Whenever there is feeling of sorrow within, even though it is from the opposing atmosphere, we must continue our work within with inner implements (mind, intellect etc.,). Sometimes certain incidents that happen in life can rock our foundation and everything seems and feels to be scattered. During such times we must develop the Bhavna that these incidents are given by the grace of Prabhu to develop virtues like balanced mind (Tatasthata), equanimity(Samata), genuine happiness(Prasannata), patience etc., Know for sure that if we face such incidents with proper Bhavna, awareness and knowledge, we will never sink into despair and sorrow. This soul has trained the self to educate self from such incidents, and because of that this soul has gained such understanding and vision from keeping this attitude. If we can keep this kind of attitude with living awareness in apparently contradictory incidents, our Bhavna of balanced mind, peace, genuine happiness etc., gets energized; and we develop lively and creative awareness of our firmness, strength and balanced mind. For this reason, instead of running away from such incidents if we create a happy union to factually accept such incidents with knowledge, awareness and develop such Bhavna in life, it is Jivan Yoga.
