Religion is the manifestation of the divinity already in man.

Try to be pure and unselfish - that is the whole of religion.

I do not believe in a God or religion which cannot wipe the widow's tears or bring a piece of bread to the orphan's mouth.

<ul><li>Be moral.</li><li>Be brave.</li><li>Be a heart-whole man.</li><li>Strictly moral, brave unto desperation.</li><li>Don't bother your head with religious theories.</li><li>Cowards only sin, brave men never, no, not even in mind.</li><li>Try to love anybody and everybody. Be a man.</li></ul>

Be brave, be steady, be patient.

Love and charity for the whole human race, that is the test of true religiousness.

Are you unselfish? That is the question. If you are, you will be perfect without reading a single religious book, without going into a single church or temple.

The best guide in life is strength. In religion, as in all other matters, discard everything that weakens you, have nothing to do with it.

<ul><li>Never quarrel about religion.</li><li>All quarrels and disputation concerning religion simply show that spirituality is not present.</li><li>Religious quarrels are always over the husks.</li><li>When purity, when spirituality goes, leaving the soul dry, quarrels begin, and not before.</li></ul>

Never quarrel about religion. 

<ul><li>I look upon religion as the innermost core of education... Mind, I do not mean my own, or anyone else's opinion about religion.</li><li>I think the teacher should take the pupil's starting-point in this, as in other respects, and enable him(her) to develop along his(her) own line of least resistance.</li></ul>

Science is the modern religion.

Religion and culture transform each other. Religion and God cannot be learnt from universities, it can only be experience under great requirements and power. To find your own religiosity is the goal of any education.

Problem Solving

True Religion by Vivekananda

When the future seems largely unpredictable, is there anything you can do to prepare for it?All you need to do is to tap into your imagination and envision all your potential futures - using "futures thinking."Futures thinking is an incredibly useful, practical tool to prepare your mind to adapt faster to new challenges, build hope and resilience, reduce anxiety and depression, and inspire you to take actions today that set yourself up for future happiness and success.Make intentional choices about what you want to imagine in your future - you have to fill in the blanks.

Mental Time Travel

“Episodic future thinking” or EFT is often described as “mental time travel” — your brain is working to help you see and feel the future as clearly and vividly as if you were already there.If you’re having difficulty imagining life 10 years from now, write down a description of what you imagine. It can be easier to think about the future with words rather than with mental images.

Episodic Future Thinking: Imagine

There are three major kinds of sense-making that happen when you engage in mental time travel to your future:<ul><li> First, your brain has to do what cognitive scientists call “scene construction” — mentally building the future world. </li><li>After scene construction, your brain starts to do what cognitive scientists call “opportunity detection.” Here, you look for ways to fulfil your needs and achieve your goals.</li><li>Finally, as your brain works to transport you to the future, feelings will kick in.</li></ul>

Making Sense

You’ve never been 10 years older than you are now, so your brain doesn’t know what to expect if you try to imagine. Plus, there’s so much opportunity for things to change in a decade — your body, relationships, life circumstances, physical environment.Your brain intuitively grasps this unknowability, so instead of confidently projecting one possibility, it opens up a blank space for you to consider multiple possibilities. You have to start making intentional choices about what you want to imagine in your future — you have to fill in the blanks.

The 10 Year Challenge

Crucially, these are real feelings. Studies show that the emotions you experience during EFT can be just as psychologically powerful as emotions experienced in the present. This is one reason why many of us prefer to imagine best-case-scenario futures and avoid imagining the futures that scare us.But there are real benefits to intentionally and carefully imagining futures that frighten you. This can help you do the important work of getting ready for anything — even things you’d rather not think about, let alone actually experience, someday.

The Punchline: Those Feelings Are Real

Wouldn't you love to know what's going to happen to you in the future? Here's one way to do just that, from futurist and game designer Jane McGonigal.

Mental time travel is a great decision-making tool — this is how to use it

The student did not want to face fear, but it was nonetheless time to do so. He approached, and asked permission to combat Fear, who garnered the student’s respect with its size & might.

The Battle

Fear, in acknowledgement of the student’s respectfulness & humility, answered him outright, “My weapons are that I talk fast & get close to your face. Then you get unnerved, and do whatever I say.”

Fear’s Weapons  

Fear continued: “You can listen to me, you can have respect for me, & you can even be convinced by me— but if you do not do what I say, I have no power.” In that way, the student learned how to overcome Fear.

LIFE WITHOUT FEAR - a buddhist story about fear

Daily life with Borderline Personality Disrorder is really an act of resisting and letting go. Many of us struggle alone or with few friends. We may tend to withdraw and feel safer alone or with someone close because we are hypersensitive.It's a struggle that is very overwhelming all too often because the urges to act out, etc are very strong. However, understanding that we can fight back and slowly regain control can be empowering and bring much needed hope.

Living With BPD 

Every day, we have to resist <ul><li>engaging in self-destructive behavior </li><li>not contacting people that negatively impact our mental health</li><li>resisting the urge to not obsess over someone</li><li>resisting urges to make bad decisions in general</li></ul>

What We Resist

In order to resist, we also need to learn to let go.<ul><li>let go of thoughts that are not beneficial to us and that may lead to bad decisions</li><li>let go of limiting beliefs</li><li>let go of painful things through therapy, by reading about it and through auto-analysis</li><li>trying to let go of self-soothing in unhealthy ways</li></ul>

What We Let Go

<ul><li>DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) is the best approach to our struggle.</li><li>Slowly reinforcing and not reinforcing habits, negative thoughts, obsessive thoughts.</li><li>Learning to redirect our attention to our breath when our thoughts do not serve us (addiction triggers that may lead to relapse, obsessive thoughts, etc). Redirect our attention to something else, more productive or pleasurable.</li><li>Taking your time to cool down to reply to people in order to no act out</li><li>Understanding that you should just turn your back and leave in many situations</li><li>Learning to pick your battles and preserve your energy</li></ul>

What We Can Do

Your thoughts are not you. They lie to us often. We must learn to let go of thoughts that are detrimental to us.Trauma left deep and open wounds that manifest in our thoughts and in other ways. But we are, above all, conscience and we can cultivate healthier thoughts, including negative self-talk. Don't be harsh to yourself. Treat yourself as a friend would.

Our Thoughts

How Borderline Personality Disorder is an act of resisting and letting go and a few ways to cope.

So much of my daily life, as someone with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), is resisting and letting go. RESISTING Resisting the urge to message someone that wasn't good for me, resisting the urge to overreact, resisting the urge to engage in self-destructive behavior (even if it's cigarette smoking, chainsmoking is awful), resisting the urge to…

Living With BPD As An Act Of Resisting And Letting Go

Ikigai is the intersection between what you are passionate about, where your skills lie, how you can earn a living and what the world needs.

Ikigai is where your reason for living meets your life goal

Once you find it, wether as a job or a hobby, you should not give it up as Ikigai is also the key to longevity as people from Okinawa show. Indeed an active mind and low stress are the key to a long life. To keep your mind active engage in social life, go outside and do mind games. This will avoid you get stuck in patterns and routines that promote your brain to slow down.

Everyone has an Ikigai that they were born to fulfill

“We have to learn how to turn off the autopilot that’s steering us in an endless loop.”

No Autopilot

In Morita therapy, patients are asked to pay attention to and accept their feelings, without attempting to change them. From there, they take particular actions to create new emotions, which gradually replace the old ones. <ol><li>First there is a week of complete rest and disconnect from media.</li><li>Second, the patient begins to integrate repetitive activities into her daily routine. </li><li>Third, these activities become more physical and creative producing a new set of emotions.</li><li>Finally, the patient is ready for stage four: reentering the world with a newfound sense of calm and purpose</li></ol>

Morita Therapy 

Flow is experienced when enjoyment and concentration are so deep they bloc out all other concerns – even time itself. Seeking out flow activities will increase your enjoyment of life and, therefore, your longevity. That’s why you should prioritize flow experiences over hedonistic ones like overeating, substance abuse or media entertainment. Ideally, your ikigai – your main life occupation – will regularly produce a state of flow, but if it doesn’t, be sure your hobbies do. Calibrating the level of difficulty is essential for flow.

Remain Young by immersing yourself in an activity 

Enjoy and cultivate your friendships, chat with your neighbors, enjoy quiet pursuits in the early morning, enjoy what you have

Friendships, gratefulness, early mornings and Garden vegetables

Movement is Crucial for a Long Life

Ikigai

And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.

When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.

﻿Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of the search is a second's encounter with God and with eternity.

No matter what he does, every person on earth plays a central role in the history of the world. And normally he doesn't know it.

This is what we call love. When you are loved, you can do anything in creation. When you are loved, there's no need at all to understand what's happening, because everything happens within you.

We are travelers on a cosmic journey,stardust,swirling and dancing in the eddies and whirlpools of infinity. Life is eternal. We have stopped for a moment to encounter each other, to meet, to love, to share.This is a precious moment. It is a little parenthesis in eternity.

Everything that happens once can never happen again. But everything that happens twice will surely happen a third time.

I don’t live in either my past or my future. I’m interested only in the present. If you can concentrate always on the present, you’ll be a happy man. Life will be a party for you, a grand festival, because life is the moment we’re living now.

When each day is the same as the next, it’s because people fail to recognize the good things that happen in their lives every day that the sun rises.

Your eyes show the strength of your

You will never be able to escape from your heart. So it's better to listen to what it has to say. That way, you'll never have to fear an unanticipated blow.

The Alchemist

Here is an esoteric Zen story about a Master who explains Buddha's teachings to a disciple in a unique and seemingly strange way.

These are Bamboos – A Zen Story

A man who heard about Buddha's life started longing to reach higher states within himself just like the Buddha did. He met many masters and enquired about the Buddha, but he was not satisfied with their explanations. Then one person told him that there was a master living on the peak of certain mountain and that he knew everything about the Buddha. “Go ask him,” the person told him.

The Story (1)

So the man trekked up the difficult mountain path, finally reached the master's hut and entered. He noticed there were many disciples there already. The master was talking to his many disciples. When he saw this man, the master asked him to come closer and asked him, "What do you want?" The man said, "I am wandering in search of the Buddha's teachings. I have met many scholars, but nobody could fully answer my questions. I heard that you will be able to explain this better than all the others so I came to you."

The Story (2)

"Oh! Please be seated. I will tell you after all of them leave," said the Zen master. The man was satisfied. He concluded that this master must be really good for so many disciples to gather around him. The master spoke with each of his disciples and then sent them on their way. Finally, he came to the man and said, "Come with me!" He led the man across the slopes. After covering a certain distance, they came upon some vegetation before them. The master pointed to it and asked, "What is this?" The man replied, "Bamboo."

The Story (3)

The master then pointed to other bamboo shoots that were off to the side and asked, "When you look at these, what do you see?" The man said, "That bamboo is tall. This bamboo has not yet grown up and is short." The master said, "These are bamboos!" and started walking back to his hut.

The Story (4)

The conclusions people draw from their five senses are predominantly in comparison with something else. <ul><li><a href="https://isha.sadhguru.org/wisdom/article/when-okay-to-compare-to-others">Comparison </a>is only needed to conduct our affairs in day-to-day life. </li><li> Seeing things in comparison like this is not true <a href="https://isha.sadhguru.org/wisdom/article/a-perception-beyond-the-physical">perception </a>. </li></ul>

Interpretation Of The Story

If you want to perceive life in its true dimension, you must stop comparing and making conclusions that this is high or low, tall or short, beautiful or ugly.

If you touch something that is cold, it just means that your body is hot.

Whether it is Buddha's teaching or the basics of Yoga, it is just about perceiving life the way it is. For this to happen, you have to move beyond what is recorded by the five senses.

We have created this world with our thoughts and now we are trying to find meaning in it.

We are asleep. Our life is a dream. But we wake up sometime, just enough to know that we are dreaming.

Consciousness

"Sometimes not everything that we want will happen, but that doesn't mean we have to give up"

One of the bad thoughts of humans is that when their goals or what they want are not achieved, they will think that they have failed. Even though it is not a failure. If we really think it's a failure then we must also really think that is the beginning of our success.

Bad Thoughts

When the that thing we want is not achieved or we are facing a failure, sometimes we get confused and become more overthinking then in the end we will give up. If we are experiencing something like that, it would be nice if we did a rest and think phase.Resting and Thinking Phase is a phase where we rest ourselves, mentally and mind from something bad that has happened or is happening but we still make plans for what we will do next. Or in other words we do refreshing but still think about the next step so that we don't think too much about the bad things in the problem.

Resting and Thinking Phase

In life we ​​have to make a lot of plans because if one plan doesn't come true, we can make other plans.For example, let's assume our plan is plan A, plan B, plan C. Then our first step is to do plan A but plan A is fails, because we have other plans so we can do plan B or the next plan.So what should we do if all our plans are fail?The answer is that we surrender all our plans to the God, it doesn't mean we give up, it's just that we keep fighting and trying but we trust whatever happens in the future to our God.

Plan A and Other Plans

Basically we have no reason to give up.Because actually we won't know what will happen in the future if we give up now. Let's think, do you know what will happen in your life tomorrow? Of course you don't know but if you think the bad things will happen tomorrow, trust me it's just your bad thoughts.We may fail today but it turns out that in the future we will get success.

Future

"Actually our life that we have to live is praying, learning and struggling. The problem of failing or succeeding is part of our destiny but God always has a good plan for humans."

It's just  simple ideas from me if we will face a failure :')
