Be Yourself and Be Free

Don’t worry about getting somewhere, going somewhere or attaining to something. This worry and impatience is only the ego. Everything you have already attained is inside of you. You just have to qualify yourself in order to recognize this, your Self.

The moment you see the impatience that makes your mind run, not being peaceful, content, in the present moment, not appreciative of yourself, starting to run with competition, jealousy and envy, just stop it! Ask yourself, “What am I searching for?” Enquire again, What am I getting” Will it make me free, or not? And you see that it is an illusion you are running after.

You already are everything. This way of thinking and enquiring will bring you wisdom from within and another way of seeing things.

Have trust and faith that all is perfect. Just relax. Don’t worry. God’s plan will just unfold. Trust the process. Assert. “I AM.” Everything will work out the way it was meant to. Things will come and go; life will play itself out and fade out like a movie, if you do not buy into it. Remain in your Self. Enjoy the peace and silence of the inner Self. By Yoga Master Swami Sivananda.

Food  for Thought

A cheap person doesn’t consider the full ramifications of his consumptions and will consume things just because the price tag is low. A frugal person will consider whether he needs the item, rather than just purchasing it because it's cheap. So a good example is that if you eat at McDonalds, that’s cheap. If you make a home-cooked meal for your family and eat the left-overs the next day, that frugal. Farhad Manjoo, American author
