Shakti

Uncategorized 1 Minute

Clarity / intensity of intent and the will for execution are critical success factors for any endeavour. A Buddha or a Hitler possessed both, only the direction & focus of the intent was different…

The good part is you can choose the direction and focus of your intent. The not so good part is that you have to fight with all your other inherent tendencies to establish it. Your focus is always on various things of value to you whether power,wealth, fame, sensual indulgences, emotions, intellect, spiritual which may or may not be in line with the direction and focus of intent that you may want. To align this distracted mind and body is one of the results of practicing Yoga consistently.

They say a habit forming period is 21 days or 90 days, but a character forming period is 12 years. Hence one Tapas is 12 years and all the Sadhus practice consistently for 12 years before dipping into the Ganga as a symbol of completion of one Tapas during the Kumbh Mela that happens every 12 years.

I wish there were an easy way of aligning character or forming habits but unfortunately, there isn’t. You have to choose your intent, focus carefully and use all your will to keep practicing it consistently and only then perhaps you will be able to harness the tremendous strength of the Shakti(Consciousness + Energy) in you. Shakti favours only those with a clear intent and will to see it through whether it is for the well being of all or not doesn’t really matter to it but it should to you since history is replete with examples of use of Shakti towards a good cause and a bad cause, why not choose the good one?

Remember what you choose to focus on with body, mind, spirit happens…
