Life is Good

1. Students, fullfill the aspirations of your parents. Your parents educate you with great expectations. If you act against their will, they will be disappointed. If you cause pain to your parents, it amounts to causing pain to God. There is no difference between God and Parents. Make your parents happy, you will not be disappointed in life.

2. Your life is a gift of your parents, hence you should love your parents whole-heartedly under all circumstances. Your mother is your first God, your father is the second. It is they who protect you and take care of you constantly. Of what use are your achievements in life if you forget your father and mother.

3. Good people will always encounter opposition from bad people. Stones are hurled only at fruit-laden trees. Similarly, good people have to face the problems created by evil-minded people; but no harm can every come to them.

4. Today there is unrest and agitation in the world; this is the state of affairs in all areas of human behaviour - social, moral, ethical and even spiritual. Man seems to have lost his humanness. From a millionairre to a pauper, everyone is behaving like a beggar. The pauper is begging for alms; the millionairre is also begging and craving for more and more money. Who is big and who is small in this profession of begging. It is the beggar because he begs because of necessity.

5. The physical, mental and intellectual power of youth is matchless. If they take a firm resolve, they can achive anything. Hence, they should utilise all their powers for the benefit of the society.

6. Our tongue is most sacred, it is the gift of God for the purpose of speaking sweet words. Hence, never use bad words and the tongue should be used in a sacred manner. Do not indulge in useless talk. If you think twice before speaking anything, you will speak four times less and will not hurt any person.

1. God has created man so that he might wield the talent of manliness and achieve victory. His purpose is not to make man a consumer of food, a burden upon earth, an animal that is slave to its senses. He does not aim at creating a horde of idlers and loungers, who shy at hard work, and accumulating fat, grow into monstrous shapes.

2. One should never give up his duties (Karma). At the same time one should desist from aspiring for the fruits of Karma. You have right only over your actions, not on its result. Good actions will yield good results. Our actions are responsible for all our sorrows adn difficulties.

3. Children today give up good old traditions forgetting the path given by our ancestors due to the effect of modern educations. They are therefore exposed to various kinds of unrest and mental agitation. They not only suffer from restlessness but also lack of contentment and satisfaction inlife, with the result that they are becoming mentally and physically sick.

4. Therefore always have good thoughts. A person who eats good food, drinks clean water and breathes unpolluted air will remain healthy. All that we consume must always be pure. We should take daily bath, eat good food and have sound sleep. We can then lead a happy, healthy and peaceful sleep.

5. Never think that someone is putting you to trouble. You should not blame others for your difficulties and problems as our actions are responsible for our state of mind. Develop strong faith in GOD; always feel He is with me and will protect me. The sorrows and difficulties are like passing clouds. Clouds cannot over-shadow the sun for ever; they are not permanent; they come and go.

6. When your mind is disturbed and wavering, you will experience sorrows and difficulties. When your mind is clear, firm and steady with complete faith in God, worries can not disturb you.

1. There are many forms and branches of knowledge and there are many educated persons in the world. But education without intelligence is of little use. What is the meaning of Vidya (Education) ? Vidya does not mean bookish knowledge; it implies knowledge that come from the heart. It is eternal and changeless. Vidya connotes the knowledge of self; it is not mere secular education. Atma Vidya (Knowledge of the Self) is true knowledge.

2. In life you should face difficulties with courage reposing faith in God. If you constantly contemplate of God, no other thoughts will trouble you. Sorrows and difficulties will not effect you. You should always be happy. Happiness is union with God. You may have some physical pain or suffering or mental anxiety; but if you are firmly established in the Atma Tattwa (Principle of the Self) you will not be bothered by them.

3. Our karmas (actions) are responsible for the happiness and sorrow we experience in life. When we perform good actions, we get good results. Bad actions have bad results. Therefore, cultivate good thoughts and undertake good actions.
