View yourself as a third person to understand the 'you' better.

It's easier to understand yourself as a third person to evaluate your reactions and your responses better. We tend to act and we are nonstop throughout the day. How do we stop this? There seems so many times when we are exhausted and frustrated and irritated for no reason have you ever wondered why? It's difficult to understand the reasons because all this just happens in an instant just like that in a snap.

How do you break this? Or how do you break these as events?

Think of the actions that is produced as a result of thinking done by a third person. It makes you more detached from yourself when you think of yourself as another person and then evaluate your reactions. It acts as a guidance to understand what you have reacted and hoped you have reacted as right or wrong. You are your single best judge.

Your senses, your mind and the reaction which is produced by your experiences (buddhi) is all a sequential reaction based on the experiences and the memories that you have had. Can you logically separate these out? No it’s hard why because mind is a very difficult subject to deal with and most of the oldest literature deals with the nuances of the mind. Control of the mind needs a lot of discipline and a lot of disciplined practices.

It comes with devotion, it comes with sequential repetitions of these practices. Practices includes yoga asanas pranayama and dhyana. They are the limbs of yoga which leads you to self-realization as the final goal. Having said that you shouldn’t be focused on the goal but you should be focused on the process and set the focus on these practices.

Once you witness yourself as pure consciousness is when you realize you’re completely detached from the entire world of objects as a sunlight is unattached with the world of things and beings which are daily illumines.

Give the little spiritual practices of the asana , pranayama and Dhyana constantly on, the core of your personality changes towards you becoming detached and you understanding who you are. The self is pure consciousness where you are not the doer, you are that divine spark that came from a single source.

Spirituality is that experiential process and is very hard to put in words because beautiful experiences is beyond words.

You do it for yourself and only for yourself, to brighten yourself to become the happy being you are.
