The
fragrance of flowers does not go against the flow of wind; but the perfume of
virtues spreads in all directions.
Acharya Shri Ram
I
will be calmly active, actively calm. I will not become lazy and mentally
ossified. Nor will I be overactive, able to earn money but unable to enjoy
life. I will meditate regularly to maintain true balance.
An
average person feels happy in response to happy events and miserable in the
face of sad events. Such a person is tossed by the tides of the external world,
and happiness becomes purely accidental. To attain tranquility, you must learn
not to be influenced by external circumstances. That is the only way to find
the state of stillness within. Once you know how to remain still, you can study
both the external and the internal worlds.
YOUR DESTINY
You are what your deep driving desire is.
As your deep driving desire is, so is your
will
As your will is, so is your deed.
As your dead is, so is your destiny
An
outstanding and fantastic message for life time-
You will definitely succeed in your life if
you follow all the advices that you give to others.
If you possess health and wealth, but have
trouble with everybody (including yourself), yours is not a successful life.
Existence become futile if you cannot find happiness.
When
wealth is lost, you have lost a little;
When
health is lost, you have lost something of more consequence;
When
peace of mind is lost, you have lost the highest treasure.
Success
should be measured by the yardstick of happiness; by your ability to remain in
peaceful harmony with cosmic laws. Success is not rightly measured by the
worldly standards of wealth, prestige, and power. None of these best
happiness unless they are rightly used. To use them rightly, one
must possess wisdom and love for God and men.
Happiness
depends to some extent upon external conditions, but chiefly upon mental
attitudes. In order to be happy one should have good health, a well balanced
mind, a prosperous life, the right work, a thankful heart, and, above all,
wisdom and knowledge of God. Do not make unhappiness a chronic habit, thereby
afflicting yourself and your associates. Do not wait for your circumstances to
change, thinking falsely that in them lies the trouble. A strong
determination to be happy will help you. That power to be happy comes through
meditation.
There
are always two forces warring against each other within us. One force tells us
to do the things we should not do; and the other urges us to do the things we
should do, the things that seem difficult. One voice is that of evil, and the
other is that of good, or God.
Through
difficult daily lessons you will sometime see clearly that bad habits nourish
the tree of unending material desires, while good habits nourish the tree of
spiritual aspirations. More and more you should concentrate your efforts on
successfully maturing the spiritual tree, that you may someday gather the ripe
fruit of Self-realization.
If
you are able to free yourself from all kind of bad habits, and if you are able
to do good because you want to do good and not merely because evil brings
sorrow, then you are truly progressing in Spirit.
It
is only when you discard your bad habits that you are really a free man.
1. Always follow the
righteous path, and obey the rules so that you could be fearless and controller
of your destiny. A guilty person always feels restless even with the greatest
of comforts and wealth.
Fear Exhausts Life Energy
The
human brain is a storehouse of life energy. This energy is constantly employed
in muscular movements; in the working of the heart, lungs, and diaphragm; in
cellular metabolism and chemicalization of blood; and in carrying on the work
of the telephonic sensory motor system (the nerves). Besides this, a tremendous
amount of life energy is required in all processes of thought, emotion, and
will.
Fear
exhausts life energy; it is one of the greatest enemies of dynamic will power.
Fear causes the life force that ordinarily flows steadily through the nerves to
be squeezed out, and the nerves themselves to become as though paralyzed; the
vitality of the whole body is lowered. Fear doesn't help you to get away from
the object of fear; it only weakens your will power. Fear causes the brain to
send an inhibiting message to all bodily organs. It constricts the heart,
checks the digestive functions, and causes many other physical disturbances.
When the consciousness is kept on God, you will have no fears; every obstacle
will then be overcome by courage and faith.
2. Purification of Mind
The
mind when purified becomes calm and quiet. We can apply it wherever we want to.
Without grumbling it sticks to it. In this state, it develops a capacity of
concentration as its natural faculty. We can concentrate on whatever subject we
want to. The climax of concentration means total identification with the
object. On whatever objects or subject our mind concentrates, it becomes
identified with that. This capacity is there latent in the mind is so
significant for the realization of the self. The mind which is free from
desires, is always concentrated and open upwards, to the higher planes of
consciousness, and receives the knowledge and light and peace of the spirit
within itself.
A pure mind is a perfect
vessel to contain the nectar that flow from the self, ‘Atman’.
The power of spirit can
abide only in a pure and dedicated heart.
3. Put God's power behind
your efforts
You
should sit in silence before deciding about any important matter, asking the
Father for his blessings. Then behind your power is God's power; behind your
mind, His mind; behind your will, His will. When God is working with you, you
cannot fail; every faculty you possess will increase in power. When you do your
work with the thought of serving God, you receive His blessings.
Before embarking
upon important undertakings, sit quietly, calm your senses, and thoughts, and
meditate deeply. You will then be guided by the great creative power of Spirit.
After that, you should utilize all necessary material means to achieve your
goal.
4. Overcome your
difficulties
The
successful person may have had more serious difficulties to content with than
one who has failed but the former trains himself to reject the thought of
failure at all times. You should transfer your attention from failure to
success, from worry to calmness, from mental wanderings to concentration, from
restlessness to peace, and from peace to the divine bless within.
5. On Criticism and Misunderstanding
I
will not waste my time in talking about the faults of others. If I find myself
inclined to enjoy criticizing others I will first talk loudly against myself
before others. I will criticize no one unless asked by him to do so, and
then only with a desire to help. Many people excuse their own faults but
judge other persons harshly. We should reverse this attitude by excusing
others' shortcomings and by harshly examining our own.
6. The next attribute is titiksa - forbearance, tolerance, and
endurance at the physical mental and verbal level. Expand your capacity to face
every situation and circumstance that life brings. Coping with the world
requires endurance and forbearance.
7. The next quality of a successful man is self restraint, self
control, self master, and control over your senses. The activities of the
senses are the first step in to forming habit patterns. The conscious mind is
connected to the senses. It is through the senses that the conscious mind
interacts with the objects of the external world. If the mind is not trained
properly, then the senses become the guiding force and the poor mind follows
than helplessly.
HAVE A DEFINED GOAL, A
CLEAR VISION
Helen
Keller was indeed a distinctive personality. She was blind, dumb and deaf. Yet,
she made commendable achievements in her life. Once someone asked her –
"Ma'am, what do you think could be worse than being born blind?" In a
split second she replied – "To have sight but no vision!" If you go
through the autobiographies of great achievers, you will find them saying in
unison that the propelling force in their life was – a goal, a dream, a
mission, a target, a purpose- something that always kept them motivated. If you
don't have a goal in your life, you are never going to achieve what you could
have achieved.
I
do not know what I may seem to the world; but as to myself I seem to have
been only a boy playing on the sea shore, and diverting myself in now and then
finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great
ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.
Sir Isaac Newton
If you plant a seed and
dig it up daily to see if it is growing, it will never take roots.
I
feel for others as I feel for myself. I will work out my salvation by serving
my fellowman. I will take the best from every people. I will admire the good
qualities of all nationalities and will not put my attention on their errors.
