“Simple thinking leads us to Higher Living.”

"To bring a sense of purpose and better quality into our lives we must look at the nature and working of our very mind itself. The mind is meant to absorb information, transform it into knowledge and lead it into action." Since the air is simple in its characteristics we are able to breath-in and breath-out effortlessly. Imagine if the air has some complex nature and our lungs would not be able to handle it? Then every breath we take would require great effort.

"A hard mind offers immense resistance to previously absorbed information that prevents the flow of knowledge and action. We need simple steps to simplify this complex mind. Our mind must be as soft as a sponge for maximum absorption. Just as water can be easily absorbed by the sponge than oil and squeezed out, intense truth explained in a simple way are easily absorbed and assimilated faster for our own transformation. A soft mind easily absorbs information and allows free flow of knowledge into action."

you are so loaded with knowledge and information, that you are missing the wood for the trees. You are too busy crowing your intellect with high funda philosophy but have forgotten the basics. The need of the hour is to LIVE these simple truths. Stop verbalizing and start actualizing,

Our mind must be extremely pure to be able to perform the conversion from information to transformation efficiently. Whatever we read and understand from the article is information. When we absorb the importance of the message & try to implement them to reform, then it is transformation. Transformation happens only when we are humble enough to accept that I am not perfect & I want to be a better person.

We are definitely children. We should accept that as a fact, keep aside our ego, be humble, learn, reform & transform.

Ideas and inspiration flash freely in a pure mind to transform information to knowledge. Three basic steps can be followed: First, allow others the freedom to be as they are, without imposing your mindset of thoughts and ideas. Second, have faith and belief that. God is in you. Third, spend some time quietly everyday thinking about your inner. Self and chanting the name of God. This way our mind which seeks information can be changed into a mind meant for the transformation of our very life itself from human to Divine.

New information is like a new seed being planted. When planting, we look for fresh, soft soil so that the seed can be planted deep with ease and also the planted seed will receive the much needed sunlight with ease that will be absorbed with ease by a soft soil but a lot harder and longer through a hard soil. In order for the soil to be soft and subtle, we nurture it by pouring water from time to time. That way the soil will not become hard like a rock which slows down not only the sunlight reaching the base but also the shot from the seed to reach the surface.

The planted seed symbolizes absorbed information when germinated into an idea finds difficulty to shoot to the surface. This is when we use the expression “I know the answer; it is in me it just refuses to come out!” "A hard mind offers immense resistance to previously absorbed information that prevents the flow of knowledge and action" i.e. we need a soft mind that can be not only a good absorber of information but also a good radiator that creates pores for the information to radiate when we need it most.

That is why a student is requested to relax and be cool so that mind will be soft to release the right information during the given exam time.

I feel repetition is very essential, because every time we hear or read the same truth, a new meaning emerges, which had earlier eluded us.
