A boy named Namdev was playing outside the house. His mother called him and said, Son, take out the bark of a tree, I need to make an essential medicine. The boy went to the forest as soon as the mother's order was received. In the forest, he scratched the tree bark with a knife and returned with it, but the liquid was dripping from it. On the way back from the forest, he found a Saint. The saint asked, what is this Namdev in your hand? Namdev replied, taking the tree bark to make medicine. Saint said, do you not know that damaging the green tree is unrighteous? Trees also have life. They are considered to be gods and worshiped. When the Vaidya breaks the leaves of a tree, firstly they join hands and pray that we are hurting you for the purpose of saving others lives. This is the law of our culture. The saint's words have a profound effect on Namdev. Namdev reached home with deep thinking. He gave the tree bark to the mother and sat in the corner of the room and peeling his foot skin with a knife. When her mother saw blood on his son's foot, then she was suddenly shocked and said, Are you gone mad, what are you doing ? Namdev replied, Saint had said that trees also have life. I am trying to figure out by peeling my foot skin and understand how much pain the tree will have when I was removing the bark of tree. Mother embraced her son. She understood that he has been greatly affected by saint's words. Later this child became famous with the name Namdev, and he saw Lord in each and everyone.
Do not lose today for tomorrow
Time is divided into past, present and future. But the greatest truth of time is present. Sometimes the past was also present and there will also be a future. Therefore present is the most important in every situation. If you do not know how to be happy at present, then you can never be happy. If you get this sound from your mind that you will be happy in the future then it also means that you are not happy at present. You have to learn to be happy at present. You should give the highest importance to your happiness in every situation. You should find happiness in today and not to waste your energy in thinking that what you will be in future. It also does not mean that you should work without any plan. You should have a plan but there is a difference between plan and dream. You should live the happiness that you get today. Be happy and enjoy your future goals with happiness. If you start living in today then your work will not be stressful, you will find it interesting and life will also be a joyous journey. Then you will find happiness in today and will not wait for happiness in the future. When you live with desires and wishes, you can not see the happiness of today, but if you see happiness in small things, then it makes life wonderful. Many people keep accumulating wealth with this aspiration that they will consume the full amount of money in one age but then the body does not accompany you and the doctor refuses to eat sweet. Then you can not eat sweet fruits. Then the body is dependent on medicines and you can not work much harder. Therefore, It is important that you should maintain a balance in life when you are healthy. Enjoy all the things. Take time for your important relationships. If you think that when you will have enough time you will meet important people, remember that such a time will never come. Those who lose today in waiting for such a time, lose every happiness in life.
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.
