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.

      Yes. People are living in imaginary world instead of real world.

Nectar in the beginning but Poison in end

He was young and belonging from rich family, he entered into the compartment and seated next to me.  Long and stylist hair, branded watch on wrist, iPhone in hand but he was loosing his control. Started abusing someone on phone and shouting out very louder, people was looking at him.  He was fully drunken and started vomiting, people thrown out him out of train and he slayed down at platform. Story is not over yet, I was thinking is this our modern education we are providing to our children and in the name of facilities we are giving them huge money, branded gadgets, but being an guarding do we ever try to esquire what they do and, which type of association they keep?  Once these things comes in their hands they start thinking, no one is greater than me and due to false ego they disrespect elder people.  But one thing they forget, disrespecting elder people only harmful to them because elderly people only teach them morality and good lesson. And being an elder person...

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...
