Money or right education, what is more important for your child?

In our Vedic times it is known to be a child will be under protection of his father till death and after he will take his responsibility and carry on, this way it was understood that child is in proper discipline and following the culture. So father was not even worried about whatever he left for his child and even that times it was assumed to not to accumulate too much.

But now, we see a father think I should save so much money for my child so he will enjoy his whole life and he does so much hard work for it. He brings costly gift for him, costly clothes and many more things so that child can never think of I am in lack of something.

If you don't give your child a costly gift, he will cry only once but if you fail to give him proper culture and education he will cry for his whole life. Now it's up to us what is more suitable to make our child future to give them costly gift or right education, so they can differentiate what is right and what is wrong?

There was one person who used to work hard and keep himself always busy for his child future. After some time suddenly he got accident and died and whatever he left it became his child's property.

His child got into a bad association and used to keep intoxicated all the times, he never do anything for his family and society.

His only concern was I have lot's of property, now why I should do anything, instead I must enjoy.

His mother left him alone because of his bad habit and now he was fully free to enjoy whatever he want to. He just used to drink and sleep all the time and keep himself in completely bad association.

Slowly-slowly he started losing his money in his friends, and one day he see all his friends left him alone, saying, 'Now you don't have money what is the use of our friendship now.

There is a saying, पूत कपूत तो का धन संचय, पूत सपूत तो का धन संचय . If a child is foolish then what is the use of saving money for him and if a child is wise then what is the use of saving money.

A foolish child lose everything whatever he get, and a wise child create everything even he does not get anything.

So wise people invest his money for child's education not for his future. And right education is not only material education to just earn money but moral education as well. So, child can discriminate in good and bad things.

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.
