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-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.

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.
