When you're depressed, you don't feel like taking a bath or cleaning the room. But you feel good after doing it. Same with meditation. You must do it when you don't feel like doing it.

If you're feeling low, take it as a cloudy day. There shall be rain and a new level of clarity shall emerge.

Your spiritual journey won't be all nice and flowery. Your inner demons will come to the surface and make you feel terrible before leaving you permanently.

Nobody understands you. Even you don't understand yourself. You are suffering because you are trying to fit into known categories, labels and structures.

So much stress! I am a victim of city lifestyle. Life is so good in villages." Playing victim like this is a mechanism of mind to get some relief."My sister-in-law doesn't respect me."

Don't run away from a dilemma. Be with it; Inner clarity shall arise.

It's easy for a preacher to say 'Let Go'. Imagine a king who wants to let go of his power because it's giving him nothing but stress and anxiety. If he lets go of it, his enemies will kill him. He has to first let go of his own body-mind. Then right circumstances will form and his body-mind will be able let go of power safely.You have to let go of things spiritually before you can let go of them physically.

For those who live in the body, death is the biggest fear. For those who live in the mind, there are much bigger fears than death; There are moments when death almost feels like a relief.
