We have been hearing from elders – peace is important in life and living peacefully is in our hands.  Peace can be found only when life is simple.  And really life is very simple but we are intent on making it complicated.  Anyway, in Indian culture, importance has always been given to simple life and high thoughts.  Anyway, no one wants to be disorganized, confused, confused and under pressure.  Crowding, whether of people or things, desires or expectations, breaks a person’s concentration and makes him indifferent to the more important tasks of life.  Effort to save yourself from getting lost in the crowd is the key to a simple life. It is very important to have simplicity in life because if we always remain artificial then we will never be able to take the right decision and by having patience, we can survive in any situation.  Are able to maintain the courage to succeed.  Simplicity is the beauty of life and restraint helps us in achieving success in any situation.

Simplicity is to live comfortably, to balance between one’s needs and desires, to be happy with limited resources and to be natural.  Why not learn this way of living?  Simplicity avoids waste, teaches thrift, avoids complex value conflicts caused by greed, fear, peer pressure and a false sense of identity.  Simplicity leads to generosity and sharing.  Simplicity is putting others first, without expectations and conditions, with kindness, openness, and pure intentions. Simplicity is not sacrifice, nor is it a display of poverty.  This is a simple path, which can save you from many difficulties and stress.  If happiness was derived from money or accumulation, there would not have been stress, depression or heart problems in the rich countries of the world.  This can be understood with a small example.

Women’s wardrobe is full of clothes, yet they think every day about what to wear today.  The reason for this is that there are too many options, which affects their ability to choose, that is, they find themselves unable to take decisions.  As bad as not having options is, having too many options is worse.  If there are limited options then it does not take time to think and the choice becomes easier.  This saves time and energy and does not put unnecessary pressure on the mind, whereas due to too many options, the person’s mind does not become stable and remains fickle.  The biggest benefit of simplicity is that it brings quality to a person’s work.  As soon as he becomes aware of what and why is important in life, he starts managing his desires properly.  This reduces dilemmas and brings clarity in outlook.  It is important to assess your needs and desires from time to time.  Many times it happens that the thing which feels convenient today, becomes the cause of inconvenience in future.  It may be someone’s desire to own a big house today, but with increasing age the same house may become inconvenient because he is unable to maintain it properly. As a person develops the habit of living in simplicity, the tendency to accumulate less.  It starts happening.  Due to this, the layers of stress and pressure which were increasing the burden begin to open.  Instead of thinking about what things can bring happiness, a person starts thinking about what things can be happy without.  Instead of getting trapped in the mirage of desires and accumulating resources throughout life, efforts should be made to change one’s thinking. Simplicity is a great virtue that one can follow in life.  We are rightly advised by the wise to believe in simple living and high thinking.  We should follow simplicity in our food habits.  We should have simple but nutritious food. We should have a simple life-style.  We should follow simplicity in our speech and manners.  We should be sweet, polite and courteous in our words.

Today’s world is living a life of pretense.  Many very rich people only show off on the outside and are hollow on the inside.  By doing this, he is putting not only his own but also his family’s life and respect in danger.  If you stop pretending then no one will ask you why you don’t have this thing.  And if someone assesses your situation then so be it.  Don’t put your situation in jeopardy because of people.  Every person should know his age.  No matter how beautiful women, adorned with material resources, feel about themselves, a woman without makeup and dressed neatly is more attractive in her place.  So accept simplicity as you age.
