Happiness and Sadness is caused by senses of human body,
The truth can’t be destroyed nor could it be brought to an end
Your mood should be similar during happiness and sadness, profit and loss, victory and defeat. Thereafter work hard in the direction of truth. In this way you will never incur sin in your life and your life would be filled with great deeds.
Man with limited understanding is always attracted towards personal material pleasures of the world. This personal material pleasure only provides pleasure to senses of human body. These pleasures are temporary and do not provide peace of mind.
A man who is constantly upgrading his knowledge is called learned and he can serve the society well as compared to dumb man.
Perform your activities and become equipoise in both success and failure. Consider success and failure as a same thing.
Perform your activities without expecting the personal material gains, those who works for personal material gains becomes unhappy at the end.
One whose mind is undisturbed by stress or sadness, fear or anger are considered as person with perfect knowledge
One who completely becomes free from sense satisfaction is considered as a person with perfect knowledge.
Senses satisfaction is so dangerous that they can destroy good person in order to satisfy them.
When a person achieves self control then all sadness is vanished from life and he becomes a happy minded person.
A person can not achieve anything with knowledge alone. Action must be mixed with knowledge in order to achieve success
Sacrifice is very important to perform action without demanding sense satisfaction and pleasure. Sacrifice is the key to achieve great success.
By sacrificing the unwanted activities you will achieve great blessing from God.
Take an oath and a firm decision to remove one bad habit/activity you do everyday. By removing the bad activities you would have more time for good activities. Be the captain
You must give more in order to get more. Always remember, be careful while giving, giving to wrong person is considered as a sin. It is very necessary that you provide some assistance to the needy who is hard working.
Those who remain happy with their inner soul are never dependent on anyone. No one can make them sad. Inner happiness and peace can only be found if you perform action without senses satisfaction. That could be done if you have broader vision for society and with sacrifice. One can not achieve permanent inner happiness with selfish and personal goals.
As ignorant work for personal fruits. Knowledgeable should work for welfare of the world.
As a mirror is covered by dust, knowledge is coved by lust.
One should exercise breath control, by taking deep breath and focusing on incoming and outgoing of breath. It’s good for mind and body.
There is nothing you “have to” do. Everything you do, you choose to do.
One whose mind is not attached to external senses objects enjoys the happiness of the inner self.
Fix your eyes between the eyebrows, close your eyes and take a deep breath and exercise breath control, such a person can acquire control over his senses, get rid of lust and anger.
A controlled mind could be your best friend and an uncontrolled mind could be your worse enemy
with the help of faith and belief the person could achieve anything.
Any work done without expectation of personal fruits and for the betterment of society is Karma in real sense.
God has given us freedom to work and perform our karma but he is our creator so we should Thank GOD for each and every thing we do or achieve in our life.
When there is too much increase in passion to achieve anything. It forces the man to do something wrong to in order to get the things done. This gives push to ignorance present in human being.
Food in goodness is good for heath, such food is pure fresh cooked food, Pure Veg food, fresh sweets. Food that are too bitter, dry and hot (For Eg -> Fast Food) increases passion and is being loved by passionate people. Eating old stale food increases laziness and increases ignorance level in human.
That gift, which is given out of duty, at the proper time and place, to a worthy person, and without expectation of return, is considered to be charity in the mode of goodness
If a rich person gives up everything and become sage then it is considered good, but a poor person becomes sage in order to get daily free food is crime. Great sage first achieves everything by his efforts and then quit.
