Another Way of Life


From desire comes greed, selfishness and wrong doing. It has a venomous tendency to lead the way to anger, lust, confusion, egoism, showing off, malice, hatred, revenge, shamelessness, pride, mistrust, lies, gluttony and violence. Affection and desire are complementary, affection can also lead us to dark side. when you have affection towards some person or thing, it eventually paves the way for possessiveness and sense of pride.

So how should this be avoided. This is the question I'm asking myself from a long time which would pave the way for another way of life. Simple way is not to look for fame anywhere, just go on doing the work you like most, just go on for creativity. Competition creates malice sometimes. Don't compete with others, compete with yourself. You will eventually defeat those whom you compete with. Then with whom you will compete.

Take inspiration. When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds: your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction and you find yourself in a new great and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive and you discover yourself to be a greater person you ever dreamed yourself to be. Great dreamers dreams are never fulfilled, they are always transcended. Let it be transcended.

There are no mistakes in life only lessons. There is no such thing such as negative experience, only opportunities to grow, learn and advance along the road of self mastery. From struggle comes strength. Even pain can be a wonderful teacher. Don't regret of anything you have done in your life, don't ever feel guilty about it. Though it may sound absurd but it will take you towards the another way of life.

Just stop expecting from this world, and take whatever comes in ur life....just believe in destiny...it will ease many of ur problems.
The lines from Devanand's song 'Main zindagi ka sath nibhata chalagaya':

"Jo milgaya usiko mukkaddar samazh liya,
Jo kho gaya main usko bhulata chala gaya"
say the same.

Try to be contented with what u have.
