Pravasah,

It means Travel,

And what does that mean to you?


Generally people have two basic and important qualities which varies in different proportions with everyone. They are laziness and briskness. Both these qualities, at their peak, are very dangerous and could also be fatal. This could be put to test and also be corrected by one simple way, taking a break from the usual chores and going on traveling.

Traveling is such a nice activity for any individual, where he can release out all the stress that he/she had had it within oneself. Traveling gives you a chance to visit people, places and discover things that you would have never imagined of.

Not necessarily you would have to go to Brazilian mountain regions or the Alps to find out things like these, but any travel you do, be it a short distance or a long trip, there will be always something new, which could be a lesson that you have learned in your life, or a tap on your shoulder to tell you that you’re doing great, keep up the good work.

Unfortunately one cannot feel this unless he knows the reason why he’s traveling. There are many types of travel that are done in this world. Religious voyages, adventurous voyages or casual voyages to name a few. But out of all these, the one voyage that makes you feel complete is the one that you should make out of the trip, and there is no such voyage that will not give you this feel, its how much you can take from it.

The qualities of laziness and briskness do a very vital role in the traveling domain, it could break up your plan into pieces if either of this is not been controlled. Traveling will cure the above mentioned qualities; or rather it can be mentioned as diseases, and that’s the reason why traveling can be equivalent to taking medicines.

The reason for mentioning traveling as a cure for some diseases, is that it forces a man to change his qualities and accept to any circumstance or a scenario, and thus changing the qualities of a man, or rather can be specific as mentioning traveling a man’s character. So subsequently when a man changes, it means he gets cured of the abilities, and makes him a new and charged up person, the moment he comes back home after his break for travel.

So on the whole, the message to be conveyed is: take a break, enjoy life, feel the world, forget everything official, relax your mind, and sleep peacefully.


Get cured; Pack you bag!!!

What does it mean?

Concentration,  

And the following lines tell you what exactly it means and its necessity...

                     In order to perform a task or an activity well, it is necessary that the entire mind should be engaged upon that activity. To do anything well one must do only that thing at that time. And this is true w.r.t the action of the mind. The focusing of the entire power of the mind upon one thing is commonly known as concentration or "the power of attention".

                

                        This power of concentrating the entire mind upon the task in hand, is very essential, and that no great degree of mental power can ever be gained without it (concentration). In order to do anything with the mind, one must wish or must want to do it.

                 

                        And this choice or decision to do something is called 'the will'. The power to choose quickly & decisively and to act vigorously upon the choice is a very rare thing. One who has this power is said to have a strong will (power).

                        The question of will power and its development is most important. The difference between strong men and weak men, or between honored and the dishonored, or even simpler, between the master and his servants, is the 'will power'. A man of strong will is sure to succeed even if his talents(abilities) are mediocre; but a man of weak will, no matter what his talents are, is not as equally sure to succeed as the former.

                        The will, like any other mental ability, can be highly developed by training and practical exercises, which will put it in its proper place and also at the right time when anything is needed.

So ultimately, Concentration and Will Power are directly or indirectly related to each other, and if utilised in the best possible way, they'll take you places...!!!
