Question 1 / 100

Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.

Like we pollute the earth, we pollute the water, we also pollute the subtle environment through our negative feelings and emotions. We have become a victim of our environment.

We are not in control of our mind. How to handle our mind? How to be in the present moment? How to be happy and grateful? This we have not learnt. This is the most unfortunate thing. Then what is the solution? This is where we miss a very fundamental principle that governs our environment, our mind, our emotions and our life in general. Our body has the capacity to sustain much longer, the vibration of bliss and peace than it does negative emotions because positivity is in the centre of our existence. Just like in the structure of atom, protons and neutrons are in the centre of the atom and electrons are only the periphery, same is with our lives; the centre core of our existence is bliss, positivity and joy but it is surrounded by a cloud of negative ions. Through the help of the breath we can easily get over our negative emotions in a short period of time.

This life has so much to offer to you. You can see this once you rejuvenating the soul. Your soul is hungry for a smile from you. take some time off,

Everyone wants to be successful in life. But without knowing what is success, you want to be successful. What is the sign of success? Because money gives you freedom so that you can do whatever you want. You may have a big bank balance, but, you have stomach aches, ulcers, you may have to go for the bypass surgery; can't eat this, can't do this, can't do that. Look at all those who claim to be successful-are they successful? No, they are miserable. Then, what is sign of success? It is confidence, compassion, generosity and a smile that none can snatch away, being really happy and being able to be more free. These are the signs of a successful person.

Take some time off to look a little deep into yourself and calm the mind down. Thus, erasing all the impressions that we are carrying in our minds and experience the presence, the divine that is very core of our existence.
