Vedanta - Now, Make a Difference

PULKIT SHARMA





There are people struggling to sort out their inner world for a meaningful life, while others are trying to hold together a damaged relationship, or are trying to raise consciousness in society , change the political system, save our planet and create universal brotherhood.The journey is daunting and often people give up.The argument that's given usually is that one is too small to bring a change. But no one is too small and no problem is beyond them. The thing is that our attention is rarely focused as we wish to multitask owing to our greed, restlessness and sensory needs.
We get distracted by past experiences or fantasise about the future. So, we end up wasting a lot of time, feel fatigued and frustrated. Attention can go in both positive and negative directions; this power must be utilised in the right manner to achieve the best.
Based on our limited knowledge, we conclude that thoughts are simple mental phenomena with little consequence.Some people constantly see negative things as they have depressive tendencies and find it hard to be hopeful; others do it out of fear so that they can avoid or master their anxieties. Still others are consumed by rage and envy .
Under all circumstances, one must cultivate a positive attitude with a definite aim. Since we carry infinite Reality within us, we need to remember at all times and under all circumstances that we are not small; we have great potential.If we have the will, we can make a difference.
