Mental Flexibility

Selfless, engrossing activities, not driven by results, like reading and understanding a technical paper, meditation, contemplating on the divine are some of the ways to retain the mental flexibility that we are born with. - Vishnu Pendyala

Self-modificaiton

Nature, particularly human nature is subtle and very deeply rooted. Thoughts, and to a better extent, actions and punishments can only give a direction to the introspection and correction process. Like in research, one has to dig very deep, for a long time into his inner self to change oneself. - Vishnu Pendyala

ఉగాది శుభాకాంక్షలు!

New beginnings are what we all live for, even if we have to dedicate the new innings to our adversaries!
మీకు మీ ఇంటిల్లిపాదికి శ్రీ విరోధి నామ చంద్రమాన సంవత్సరాది శుభాకాంక్షలు!
Hope we'll be able to focus, identify and ward off all our adversaries this year, in preparation for a glorious future!

A Solution to the Inhibiting Mind

The mind, like an ideal mother's love is excessively caring and inhibiting. Only when it is devoted to work, God, or something that is not self, can our true potential be discovered and used. - Vishnu Pendyala

Tools for Self Control

"Time-awareness, constant observation of the inner self, and goal-oriented thinking are good tools to control the self." - Vishnu Pendyala

The Elusive Mind goes after the Elusive

It's human nature to go after the elusive. The fortunate ones who discover the ultimate joy of this characteristic will finally and correctly go after the supreme elusive concept called God, instead of the ephemeral oases of the world. - Vishnu Pendyala

Spirituality Liberates

"Spirituality is a cure to suffering."- Vishnu Pendyala

All Religions are for All

"No individual or group owns any religion. All good concepts belong to all humanity, after due credit is given to the originator." - Vishnu Pendyala

It's all a Merry-go-round

"Everything happens in cycles. Matter becomes energy and energy becomes matter. Nothing is lost, or gained. But when night takes day's place, bad laws take good ones', for instance, or death takes life's place, we all know that a cycle has ended... forever". - Vishnu Pendyala

Happiness is embodied in Spirituality

It is not spirituality if its experience does no tmake you happy" - Vishnu Pendyala

Cleansing

"A government must be clean to cleanse its citizens. An unclean system could further smear a person stuck in it, let alone cleanse." - Vishnu Pendyala

Realizing God Every Day

"Courage is seeing God in self and benevolence is seeing God in others." - Vishnu Pendyala
