Sraddha copied from Amma Bhakti

[Guest guest]

" The meaning of sraddha* is to be constantly aware. But this is only possible

when you are relaxed. A tense, agitated person, who is constantly thinking about

his failures in life, cannot be watchful, nor can he be fully aware of the

present moment. It is the same with a person who keeps dreaming about the

future. Both of these moods will make you inert; you lose your creativity and

cannot be productive. Relaxation, however, will enhance your awareness and bring

out your real being. Only a relaxed person can be ever watchful and aware. "

~ Amma
