Why is your mind restless ?


You will see trains coming and going while sitting on a bench at a railway station. There will be sellers of goods at the station. If someone's train is about to depart, they will run as fast as possible towards the platform. The person who came to receive someone at the station will look at every face to find that person.  

If someone is traveling without a ticket, he must be hiding his eyes in an attempt to escape. Similarly, someone will also be on vacation for the first time in a very long time, so he's very happy.
A person who has lost his loved one can also be seen. At this point, he must leave all work and go to his family to console them.
For a first-time train traveler, everything from the railway station to the tracks will be a matter of curiosity.

Now take a look at yourself and ask yourself, do any of these people make a difference in your sadness, your happiness, your despair, or your joy? You might be thinking that when no one knows me, then why should anyone care?

But the reality is that the world runs like this only. No one cares about the feeling going on inside you. 
Only you and only you will be affected by it because everyone passing by is already a victim of his own confusion. Everyone is struggling with the emotions going on inside themselves.

This bench is your mind. You are sitting on it and you are watching every person passing by because you are part of that platform like them.
See everything with your eyes, be a watcher! But don't worry about what is the reason for everyone to run, or else you will be restless even sitting on the comfortable bench, so be aware.

मन के मते न चलिये, मन के मते अनेक, 
जो मन पर असवार है, सो साधु कोई एक
Translation : Do not follow the advice of the mind, because the mind has many opinions. One who keeps this mind under himself, that sage is rare.

Keeping yourself comfortable on the bench is important. There will be people coming and going, and there is also a lot of activity. Believe me, if you order your mind to run after someone, you will find nothing but a distraction.

समय बड़ा बलवान | Time is stronger than anyone

आज कल एक ख़बर सुर्खियों में है । मुगल साम्राज्य के अंतिम शासक बहादुर शाह ज़फ़र की प्रपौत्र वधु (Great Grand Daughter in Law)  सुल्ताना बेगम जिन्होंने दावा किया है की वो मुगलों की वंशज हैं  ।  अब वो प्रसिद्ध लाल किले पर अपना हक़ दुबारा पाना चाहती हैं । लेकिन आज कल वो बहुत ही दयनीय स्थिति में कोलकाता की एक मज़दूर बस्ती में रहती हैं ।  मुग़ल शासन जब अपने चरम पर था तब पूरी दुनिया में कम से कम एक चौथाई हिस्सों पर मुगलों का राज़ था । भारत पर भी बहुत लंबे समय तक  हुकूमत करने वाले मुग़ल साम्राज्य के वंशजों का ये हाल होगा कभी किसी ने सोचा नहीं होगा ।   एक वक्त देश में ऐसा भी था जब मुगलों के खौफ़ से लोग सहमे हुए रहते थे । बहुत बड़ा रक्तरंजित इतिहास इस देश की मिट्टी में दफ़न है, जहां कई वीरों ने इनके जुल्म के खिलाफ़ आवाज बुलंद करके वीरता का परिचय दिया ।  इतिहास बताता है की इसी ज़ुल्म-ओ-सितम के चलते अनगिनत उद्वस्त हुए परिवारों ने इन्हें श्राप दिया था कि तुम्हारा नाम-ओ-निशान मिट जायेगा और एक दिन कोई तुम्हें पूछने वाला भी नहीं होगा ।  दुर्बल को न सताइये, जाकी मोटी हाय |  मरी खाल की सांस से, लोह भसम ह

Don't Make Opinions | अनावश्यक राय ना बनाएँ

संकीर्ण मानसिकता के लोगों की आदत होती है वो दूसरों को देखकर तुरंत उनके बारे में राय बना लेते हैं  |  हो सकता है वो हमारी सोच से कई गुना बेहतर इंसान हो या हमारे मन में बनाई हुई छबि से काफी विपरीत हो  | चाय की प्याली को सिर्फ देखकर कोई नहीं बता सकता  उसमें शक्कर मिली हुई है या फीकी है | सिर्फ उसे पीनेवाला तुरंत बता सकता है उसका स्वाद कैसा है |  जो भावनाएं हम दूसरों के लिए रखते हैं, हो सकता है  दुनिया भी हमें उसी नजरिए से देख रही हो | People with narrow minds have a habit of seeing others and forming an opinion about them immediately. Maybe he is a much better person than we think or is quite the opposite of the image we have in mind. One cannot tell by looking at a cup of tea whether it has sugar or not. The taste can only be detected by the drinker. The feelings we have for others, the world may be looking at us from the same perspective Avinash Jaiswar

"Unleashing the Warrior Within: Finding Courage Amidst Life's Challenges"

Dear reader friend, If you're reading this now and I might not know you... This letter is for all my friends who have seen many ups and downs this year. Many times you must have felt that you have lost courage, you are unable to do anything and must be thinking what kind of life is this? But you would have gotten up with a broken spirit and started living again. Believe me you are much better than the countless people who give up on life. There are people who never get up again and never face difficulties in life with courage. There is a warrior inside you who will not let you down. You are not an ordinary person. You are not fighting this battle alone. A few days ago I saw a small child selling some goods. I stopped him and asked him, how do you do so much difficult work at such a young age? He replied, 'Sir, no matter what, it is life itself that gets everything done. Although he was a child in age, he was a mighty warrior. In spite of difficulties in life, he bel
