What is Ignorance?

 When we are a child, we fear from dark, we fear from ghost even in our own house. We don’t enter into next room until someone/adult come with us or switch on the light for us.

But the same room, same darkness we perceive in a totally different way after few years. We understand and agree, there is nothing to fear about in my house. I am safe to go to next room and switch lights ON by my own. That understanding is right knowledge and that fear from dark or ghost is an Ignorance.

Similarly we are afraid of strangers in childhood but when we grow up, we develop the skills, how to introduce to strangers, what details we should share and what not? or how to communicate with someone or know about them more.

So in both this scenario, with time, age, understanding and experience we react totally different.

Ignorance is like that, we fear something which is actually not there. With right knowledge we react totally different in similar situation, In Ignorance the same situation or same people are bothering us day and night.

Keeping mind beautiful

At temple BG Baudhik, was explaining kids, how to think when someone upsets you? When we feel unhappy or upset that is mainly because of our lack of knowledge. cleaning mind is nothing but an habit of Introspect, habit of thinking right. going to light from darkness. Thinking like My ego is giving me pain? My attachment to something is giving me pain? What wrong did I do? Understand the person, understand the situation. that process is like cleaning your mind. Decorate your mind with beautiful memories. bin the upsetting or unhappy moments and be friendly with everyone. It is like when we spill juice accidentally, we clean it immediately. similarly make a habit of cleaning your mind as soon as possible when you realize you are upset or unhappy. Our soul's quality is to be happy, at peace. Some darkness cover our happiness or peace state and we feel upset. Immediate cleaning is possible through introspection. Introspection is is important to keep mind beautiful. To be happy and to

Life journey.

When I was a child, I was scared of darkness and strangers. I used to afraid of ghost, I struggled to find things and used to shout or became anxious and impatience. With time, I learnt when there is a dark, switch on the light.  I have learnt an art how to smile at strangers and make friendship. I have learnt that Ghost is in mind, also becoming impatience is not the solution and now easily i find the stuff. All these took years, with fully developed mind (brain cells) & experiences many things are not same so neither me. So in my journey, I know One day I will reach to the highest possible level and so everyone will too. I am accepting everyone's ignorance same as mine.  I am at peace. I am strong. every moment, I am growing, growing and growing. During cyclone, wind or storm, I might shake, I might shiver but I know all these are like dark tunnel. at the end of the tunnel, there is light, bright light and I welcome that light inside me.  we all are walking towards that light

Mood and Commitments

  There are many situations in life where you cannot act on your mood. For example, if you’re in a plane and suddenly you feel you don’t want to continue the journey, though your mood has changed halfway you cannot get out of the plane! You've got to be there. It’s not a car that you’re driving where you can turn back. Even for the car you have to find the exit where you can turn back. You can’t turn anywhere. So, life teaches you hard lessons if you don’t respect wisdom. Know that life goes with commitment, not moods. Moods are very unstable. They come, they change. But commitment and wisdom always bring the best results. -Sri Sri Ravishankar
