THE BALANCING ACT

Just how do we feel if we do not acquire proper rest for a couple of days? We normally really feel drained out. Our energy and enthusiasm degree decreases and we are not able to provide 100 % in our work throughout the day. On the other hand, when can we have really sound sleep? It is possible just when we have finished all our work. If the job set up for the day is half-done the staying fifty percent keeps troubling us someplace at the rear of mind.

Rest and task are two aspects of life which show up completely other in nature however are in truth absolutely complementary to each various other. They improve each other's worth.

On a little subtler level 'Relax' (or 'Nivritti') implies retiring within. Deep 'Rest' is possible simply when activity of the mind decreases. Real remainder is cessation of all mental task. Unconsciously or knowingly we have constantly wished for this type of remainder in one kind or another.

In sleep the body and mind reduce and we obtain charged by the time we get up in morning. Over the ages people have discovered various methods to buy this energizing rest via different methods such as Petition, Yoga, Pranayama, Satsang, Mind-calming exercise, or by the Divine grace. Rest is the source of all power needed for bodily as well as psychological Activity (or 'Pravritti') in this globe.

If we take a closer consider lives of all excellent characters worldwide, we find that they knew about this 'secret source of energy within' and used it consciously. For e.g. every day Mahatma Gandhi made use of to spend time in Satsang (Bhajans) and mind-calming exercise. Mom Teresa had remarkable faith in God and for this reason Petition was a wonderful source of electricity for her.

'Nivritti' is returning to our source within and getting re-energized.

'Pravritti' is utilizing this power for our everyday activity.

The 'Fine art of Living' courses are made precisely to accomplish this excellence in both components of life.

You could obtain perfection in 'Nivritti' only if you are able to master the Art of Mind-calming exercise. The Art of living progreams like 'Advanced Mind-calming exercise Course' and 'Sahaj Samadhi Mind-calming exercise' are directed to bringing this excellence in 'Nivritti'. Meditation provides you inner excellence. Reflection cannot be picked up from books, TELEVISION or computers. It could simply be gained from a trained teacher that has developed a contemplative mind. Much like fire ignite, the mind discovers reflection in existence of a contemplative mind.

Exactly what stops us from obtaining excellence in life activity ('Pravritti')? We have actually established ideas concerning our very own self and the world around us. We have actually dealt with concepts regarding our very own toughness and weaknesses. We build our very own wall surfaces of restrictions around us and these walls stop us from offering our ONE HUNDRED % while acting in the world. Art of living's 'Divya Samaj Nirman' (DSN) course is created to damage all these mental barriers and make it possible for one to check out ones endless capacity.
