The Power Within

“It is better to die than dishonor” – Bhagwat Geeta (2:34) Suicide is considered a sin. In Christianity, a different graveyard is allotted for those who die by suicide. No funeral rites are performed for them. According to Sec. 309 of IPC 1860, committing suicide is a criminal offense. When a person is caught in an attempt of committing suicide, instead of showing sympathy, that person may be sent to the imprisonment for one year. Why it is so ..? The most of the IPCs (Indian Penal Code) of our constitution were made in England in 1860 when India was under British rule. The British follows Christianity and the Christianity is the religion of commandments. In this way, in this religion, suicide became a sin, and in law, a crime. But in the Hindu tradition – voluntarily, giving up mortal body is seen differently. In the Mahabharata, old parents of the Kaurava and old mother of Pandava went to the forest.  They engulfed by a forest fire. They did not ...

Mangesh woke-up in the morning and got ready for the office, before leaving for the office, he stood before a mirror and gave a pep-up talk…”I am a diamond…” and happily reached to the office. One of his sub-ordinates met him and said.. “Sir, you are a platinum…”. He mumbled,” I was just thinking of myself a diamond… I am more precious than that … I am a platinum…”. With this attitude he started his work. After some time, his boss called him, and said, “ you know, … you are a copper…”. He got confused whether he was a diamond, a platinum or a copper. With this confusion, he reached his home. His wife understood that something has happened with him. In front of your wife, neither you can express your happiness nor sadness. In both the cases, you have to give the explanation which is more perilous than expressing your emotions. His wife asked the reason for his upset. He explained what had happened.  She shown the sympathy and said, “ how can your boss call you a copper, this is ...

Many things and many thoughts we carry in our life, which has no meaning at all.  The happiness and joy comes in our life by knowing the meaning, purpose of everything what we carry in our life. We carry extra weight on our body, no meaning, this extra burden gives the suffering to our body. We carry extra and unnecessary thoughts, these  unnecessary thoughts are a burden on our mind and the burden on our mind make us mentally weak, the way extra burden on our body makes us weak and unproductive.

There were five fishermen in a village, and there was a single pond in their village where they used to go for fishing. After few years of fishing, fishes started reducing, demand started increasing. When the resources are less and demands are more, the competition takes place. People start competing with one-another. The same thing happened to them. They started competing one-another to catch more and more fishes and get more profits. The hatred, jealousy, despises and comparison took place, the meaning of life was lost. Competition, defeating others, thinking about others had become their life. In competition, people forget themselves, they always things about their opponents, which make the people go away from the self. The fishermen were always busy in making strategy against others. They were wasting their energy and time thinking for other`s defeat. They thought, there is no other way out to survive rather than competing with others. When you entangle in these kind of tho...

There is no reason for anyone to live one`s life with stress, worry, tension and anxiety. All things what has happened in your life, what is happening in your life and what will happen in your life, are driven by Karma. Everyone is responsible for one`s Karma. If something happens to you which you had never expected, you become depressed, and you lose all the interest in your life. You forget that whatever is taking place in your life right now is the only one aspect of your life, it is not your entire life, if you do not understand it, then it will destroy your entire life. Better to ignore this aspect and move on. Stress, tension, worry or any kind of negativity what we can think of are all illusions, are the sign of our ignorance. We do not know the reality why it is happening in our life and what indication, we are getting from the situation. All the situation and circumstances give us some indication to know our life better. And the person who understands it and catch it...
