Swamiji Sri Sri Ravi Shankar explains us nicely how to live happily and purposefully in this world.
1. He says firmly that we must have an aim in life and further He teaches us as follows.
2. Stream is different from flood. In stream, the water flows in a systematic way. Where as in floods, the water flows as it likes.
3. In the same manner, the energy present in us should flow like water in the river, as it has got certain direction, otherwise, nothing but confusion prevails. Now a day, majority of the people’s condition is without any specific direction, just like a ship without rudder.
4. When you are in happy moods, so much life- energy is accumulated inside the body, and never allows it to be stagnated there and get itself rotted. It should flow freely.
5. Life runs with commitment only. Every small or big things in our life, goes with certain commitment. For example: 1. Family runs on commitment, 2 Mother is committed to the child and the child in turn to the parents.3. Wife is committed to her husband and vice versa, 4. A student takes admission in a school or college with commitment.
6. Commitment is highly essential to make this life energy to flow into the right and good directions.
7. We feel delighted when we take troubles for the sake of our family members. We never take it as labor or hardship, but we feel it ‘’as our responsibility’’. It is nothing but our commitment to our family.
8. If you extend this same kind of commitment beyond your family limits, to your neighbors also you will get plenty of joy.
9. Like that creativity is also important and it springs up when you are relaxed. Unless you renounce all the work you have done that whole day, you cannot rest in the night and have sound sleep.
10. Millions Of people in this world are struggling or frustrated, because they are not creative. So take out some time for yourself to spend alone in meditation, which in turn improves the quality of your life and makes you to live peacefully in this busy world.
11. Unless you know the art of living, you cannot live your life, you cannot enjoy the happy moments in your life and also to bear the sadness in the life.
12. You wish always that you should not get troubles or face hardships, and life should go easily .You will never think of future as you are confident that future is bright. But that is not the real life and is almost equal to a stone, which is motionless and is aimless.
13. The adage is ‘’life is not a bed of roses but full of thorns’’. Life is a combination light and darkness, joy and grief and luck and unlucky which follow each other in a sequence. We cannot avoid and deny them but have to invite and bear them happily. But they are with us temporarily and leave us in a happy situation.
14. Spend silent moments for a certain period of time and in silence you will get the benefit of prayer, which brings faith or self- confidence.
