Reawakening passion

Rajyogi Brahmakumar Nikunj ji

One word that rules the minds of today’s generation is ‘passion.’ Yes, it is a fact that today’s youth want to passionately get involved in whatever they do. In our lives, we can have a lot of technical a//bility, but if we are not passionate about what we are doing, we feel that there is something missing and that we are just going through the motions. But, if we are passionate about what we are doing, then we feel alive and enthused. The question now is, ‘How do we re-awaken our passion for life?’ Most of us often live someone else’s dream or someone else’s idea of who we should be. Why do we do this? It could be out of a desire to please others, or out of the fear of rejection. When our actions are filled with intention and connected to our purpose, we feel passionate about what we are doing. Today, we often find ourselves running around in many directions chasing many ‘desires.’ This leaves us feeling discontent and exhausted! We always value what we have, and not who we are or can be. Remember! Purpose is usually connected with being and giving. There are three ways with which we can make a connection with our purpose. These are Knowing, Understanding and Acting. We get thousands of thoughts a day in our minds, of which 90% are the same as the ones we had yesterday. Hence, we must nurture our passion for knowledge with creative questions and rich conversations. Due to a lack of understanding, we always end up making our lives miserable. This understanding can be achieved with the practice of meditation. And lastly, one must not forget that we manifest ourselves through our actions .Our actions show what we think and feel. So, when our actions are filled with purpose, the passion is re-ignited in our life. The writer is an international speaker, spiritual educator and experienced meditation teacher.
