Overcoming Anything? This is for You Then.

Narayani Namostute.

When you vow to leave something then that particular thing or person or that thought comes in abundance.

Ever happened to you?

Well, it happened to me all the time.

One morning I decided I’ll not talk to that person because after all he is not paying my bills and I’m not bound to anyone then why to let anyone hurt my sentiments and affect my mental as well as emotional health?

I deleted his contact and removed him from my all social accounts, poor me.

That evening he apologized to me, what now? Accept him again? No not at all. Yes I accepted his apology and forgive him but I never talked to him the way I used to.

When doing Shradhh karam of my grandfather in Gaya, Bihar, priest (Panda) asked my father to leave one fruit for his whole life, it’s a gesture and ritual here in India. My father decided to leave Sitaphal (Custard Apple), it’s a fruit that is not much popular in Himachal and personally haven’t tried it till now. So my father thought he’ll never encouter this typical fruit and leaving this fruit was a wise decision.

But nature plays it’s role. My father got his transfer from Jharkhand to Vishakhapatnam and boom in his guest house courtyard there is a big tree full of Sitaphal. Hahahaha. Everyone except my father are enjoying those delicious fresh fruits. But here my father has to stick to his Sankalp.

I have many more experiences to share but there is no need to share all of them.

What you have to do?

No matter where you are, there is difference between detachment and avoiding something. 

वास्तव में जो विराग है वो रागात्मक वस्तु के पास रह कर आता है। जिससे हमें राग हो उस से दूर हो कर केवल उसकी स्मृति भूलने का प्रयास हम करते है, ये वास्तव में वैराग्य नहीं है। जब भोगने की वस्तु सामने हो और आपके मन ये विचार भी न आए की ये भोगने को वस्तु है तो मान लीजिए आप सही रास्ते पर हैं।

So, don’t worry this will happen to you, the habit, person, thought, addiction anything, when you decide to overcome them they will use their armed forces to counter you but you have to be there in war and encouter against them and win the war.

You are a Warrior.

We are a Warrior.
