Void After My Father's Departure
One year back, I was writing about myself in an article Death at 60. I wrote there I was ready to die at any time, but given a choice, I would like to wait until my father was alive. My purpose for this demand of concession was my desire to support my father morally and physically in his old age. Well, he did not agree to this and went away forever on his own. So, I can loudly pronounce now “I am ready to die!”
However, I have yet to learn how to react to someone when I disagree with them and/or my ideas differ in total from the concerned person. At present, in such situations, I keep myself away and withdraw. It can be labeled as escapism. But coming to a consensus or agreement is not always easy. Due to the generation gap or the conservative approach of parents, the difference of opinion is bound to be there. Here, both parties should take care of maintaining the dignity of the other. The ideal option is to ignore the nature of the parents and forgive them immediately.

Beware Of Television Side-effects
Caution! Beware of television serials (soap operas), news channels and panel discussions on different issues. They will disturb your psyche, sleep and thought process. They will make you think and worry with stress all the while.Vow – A Solemn Religious Promise
A vow is actually a transaction between God and a deity. Here a promise is made by an individual to God at some critical moment.
(Gujarati equivalent words are Baadha - બાધા, Akhadi, Agad, Vrat - વ્રત)
To tell, in other words, it is an oath where divine being is the recipient of the promise. Actually, God is usually understood to be granting some special favour to His devotee in return of some promise made or service offered. The troubled individual persuades God to give what he desires and help him out in time of need and crises. A vow is also a promise to offer something at once to God on getting the expected result.
3 Steps OSHO Meditation Technique
OSHO's 3-step Medication Technique
1. Breathing: 10 minutes
Sit in a comfortable relaxed position with back straight at 90 degrees with the base and keep your eyes closed without pressure on lids.
Take deep breathing in and do deep breathing out for 10 minutes. Pay attention to breathing only.
2. Total acceptance and non-resistance: 10 minutes
While continuing to pay attention to breathing, you hear sounds of birds, children, vehicles and such things around. Just do not get disturbed because of noise, instead, accept them as being natural and accept them without resistance. You will feel a great depth of meditation.
3. Egolessness: 10 minutes
Being aware of sounds as accepted and paying attention to breathing, think I am nobody, think I am not anywhere and be egoless. Continue thinking that you are a droplet becoming ocean by falling into the ocean. You will feel united with GOD and feel one with GOD… a desire of many to be so.
Do this for half an hour before going to bed and get asleep. Repeat the same in the bed lying on the bed while getting up in the morning.
You will get relaxed and happy. I did this myself and found having relaxing and pleasing effects.
When you are upset or angry during day-time, do these three steps of one minute each. It is a pleasing and de-stressing experience worth trying.
