What is the core problem with expectations?

According to Vethathiri Maharishi, expectations are the primary source of disappointment and suffering. He taught that imaginary expectations stemming from greed or inefficiency block us from peace and are the root cause of worry, sorrow, and depression.

Why do expectations lead to disappointment?

Expectations inherently lead to disappointment because they are a one-sided demand. This cycle occurs because our expectations are often misaligned with reality, providence, or the actions of others.

What is Vethathiri Maharishi's method for managing expectations?

Vethathiri Maharishi's method is a two-step process: Introspection to identify and purify imprints of unfulfilled desires and expectations, and Blessing, which transforms the energy of expectation into a positive, non-attached wave of goodwill.

How does a Blessing work?

Based on Vethathiri Maharishi's Wave Theory, a blessing is a potent tool that sends positive vibrations. A person who practices blessing radiates beneficial waves that can transform toxic situations. It is an act of giving energy, whereas expectation is an act of demanding it.
