Modern!?

" The Only way out is within " is a lovely book by Rohini Sharma. She reiterates the point , earlier stated by a few gurus of Yoga that do not be curt to your emotions. Just let the thoughts flow. Be freind your thoughts and the mind will be your friend. How beautiful!? This is a beautiful manifestation of the human soul. This comes with a disclaimer. The gold cannot be moulded into an ornament until it passes through fires. Perhaps, that's why humans have discovered the various hymns which help us relieve the thoughts. If you notice, we cannot talk and think at the same time. So chanting helps us to be relieved of the stress while being able to control your thoughts. How Modern?

And given a chance human mind tends to go those incidents which makes them regret. Just like the water which always flows to the low. The use of such techniques of chants and praises of the almighty are merely tools to be able to empower ourselves.They are not the destination by themselves. The way out here when we are overwhelmed with negative thoughts : We can experience that, what we are going through is not pleasant. So, we need to realise that, we are just falling prey to various emotions which bind us to the never ending cycles of emotions. We need to look at the situation from the helicopter view then every thing looks small and soon we will realise its not worth happiness.

All said and done. Being there is not easy.
