How to Live a balanced Life

Until and unless we do not keep our life balanced we cannot live a happy life. Yesterday I met one of my office friend after a long time. I was talking with him and asked about what is going on in his life, in reply he said as usual nothing new.

He started telling me his entire story, how his focus was only to earn money and now he has sufficient money, but now he is looking for suitable partner and he is unable to find it. He was looking little worried and he asked me what to do now? I said look my friend, "Everything in life needs balanced, if you keep only focus on one side then definitely other side will be disturbed."
 But whatever happened just let it be, but from now onwards you can start from a new beginning. I told him,  now you have enough money and you can take off from work and go with your family somewhere, where you can be with them and they can also understand your needs and tell them everything this way there will be some solutions for it.

He agreed and accepted his mistakes what he did wrong by not paying attention to his all aspects of his life and now he is realizing, I am missing something in my life.

My dear friend's life gives you only once chance and there is no reverse button in it. In the modern age we are living our life like a rat race don't know where we all are going and what we want to achieve?

Either we are students, professionals or house wife if we want to balance our life we must focus attention in all parts of our life. Like a Car have four wheels, we have divided our life in four parts and if the car is not balanced, you can not enjoy your journey so lets see how can we live balanced life by following these wheels principles of Car:

1. Personal Life: This is your life, have you ever sat and ask yourself in your so much busy schedule, Do I give time for myself. You are the pillar of everything and if you can not take care of yourself, how can you care of others. Sometimes you need a pause in your life and sit alone and talk to yourself, keep your health in good condition then only you can serve others and make them happy. If you are in stress, anxiety then how can you make others happy and tension free?

2. Family Life: Family is your valuable asset and you are the whole and soul for them so ask yourself when did I spent good time with my family and children. How much time I give to my children and wife in my daily busy schedule. Family needs your attention and care and if you do it well they feel secure and happy.

3. Professional Life: Being a human being we have to earn money to survive in this world and for that we have to work, but some people are so much workaholic they even carry their work from office to home and make their home as an office. So remember one thins if you mix office at home and home in office your life will be miserable. Work sincerely do your duty properly and just leave everything in office don't carry it at home.

4. Social life: We humans are social beings and we need each others to have fun, sharing good moments etc. So we need to focus on our social life also and without social life we feel somewhere hollow.

But in all four we need sometimes more attention in one of it sometimes may be you need more attention to your family, sometimes you need more attention to your work, etc. It's not a hard and fast rule we have to give equal time to all in every circumstance.

But it's not so easy to follow these in our lives for this we need Stepney (spiritual life) in our Car. Because life is full of uncertainty and anything can happen at any moment, but if we are spiritually strong then we can balance our life very easily. And people who are spiritually strong they are living balanced life, although problems come into their lives too.

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

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.

A visit to GEV

Srila Prabhupada was very much concerned about modern life style and he always used to tell his disciples, only building temples are not enough to live a pure Krishna Conscious way of life along with it we must follow our Vedic Culture and in our Vedic Culture we were fully dependent on Cows and Lands but in modern age we have rejected both and result we are not getting healthy foods and milk products. So we have to build Farm Communities where we can live a healthy life and in minimum amount of time we can produce grains, vegetables, fruits and milk products etc. and rest of the time they can do their devotional service. Milk and Grains can not be produced in factories and for this we require Cows and Lands. Govardhan Ecovillage is a project of International Society for Krishna Consciousness. The project is owned and managed by ISKCON Wada, Maharashtra. It is the result of an ardent desire of H.H.Radhanath Swami Maharaj to fulfill the dream of his beloved guru, His Divine
