Guest guest Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 I find many people sad. People who are rich and in a high position also are sad. Why? Please tell us what we need to do ? There are two reasons for this. People are sad thinking of the past. Don't you know that the past is beyond recovery? Having walked all along and passed by several things, why do you need to look back? Past is past. Don't brood over the past. The second reason for sadness is worry about the future. Where is the guarantee that you will survive until your plans are realised? Do you know what will happen to you in the next moment? What is destined and bound to happen will happen in its own course. Everything goes according to God's will. Why do you worry? The future is uncertain. Suppose you go on accumulating money with the idea of educating your son and sending him abroad, where is the guarantee that he will study well? So don't think of the past and future. Live in the present and be happy. This is not the ordinary present. This is omnipresent. One simple example here. In the past it was a tree. In the present you have a seed of that tree. In the future it grows into a tree. So the present is the result of the past. It is the foundation of the future. Keep this in mind. Then,,you will never worry and feel sad. There is another reason for sadness. Unlimited desires also are responsible for your sadness. For example, if you drop a piece of cloth, it falls down. Why? Due to its weight it falls down, doesn't it? But if it is cotton, it never goes down, instead it goes up. Why? Since it is light in weight it goes up, the man on the moon loses his weight. Having been a householder for fifty years you should be totally detached. A grhasta, householder, should become a vanaprastha, recluse and finally, a sanyasi, renunciant. If your desires are less, you will be happier. " Less luggage more comfort make travel a pleasure " , is the slogan of the railways. The more you love God the more will you be happy. For this, faith is necessary. Where there is Faith, there is Love. Where there is Love, there is Peace. Where there is Peace, there is Truth Where there is Truth, there is God. Where there is God, there is Bliss. It begins with faith and ends in Bliss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
