How to accept Tough Situations in Life

Sometimes by the false ego we do forget our real value and puffed up by the wealth, power and beauty. But one thing we do not know when the time goes against us then nothing is going to help even our money, strength and beauty. So, how to deal with that situation if there is tough time comes in our life, some people never accept the reality and move on and finally they lose everything but the person who change himself as per the situation can back to his life once again.

So, there is a nice story on this I am going to share with you. Once King Indra puffed up with his fame, wealth and strength and disrespect to Durvasha Muni. Durvasha Muni is known for His anger and He immediately cursed Indra to lose his power and fame. Once Demons got to know this they attacked on Indra and Indra escape himself from war and hide himself.

When Indra along with the Demigods went to Lord Vishnu for help, Lord Vishnu said to Indra, "My dear Indra, you demigods have lost your strength by the curse of Durvasha Muni, if you want it back then you have to churn the ocean to get the nectar and you demigods will be immortal. And you cannot do this job alone, you have to take the help of Demons also."

Indra was already in fear and after hearing this from Lord Vishnu, he said, "My dear Lord, they became very powerful now and if we go in front of them, they will kill us."

Lord Vishnu Replied, "Dear Indra, you go with the proposal without ego and ask them if we both will churn this ocean, we will get nectar and this way we will be immortal. If they say anything against you have to tolerate as you know the situation is against you."

Indra agreed and went to demons, and ask for help and they became agree, but they were demanding whatever they wanted, but Indra was tolerating all these because Lord Vishnu has told not to do anything against them.

And finally, nectar came out and everyone knows the story about it, how Lord Vishnu came in the form of Mohini and helped demigods to get nectar.

But what we can learn from this story? If the situation is against you then you need to compromise and tolerate, and the time change and change everything in your favor. But if we don't tolerate and go against the situation, then our life will be more miserable.

Life is a preparation, death is an examination

We participate in so many exams in our life, and get the results as per our preparation for that exams. But most of the exams we have option, whether to attempt it or not? But there is one exam in our life which we may ignore saying we will see when it would come in our life, but we all have to attempt we don't have any choice, whether we are poor, rich, educated or illiterate. Srila Prabhupada used to say, this life is our preparation how we are preparing our-self for coming exam. Because that exam has no prior time table, no time period, no grace marks, and no cheat sheet allowed. And you may be surprise to know, all our activities are recorded by Yamduta for our each and every moments with evidence. Yes, Yamduta will show your answer sheet and you can review it, whether he has marked you in correct way or not? You are successful, if you are passed your exams but if you are failed then you don't know when you will have to reattempt that exam (it could be after 84 laces bir

Depression vs Satisfaction

There are two types of people live in this world, one who live a satisfied life and one who goes into depression when something goes wrong in their life. A satisfied person can stay happy all the time in any circumstances but a person who looks for sense pleasure and thinks sense objects is going to give happiness to me always goes into depression, if he does not get pleasure from an objects or person. And the secret of satisfactions is to see opportunity in every aspects whether it is success or failure. Many of us become happy when we get success but become sad when failure comes in our life. We must remember one thing, in our life success and failure is not going to stay forever with anyone. A very successful person has to face even failure sometimes in his life. A satisfied person knows it very well, that is why he does not goes in to depression for his failure but he learn from it and move on. A very beautiful quotes by Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, "Don't read success stories, yo

Be Humble - Time can change everything

When we get name, fame and power we puffed by the false ego and become arrogant to the people and think no one is greater than me. But our history says, who were arrogant, time has collapsed all of them. None of us can say, I can beat the time and can go against it. We all are under control of Time as Lord Krishna has already stated in the Bhagwad Gita (I am the time and eveything is under my control). But due to our false ego we do not accept this fact become arrogant with other people instead of becoming humble with them. Who was "King of Good times" now became "King of bad times", so easily we can understand time make us King or Beggar. So we should be always being humble with the people in our Good times and take blessings from them for our bad times, but we do exactly opposite of it, we become arrogant in Good times and seek for blessings in our bad times. But what is the use of it, when you hurt someone, you lose sympathy from that person's heart.
