THE LAW OF BELIEF

.All religions of the world represent forms of belief, and these beliefs are explained in many ways. The law of life is belief. What do you believe about yourself, life, and the universe? 
It is done unto you as you believe.

Belief is a thought in your mind that causes the power of your subconscious to be distributed into all phases of your life according to your thinking habits. You must realize that when the Bible speaks of belief, it is not talking about your belief in somem ritual, ceremony, form, institution , or formula. It is talking about belief itself. The belief of your mind is simply the thought of your mind.

If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. (Mark 9:23)

It is foolish to believe in something that will hurt or harm you. Remember, it is not the thing believed in that hurts or harms you, but the belief or thought in your mind that creates the result. All your experience, all your actions, all the events and circumstances of your life are but the reflections and reactions to your own thought.

"The Difficulty of being good-"

"The Difficulty of Being Good-"on the subtle art of dharma (authored by Gurcharan Das).

The Mahabharatha is about our incomplete lives, about how difficult it is to be good in the world."Nature does not give a man virtue; the process of becoming a good man is an art". The Mahabharata believes that our lives should not have to be so cruel and humiliating. This explains its refrain, "dharma lead to victory!". Although it is spoken with irony at times, the epic genuinely desires that our relationships be more honest and fair.What comes in the way is our tendency to deceive ourselves, rationalize our actions, and readily find fault in others while remaining blind to the same fault in ourselves.

From the beginning the West has sought for what was "wondrous in the East" and it seemed to find it in India's religious and spiritual identity. This focus on the exotic neglected the" deep-seated heterogeneity of Indian traditions". Indian for their part, have been happy to embrace this self-image of 'spirituality' as a way to recover their self-esteem after long years of colonial history. It makes them feel superior to the 'materialistic' West. But they have paid a price. In their obsession with "moksha", the "spiritual" end, they sometimes lose sight these days of the three worldly goals-dharma, artha, and kama- which are needed to lead a more balanced life. These are the very pursuits that the Mahabharata commends to its listeners:
When this great incomparable tale, esteemed
By dispassionate men of wise erudition,
Is studied in detail, their spreading insight
Into the three pursuits will conquer the earth.
