Cribbing!!


Many of us have this habit of cribbing over the same thing again and again.... what do we even get out of this?? The more we crib, the more we freak ourselves out, the more we freak others out too, then this leads to arguments of words, and then probably a fight or so....Also if we notice, this is the period when our brain stops working...We dont find any way out....

What have we achieved out of all this???

Nothing ....just nothing.... something happens, what can we do about it? if you can do , do it....thats better than cribbing....if nothing is possible, just shut up....what happened cannot be revoked back and manipulated according to your wish....

Instead of cribbing, if we sit back and relax and accept what happened, we get many more ideas to even get out through the situation we have encountered....

And how to stop cribbing??? ........ is through practice.....and 1 of the sub products of Sudarshan Kriya and pranayama is this.....it makes us aware of what we are doing, and at that very moment, we can decide what to do next....instead of wasting our time and energy cribbing .......

By the way, what does the above image signify?? It shows the state one acquires after cribbing....

My Guruji(His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankarji) came up with this recently:

He once told a joke to a large audience... and the entire audience was in laughter...He repeated it again, people laughed but the no. of people who laughed were comparatively lesser. He repeated it once more, the number deteriorated even more. Once more he repeated, hardly 10 or 15 people laughed...Once more he repeated, just 1 or 2 people laughed. Then he said the line that shook all of us. He said if you cant laugh over the same joke over and over again, why cry over the same thing again and again?? At that very moment, he got us down to the reality....
