Are you putting your time to good use?

 

Quote from the True charm and power of Vedanta

Yoga in Daily life

Why cannot we hasten the grown of man…? We can, Can we put a limit to the hastening” …You have no reason to say that his much a man can do and no more. Circumstances can hasten him wonderfully Can there be any limit until you come to perfection?.. Even the hastening of the growth must be under laws. Suppose we investigate these laws and understand their secretes and apply them to our own needs. It follows that we grow. We hasten  our growth hasten our development, we become perfect even in this life. The utility of this science (yoga) is to bring out the perfect man and not let him wait and wait for ages just a playing in the hands of the physical world like a log of driftwood carried from wave to wave and tossing about in the ocean. The science wants you to be strong to take the work in your hands instead of leaving it in the hands of nature, and get beyond the little life.

Life implies activity and growth, we constantly evolve in a natural way, but though conscious , intelligent and steady effort we can accelerate the process the training and education we receive at home in schools and through extensive social contacts expedite this evolution,. A new awareness slowly dawns. We begin to perceive through vaguely, the relationship between ourselves and the group. This opens up new vistas in our consciousness, and on the distant horizon our infinite potentialities unfold before us. We then ascertain additional facts relating to ourselves and the universe that were heretofore unknown to us. These discoveries urge us to probe below the surface of the pragmatic life, and thus we intensify our search for truth. We comeback on a lifelong journey peace, security and complete fulfillment.,

 

Are you putting your time to good use?

By Sant Rajinder Singh

 

We are given 24 hours each day to put to good use. After discharging our worldly obligations and giving rest to our body, we are left with about six hours to put to good use. How we use this time defines how we use our day and, therefore, it is important where we focus our attention during this time. The key to making the most of our time is to first and foremost understand what our priorities are.

 

It is helpful to stop and ask ourselves, where is our attention going? We may find that we spend too much time and attention on the monetary aspect of our life or our careers at the cost of neglecting our families, our personal and spiritual growth. If so, we may want to look at balancing out our life. Many of us become so absorbed trying to amass money and possessions that we neglect other aspects of our life.

 

We may not only miss out on the beauties of nature and the joys of relationships with other people, but we may be missing out on the greatest treasure of all – the spiritual riches.

 

There is nothing wrong in earning a livelihood. However, when earning money becomes all-consuming at the cost of our health, family, or spiritual growth, then we may be leading an imbalanced life. It is important to lead a balanced life. We can attend to our responsibilities in the world and towards our families, as well as to our spiritual development.

 

 

We may all have worldly goals, but in this human existence, our foremost goal, is to experience God and to find our oneness with God. If we leave this world without having achieved this goal, this golden opportunity would have been wasted.

 

Once we recognise this goal, and once we realise that the way to achieve it is through meditation, it is up to us to prioritise meditation in our daily activities such that our attention is focussed on putting in the time for our meditation practices each day. If we do not prioritise meditation, and instead allow ourselves to get carried away by worldly deadlines and distractions, we will end up meditating sometimes and not meditating sometimes and before long, we will fall behind on our most important goal.

 

Kingdoms have come and gone. Kings and leaders have come and gone. Everything in this world is temporary. We are here but for a short time, and we have been given this human existence with one clear purpose. Once we realise this purpose, we need to do all we can to take steps towards it. The more we focus, the more successful we will be and the sooner we can get there.

 

By sitting in meditation for some time each day, we will be able to find that we are using our time for lasting spiritual gains. Meditation is a way to devote time to our body, mind and soul. It allows us to spend some time daily in the quiet of our own self and tap into the treasures within. The by-product of that is improvement in our physical, mental and emotional health and wellness.

 

IF HE EXIST

 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 7 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 7 minutes a day. But, if He exists? I am afraid you are wasting your entire lifetime. I prefer to waste 7 minutes rather than a lifetime. Why should you grudge me the 7minutes joy that I derive 4m.-
