Many repeat the same mistake – and without care for their outer egoism, they try to throw everything away and bury themselves in spiritual pursuits. In this way their suffering becomes worse, because both sides are unsatisfied. Let me explain this in another way. What would a day be like, if you didn’t sleep well the night before? It is the same for your outer egoism. Care for the horse, and the rider will also be satisfied.
If your egoi... Continue reading ...

Once I had a possibility to watch a child running around in the park. He was barefoot on the grass. His grandfather was looking after him, and from time to time tried to warn the child to put his sandals on, because there could have been broken glass in the field. The child was ignoring his grandfather’s warnings, and continued running barefoot. A conflict between the two generations was clearly seen.
During his life, the grandfather had prob... Continue reading ...

Many interesting things happen when we don’t agree with another person’s opinion. We can see two possibilities in a conflict situation. The first – I am angry and despise my opponent. The second – I understand what a fool I am, and try to listen to his opinion closely. If you are practicing the first communication option, it looks like you are a loner with limited amount of friends. With the second option, you are welcome in any co... Continue reading ...

An idyllic picture. Two people meet, talk to each other, and separate in a friendly manner. You may say – what’s so special here? But I suggest that you look at this situation a bit closer. If you are unbiased and fair enough, you will notice an interesting thing. When talking to other person, we are actually talking to ourselves.

The biggest problem is that when we think we want something, it’s often difficult to differentiate which desires are ours, and which are imposed by society and our environment. It’s very hard to separate desires created by egoism.
Let’s talk about the main indicators of real desires. When a desire is real, the consciousness is full of a satisfaction that has no burning fire within itself. If you feel increased excitement, the desire has bee... Continue reading ...

When criticizing, you harm yourself!
Buddhism wisdom says – the lotus blossoms in the marsh. It means that only in facing obstacles do we have an ability to realize our potential. In this article, I would like to talk more about another human quality – being critical.

Concentration chains
I think that it’s the fault of the person. People have chosen the way of intellect as their main guiding process. We can see different stages of human development in history where we didn’t have any intellectual dictation. For instance, our intellectually created science still can’t explain how the Pyramids were built, how Jesus managed to walk on water, and many other things. But all these miracles are...

People are often in a constant rush, and are rarely satisfied with their current situation. Real moments of joy and blessings are usually postponed to the future or remembered from the past. Even present day achievements are valued and analyzed by comparing them to those of other people. This creates the feeling of being in a race – a race that has no end. In today’s modern world the ability to be the best or the strongest is preferre... Continue reading ...

The real meaning of karma
The concept of karma comes from India. In western countries, when something bad happens, it is joked about – that’s just karma! Or in other words – your destiny. The Sanskrit word “Karma” comes from the ancient Pali language word “Kamma”.
In direct translation, it means Action. We understand “Destiny” as a fate which we can’t change, but as I have mentioned, the ... Continue reading ...

Tension generates violence
Human way is hard enough, when consciousness is put in the shade with goals. While we haven’t achieved, we have a possibility. After achievement we also have a possibility. Achieving something, we shrivel up more and more. It pollutes our consciousness. Problems won't be solved if we will increase speed. Jumping to uncertainty requires us to throw off all our entity and knowledge. More than one sta... Continue reading ...
Being yielding is an advantage
Bowing to something is in one or other way mentioned by many
religions. One of well-known lessons tought by Christ says – “if someone

of being yielding is strained in our society. Being yielding actually
is not self-effacement or humility in the name of some profit in
uncertain kingdom of God. Devotees underst... Continue reading ...
