It is fabulous to have friends .It's invaluable to have family, spouses, children extended family..It is a privilege to have a bunch of good friends for they stand by your side in times of need and help. Eventually friends get old or follow their priorities or change their course ,and then we are left to ourselves to cope not only with the loss of familiar pillars of support but also getting into a limbo state when things don't interest us anymore. That is when we turn inwards but it's a little late. The inner self hasn't been engineered and tuned for times like these , for we have not known our own selves or even tried to know it. There is abandonment ,separation ,reclusiveness,lethargy and even the physical self develops cracks and disorders for which we take recourse to allopathy ayurveda or homeopathy. The problem is that we never invited ourselves to be our good friends. . The body was never attended to or understood or even listened to when it asked for attention it wasn't loved or cared for . Only when the discomfort arises we look at it and wonder what happened. When it cries for attention we take it seriously and sit up to listen to it.but all through never nurture the same. If only we had cultivated a personal rapport with our physical selves and maintained a balanced treatment without misusing or abusing the same, we could have reaped the benefits. We live in our bodies and ultimately our bodies give us either peace or pain and suffering . Getting attuned to its being,listening to its wants and needs can land us in a better place. . Our minds store more guilt fear and shame than peace and a sense of accomplishment and pride in ourselves. As a result of which we get loaded with anxiety burdening ourselves even further, thereby collapsing and breaking down. Introspection reflection become important to-do activities,especially in our younger years ,as the debris of negative thoughts gets flushed out. . Instead mindful thinking ,spontaneity ,interactive platforms give us a chance to air our feelings, and it works like oxygen. Our thoughts and psyche need abundant oxygen supply and freshness to energise it. Regrets ,hostility Vengeance and nursing anger is averse to the healthy functioning of the body and mind . If you love yourself leave them all behind . Release ..and breathe easy,even if a mountainous ego stands in your way .Nothing stays, no one remembers ,people are as willing to forgive and forget as you are , but ego poisons our intentions and cripples our mental and physical health. living simple is the most difficult thing . It involves a simple lifestyle,simple eating fuss free lifestyle , mindfulness, correct breathing, anger and envy management, and together it is a fetching proposition. Simplicity is not easy but a very difficult state to achieve . It believes in throwing away layers of hypocrisy and falsehood, surrendering all things that invite conflict activate grudges and nourishe egos. This means being selfless. It means to be just yourself ;training yourself to have an iron will and a stony resolve. If all this happens then I have found a true friend and thats is My own Self ;that I shall be living together with; in transcendental peace and harmony. How about you ?
