\nThe world is made up of two categories of people: those who know how\nto be stress free and those who don\u2019t. Stressful people are those\nwho desire to control life. They like to mould life in the way they\nwish it to be. They are focused only on themselves. Those who are\nstress free are those who accept what life offers them without\ncomplaints. Their focus is about what they can do for others. They\nare clear that \u2018life is for others\u2019 is the context of their life.<\/p>\n\n\n
We are merely a\nbio-machine as long as we believe we are mind and body. The purpose\nof human life is to transcend the mind and ascend to a higher state\nof consciousness. In that state we are truly in the divinity that we\ndescended from. Until we reach that state of unity with what we truly\nare, we are in turmoil. Stress or tension can be identified as this\nturmoil, this confusion between our true nature and what we pretend,\nstruggle and strive to become.\n<\/p>\n\n\n
The reasons for\nstress in one person does not necessarily cause stress in another.\nSomeone said that the reverse of \u2018stressed\u2019 reads as \u2018desserts\u2019!\nNowadays, talking about stress and offering solutions that work\ntemporarily at best is a huge business. Rather than fixing what is\nwrong within, people try fighting or dissolving stress by\nmanipulating the field of outside circumstances. How long can you\nrun? From what will you run away?\n<\/p>\n\n\n
Stress becomes an\ninevitable part of life because we feel it is connected to the fast\nworld outside of us. We feel there can be no life without what we\nterm \u2018stress\u2019. The truth is, stress is just our own mind-body\u2019s\nresponse to what happens outside of us. It is not the disturbance\noutside that creates trouble, tension and stress. It is the\ndisturbance inside that does it.\n<\/p>\n\n\n
Stress can be\navoided by changing yourself. You can make yourself stress-proof.\nThis is very simple. Choose not to be affected by what happens\noutside you. This is not impractical. It is your conditioning that\ninfluences you to get affected by what happens to you through events\nthat are beyond your control. Nothing is inherently good or bad\nexcept what we judge them to be.\n<\/p>\n\n\n
Drop your judgment about yourself, about the people around you and about the situations. You will get freedom from stress. You experience stress when you flow against the current, not when you flow with it. You lose yourself when you flow with the current. It helps you reach the restful mind state from which you can witness events around you without getting stressed out by them. You really have nothing to lose by trying, except your stress! <\/p>\n\n\n
Be stress-free! Be Blissful!<\/p>\n\n\n
