How can a person get himself out of bad habits?

Q. How can a person get himself out of bad habits? 
Whenever a bad habit arises in your mind, immediately become aware as if you wake up from a dream from your sleep. At that moment, they remain for a while. But due to your awakening, those dreams start dissolving very fast. Just look at the bad habits arising in your mind with this awakening, this awareness. Watch that habit overpower you. Just look at that habit. Do not have to hold nor consider that it is wrong, it is right. With just witness, closed eyes, see those habits in front of your mind's eyes as if you are watching a picture. In a few days you will catch the awareness. You will know what is alertness? What is being alert? 
Now whenever a bad habit arises in your mind, become alert for a few moments and watch this habit dissolve in front of the awareness like a dream. Any of your bad habits will easily disappear.

23. Can I consider my pet cat to be my spiritual master? No, because a domesticated cat is not as alert or attentive as a wild cat. The wild cat does not walk on built paths. All his actions arise with alertness. But a pet cat, having all the comforts, can become relaxed, lose its alertness. It can be your slave.  How dangerous is the word 'pet'. Can you pet a guru? And the guru who agrees to be domesticated loses being a master. If the cat has to be made a master, then make a wild cat, which is not pet. You can learn to be aware, alert or attentive to it. Pay attention to that how conscious it is to walk, get up, eat. She also appears awake in sleep. You can enter spirituality through this awareness. Learn to be alert like a wild cat. The cat would be spiritual or not you will become spiritual.

Bhagvat Gita

Explain the essence of Gita in your own words. The soul is beyond birth and death, but you do not know it. On knowing it, you are situated in your soul, who has never been born and will never die. This is the state of salvation, this is self-achievement. After getting that, you rise above all sorrows and happiness and always live in bliss. This is the enlightenment state. By thinking about things, you become attached to them. Because of that you leave your soul and do work to get things, which causes misery.  No human being lives without work. Therefore, you should do work without attachment, located in your soul. This is the work-free stage. Doing no work, leaving the world and is not renunciation. Because wherever you go the world will follow you with your mind. Therefore, it is renunciation to rise above your mind while living in the world.  Wherever this fickle mind wanders, it should be removed from there and put it in soul, in your being so that you can be si...

The Race

What is in the race of life, which is often missed? Life itself is left in the race of life. Life is not a race. When all your races stop, you realize life.  We have seen everyone running in our lives, and we have also learned to run. We are just running. We do not even know why we are running. Where do we want to go? Do you know what life is? What is my being? Who am I? Where am I from? Where have I to go or I am just running without any reason. You will not get anywhere from this race, and you will regret when there is no running power.  The purpose of life is life itself. But we    know the race and forge life. Know the life and forget the race. Life will live by itself. Leave yourself to life. flow through the stream of life. One day you will find the sea. Now don't ask what is life? Have to know life, have to live.
