Make better use of time

Time does not wait for anyone. While flowing through the stream of time, we should make a good use of it. Make it meaningful to yourself. Making life worthwhile means that we get satisfaction. We should strive for meaningfulness of life. Some people, if they take time to harass others, cheat and deceive them, then they can get immediate relief from them but in the long run, there is a burden on the mind. Satisfaction can never come in their lives. Therefore, your time should be spent in those tasks that give you true satisfaction. Money can not bring satisfaction in your life. When you go behind the money, you always want more and more. But when you bring compassion in your life, you get satisfaction and happiness. Then reality of life is realized. Our goal should be to get this satisfaction. Pain and happiness all organisms feel equally. Even trees express their senses, but humans have intelligence that separates them from others. But intelligence has become a cause for many problems. Intellect has become the reason for man's stress today. The well-educated people live in tension because they live life with expectations and fear. Because of these they have worries in their mind. The thinking of animals is instantaneous but we think of past and future too. We do not think of our own lives but also think about the generations. That is why we make a place for worry in life. Scientists say that if regular fear, anger, and hatred remain in your mind then it causes great harm to the body. The quiet brain is most important. Honest and true people win faith and friendship with them runs long. Whether you believe or not, such people find satisfaction. As long as your mind is full of different kinds of thinking, you can not find peace. When the brain is not full of many things then the body and mind are better.

Do not waste precious time

A fisherman picked up his net and walked towards the river. He saw that the day has not come out completely, then he started walking along the bank of the river. Suddenly something collided with his feet. When he picked it up, he found that it is a small pouch full of small stones. The sun was still a bit late, so the fisherman kept the net on one side and trying to spend his time by throwing that small stones into the river one by one. He was going to throw the last stone but then the sun came out. In light, he saw that there was not a stone in his hands but a precious diamond. The fisherman was very sad for his mistake. But now nothing could have happened. This is often the same with us. Like the fisherman, we destroy precious things like diamonds or do not use that things in the right way due to our ignorance. Time is also one of that precious things and also the most important. Initially, we do not understand its value and when its value is understood, then it is too late. Do not waste your precious time like fisherman wasted the diamonds, it is not fair in any way. Still the diamonds that are left in time, do not destroy them like a fisherman by creating an excuse of darkness. Be aware and at least keep them in hand. Darkness is a symbol of ignorance and light is a symbol of knowledge, consciousness and awareness. As long as ignorance continues, we will not be able to properly evaluate precious things like our virtues and save them from being destroyed. When the light of knowledge, consciousness and awareness comes into life then only we try to save our precious qualities from being destroyed. Therefore, we should always strive to acquire knowledge, develop consciousness and bring awareness. Artificial darkness cannot obstructed our path when we are truly awakened.

Set your goal for a successful life

Several camels were going along with their owner at the desert plain. Seeing the darkness, the owner ordered to stay in a tavern. 99 camels were tied with ropes, but there was shortage of one rope for a camel. They tried lot much for finding a new rope, but they did not get it. Then the owner of the tavern advised that you have to give a false feeling to the camel that he too has been tied to the rope. The camels owner was shocked to hear this, but there was no other way, so he did the same. Now the camel thought that he was tied. He sat down and slept. When 99 ropes of camels opened in the morning, all the camels got up and walked, but one camel kept sitting. The camels  owner was surprised, he did not even tied the camel with rope, but still camel was not getting up. The owner of the tavern explained that the camel is not tied to the rope for you, but according to the camel he is tied to the rope so far. Now make the camel realize that you have opened the rope. After this the camel got up and walked. Friends, it also happen with humans, we are bound with similar ropes that  actually do not exist. Humans are bound by their own wrong attitude, from the wrong thinking, by holding the opposite beliefs. Such people consider the truth as a lie in their entire life and believe the lie to be true. They live double life. There is a long distance in its ideal and conduct, therefore it is necessary that whenever the mind of man awakens, first determine the goal. Walking without purpose, it will only give you fatigue, disappointment and frustration, not the target. The only way to make life successful is to set your goal and work in that direction.

Keep your mind free from anxiety

whenever a boat loads more stuff than its capacity, then it starts to wobble. In such a situation, it is necessary to remove some of the luggage from the loaded goods in order to save the boat from drowning. There is no possibility of boat sinking when the luggage is low. If all the stuff of the same kind. then any item can be dumped out, but if there are many types of goods, then the question arises, which goods to be thrown out of the boat. Naturally, the luggage will be thrown out first, which is either worthless or cheapest. Our life boat is also like the same situation. When it starts to waver, it is necessary to throw away the unwanted stuff that is loaded so that it can easily reach its destination. Now the question arises, how can it be known that what is worthless in our life boat, which is necessary to throw off and what is precious, which is necessary to be saved in any case. Concerns in life are natural but we often get ridiculous worries that have nothing to do with our lives. If we are not free from these concerns, then the burden of such futile worries creates a disruption in the smooth flow of our life boat. Apart from this, any negative thoughts or disorders that arise in our lives, they all stop our life boat from moving ahead. It is important for us to analyze our properties and to try to get rid of the deficiencies as soon as possible. Also, be aware that our demerits should go away but virtue should not end in any way. Religion, wealth, work (work, desire and sex) and salvation or liberation are considered as four human qualities. These four are important places in our lives. To neglect any of these, there is a direct meaning of imbalance in life. Due to these imbalances, the boat of our life starts shaking. To save the life boat from the sinking and to carry it in the right way, there is no other way other than lack of flaws and balance in action.

Everything happens according to his will

In the third chapter of the Gita, it has been said that all of our deeds are actually done by nature's qualities, but those who are ignorant and whose hearts are fascinated by the ego, they understand that they have done these deeds. I do this, by keeping this ego they bind themselves in many kinds of bonds. Those who are caught in such ego, their life becomes like hell. After all what is this ego, which is harmful, even though we are not ready to leave it. A wise man has said that the fulfillment of ego is not achieved by getting something, but by getting more than the other person. In Indeed, ego means to prove itself superior to others. Because of this, people tend to greed so that they can appear richer than others, try to suppress others so that they can prove their rulership and want to fool others so that they can prove to be wise. Remember, the work of ego is to show itself higher than others. The ego is the name of the instinct of superiority of comparison with others. History is a witness of how great civilizations, powerful dynasties and empires fell into the hands of egoistic, arrogant, and arrogant rulers and wiped out their original existence. There are many such incidents in Mahabharata when Lord Sri Krishna destroyed the pride of Arjuna, and called that pride as the biggest obstacle in the process of God's attainment. Similarly, in the Ramayana, there is an incident of pride of Narada and they feel that how they are becoming so dissatisfied with God due to their false pride. We should not forget this fact that if any one is the most important in the world then it is the Almighty God, who does not have the ego of his power. It is better that we get rid of ego forever, otherwise it is a dangerous disease which can ruin our entire life.

The first step of happiness is satisfaction

Helping the poor and hoping for happiness in grief is a natural human behavior. If we really want to know the secret of life then we have to first understand ourselves. If you are interested in seeing yourself, then your desire will end to see others. The great boxer Mohammed Ali also said that the best way to make dreams true is to get awake. There are many people in this world who worry more about the future than the present. Worrying for the future is not a bad thing, but when this anxiety comes to mind and heart, then it takes the form of sickness. Today i have, whether it will last tomorrow or not, many people have lost their happiness in this worry. This is a kind of mental illness. It does not have any medical treatment, but it can be treated only by a knowledgeable person or a psychologist. Benjamin Disraeli says that circumstances are not in the control of human beings, but behavior is in the hands of a man. The first step of happy life is satisfaction. In today's world it is very difficult to find a satisfied person. Some people are worried about the family and some are concerned about the business. Some people are unhappy because they do not get much, and some people are sad to see others. No one is satisfied with what they have, all are worried about seeking more. No one can be happy with such thinking. Development is also unbalanced due to lack of satisfaction. If there is no development of humanity or its development speed is very slow, then a major imbalance will arise. It is already happening like this. The inflow of wealth has increased but the source of consciousness is drying up. Day by day, Man is becoming cruel and merciless. The great philosopher Acharya Mahapragya has said that if you want to become a man in a real sense, then you should have self-realization. Whether you get pleasure in this world or not, but if you attain enlightenment then you will never consider yourself poor and you will be satisfied in every field of life.

Quit ego and start learning

Learning process starts with taking birth on earth. As we grow up, the learning process also extends. Soon, we learn to get up, sit, speak and walk. With this process of growing up, sometimes our ego becomes bigger than us and then we start making mistakes and quit learning. This ego blocks our development path. Talking about this thing, I am remembering an incident which would be good to discuss here. Once upon a time, A man who was a great thinker, went to a saint. Various topics started to be discussed between both of them. That man said to the saint, I have acquired enough knowledge through deep study and experience but I want to know more.

Can you help me a little? The saint knew that he has a great knowledge of his subjects, which he has some pride, so doing nothing will not work, so he took a blank paper after thinking for a while and gave it to that man and said. It is a good thing to say that you want to learn something, but how can I explain that what you have learned till now and what have not you learned? So saint said, whatever you know and whatever you do not know, write about both of them on this paper. It is useless to discuss, what you already know and it will be right to talk about what you do not know.

The thing was simple but something difficult for that man. His pride of being knowledgeable has become shattered. That man knew a lot about the subject of soul and divine, but he did not know anything about the other things. He listened to the saint's words and got into thinking. Even after thinking a lot of time, when he did not understand anything, he gave that blank paper to saint and said, sir, I do not know anything. Today you opened my eyes. The saint was very impressed with the words of that man and said, well, now you have learned the first thing to know that you do not know anything. This is the first step of knowledge. Now you are able to learn something because empty vessel can be filled, but it is not possible to fill even one drop of knowledge in the heart filled with ego.

Do not keep the burden of thoughts on your consciousness

When there is a lot of burden of thoughts on our consciousness, there is unrest in mind, then understand that consciousness has been imprisoned, it has been locked. Happiness can only get by going beyond this imprisonment. There are two ways of live life - one is contemplation and second is realization. Most people get entangled in different types of thoughts, they live less because they think of life as a way of thinking. They understand intellectualism as a self-realization. They read religious texts and philosophy and understand that all knowledge will be available to them. The information of all theories also gives them the illusion that they have become theologians. Due to this misconception, they start sharing knowledge with others. They do not even realize that all this knowledge is borrowed, stale. This type of knowledge cannot enlighten the life of any person, rather it remains scared that somewhere your mind should not be affected by any kind of ego.

In this case, whatever the person does, it is within the purview of the mind. It does not break the prison walls of the mind, but gets even stronger. Now the question is how to open this lock. The experienced person's conclusion is that meditation is the key from which this lock opens and samadhi is the solution. The effort to think or go beyond the limit of your mind makes us free from all things. There is one method of Jain seekers in Japan is to calm down breathing, slow down its pace, and slow down. It becomes so slow that it reaches 4 to 5 breaths in 1 minute. Here the breathing becomes calm and the thoughts begin to calm down. When you are in fear, anger, or some kind of excitement or lust, notice that your breath starts running at a faster pace and you lose your temper. The inconvenience of breath makes the world of thoughts within you. Therefore, Jain seekers do not fight with or control their thoughts. Both Buddhism and Jainism followed the same technique to calm down their mind. This technique has proved to be very effective for meditation.

Different levels of understanding of people

Once Buddha was preaching somewhere. At the end of his discourse, he said, "Wake up time is going out of hand". After the end of the discourse, he told his beloved disciple "Anand" that let's move around a little bit. Anand went along with Buddha. They just reached Vihar's main door and stood on one side. The people who came to hear the discourse were coming out one by one. So there was a lot of crowd. Suddenly, a woman came out to meet Gautam Buddha. She said I am a dancer. Today, there was a dance function in someone house which was already fixed but I forgot about it. You said that "Wake up time is going out of hand", so I immediately remembered that point.

After that one Dacoit came to Buddha. He said that I will not hide anything from you. I had forgotten that today I had to go to a place for robbery. And after hearing your sermon today I remembered this, thank you very much. After he went, slowly an old man came to Buddha. The old man said that I ran away behind the world's things in my whole life and now a day has come near to face death and now I feel that whole life has become useless. And after listening to your discourse today my eyes are open. From today, I want to leave all my worldly desires and try for Nirvana.

When all the people went from there, Buddha said to his disciple Anand, "Look, I had given only one and the same discourse." But everyone took a different meaning from that. It shows that everyone can gain knowledge according to their understanding. The higher is your understanding level, the more you can attain knowledge. Our mind should also be worth it to get Nirvana. To attain Nirvana, it is very important for the mind to be pure.

As you think, So shall you become (Motivational story)

Once an addict of alcohol went to a saint and said in a gentle voice, Guru Ji, I am very sad with the addiction of this alcohol. Because of this, my home is being ruined. My children are starving, but I can not live without alcohol. The peace of my home has been gone. Please tell me some simple tips so that I can get the peace of my home again. Saint said that when this addiction damages you so much, why do not you leave it?  He said, dear Saint, I want to give up liquor, but this is in my blood so much that I am not taking the name of quitting the alcohol. He said, Dear Saint, I want to quit the alcohol but I do not know why despite trying so much, I am not able to quit alcohol. It looks like alcohol has kept me alive. Saint laughed and said that tomorrow you will come again and I will tell you how to leave alcohol? On the second day, that person went to the Saint again. By seeing him, the Saint stood up and grabbed a pillar tightly. When that person looked at Saint in this condition, then he was standing for some time but when Saint did not leave the pillar even after a while, he did not remain calm and asked why he has kept this pillar in vain? The Saint said, I have not caught this pillar, this pillar is holding my body. I want it to leave me, but this is not going to leave me. The person wondered and he said. Dear Saint, I drink alcohol but I am not a fool. You have deliberately held this pillar tightly. Saint said, Dear person, I want to explain you the same thing that As i hold the pillar by myself but the pillar did not hold me such like that this alcohol has not caught you, but the fact is that you have caught the alcohol. You were saying that alcohol is not leaving me, whereas the truth is that you should firmly believe in your mind that I have to give up this addiction now, so at the same time you will lose your habit of drinking alcohol. Every action of the body is controlled by the mind and if your desire power is strong you can successfully do any work. That person was so impressed by the saint's words that he decided to never drink alcohol in the future. Happiness returned to his home and he started living peacefully.

Moral of the Story

This story tells us that if you have determination to do something in your life then you can face every problem and achieve everything. Because every action of the body is controlled by the mind and if you conquer your mind you can conquer the world. And it is said that As you think, So shall you become.
