Thought of the Week – 29th May 2023 (3)
If the history of humanity were the clinical case history of a single human being, the diagnosis would have to be: chronic paranoid delusions, a pathological propensity to commit murder and acts of extreme violence and cruelty against his perceived “enemies”—his own unconsciousness projected outward. Criminally insane, with a few brief lucid intervals.

Thought of the Week – 29th May 2023
Jesus speaks of the innermost I Am, the essence identity of every man and woman, every life-form, in fact. He speaks of the life that you are. Some Christian mystics have called it the Christ within; Buddhists call it your Buddha nature; for Hindus, it is Atman, the indwelling God. When you are in touch with that dimension within yourself—and being in touch with it is your natural state, not some miraculous achievement—all your actions and relationships will reflect the oneness with all life that you sense deep within. This is love.

Who is your fallback?
People help you the way they know to help you. To help you to come out of stress, one friend will ask you to drink and another will ask you to meditate.
To overcome hurt, one friend will ask you to take revenge and get even, and another will ask you to forgive and forget and move ahead in your life.
‘Who is your fallback’ makes all the difference.
Duryodhana’s predicament, in his own words, was, “I know what is right but I am not able to indulge in it. I know what is wrong but I am not able to avoid it.”
He needed a fallback. His fallback was his uncle Shakuni, and resultantly, Duryodhana moved from bad to worse.
Arjuna’s predicament was different. He was allowing his personal emotions to dominate his sense of duty, and hence wanted to escape from the responsibilities he had towards upholding righteousness.
He needed a fallback. His fallback was Krishna, and resultantly, Arjuna was restored to his greatness.
Humans we are, at some point or the other, we all need a fallback. ‘Who is your fallback’ makes all the difference.
Whom would like to listen to, to trust to, to follow to, to obey to, to completely surrender to?
Choose Well.
