Staring at the prison wall with a look of disappointment he said, "And Yet It Moves". The father of Observational Astronomy, Galileo Galilei spoke these words when the Catholic Church disapproved his theory that the earth revolves around the sun but not the sun around the earth. Our planet whose primary function is to revolve around the big mass of ball called sun provides us with innumerable number of things we need, be it water, shelter, shade and oxygen. No human being has ever wondered who has put the planets into position and lie in that fixed station of gravity. Well, we all are perplexed regarding the scientific connection between us and the planets far away which looks like just few miles away in the sky.

Peninta - Penintha (peninta refers to the word 'fifty' in Greek) is how one should categorise his modern life and the spiritual life. Earth alone does not have the capability to give sunshine rather it does the half the work which means to take care of the people present in her planet and the Sun takes care of providing warmth and producing light which helps Earth and the other planets to not get completely freeze. The same way we should balance the cycle of material.

The first thing we do after getting up in the morning is check our mobile phones and that's how our day starts. But if one wants to progress spiritually as well as materially, the foremost thing one needs to do is to pray. Now the idea of praying sounds old cultured for few modern people but the idea of praying is what makes you progress. If you start praying the moment after you have woken up, it will bring a connection which you have disconnected it while you were asleep. It first brings up the god consciousness in you and activates that primary base which connects you to God. Not only does it have spiritual benefits but material benefits too. It produces two hormones called serotonin and dopamine which calms your nervous system and make you less prone towards negative emotions.

To maintain the cycle of material one needs to divide his day into material works and spiritual works. That's the ideal type of day one needs to work upon. Suppose an individual with his office routine starts a day in a hurry if he has got pending tasks then before he shall reach office, he can start his spiritual journey be not for entire day but for a minute. The first known way is praying and the second comes to radiate positive feelings by thinking of God of whatever believed entity of God he believes in. Such thoughts not only make one faithful towards God but also, he emits the positive energy and makes on confidence and strives to do good in his material life too.

To understand the self, we have become perplexed as we don't think of organising our lives and to sufficiently divide the individual's day work it can be as following: 1. Remembrance 2. Deep Work 3. Mindful thoughts. This categorical order allows one to not get distracted with the unwanted thoughts which leads to the growth of anxiety and overthinking. Remembrance of things which make you happy or the things which does not have any negative feelings attached to it makes ones worry vanish away just like the dark clouds gets totally backed out once the sun arrives. To talk spiritually remembrance of individuals desired god can be thought of as to think of the supreme personality of godhead in this age of Kali is so rare. But there is only one supreme godhead, as to whatever god or demigods one remembers it ultimately reaches that supreme.

Magnified work with utmost focus to any of the works makes one's mind constituted to that precise work be it reading a book to completing your assignment. Make sure your mind is thoroughly engaged in some work or the other. Your mind is like a bird, if given a work it stays at that place or else it roams to any dangerous places which invites trouble. Listen, read and chant the glories of the supreme as it makes you far from trouble and close to yourself. This deep and focused work makes you free from the worries of past and future.

This point is a must to follow to the following readers as well as myself because if this is to be acted accordingly then you shall be in relaxed state. You roam out, talk with people, go to a movie and then again come back but after all that you need to get that present state of mind if that's not possible then you will be stuck in other events rather in present. So, accumulate your thoughts and make them mindful by thinking what currently your action is. To grow spiritually one needs to make that junk thoughts thrown into the dustbin and make the thoughts stable by deep breathing and meditation. Thus, one can organise thy work accordingly.
