Breaking Shackle

In a capitalist society, you are likely to be judged by your contributions and the efforts that you put in to break the bread or let’s say, to get the wheel moving to making a living. Either way, you ought to get physically involved in order to accomplish a certain task. But the real question that we should be asking ourselves is whether we really get engrossed with passion in whatever we choose to do? We often cite lame reasons to actually delay or procrastinate on our day-to-day tasks, which in turn leads to disorganisation and we end up being inconsistent most of time. Not to mention, today’s generation has resorted to leaving things to the last minute, whether it be, preparing for exams, doing projects, meeting the office deadline, whatever it is, we leave it to the last minute. However, that doesn’t always do justice to our achievements per se. Of course, nobody can be held accountable expect for "us", as far as procrastination is concerned. I’m certain that t...

Similarly we have to acquire tools like meditation or any mental or physical exercise which helps you attain focus, or even maintaining a journal in order to k...

In today’s day and age, we are mostly occupied with things that has no significance in spiritual development, such as meeting the office deadlines, whether it be children heading to schools, or people doing jobs that they hate just to make a living, I categorise all these under a modern day rat-race that we all have got accustomed to .
