Most part of human life is largely spent in - eating, sleeping and being engaged in sensual passions and pleasures, or worrying, fearing or fighting etc. Almost all the time and efforts are centered round the body and the activities and people associated with it. But is that all the purpose for which the human life is bestowed? If the domain of life is confined to activities related with the body, its protection, fulfillment of its instinctive desires, then what is the difference between human and animals?
Human are the most evolved and intelligent beings. Greater responsibilities are also entrusted along with this superior among us, who do not bear the responsibilities of human life, are not worthy of the dignity of being called humans.
Eradication of evils, vices, wrongs, sufferings and agonies and establishment of the righteous, expansion of the enlightened values of humanity is the main purpose of human life. All the great talents, skills, abilities and powers which Nature has endowed us with are for the betterment of the world, for the welfare of all. So you must try your level best to help others, elevate them. No doubt, you should take care of your health, excelling of your own potentials, your near and dear ones, but your duties should not end there. What ever time and resources you have must also be shared for altruistic service of the needy around you; the society should also benefit by your talents and powers. The greater your altruistic contributions, the better would the use and brighter world be the glory of your life.
A Simple Sadhana of Gayana Yoga
Good name and fame, power, prosperity, high qualification, talents, reputed status, are regarded as measures of achievements in worldly life. These are all fruits of the tree of knowledge. You can't earn worldly success or excel without knowledge - be that in the form of awareness, information, education, skilled training, sane experience or inner light. Dissemination of knowledge for the enlightened welfare of others is the highest kind of donation. Feeding a needy with few meals would serve only temporary help; the lasting help path that will lead to his self-dependence and respectful future.
A disease might be treated by a medicine prescribed by a doctor. But one can't survive on medicine or tonics all the time for vigorous health. If you want to sustain good health, you will have to have and use the knowledge of preventive care and maintaining stamina etc. Only the spark of knowledge could uproot avarice, desperation, tension, apprehension, sorrow, and other mental weaknesses and psychological complaints, which make our lives burdensome. All the prosperity and might of the world together cannot control these complexities; rather they tend to augment the vices and worries in the absence of proper knowledge. True knowledge alone is the key to peace and happiness in this life and the life beyond. This mortal being, into great personalities. There is no better aims, no better gift then knowledge.
