Mind is the instrument in hand, it is our choice to manage the string not too loose, not too tight, but just right - 
Emotions are energy too, when they flow the most they hurt the least. Make a choice to let it flow out of us like a river.

The ability to think and reason depends upon the knowledge and can be influenced by emotions. We can not accept any kind of disharmony, whenever we are in such situations we try to over come it by one or the other means. Because disharmony cant be accepted and it is not our nature. We look for harmony around us. Therefore when we are in harmony with the situation, we look for comforts. If we are not harmony with the situations then we are in harmony with the stress. Any thing causes disharmony that causes anxiety and tension. Since tension and anxiety are not our original nature, we can’t accept it and hence we can’t leave with anxiety and tension for a long period. It becomes very difficult to deal with and so mind starts doing something about it.

Mind undergoes different process to deal with such conflicts, to be comfortable. It triggers a defence mechanism, but fails to deal with the thoughts or feelings of that time. So mind gets agitated and it goes to our “unconscious” state of mind. Unconscious state is a functional entity and exists within us, which we are not aware of. This state of mind consists of certain feelings, thoughts and so on. We unconsciously retrieve these feelings at any given time.

Mind becomes efficient, only when it is not distracted. To accomplish a sought goal, mind must be capable of working consistently towards the goal. In the process of accomplishing the sought goal if we loose our mind over any type of disappointments, then we can’t achieve anything. A distracted mind is the big problem in accomplishing any goals. During the course of accomplishment mind drifts away from the subject matter very regularly. We may be willing to do a lot of things, but mind doesn’t come with us.

We can be alert, by knowing the behaviour of mind. Mastering over the mind helps to be with our self during the course of all our actions. Mind has to be used only as an instrument in our hand.

Jealousy can destroy oneself!

Once, when Karna realized hat Arjuna was superior to him in archery, he approached Guru Drona and requested him to teach him how to be blessed with Brahmastra.  Guru Drona declined saying he can't teach any but a learned scholar rooted in dhrma or a kshatriya who had purified himself by dhrma and dhyana.  Disappointed Karna went to the Mahendra parvatha where sage Parashurama was staying. He deceived Parashurama by saying that he was a brahmana and became his disciple. From him he obtained instruction in archery and the use of many astras. Karna chose to approach Guru Drona for Brahmastra not for peace, but to prove his strength over Arjuna. His choice was plagued by likes and dislikes like jealousy. Where he had a choice to appreciate Arjuna, which he could not because of his likes and dislikes of not accepting others as more knowledgeable. He deceived Parashurama, because he wanted to learn something special by which he could prove that he is more superior to Arjuna. Karna

One day, I was walking through the walking paths of woods of the ashrama. It was a gorgeous evening; Sun was preparing to set. Suddenly, there was a big snake in front of me. I had almost stepped on, no one around and this could be painful death. I was paralyzed by fear, my body had broken into a sweat, my heart was beating to pop out.  But then, suddenly Guruji came and he dared to have a glance at the snake. Surprisingly, he claimed, “Devadutta, it is a rope. That snake is  a rope”. Now I realized I am safe and free from the fear of the snake. I can encounter this false snake for years after year. The entire Gurukula or for that matter the entire world could come upon this snake and scare themselves to death – I could remain fearlessly.  Guruji continued, “We build up our own stories, fear, pain and judgements about why it is a snake and not a rope. Our argument is to prove that the rope is a snake. We see and make others see a snake in the rope”. Now
