Can more money bring more happiness?

Most of the times we see people talk about only money, money is something that is very dear to everyone. Off course there is no doubt without money we can not even survive in this material world.

But that is also a fact one who think of only money 24x7 can not be happy. Money is like salt in food, if it is perfect in quantity then it taste well otherwise it destroy the taste.

Lack of understanding of spiritual life, God has been replaced by money. Student only study they think one day they get the good job and they will be happy, employee works hard thinking they will be promoted and get good salary, businessman live his hectic life thinking one day I will good amount of money I can relax my whole life.

But fact and figures says, around the world the person who has more money having more miserable life.

So, what does it mean? Should we stop studying, stop working and stop earning money? NO! We have to do each and everything what we do now but we have to understand how can we use money in our life to make our-self happy and peaceful?

In one of the Book (Satya) from DAS GADADHAR PRABHU has stated, "Happiness is at its peak when the economy is sufficient enough to fulfill the basic needs of life. Economy beyond that leads to misery and anxiety.

Money accumulated beyond certain limit will only bring closer false friends and true enemies and they will exploit everything.

According to our Vedic scripture one who has more than sufficient money should go for charity, one can utilize his money for right cause and that is to protect Brahmins, Cows and cultivate God full civilization.

We should divide our earnings in four parts, one for God, one for our family, one for our future and one for our relatives and society.

Then one can live and lead a happy peaceful life with money because now that money is completely purified.

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

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

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.
