Out of Sight Out of Mind

Everyone in this material world looking for his sense gratification and today's culture is purely based on lust to attract the people to fulfill their sex desires. But one thing we must understand this lust is the door of Hell and the person who are engaged to fulfill his sense desires never be happy and always be unsatisfied and unsatisfied person can not live a peaceful life.

But this can be controlled by if we keep our self away from type of people who are involved into it, glamours, media, pornography, mix cultures etc. Because it is function of our mind until and unless it will not hear, see something about sense objects till the time it will be silent and won't disturb us. So better keep our self away from these things as and let mind be in stable condition.

I am going to share you a great story from Srimad Bhagwatam where we can learn from how "Out of Sight Out of Mind" really works and we can not protect our self from getting involved into sense gratification.

The story is about great Rishi Saubhari Muni who was doing his penance under water for 1000 years and was taken vow for austerity to keep away from material desires. One day while he was performing his austerity he saw male and female fish were involved in their sense gratification. By seeing this Rishi felt sensually agitated and felt from his Yoga and went to King Mandhata and asked to marry with all the 50 daughters for his sexual pleasure.

Later Saubhari Muni became regretful for his sensual momentum pleasure and immediately he accepted Vanprastha life and performed austerity to became a great Rishi.

So, from this story we can learn if a great Rishi like Saubhari Muni can fall down from his 1000 of years of austerity by seeing combination of fish then what to speak of us if we see movies, magazines, social medias etc.

So, the best way to prevent our self is to keep away from all these things and apply our mind in vedic scriptures, service of Lords, association of devotees.

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.
