The Ripples
 
A man was sitting by a lake. He was throwing small pebbles into it from time to time. A young boy happened to cross by. He was intrigued to see that after every few minutes or so, the man would toss a pebble into the lake.
 
The boy went up to the man and said, "Good pastime, this stone throwing, he?" "Hmmm," said the man. He seemed to be deep in thought and obviously did not wish to be disturbed.
 
Sometime later, the man said softly, "Look at the water, it is absolutely still."
 
The boy said, "Yeah, it is."
 
The man tossed a pebble into the water and continued, "Only till I toss a pebble into it now do you see the ripples?"
 
"Yeah," said the boy, "they spread further and further."
 
"And soon, the water is still again," offered the man.
 
The boy said, "Sure, it becomes quiet, after a while."
 
The man continued, "What if we want to stop the ripples? The root cause of the ripples is the stone. Let's take the stone out. Go ahead and look for it." The boy put his hand into the water and tried to take the stone out.
 
But he only succeeded in making more ripples. He was able to take the stone out, but the number of ripples that were made in the process were a lot more than before.
 
The wise man said, "It is not possible to stop the movement of the water once a pebble has been thrown into it. But if we can stop ourselves from throwing the pebble in the first place, the ripples can be avoided altogether! 
So too, it is with our minds. If a thought enters into it, it creates ripples. The only way to save the mind from getting disturbed is to block and ban the entry of every superfluous thought that could be a potential cause for disturbance. If a disturbance has entered into the mind, it will take its own time to die down. Too many conflicting thoughts just cause more and more disturbances. Once the disturbance has been caused it takes time to ebb out. Even trying to forcibly remove the thought may further increase the turmoil in the mind. Time surely is a great healer, but prevention is always better than cure."
 
Before you allow a thought or a piece of information to enter your mind, put it through the triple filter test of authenticity, goodness and value.

Why Are we Overeating?

Why Are we Overeating?

The basis of compulsive eating is emotional and people really need to learn to listen to their hungers. It’s important for them to eat when they’re hungry, to stop when they’ve had enough, and to deal with the emotional conflicts they express by eating.

Although most of us are afraid that if we don’t have a step-by-step program to tell us what, when, and how much to eat, we will never make any changes, the most important element in change is self-trust. The willingness to listen to the voice that wants to care for us, not destroy us.

If you have been following programs that tell you what and how much to eat, it may be overwhelming to be told that if you listen to your body, it will guide you in making healthy choices. The Eating Guidelines are just that — guidelines, not rules with which to punish yourself — they are suggestions that can be useful when making a commitment to be conscious when you eat.

Eating Guidelines

1. Eat when you are hungry.
2. Eat sitting down in a calm environment. This does not include the car.
3. Eat without distractions. Distractions include radio, television, newspapers, books, intense or anxiety-producing conversations, and music.
4. Eat only what you want.
5. Eat until you are satisfied.
6. Eat (with the intention of being) in full view of others.
7. Eat with enjoyment, pleasure, and gusto.

Beating Stress With Nutrition

Beating Stress With Nutrition

For most of us, stress and food go hand-in-hand. Food can give us the feelings of power, control and satisfaction that we need in stressful situations. It’s no surprise that when our stress levels go up our resistance to ‘comfort’ foods goes down.

This isn’t always a bad thing — our favorite foods actually can reduce our stress levels. But moderation is key.

Giving your body the nutrition it needs is a positive step you can take every day toward combating stress. With the correct nutrition, you are better prepared to face the challenges of the day.

Adrenaline is produced during times of intense stress. That gives you a burst of energy, but your blood-sugar level drops after the crisis is past. Sustaining food is needed to replenish it. Certain foods increase the physical stress on your body by making digestion more difficult, or by denying the brain essential nutrients. Stress itself can cause bad digestion. Drinks can have just as great an effect — caffeine and alcohol both put a considerable strain on the body.

With a sensible diet it’s possible to reduce the effects of stress, avoid some common problems, and protect your health.

    Alok Tholiya I can do that as I normally do not get triggered due to external factors but when I want to ( Thanks to Osho) . But those who get angry and violent are in the short madness and can not follow above dictum as they r not in senses and r controlled by their suppressed emotions which can be moh.maya , rag , dvesh etc . Those full of frustration can not . First they have to understand that not many things/ situations/ people r in our control. Then they have to understand that it is not with in them to change situation, things,people. And finally they have to criticize themselves for doing sinful act as anger. But normally all sinful people justify their acts and as also anger. If one justifies his anger then he can never control anger and one day ir will backfire but no one can help such people.

Message thanked : 1 times 05 December 2011, 06:26  honey physical therapist    [ Scorecard : 22]    Thank the Contributor  Send PM thanks for the reply. but we tried a lot to take to a psychologist ,she does not go and her family threatens us that we are trying to make  their daughter mad. 05 December 2011, 08:32  Alok Tholiya self employed [edit] [edit photo]    [ Scorecard : 344] 1. If there r any irritants which u can remove then do so on priority. 2. If possible your own family must shift or make ur brothers family to shift and separate. 3. Only person who she trusts can convince her to go to mental heath experts.If any one with whom she is enimical tries then that will bounce back. 4. Make good friendship with her parents side someone. Win them. Slowly when they realize you mean and care for her well being they will cooperate. Presently they have heard her side and think u ( means ur side) r responsible for her sufferings and doubts will go on and they will never cooperate. 5. If she wants soem minor things which u 'll can afford then bet  it without asking. 6. Remeber and celebrate her B'day etc ( find otherways to create bonding). 7. Wish her family on imp. events / occassions and keep rapport. 8. Most often some people do not change much ( genetic defect ) and you have to increase your bearing capacity to save marriage life and save you from laws. 9. Time will come she will change...Keep good books, music, pravachan, cd's etc as good company.

My comment on face book on a quote :

Alok Tholiya Very good message. But one who is collecting stones in vault and throwing gems is sea is one who thinks it otherwise and that is why he does like that. Wo manas badlne ke liye Osho jaisa guru chaiye jo samjha sake ki hira kon sa hai and pathar kon sa. Menaing one needs a good teacher like Osho who can open your eyes of with in so that you can differentiate between stone and gems. Most of our life and acts we do this due to lack of enlightenment. One instance I can give here is which is prevelant in 99% of persons is paying attention to ibadat/ ritualism/ preying instead of being good. In our area there is a merchant who is working very hard to build a digambar jain temple ( I am a digamabr Jain). Recently I purchased two philips bulbs from this merchant. Both fused in few days. On close inspection I found that stamping of Philips vansihed from bulbs on just slight touch. So these r duplicates. What use is such temple if you have to do all wrongs and buiold one beautiful temole. Vinobaji who impressed me when I was in school said once Gai markar juta dan dena. Donating a pair of shoe after killinh a holy cow??? Does such donation welcome?? Is your god so foolish that he will accept such gestures behind which are all sins. But people are madly chasing such opportunity to please the god by hook or crook ( more so by being a crook). And they have strong belief that they r doing all this for good karmas. ???????? What an ignorance??? But in every move the ignorant does he thinks he is right and others are fools. Most people chase whole life which is mithya/ illusion and get pented / tired instead of living gracefully a happy contended life. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=2605429372550&set=a.2050241493200.2123341.1159369714&type=1&ref=nf http://www.facebook.com/atholiya http://www.facebook.com/
