This body is mortal always gripped by death but within it dwells the immortal Self…
There is only one means to control one’s mind, that is to destroy thoughts as soon as they arise…
When all the desires that surge in the heart are renounced, the mortal becomes immortal.
When all the knots that strangle the heart are loosened, the mortal becomes immortal…
When, to a man who understands, the Self has become all things, what sorrow, what trouble can there be to him who once beheld that oneness…...........................SAYS.....................................................Upanishads.

You OWEmore than what you OWN..................
Do not cultivate too much attachment to things of the world, which appeal to carnal desires and sensual thirsts. A moment will come when you have to depart from this earth empty handed leaving all you have laboriously or otherwise collected and proudly called your own. You own nothing materially..............You are only a Temporary custodian of your possessions..............and always remember " YOU OWE MORE THAN WHAT YOU SAID TO BE OWN.".........................
Taking charge of your Responses in Close Relationships...................
Taking Charge Of Your Responses In Close Relationships.................
In relationships with your loved ones, when looking at the other, sometimes positive emotions are generated and sometimes negative. On the one hand, joy, love and happiness is generated on being with them; but then attachment, dependency and expectations are generated.
In such situations, you are more focused on others and are always looking at the other person's behavior, you stop seeing yourself and being aware of your reactions and taking the responsibility for the responses that you create.
You get frustrated when the other person does not meet your expectations. As you depend on them, if they don't act as you would like, if they don't reach home or call you at the time you would like; all this frustrates you. You radiate this energy to the other: "they are not doing what they should be doing," and so you feel frustrated and discontented.
All the while that you hold the other one responsible for your frustration, you are not in charge of your own reactions, because you have given power to the other to dominate your emotional world. It is there that you lose your freedom. You lose your freedom because you give to the other, in the name of love, power over your own moods. You allow the others' energy to enter your inner world and cause inside you frustration, bad moods, irritation, sorrow and a mental and emotional dependence where you are constantly thinking about where they are, what they have to do, what they have to say, where they have to go, and all this consumes a lot of your mental energy. Wanting to control the other and the frustration that it brings with it uses up a lot of emotional energy..........................................THEREFORE............................................
Never try to control other’s life e.g. some parents try to control their kids (life) even after their marriage and thus create lot of confusions. Instead of trying to change everyone, let us change ourselves to live a Happy Life as also allowing others.
