Excellent write up, dear!

As you have pointed out very well, it is consistency that matters... But it's tough to master our minds. I have been trying to do, am trying to do, will try to do" master of my mind". But sometimes, there is some redundancy coming on the way., leading to making my mind out of my control. Most of the time, it's possible to control my mind consciously to keep the conflicts at bay. However, it's not possible 100 per cent of the time.

Master Shifu of kung-fu Panda is my inspiration. I admire that character so much that I put myself as master Shifu when the situation goes controversial. Sometimes I succeed. Numerous times, I failed.

But like the axe story.., every tiny baby step is as much as necessary. The last step, made the wooden log break. However, it needs lots of realisation that it's not so easy. At the same time it's not that hard also.

On a scale of 0 to 10, it's only 5 for me about inner peace. Consciously pulling my mind towards this or diverting my mind if it goes out of my control.

One thing is sure. that there is a tremendous change in me these days, and people like you have contributed very much in making me at least to this extent!

Good one Purnima. As they say ‘questions give direction to our intelligence’. The key is to ask the right questions
