Key to human happiness

Life is indeed a hard school and many are the lessons that if has to teach one. 

A rational adjustment of ambition and contentment is, to my experience, the key to human happiness.

Most people act on a momentary impulse on every occasion. Such haphazard conduct without prior deliberation or self-discipline can not but lead very often to unpleasant consequences, if not bitterns.

Hard words and unpleasantness rarely, if ever , help you n achieving your ultimate objective.

Happiness is found in little things.

You cannot pursue happiness and catch it. Happiness comes while you are helping others. The philosophy of happiness is expressed in the old Hindu proverb, which reads; “Help your brother’s boat across and your own has reached the shore.

Happiness is like perfume you cannot spray it on others without getting some on yourself.

Happiness does not depend upon a full pocketbook, but upon a mind full of rich thoughts and a heart full of rich thoughts and a heart full of rich emotions.

Happiness does not depend upon what happens inside of yo it is measured by the spirit in which you meet the problems of life.

‘Happiness is a state of mind, Abraham Lincoln once said, “We are as happy as we make  up our mind to be”.

Happiness does not come from doing what we like to do but from liking what we have to do.

Happiness comes from putting our hearts in our work and doing it with joy and enthusiasm.

Happiness does not come from doing easy work but from the afterglow of satisfaction that comes after the achievement of a difficult task that demanded our best.

Happiness grows out of harmonious relationships with others based on attitudes with others, based on attitude of goodwill, tolerance, understanding and love.

Happiness is found in little things-a baby’s smile, a letter from a friend, the song of a bird, a light in the window.

The master secret of happiness is to meet the challenge of each new day with the faith that, “All things work together for good to them that love God”.

Quote from the true Charm and Power of Vedanta

Truth is ever present I the heart but only a few possess the purity and perseverance necessary to perceive It. Hence it is said that many are called but few are chosen. “Among thousands of human beings, scarcely one strives for perfection; and among (the thousand of ) faithful strives after perfection , scarcely one knows Me in reality. “why is this? Because , although there may be many who strive, they do not persevere. Their own nature and tendencies drag them aside out of the path. But a few, one among thousands, persist. They persevere even unto death and they attain. They would rather dies than betray Truth, That conviction one needs to realize the Truth.

When you worship or pray , no special forms are necessary. Know that the real thing needful is to have true devotion in your heart. When you have that, it does not matter whether you repeat any mantam (holy text) or not; it is always accepted by God. What can we give to the Lord? The whole universe belongs to Him already. But if we can only offer our heart’s love and devotion , the alone we worships Him. Otherwise , when we do not have true love and devotion, no amount of offering can please Him. Say plain, simple prayers from your heart and offer the flowers of love and devotion at the feet of your ideal. I am sure this will help you more than any observance of outer forms. Always pray to Him for strength and purity, so that you may be able to serve and worship Him truly.

Purity ,loyalty, perseverance, fearlessness, these are the necessary things to enable us to worship Lord.

 

 

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.

Challenges Mould Character
We are all for making life as simple and as easy as possible. We do –not want to face problems. We dislike every circumstance that casts a shadow of disappointment, pain, etc. But the fact is that life is not like that for anyone. It is also true that some people have great number of misfortunes and some, a little less. The secret of dealing successfully with life’s difficulties is the recognition that they are there to be dealt with, not to be evaded.
Life is a challenge. Challenge and difficulty are much more potent forces in moulding fine character than are ease and luxury. They are challenges to one’s power of concentration, will power and courage. They give an opportunity to show the stuff one is made of and they further strengthen the strong. Positive facets of one’s character.
Over a period, we begin to establish a new and helpful habit-pattern of confident and optimistic thinking. The optimistic way of thinking is in itself a powerful attribute in facing life’s challenges, in all its spheres. It makes us more capable of dealing with them. Our resources of morale, and sense of understanding are also enhanced for a successful living.
Thus difficulties and challenges may be regarded as circumstances that give us the opportunity for replacing weak habits by strong ones. Attitude of doubt by determination, thereby strengthening our character.
Success
No success ever comes on its own. Behind every success there are untold stories of trials, failures, losses, humiliation and miseries.
Gold Mine Within You!
A beggar had been sitting by the side of a road for over thirty years. One day a stranger walked by “Spare” some money? ”mumbled the beggar mechanically holding out his old cap.
“I have nothing to give you”. Said the stranger. Then he asked; “What is that you are sitting on?”
“Nothing , “ replied the beggar. “Just an old box. I have been sitting on it for several years”.
“Ever looked inside?” asked the stranger.
“No”, said the beggar. “What is the point? There is nothing inside”.
“Have a look inside”, insisted the stranger . The beggar managed to open the lid With astonishment, disbelief, and elation , he saw that the box was full of gold coins.
Guru says, “ I am that stranger who has nothing to give you and who is telling you to look inside. Not inside any box, as in the parable, but somewhere eve closer; inside yourself.”
Those who have not found their true wealth , which is the radiant joy and unshakable peace that comes with it, are beggars, even if they have great material wealth. They are looking outside for scraps of pleasure for security, or love , while they have a gold mine within that not only includes all those things but is infinitely grater then anything the world can offer.

What most interferes with our own seeing the good qualities in others are our own shortcomings.
Every one wishes to have truth on his side but it is not everyone that sincerely wished to be on the side of truth.
The best we can.
To do at each moment the best we can and leave the result to the Divine’s decision is the surest way to peace , happiness, strengths progress and final perfection.
If trust the first requisite for making a friend, faithfulness is the rist requisite for keeping him.
Greatness comes only to those who seek not how to avoid obstacles but to overcome them.
Regular Periods of Solitude
To do much clear thinking a man must arrange for regular periods of solitudes when he can concentrate and indulge in the imagination without destruction.
Quote from Bhagavad-Gita
The Gita is not a book for study and examination as a text-book It is a book that tells men how-to regulate their activities and their minds. It is like a travel guide. It is a guide-book for the journey of lives. We should travel with its help. Not commit it to memory. Merely committing it to memory will not enable us to reach the journey’s end.
