Quote from the True charm and power of Vedanta

 Vedanta in Daily LIfe

Vedanta reaches that the less passion for work there is , the greater and more we work. If we read the lives of all the great workers of the world, we find that they were wonderfully calm men. Men and women of impulsive nature are restless and impatient, and so they cannot do great work and such, they cannot be steady workers they will lose their heads. Persons who are easily disturbed by passions like anger, jealously, hatred, ambition and selfishness, cannot accomplish much. They will shatter their nerves and eventually become useless. As we find in this country (in America) person who are impulsive , can do great work for the moment, but in the reaction, they break themselves in pieces. They suffer from nervous prostration. Therefore, self control is the secret of great work viz success in business, health and longevity. This we learn from Vedanta . What can be more practical or beneficial than to gain self-control and to exercise it in our everyday life?

Vedanta teaches how to be strong physically, mentally and spiritually. Physical strength proceeds from mental strength, and mental strength in its turn is the outcome of spiritual strength. Spiritual strength must be at the back of mental and physical strength, and that spiritual strength will come to those who live the right kind of life and understand d the laws that govern our lives . The knowledge of these laws will keep us free from mistakes, and this knowledge comes through the study of Vedanta. The practise of Raja Yoga will help us in acquiring that knowledge. that branch of Vedanta which is called the Raja Yoga, is the most practical of all applied sciences. Every step of this science depends entirely upon practice. It must enter into the daily life of every individual. take, for instance , one of the teachings of the Raja Yoga, the concentration . How absolutely helpful and necessary this power of concentration is ! Nothing can be achieved without it; no one can accomplish anything without possessing some amount of this power; no one can become a great artist; astronomer or physician, no one can have success, even in the Stock exchange, without this power of concentration. It is absolutely necessary for success in business, and this power we acquire through the practice of Raja Yoga.

Money and Well-Being

The Speaking Tree India | ET

By SADHGURU JAGGI VASUDEV

Some time ago, someone brought a man to me. He was depressed and broken and wanted to commit suicide. Why? Because about five years ago, he was worth Rs 3,000 crore. Then he played in the stock market, things went a little wrong and his worth dived a little bit.… If you keep money in your pocket, it is great. But if it enters your head, it becomes misery because that is not its place.

Wealth is just one of the tools towards human well-being, not the whole of it. What we need in the world is not just ‘wealth creation’. We need to create well-being. Wealth means making the outside pleasant for ourselves. Money is just a means; it is not an end by itself. We are making it too big for nothing.

Is it bad? Is it good? It is neither; it is just a tool that we created. It is not the money that people want. It is just that money has become the means for what they consider as a better life. Everyone wants their life to be pleasant.

When we say pleasant, pleasantness happens in five different ways. If your body becomes very pleasant, we call it pleasure. If your mind becomes pleasant, we call it peace; if it becomes very pleasant, we call it joy. If your emotions become pleasant, we call it love; if they become very pleasant, we call it compassion.

If your life energies become pleasant, we call it bliss; and if they become very pleasant, we call it ecstasy. If your surroundings become pleasant, you call it success. This is all you want, isn’t it?

Money can only create external pleasantness, it cannot create inner pleasantness.

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.
