Life Can Begin at 60

Many people feel unhappy after 60 years of age owning to less importance given to them. But it need not be se, if only we understand the basic principles of life and follow them. Here are few tips to age gracefully and make life pleasant after retirement.

Never say I am aged: There are three ages chronological , biological and psychological. The first is calculated based on our date of birth: the second is determined by the health condition and the third is how old you feel you are. While we don’t have control over the first, we can take care of our health with good diet. Exercise and cheerful attitude. A positive attitude and optimistic thinking pattern.

Health is wealth: if you really love your kith ad I, taking care of your health should be your priority. Thus you will not be a burden to them. Have an annual health checkup and take the prescribed medicines regularly. Do have health insurance cover.

Money is important: Money is essential for meeting the basic necessities of life. Keeping good health and to ensure family respect. Don’t spend beyond your means. It is time you enjoyed a harmonious life with your spouse. If your children are grateful and take care of you. You are blessed. But never take it for granted.

Relaxation and recreation: Most relaxing and recreating conditions are healthy religious attitude, good sleep and laughter. Have faith in God, learn to sleep well, love good music and see the funny side of life.

We should accept change –it is inevitable change ay bring out many pleasant things.

Observe selflessness: All of us are basically selfish; Whatever we do, we expect something in return . we should definitely be grateful to those who stood by us. But our focus should be on the internal satisfaction and happiness we derive by doing good to others, without expecting anything in return.

Forget and forgive: don’t bother too much about others mistakes. For the ask of our own health and happiness , let us forgive and forget them.

Take life as it comes; Accept yourself as you are and accept others for what they are.

Over come the fear of death; We all know that one day we have to leave this world Still we are afraid of death. We think that our spouse and children will be unable to withstand our loss But the truth is no one is going to die for you; they may be depressed for some time Time heals everything.

Quote from the True Charm and Power of Vedanta

Philosophy of existence.

All human begins struggle constantly for the sake of happiness and get entangled n the process, in some kind of crisis everyone struggles for freedom and gets caught in some form of bondage. They strive for name and fame, but humiliation lies somewhere in wait to pounce of them unawares The attempt to evade death continues , but the fear of death is drawn, man is swept through the current of life by the conflicting waves of laughter and tears, hope and disappointment, love and hatred , victory and defeat. He sometimes becomes a helpless as a fly caught in a spider’s web. None can escape from these conflicting forces, neither the peasant in the countryside not the eminent stats man I the capital, neither the owner of a place or monastery noir the occupant of a cottage or a cave. Is that all there is to life? Why then has man not made a compromise with his state? Why does he not remain satisfied with this limitation? Why does he try so hard to overcome them? Why does he constantly try to escape from

these shekels? Why should imperfect man? The truth is this. Man is not truly mortal, hot, truly bonded, not truly imperfect. Because of ingrained ignorance he believes that he is mortal, bonded and incomplete, but his inner spirit resists this constantly. Without shedding his ignorance, he cannot see the inner truth. His struggle is, thus unending until he realizes his real nature. Courtesy learn to LIVE

But, if He exists? 

I drive joy There was a doctor in Benaras who spent 7 minutes in the morning and evening for mediation on God. Knowing this, his colleagues and friends laughed at him. One day they argued that he was wasting ten precious minutes on something, which he had been misled into believing. The doctor replied, “Well, if God does not exist, I agree that I am wasting ten minutes a day. But, if He exists? I am afraid you are wasting your entire lifetime. I prefer to waste ten minutes rather than a lifetime. Why should you grudge me the 10 minutes joy that I derive 4m.

Patience As A Principle

Patience As A Principle

Just about everyone would agree that patience is a good quality: we admire it and desire it, those of us who need it most are least inclined to cultivate it, however. we need patience in order to develop patience. Arnold Galsgowstated, “The key to everything is patience. You get the chicken by hatching the egg, not smashing it. “In the long run, you will find that patience with people is beneficial to you. But you may not see a return right away. It may be something you have to wait for. If you are an impatient person and have hard time prioritizing patience now, then understand this: the people around you benefit from it immediately. As Greek Philosopher Aristotle noted. “The greatest virtues are those which are most useful to other persons”

Anything really worthwhile in this life takes time to build, and that’s’ true of relationships. The more people involved in the relational circle, the longer it takes . For example, think about how long it takes for a work group to develop proper work relationship. Tow or three people can get to know each other and learn to work together fairly and fast. It takes five people a lot longer. The bigger the group, the longer it takes . So to develop patience, you have to practice the exchange principle. you need to appreciate how other people think and be sensitive to how they feel Every person thinks…

·         his problems are the biggest

·         his jokes are the funniest

·         his prayers should get special attention

·         his situation is different.

·         his victories are the most exemplary

·         his faults should be overlooked

In other words each of us thinks of our circumstances warrant special consideration –people should be extra patience with us instead we should turn the tables: we should put ourselves in the other persons place, and be extra patience with them

Recognize that all relationships have Give-Ups. Give-Ins, and Give-and Takes. Nobody can make you give up, give in, or give and take. They are voluntary activities. But if you want relationships to last, you have got to be flexible. Courtesy wisdom

Quote From the True Charm and Power of Vedanta

Karma Yoga ; This Karma –Yoga is purifying the mind by means of work. Now if any work is done, good or bad, it must produce as a result a good or bad effect; no power can stay it, once the cause is present. Therefore good action producing good Karma, and bad action bad karma, the soul will go o in eternal bondage without ever hoping for deliverance. Now Karma belongs only to the body or the mind, never to the Atman. The veil cast by bad Karma is ignorance. Good Karma has the power to strength the moral powers and thus creates non-attachments; it destroys the tendency towers bad Kara and thereby purifies the mind. But if the work is done with the intention of enjoyment , does not purify the mind or Chitta. Therefore all work should be done without any desire to enjoy the fruits thereof. All fear and all desire to enjoy here or hereafter must be banished forever by the Karma-Yoga. Moreover this Karma without desire for return will destroy the selfishness which is the root of all bondage. The watch word of the Karma-Yogi is “ Not I, but Thou”, and no amount of self-sacrifice is too much for him but he does this without any desire to go to heaven, or gain name or fame or any other benefit in this world. Although the explanation and rationale of this unselfish work is only in Janana-Yoga. Yet the natural divinity of man makes him love all secretive simply for the good of others, without any ulterior motive whatever his creed or opinion. Again with many , the bondage of wealth is very great; and Karma-Yoga is absolutely necessary for them for braking the crystallization that has gathered round his love of money.

A tonic to The Mind

Rites of Passage

For human beings, whatever their religion, there are certain key events in life, such as birth, marriage and death. Rituals or ceremonies such as christening (baby-naming ceremony) wedding and funerals mark the significance of these events, and connect a person to society and tradition. These ceremonies are called ‘rites of passage’ because they mark a person’s passing from one state of life to another.

A tonic to The Mind

Truth , fairness , generosity and self-restraint are taught by all religions. Any person who wished individual and collective welfare cannot ignore these values. Even a septic with a rational mind or a man with scientific temperament cannot brush the aforesaid values away. These values aim at individual as well as collective well-being. They help not only an individual to live happily but inspire him to see that others too remain happy

When others hurt us through their harsh words and deeds we feel pain and agony. The same words and deeds hurt others too. Non-violence is a positive attitude of mind where one constantly strives for the welfare of others through word and deed. So also the practice of others virtues like truth, non-stealing, continence, and on-covetousness fosters individual as well as collective well-being

Truth and honesty have been highly praised in Indian Scriptures. Non-violence has its roots in truth. Without the foundation of truth, real progress is not possible. The wonderful discoveries of scientists have been based on the pursuit of truths, on their persistent efforts and one pointed concentration to unravel it. Truth alone triumphs and no untruth, the veracity of the great teaching can be understood by all. “Truth was God”. A man of truth sits on the lap of God, said Sri RamaKrishna.

But there are exceptions to it. Sometimes we cannot state an unpleasant or a painful truth if it hurts others. The second form of truth is to fulfill one’s promises. Devotion to work is its third from. Truthful persons may undergo many hardships in doing good to others. Yet they do not deviate from their path. They adhere to their honesty and promises. Through the practice of truth one can realize God who is the embodiment of truth. Therefore, it should permeate our personal and collective lives and our social behaviouir. It should touch the hearts of our students in schools and colleges. This is the only way to bring about the well being of society. Courtesy wisdom

A man’s true delight is to do the things he was made for

How much easier it is to be critical then to be correct.

Quote from the True Charm and Power of Vedanta

In the Vedas, there is no mention of hell. But our Puranas, the later books of our scriptures, thought that no religion could be complete unless hells were attached to it, and so they invented all sorts of hells. In some of these, men are sawed in half, and continually tortured, but do no die. They are continually feeling intense pain, but the books are merciful enough to say it is only for a period. Bad Karma worked out in that state and then they come back on earth, and get another chance. so this human form is the great chance . it is called the Karma-body, in which we decide our fate. We are running in huge circle, and this is the point in the circle which determines the future. So this is considered the most important form that there is . Man is greater than the gods.

So far with dualism, pure and simple . Next comes the higher Vedantic philosophy which sys, that its cannot be . God is both the material and the efficient cause of this universe, If you say there is a god who is an infinite Being, and a soul which is also infinite , and a nature which is also infinite, you can go on multiplying infinite, without limit which is simply absurd; you smash all logic. So god is both the material and the efficient cause of the universe; He project this universe out of Himself. Then how is it that God has become these walls and this table, that God has become the pig, and the murderer, and al the evil things in the world? We say that God is pure. How can He become all these degenerated things? Our answer is just as I am a soul and have a body and in a sense, this body is not different from me, yet I, the real I , in fact, am on the body. For instance, I say, I am child, a young man, or an old man, but my soul has not changed. It remains the same soul. Similarly , the whole universe , comprising all nature and an infinite number of souls , is, as if were, the infinite body of God. He is interpenetrating the whole of it. He alone is unchangeable, but nature changes, and soul changes. He is unaffected by changes in nature and soul. In what way does nature change? In its forms, it takes fresh forms. But the soul cannot change that way. The soul contracts and expands in knowledge. It contracts by evil deeds. Those deeds which contract the real natural knowledge and purity of the soul are called evil deeds. Those deeds, again which bring out the natural glory of the soul are called good deeds. All these souls were pure, but they have become contracted ; through the mercy of God, and by doing god deeds, they will expand and recover their natural purity. Everything has the same chance, and in the long run, must get out. But this universe will not cease, because it is eternal. This is the second theory. The first is called dualism. The second holds that there are God, should, and nature and soul and nature from the body of God, and, therefore these three form one unit. It represents a higher stage of religious development and goes by the name of qualified monism, in dualism; the universe is conceived as a large machine set going by God while in qualified monism. It is conceived as an organism, interpenetrated by the Divine self. Courtesy thoughts on Vedanta

Right Attitude Towards Your Work

Right Attitude Towards Your Work

Work is expression: It is mind in action

Work brings man to life, sets him in motion. Work is man in action doing things .Nothing happens until people go to work. It creates the world we live in. the right attitude towards work multiplies achievement. The art of work consists of what you think about your work, how you feel about it, and what you do about it. We appreciate work if we see it as freedom to create and build and help. It is hard to find work you can love, a job to which you an harness your heart. So whatever work comes y our way love it, truing it into a mission, a task into career. If you do so with your present work and work so well, it will open doors to new opportunities. Tasks done at a high standard pave the way to bigger things. In simple terms, it is glorifying our work, putting a halo around your job. It is like accepting what the poet Henry Van Dye said “This is my work, my blessing, not my doom”

Work has healing power-You discoverer it, particularly when you are lonely . If you are worried or fearful. Work It you are discouraged or defeated…work! Work is the key to happiness.

It is making your work You. So put the stamp of you unique personality on the work you do. It is pouring your spirit into your task. It is making your work a reflection of your faith, your integrity, your ideals.

Right attitude to work makes you realize that work, not repose, is the destiny of man. It is only through work that you can express yourself and make a contribution to human progress. So go to your work as you go to worship, with a prayer of thankfulness and the aspiration to serve.

The work to be done, the goal you seek, will be achieved only when you get off the deadly lethargy, and make a start. Your ideas ad ideals become dynamic when you do something about them, when you express them in everyday action. Your action sculptures your life; action sculptures the world. You practice the art of action when you act to bring the good into visibility. James W. Elliott said it all in nine words” “Work is life and good work is good life”

Wishing you all a happy Prosperous and “Good Work-full Lives” courtesy Wisdom

Quote from the True Charm and Power of Vedanta

The glory of divine light

From time immemorial, in different parts of the world, people have had belief about the existence of a kind of aura that surrounded the human body, within, however, was invisible to the ordinary perception of man. It is quite common to find a halo especially around the heads or saints and spiritual men in pictures. Some times children or on rare occasions people with awakened powers of extra-sensory perceptions say that they are able to see a halo in different colors around the body of every human. It is possible to describe in details the conditions of the physical and mental health of an individual by studying the distinctive features and density of this aura. In the past, this knowledge ass restricted to just a few . But today Russian experts have been able to recognize with the help of a

Kirlian apparatus the colour of aura. With the help of this apparatus they are able to diagnose the causes of diseases which normal x-ray is unable to reveal. The Kirlian can assess the fluctuations in the condition of the mind and find out the origin of physical disorders. scientist apparatus in their work. It has been reported that Russian scientist have succeeded in diagnosing diseases using Krilian procedure. “The work o the Kirlian not only in Russian but in Rumania , Bulgaria, Hungary, Czechoslovakia and East Germany by over 1000 high level scientists, physicists and biologists, medical doctors, with a total staff of as many as 50,000 laboratory assailants

In addition to the aura found around the body of every individual, there are other extraordinary powers latent in the human mind. Before we get a fair acquaintance with these powers, it is necessary to know and important factor which scientist discovered with the help of the Krilaian equipment. The principle of life, which goes by the name of individual soul, is not a part of our physical body with its constituents of bone, blood, flesh and the nervous system. This subtle body characterized by and aura is not seen in the dead body of either man or animal. that means the existence of this subtle body is solely responsible for the whole activity of our physical body. This body made up of energy called by the seers of ancient India, Sukshma Sharira. Courtesy Learn to live,  Infinite power hidden within you
