Selfie made us Selfish


Today selfie become more popular and everyone busy into it. I was thinking this selfie is making people more selfish because previously people used to ask someone to take photographs and now, they take it from their own. So, more we become independent more we will be selfish. And this way we all time start thinking about I, Me and Mine but if we see our scriptures it is full of selflessness attitude and it makes us happier than being selfish.

More we become selfish more we will be miserable. In modern age our teachings are purely based on being selfish attitude and that's why neither we are happy nor we make others happy. Actually, all the time if we think about ourselves, we become fearful and feel lonely in this world and if we live selfless attitude life, we make ourselves happy as well as other too.

I am going to share story about a great Sage Maharshi Dadhichi from their life we can see how He served selflessly to the world and taught us to be selfless and happy.

While there was war going on between Demons and Demigods. Demons became more powerful and defeated Demigods and this way King Indra went to Lord Shiva and asked for help. Lord Shiva told to Indra, "My dear Indra, this demon Vritrasura has become stronger than stone and none of your weapons will work against him and if you want to kill him then you have to go to Maharshi Dadhichi because He has made his bones much stronger than stones by his penance and austerity."

King Indra went to Maharshi Dadhichi with all other Demigods and asked for help. After listening Maharshi Dadhichi laughed on Indra and told, "So, you need my bones to kill Vritrasura but what about my life?" Indra was speechless and thought he will not get any help from Maharshi Dadhichi.

But Maharshi Dadhichi replied to Indra, "My dear Indra anyhow one day this body is going to be waste but if you can take advantage of it and if it is in welfare of society then I will be grateful for it, please take it."

After getting bones of Maharshi Dadhichi Indra made "Vajra" and attacked on Demons and killed.

This great sacrifice of Maharshi Dadhichi made his name flash in golden words whenever examples are given of sacrifice and selfless attitude.

So, by this story we can learn, we cannot be happy by being selfish but selfless. By caring and listening to others we can be change our attitude from selfish to selfless.
