'I-me-myself'...

From morning to night and from night to morning all we think of is about 'i-me-myself', my career, my marriage, my bank balance, my social status, my fame, my family, my friends... perfectly normal right? Wrong. This 'my' thinking reduces our thought process to such a tiny level that we are always thinking of ourselves and thus our problems seem too big to us and we are unconcerned about things that are happening around us- things happening to our environment, our society, our planet and where things are actually heading....if only we could incorporate small things in our life- like keeping a bowl of water for the thirsty birds, or feeding a stray dog or a cow in our locality while going or coming back from work, helping any random person or animal in any way possible.. you will start to experience a change in your thoughts and no problem would seem too big. Dont believe me...perfectly fine.... try it out yourself!!!

Also take a moment to think.... we spend every day doing almost the same routine and keep on doing the same things the whole of our life. Isnt that a little weird? Is this all what human life has to offer? 7 billion human beings on the planet living more or less similar lives ... Or is there more to a human being which one is yet to explore? A normal human being has 5 senses - the sense of sight, sound, taste, smell, touch. And we are busy indulging in these. But what if someone tells you a human being has a potential to have upto 16 senses. If experience of 5 we enjoy so much how would it be to have all 16?!!!!

"A human being has a total of 16 senses, some of the commonly known ones are clairvoyance, clairaudience, extra sensory perception and premonition. These remain dormant in an ordinary being for he spends his limited force on the pleasures of the five senses, which are temporary and short-lived. A yogi is able to awaken these higher senses by conserving sukra through yog in its pure form, not as taught by the majority of commercial gurus who focus on the body and physical desires or bhog. A physical desire is temporary and will finish very soon; for example, we very easily tire out of one computer game and want different versions. It is played using the same remote and the same commands, even the actions are the same; yet we desire more, our eyes tire and we look dazed. Ageing in the human body corresponds to this. The human body is temporary, a part of the physical world and thus has to perish. It is up to us whether we want to make our lifetime count or be wasted by being trapped in the temporariness of the physical world." -Yogi Ashwini
