Solving the unsolved!

The greatest worry and the forthmost fatigue is the unhappiness. Once Sita, wife of Lord Rama, asked a sage that what is the biggest sorrow and what is the greatest happiness? He answered, the biggest sorrow is poverty and the greatest happiness is peace of mind.

So, does eradicating poverty would lead to ultimate happiness? The answer could be found in a mansion with no family and in a hut where ‘a family that eats together, stays together.’ Yes, it’s true that money solves lot of problems but does it bring you peace of mind? Ask yourself!

Once I heard someone saying that, if money can’t buy happiness, then I would like to cry in a mansion rather than a hut. It’s true that money does many things but not everything. Following money or your ambition or success is great and very important for existence but leaving everything and blindly chasing only money is a dumb action.

Money and luxury pampers our five senses but it rusts our sixth sense because, with luxury, arrogance comes as a gift. The sixth sense which is the connoisseur of our karma, it gets diminished before the bright light of ‘gold’. So, what is the solution? Learn! Learn to control your senses those pull you away from your relationships.

Self control makes you a better person and life, disciplined. The mind is like a horse, and its halter is in your hands, so set its pace and boundaries. Life decisions are liquid in state, only walls can set it in place and make it useful, any spillage make them useless.

*Your faith is the ultimate strength which will never fade. Faith is a non materialistic power that can change the universe. Therefore, show faith in yourself and be ingenous towards life.*

How to gain inner satisfaction?

Those people who do not care about the fruitful nature of their deed and offer their deeds to God and believe that whatever he is doing, he is meant to do it and does not bound to Karma. The person who is bound to his Karma is never satisfied. Happiness or grief; success or failure, whatever situation is there, a perfect yogi is never affected by them, because he knows that ultimately these desires or accomplishments are momentary and materialistic. The perfect yogi knows about the fake worldly desires and his Karma is surrendered to Krishna. He is never affected by disappointments and he believes in his capabilities.

So learn how to control: Eyes are to be controlled, not to be shut – as a perfect yogi knows what to see and what not. The logic to self-control is not demolishing the senses but to gain full control and discipline.

Tasmādasaktaḥ satataṁ kāryaṁ karma samācara|
Asakto hyācarankarma paramāpnoti pūruṣaḥ|| (Srimad Bhagvad Gita, Ch-3, Ver-19)

Meaning: Therefore, without being attached to the fruits of activities, one should act as a matter of duty; for by working without attachment, one attains the Supreme.

Attachment and Expectation is the main enemy of inner peace. The one who steps out from the vicious cycle of attachment surely finds satisfaction within himself.
