the agitated mind

swamiji said today that an agitated mind and an overworked body makes people say things they wont normally say. he said we have to look within ourselves everytime we fumble or do something we should not have done or putting it simply...get angry! swamiji says go back within yourself and introspect.
thats what swamiji says and i know he is right. of course he is right. how much i can go within myself is something else. i am trying, i am trying...
going within a.k.a. meditation(the new buzz word) is as old as age itself. yet we find it so difficult to sit still, go within our minds and watch the movie within ourselves. we have a meditation session in our centre every sunday morning for fifteen minutes. all of us have definitely graduated from where we were before. i know i have!

Dear Smileymenon,

An agitated mind produces many reactions and anger falls under that list. I often ask myself, why do I get angry? I guess because at that point, I don’t know what else to do! That almost justifies my verbal diarrhoea moments, right? Just kidding….Getting angry is not a desirable option. If only I can remember this at all times. But to have this constant remembrance, it must become a part of me. How? Your Gurudev says go within and introspect..... makes perfect sense and definitely worth a try:)

Warm Regards
