Happiness and Sadness.....

What make us sad or worried? We have enough reasons to be sad or worried. As we look into ourselves physically or towards our life, we will always find reasons for our grievances. Most of us  are never satisfied with we have or what we are(physically, monetarily or socially ). But what is happening in real? Are we looking at ourselves in a positive way or we are comparing ourselves with others?
Certainly, we are not looking at ourselves in a motivating way. Yes, we are comparing ourselves with others  and finding what we don't have in comparison with others. There lies the real unsatisfied mind and our worries.
For instance, if we would had only one hand since our birth, we would have been really sad or worried about it the life.( Of course there are so many inspiring people, who over came their physical disabilities ). So, what if, all the humans were one handed ? Then it would had never a reason for our sadness. We surely would have accepted that.
So, there is no point in wasting our time and energy for thinking what we don't have or what we miss , compared to others. If we are looking for happiness and satisfaction, then understand it is a state of mind that we agree upon. It is an attitude.

Tantra- A misrepresented fact

'Tantra' the most misrepresented and misused word. What is Tantra? It is an universal science, which is the part of vedas, that deals with the transition of human nature from the present level of evolution and understanding to a transcendental level of knowledge. There are 64 tantric texts. The word Tantra is derived from the combination of two words, "tanoti" which means to expand and "trayate" means to liberate. Tantra put forward a concept and discipline which enables the follower to perceive the world without any perception. It has a set of rules for ritual worships, discipline and meditation techniques for the attainment of supernatural powers. People used to and still connect Sex with Tantra.Often, the term Tantra was misused for their personal benefits by exploiting the ignorant world. Certainly, Tantra is considering sex, but at the same time, it won't make you the slave of your desire but it helps to master it. It refers, that the sexual energy can be used for the transcendental purpose. "Maithuna" fusion of male and female energies is of the five 'makaras ' dealt in Tantric philosophy (Makaras- actions or sadanas starts with the M sound).So next time when you come across the sound Tantra, remember it has to be something that expands your awareness and liberate your consciousness from the clutches of your own ego........
