What are your morning rituals? What does the first hour of your day look like?
My morning routine starts with a morning walk for half an hour. After the morning walk, after taking a bath and freshening up, the first thing I do is offer water to the Sun God. Then I sit in my worship place and worship the Lord. If I worship the Lord early in the morning, I If we do this, our mind is focused on God. I try to remain silent in the morning until I worship God. Only after the puja, I try to energize myself with a cup of tea. After that I prepare breakfast for my husband and children. Similarly, along with household chores, I also write blogs. The early morning time is full of hustle and bustle. One task after another gets fixed. But doing all this smoothly also has its own fun. In the first hour of the morning, I look no less than a runner.
Today’s humans have become very lazy. He has forgotten to carry out his daily routine properly. If a human being wants to live a happy, peaceful and healthy life, then he will have to give a proper shape to his daily routine. In today’s modern times, the daily routine has become very different, but today’s people have also become very conscious about their daily routine because if If a person’s daily routine does not run properly then all his work stops. Therefore, we should do the work according to time so that our daily routine also continues properly and smoothly.
Good health, self-esteem and happiness are important aspects of life in my opinion, which make any person special. It does not matter what you are doing in your life, be it business, power, education or service. , you are doing this because somewhere deep within you there is a feeling that it will make you happy. Whatever we do on this earth, we do it with the desire to be happy, because this is our basic nature. When you were a child, you were just happy. That is your nature. The source of happiness is within you, you can make it a living experience forever. The first and foremost responsibility of a human being is to be a happy being. Being happy is not the ultimate aspect of life. This is a basic aspect of life. If you are not happy, what can you do with your life? Once you are happy, other great possibilities open up. What you think is not important, what you feel is not important. What you think has nothing to do with reality. It has no great importance for life. The mind just remains entangled in those useless things which you have collected from somewhere else. If you find that important, you will never be able to see beyond that.
Suffering is not showered upon us, it is created. And the factory that makes it is in your mind. Whatever you do, you expand and awaken your inner qualities. Whether you like it or not, this is the reality. Unless something important happens within you, you cannot do anything very important to the world. So if you are worried about the world, the first thing you should do is to transform yourself into a happy being. Today the whole universe is working very well but a germ of some thought that came into your mind can make you It forces you to believe that today is a bad day. Attaining age is one aspect and living that age is another aspect. Age is increasing, but life is decreasing. Age will continue to increase as long as there is a thread of life, but living that age depends on one’s understanding, one’s vision and one’s discretion. Unless life is lived wisely, it will be said that one has lived to the age of 100 years, but it is difficult to say that one has lived a life of 100 years. Life can be a process of growing or aging. To grow is to add years to life and to grow old is to add years to life. The basic thing is not age. What matters is living life. Who lives with ease and intelligence is important. Life is not just about breathing, living life by making the breath fragrant. Suffering occurs mainly because most of the people have lost the right perspective towards this life. Their psychological process has become greater than the process of existence or simply put, you have made your creation more important than the Creator’s creation. This is the fundamental source of all suffering. We have lost all understanding of what it means to survive here. Any thought in your mind or any feeling in your mind determines the nature of your experience at the moment. And it may also be that your thoughts and feelings have nothing to do with the limited reality of your life. The whole creation is happening in a wonderful way but just one thought or emotion can destroy everything.
See the mind in its true form. What you call ‘my mind’ is not actually yours. You have no mind of your own. Please pay attention to this. What you call ‘my mind’ is just the dustbin of society. Anyone and everyone who passes by you puts something in your mind. You can’t really choose from whom you accept things and from whom you don’t. If you say, ‘I don’t like this person’, you will receive more from that person than from anyone else. You have no choice. This dustbin can be useful if you know how to repair and use it. This pile of influence and information that you have accumulated is just useful for surviving in the world. It has nothing to do with who you are. What you think is not important, what you feel is not important. What you think has nothing to do with reality. It has no great importance for life. The mind just remains entangled in those useless things which you have collected from somewhere else. If you find that important, you will never be able to see beyond it. Food is necessary to live, water is more important than food, air is more important than water and air is more important than air. To live vibrantly. But nothing is necessary to die. It doesn’t take much effort to die. We die every day because of our ignorance. Sometimes out of frustration and sometimes out of stupidity. Sometimes ego kills us and sometimes we become victims of death at the hands of frustration. It is true that living life amid today’s problems is as courageous as jumping from a plane without a parachute. But no one can kill the one who knows how to live. When we realize the value of life, we start respecting every moment of life, whether it is happy or full of sorrows. Before life reaches the stage of death, our effort should be that even if we live less, we should always live as a pillar of light.
Be it the volcano of sorrows or the waves of tsunami, never let your life break. Anyway, in the last moments of life, we all have to leave this world by handing over our life’s earnings to the family and offering our body to the crematorium. If you keep this reality in front of you continuously, then maybe you will enjoy the real happiness of living. Neither should any disease or illness arise in the body, nor should sinful tendencies arise in the mind, nor should property ever be misused.
If you could have something named after you, what would it be?
If there is anything in my name, it will be a big house to serve the old people. In old age homes, the elderly people, rejected by their families, take shelter even against their will. There are some such old people in old age homes, of their own free will, without any concrete reason. Spending old age here. It was never a thing in Indian culture that parents should be sent somewhere else if they were helpless. In India, even helpless animals are given support. Even when a cow stops giving milk, it is still nurtured in the same way as before. Then what kind of punishment is this to the old parents?
Children who are always active and striving for the rights and respect of the elders of the society make their elders experience happiness. At this stage of age they need love and care the most. At such a time, today’s young generation leaves their aged parents in old age homes. How many such children are there in our society who remember their childhood when they grow up. When he used to defecate on his bed at night while sleeping. Who knows how many nights our mother would have made us sleep dry by sleeping on the part of the bed that was wet with our urine. She would not have slept the whole night because of one cough or sneeze of ours. Who knows how much hard work our father must have put in to ensure that our future is beautiful. It is a matter of deep pain that today the cases of lonely old age are increasing day by day in the society. When the parents, who have suffered all their life for their children, are pushed to the threshold of old age home in a helpless state, then I understand that There can be no greater misfortune in life than this. While doing this, the children should definitely think that one day they will also be in the same condition. Because the way they are behaving with their parents, their children are also going to behave with them in the same way. One should take care not only of one’s parents but also of every elderly person who cannot stand on his own feet. There cannot be happiness, satisfaction and self-respect in a family where elders are not respected. Our elders are our self-respect, our heritage. They need to be saved. If we want permanent happiness, peace and prosperity in the family, then respect the elders in the family.
Not everyone can sit covered in sadness all the time, it is human nature. Laughter is such a thing which lightens our mind. There is no need of any excuse to laugh. I laugh at those people who do nothing without any work. We deepen our relationship with others and then when the meaning is out, we forget everything. I laugh at those people who talk about being modern but act vulgar. I laugh at those people who call themselves modern. The rich say this, but when the time comes, they settle every penny with the poor. I laugh at those people who wear ridiculous make-up to make themselves look beautiful, and become laughing stock in every gathering. .I laugh at those people who wear anything in the name of fashion. I laugh at those people who wear clothes without ignoring their figure. And become the reason for everyone’s laughter.
What strategies do you use to cope with negative feelings?
Negative sentiment is a baseless concept. The root cause of this feeling is that person who sometimes fails and creates such feelings in his mind that he starts considering success as very far away. Sometimes such moments come in life that even without wanting, the person becomes When negative thoughts start coming in your mind, then it seems as if everything in life is covered with darkness, everything seems meaningless. Focusing on the good things even when you are feeling bad helps you in maintaining your emotional balance. Can help in changing from positive to positive. I am also not untouched by these things. Sometimes negativity comes to me too. Let’s see how I deal with it.
First of all, I share my feelings with my parents, another trusted adult or a friend. And I try to convince myself that I am just like everyone else. And people are also like me. We are negative when we think that every adverse outcome is someone else’s fault. When we accept that everything originates from within us and all good and bad results are born from our own actions, then a sense of responsibility will arise within us, which is a positive thought. We have to be grateful, learn to laugh at ourselves, without helping others it would be baseless to expect anything from them, we should make friends with positive thinking people. We should try to do socially useful work, this increases the feeling of karma within us. We should learn to take responsibility for both good and bad results. If we have done good, we should be proud of it, but if something wrong has happened, we should also take responsibility for it. Knowing about the life of a successful person is as important as staying in touch with family members. Don’t compete with your friends by considering them as ideals.
There are thousands of books that discuss the lives of successful people. I read these books.Emotionally intelligent people often practice mindfulness, which is the act of being present and fully engaged in the present moment. Mindfulness allows them to observe their thoughts and feelings without judgment, which can help them stay grounded when dealing with negativity. Through mindfulness, emotionally intelligent people can manage their negative emotions more effectively, allowing them to react to situations in a more calm and rational way. Emotionally intelligent people are able to ignore the negative aspects of a situation. Instead of focusing on the negative, let’s focus on the positive. They look for opportunities to learn and grow from their experiences, even when things don’t go according to plan. By focusing on the positive, emotionally intelligent people can improve their mindset and find new ways to face challenges. I turn to yoga to infuse myself with positive energy. Yoga improves concentration and mental Stability is even better. There are many such yogas, which throw out the negative thoughts from your mind, hence in today’s time the importance of yoga has increased even more. The days of our life are limited and the energy we spend for each hour of that day is also limited. We should not spend so much energy only on negative emotions but should use it with positive thinking. You will also remain healthy and others will also get energy from you, only then there will be positive energy in the world.
My parents have also instilled in me the habit of always looking towards people who are inferior to me in order to remain positive. In my childhood, when I did not get something, my mother always used to say that it is not necessary for everyone to have the same thing. Is it yours? Does your face resemble anyone? This lesson has been useful to me in my life till date. If we can explain something like this to our children, then perhaps their life will also not be dependent on small happiness.
Everyone definitely has some hobbies of their own. Some are fond of food and drinks and some are fond of other things. But I am fond of cooking. Since childhood, I was very fond of trying new recipes. Although I never made my hobby my career. But I like to make something new and serve it to everyone.
When I decide that I have to make something today, I keep making it. Then I don’t worry about my hunger or thirst. How many times does it happen that the thing I have made does not turn out to be good? But yes, I can understand how to make it next time. My relatives and friends all praise my food a lot. I don’t like to hear my praise but I feel good that I fed them something good.
What movies or TV series have you watched more than 5 times?
Mr bean is my favorite TV show. No matter how many times I watch it, I like it. Because there is only entertainment in this serial. Sometimes when I feel sad, I watch this serial and I forget my sorrow. This serial also teaches us that we should know how to be happy in life, no matter what the circumstances are.
I am not a staunch superstition but I definitely believe in God. If believing in God is superstition then I am a superstition. If any custom is followed without questioning the logic behind it, then it is called superstition. But all castes have their own customs and traditions which they follow, no matter how modern they consider themselves. Superstition is a belief which has no good reason. A small child starts following literally the traditions and beliefs that he has been seeing and hearing in his home, family and society since childhood. This superstition leaves such a deep impact on his mind that he is unable to come out of these superstitions throughout his life. Superstition is not only seen in the uneducated and low income group people, but it is also seen to more or less in the highly educated, learned, intellectual, high income group and people of developed countries. This is usually seen from generation to generation. Superstitions are of different types according to the society, country, region, caste and religion. Knowing the general attitudes and expectations of the worldly people, many people have created big shops of superstitions. The situation has become such that because of this superstition, we have strayed far away from the importance of worshiping God. No matter how modern we become, we will find countless people in the world who spread superstitions and believe in them. Those who believe that there is God in the entire creation are true believers, the rest are superstitious.
Which animal would you compare yourself to and why?
Man is the most intelligent creature in the world because his physical structure frees him from many bonds of nature and his brain has developed in the course of evolution. But intelligence is related to the brain only. I will compare myself to an ant. Because ants are considered very intelligent team players. Ants can prove to be much better as a person. They can cover long distances easily and do not forget their path at all. Ants are considered the most intelligent. Ant has the smallest brain but the greatest intelligence. Researchers believe that its planning and actions show how intelligent it is. It builds a city underground and then lives there happily throughout the rains. It can predict earthquakes and many other types of natural disasters in advance.
Like an ant, you too can do better than your capacity. This requires only effort and hard work. This will definitely give you success. Ants are mostly seen in groups. He is seen only in his family and clan. By coming together as a group, ants can easily lift the load of objects 10 times their size. Some people try to succeed by separating from their family or group. But the result is that they do not get success and they move away from society and family. We should learn from this quality of ants that there is strength in unity. By uniting together, even a mountain can be moved and even the biggest goals can be achieved.
The life of the ant inspires us to use our weaknesses to our advantage, and be happy even with minimal resources. Ants teach us to work together, it has been seen many times that when one ant is unable to lift something, other ants also come to help it and surround that object from all sides and drag it away. Ants teach us that we should preserve something for the future. Ants teach us the need to plan and look ahead. They store their food in seasons of abundance, so that they have enough in times of scarcity.
Happy 100th year of age. You are so lucky to have lived this long. You have seen many ups and downs in your life journey. Many springs have come and gone after making the garden of your mind green. Many autumns also came which left you desolate. But according to the laws of nature, flowers bloomed again in the garden of your mind. People took great advantage of the fragrance of those flowers. But as always, you kept showering your love to everyone with a big heart. You may not have collected much wealth in the vault of life, but you have collected a lot of praise through your good deeds. This capital of your lifetime is very valuable. Now no matter how many more years you live, there is no longing.
The thorns that were with you in the flower of your life have now become edgeless because now you have got used to tolerating their pricks also. Perhaps after all these years you have now understood that without them your life was also meaningless. Well, no life is short even without sorrow.
