Learning Lessons from Tree

While Krishna were playing with His cowherd boys enjoying their childhood pastimes they reached under one tree. Krishna immediately told to one of His friends, "Do you know these trees are very great and they only give to us never expect anything from us." Krishna further explains about the many qualities of the trees and how a human being can also learn and live happy life.

Here few things we can learn from the tree and make our life happy and peaceful.

Grow with deep Root: We see, the tree never changes its root, but it changes its leaves. Its root goes deeper into deeper so it can be more strong. Changing the leaves can not harm to the tree, but changing the root can make the tree dead. The same way our Scriptures, Traditions, Love and Faith are our roots if we try to change it then we will be dead.

Be Internally Connected: Each tree are internally connected with each others one root goes inside the earth and bind other roots of the tree tightly so they can prevent themselves from earthquakes and other disasters. Same way if we are internally connected with each others no other problems can shake us, but if kept our-self lonely then definitely a slow wind can harm us.
Srila Prabhupada used to tell, "United we stand, divided we fall." When we internally connect with each others our problems look very small and we can easily handle it.

Accept the changes: Tree goes through many changes in its life i.e. Spring, Summer, Winter and autumn but it accepts and move on. They knew it very well this time will pass soon. In our life too we goes through many changes, but we immediately react why its happening to me instead of accepting it. Changes are going to come in our life and if we will not accept it we can only blame others and cry but instead if we face the changes then surely we shine.

Support each Other: We see creepers needs support to grow so they take help of the tree, so it's responsibility of a tree to support creepers to grow under its protection. We also can learn the supportive nature by tree, if we support others, others will support us.

Have Patience: Tree has more patience, they bear sun's heat, heavy rains, cyclone, but they still they calm down. We should learn we must be patient in all the situation if we tolerate the situation, then the definitely mercy of God will shower on us.

Be Flexible: Tree makes them flexible when winds come towards them and after they come to their original state. The same way our behavior should be there while dealing with others, we must be flexible, it's not that all the time situation will be under your favor.

Be Humble: The weights of the fruits cause the tree to bow down to everyone. A person who has character, morality, spirituality offer respect to the divinity, the spiritual essence within everyone, everywhere. And a person who doesn’t have that character very egoistically thinks I am higher, greater than others. So we must learn humbly humbleness from the tree.

Forgive Others: Either you beat, you keep throwing dirt, you shout you will not get any response from the tree. That nature is called forgiveness, we must learn it to forgive others.

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 lac...

Real meaning of Success

In today's world everyone is looking for success and for that by hook or by crook they want to achieve it. After getting that achievement they need more and more and if they do not get they become frustrated. And we see more of the so called successful people at some level they are not able to tolerate the failure and end up their life. So, here we are going to discuss, what is the real meaning of success? First of all we must understand, Success is not a destination but a journey. In our life we may consider anything of success, but it means opportunity to implore our self more. Definition of success changed as per our situation and time as a child, think I will be successful if I get good marks in my exam and the same child after getting good marks started thinking I will be successful if I get a good job. So we can see it is not fixed at some point we think if we get that thing I may be successful but after getting it into our definition of success got changed. Success is...
