Last two sessions we have seen the guiding principles at global level. Now let’s bring them to personal level.
Any action or physical appearance is the outermost form for our belief system or assumption. This means guiding principle are the CAUSE and our actions or thoughts are EFFECTs. Similarly our belief/assumptions are the CAUSE and our actions are EFFECTS.
Basic assumption – guiding principles or belief system is the last cause of any Effect. Eg -Tree is the effect and seed is the cause. Seed can be called as last cause of the EFFECT. If stone is thrown in air, it will fall down. Gravitational force is CAUSE and falling down action is EFFECT.
Let’s see how from global principle we can come to personal level.
Write down all the belief systems or assumption. For example write down, I believe in ……………………..
· Believe in God
· In the quote that “everything is fair in love and war”.
· Life is Game
· Believe in Love marriage
· Not believe in non violence
· Etc etc
We can write down ‘n’ number of such assumptions and belief systems. And eventually you will find that our decisions are governed by these belief systems.
Now second step is to analyze how we behave relatively or take decisions relatively in different situation. The above are one level below our conscious and impact our day to day life decisions and opinions. These systems work perfectly ok with normal situation, but in critical or but if the belief systems are based on the illusion then in difficult situations they fumble down.
These beliefs and assumptions actually operate and govern our life. If we analyze our decisions taken in the critical situation, then we can understand that our decisions or behavior was based on this of assumptions and beliefs.
Please think on the belief systems and start thinking of CAUSE and EFFECT. Once we have learned and understood this mechanism then we can find answers for the questions related to performance, why it happens only with me, & will also help to get directions from our life.

Excellent !!! It means that our decisions are also based on our belief system.... That's why the decisions of two persons in the same situation are different.
The theory is good but I cannot accept it in its entirety. My points of defense would be:
a) If the guiding principles would be solely based on cause and effect, then every individual should be taking the same set of actions for a given prob. But this ain't the case.
Why? because there are other factors at play. Any event is a result of more than one cause. And it is up-to the individual to analyse a particular cause and move ahead. So, cause and effect along with individual perception become the guiding posts.
b) Another point of view; some overlooked, out of scope factors commonly called as LUCK,FATE or DESTINY play a vital role in life. No human is perfect enough to factor all causes to a problem and hence cannot write off luck completely.
I rest my case. What Mr Amir Khan recommends "Aal Izz Well" is just good enough for the movies. Personal grief and apprehension is a good enough motivation for problem solving. As a personal experience; mental pressure helps me to get over obstacles.
Ur point of view!??!!...
Hi Feiry
I thank you for the valuable feedback. Following are my coments.
For the point a) – Guiding principles are not based on the cause & effect. In fact, Guiding principles (our assumptions, our belief systems, conditioning) is one of the causes for all our thoughts and actions ( which is called as Effect). And as mentioned by you rightly , actions for a given problem or situation varies from individual to individual, because each individuals has its own belief system. If the belief system were same for all then the action would have been same. And the individual perception is one of the outer form of belief systems and experience.
b) If the belief systems are not stronger and are based on perceptions the our progress stops at LUCK, FATE & DESTINY. But if our belief systems are stronger and is based on the sound principles, then even if the luck or situation is not favorable, our approach will still be positive and energetic which will open more doors of opportunities to write out own destiny.
The article which are written is to strengthen our internal system. I believe that every human being has a solid foundation on which his entirely life is standing. If we become aware about it then it helps to find out lot of answers which are related to our life.
Situation in front of us will remain same. The way we approach it will change.
