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.
