Mindfulness is making ideal use of the present by analyzing
things and looking at them from a wider perspective with a calm mind. The goal
of mindfulness should be to realize that there is no difference between you and
me. All differences are superficial.
Mindfulness is also freedom with compassion. From this freedom,
arise positivity and creativity. For progress in all spheres of life, we need freedom
with compassion, positivity and creativity.
The purpose of life is not happiness from an external source.
Purpose of life is bliss, which is to be achieved through proper understanding
that all form of happiness that we get from external source is like the dewdrop,
which disappears quickly.
Difficult situation in life is the result of ignorance.
Desire, attachment, greed, anger, jealousy, ego, hatred…etc are some of the
common forms of ignorance.
Mindfulness makes us aware of our ignorance and weaknesses.
The scattered, ever-wandering and undisciplined mind needs
to be disciplined and balanced.
Mindfulness is also channelizing the mental energy to overcome
all forms of negativity. When we are full of emotions, we are blackening out
reality. Mindfulness is not becoming slave of emotions; it is making the mind
calm and looking things in a holistic way to understand reality.
