Be Intelligent, Brave and Wealthy

Let us be intelligent, brave and wealthy for making our life successful. Let us not be slanderers, deceitful, back-biters and disrespectful. Let us not be deprived of intelligence, so that we can remain happy throughout life and continue worshipping God.

Message: Every man wants to be happy. For that he makes various plans and develops the means for that with his intelligence and capacity. Along with that, the undisputed fact remains that he is not liberated from sorrow. There are such a large number of reasons for causing sorrow that some kind of sorrow will overtake the man, howsoever much careful he may be. Even the highly knowledgeable and wealthy people cannot save themselves from it. In reality there are very many means of comfort in the world, but even men surrounded with such means too remain unhappy. In such a situation, when man is not able to save himself, he should desire that he be mentally prepared to welcome sorrow or unhappiness. In this way he will not be influenced by the intensity of sorrow.

The meaningfulness of our worth and insight is in our becoming calm, serious and brave and overcoming every type of trouble smilingly. We should always remember that when the days of happiness no longer exist, then these unhappy days will also be over quickly. A negative attitude towards life also makes a person unhappy. One must always try to save oneself from it. If a person always goes on thinking about a situation of shortages in life, then also he will

be troubled by unhappiness. He should think that whatever he has received, or whatever he is receiving is because of the endless benevolence of God and is for his happiness only. Most of the sorrows are created by man himself through his ignorance, perverse nature, deceit and selfishness. He Himself has invited his own destruction. This itself is the reason for his pitiable condition. First the man creates such an atmosphere by his bad tendencies and vices that difficulties surround him from all sides. In such a situation his discretion and patience get destroyed and he is not able to find a way out of these troubles. He finds unbearable the advice given to him by others. This type of mental distortion does the work of increasing his sorrow even more.

To be liberated from sorrows, man has to help himself. The consolation from others does not give any particular benefit. All the sorrows of man get destroyed by remaining happy according to the direction given in the holy Gita. If the person can cultivate a habit of laughing and smiling, then his mind becomes steady very quickly and in that way, he can definitely increase his happiness.



‘Sukh dukh ya sansar mein,sub kahu ko hoy,

gyani kaate gyan se, murkh kaate roy’.



This hindi saying means, ‘everyone in this world gets troubles, but the wise person cuts them away with knowledge, but the foolish whiles away his time in crying’. This is the only measure of the meaningfulness of our knowledge.
