Life is like a machine;use efficiently for maximum output



Like all other machines, you must consider life is also like a machine. Then you lead life properly to accrue the most out of it. We know that machines break-down, if we do not maintain proper and same is the case with our lives. We need to maintain a healthy life with all correct practices, to eat, exercise, work and sleep. In the absence of these, we face hardship, pain and struggles. Sometimes, of course, you face pain for unavoidable circumstances, even though you maintain your life perfectly. One thing is sure that without pain, stress, suffering and humiliation, one cannot glitter and come out from the gloom of life. Pain is a given, but the suffering from this consequence is basically a choice.  Everyone passes through various constraints in life and the same is the part and parcel. With these constraints and conflicts laden path, you have to either choose  to be a victim or a winner. You must either accept the situation as it is and gets defeat or you cross the thorny path to become victorious. You must command your life  like you play a game; sometimes you win and some other times, you lose. You must be capable to fortify this cycle continually to taste all the fruits of success in life.

You depend on the various changes in life, which happen at every stage. If you are unable to cope up with the changes, you will be crushed by the pressure of these changes.  So, you need to be self-reliant. Instead of  getting trampled, you have to ensure that the world bow down to you. You can reach this stage when you are inclined to change your mind and devote to a bit of spirituality on a daily basis.  This spirituality makes your mind more pervasive and you will not bother with these changes, which is of course, inevitable in life.  A  man has to suffer many pangs, but the spiritual thoughts will protect you from the severe pain and lessen the same. These changes, of course, cannot touch an enlightened master, because he is in total control of any situations. He has developed so much so spirituality in his own self that the changes are afraid to touch him.  But it is not so easy to become an enlightened master. You can do so by transcending various stages along the path of your life. These stages are fidgety of your mind, brittleness of your decision and nihilism in your thought process.  In the state of fidgety, you are almost like fiddle-faddle when you mostly get carried away by the external factors.  If someone tells you something, you perform the same without knowing the implication. In the state of brittleness, you are on the middle path means, you are composed, but slight variations in the surroundings or environmental fluctuations cause your mental agonies and you fumble to take decisions. In this stage, mentally, you are like a rigid structure with a solid base to overcome all the turbulence and volatility of the changes. But under pressure of parents, family members, peers and friends, you  lose your peace and decision making power and follow exactly the opposite route against your desire and  land into a trouble. At the stage of nihilism of your thought process, presumably you are getting everything, but you are not attached, means if anything comes to you, you take the same as God’s wish. You think that you have given your share of diligence to the best of your capability and the rest is His blessings. When you cross all these stages based on your experience and accomplish efficiently, you lead a life with maximum output.

You have to consider every challenge as an examination and once you pass one examination, you grow and appear in another one.  In this way only, you can accumulate your strength to counter any challenge authoritatively. You must gain knowledge of your real worth.  Always remember, any changes can alter your life plan for a while, but cannot make a see through effect and make you panic. At one point of time, these changes may amuse you.  Always assess any situation based on the happenings and the outcome derived from the same.  You accept them as they are, but not the way you like.  Then you will not have any repentance that you have missed something. When you are enlaced with a dual mind and not able to draw any inference calmly, you must postpone. During the time of changes, this is very essential.

Life can be enjoyed both by the enjoyment of materialistic gain and spiritual knowledge.  The materialistic gain will definitely increase your comfort and worldly happiness, but the same will not be permanent. Your spiritual knowledge accrued out of your studies of this subject and devotion to the Almighty will make you shimmering throughout your life.  Further, this spiritual path does not require you to change your lifestyle.  You can attach to your worldlings and still embrace the spiritual path. You only have to change your attitude and offer your talent to a larger cause.

When you love your people very  much and if by any reason, they conflict with you or with your opinion or hurt your feelings, you get angry and blame them.  But instead of criticizing others, look within. You will find that you become selfish and accusing the people whom you love so much for a simple reason that they criss-cross with you.  You expect that they must always dance to your tune; you dictate your terms to them and they have to surrender to your wishes. This ultimately makes them to fly from your love and affection, which they seem as one type of restriction on their activities from you.  Accept them with their pattern of behavior.  You must be self-sufficient.  You may feel pleasure when they are with you, but you should not feel lonely when they leave you. Then they will love you sincerely.

The main essence of life’s enjoyment is the objectivity. As you happen to know the case of murder, horror, pathetic news and different other types of tragedies through pictures, news and information, you do not get attached because you are not a part of the same.  Though you become sad, but this sadness will disappear after some time. You must construe your life in the same fashion. All the happenings of your life should not shroud you either in joy or in sorrow. You just enact your role as an efficient operator as perfectly as possible.  You remember that your life is  your own.  You are not at all fault to perform various  roles that you play in your life. When this knowledge is deeply rooted in your mind and you will be continually flourishing with a spiritual sensitivity, you will be able to seek the secret of life’s enjoyment and achieve maximum output.
