“The mind is restless, krishna, impetuous, self-willed, hard to train: to master the mind seems as difficult as to master the mighty winds’’ --- THE BHAGAVAD GITA


In 21st century, we are having an exponential growth phase of technology world. Everything is way more easy than past, from food delivery services to AI implementation in researches. Actually, we are chasing our destiny to be more confined because we want to drive it according to our own. 

    What we are having actually is more options in this era for each and every little thing. So, as diversity increases more and more our thinking process is having more and more thoughts to process. And this is making our inner peace more disturbed. According to the studies in 2020, more than 6000 thoughts come in an avg human mind per day. Out of which 90percent are irrelevant. Like water is having fluidity because of its inner stillness nature so do our mind is having the same nature. The more still & peaceful you are from inside the more productive you will become for any particular task.

    Technology is being used now for avoiding any moment of boredom. Then what we are trying to escape? Its our inner peace & stillness. We want to be disturbed in every moment. 

    Just think what will happen if one day morning you are having no sounds from your human & technology surrounding anymore, not even a single? 
     Answer is, you will be confused as well as feared up from inside because your brain is being habituated of being disturbed by outside world as it does not know from long that how to be in stillness. This shows your mind doesn’t even know how to maintain inner harmony or peace then how could you expect it will not be confused for any other outer world decision. 
    
    This is the biggest reason of a large number of people of our generation are not clear from their mind despite of having huge number of options. 
    They lack stillness in their lives that is reflecting on their existence though a confused mind, confused life. 

    Even in our mythological histories will show you relevance of stillness as doing ‘dhayan’ had been a part of spiritually lifted lives.

   Doing actually nothing, is a very difficult task to accomplish!

Stillness is needed … 

    To think clearly, 
    To have balanced life, 
    To handle high-pressure situation 
    To feel fulfilled & productive 
    To build good habit To physical excellence 
    To gain emotional intelligence 
    To capture precious moments of life 
     … so on.


Stillness is the key to, well, just everything. To unlock all that are capable of in this life.
