Silence and patience...

These two qualities can take us to greater heights of life's happiness and peace. I am constantly striving for improving myself through silence. Personal Quality is not an accident,it is the result of our constant endeavors to improve ourselves by eliminating our bad habits and by gaining authentic knowledge and information. I am trying to remain silent as much as possible. I am speaking at various intervals for the following reasons:
1.teaching through interaction
2.managerial assignments in profession
3.speaking for money or peace in totality
4.for taking inputs from others as needed from time to time
5.self-talking and talking with God

Remain cheerful all the time...

There will be problems,trials and tribulations in life. We are supposed to face them with courage and determination. But everything we do, we should do it with a pleasant mood and cheerfulness. When life becomes painful,we should pray to God for helping us. We should seek good friends in life so that they can relieve some portion of our mental sufferings.

Failure is never final...

We may fail many times in our endeavors,but instead of getting frustrated we should learn from our mistakes and continue to exert ourselves with renewed enthusiasm for future successes. We should not stop till the goal is reached. Lessons from the real life is sometimes more important than those from the books. I have rectified my lifestyle for a more disciplined living and I have interacted and guided many young minds in overcoming depression through MIND CONTROL.We can reduce our mental tension by imposing on ourselves SELF-CONTROL AND MIND CONTROL. We should plan our each days and act accordingly leaving everything else to God. Remain cool and calm all the time,even in extreme mental and physical hard work. Just slow down your life. Be slow.Be silent when talking does not help. Silence is the best answer to many problems of life. We should remember that time cures everything. Be slow ,but steady in all matters of life.Apply creativity and innovation and remain happy all the time. Life is once. Hence take minimum of tension by reducing your demands and desires of life.

Failure is never final...

Yogic life

Even in household life, we can adopt a yogic living. We should spend one hour's time in yoga exercises including breathing exercise for 15 minutes. We can remain fit and stay young for the whole life. For fitness, we should drink 4-6 litres of water per day. For common and chronic ailments, we can take Homoeopathic/Biochemic medicines under the advice of an expert. Alongwith all these we should lead a life full of Applications of Intelligence, Creativity and Innovation(AICI) and Constant Remembrance of God (CRG) to stay young and healthy. AICI and CRG together can make us live a happy and satisfied life.

Creativity and Innovation

Life becomes full of pleasure,happiness and success, if we are governed by the principles of creativity and innovation. In everything we do there should be a touch of creativity and innovation. The best way to do that is to practice self-talk on any topic and take a bold, and innovative decision about doing a thing in a better, cost-effective and new way. We can get the pleasure of 'inventing', when we turn everything into a series of creative actions. We should always try to live in the present and do known things in a newer and different ways. In every old thing, we can find something new,if we can give careful thoughts to the subject. Creativity and innovation when applied to all kind of activities, become the storehouse of pleasure of living. If we are pleased about our work, we remain healthy and health is the greatest wealth of life. A creative and innovative person will enjoy pleasure,happiness and peace which is everlasting. Financial success of a person is not the only criterion of living life. With best,creative and innovative planning, we can lead a happier life which is governed by the principles of self-control,self-discipline and honesty. A slow but steady lifestyle is always better. In this we get sufficient time for the Applications of Intelligence,Creativity and Innovation(AICI). AICI should be the most powerful mantra in our personal lives.

In my life, I try to apply AICI mantra on a daily basis and I have found great results in terms of pleasure,recognition,happiness and peace.
We can stay healthy and young by adopting AICI mantra.

Answer to chaos in life

The best answer is to maintain silence.
Silence solves many problems of life.
We must practice silence as much as possible.

Success is not everything

Success in terms of money and wealth is not everything in life. There are many things in life in which we may devote time and work. For same or similar efforts,we may not earn same amount of money. Earning of money depends on variety of uncontrollable factors. Hence we should never be frustrated about earning lesser amount of money, as we can lead a balanced,measured and controlled life by managing family and personal factors. 'Self-control' is the biggest factor which makes us live a more happy and peaceful life. The factors like love,affection,mutual respect,selfless service to others can make us live with happiness and peace.

Success-formula for ever

We need
1.knowledge and effective work towards a goal
2.information
3.communication skills
4.determination
5.humanity
6.attitude of helping others
7.ability of organizing things
8.sense of punctuality
9.a sense of professionalism
to be successful

Success needs special attitudes

The following are the ingredients of success:
1. we should remember that success is a never-ending process
2.success is like a chain-reaction
3.to be successful, we should have a defined purpose and the will-power
4.one must have the tenacity to withstand hard times, as hard times come to our lives almost periodically
5.we must consider human and humanistic factors in all our professional as well as personal endeavors
6.remember: knowledge is the greatest power in life, we must pursue knowledge-building throughout our lives
7.we should maintain ourselves fit and stout to sustain the process of success
8.we must hold on to basic human values and ethics to derive inner peace
9.we must go on sharpening our communication/soft skills to be able to influence higher number of people in the professional field
10.to get noticed we must excel in our specialised field
11.we should master the art of building interpersonal relationships
12.we must recognise talents and should know the art of motivating them

Integral Living Philosophy

To live a holistic life, we must include all positive elements in our daily life. I suggest the following points to ponder over and then to accept as part of the daily life, if possible:
1. morning walk
2.other physical/yogic exercise
3.devoted and good quality professional work for 5-8 hours
4.extra work for extra money by using special knowledge and skills
5.to communicate with the known best brains for updating knowledge base etc.
6.physical and mental relaxation(sleeping) for 6-7 hours
7.Prayers and meditation for one hour
8.creative thinking and activity for at least 1 hour(separately)
9.effective speaking for profession,money and peace only
10.to maintain silence for a few hours of the day and feel the Omnipresence of God
11.to live in the present and to maintain a social balance in personal life
12.to learn from the past
13.to pursue education,research and development in any field and to try to learn about and use the latest technologies etc.; to stay young,and healthy at heart;to enjoy things of beauty;to enjoy sense of humor etc. for a pleasurable living

Spirit of honest way of living

We must salute a honest person in all possible ways, as honesty is the toughest quality to be achieved. If a person is honest, he may have to struggle for his living. But behind such a fighting spirit lies a serene mind and a large heart.A few words of encouragement from a honest person can change our thinking and hence can hence the course of our lives. I believe that the whole world can change for the better by the works of a few honest persons. I have learnt to be honest after passing through tough times in life. During tough times, many people tend to adopt dishonesty and as a consequence they are bound to invite more sufferings in their lives. The attitude of earning money in the quickest possible way is the greatest vice in human life. One can buy wealth and luxurious items to be happy. But the real happiness lies somewhere else. Happiness lies in our heart.Happiness and flows from the will of God only. Once we are faithful to our inner conscience while doing work, we hardly can be dishonest. All-round honesty is expected from a person who never betrays his conscience, as 'good and bad' and their discrimination is strongly embedded in our conscience from our birth. It is still better to live a spiritual life. God-believers live under the Grace of God and offers prayers to God for better life. I believe that prayers work.

Meditational Approach to Living

If we try correctly we can be in meditation all the time. Meditation while doing work is the easiest method. Highest level of concentration in work results into active meditation and we can realize the fact that world is truly an illusion. You can also feel the Omnipresence of God in living creatures around you. This special feeling combined with work will lead to a meditative state which will bring peace even to an active mind.

Greed is the worst thing of life

Greed is one of the greatest vices of life. A greedy person always does harm to others in the process of satisfying his or her greed. In the pusuit of satisfying endless greed, the personal life of the greedy gets entangled in sorrows,pain,unhappiness and many other mental and physical sufferings. Life becomes a living hell for such a person. He or she brings enormous troubles to the life of many others including the concerned family members. Hence we should promise to ourselves that we shall never to greedy for anything. By mental training and true education, we shall have control over our minds, as greed is to seen as one of the worst vices of the living creatures.Slowly but steadily we should reduce our materialistic desires and live a healthy life with minimum amount of money that we are earning through honest means.

Motivational psychology and a meaningful life

To motivate oneself, there are many approaches. Self-motivation or self-driven attitude is the best option. One should analyse various options for which one should devote time and work. We should be allot 8-10 hours a day for professional work which will bring some good amount of money for sustaining the family life. Some additional 3-4 hours can be devoted to professional work involving some strong skills so that some money could be saved for the hard times of life. Hence, out of 24 hours we should be able to devote about 14 hours of time which can earn some good amount of money part of which should be used in helping others in need. A completely self-centered life is the life of an animal only. All these activities should go on so as to live a balanced and peaceful life. Motivation should come from within ourselves. In certain cases we can take help from our fellow beings who can find a solution to our level of motivation for work. To sustain the works we do, we should try to network with right kind of people who are also professionally engaged in some honest venture. We must remind ourselves everymorning that LIFE IS WORK. We should not stop working and we should lead a time-conscious life. Personally I have understood the value of time in later life. The waste of time,energy,money and some blunders in professional service including decision-making landed me in great troubles and sufferings in this part of my life. Now I try to work as consistently as possible. Even in our profession we should try to go on building our skills so that some alternative options are available for us. Knowledge, technical skills and communication skills are never-ending processes. Hence with sufficient self-confidence, one must continue to improve on a daily basis. Everyday, we should improve upon our past states in these fields which would reflect our preparedness for facing professional challenges. Therefore we must build up Knowledge,Technical & Communication Skills(KTCS) on a daily basis. Majority of the inputs for such skill-building will come free from our surroundings and people directly and only occasionally we should consult literature on the subject so that we adopt in our lives , the Philosophy of Continual Learning(PCL). PCL will lead us to success,prosperity,happiness and peace.

Inspired Living

We should always try to live for some ideals and values. I am trying to draw inspirations from the lives of great men. I have come to learn that LIFE IS WORK. We should try to remain involved in fruitful activities. Our minds then remain engaged in some kind of creative activities and hence we shall be free of the negative and depressive thoughts. The ultimate inspiration of living is to work towards doing good to self and others. But doing good to the self should be given least preference, as it does not involve any kind of inner satisfaction. If we work towards the benefits and good of others, we shall be free of any kind of negative thinking and resultant mental tension. If we play the game of 'give and take',we are bound to suffer from various types agony and pain.

Health & fitness

I am a big sufferer of physical ailments. Through suffering,I have come to learn that smoking is the worst addiction in my life and most of my failures were due to multiple disorders arising out of smoking. Smoking has caused severe harm to both physically and mentally. I tried many times to leave the habit. I failed. This habit destroys normal functioning of all vital organs of the body. I have now reduced smoking by 90%. But the suffering still goes on. Doctors say I can regain my earlier healthy in about 5 years,even if I stop smoking completely. I am now trying to exert mind-control technique in quitting such a worst addiction. I need to keep fit through physical exercise.But to quit smoking is the greatest challenge in my life. I am trying to take lessons from my worst physical suffering.

Balanced & Peaceful Living Philosophy

To derive complete mental peace in life, one must maintain the principle'honesty is the best policy'. To achieve in the style of living, we must try to have a positive attitude towards learning. Life is learning,we know. We should try to learn as much as possible from various sources of real life and apply those lessons in our practical life.In practical life, we must accept the rule that variety is the spice of life. From the wide range of variety of tastes of life, spiritual living is the best, as spiritual living means living under the Grace of God with complete surrendering to Him. We should choose such a disciplined pattern of life that will never be reckless and turbulent. Life should be full of peace of mind. The state of the mind is dependent on our present and past actions. Thereby we should do such things which will have peaceful consequences and also will benefit others directly or indirectly. The ultimate priciple is to lead a life which is governed by our conscience and humanistic thinking. In everyday life, we should set examples of working for the good of others as well as of our family members. We should create examples to ourselves , of being honest,upright and human in real sense. We also must search for the ultimate Reality of life i.e.God through meditation and other means so that we do not drained off by running after materialistic pleasures and happiness.
Let us all live a God-dependent life in which we all are in a meditative and peaceful state which never ends. That will be a state of perpetual happiness. Let all our actions be governed by an ideal state of living. Let us live for an ideal. Let us live an inspired life under the Blessings of God.
May God bless us all.

Life is work with a sense of detachment

Work with a sense of detachment means working for work's sake while we are least concerned with enjoyment of the fruits of our works. We should work for fulfilling our duties for others while enjoying minimum benefits for ourselves. This sense of sacrifice,love and affection for others will make ourselves detached from mental tension and will help us live a more peaceful life. Enjoyments based on Ego,Sex,Power and Money have little meaning for a person who sacrifices himself or herself for God. Living for God, living under His blessings, enchanting His Holy Names,remembering God in both pleasure and pain, thinking and doing good of others are those mental states which transform our material lives into spiritual lives. Hence we should try to think beyond the boundary of material possessions and pleasures and devote ourselves to the service of God.It is impossible to know God completely, but through long striving we can feel Him in our existence. Feeling God is full of uncontaminated pleasure and we should all try to be in that state as long as possible in our lifetime.

To work for pleasure

If we do some work, we should take interest in it. Once we take interest in all kinds of our activities, our minds will be full of pleasure. This philosophy should be applied in all spheres of life, to remain healthy and fit. Whatever we do should have the impression of our special interest in things we were involved with. We should try to remain happy and cheerful by taking special interest in all small and big work we do.

Life of student

Student-life should be spent in knowledge-building exercises and also in learning social,political and economic cultures of the society. They should be educated and trained such that they form the habits of giving service to others.They should inculcate progressive thinking and should main basic honesty and integrity.

Tough times never last for courageous people

Tough times never last for those who are brave and courageous. How to live life more courageously ? Building up knowledge is the basic condition for living a healthy life. But having knowledge may not help us all the time. We must gather sufficient experience about the functioning of real life and its tumultous situations. Bad experience of real life is the real teacher, when the bookish knowledge fails. For remaining evergreeen and colorful all the time, we must go on gaining both knowledge and experience in various fields and apply the same in practice while taking vital decisions. We must learn from our worst experiences and physical and mental sufferings of the past. The final say about courageous living is that we should work so as to produce outputs which are beneficial to others. Once we do good to others, we start receiving kind blessings of God. We also realise that we are actually serving livings God. To realize this fact, we must have a special attitude. This attitude-building takes a long time and may also take a lifetime. For a courageous living, we must be able to take right decisions at the right time. We should rather be good self-managers.

Peaceful Living for students-1

I have taught hundreds/thousands of students for last 14 years and I have observed that student-psychology is a complicated subject on which a teacher should have mastery. The major drawbacks/shortcomings/defects of majority of the students are:
1.they are not focussed on what they should
2.they lack in mental concentration
3.they suffer from identity crisis
4.they are frustrated about their future prospects
5.they are mostly inclined towards materialistic possessions and enjoyments
6.they do not much inclination towards things which will not satisfy their self-interests
7.they are naturally overconfident about anything, as they do not have sufficient knowledge about the concerned subject
8.they do not have much common sense about social aspect of life
9.they are mostly believers of 'give and take'

Remedy for all these problems lies in mentoring the students towards the right path. Mentoring by an experienced teacher is hlepful in getting the students out of the shell of illusion. The students should be convinced that they make the best of their time in every sphere of activity like studies,playing games,participating in various kinds of creative and extra-curricular activities so keep the mind evergreeen and active for fruitful endeavors. They should be trained to give service to others, as giving service really benefits us in getting tremendous satisfaction and peace. Only professional hard work will not help them in deriving true happiness. A self-controlled and self-disciplined life with a sense of sacrifice for others is essential for achieving a life of happiness and peace.

Peaceful Living-8

In modern context, to have peaceful living we need to obey the following rules:
1. to remain fit physically and mentally by eating as less as possible and doing yogic/physical exercise
2. to avoid all types negative people with tact and diplomacy
3. to understand the nothingness of materialistic pleasures and enjoyment
4. to learn to give instead of taking
5. to save some money for hard times
6. to meditate upon God and His creations
7. to think creatively and innovatively for solving problems
8. to maintain personal honesty and integrity all the time
9. to work with dedication for deriving personal satisfaction

Peaceful Living-7

If we can accept that LIFE IS SACRIFICE FOR OTHERS, many of our problems will be over. Our attitude in this reapect will vary widely from person to person.And it is quite difficult to change our existing attitudes. I find that most ordinary people never think so much about 'sacrifice' and most of their thinking revolves round self-interest and self-enjoyment. More intelligent people think differently and they have broader view of life. For them compassion,kindness,cooperation and selfless service to others have special meaning and significance. Hence they act and react in a special manner when the need arises for extending helping hand to others selflesslessly.

Peaceful Living-6

If we accept the principle that LIFE IS WORK,many of our problems will be solved.

Peaceful Living-5

I have no right to instruct others and I am writing about the way I have been instructed by life to live in a more peaceful manner. The greatest difficulty I faced was about 'self-discipline' and 'self-control'. The story of my life revolves rounds these two words. My struggle for last five years to remain self-controlled failed a number of times, but I continued to gain control of myself and I have been successful to a great extent. I now focus myself on past lessons and newer innovations regarding my philosophical thoughts. My past life is a series of mistakes and my present life is an innovatively peaceful living under the Grace of God. I feel as if I can not live without the remembrace of God and His mercy on me and existence. I have rectified my mistakes and felt that God is infinitely merciful regarding my existence. All these miracles happened only from the unconditional blessings of my spiritual masters, Late Sri Ramakrishna Brajabashi of Sri Vrindaban Dham and Thakur Sri Anukul Chandraji. I am now leading my life through my devoted prayers to God. I feel I am a lion,while I am deeply engaged in prayers. I feel I am a fighter. Without the compassion and unconditional blessings of the Supreme Lord, I am nothing, I am nothing. I wish to live like a lion. And my wish will be fulfilled only if I can arouse in myself true devotion towards the Lotus Feet of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Krishna. My only religion is Hinduism/any other religion based Humanity.

Peacful Living-4

Physical suffering in my life originated from my wrong actions only. I have suffered a lot from my wrongdoings and have tried to learn lessons as much as possible. All types of suffering resulted from lack of self-control an self-discipline. I now understand that a reckless life is the life of a street dog only. A reckless life terminates into multiple disorders-both physical and mental. And a diseased life is so painful that I have to suffer alone shedding tears and crying for the help of God. God only can give me the strength of self-control and self-discipline which only can regain my faith if self. A suffering body is basically a suffering immortal soul. To worship the soul; and the Supreme Soul, we need to cleanse our body from diseases and most of the diseases develop from our wrong actions and unhealthy way of living. Physical sufferings make us deviate from the worship of the Almighty and a life without worship of the Absolute Truth is a meaningless life. Personally, I suffered and I suffer because of my past actions,decisions and wrongdoings. Then I started transforming myself and decided firmly to stay away from all my previous sins. I prayed to God to give me the strength to eliminate the root causes of my sufferings and I received the courage and strength from my inner mind and I could understand that the root causes of sufferings could be destroyed with a few hours,if I wish to live like a lion,and not like a street dog. The choice should be loud and clear. I said to myself : I am a fighter, I am a fighter, and lastly I must remain a true fighter. I will live the life of a lion, a lion and a lion only. A lion definitely has peaceful living.
