"Shaping Our Own Destinies: The Power of Choice and Responsibility"

 "Shaping Our Own Destinies: The Power of Choice and Responsibility"

According to what our myths tell us, the state of the soul after death is determined by the deeds a person has done in life. William James added that the suffering one experiences in the afterlife is not as bad as the suffering we create for ourselves in this world through our actions and habits. It is our own choices and behavior that lead to a self-made hell or heaven.

One cannot rely solely on fate or destiny to lead a fulfilling life. Each person must take responsibility for their own problems and seek solutions, although guidance from others may be helpful. Living a disciplined and orderly life leads to success, but relying solely on fate results in a lack of enthusiasm and a life filled with sorrow and distress.

 
In conclusion, the state of our soul after death is determined by our actions in life and the suffering we experience in the afterlife is largely self-made. It is up to each individual to take control of their life and create their own heaven or hell. By living a disciplined and orderly life and taking responsibility for our problems, we can ensure a fulfilling and successful existence. On the other hand, relying solely on fate will lead to a lack of purpose and a life filled with sorrow and distress. The message is clear: we must take control of our own lives and shape our destinies through our thoughts, actions, and habits.

 

"The Importance of Integrating the Harmony of Science, Education, and Religion in Producing Good Character"

 

India, also known as Bharat, possesses a unique understanding of the relationship between Science, Education, and Religion. It recognizes that these three elements are meant to guide and motivate individuals towards self-improvement and the discovery of their purpose in life. India believes in the harmonious coexistence of Science, Education, and Religion, which is a perspective that is gaining global recognition. The country's unique selling point is its focus on the subjective, inner spiritual awakening and direct realization of the highest truth, or God, which is the essence of all religions.

 

Science and Education are worthless if they do not produce individuals of good character, and Religion is meaningless if it merely promotes beliefs and affiliations that lead to violence and division. The world needs academia and religion to work together to inspire individuals towards selflessness and good deeds. Education and democracy are important, but they must be aligned with the goal of reducing selfishness and increasing selflessness.

 

All religions have two aspects, the ceremonial and the spiritual, the external and the internal, the social and the individual. The spiritual aspect is the essential part and must be incorporated into education to inspire individuals towards self-improvement. However, people often mix the two aspects of religion, leading to modern education rejecting it as superstitious and divisive. Academia must work with religion to create an environment of inquiry and exploration in order to discover the highest truth.

 

In India, the mistake was made of associating caste with religion and trying to discredit both. The lack of a method for producing individuals of good character has resulted from the separation of education and religion from the goal of self-development. Education must embrace the spiritual aspect of religion and inspire individuals towards renouncing selfishness and embracing love for all. The focus of education and religion should be on creating a new syllabus for self-development processes aimed at producing individuals of character, with governance ensuring that teachers and leaders are also committed to this goal.

 

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.-

YOUTH AND EDUCATIION

It would be pertinent to recall the real meaning of ‘Education’ at a time when it has started losing its true meaning these days.

‘Education is a lifelong process. It may begin in schools and college but it does not end there . it is an incessant search for truth, knowledge, wisdom, experience and faith.  A real  student is he who goes  on assimilating knowledge, experience and wisdom throughout his life and goes on building up his life and character”-said Sri RamKrishna.

Teacher cannot give students character from the pages of books. Character building comes from their very lives. Students imbibe more  from teachers’ own lives then they do  from the books or lectures. Thus teachers must have good character.

“Many of the ailments of our present-day educational  systems and many of the maladies affecting students and teachers stem from the narrow educational objective. Viz. examinations and jobs. Of course, examinations can not be easily dispensed with and jobs and careers are essential for every student. But students and teachers should not be under the impression that education is merely a system of passing examination and securing jobs it is much more than that”.-said Swami Vijananada.

As Swami  Vivekanada  rightly said, “Education is a process of life building  man-making , character-building; assimilation of ideas.”

Education should therefore promote values, the spirit of patriotism and service, the will t do hard work, the feeling to uplift the poor and the downtrodden.

Swami Vijnanada’s advice to youth is very relevant here. “Accept not what makes you weak physically and mentally . if any food makes you weak, if any literature spoils your mind, if any company of people  wakens your mind. If any cinema make you weak mentally and physically , reject them as poison.

If you want to be good, it is in your hands, Nobody can make you good by force. Likewise , no body can make you bad against you will. If you are good, the credit goes to you. If you are bad, you yourself fare to be blamed . you are the creator of your destiny . Make your nerves strong . what we want is muscles of iron and nerves of steel. It is man making education all round that we want.

Fundamental rights

Fundamental rights are rights that are very necessary for the growth of on individuals’ personality. They are enjoyed by each citizen irrespective of caste, colour, creed, race or sex.

I meant the play

Miss Skinner starred in a revival of Bearnard Shaw’s Play. “Candida”. He sent her a cable. “ Magnificent! Greatest”. She was very happy and immediately cabled back; “Undeserving such praise “Shaw replied. “I meant the play” Miss Skinner was excited with anger and she retorted . “So did I”

Make a rule of life never to regret and never to look back. Regret is nothing but waste of time.

Quotes from the true Charm and power of Vedanta

Before science had sufficiently developed or become aggressive and self-assertive, religion was the mast of the field where science has now entered.  In the early days people in almost every land believed that devils caused diseases and persists cured them. In times of illness men would depend more in supernatural resources than on any earthly thing. But gradually the science of medicine began to develop. Nowadays most men will go to doctors rather than to the church fathers when taken ill. We say ‘most men’ because even now there are found person who believe in the efficacy of sorcery, stoicism, or incantation as a remedy against dieses and illness and physical suffering. There are some pseudo-religions schemes such as mind cure, though-cure,  Christian science, about which it is difficult to say whether they are religions or sciences. At best, they are the relies of the attitude which depended on supernatural remedies rather than on human intelligence and efforts. Of course there are bold and strong g persons even in the field of religion who strongly disapprove of turning spiritual power to secular ends. They will apply spiritual remedy for spiritual purposes, and secular means for achieving secular ends. Why pray to God (and disturb him!) for curing you illness when a simple dose of medicine can cure you ? No doubt these are the boldest and sanest amongst religious person. Many persons will succumb to human weakness when suffering for a long time or faced with a situation beyond the reach of human efforts. But the effect of this attitude on the stability of religion is not very happy. When a person in the twentieth century finds that his forefathers depends on priests for things when he himself can now easily cure, his faith in religion is rudely shaken.

 

 

 

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.

Adaptability- most desirable habit for success.

Swami sivanada

Adaptability is a virtue or noble quality by which one accommodates to others, whatever their nature or temperament. This is a mos desirable habit for success in life and has to be developed slowly.

Adaptability is the knack of winning the hearts of others and ultimately, the battle fo life by a little bit of bending. If you want to adapt yourself to all. You must be flexible, humble and simple, gentle and soft. An adaptable person shares what he ahs with others. He bears insults and hard words. Adaptability kills selflessness and develops universal love.

The world runs on adaptability. one who knows the art of adaptability can live happily in any environment. An adaptable person can move about harmoniously with anybody in the world.  Adaptability give immense strength and profound joy. It develops a strong will and balance of mind. Adaptability develops the feeling of oneness our unity of live (Courtesy ; “Yoga”)

Make the best use of what is in your power and take the rest as it happens.

For the last 10 years we bark at everyone.

One day, God created dog and said; “Sit all day near the door of the house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past . For this, I shall give yo a lifespan of twenty years”. The dong said, “That is long time to be barking . How about ten years and I will give you back the other ten?’God agreed.

On the next day. God created the monkey and said, “Entertain people, do tricks and make them laugh. For this, I shall give you a twenty year lifespan”. The monkey said, “Monkey tricks for twenty years? That is pretty long time to perform . how about I give you back ten years like the Dod did?” God agreed.

On the next day, God created the cow and said; “You must go into the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk to support the farmer’s family . for this , I shall give you a lifespan of sixty years”. The cow said, “That will be a tough life for me to live for sixty years. How about twenty and I shall give back the other forty? God agreed again.

Next day, God created man and said.” Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. For this , I shall give you  twenty year. “ But man said, “Could you possibly give me may twenty , the forty the cow gave back, the monkey’s ten years and the dog’s ten years. That makes eighty? “. Okay’, said God.

That is why the first twenty years eat, sleep , play and enjoy ourselves. For the next forty years we work hard in the sun to support our family. For the next ten years we do monkey tricks to entertain our grandchildren. And for the lat ten years we sit on the veranda and bark at everyone.

Quote from The true charm and power of Vedanta

The “Dhamapada”, or Path to Virtue.

All that we are is the result of what we have thought; it is founded on our thoughts, it is made up of our thoughts. If a man speaks ora acts with an evil thought, pain follows him, as the wheel follows the foot of the ox that draws the carriage.

All the we are is the result of what we have thought; it is founded on our thoughts, it is made up o four thoughts. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him like a shadow that neve leaves him.

The virtuous delights in this world, and he delights in the nest; he delights in both. He delights and rejoices when see the purity of his own work.

Earnestness is the path of immortality , thoughtlessness the path of death. Those who are in earnest do not die; Those who are in earnest do not die; those who are thoughtless are as if dead already.
