Feeling of Depravation

There are two sides of the human personality — the material side and the spiritual side. If man feeds only the material side of his personality, he will always suffer from feelings of deprivation. But if he feeds the spiritual side of his personality along with the material side, he will not suffer from such feelings of deprivation.

Make yourself happy

Happiness is a state of mind. It does not exist outside of it. One should learn this principle, and only then will one see things in a different manner. Only you can make yourself happy. No one can gift happiness to you.

Ladder of Challenge

 Life is a challenge for both men and women. Those who know this will see this challenge as a ladder to progress, and by climbing this ladder will reach the higher stage destined for them.

Realism

The secret of success in life is to be realistic. The cause of the majority of the problems in life is the result of an unrealistic way of thinking. The ones who discover this secret will certainly be successful in making their lives pleasant and well worth living.

Let not the fire rage on

Rage is nothing but a temporary provocation. It is like a fire which flares up for a short duration and then dies down on its own if it is given no further fuel. If people realized this, anger would not result in any serious disharmony.

Best Life Partner

The purpose of marriage is not to find a playmate, but a worthy life partner. And the best life partner is one who possesses inner beauty, not just outward beauty. This truth can be perceived by everyone, provided one sees things from a realistic point of view.

Nothing to forget

A wise man is one who deliberately forgets the bitter memories of the past, who does not let his mind become a jungle of bitter thoughts. There is no other way is this world if one is to lead a successful life.

Waste of time

In this world, time is extremely limited. We cannot afford to spend this precious commodity on teaching people a lesson on retaliation or other such negative pursuits. The price we have to pay for such futile engagement is in terms of our own progress and development coming to a halt.

Let anger subside

Anger is like a fire in the mind. An unpleasant word or experience can make it flare up suddenly. But the duration of this fire is very short. So when we are angry, it would be wise to hold our tongues or divert our minds and wait for it to subside. And in no time we will be normal again.

It depends on you

Mutual conflicts have always been a feature of human society. It is not that there is no escape from this deplorable situation. It depends solely upon the concerned individual whether he entangles himself in such conflicts or manages to keep himself away from them.
