Guiding Light: The Goalposts Are Shifting (opens the original)
Read excerpt
To achieve anything in the world, whether it is a pleasure or a material object, five things are needed. The first is effort. The second is energy. The third is skill.

Guiding Light: In A World Of Misery Stay Afloat With This Life Jacket (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The nature of the mind is such that it wavers. Joy is only there when the mind is stable. With knowledge and dispassion, the mind becomes stable. Saraswati, the goddess of wisdom, is depicted sitting on a rock or on a white lotus. Knowledge is always rock solid. It isn’t tensile.

Guiding Light: Can You Really Control The Mind? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Nothing in the world can bother you as much as your own mind. It seems that others are the cause of your botheration, but in fact, it is just your own mind. Realizing this is wisdom. The mind is influenced by five things: food, time, company, wisdom and place. Food has a direct impact on the mind. If you eat at the wrong time, if your food is not digested properly, or if it is not wholesome, it affects the way you feel and think. Time also has an influence. The movement of the planets and stars
