You are here for the Great Purpose
Have faith that you are
originally a great soul. You are not the body; you are for life, not for death.
Nothing can harm or perturb you from the path of the great purpose for which
you are born. You just have to recognize that purpose.
You are never alone; not even in
the solitude of forests or top of the mountain without any companion. That
Omnipresent, Almighty God is always with you; HE is there in your breath, your
mind, everywhere even while you are asleep. HE has given you this life; HE
wants you to transmute and ascend further. That Omnipotent, King of all kings,
Creator and Owner of everything is with you; then how can you be helpless or
weak? If you have realized and surrender your "I" before HIM, believe
me that your will remain protected and will win even if the whole world is
against you.
Surrender before God does not
mean that you should stop self-effort, self confidence and just become idle and
slave or destiny. Rather, it implies elevation of your self-confidence
refinement of your attitude, thoughts, aspirations and deeds worth HIS dignity.
this is what leads to unification
of the individual self with the Supreme Self. You are here to strive for this
ultimate evolution.
The Cause of Dissatisfaction
A wise man should cautiously
restrain his needs. This requires prudent continence over the senses and
control over the waywardly nature of the mind. A sage preaches - "if you
want maximum content and joy in your life, you should first restrain your
senses and discipline your mind. Draining out your potentials and resources in
greed and lust would give you nothing but misery".
We are often driven by false
impressions of what is really necessary for us. Desire of sensual pleasures
coupled with the advertisements of various things and entertainment lure us and
we go on wasting our money, time and efforts in mindless activities. Major loss
or paucity of money at times warns us and makes us repent; but this is only
temporary. It usually accelerates our efforts of earning more (for further
spending……..!
The major cause of your
discontent and worries is your inability to discipline your own routine and
check your habits and desires. You must remember that self-restrain not only
strengthens you financially but also physically and mentally. It is the key to
all round success and happiness.
