Was talking to a friend. In the era of AI and Deep Learning by machines.. What does it take to learn and deal with the vagaries of life? What are those nuggets of wisdom? What does it take to steer the journey?

Four kinds of minds intensely seek for help.. A very troubled mind.. A seeker of felicity.. A very curious mind.. or An extreme seeker of knowledge. Chathur vidhaa bajante maam janah -Gita..

In the go-getter mode of life, it is that ‘desire’ and that ‘anger’ which is the seed of every suffering.. One gets clouded and blinded in this clasp of desire.. kaama esha krodha esha..

However, when there is an intense desire for surrender and peace, the needed knowledge and execution follows by itself..

Iccha Shakti, Gyaan Shakti and Kriya Shakti

Even a tiny bird has the knowledge of feeding its young one and the principles of detachment., knowing very well the little bird would leave home and not return this favor.

The senses and mind can create a storm. Be the captain of your ship. Like a lotus leaf, remain untouched by the muddy waters. Be level headed, agile and fight every moment with poise and serenity..

Even a tiny bit of this knowledge comes a long way.. Swalpam apyasya dharmasya.. traayate mahato bhayaat
