How to overcome evil tendencies?

How to overcome evil tendencies?

Just as darkness cannot be dispelled by darkness but by light alone, even so, the evil tendencies that have roots in ignorance can be annihilated only by divine wisdom. Divine qualities like unconditional love, wisdom, peace, joy as well as sinful tendencies like jealousy, hatred, anger, slandering co-exist in every human being.

We all want to make this world a better place by eradicating evil. But it is impossible for one person to do that. If each one of us only takes responsibility of himself by eradicating the wrongful habits and replacing them with good ones, then as a whole, we can make this world a better place. For most often than not, it is people who are creating problems for other people.

When we are unhappy, let us meditate on joy, and simultaneously eliminate the root cause of our sadness. When we are jealous, let us remind ourselves that we are all one big family, and therefore, we wish health, wealth and success for our brothers. When we are filled with hatred, let us meditate on courage, kindness and forgiveness. As we install these ideas in our subconscious mind, we begin to see physiological changes too as our body reacts accordingly. When a sad thought is introduced to our mind, for example, by watching a sad movie, tears start rolling down our cheeks. Similarly, a funny thought makes us laugh. Therefore, if we can learn to control our mind, we can control our body too. As the mind thinks, the body reacts.

Every saint was once a sinner and every sinner will one day become a saint. We are all evolving towards our highest potential. As we are all children of God, we have the potential to be God-like.

Instead of trying to control other people and situations, we must try to control ourselves. Let us make our life an upward climb, where we rise from gross lower chakras with sinful tendencies to purer higher chakras and thus exhibit divine qualities like love, wisdom, peace, compassion, forgiveness and joy.

- Shikha Narula (Author of 'Autobiography of a Shiva Devotee')

Worship Him from your heart.

"On my bad days, I seek you. On my good days, I thank you. On my great days, I praise you. But everyday I need you. Thank you God for always being there for me. "

Start your prayers with thank you and praise Him for who He is and what He does but do you think words are enough. We Can say “thank you” so easily and then just as easily go back to living in ways that don’t seem very thankful. Be thankful in all circumstances, God wants us to thank and praise Him. Everything you do or say should be done to obey God. And in all you do, give thanks to God.

Worship him from your heart. Taking your everyday, ordinary life ; your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life ; and place it before God as an offering. We were made to worship him, to thank and praise him, the One who loves us and gives us all we need for today and for always.

The purpose of life is to realise the oneness of all creation and one's identity with the Divinity. True life is life in God. The goal of life is God-realisation. The purpose of human birth is to achieve Divine Consciousness. You have come here to merge into him. The purpose of your existence is to serve with divine bhava (attitude), to purify and steady the mind, to attain freedom and perfection, which is Self-realisation.
Practise self-control, have a pure mind. Cultivate strong yearning for liberation. Meditate ceaselessly on your inner Self which is the only Reality, which is pure Consciousness, have perfect faith in God.

Do not miss the golden opportunity this life gives you for God-realisation. Let each day dawn for you as a fresh opportunity and occasion, opening up before you to move one step further towards the great attainment of God-realisation. Precious is human birth. It is given to you to do rigorous practice of Bhakti Yoga, and to attain the supreme goal of God-realisation. 🌀👁🌀

Your scars are symbols of your strength.

Your scars are symbols of your strength.
Don’t ever be ashamed of the scars life has left you with. A scar means the hurt is over and the wound is closed. It means you conquered the pain, learned a lesson, grew stronger, and moved forward. A scar is the tattoo of a triumph to be proud of. Don’t allow scars to make you live your life in fear. You can’t make the scars in your life disappear, but you can change the way you see them. You can start seeing your scars as a sign of strength and not pain.

The wound is the place where the Light enters you. Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most powerful characters in this great world are seared with scars. See your scars as a sign of “YES! I MADE IT! I survived and I have my scars to prove it! And now I have a chance to grow even stronger.”! Love light & Peace ✨🌀👁🔱🌷🕉🐚🐍⏳🌙🌿💀🔆🌈🔔📿🌸🙏✨

When things aren’t going the way we had hoped we tend to land on one frame of mind and one frame of mind only.

When things aren’t going the way we had hoped we tend to land on one frame of mind and one frame of mind only. We repeat to ourselves “why me” over and over and over again. When we are in a storm, we really lose sight of everything except for what is causing harm or pain, and what is holding us back. The thing is that anything in life whether it be good or bad, happy or sad is going to take effort on your part. The good things in our lives didn’t come because we closed our eyes and hoped that they would, they came because we took action, we didn’t give up or give in until they were obtained. Why is it that we seem to lose that mindset and lose that determination once things start to go not according to plan? I know a lot of it is mental, it is possible and we are capable of putting that mindset to work when we are in a storm, and it will help us sing in the rain, and it will help us power through until the sun begins to shine. Remember the sun always shines it’s brightest after the biggest storms.

Without rain, nothing grows. Learn to embrace the storms in life.. We all will go through trials and suffer in this life. We have the choice to either be joyous or miserable during those times. I prefer joy. Trials will meet us at every stage of life, but they don’t last forever. God did not promise that this life will be easy, but He did promise to use the storms for good. He also promises to be our strength and our shield as we go through difficult times.

Your storm is not the end of the world. When you learn to accept the life that God has given you, your whole outlook transforms. Your life is unique, and it is beautiful. Having strength through the storms comes from accepting the life God has handed you and rooting your Faith in His plan. His plan for your life is better than the plan you have dreamed of. Once you accept that, you will find strength in it. There will be days when you think that there is no way you can get up and face another day. The storm is beating you down. But get up, and live to fight another day. just accept whatever is happening. Consciously make an effort to choose joy instead of giving into misery. Because without rain, nothing grows.! ✨🕉👁🌼⏳🔱🌀🌷🐚🔔🌿💀🌙🐍🌸🔆🙏✨

It is said that Shiva's anger was so fierce that the entire world would shake up when Shiva opened his third eye.

It is said that Shiva's anger was so fierce that the entire world would shake up when Shiva opened his third eye. Shiva's destruction is not negative. It is a positive, nourishing and constructive destruction which builds and transforms life and energy for the welfare of the world and the beings that inhabit it. He destroys in order to renew and regenerate life forms and facilitate the transformation, evolution or modifications of Nature. Through destruction he facilitates the smooth transitions of things and events from one stage to another.

He destroys our imperfections to ensure our spiritual progress. He destroys our illusions, desires and ignorance. He destroys our evil and negative nature. He destroys our old memories, so that we can move on with the movement of time. He destroys our relationships, attachment, impurities, physical and mental wrong doings, the effects of bad karma, our passions and emotions and many things that stand between us and God as impediments to our progress and inner transformation. And in the end when we have made sufficient progress, when we are ready and prepared, and when we are willing to become transformed into light and wisdom without any inner conflict, he destroys death itself. Since he is so vital to life and existence, Shiva is synonymous with life and Shava (the absence of Shiva) with death. Shiva is existence and Shava is nonexistence.! ✨🌷🔆💀🐍🌙🕉⏳🌙🌿🐚🔱🌀🔔🌼
