We are not puppets controlled by a god. This very
thought that there is someone who controls our life is a wrong notion. It is
ignorance. Our never-ending desires, fear and attachment are the reason for us
becoming puppets. We are controlled by our desires, fear and attachments. When
we realize this and take the necessary steps, we are no longer puppets.

We all get emotionally unbalanced; there is nothing to be
ashamed of it. However, if we are not able to regain our balance quickly then
we have a problem. When we live in the world, we are sure to be emotionally
disturbed. There are innumerable ways in which a person can be disturbed mentally.
The moment this happens, we need to tune our mind towards the spiritual channel
in us. An angry and emotional mind takes only wrong decisions, it only utters
words that hurt and cause harm, and it only does those physical actions that
are to be never performed. Breathe in and out. Close the eyes and remember the
people whom you love most. Get back to your normal self and deal with the situation
with full courage and confidence.

Bad deeds in life haunt us. If it haunts you then it means
you are repenting. This is a good sign. Propelled by desire we perform several
actions in life that might have hurt other people. We never realize it then.
But when we face a crisis, all the bad deeds come to haunt us. There is no
escape from it. You can only repent and perform good actions. Bad deeds can
only be washed with good deeds. This has to be done in this life itself. So, if
you are becoming uncomfortable recollecting the bad deeds, start now itself to
perform good deeds.
