Are you one who often finds the easy and quick solution to a problem instead of taking time to find a permanent solution? What is your coping strategy?
When it comes to a problem, I’ve seen many people do not have the patience to find a permanent solution due to a lack of will persistence or fear of facing the reality. So they just escape the situation by giving up on themselves and others which leads to more suffering and permanent damage later.
I remembered there was this client who has a spinal degeneration, she has no patience to devote time to re-train her body; instead she opted for the invasive spinal surgery. She is now living the side-effects of post spinal surgery which is non-reversible.
Do you know that desire is actually an energy?
How do you handle the desire energy?
Is it wrong to have desires?
Desire is one of the major driving forces in human life. It is the energy of desires that makes us get up from the bed daily to run our life. Most of the time we are driven by either desire or fear – our likes and dislikes come from desire. As a result, we have so many desires, quite often we feel we don’t have enough energy to fulfil all our desires.
I became my own boss in year 2009 after having left my corporate life for good. It was one of the best decisions I’ve made to reclaim my freedom as a conscious being. Running aimlessly in the rat race and selling my life for money may have given me the outer world success and wealth but spiritually I was not fulfilled as a Being.
This conscious decision happened after 2.5 years the moment my individual consciousness was awakened by the initiation as a disciple of a living incarnation, Paramahamsa Nithyananda (fondly known as Swamiji). With constant inspirations from him and understanding of Vedic truths, I finally summoned the courage to change my life the way I always want to live – having the freedom to spend time in deepening my spiritual growth, time for exploring Vedic sciences and time for my family. No more serving of egos in the corporate jungle and a return to living the basic spiritual principles of integrity and authenticity of ‘Who I am’ was such a refreshing change from the amount of cunningness, greed and fear in the corporate world.
