How can I get rid of from bad habit?

There is nothing surprising in it if someone has some bad habit, everyone has some bad habit, there is saying, "habit is our second nature."

If one keep following their habits continuously then it become nature after sometime, some has electronics gadgets addiction, some has bad association, some has intoxication habits and there are many more types of it.

Here are we are going to discuss about how can we change our habit from bad to good and good to better and better to best. As many of the times we have mentioned Bhagwad Gita has each and every solution of our daily problems. So how can we change our habit is also mentioned in Bhagwad Gita 2.59 as Lord Krishna says,

विषया विनिवर्तन्ते निराहारस्य देहिनः ।

रसवर्जं रसोऽप्यस्य परं दृष्ट्वा निवर्तते ॥ 2.59 ॥

Though the embodied soul may be restricted from sense enjoyment, the taste for sense objects remains. But, ceasing such engagements by experiencing a higher taste, he is fixed in consciousness.

In this verse Lord Krishna explains about one needs enjoyment through his senses but if he get better alternative (higher taste) definitely he leave the old one. Same way we are getting some enjoyment from something or someone but we have not tasted the higher enjoyment that is why we are not letting the old things go.

If a person has habit of eating sugar but one day if he get taste of honey, surely he will never taste sugar again because he got the higher taster from sugar in honey.

Here are few things we need to maintain at least for 21 days:

1. Don't sit idle, engage your mind something productive work like keep help of your parents/teacher or society.

2. Make a time period of your smart phone, i.e. I Will only keep my phone with me only for 3 Hours in a day (or even less than that).

3. I will not keep association of that people whom I never get good lesson but only bad things (Don't break relationship with them but keep distance with them)

4. Try to spend quality time with your family.

5. Spend some times with nature, see how beautiful nature created by God and take 3 times deep breathe.

6. Keep your phone switch off one hour before going to sleep, read some Vedic scriptures like Bhagwad Gita, Ramayana, moral stories book before sleep.

7. Pray to Krishna, "Oh Krishna, I am trying my best to get out of my bad habits but I am not able to do it without your help, please help me.

If you genuinely follow above steps, I am hundred percent sure after few days you will see changes within you.

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.
