The brighter side..

It is awesome weather!

Rain drops on the window always remind me of my childhood, when I used to lay on my bed, just watching them.. and my mom geing me hot tea!! wow.. can things get any better!

Kinshuk and me just took a little break from work, met up for a short break by the lawn, grabbed some hot chocolate.. and just sat.. looking at the lovely weather.. Its so amazing, how the weather automatically uplifts your mood..and makes you feel that expansion within… ! 🙂

No, we were not talking romance..:) We were indeed discussing Ashtavakra Geeta and the knowledge sheet about mind..

This is from what Guruji said today -:

Q: My friends expect me to drive them in my car, but then they drink. 
They look at me differently. I don't understand why.

Sri Sri: It's very difficult to understand people's minds. So, you 
better give up. They themselves don't understand their mind, so how can 
you understand their mind? Do you understand your own mind?

The most unreliable thing in your life is your own mind. One minute, it 
likes something, another minute it likes something else. So, your mind 
goes all over the place. So, you cannot rely on your own mind. Once you 
know this, you will laugh, you will smile. Never mind: why should I 
control someone else's mind when my mind itself is not under my 
control? Isn't it?

Our mind is a multi-channeled television. You know, there are so many 
channels: the horror channel, history channel, discovery channel, news 
channel and then there is a cartoon channel. All is happening!

A poet from Karnataka (a state in South India) wrote a very nice couplet 
about the mind. He said: The mind is like a forest, with so many animals 
in it. There are nightingales that sing very sweetly and there are 
crows, and there are tigers, lions and there are mosquitoes. The same 
way, your mind is a forest.

It's amazing, just to watch what our mind says. Nobody's mind is in 
their control, we shouldn't expect everyone to behave like an 
enlightened person. Unfortunately, that is what we do. We want everyone 
to be perfect.

The world always considers you, sees you, much better than what you are. 
And even the people don't see you the way you are, or the way you are 
not. Never mind, why do you have to bother about it?
