@Sw_Mukundananda This is a great reminder to stay mindful of operating under the influence of our lower nature. After all, if we feel hurt by someone else's behavior, it is usually a sign of pride, attachment, or expectations within us.

[Swami Mukundananda @Sw_Mukundananda]

How often do we allow someone else's actions to disturb our inner peace?

Sometimes, in our attempt to hurt those who hurt us, we end up hurting ourselves even more. Anger and resentment only deepen our own pain, while the other person may remain unaffected. Instead of reacting impulsively, we must learn to pause, rise above our emotions, and let go. By choosing not to hold on to bitterness, we protect our inner peace and make room for greater happiness.

@Sw_Mukundananda So true! Training ourselves to steer the mind with a wisdom-endowed intellect is critical to breaking free from the pangs of our lower nature. This goes far beyond passive witnessing and takes deliberate practice. Thanks so much for the reminder Swamiji!

[Swami Mukundananda @Sw_Mukundananda]

We often allow our thoughts and emotions to dictate how we feel and respond to situations. Instead, we must train our mind to focus on solutions and the steps needed to move forward. We need not be prisoners of our habitual thought patterns.

By becoming aware of our thoughts and consciously directing them, we can gradually transform the mind from an obstacle into an instrument of growth and progress.

@Sw_Mukundananda @Rupa_Books So, so grateful to Swamiji for this precious gift! Learning how to transcend the cycle of birth and death from Yamraj is truly thrilling. The 'For scholars' sections that go deep into the etymology of various Sanskrit terms have made it so much more enlightening and invigorating.

What is the secret of life and death? What is the true nature of the soul? How can we attain lasting happiness?

Through the fascinating dialogue between young Nachiketa and Yamraj, the god of death, the Katha Upanishad reveals profound spiritual wisdom with simplicity and clarity.

@Sw_Mukundananda Perhaps, whatever material crutches we rely on in life, are all arranged by God to fulfill our purpose in the grand design of the Universe - and, in the process, become better versions of ourselves. If that is true, then God alone is our eternal crutch.

[Swami Mukundananda @Sw_Mukundananda]

While externally utilizing material crutches like relatives, position, wealth and health, we should internally repose all our faith in God. He is our eternal relative, and He loves us selflessly.
When we surrender to Him in this way, He protects us from within, never letting us down.

@Sw_Mukundananda Thank you so much for inspiring us to take an inward journey and focus on purifying the heart! Reading this book by Swamiji really helped: https://t.co/LEi9anFFVK

[Swami Mukundananda @Sw_Mukundananda]

People visit holy sites but carry worldly thoughts within. They adorn deities externally but neglect inner purity. They bathe in sacred rivers yet harbour ignoble thoughts. However, the aim of all rituals is to cleanse the mind with loving devotion.

The real journey of spirituality is an inward one. It calls us to look beyond external observances and transform the way we think of and perceive the world. Every spiritual practice is an opportunity to rise above our lower nature and awaken the higher qualities within us, gradually bringing us closer to God.

@Sw_Mukundananda True! To have faith and practice surrender means to accept that life's challenges are designed by the Universe to help us grow. When we cultivate a solution-oriented mindset, we are far more likely to remain positive under pressure and avoid succumbing to our lower nature.

[Swami Mukundananda @Sw_Mukundananda]

Challenges do not always determine the direction of our lives; our response to them often does. When we focus on problems, we become overwhelmed by obstacles, but when we shift our attention to solutions, new possibilities begin to emerge. A positive and resourceful mindset helps us move forward even when circumstances seem unfavorable.

Therefore, in order to be successful, be solution-oriented.

[Simran @77Simran77]

@Sw_Mukundananda So true! Alongside deepening our surrender and faith in God, we must continuously ensure the intellect is fed with knowledge so the lower nature does not take over, even for a moment. That is the hardest, most exhausting aspect while we are still under the sway of maya.

[Swami Mukundananda @Sw_Mukundananda]

Surrender to God is not an external act. It is a state of the consciousness, an internal condition of the mind, intellect, and ego.

When we surrender to God with complete faith, fear and worry begin to dissolve. We learn to accept His will with humility and move through life with the confidence that He is guiding us.

@Sw_Mukundananda The lamps we light physically last but a day. Saints inspire us to cleanse our heart with divine wisdom, fill it with divine love, weave the wick of compassion, and ignite it through selfless service to shine for eternity.

[Swami Mukundananda @Sw_Mukundananda]

This Diwali, let us illumine our hearts with the divine lamp of love and knowledge of God. Let us welcome Him into our hearts and dispel the darkness of countless lifetimes.

As we celebrate this festival of lights, let us look beyond the outer celebrations and focus on illuminating our inner world through devotion and spiritual wisdom. May His presence fill our hearts with lasting peace, joy, and fulfillment.

Wishing you and your family a blessed and a joyous Diwali!

@Sw_Mukundananda The frog in the story teaches us to surrender. God only bestows grace, though in material consciousness, we often mistake difficulties for punishments. The Universe is created and orchestrated by God solely to help us (his tiny parts) learn to love Him and attain infinite bliss.
