Very Lovely article by Sr Sri Ravi Shankar that came in the DNA

Mechanics of action Sri Sri Ravi Shankar The dynamics of how events happen is a big mystery. Only one who is 100% in doing can recognise the happening. The healthiest way to apply this knowledge is to see the whole past as happening and the present as doing.

If you see the past as doing, then ego and regret come along.

And when you see the present as happening, laziness and unawareness set in.

Let the happening be for the past and the doing for the present.

And the future is a mix of both.

The wise will see the doing in happening and the happening in doing simultaneously.

One who does a lot of work will never say he
did a lot.

If someone says he did a lot of work, it that
means he can do more.

He has not done enough.

Work does not tire you as much as the
"doership" does.

All actions happen through consciousness.

The world moves because of consciousness. Consciousness expresses the three shaktis as — gyan shakti, ichcha shakti and kriya shakti. Knowledge, action and desire.

If these shaktis are aligned, life becomes very smooth. If not, life is in doldrums.

Ichcha shakti is desire, gyana shakti is the power of knowledge and kriya shakti is the power to act.

Some people have lots of kriya shakti, but lack gyana shakti. They have the power to act, but there is no knowledge of what to do.

When this happens, people become restless.

There are people who are not so active - lack of kriya shakti. Such people will simply sit quiet but their minds will go on working.

Then there are people who lack ichcha shakti. They lack the desire to complete the action and their minds keep changing. Lethargy is manifestation of lack of ichcha shakti.

A perfect balance of these shaktis is very rare. Desire, awareness of the Self and action all are manifestation of the same energy that is you.

One of these three dominates at a time.
When desire dominates, awareness of the
Self will be at its lowest.

That's why all the philosophers around the world have always advocated renunciation and dropping of desires.

When you are in a state of awareness, happiness dawns and when desire dominates, stress and sorrow take over. www.artofliving.org

How to Cultivate Positive Energy to Power up our Lives

Hi Pankaj,

It's all about energy. Our life, our success, our happiness... everything is all about energy.

We're all made of energy... tiny molecules vibrating at a certain frequency... this
vibrating energy makes up our existence.

Everything is made of energy... and it's that same energy that we constantly
direct that attracts everything into our life.

Now there are different kinds of energy... or different levels... and that's what makes
everything so interesting.

Positive energy attracts positive situation.

Negative energy attracts negative situations.

Positive energy repels negative situations.

And negative energy repels positive situations.

If you're negative you'll attract more negative people, and more negative situations.
You'll also push away positive people and positive situations.

If you're positive you'll attract positive people and positive situations.
You'll also push away negative people and negative situations.

So if you're not getting what you want - then you're likely not sending out the right energy.

You see other people pick up on your energy vibrations on a subconscious level.
They don't really know it - they just get a sense about you - a feeling or a vibe
about you. They don't consciously say:
"This is someone positive, lets get to know him or her."

It all happens on a subconscious level.

But it starts in the conscious mind.
Your thoughts, and beliefs shape your energy level... they create that vibrating energy.

Your thoughts and beliefs are sent to your subconscious mind which radiates
your energy level (the very energy that others pick up on).

Positive thoughts and positive beliefs create positive energy.

Those with positive energy attract positive situations, good things happen to them,
they meet terrific people and enjoy life.
As they continue doing this they naturally become more optimistic.
They take positive actions, and they continue to attract more and more positive
situations, people and events into their lives.

If your filled with negative thoughts, self-doubt, worry, uncertainty, and if you
generally feel that things will never work out or get better then you're sending out
the energy that will only attract more of what you don't want... or more worry,
self-doubt, and uncertainty... all of  which will only cause you to feel that
things will never work out.

It's a vicious cycle and if it isn't broken will only lead to more and more negative situations.

So how do you change your energy?
How do you create positive energy so that you enjoy positive situations?

Think about what you want and then write down your immediate thoughts and beliefs.
See if they're positive or negative.
If there's any self doubt, or any negative thought - then you probably have a negative
belief tied to the thought.

Both need to be changed ASAP.

Then track your thoughts throughout the week.
Are they generally negative or positive.
Change as many negative thoughts as you can.

You won't be able to change all of them, just change as many as you can.

You should also track what you say to people in every day conversations.

You might be surprised at what you discover.

If you find yourself saying negative things - change those words.

This is part of the process.

To change your energy send a new message to your subconscious mind.
Create positive thoughts and positive beliefs.
Begin developing positive energy.
