How to live a happy & peaceful life?

If I ask you, are you happy from your life? You reply might be, Yes, I could be If I get so and so things then my life will be absolutely peaceful and happy.

But the moment you get that things, you started looking for other things you see still there are something missing in my life to make me happy.

That is called illusion, it will always keep you unsatisfied and ask you to get these things to become happy and you start running behind it.

A poor person want just bread and butter to become happy, a middle class person want a home and good job to become happy in his life and a rich person want to be more rich to become happy.

But if we observe from all threes life they won't be happy even if they get what they wanted.

So what is the reason behind it? and why if try to be happy we become more miserable?

To know this we must know some principle from our Scriptures:

1. Whatever we have we must say thanks to God, "O Krishna! even I am not enough qualified for all these but still by your causeless mercy you have provided me everything."

2. We should know this material world is temporary and nothing is going to stay forever here, so better if we have less things we can a burden free life.

3. Compare to the person who has nothing in compare to you but still he is living his life then why not I?

4. Krishna has given quota for everyone and one should never try to acquire quota of someone else.

5. Whatever things we have in our present life let's utilize it and try to be happy with that rather than complaining the things which you don't have. This way you not enjoy present life but also make your life miserable.

6. Give more and take less this you feel more happy and satisfied from your heart.

Hare Krishna!

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.
