Total Thoughts, Titiksha (pages 25-27):
- We have the luxury of thinking about our duty - if we can appreciate this, then we can also respect those that don't. Our minds can also change once we realize that what one's duty is, is what we make of it
- Perspective is important - we should seek to understand that there are different perspectives to every situation and this leads some to complain and others to celebrate. We should also begin to understand what drives us towards each reaction and make conscious effort to see the positive opportunity in each challenge
- Choice is a blessing and a curse - sometimes we are lost because we are faced with too much choice (i.e. blue jean dilemma) but we should continue to reflect to inform our decisions
- Practice endurance - we should push ourselves towards cheerful acceptance as acceptance itself is positive but we can achieve more peace if we can experience it cheerfully
- Everything is changing - we should not chase what is good and complain about what is bad but recognize that everything is ever changing
- Joy is tangible in Satsanga - this is such a beneficial practice as everyone is a teacher and a student
"The strongest principle of growth lies in human choice" - George Eliot
