Each time we attach ourselves to anything, which is external or internal, we create fears, amongst which the main one is the fear of loss of what I am attached to. The attachment not only gives rise to fear, but also brings with it emotions like anger, ego, sadness, jealousy, greed, comparisons, hatred, etc. All those emotions have their roots in attachment, which gives rise to insecurity and discontentment. Attachment is a sanskar that is so deeply embedded inside our consciousness that it seems normal to us. It is just a sanskar but it has immense amount of power & it manages to imprison us, emotionally, spiritually, but most of the time we do not even realise that we are imprisoned. The negative emotional states connected with this kind of attachment create a state of internal mental pressure or an inner emptiness and make us feel absolutely helpless and emotionally week at times and harm our consciousness negatively. Over a period of many births, we have become so accustomed to attachment, and the various forms of suffering connected with it, that we have started believing that it is an integral part of human personality and human life since the beginning and is, therefore, natural. And so we continue with the sanskar of attachment and even keep strengthening it, never ever thinking that it should be removed. We do this with internal stress, unhappiness to the point that even our health, work and relationships gets affected negatively. The natural state of the self is free and not attached to anything. The present suffering indicates to us that attachment is something abnormal or not natural.

 When you replace ‘lose’ with ‘learn’ the thought of failure becomes less daunting & lets you focus on growth. Let the failures in your life be your learning experiences. Avoid failures by analysing your perspective of such earlier occurrences. Further, make your experiences available to others so that alround failures can be minimised. A very important part of our lives is touching, heart warming each one we meet with our love and best wishes at every step. We all know what a good natured, complaisant, cheerful person is and that we should be one and give happiness, contentment, pleasure to everyone. We all also know that people all over the world, who are nice natured, benevolent, amiable, friendly, differ from the rest of the world & stand above everyone else.

 At the end of each day, we tick off items from our ‘To- Do’ list. Kindly let us also check our ‘To- Be’ list. Daily self evaluation, estimation, judgment, appraisal is a healthy practice and the key to success, accomplishment, achievement in every sphere of our lives. At some point or the other, we receive feedback, assessment, estimation, response from other people about our inner personality, character, nature, charisma of who we are, who we can be, and how can we improve, enhance, upgrade, boost. Instead of knowing ourselves through the eyes of others, we can self evaluate ourselves daily and improve our inner personality. This will bring a drastic, exorbitant, extravagant, desperate change in your looks, your behaviour, attitude, conduct, your personality, temperament, charisma without fail. You may not get a chance to partake in some gigantic, extensive, enormous, colossal scheme of service through which millions may be aided, helped, benefitted; you can lift a lame lamb over...
