in the topic of convergence of psychology, psychology and spirituality technology has increased our outer power psychology deals with how we interpret what the outer world shows to us happiness and distress are not just one step process they are two step processes what happens and how we interpret it determines how we experience it give the example of ice cream not being there in the party for a person who loves ice cream a person who loves but has got diabetes and then we talk about how spirituality can provide us the power of purpose and before we went to that I discussed about technology and psychology their union can lead to negative effects two main negative effects do you remember what those two effects we talked about two Ds, distraction and depression yeah thank you so distraction is where in small stages our energy gets dissipated over 100 things and we get exhausted without really doing what we wanted to do like our phone getting discharged by background apps and depression is where we compare ourselves with people who seem to be happier than what they are as they are portrayed on the mainstream media or the social media so instead of that if we connect with ourselves then such negative effects we can avoid and for that I talked about two things two Ds, direction and discretion so direction is what is truly important for us so if we can take some time for meditation which essentially means disconnecting ourselves from outer scene and our inner screen and focusing on what truly matters for us our deepest desire should not disappear within but they should drive us from within and then once we have the direction then we can get discretion discretion is where we look at things based on their consequence not their appearance and I discussed about how we can find out one thing which tastes like poison for us initially but which is like nectar eventually and one thing which is like nectar initially but turns out to be poison eventually and for reorienting ourselves we can begin with SSS, what was that? simple small step begin with something which you are confident of doing and where in a time measured way you gain success once you gain that success, gain that confidence then you can step forward and thus we can move forward in our spiritual evolution, once the power of purpose channels our inner power and outer power we will surprise ourselves with how creative and effective we can be thank you very much
