Simple Truth for Mental Peace

Beat Stress and Fear Instantly with This One Secret!

We all experience mental stress, and in 99.99% of cases, it arises from one primary reason: not being able to come to terms with a situation. This was a profound lesson I learned early in life, thanks to my father’s timeless advice. Whenever I found myself in danger or facing a serious predicament, his words would echo in my mind, guiding me through the turmoil.

My father’s advice was simple yet powerful: “In times of trouble, stay calm and ask yourself what to do next.” This approach encourages acceptance of the situation, even if temporarily, and prompts you to ask, “What next?” This small but significant shift in mindset allows your intelligence to take over, pushing aside emotional responses and enabling you to find practical solutions.

Life can often feel overwhelmingly complicated, much like making intricate ‘jalebis’. However, the true sources of our stress are usually straightforward: ego, sense of entitlement, and self-pity. My father taught me to recognise these barriers and to let them go. By doing so, you clear the path to a more serene and manageable life.

Embracing this mindset has been a cornerstone of my highly eventful life. It’s a strategy that has repeatedly proven its worth, offering a 100% guarantee for a life filled with peace, love, joy, and humour. These golden words, rooted in my father’s wisdom, can help anyone achieve a blissful existence.

So, next time you find yourself in a stressful situation, remember to stay calm, accept the moment, and simply ask, “What next?” You’ll be amazed at how quickly clarity and solutions emerge.

Chasing Shadows: The Myth of Falling in Love Twice

Posted on by Tavamithram Sarvada

Loving the ‘Ghosts’ of the Past

The Illusions of Rekindled Love

To rekindle love with the same person is to engage not with the individual afresh but with the echoes of memories. This profound realisation speaks to the heart’s intrinsic tendency to seek comfort in the familiar, often failing to distinguish between past and present.

When you attempt to fall in love a second time with the same person, it is not the person themselves that you are drawn to, but rather the nostalgic recollections of who they once were in your life. The heart, in its yearning, seeks not the present reality but the cherished illusions of the past. This longing is similar to chasing a mirage, where the closer you believe you are to reclaiming that love, the further you drift from the truth of the now.

mirage 02

Memories hold a powerful sway over us. They encapsulate moments of joy, connection, and intimacy, making them seem far more vibrant than the reality might have been. Everyone changes in life. Their looks, likes, dislikes, attitudes, expectations from others, and overall philosophy of life keep changing. When a person endeavours to rediscover a lost love, the truth is that they are not engaging with the person as they are in the present moment, with all their growth, changes, and complexities. Instead, they entwine themselves with the shadows of what once was, rather than the essence of what is.

This pursuit is fraught with peril. It sets us on a path where the idealised past overshadows the potential of the present. The beauty of memory lies in its ability to preserve moments, yet its danger resides in its capacity to imprison us within them. By constantly looking backwards, we risk missing the opportunities for genuine connection and growth that exist in the present.

To truly understand the nature of love is to recognise its fluidity. Love is not a static entity that can be perfectly recaptured once lost; it is an evolving force that thrives in the present moment. Embracing this perspective allows us to honour our memories, all of which are learning experiences, without becoming enslaved by them, and opening ourselves to the possibility of new experiences and deeper connections.

In the end, the quest to fall in love again with the same person teaches us a poignant lesson: the past, with all its beauty and pain, should be cherished but not clung to. The essence of true love lies in its ability to adapt, to grow, and to find beauty in the present, rather than in the shadows of what once was.

Beyond Beliefs: Harmony Rather Than Conflict

Posted on by Tavamithram Sarvada

The Belief Factor: How Our Views Shape Conflicts

The Power and Perils of Belief

This is about the critical exploration of ‘belief’. After extensive studies and observations, I’ve come to understand that ‘belief’ is the pivotal word we should all be examining and working on. It is the root cause behind many disagreements that have the potential to escalate into serious conflicts, crime, violence, and even wars between nations.

The term ‘belief’ can be defined as an acceptance that something exists or is true, especially one without proof.

Whether it’s a small dispute among family members, friends, or colleagues, or larger-scale disagreements between nations, beliefs—or rather, the lack of respect for individual beliefs—are the seeds that grow into major conflicts. Not to forget that a belief held so strongly it leads to major showdowns between individuals or separations between couples can, in the future, contradict the philosophy of the same person as they evolve.

Through a series of insightful videos, I aim to shed light on how deeply ingrained beliefs influence our interactions and shape the world around us.

Join me on this journey as we uncover the true impact of unsubstantiated beliefs on our lives and learn how to navigate through differences with understanding and respect. Together, let’s explore how fostering critical thinking and open-mindedness can lead to personal growth and societal harmony.

From practical techniques for controlling anger to profound insights into the nature of the SELF and the mind, we will explore how these ancient philosophies offer guidance for finding inner peace amidst the turmoil of emotions.

Conclusion

By integrating these ancient teachings into our lives, we can cultivate greater emotional resilience, and clarity of mind, and, ultimately, experience lasting inner peace. Stay tuned for more insightful discussions on Stoic-Vedanta topics in the upcoming posts!

“Nothing in this Life is Permanent, not even our Problems” – Charlie Chaplin

Posted on by Tavamithram Sarvada

“Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot.”

Charlie Chaplin once told a joke in front of an audience.

Everyone laughed.

And he told it a second time, so only a few laughed.

When he told it for the third time, no one laughed.

Then he said these beautiful words.

“If you can’t laugh and laugh at the same joke, why do you cry and cry at the same pain and sorrow?”

So cherish every moment life throws your way. Charlie Chaplin crafted a timeless legacy, his words resonating deeply without causing harm. These phrases, stirring the heart, stand as a testament to his profound impact.

Below are three quotes from Charlie Chaplin who is also known as the greatest showman of all times.

“Nothing in this life is permanent, not even our Problems.”

“I love walking in the rain so no one can see my tears.”

“The day you waste the most in your life is the day you don’t laugh.”

The “I Am” Truth: Brihadaranyaka Upanishad’s Path to Enlightenment

All beings are equally Divine

Vedic Wisdom for Everyday Life: Transcending Duality and Embracing Oneness

Unveiling the All-Pervading Truth: Beyond Form and Duality
In the whole of existence, Vedic Dharma offers a profound perspective on the ultimate reality: Brahman or Krishna. This all-encompassing truth transcends the limitations of the physical world, often described as an illusion (Maya).

The Impermanence of the Seen
Our senses perceive a world of sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and textures. Yet, these are mere appearances, ever-changing and impermanent. The true essence lies in the unchanging, formless Brahman – SatChitAnanda (Existence, Consciousness, Bliss).

Beyond Duality: The Oneness of All
Understanding Brahman shatters the illusion of duality. We are not separate entities, but expressions of the one divine consciousness. This dispels the misconception that some beings are more divine than others. All are equally part of the all-pervading truth.

The Illusory “I”
The ego, the sense of “I” and “me,” arises from our identification with the physical body. True knowledge lies in recognising the Self as a witness, not an actor. The question of origin (“Where do I come from?”) becomes irrelevant, for the eternal Brahman has no beginning or end.

Understanding through the Shlokas
The downloadable PDF files containing five Shlokas (verses) from the Bhagavad Gita below offer a glimpse into this all-pervading divinity. Studying these verses can help seekers awaken to the divine essence within and around them.

Moving Beyond Rituals
While rituals have their place, true spiritual growth comes from the knowledge and experience of Vedanta, the core philosophy of Vedic Dharma. Vedanta guides us towards realising the oneness of Brahman and dissolving the illusion of separation.

A Word on Anthropomorphism
It’s important to acknowledge that descriptions of Brahman or Krishna using human-like forms (anthropomorphism) are simply tools to aid comprehension. The ultimate reality is beyond such limitations.

The Wisdom of the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad
The profound statement “Aham Brahmasmi” (I am Brahman), from the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad 1.4.10 of the Yajur Veda, encapsulates the essence of non-duality. It reminds us that our true nature is inseparable from the all-pervading Brahman.

Embrace the Oneness
By shedding the veil of illusion and embracing the non-dual nature of Brahman, we can cultivate a life filled with peace, understanding, and connection to all beings.

Love and respect everyone, all living beings, and, above all, sincerely adore and revere nature.
