Famous Awdhesh Singh Quotes

“Our conscience is not God and it can’t give us any divine message. It only repeats what it has learned over a period of time right from our childhood. Our conscience is constantly modified based on new learning and personal experiences. Once we challenge our conscience and do the opposite, we start seeing the other side of the truth which we could never see due to our conditioned mind.”

“In the same way, if you are only reading what suits your taste, you would soon get bored. You must also read books that are not as per your taste, even if it means putting in great effort in the beginning to read such books. It is only when you force your mind to exercise itself by reading difficult thoughts that it grows, similar to the situation where the muscle mass in our body increases when we lift weights. When you broaden your mind, your ability to enjoy reading increases.”

“When you read good books, interact with good people, you are sowing the seeds of good thoughts in your mind. You also need to water them daily till they take deep roots in your mind. You have to provide them with plenty of sunshine, air and nutrients regularly. When their roots go deep, they can draw all nutrition and water on their own and no effort or very little effort will be required from your end.”

“It is natural to feel angry once in a while, but it becomes a serious problem when you are getting angry regularly even in routine situations at home or in the office. When the anger becomes frequent and flares up at the slightest provocation, it is an indication that all is not well in your life. Frequent and uncontrolled anger is a symptom of a fragile state of mind, which gets manifested at the slightest unfavourable situation.”

“Once our anger has settled down and our rational mind is back in action, we realise the damage we have done to ourselves and to other people in the fit of rage. Even the most sagacious man can become a beast when he loses his temper. But remember that just like a house burnt by fire can’t be brought back even after the fire is dowsed, no amount of repentance can restore the damage caused by your lost temper.”

“Self-knowledge, which comes from within, gradually change our beliefs and drops those beliefs which are false and stupid. After being cleared off all the dirt acquired by us in the form of second-hand knowledge in our early age, we can directly see the reality, through our own eyes, through our own heart and mind, as our mind gets unconditioned. It is this mind that is rightly compared to God, as such a consciousness is pure, having been cured of all ignorance and darkness and we come close to our true self—Atman or soul.”
