Ukraine - Russia crisis is tragic and something we could never have imagined in this day and age but here we are.

In this episode, I talk about how our reaction to all the news and events is adding fuel to Putin in winning this war.

I also discuss how we all can consciously stop helping Putin win this war.

Listen to this short episode, and let me know in the comments what you think of it and what are you doing if anything to help people caught up amidst this crisis.

Welcome everyone to yet

another episode of this show.

You know, it's interesting

the times

we are in now, we're barely out of Covid

and now Ukraine and Russia.

You know?

And it is what it is right.

I don't want to get into the politics of.

You know, Right and Wrong.

We all know we can sense,

you know, what is right or wrong.

All I know is that the War

may not be called in for.

Right, it's not justified.

But again,

it's what it is, right?

And as I was

thinking of

Ukraine, Russia, Putin and,

you know, many other such leaders; todays

leaders, modern day leaders,

you know, we end up questioning like,

why is it so hard?

Like, how can they decide such things?

And it's easy.

If you watch news constantly,

it's easy to get scared,

you know?

Yeah, and be fearful about

what's gonna happen next.

In fact.

Yesterday, only I was speaking

to my father,

who is in India,

and he was telling me, you know

that the news are saying

that there may be

attacks on UK and maybe UK

will get into the fight.

And you know, if that happens,

you must return home as soon as possible.

And.

And

I don't know

whether it will happen or not,

but I know that

the news are just overwhelming.

They are just boring and making,

you know, something microscopic

look such huge,

you know,

and I'm not denying that there are,

you know,

people are suffering in Ukraine.

There is what is happening in Ukraine.,by

all means, it's not justifiable.

You cannot put your head around and say

it's OK. At least

where, from where I sit and stand.

I cannot.

But as I was thinking about it

and I was watching all the news negative,

all the news

about people

who are protesting against,

you know,

Russia and Putin

and the police

in all the countries rallying up to ,

you know, create policies or, you know,

declare Russia as war crimes and all that

which again,

not getting into the politics

is also creating negative, right?

I was thinking.

That, you know, all that negative

is just feeding

the monster and making

that monster bigger than that it is.

All the negative.

And if you keep hitting,

you know,

I almost want to say "Don't HATE Putin

because he's going to thrive on it".

That monster, that energy,

you know, thrives on that hate.

Think of it.

You me,

anybody you know, anybody I know.

You know, the pets we have, the animals.

We know everything in this existence,

If you boil it down to the micro level,

its ENERGY

right to the smallest cells, atoms

it is just energy.

Everything is energy,

you know, the water, the sun,

the air, the food we eat.

Everything is energy.

And what we are doing, even this speaking

you listening is energy,

it's the

transformation of energy

from one form to another.

And that's all

is happening in

this existence, is

just from one form of energy

to another form of energy, right

?

And we all have been given

every day a limited set of energy,

every day

we wake up

with a certain amount of energy

and we may spend it all

or we may spend it some,

but we have been given

limited amount of energy

in a day to spend and use, right?

Yes, we often focus on time

that we have limited time,

but we're actually in reality.

We have limited energy.

Time is what humans created, right?

Time is a

construct of

humans, whereas

energy has been given to us.

Energy is what keeps us alive.

Everything is energy right?

And we have a limited amount of it

to spend every day.

Right,

our thoughts, our emotions.

This is all energy.

And whenever we focus our mind,

wherever we've put our attention on.

We spend that energy on that thing.

So if you are thinking about

something nice,

somebody you love,

something you didn't pass.

Or some holiday that you want to go.

Your attitude

like you're

spending your attention on thinking about

just spending your energy there.

Your allergy is being expended

in the form of thoughts

and emotions you having for that.

So anything that you think

puts your attention on.

You are spending that energy

on that thing.

Now that could be something nice

or something you don't like.

Maybe it's forward.

Maybe something happened in the morning.

Maybe somebody said

something in the meeting.

Maybe it's news.

Maybe it's Putin.

Maybe it's by then.

Whatever it is, right doesn't matter.

Maybe it's more.

Do maybe stop

whoever you want to spend your energy on.

Maybe it's a wife, children,

but.

Whatever you are

putting your attention on,

it is taking that analogy, or let's say

you had 100 units of energy and a day

you're spending your energy

of that 100 units

on something like that,

something could be put in there,

something could be Ukraine,

that something could be a work,

that something could be a family.

Whatever you're doing,

you're spending that money out,

that units of energy out.

The question is,

how do you spend it consciously

or is somebody stealing, right?

When news, when social media,

when your friends, you or a boss

who is bully or a customer

who is yelling at you or whatever, right?

Somebody

grabbing your attention,

taking your attention away from you.

They are stealing that energy from you

because you're not consciously giving,

because you're reacting.

It is not a response.

It's not a conscious response

that you're doing.

So in a way, it's being stolen.

It's being robbed out of you,

and you're not even aware.

Let's put this analogy into two frames

for easier

understanding, there's positive

there's a negative right.

Let's see

what whatever Putin is doing

is all negative, right?

We don't like it.

Everybody is against it.

It's negative.

It's war is skill sets suffering.

It's just not needed, right?

And it's negative.

So all those decisions

are coming out of that.

Negative energy

is creating something negative.

And here we are,

we are reading the social media,

which is being negative

about all that negative is being done.

And then we are creating

negative thoughts

that are resulting in negative emotions

and more negative and negative negative.

Look, how big is the negative getting

through the SATs, science

or math, negative

and negative makes positive.

It just grows

right was Putin's negative

and this is our negative.

And now it's this big.

This is why his timing on

all the hate that people media

everybody is giving him

because it's just getting

bigger, bigger, bigger.

Yes.

And we,

you know, break at some point,

it may just burst out, but right now

is becoming such a big thing.

And that is why it is important to

consciously think of

what you're doing with your energy.

The let's have a radical idea

actually is not radical, it's radical

to say it now,

but it has been shown and proven

throughout the ages.

You know, thousands of years ago,

all the mistakes

and the ways

beings that walked through this hole

have talked about it

as often in all over scriptures as see

instead of focusing their energy.

On hearing Putin, how about love Ukraine

or how about sending some

love to Putin?

The had soles lately

far out

to love somebody who is doing all that

chaos right,

who is creating all the mess.

And I understand it right?

You have to be at certain

conscious levels to be able to do that.

But for a minute,

for just entertaining me, for just this

moment, few just think of it.

Dan is creating.

All the negative energy, right?

All the West mess, mess,

if we start sending some love that side

and form of avatars, emotion and energy

and just create some love there.

So the negative.

War mass negative.

Our response

prayers love positive flight

when they collide, it's just got a

it's not going to grow up, it's going to.

Help bring this negative, right?

And I know it seems so far out,

it seems airy fairy.

Trust me, it works like people

who are consciously

doing that looks.

You know, this is why Mother Teresa

now never went in a

rally against the law

or rally against violence.

She was always there in our rally

in Forbes, so she was always on

the positive side of things

rather than being engaged in something.

Because when you being

against something,

you are just creating

negative and negative,

it just thrives on it.

So all these leaders thrive on ride

and other thing to think of her

as somebody who was acting like this,

like Putin, is just beautiful.

Was just afraid

of losing something, right?

The thing is the buildings,

the more days of the world,

they are afraid.

Why else will you create the hate?

You only create hate

because you lack love.

You know Lao Tzu says,

"Love is a decision,

it's not an emotion ".

That means you can decide to love.

I am not sayin love

Putin's decision of war, love war.

I'm saying just send love to Putin.

What do you do when somebody is sick?

You give them love, right?

What do you do when somebody is afraid?

Give them love.

Right, that's

the only thing that conquers.

That man

sitting in there is afraid, is sick,

so send love.

I also wanted to read some quotes

before I end this episode

with what I wrote.

Rumi says "Love is the bridge

between you and everything".

He also said

"Through love, bitter things seem sweet;

through love

bits of copper are made Gold".

You know, if you cannot give love,

if you cannot send love.

How about stop

spending your negative energy

and emotions, reactions to that,

do something positive with whatever

you're feeling?

You know, donate to a charity

that's supporting Ukraine,

you know, create videos,

create awareness, helps

the people

of Ukraine in your own ways, right?

I've seen so many incredible things

being done on social media

to support those

causes to help the people

on the ground other than just seeing

within is all the negative stuff.

Everything that makes you afraid,

hateful, angry, just totally, you know,

already give it a break and maybe

look at things

that people are doing to make it better.

Help them,

you know,

by contributing

your time, money and friendship,

whatever you can.

And that probably is a better way

to handle the situation.

So I'll end this episode.

But just this little piece of writing

that I thought about this morning

while meditating and hopefully.

It reaches you out in the place

that it reached me today.

Hate cannot win hate,

only love can.

Hate cannot cure

sickness, only Love can.

Hate cannot remove

fear., only love can.

And hate

cannot create freedom,

only love can.

For when you love,

And when you give love.

You are one

with who you truly are.

So give love, give love,

give love.

Thank You.
