Ujjain : Indore Management Association (IMA)’s local chapter organised center of excellence on Freedom from the “I”, knowing the Real You on Saturday evening at Prashanti Heights.
The facilitator for the session was Shashank Kasliwal. He said “if you are stressed and stay in anxiety, fear, insecurity and anger most of the time, it’s because of your own perception that has developed over a period of time. It is called conditioning when your mind gets attached to the past experiences and starts assuming a new future basis the old thoughts. When the consciousness gets attached to old memories, ego is formed. When a person identifies a particular point of view, judgment, right, wrong, like or dislike, he is unable to experience the present moment. This particular identification consumes his entire energy and he starts staying absent to the present life situations, he added.
Kasliwal further said ego keeps the intelligence entangled and does not allow one to see the facts but distorts it according to its own limited understanding. The impact of this is frustration, irritation and a life filled with reactions. The person no longer is free to experience the newness that life is. This makes one repeat old mistakes and makes one habitual in action. The outcome primarily becomes lack of focus and laziness. The way out is the ability to see situations without having old thoughts to interfere. When one is able to listen exactly what is said without judging the other person’s word. When one is free of the images by being attentive, aware, reactions starts to diminish, he added.
