In a true marriage, man and women think more
of the Partnership than they do of themselves. It is an interweaving of
interests and a facing of sacrifice together for the sake of both. A feeling of
security and contentment comes from mutual efforts.
Most of the trouble and worries occurring
amongst husband and wife, parents and children, their relatives and friends are
due to misunderstanding and impatience. The husband should not treat
the wife as a servant. Although he is the
bread-winner of the family, it is his duty whenever he is free to help his wife
in the household. On the other hand the wife should not always nag or grumble
at her husband whenever there is any shortage at home. She should not also be
suspicious of her husband. If he really has some weakness she could correct him
by talking it over with him kindly. A wife has to tolerate a lot of things
without bothering her husband. A husband also has to act wisely.
Marriage is a blessing but many people turn
their married life into a curse due to lack of understanding, tolerance and
patience. Poverty is not the main cause of an unhappy married life. Husband and
wife must learn to share the pleasure and pain of everything in their daily
life. Mutual understanding is the secret of a happy family life.
Don’t
Worry
The secret of happy, successful living lies
in doing what needs to be done now, and not worrying about the past and the
future. We cannot go back into the past and reshape it nor can we anticipate everything
that may happen in the future. There is but one moment of time over which we
have some conscious control and that is the present.
Many people just worry by thinking about
their future. If they have learned to adjust themselves according to the
circumstances of their daily life there is no reason for them to be worried. Whatever
castles they may build in the air, whatever dreams they may have in their mind,
they must always remember that they are living in this world of constant
changes.
Be Good
“There is no stars which we could trust,
And we know that we must,
There is no guiding light,
BE GOOD, BE JUST, BE RIGHT.”
Pillars
of Success
Failures are but the pillars of success. To
learn by our failures is to achieve success. To never have failed is never have
won. Unless we experience failure and its attendant forces, we shall not be
able to appreciate to the full a victory. It becomes merely a turn in events
that is of little or no interest to us. Failures not only help us to success,
but to make us kind, sympathetic, understanding and rich in experience
Real Beauty
If one is born ugly, no matter how ugly his
face may be, if he cultivates love, that love will give him an inward eternal
charm which emanate outwardly and parade his whole being with that supernatural
charm which will make him attractive because charm is the real beauty and not
the shape or colour of the face.
Even if we take the most handsome looking
person. Sometimes people may not be attracted towards him or her because his or
her beauty may be disfigured by the conceit or pride in his or her own beauty.
Take the person who is ugly but is over flowing with boundless loving-kindness
and speaks gently and politely, treats others kindly and you will see how
attractive that person will be to everybody.
Peaceful End
Men are disturbed not by things, but by the
notions they form concerning things. Death for example, is not in itself,
terrible; the terror resides only in our mind. Insistence upon the truth of suffering
may seem morbid to the mind unable to face facts, but it serves to prick the
balloon of happiness.”
Love of life on earth stimulates the
unnatural morbid fear of death. It creates the hypochondriac, the man who will
never take risks even for the right. He lives in terror that some illness or
accident will snuff out his insignificant little life here. Realisation that death
is inevitable; an irrational terror of the inevitable will shock the earth
lover into a passionate hope for the survival of his soul in a heaven. No man
can be happy in such a tempest of fear and hope. It is hard to despise and
ignore these manifestations of the instinct for self-preservation. There is,
however, a sure method of overcoming it. This is to forget the self in service
for other people; it is to turn one’s love from inwards to outwards. Become engrossed
in helping others and you will forget you own morbid, selfish attachments and
hopes, pride and self-righteousness.
Everybody likes to have a peaceful death
after fulfilling his lifetime of duties and obligations. But how many people
have prepared the round for such an event? How many people take the trouble to
fulfill their duties towards their family, relatives, friends, country,
Religion and nation? If a man dies without fulfilling any of these duties
surely it is very difficult ultimately for such a person to have a peaceful
death. Many people are afraid of dead bodies. But living bodies are more dangerous
than dead bodies. More people were defeated and frightened by living bodies
than lifeless dead bodies.
If we depart from this world without
fulfilling your duties, your birth in this world would have beneficial neither
to yourself nor to the world. Therefore, perform your duties and face death
bravely and peacefully. And one day you will be able to attain the deathless
condition where you can have eternal happiness.
