"परिस्थितियों का रोना न रोयें"

लंबी-चौड़ी योजनाएँ बनाने की अपेक्षा अपने पास मौजूद साधनों को लेकर ही छोटे-मोटे कार्यों में जुट जाया जाए तो भी प्रगति का सशक्त आधार बन सकता है । परिस्थितियाँ अनुकूल होंगी - साधनों का बाहुल्य होगा, तब व्यवसाय आरंभ करेंगे, यह सोचते रहने की तुलना में अपने अल्प साधनों को लेकर काम में जुट जाना कहीं अधिक श्रेयस्कर है । काम छोटा हो अथवा बड़ा उसमें सफलता के कारण, साधन नहीं, अथक पुरुषार्थ, लगन एवं प्रामाणिकता बनते हैं । देखा जाए तो विश्व के सभी मूर्धन्य संपन्न सामान्य स्थिति से उठकर असामान्य तक पहुँचे । साधन एवं परिस्थितियाँ तो प्रतिकूल ही थीं, पर अपनी श्रमनिष्ठा एवं मनोयोग के सहारे सफलता के शिखर पर जा चढ़े । वे यदि परिस्थितियों का रोना रोते रहते तो अन्य व्यक्तियों के समान ही हाथ पर हाथ धरे बैठे रहते और संपन्न बनने की कल्पना में मन बहलाते रहते ।

"Avoid Wailing Over Circumstances"

Instead of making big plans, the utilization of available tools and working on whatever small tasks are on our hands, can provide a sound footing for progress. It is far better to plunge into work with minimum available resources, rather than waiting for comfortable situation and abundance of instruments. For any task, small or big, success does not depend on tools and resources, but untiring efforts, perseverance and honesty are the roots for success. If we see, all noble rich people of the world have risen from a very ordinary situation to the amazing level. Situations were always unfavorable and tools were limited, but with their sincere efforts and right attitude, they reached the pinnacle of success. Had they kept wailing over circumstances, they would have been sitting idle even today, pampering the mind in imagination of illusive riches.

"सदुपदेश की संगति"

जब आप सदुपदेशों की संगति में रहते हैं, तो गुप्त रूप से अच्छाई में बदलते भी रहते हैं, यह सूक्ष्म मनोवैज्ञानिक प्रक्रिया स्थूल नेत्रों से दीखती नहीं है, किंतु इसका प्रभाव तीव्र होता रहता है। अंततः मनुष्य उन्हीं के अनुसार बदल जाता है।

"Good Company of Sermons"

 

When you are exposed to sermons and good thoughts, silently, internally, you keep on changing towards nobility and humbleness. This is a psychological process working at micro level, not visible through physical eyes, but having a profound influence on our life style. Ultimately the man is molded accordingly.

Thought Power

Those who adopt good moral conduct in place of wicked conduct, achieve excellent life and longevity. They obtain physical and mental purity while being blessed with money and children. For the upliftment of the soul, the foremost requirement is the excellence of character.

Forgetting is also Important

It is not correct to think that God did an injustice by instilling in us a trait of forgetting past memories. No. He has intelligently designed our brain and its amazing capabilities. If we keep on storing old details in memory, at a point of time there can be no room for thinking about present activity. Therefore, the information stored on the surface today gradually sinks to lower level as time goes, making brain cells free for new data processing of day to day activity. In the same way as a wave on water surface moves ahead vacating the space for the succeeding wave that follows behind. This is a reason for forgetting old, past information.

Selfless Deeds

When helping others becomes the only motive of a man, there does not remain a slightest fraction of any selfish desire. He gets extreme pleasure in charity and service of others. The service rendered without expecting any reward imparts a unique pleasure and joy. These selfless deeds provide tremendous spiritual power and internal strength.
