The Beautiful Tale of Two States
It's interesting how with a little attention to our breath and a smile on our faces, we are more calm and present. I recently came across a TED Talk which describes that fundamentally every one of us lives only in two states.
- No-Stress or Beautiful State
- Stressful State
. 
Behind every choice and every action is the driving force of only these two states. Sadly, our education, the entire system of our society, our parents, and our religion do not bring sufficient attention to our inner state.
The very structure of education at school makes us - compete
- feel jealous of another's progress
- feel ashamed of being less
A total compromise on the essence of being human.
We need a greater inner power to get us to a beautiful state. And that is the way of inner truth.
This truth can be inconvenient for us. All emotional suffering arises from obsessive self-centric thinking. We are pre-occupied with
- injustice done to us
- pleasure that was denied to us
- opportunities that did not come our way
- love that was withheld from us
In this state, we are not concerned with solutions to the problem at hand.
When we see this truth (that all lingering and suffering is a total preoccupation with oneself): Not only do we walk out of stressful states, but there is a great release of energy and you awaken to a sense of power, connection, freedom and purpose.
The questions to ask ourselves time and again is Are You
- engaged with your past?
- engaged with your future?
- in the present?
- preoccupied with yourself?
(OR)
Are You in a state of connection?
How to end stress, unhappiness and anxiety to live in a beautiful state!!
