Is the meaning of human life only in being desireless?

July 12th, 2024

The human body is the best gift of God. We have got this body after wandering in so many births according to the deeds of our previous births. The anatomy of no creature in the world is as excellent as that of man. God has given man a body endowed with all qualities. Each and every part of it, each and every sense is unique in its functionality.

Most people consider this body to be everything and do not feel the need to think beyond it. They keep decorating this body all the time and keep on satisfying their senses. Most people forget the soul present in it. They forget that the body is mortal but the soul is immortal. The body gets destroyed, God has graciously given it to us only for some time. This is just a means, the abode of the soul through which it can attain salvation by walking on the path of salvation. What is the goal of human life? Most people consider attainment of heaven as their only goal. But; where is this heaven? It is determined and created by our state of mind. We ourselves create the state of heaven or hell on the basis of our conduct and circumstances. It is necessary that we set a clear goal of our life. The only goal of life is to firmly express the latent divinity within us and realize our real existence. There is only one God sitting within everyone and he is the inner soul of everyone. He is the giver of the results of actions and he is inside everyone. Every human being is a form of God, due to circumstances he has strayed from his path, after knowing this great truth, the ultimate goal of man is to inculcate this divinity in his conduct.

A life of wisdom is the true human life. There is no place for desire and useless thinking in it. The reason is that neither these two lead to our welfare nor make the society beautiful. It is proved that every desire arises from disrespect for one’s own knowledge. Desire is another name for the interest in taking pleasure from a person, object, situation, situation etc. The essence of curiosity cannot be called desire, because its fulfillment is not possible with any object etc. Love also cannot be called desire, because selflessness is inherent in its nature. Yoga also cannot be called desire, because only when there is no desire and thinking, eternal yoga is possible. By being free from desire, all problems – physical, social and mental – can be solved. Making good use of the situation is not desire. It is devotion to duty. Desire binds a person only in thinking about the future and future, it does not solve any problem. The root cause of the social problems that are before us today is that we dream of solving the problem by misusing power and disrespecting prudence – which is never possible. Every sensible person knows this very well and must also agree that problems cannot be solved due to weakness and ignorance. The thing that is achieved by hard work and action cannot be achieved by mere wishing and thinking. For that, one has to be industrious.

For the welfare of ourselves and the society, it is essential that selfishness be transformed into a sense of service. To get life from things, we have to make good use of the things we get and serve people, that is, we have to protect the rights of others and sacrifice our own rights through our actions. By doing this, attachment to things will also disappear. By erasing attachment, selfishness will disappear and as soon as selfishness disappears, the awakening of the sense of service will happen automatically. After the awakening of the sense of service, there is nothing left for the seeker to do or achieve. It is important to keep in mind that love arises only when there is no desire. The reason is that only the seeker who does not want enjoyment and salvation gets love. Everyone must agree that without love, there is no increase in rasa, without realization of the element, immortality is not attained and without the tendency for the welfare of all, the creation of a beautiful society and world peace is impossible. Therefore, it is proved beyond doubt that the meaning of human life lies in being desireless. Remember, every person is free to be free of desires. A person’s life is his own, he has to decorate it himself. We cannot live by imitating others. In society we have to live with others for some time but when we are in our own home, then only our mind is with us. At that time we get the support of our Sadhana only. And when we have to live with the Sadhana of our mind, then why don’t we make our mind such a Kalpavriksha, such a Kamadhenu, that the contemplation of our life can become fertile.

It is essential to have both materialism and spirituality in life. Materialism is the means and spirituality is the end. The meaning of life lies in considering the body as the means and planning the life program. Your usefulness to the society is the meaning of your life. We are born for a specific purpose and the fulfillment of that purpose is the meaning of life. We do not know that purpose, so by proving useful to the society, the purpose is fulfilled somewhere. The essence of life is your ultimate truth. Once you adopt the essence, life becomes meaningful. In simple words, it should give you peace, make you feel alive and fulfill your purpose. For some people it may be bringing peace or spreading love. The meaning of life lies in sacrificing your life for others without expecting any reward. It helps us to build good relationships with the people around us.
Invite my best friends

July 12th, 2024

If you could host a dinner and anyone you invite was sure to come, who would you invite?

If I organize a dinner, I will invite my special friends. Because we get a chance to sit and eat with family members every day. But friends never come to eat without being invited. The most important thing is that when all the friends come, it will be a different kind of gathering. Laughter, fun, jokes, and many such things that will refresh my mind and heart. I am fond of cooking and serving food like this. If my friends come, I will cook their favorite dishes and feed them. Sometimes when I invite friends to my house, then we all form a circle in a big plate and eat together. That day my happiness knows no bounds. We eat a lot of food while talking.

It is believed that whoever worships Lord Bholenath with full devotion on Monday of Shrawan gets the desired bride or groom. Apart from this, keeping a fast on Monday of Sawan strengthens the position of the moon in the horoscope and apart from this, the inauspicious effect of Rahu-Ketu is removed.

Growing age is a treasure trove of experience

July 11th, 2024

What do you think gets better with age?

Growing old is a reality that everyone should accept. Sometimes we start to shudder at the thought of growing old, but scientific evidence shows that life gets better with age. Not all thinking skills and patterns peak at the same age. For example, teenagers may have a lot of energy, but older adults have the best vocabulary, creativity and the best ideas to solve problems. With age comes more understanding and experience. It is not necessary that every person’s mental state improves with age, but some people can say on the basis of their experience that their mental state is better than before or they are able to think and understand more than before. That is why whenever we have to take any advice, we want to listen to the experience and words of an older person because with age the maturity level increases and your mental condition is better than before.

Older people make better decisions.

Older people make better decisions. Are more emotionally stable and less impulsive than their younger peers. Older people better understand the importance of each decision because they know the value of their time, energy and happiness. Pay less attention to the little things, and enjoy life more. Invest in the emotionally important parts of life, hence are happier day to day,

People with growing age know how to fight the circumstances.

People with growing age know how to fight the circumstances.As you grow older, your responsibilities increase, which can cause depression, but the right way to fight depression also comes with age. As you become more mature, you realize that there is a lot of difference in the way depression is dealt with. If you rewind time, this time the way to deal with depression will be much better than the last time.

have a good mindset

Creativity, athletic prowess and imagination are often associated with youth. But research shows that older people are most adept at ‘experimental’ thinking which reflects years of accumulated knowledge, education and experience. Their skills peak in the mid 50s. They are able to think out of the box and generate lots of possibilities for different situations.

People who feel themselves young, they too become more honest with increasing age. They learn to control their emotions. Anyway, these qualities come with increasing age. People become calm with the experiences of life. It is not that people who remain young at heart remain childish in their thinking. Their mental health is better than others. They are less prone to forgetfulness. Older people can think about the welfare of a healthy society and country with their experiences.so I think Growing age is a treasure trove of experience.
Does god decide the relationship between husband and wife?

July 10th, 2024

We have been hearing this saying since childhood that couples are made in heaven but they have to be maintained on earth. There are many truths related to our life which need to be accepted and a proper balance is needed in married life. The most important thing in a husband-wife relationship is to love each other. If you love your partner’s inner beauty without bothering about her outer looks, then your relationship will last for seven lives. Your relationship will become an ideal relationship only when you love your partner without any selfishness. Husband and wife should always respect each other’s desires.

Patience is necessary to maintain a relationship

Tolerance is very important for maintaining a good relationship. Like every husband and wife, we also have petty fights. Not only husband and wife, but every relationship in this world is decided by God for us. We humans are just puppets in His hands. This principle of rebirth continues in the form of a cycle with our relationships, connections etc. Someone is a friend, someone is an enemy, someone is a lover. Someone is a husband, someone is a wife. Someone is a mother or father, someone is a brother or sister. Relationships may be formed by chance, but both the husband and wife have to make a lot of efforts to maintain them. I feel that there should not be any kind of secrecy in married life. If husband and wife share everything of their heart with each other like good friends, then the sweetness of the relationship remains.

Who initiated the marriage?

Aryans or Vedic Rishis were the first to introduce social systems on earth to civilize humans and tie people into a civilized society. Rishis challenged the bestial system in later times and considering it as bestial relationship, made new marriage rules. There is a reference of Rishi Swetaketu in Vedic literature that he established the marriage system to protect dignity and from then on the family system started. If there is no marriage, then there is no family. The practice of marriage was started by Vedic Rishis in ancient times itself. Living life only after marriage is a sign of being civilized. Marriage ceremony is the ‘Trayodash Sanskar’ in Hindu religious rituals. Postgraduate life is the time of marriage, that is, after studying, one has to get married and enter the householder’s stage. ‘Brahma Vivaah’ is considered one of the 16 rituals of Hindus. Only husband and wife together form a family. Only a strong family can form a clan and this is how the social structure develops, like a tree flourishes only when its roots are firmly planted in the ground. That tree becomes hollow if there is separation within it and gets uprooted in the storms of life. 7 rounds and 7 vows are prevalent in Hinduism. Probably that is why this belief has come into vogue that the relationship of husband and wife lasts for 7 births, so do they get separated in the 8th birth? Or were they in a relationship with someone else before this first birth or is this the 7th birth for both of them?

There are many people who do not marry in a proper Vedic Hindu way but marry in some other arbitrary way. They do not even care about the Muhurta, time, Ashtakoot matching, Mangaldosha etc. Its bad consequences are also visible automatically. Actually, marriage in Hinduism is not only a sanskar but it is a completely scientific method which ensures the future life of a person and which gives a right condition and direction to his future. In Hinduism, marriage is not a contract or agreement, rather it is a spiritual relationship which is decided after careful thinking and knowing the destiny and present on the basis of astrology. There is no transaction of any kind in this marriage.

What does the relationship between Shiva and Parvati teach us?

Lord Shiva loved his wife Sati so much that he could not live without her even for a moment. Similarly, Mata Sati was so full of love for her husband Shiva that she could not bear his insult in her father’s yagya and committed suicide. But it was this love that reunited Sati with Shiva in her next birth. She was born as Parvati and eventually she got all the memories of her previous birth. Lord Shiva, who was antaryaami, knew everything.Similarly, if your wife or husband has been your partner in your previous birth, then definitely you will have a different kind of love and respect for him or her and he or she will have a different kind of love and respect for you, which will be understood only after looking deeply. Take some time out from this hectic life and look into the eyes of your wife or husband.

There are 4 types of minds inside our mind – one conscious mind, second unconscious mind, third subconscious mind, fourth collective mind. The subconscious mind is called the cosmic mind in which the memories and accumulated karmas of all our previous and future births are stored. When we meet a person who was our partner in our previous birth, we get connected to his mind as soon as we come in contact with him or when his and our aura collide with each other, then we feel something good and we are naturally filled with devotion and loving feelings towards each other. Feelings of kindness, love, compassion and a desire to talk to that person arise in our mind. Here it is important to keep in mind which feelings are arising within you. It may be that there is attraction only due to physical beauty. Hindu marriage is a relationship of many births between husband and wife which cannot be broken under any circumstances. By taking 7 rounds of fire and considering the Pole Star as a witness, two bodies, minds and souls get tied in a sacred bond. In Hindu marriage, more importance is given to the spiritual relationship between husband and wife than the physical relationship and this relationship is established by religious marriage and keeping in mind the vows and rounds of that marriage and by gaining faith. For a person who has not studied religion, spirituality and philosophy in his childhood, marriage is just a sacrament.

Importance of lust in married life?

Lust has a very trivial and secondary place in married life, the main purpose is to create that great power arising from the union of two souls, which can prove helpful in the development of the worldly and spiritual life of both. The Shruti says – the couple who follow the vow of immense love by coordinating two bodies, two minds and intellects, two hearts, two souls and two spirits, follow the ideal of love of Uma-Maheshwar, this is the form of marriage.
My Fix time to sleep and wake up

July 10th, 2024

What time do you go to bed and wake up currently?

Since childhood, we have been hearing ‘Early to bed and early to rise’, that is, sleeping early at night and waking up early in the morning is beneficial for both health and wealth. But due to busy lifestyle, people now sleep and wake up as per their convenience. The habit of waking up early in the morning and sleeping early at night can get rid of many health problems. But due to busy lifestyle, it becomes very difficult to follow it.

I wake up every day at 6:00 am. Morning walk and exercise are part of my daily routine. After that I work for the whole day, and then go to bed at 11:00 pm. On Saturday night we sleep a little late and wake up late on Sunday morning. Waking up too early is not my cup of tea. Because by doing this I don’t get enough sleep. And then I feel tired all day. I have been following this routine for many years. Perhaps I will continue to do the same in the coming days as well.
scientific benefits of Hindu people tie thread on their wrists?

July 9th, 2024

You must have often seen that after worship in homes and temples, Pandit ji ties a red colored thread on our wrists and, many of us get it tied on our hands without realizing its need. Actually, the Mauli thread is not just any thread, rather, it is prepared from raw cotton and, it is in many colors like red, black, yellow or saffron. People usually tie Mauli on the wrist of the hand. And, it is believed that by tying Mauli on the hand, a person gets the blessings of Lord Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh and the three goddesses – Lakshmi, Parvati and Saraswati.

It is said that by tying a Mauli thread on the hand, a person is protected from evil eyes because God protects him. And, this is said because tying a Mauli thread on the hand blesses a person’s health because, by tying this thread on the wrist, there is harmony between the Vata, Pitta and Kapha doshas in the body. And, this harmony is achieved because the main control of the body’s structure is in the wrist. You must have seen that doctors primarily use the vein of the wrist to measure blood pressure and heart rate. That is why scientifically, the Mauli thread tied on the hand works like an acupressure and protects a person from serious diseases like blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes and paralysis to a great extent and the person tying it remains healthy.

Raksha Sutra is tied on the right hand of men and unmarried girls and on the left hand of married women. The hand in which Kalava or Mauli is tied should be clenched and the other hand should be on the head. For this pious work, one should be observant and have the feeling of accepting responsibility. If new clothes are not worn while worshiping, then Mauli must be worn in the hand. Have faith in religion. On Tuesday or Saturday, remove the old Mauli and wear a new one. Raksha Sutra protects us even in times of crisis.

The tradition of tying Kalava is going on since the time when Lord Vaman tied a protective thread on the wrist of the great and foremost donor Maharaj Bali for his immortality. It is also tied on the body as a protective shield. Before any auspicious work or before any worship, Tilak is applied and Raksha Sutra is tied on the hands and then the worship is started. It is said that when Indra was going to fight with Vritrasura, Indrani Shachi tied a sacred thread on Indra’s right arm as a protective shield and Indra won the war. Since then, this protective thread is tied. The obstacles of its ritual are removed.
Similarly, wealth is obtained from Lakshmi, power from Durga and wisdom from the grace of Saraswati.

Why is the thread wrapped three times?

To remind you that there are three responsibilities or debts on your shoulders – responsibility towards parents, responsibility towards society and responsibility towards knowledge. These are our three responsibilities or debts. We are indebted to our parents, we are indebted to society, and we are indebted to the Guru; that is, towards knowledge. So these are three types of debts, and Yagyopaveet reminds us of these three responsibilities. When we say ‘debt’, we think it is a loan which we have to repay. But we should understand it as a responsibility. To remember our responsibilities, towards the previous generation, towards the coming generation and towards the present generation. And that is why, you wrap the thread three times.
Meditation Exercises and Friends

July 9th, 2024

What strategies do you use to increase comfort in your daily life?

Everyone performs different activities in their daily routine like bathing, eating, cooking, grooming, cleaning etc. Such activities help us to function effectively in life. But apart from these we should also do something that can make our daily life organized.

I believe in keeping a clean mindset to increase comfort in my day to day life. For this I wake up early in the morning and do exercise and meditation. Meditation makes me aware of both my weaknesses and strengths. By doing this, I feel a simple attitude and satisfaction throughout the day which helps me in carrying out my responsibilities both at home and outside.Meditation can give you a sense of peace, relaxation and balance that can benefit your emotional health and your overall well-being. You can also use it to relax and deal with stress by focusing on something that calms you.

We meet so many people throughout the day, some of them make us happy and some make us sad. By meditating, I am able to balance myself with all these things very quickly. And exercise helps me to work harder. It also helps me to spend a pain-free day.

Apart from this, I also like to spend some time with friends. Friends are such balm, which sometimes heals your wounds easily. But for this, true friendship is necessary.
Achieving self-knowledge

July 8th, 2024

What are you most excited about for the future?

In our religion, we are taught to follow the path of religion from childhood. In childhood, we are excited to study and become a successful person in our future. We work hard and achieve our goals one day. Then we enjoy all the comforts while living with family. But sometimes, apart from all these things, there is a longing in our mind to do something else. Similarly, I also want to do something in my future which will give peace to my mind. I am most excited about walking on the path of enlightenment and gaining complete knowledge. I am eager to study ancient spiritual texts to deepen my understanding and knowledge. I believe in Hinduism. I want to study all the many books written in our religion, about which I have heard from my father. I have a hobby of going to libraries in India and abroad and reading them. I am also very fond of traveling. In this way, both my hobbies will be fulfilled.

For the future, I am most excited about social contribution. When I get retired then I want to do a lot for my society. I want that our society should be such where all people get equal rights and respect. Here all people should be united and support each other, whether they are poor or rich, there should be no discrimination on the basis of caste, religion, or gender. There should be a feeling of justice, equality, and cooperation in the society, so that everyone can develop and everyone has a good future. I pray to God everyday that he should make my future dreams come true.
is remedy for planets is in your home itself?

July 7th, 2024

Our health has a direct connection with the planets. Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn, these three planets are somewhere the cause of our physical and mental problems. If the position of these planets in the horoscope is bad, then understand that a person’s life can be filled with diseases and pain. But do you know that the remedy for these planets is in your home itself?

If your Sun is weak then you go to 50 places to inquired. But have you ever thought who is Sun? Sun is your father. If your father is not respected in your house then your Sun will remain weak. You say that your Moon is weak. Moon means mother. If you hurt your mother then how far will your Moon remain good. Similarly Mars is your brother. If you maintain love with your brothers then your Mars will remain good. If you want to make Jupiter means Guru good then learn to respect your Guru. If you want to make your Venus good then learn to respect your wife. Your Saturn will become good only when you think about your staff, workers, labour, take care of their needs then Saturn can never harm you. We go to expensive showrooms and buy expensive clothes, shoes and other necessary things for ourselves. But if the rickshaw puller or taxi driver asks for even ₹2 more then we start arguing with him. People from rich families keep bargaining while buying vegetables. Do you know that they do not indulge in any extravagance with the money taken from you. The money taken from you is the only means of providing food to their family. When we start looking at the poor with a little affection, then our Saturn can never be bad. Due to the planet Saturn, relations with father, mother-in-law, father-in-law, sons, daughters and friends become good. This planet is responsible for the relationship between grandfather and grandson.

Your relationship with your siblings, maternal uncles and your opponents is determined by Mercury. And Ketu is for your relationship with your maternal grandfather. Rahu is related to your grandfather as well as people from your in-laws’ side. If your relationships are good, if there is love and respect in them, then the planets will have a positive effect on your life and relationships. People adopt many measures for the positive effect of planets, but it is better to keep your relationships right than adopting other measures.
