Don't waste your life, Trust in yourself

Nowadays when you open the newspaper, the news of someone's suicide is sure to be read. Most of these people are young, they are well-educated. The main reason for their suicide is the stress of modern life. Nowadays we have no habit of waiting for success. Now there is no tolerance inside us. Nowadays our only strategy is that work should be done instantaneously and should also get success immediately. Due to this habit everyone gets frustrated easily, and in this way the number of people who are committing suicide is increasing. We all love our life very much. But even then, sometimes due to the failure of any work, anger gets in our mind and frustration comes due to which our mind starts to commit suicide. But there are many people who overcome this idea of suicide but some people are also those who can not control this idea and take the wrong steps, so that they lose their life. The mentally sick people can not bear the defeat, due to which they can not handle the situation and take the wrong steps. Most often it happens that family members, colleagues, friends of such a person are not aware of his mental condition.Suicide is an attack against itself. There is a lot of competition in today's world. This makes everyone feel insecure. The effect of this is that even a small personal humiliation greatly influences our lives. Our self confidence is lost somewhere. Others do not suffer, so we do not reveal our anger. The result of this anger goes out in suicide. To avoid all this, we should try to keep our physical and mental health balanced. Increase your self confidence. Enjoy the small things of life with full heart. Strengthen the thread of love of your family. Keep your body healthy and keep your mind calm.

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

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.
