Thoughts and Senses are the Weapons of the Warriors that we are

Knowing how and when to withdraw thoughts and senses from this material world is more important than engaging them, just like it is important for an army general to know when and how to engage and disengage his troops. The Mahabharatha epic teaches us through Abhimanyu's war strategies that it could be fatal if one does not know how to withdraw, however mighty the person is. Vishnu Pendyala

Best State of Mind

The most gainful mind-set is internally the least agitative: anticipating, receptive, and surrendering. Most stable position of an object is that of least energy - on the ground. Vishnu Pendyala

The Ultimate Analytical Skill

The most needed analytical skill of detaching the thinker from the thought, the actor from the act, and the self from the selfish world is also the most difficult to acquire. Vishnu Pendyala
