Please note! Advertises and obstructions are there for your own good. They occur to activate your strength and trigger its constructive use. Hidden beneath them is the spring of joy. Those who have never faced any hindrances or struggled against hardships would not know the real taste of happiness and success in life. Only those who have accepted these challenges with courage and stability and conquered over giant struggles in their lives are worthy of being called achievers, distinguished heroes. It is only the lives of such great people that deserve to be dignified.
So don't loose heart. Awaken! Rise! And look at the Almighty - the Divine Light of your Life-Force. God has not sent you in human from without any purpose. He has endowed you with immense potentials: it's your duty to make use of them. Suffering and sorrows surface in our world only until we don't sacrifice our narrow self-interests for greater aims in life. A sapling sprouts and a tree grows from only that seed which dissolves self-existence in the soil; flowers and fruits illustrate its accomplishments and expand its glory.
So, Be Happy and face all testing moments with smile and courage. Have unflinching faith in the eternal truth that your soul is omnipotent. This is what corresponds to having faith in God. The force of this intrinsic faith would wane out all your fears and weaknesses. Its impetus will awaken your inner strength by which you can eliminate all hindrances and win all battles of life.
Quest for Joy
Man wanders all the time, throughout his life, in search of joy, blissful peace, but remains dismayed and astray ….. Acquisition of hoards of wealth, worldly comforts, good health, delicious food, palatial house, vehicles, servants, gorgeous cloths, beauty, beloved family, faithful friends, supporters all around, powers, prestige, name and fame security …. And what not he looks for? People who lack in any of these strive for their possession; those, who already have, try to possess more with new passions ….
This scenario is like that of the tale of the swan (flamingo), which is hunting for the pearl since Ages, but finds nothing but a drop of dew …… why? Because, it did not really search for the pearl; did not even turn his face in the direction of the grand Ocean "Mansarovar" where the pearl is hidden in the depths … It did not gather the courage and strength to fly so long …. Short-sighted intellect and pleasure hungry mind advised it - "what is the guarantee that you will find that unseen Mansarovar"; and who knows whether there will really be any pearl and you would trace it? So it satisfied itself with the shining drops of dew; licked it and thought it has quenched the thirst …; it flew for sometime and the thirst recurred with greater intensity. The cycle continued …
This is what happens with most of us who keep searching for 'immortal' joy in the mirage of perishable world, keep accumulating more of what gives only a momentary pleasure but keeps us away from the sight of real bliss…..
