Take Care of the Present
Our living state lies between
that of death and change. Our present is running towards the past. Past and
death represent the same thing. Disappearance of the existence of a being or a
thing is its death. Since birth, we are heading towards this stage every
moment. Every moment passed is a step towards death.
Everything, every cell of our
gross existence is continuously undergoing a change holding the future moment
to attain its future state. Everything is dynamic here; the tiny molecule and
atoms as well as the gigantic planets and stars, the galaxies, the universe,
every thing is moving, there is no pause. We too are moving towards the future
and transmitting the present in the domain of past. That which is past is gone;
that which is going to come is future; both are beyond our grasp. It is only
the present, which is in our hand. It is invaluable. It is the only source,
which if used sagaciously, could bestow immortal benefits in this mortal life.
We must realize it, awaken our mind, and make best possible use of the present.
Unflinching Power of Truth
One who is honest to his soul,
whose conduct is guided by the inner voice, who is truthful, sincere and far
away from showoff, artificialness, deceptiveness and spuriousness, if the wisest
person on this earth. Adoption of truthfulness makes one mightiest as well. Truth has immense power that is stronger than
every thing; no power or force of the world could be compared with it.
Don't forget! Falsehood is
falsehood; it will come to surface one day or the other and ruin the prestige
of the liar. Many a times you find tremendous benefits of telling a lie… But
don't be greedy; howsoever small it may appear, a lie is a lie, which carries
the chances of enormous loss eventually.
You should walk your talk. Be
honest in your words and actions. Truth is like a seed, which looks negligible
but ultimately grows into a grand, stout tree. If you want to live an august,
rising, happy and peaceful life, you must pledge to follow the path of truth and
pursue it sincerely in all circumstances.
Accumulate Illumined Knowledge
Happiness in life does not depend
upon wealth or worldly success; rather, it is an outcome of your endeavors of
self-development and enlightenment. One who has inculcated righteous attitude
by righteous knowledge will always be happy irrespective of his worldly status
and resources. He would be able to create favorable circumstances even from
adversity. Wisdom and purity of heart generated by true knowledge enable one
have light and joy even in the company of devilish people.
There is no place for fear,
sorrow, tension or suffering in the lives of illumined, wise people. That is
why possession of prudent knowledge is more beneficial than storage of wealth.
Sagacious saints earn more honor and unconditional cooperation than the mighty,
prosperous, elites.
You should understand that most
valuable property is that of illumined knowledge. So don't run behind worldly
possessions; strive for knowledge, inner illumination and self-transmutation.
