Spiritual Thinking is a great way to counter whiners.
1 Corinthians 10:10.
“nor grumble, as some of them did and were destroyed by the Destroyer.”.
James 5:9.
“Do not grumble against one another, brothers, so that you may not be judged; behold, the Judge is standing at the door.”.
Jude 1:16.
These people are grumblers and complainers, living only to satisfy their desires. They brag loudly about themselves,
1 Thessalonians 5:18.
“Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”.
Ephesians 4:29. “ 29
Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is pleasing to the use of edifying may minister grace.
Psalm 106:25.
“They murmured in their tents and did not obey the voice of the Lord.”.
Bhagwad Gita Chapter 2:10
When things do not go our way, we grumble, complain, and want to run away. But we must face them and conquer them.
There are enough whiners in this world, and they keep growing with social media, which helps them to whine. The more they whine, the more followers they have on social media. There is the saying, ‘Misery loves company,’ the company grows so big that people have made a big business of it and raised millions of dollars by constantly complaining about everything. They do this because they have no fresh ideas or vision to grow, be prosperous, happy, and contended. This is usually a childhood behavior, and social media has made it a contagion, and the social media owners are not even ashamed of themselves for being so greedy. Let us analyze how this whining behavior develops.
When a child is born, the newborn needs a way of communicating when they are hungry, experience any discomfort, or are wet, and at that stage, God has bestowed them with only one choice, and that is crying. They start to cry when they are hungry, wet, or having some pain somewhere. The initial response from the mother is to feed them, and when that does not work, she checks if the baby is wet, and then only she begins to think that there may be some cramps in the stomach. At this point, the baby has learned that crying got his attention. The babies are resilient and optimistic, and despite so many failures and falls, they slowly learn to crawl, sit up, and then walk, and this positive activity continues. However, they all always remember one thing: that crying gets attention. Positive babies outgrow that behavior and move on to learn other things that give them a lot of joy and happiness. But some remember only one thing, and that is ‘that crying gets attention. When they learn to speak, they are still interested in using the crying weapon but modified to complaining. Because of their obsession with crying and complaining, their knowledge and intellectual curiosity never develop, and so when they face others with intellect and knowledge since they cannot compete on that level, they resort to ‘crying and complaining’ as a means to push the others away until they find their kind following the principle. ‘misery loves company.’ As they grow into adults, they start using the ‘crying and whining’ along with another added quality, ‘Lying and Cheating and start looking for suckers who will believe them. This keeps [s growing and becomes such a menace that they add another quality, ‘intimidation,’ because they find people do not like the three other qualities and are trying to run away. Finally, suppose they manage to get a sizable number to join them and get elected. In that case, they become ‘Dictators,’ leading everyone to ‘Division and Destruction’ instead of ‘Unity and Construction.’ This is what happened, as I discussed in the previous post, where the ‘Kauravas’ were leading to the destruction of the Mahabharatha war until ‘Pandavas’ led by Lord Krishna and the chief warrior Arjuna were able to emerge victorious and establish a Peaceful world. More recently, America had to spearhead a war against the tyrants ‘Hitler and Mussolini’ and restore Peace in the world after World War II.
God, Divine Mind, Brahman is inside each of us 24/7, driving the engine of life from birth until death. He is the only Power in this Universe, and He does not share His Power with anyone, but He is the preserver of all Good. Since He is inside us all the time as Divine Mind, we can seek His help on any issue at any time, and He is ready to help us. However, to approach Him, we must clear all worldly illusions, fake news, lies, and negativity; this is done by affirming He is the only Power and meditating on this truth. When you meditate and contemplate, you eliminate all distracting thoughts derived from the human brain and ego, and your thoughts get synchronized with the Divine Mind inside, and you start seeing the truth clearly and get fresh ideas and solutions. This purified mind can counter all whining and complaining and enables you to have a vision and positivity. Even the whiners could change their habits if they realized that God is right inside them and will become optimistic and positive. They will need to say goodbye to their old habits. A prime example of always being positive despite all the adversity in his life from childhood is that of Joseph in History.
In the Old Testament, Joseph was the son of the patriarch Jacob and his wife Rachel. Jacob’s name became synonymous with all of Israel, so that of Joseph was eventually equated with all the tribes that made up the northern kingdom. According to tradition, his bones were buried at Shechem, the oldest shrine in the north (Joshua 24:32). His story is told in Genesis (37–50).
Joseph, the most beloved of Jacob’s sons, is hated by his envious brothers. Angry and jealous of Jacob’s gift to Joseph, a resplendent “coat of many colors,” the brothers seize him and sell him to a party of Ishmaelites, or Midianites, who carry him to Egypt. There, Joseph eventually gained the favor of the pharaoh of Egypt through his interpretation of a dream and obtained a high place in the pharaoh’s kingdom. His acquisition of grain supplies enabled Egypt to withstand famine. Driven by the same famine, his brothers journey from Canaan to Egypt to obtain food. They prostrate themselves before Joseph but do not recognize him. After Joseph reconciles with his brothers, he invites Jacob’s whole household to come to Goshen in Egypt, where a settlement is provided for the family and their flocks. His brothers’ sale of Joseph into slavery thus proves providential in the end since it protects the family from famine. The family’s descendants grew and multiplied into the Hebrews, who eventually departed from Egypt for Israel.
Let us conclude this post with the Universal Prayer of Swami Sivananda:

- आध्यात्मिक रूप से सोचें जन्म से लेकर हमारी अंतिम सांस तक, एक सर्वोच्च शक्ति हमारे भीतर रहती है, जो हमें सांस लेने देती है, सभी भौतिक अंगों को काम करने देती है, और हमें मार्गदर्शन करने के लिए पांच इंद्रियां देती है। ईश्वर, ब्रह्म, यहोवा, अल्लाह, ईश्वरीय मन आदि जैसे विभिन्न नामों से पुकारी जाने वाली यह शक्ति जीवन का इंजन है। यह दैवीय मन हमारी कभी भी मदद कर सकता है जब हम भगवान की मदद मांगते हैं। ईश्वरीय मन का हम पर पूरा नियंत्रण है, लेकिन हम केवल पुष्टि के माध्यम से उससे अपील कर सकते हैं कि ईश्वर सब कुछ है और इस ब्रह्मांड में सभी कारण और प्रभाव के लिए एकमात्र शक्ति है। वह हमारे मानवीय विचारों को इस दिव्य मन के साथ मिला कर 24/7 हमारे बीच मौजूद है। परमेश्वर अपने विचारों को हम तक पहुँचाता है। निरंतर प्रार्थना और प्रतिज्ञान के माध्यम से यह तुल्यकालन अभ्यस्त हो जाता है, और हम शांति, सद्भाव, समृद्धि और खुशी का आनंद लेते हैं। इसे आध्यात्मिक सोच कहा जाता है और यह हमारे जीवन में शांतिपूर्ण आनंद की रीढ़ है।
