Every Pleasure has a seed of Suffering

The moment we think of pleasure in our mind we invite so many troubles in our life knowingly, because pleasure do not come alone but it comes along with its partner suffering.

Believe it or not we suffer more than we try to enjoy in our life. I share with you one story, how we get suffering rather than enjoy.

There was a poor lady she used to work in a house of a rich man. It was her daily routine to work and come back to home and she was doing her duty very honestly since very long time. One day when she was cleaning bed of her master suddenly her hand felt very much soft feeling and she thought how the person would be sleeping on this bed peacefully, because she was sleeping on floor and she never had experience of sleeping on soft cushion bed. But she immediately moved her hand from bed out of fear.

One day when her master was not there at home, she got chance to sit on that bed and when she sits on it she felt let's have little rest and she fall sleep.

After few hours when her master come back and went inside he saw that lady is sleeping on his bed, he got very angry and started shouting on her, "how dare you to sleep on my bed and started beating her."

That lady when come to her consciousness, she started laughing. Seeing this his master asked, I am beating you and you are laughing, tell me the reason why?

That lady told, my dear master I am laughing because I slept only for few hours and I got that much suffering instead of enjoy but you are sleeping since long then how much suffering yours will be?

Moral of the story is, Every enjoyment comes along with sufferings.

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.
