When we know our true nature, also called as our personality, we better
understand our self and those around us. It will help in answering ‘why we
are doing, what we are doing?’ We think and feel in a certain way and act
accordingly, but we are not able to understand why others are not able to
understand our actions. The answer is simple: Because others are not
thinking and feeling the way we are doing. The basic question is: why we
are thinking and feeling in a certain way but others are not? While doing
certain tasks we are very comfortable whereas we feel anxious doing some
other simple tasks. People ask: why? Same thing we feel about others and
wonder why they are not able to do some other simple tasks. We find that
some people are very comfortable even when meeting others, the first time,
whereas some people find it very difficult to start a conversation with new
acquaintances.
Don’t you think life would be better if you had answer to these questions?
There are many experts who try to answer these questions in their own
way. Over a period of time many tools have been developed to answer
these questions. Some times they are right and sometimes they are wrong.
Still it helps to know that there are ways to understand oneself. Some
experts have developed tools to even predict your most suitable careers.
When I wanted to find answers of the above questions, I looked at our
ancient texts. I wanted to know whether we have asked these questions in
them, and answers given. I was surprised to know the extent of knowledge
and wisdom hidden in our ancient texts. Luckily for me, I found good
teachers and some ery good commentaries of some our ancient texts
which helped me answer these questions. In this blog we will go that
journey of self-discovery. We will discover the Arjuna within us.
