The role of having a correct Belief.

            On this boring weekend, I was looking into some videos which was in my laptop and by chance, got to watch a 5 minute video on the topic ‘Belief’ by TT Rangarajan.

              In our lives, based on the belief we have, we would start to deal with any individual. Irrespective of any relationship or any bonding we have with them, the way we behave totally depends on the belief we have about that individual.

            I’d like to quote an example which was said in that video, "In the great epic Mahabharata, even though Duryodhana, who had immense trust over his friends and wife, was not at all respected as everyone had the belief that he belongs to the “bad side”.

            Whereas in the epic Ramayana, lord Ram, even though had asked queen Seetha to jump into the fire to prove her purity, is seen with immense devotion and respect as the belief towards lord Ram is so much positive.

The belief we have towards anyone makes us judge on the deeds done by that individual!

           I personally had a belief regarding one of my writer friend as a sharp critic,who would criticize without seeing much of the effects, this belief actually blurred my vision regarding her and made me think that everything she says is criticism, which actually were not.

            The bad deeds done by any individual whom we believe to be a good is generalized and slips away as something very bad, whereas good deeds done by any individual who we believe to be bad, would obviously go unnoticed!

           I remember an instance where in all had a notion that one of our classmates as a miser! There was a firm belief in our minds that he would not spend anything irrespective of him earning or having a good amount of money.

             So even when he literally spends money for some good cause of so, there would be a false notion in our minds that he does that in order to derive some future economic benefit and not without any good reasons.

             Ending this with a small quote, again from the video itself, “If the quality of our relationship with almost anything has to improve then the quality of belief in that relationship has to change”.

            We can never have a good relationship with any one when we have a negative belief about them. No matter what, our belief plays a role in dealing anything with an individual.

As soon as our belief towards anyone/anything changes, All other things would change by itself.
