When sleep eludes you

Friends My father used to say, "As long as one has no major health issues, as evidenced by normal routines, good appetite and adequate normal sleep, one should consider oneself blessed" True. Any adverse variation in one of parameters will upset the other two. In the short piece(Speaking Tree) in ET yesterday, Narayani Ganesh analysed the causes for disturbed sleep and possible precautions we can try to improve the quality of our sleep. See A below. M G Warrier A When sleep eludes you Synopsis After an eventful day, many individuals find themselves wrestling with insomnia, leading to adverse health effects. Integrating deep breathing techniques into your nightly routine can be invaluable. By concentrating on your breath, you facilitate relaxation and alleviate concerns over the day’s events. A continuous sleep deficit not only hampers sound decision-making but also undermines overall health.

The Psychology of Attachment (The Downward Spiral) In Chapter 2 (Verses 62–63), Lord Krishna outlines a precise psychological chain reaction that ruins human bonds: Contemplation: Constantly obsessing over how someone should behave, look, or respond. Attachment (Sanga): Clinging to a mental image or expectation of a person. Desire & Anger: When reality fails to match your mental image, expectation turns into frustration, anger, and delusion. Destruction: The clouding of judgment leads to emotional ruin and loss of inner peace. Core Principles for Healthy Relationships Karma Yoga (Selfless Action): As stated in Chapter 2, Verse 47, you have a right to perform your duty, but not to demand specific fruits or reciprocation. In relationships, this means loving and giving genuinely without turning the bond into a strict, transactional ledger. Love vs. Attachment: True love (Bhagavad Gita perspective) offers freedom, inner fullness, and growth. Attachment seeks to possess, control, and mold the other person to fit an ego-driven ideal, which ultimately suffocates the relationship. Accepting Lack of Control: You control your own actions, honesty, and care, but you cannot force another person to react or understand in a specific way. Releasing this need for control restores emotional balance. Fulfilling Dharma (Duty): Harmonious connections require meeting your responsibilities as a partner, friend, or family member with maturity, patience, and tolerance rather than rigid self-righteousness.
