Feeling angry all the time is extremely damaging to your mental health. You’re only giving away your power to someone else who made you feel angry and being angry at someone will not affect them at all. Life is too short to be angry at someone forever. Sometimes we have to let go of the things we have no control over.

Ravi Verma adds a practical Note: Remember who wronged you and give a befitting, cold blooded response, patiently wait for your time and then give it back, if everything is left to God, then what is the use of you, remember lord Krishna the orchestor of Mahabharata. Action is the Key.

?2.????“What you think you create, what you feel you attract, what you imagine you become.”

This has become the main rule in the modern spiritual community. Whatever the mind thinks, it becomes real. Your mind is the most powerful tool you have. Be mindful of how you think and feel. The mind can see your desires before you see them in the real world, as long as you believe in them and they will harden into a fact. Your thoughts are the results of who you have become today and the world is always a reflection of how you think and feel inside.

You’re manifesting all the time, but you’re unaware of it. It also means you have to purge out the negative emotions instead of holding them inside, so you can feel better. If you need to cry out, do it. I do it as well. You will feel much better after getting up again from feeling defeated. Just dust yourself off and try again. It’s truly healing.

The past is history and the future hasn’t happened yet. It’s better to hold dear to the memories and be excited about the

The only thing happening now is in the present moment and that’s all you will ever have. Life becomes so vibrant when you meditate at the moment.

Ravi Verma adds a practical Note: Learn from the past, take the lessons, bury the rest of it. Future is a Dream, Present is what we have, so live it to the hilt.

?5.????“There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting.”

?7.????“There isn’t enough darkness in all the world to snuff out the light of one little candle.”

It means no evil in this world can stop someone from being good by shining their light in this world.

The lies may run fast but the truth will slowly arrive and shine in a world of blinded people. The truth will never be oppressed by evil.
