Hi Sir! Great piece once again. But you said peace is natural to humans? How can you substantiate this point. Because I can see more chaos in the world than peace.

Hello Abhay!
I will try to substantiate it in a few words as the subject is too large. It is good that you have asked it because it is always better to know this at this age for you.
Yes it is natural, today the human race has been living an artificial life, day by day going away from nature. You may observe animal life how peaceful they are.
When anybody Meditates he goes into his inner being, there he finds peace and solace away from the world. So it is stressed that one has to Meditate, go away for this world and live with nature at least for some time.
Hope you understood the point.
Thanks

Certainly Shiva, stress can cause many illnesses that will in turn kill you.
The list is long. In danger stress is a natural reaction and often necessary for survival.
However, in every day life it has no natural outlet and just stays in your blood and organs. To top it, stress makes you unhappy.
Awareness is the first to combat this disease in modern society, then we can take action.

Stress is certainly taking one away from living in the moment and of not realizing the Truth of what ever we are doing to cause stress. My take on this is…. check your emotions what caused your stress….. analyzing it… go deep into the roots of it… reflect on it …. and learn from it…. so one knows to handle it differently next time stress appears. It is all about awareness. Thank you Shiva for sharing this deep post. Enjoy your week in blessings.

Second thing is we do not know we are Satchitananda roopa. Life plays such games with us, so we have to be vigilant.

Great post, Shiva. I have just learned about Satchitananda. The first encounter with stress is like the excessive coldness of air conditioning. You do not notice it until your whole body is freezing. The second encounter with stress is like a mosquito bite. You do not notice it until you have been bitten and the skin is red and swollen. Stress can lead you to disease and premature death. I think stress is the first cause of premature mortality in many so-called “advanced countries”. If you are stressed you do not drive carefully and so the risk of an accident increases. If you are stressed you get psychologically ill and then it ends up affecting your body physically because all illnesses have an emotional trigger together with other causes (genetic predisposition, etc.). We are often too unaware of being stress victims because we do not listen to our mind, body and soul and because this competitive globalized capitalist world oppresses us with excessive working hours and other stupid demands we are unable to fullfil. This system kills time to think because that is what the few world rulers, the puppeteers, want from us in order to manipulate us as much as possible and we, the vast majority, are their puppets. Your post creates awareness and that is very important. Sometimes you are stressed and do not notice and so you need the help of others to realize what is happening to you.

You have murdered it by Running. I was a sports person and a health freek. Past more than twenty years have been in Yoga. Stress hit me by the passing, when it made me know of it’s presence, it was my target and I did not take time to press my trigger.
I went through your Blog and it pretty talks much about Running. I shall visit your posts later as it is festival season here in India.

I also want to thank you for your consideration of me being a Beautiful Soul and the insertion of my Blog in your Dreampack series. I shall comment on that there.
I don’t know how to tell you of being away from the Blogosphere. Past months my brother suddenly died and I lost my ailing mother too. At my workplace there was lot of work as we added few new Machines.
My health was disturbed and stress took it’s toll on me. I reverted back to give a surprise to myself. I am now playing Table Tennis in the early morning hours.
So I had less time for the blog. No new thoughts too.
I think I shall bounce back very soon to meet you all.
