How to stop living by expectations thanks to Vedanta teachings Guest: Jayashankar Krishnamurthy, Vedanta Institute of Hyderabad, India. The philosophy of Vedanta offers valuable insights on how to avoid expectations and illusions in everyday life. In Vedanta, it is believed that our thoughts and actions are influenced by our past experiences, which can create expectations and illusions about the future. Pratipakṣa Bhavana is a practice that helps us overcome these tendencies and cultivate a more peaceful and balanced mental state. Pratipakṣa Bhavana consists of cultivating a thought or attitude opposite to the negative thoughts or emotions that arise in our mind. For example, if we feel jealous towards someone, we can cultivate a positive thought or attitude towards that person instead of remaining focused on our negative emotions. This practice helps us develop a more balanced and detached perspective on life, allowing us to respond to situations with greater clarity and wisdom. To avoid expectations and illusions, it is also important to recognize the impermanence of all things. Vedanta teaches us that everything in the universe is subject to change and that attachment to material things and results can lead to suffering. By accepting the impermanence of life, we can free ourselves from the grip of expectations and illusions and live with greater peace and contentment. Exploring Jigyasu Bhava for Self-Discovery and Spiritual Growth. Jigyasu Bhava is a Vedanta concept referring to the attitude of a seeker or an inquiring mind that is eager to learn and discover the truth about oneself and the universe. This attitude is essential for spiritual growth and self-discovery. Jigyasu Bhava implies questioning and contemplating the nature of reality and the Self. It encourages us to seek knowledge from reliable sources and reflect on our experiences to gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us. By cultivating Jigyasu Bhava, we can free ourselves from our limited perspectives and expand our consciousness. - Here my short stories about Kindness (I giorni della gentilezza- Paperback - Italian version)- tinyurl.com/3vfud2c9 - Here my book Learn Māori Culture and Proverbs (Paperback) tinyurl.com/6zmvz9tt - Version with Full Color Images - www.amazon.com/Learn-M%C4%81ori-…1621334435&sr=8-3 - Poster Maramataka: tinyurl.com/pht4easb - Here is my book dedicated to Lo-Fi Music (ebook and paperback), tinyurl.com/r2d69dyb - on Amazon USA, UK, INDIA, JAPAN, GERMANY, BRAZIL and other countries. - Here is my book with illustrated philosophical short stories (ebook and paperback), tinyurl.com/rpcd5c - on Amazon USA, UK, INDIA, JAPAN, GERMANY, BRAZIL and other countries. - Here is my book Black Book Note www.amazon.com/BLACK-BOOK-NOTE-i…32&s=books&sr=1-1 - Here is my journal dedicated to the great Italian poet Dante Alighieri tinyurl.com/42rt7jjh. - E-book and Video on www.lofimusic.it. - Here is my fashion brand dedicated to Spirituality, https://www.redbubble.com/people/Mantra-tshirt/shop
