Inner Battle.

In this hugger-mugger world, each one of us is fighting some battle or the other. Many people, in fact, the whole world is fighting the battle against the COVID-19 which has disturbed the life of people. Some are fighting a battle against black and white lives. Several are fighting a battle for racism, feminism. Some are fighting the battle of financial problem, rejections, external pressure and many more. But we all are sailing in the same boat, confronting the problem and fighting the battle of inner conflict with ourselves associated with something or the other. It’s the battle between head and heart which sometimes become so hard on us we literally lose control on ourself and may even lead to taking our lives from us.

The inner battle, the inner conflict, the inner war is the battle, conflict, war which we are fighting with, maybe because of several thoughts which are running in our mind. Actually, its like a small dot which if ignored may increase and may drag us in trouble. It all starts with a small thought (seed) and then starts uniting different thoughts (form branches), and then finally it grows (a big tree). We aren’t aware when it starts because we are actually enthralled with ourselves so much that we keep on ignoring it. It might a diminutive situation we started with. For example, we are so much engaged in our work that we forget to have our meals on time and which leads to frustration. This frustration which eats us. In spite of suffering from this and to seek a solution, we still keep on ignoring it and then it takes us to a stage where we are unable to share it with our beloved ones also. Our daily situations which cause anxiety, guilt, depression, frustration, lack of confidence, lack of energy, lack of our thinking power, etc are the symptoms which we are unable to recognise and it surmounts us.

In this marvellous world which we are part of, we have forgotten that we are here to live a beautiful life instead we are on the mission of being lucrative. We are just running behind success. We planned how to achieve it, but when we face failure instead of success we have no control over ourselves. Due to unplanned journey which threw us in front of the situation which we did not want to face, stops our thinking power and it creates a full stop on us. Now the question arises that we created so healthy relations but still we had a lack of trust of our near and dear ones. We felt that they would laugh on us, they would just give a piece of advice and tell us to turn a blind eye to it. They would turn a deaf ear to our emotions, our feelings etc which we are expressing to them. We also think that they don’t think from our standpoint, nor do they try to imagine or experience what we are trying to enunciate. They don’t try to be in our shoes.

The biggest battle we all fighting with is thinking about what we want and do we really feel the same. It is the battle between our heart and mind which many times do not agree on the same point. In a situation where both are debating a cold war. What could help you resolve this? Mediation, articulating to the one’s who wants to help you out and will hear you out. Hear to motivational speeches, lectures and read good books. Write out what you are going through. Take responsibility for your results instead of blaming others in any situation. Focus on the things that are in your control instead of thinking and unnecessarily collecting the debris, which isn’t in your control. Inner battle sometimes actually establishes fear which holds you to accomplish what you want, so face the fear. Sometimes due to the one mistake you made, doesn’t let you live peacefully, so forgive yourself, don’t be hard on yourself and blame or punish yourself for this, instead take experience and learn a lesson. Live in the present that all is in your control and you work in Krishna’s consciousness.

Remember,

”Fight the inner battle with inner peace. Overcome an obstacle in front of you like a warrior. Be like a ’ROCK’ which absorbs nothing and nothing can break it”.
