We become unhappy and sad with numerous circumstances we may face in life because we lack control over our mind. The sadness easily spreads in the subconscious mind and it becomes difficult to be happy even if we wanted to. Even if you think of some good thoughts, without a strong will, your attention will quickly jump from one thing to another. Now in order to develop a strong will, it is similar to your close friends and those you love; the more you speak with them and spend time with them, the easier it is to remember things about them. The same can be said about content relating to the mind where your internal peace and happiness are attainable the more you dwell on those thoughts. As in studying, we can remember the content we read and practice more, so just imagine how powerful it would be if you love & practiced Ajapa Japa regularly? In this materialistic world, most people are only focused on attaining the materialistic things in life. However, we should only focus on the Bhagavad Gita and only visualize and think about Lord Krishna, doing all the things we do in reverence and when these things are done for others, it can benefit us as well. In the Bhagavad Gita, it is stated that our goal should be to achieve Moksh and in order to do that, our goals should be centred around helping others. So no matter what we choose to do, or how we choose to help, we should pick an area that works for us, and help others the best way we can. When you feel down and out you should chant visualizing Lord Krishna. Once you keep practicing it, it will become so powerful that even the worst bad day will have no negative impact on you as all happiness and sadness are based on the perception of our senses. By chanting and practicing this Krishna Visualization, your senses are kept under control and your mind will not have any space for sadness to enter. Remember, you must learn the tolerance. However it is impossible to always receive good luck simply by chanting God’s name as that alone will not make everything better for you; it doesn’t work like that. However, by Chanting and Practicing this you will develop Strong Tolerance in your mind so that there are no doors for negativity to enter. Even if they enter you would be able to kick them out with your will by Visualizing Krishna in your mind. Krishan Bhakti grows within the mind, we can tune out the negative thoughts so that they have no way of entering our mind. For one with a strong mind, negative and sad thoughts will have difficulty entering as opposed to one with a weak mind, as their mind is less fortified and as such, may allow the thoughts to enter. I can tell you with absolute certainty that people will always want products and services, but may be unwilling to seek them from those who seem unreliable, untrustworthy or who may charge unfairly. So if you utilize your products and services in order to help others, the law of Karma will be applied. You will definitely receive based on what you serve so if you focus on serving the best quality of services, you’ll receive its financial rewards in return. You will also receive positive word of mouth feedback, which is better than any marketing model to promote your products and services. Cordially Yours, Kishan Barai
