A working definition of intention is: ‘to have in mind a purpose or plan, to direct the mind, to aim’, making it seem much the same as a goal.

Let us see how? Does a soul enter the mother’s womb during conception or in the course of pregnancy? Understand that the soul doesn’t ‘enter’. If you are using the word ‘soul’ as an alte ate to the Sanskrit word ‘atma’ then this is wrong choice of word. Firstly, the right choice of word would be the individual soul, the ‘jivatma’ not the ‘atma’ and secondly, the timing of the individual soul to enter the womb is not during or post-conception.ARTArticleKnowledge through SelfKnowledge through Selfrn(Vinod Anand) Self knowledge is neither gained by explanations and descriptions nor by the instructions of others but by direct experience.

Ask only one question, “Who am I? How do I know myself?” When you ask this question, then all self-doubts will vanish. When we are not interested in knowing our own selves, we waste time on many things.ARTArticleLet Us Be KindLet Us Be Kindrn(Vinod Anand) Take the everyday scenario of a traffic jam in the city. When cars are piled up and tempers run high, two auto-rickshaws coming ‘from different directions practically touch each other. Each wants to claim right of way and neither wants to budge and relent.
