Art of Living by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

 

Swamiji says-usually we heard the following statements from the people as: I, My life, what I achieved, my name and my fame. Does the above statement have any real meaning?

 

Remember one thing: Our life is of very short duration on this earth. Many people lived here before your birth and they left this world already. We are also like that. No exception.

 

Ignorance is the base of egoism. Usually you are of the opinion that ‘’I KNOW EVERY THING’’.

First of all it is better to know about yourself, then the shallow in you comes out, and then the following questions gradually arise in you. They are:

1. Who am I?

2. Why I came to this world?

3. What has to be achieved by me?

If you could get answers to the above questions, then you stop thinking in these terms as below:

1. Somebody said about me like this and that.

That person did not answer to my enquiry or to my questions. By hook or crook I must my strength to them and teach them a lesson.

Our life goes on depending on circumstances. Certain troubles are common in life, but you enjoy the every minute of life given by the Almighty – GOD.

So do not go on worrying about minor ailments and spoil your life. The meaning of human being is filling happiness in the mind. Nothing will give trouble to us provided we have strong faith and loving others feeling in us.

As everything available in this universe is not sweet, like that all our experiences are not good in nature. Sometimes we may commit mistakes. But have faith in you and think like this:


I can face any trouble and GOD is there to look after me.


Suppose you never did any mistakes in life and face no troubles, then you would never have pleasant moments in life. Failures and troubles make life beautiful.
