The psychology of change

The power of Mahashivratri

 

What enables change?

 

Every person lives two lives simultaneously – an internal and external.

The internal has layers to it – from thoughts, emotions, intellect to absolute awareness.

 

We are our most dominant / excited internal state irrespective of the mask we wear in external world.

 

When change presents itself, the person does not assess it on its merits. The person sees it relative to one’s internal state. Health, relations and important decisions play a second fiddle to mood, fears, and comfort of inertia.

 

To change, address the person inside first.

 

Mahashivratri, which represents in Hinduism the churning of cosmic forces for greater good, offers a window to reconnect, be grateful and surrender. The seeker shifts one’s gaze – from internal states to universal consciousness.

 

When the internal states become One

Change becomes You.
