Its is ironical that many people prefer suffering hardship and scarcity instead of doing hard work, because they somehow regard physical labor as something below their prestige. These insane convictions are harmful not only to the individuals but also to the society as a whole. Wasting time in lethargy, just waiting for a task worth the standard of one's family's tradition or conviction leads to further loss, despair and decline. The secret of success of the societies and nations seen as developed or progressing is that they respect and adopt hard labor - be that physical or mental -, all walks of life.
Assiduity is the torch, which guides the path of progress. Those who scorn it or feel ashamed in following it, block their own rise. If a soldier does not like to carry the gun on his shoulders, how will he win on the battlefront?
Industriousness is the key to prosperity. It is only hard earned wealth which can give soothing satisfaction. Our routine should have appropriate place for physical and mental labor. Both are important. Adoption of both with diligence is a sign of wisdom.
A Sadhaka Shuns out All Worries
A Sadhaka is engaged in spiritual endeavor of self-transformation, illumination and ultimate realization. He should be a true devotee who dedicates himself to God's Will. He believes in "Hoi hai vahi Jo Rama rachi rakha" and leaves all his prejudices and expectations. Whatever happens, he regards it as an outcome of thy plan and hence as eventually having some auspicious effects, although it might be adverse in worldly sense. He continues his efforts with equal enthusiasm and sincerity in all circumstances.
God is Omniscient. HE arranges for elimination of the devotees blemishes and inspires his refinement. Understanding this fact, the Sadhaka regards hardships and adversities as part of his Sadhaka bestowed by the Almighty. Divinity encompasses absolute welfare of all beings. Unperturbed faith in God and engrossment in divine thoughts is essential for every Sadhaka. It is the Shraddha (intrinsic faith in divinity and inner devotion) of the Sadhaka to God and accomplishes his auspicious welfare and platitudinous enlightenment.
Focus Your Thoughts On "Why and How"
We might have seen that the same happening has quite different effects on different individuals. For example something that attract one towards luxurious pleasure whereas it might distract one from such attachment and inspire a feeling of sacrifice. Thus, the power (of the effect) lies not in the events or circumstances, rather in one's mind. One's thoughts shape his life. Focused and sound thinking is therefore important in every situation. Scientific thinking is best as it is unbiased and concentrates only upon knowing the sauce, the reason behind a happening.
Before taking up a task at hand, you must ponder over all its aspects. If you fail or are unable to complete it in the best way, you must think and analyze your mistakes, if any and also find out the possibilities of improvement. You should also ponder over your reactions, thoughts and sentiments. "Why did certain think come to my mind"? Or, "Why did I behave that way"? etc… Thinking along these lines trains you in introspection and sound thinking. It is also an excellent way of controlling the agile mind. It will also help you think deeply and find solutions to problems at hand. Start this practice intelligently and become a thorough thinker ….
