Pranam STRESS
1 In samskritham there are several terms and a few shown here; every one speaks Sanskrit as word AAYASAM is seen and many will be uttering it whatever be their mother tongue. आयास <https://www.learnsanskrit.cc/index.php?tran_input=AyAsa&direct=au&script=hk&link=yes&mode=3> m. AyAsa <https://www.learnsanskrit.cc/index.php?tran_input=AyAsa&direct=au&script=hk&link=yes&mode=3> *stress* <https://www.learnsanskrit.cc/index.php?tran_input=stress&direct=au&script=hk&link=yes&mode=3> कर्षण <https://www.learnsanskrit.cc/index.php?tran_input=karSaNa&direct=au&script=hk&link=yes&mode=3> n. karSaNa <https://www.learnsanskrit.cc/index.php?tran_input=karSaNa&direct=au&script=hk&link=yes&mode=3> *stress* <https://www.learnsanskrit.cc/index.php?tran_input=stress&direct=au&script=hk&link=yes&mode=3> [Tech.] तीव्र <https://www.learnsanskrit.cc/index.php?tran_input=tIvra&direct=au&script=hk&link=yes&mode=3> adj. tIvra <https://www.learnsanskrit.cc/index.php?tran_input=tIvra&direct=au&script=hk&link=yes&mode=3> *stress*ed <https://www.learnsanskrit.cc/index.php?tran_input=stressed&direct=au&script=hk&link=yes&mode=3> 2 The war is about to begin. And our hero Arjuna is nearly in tears. [image: Text Description automatically generated] Arjuna said: My dear Kṛṣṇa, seeing my friends and relatives present before me in such a fighting spirit, I feel the limbs of my body quivering and my mouth drying up. Krishna makes a point to use cognitive therapy and some restructuring to get Arjuna back on his feet. Behind every behaviour, there is an unaddressed emotion. Lets looks at the undressed emotion behind responsibility. 1) *Reducing Anxiety* — what body sensations Arjuna is feeling may seem real but the mentor shifts the focus of Arjuna from body sensations to the source of these sensations. That’s thoughts. He is predicting future that it is going to be devastating. Yes, it is going to be difficult. Every war is. Like every exam is uncertain in schools and colleges. We don’t know the question papers. Like becoming a parent. We don’t know what we have to sacrifice for raising a child. Really don’t we know ? 2) *Underestimating the coping strategies and exaggerating the threat.* Like Arjuna we tend blow the threats that are uncertain and can’t remember the skills we have to deal with these situations. Krishna here makes a point to boost his moral by telling him who he is what his skills are and how the world relates to him. Make a list of skill you can help you cope this situation and gauge the parameters of what could possibly go wrong “Yes! Physics has given up. We do not know how to predict what would happen in each circumstance, and we believe now that it is impossible — that the only thing that can be predicted is the probability of different events. It must be recognized that this is a retrenchment in our earlier ideal of understanding nature. It may be a backward step, but no one has seen a way to avoid it. … So at the present time we must limit ourselves to computing probabilities. We say “ at the present time, ” but we suspect very strongly that it is something that will be with us forever — that it is impossible to beat that puzzle — that this is the way nature really is. 3)*Put reality in your face.* Don’t act as if you didn’t know what was in the battlefield. when we take any new initiative or action or job or business we know the ups and down. But the moment first ramp down in the cycle comes we question “didn’t you knew this is going to come ?” 4)*Shifting focus to purpose from current problem*. Like Arjuna we tend to de-focus from the purpose and glorify the problem. Yes, there is a problem to deal with. But research <http://pss.sagepub.com/content/early/2014/05/06/0956797614531799.abstract>shows that dealing with a problem becomes easier if we know why we are doing it. 5) *Knowing what is responsibility* — Responsibility is misused in everyday life. Responsibility is the ability to respond, it is not a blame. You have the freedom to choose between every stimulus and response. (as choice of religion!) . (B G speeches) 3 विषाद योग : First chapter of Bhagwad gita is known for Arjun’s विषाद. Even mighty Arjuna fall into the emotional trap. My rational friend: “There is nothing much in “अर्जुन विषाद योग”. One can very well skip first chapter of Gita.” “My dear friend, you are saying that observing seeds is not important in raising a tree/plant? विषाद is the reason, we got Gita and you want to ignore it? It was Dhritrashtra’s विषाद that led to war and it was Arjun’s विषाद that led to Gita followed by win by Pandava. And you want to ignore? Arjun’s stress was due to Dhritrashtra’s stress, via Sanjaya’s psychological warfare. धृतराष्ट्र tried everything to blackmail पांडव using धार्मिक-diplomacy of संजय (उद्योग पर्व – २२ से ३२) So deep that even warrior like Arjuna forgot स्वधर्म! 4 Leading to stress: BG 2.63: krodhad bhavati sammohah sammohat smrti-vibhramah smrti-bhramsad buddhi-naso buddhi-nasat pranasyati >From anger, delusion arises, and from delusion bewilderment of memory. When memory is bewildered, intelligence is lost, and when intelligence is lost, one falls down again into the material pool. FEAR IS THE KEY. STRESS IS ANTI PHYSICS AND CHEMISTRY. Solution is in Baghavat Gita. Why we went to or Srijat Krishna went to west theories that too wnen he was so close DEEPAK CHOPRA. I said the day is not far off when we hear B G in another version from west and run after.
