How Miracle Happened In My Life

It’s difficult to define pain and pleasure—two opposite emotions that dictate our well-being.

Through my numerous interactions with more than a hundred souls, I’ve come to realize:

For some, pain is losing their loved ones.

For others, it’s losing a high-paying job.

Some feel pain when they have nothing left to do except wait for death.

And then, there’s another kind of pain—the one that comes when basic needs are out of reach. The pain of hunger, of not having a roof over your head, of lacking even the bare minimum to survive. I have experienced this pain.

But nobody talks about it. Nobody bothers. Because most people don’t understand what real pain is, let alone experience it.

The same applies to pleasure. We are so immersed in materialistic pleasures that we have no idea what spiritual pleasure means. And that’s okay. Not all of us are meant to be Amitabh Bachchan or Shahrukh Khan. Life has its own game plan for each of us.

But within our own limits, we must try to redefine and rewrite our destiny. And that is only possible when we surrender—to the force that governs our lives—and keep doing our karma to the best of our abilities.

When we truly surrender, miracles happen.

I experienced one recently.

One of my clients had been withholding my payment. I was in urgent need of funds for my daughter’s wedding and was short by ₹2 lakh. I sent them an invoice for ₹22,500, at least for the GST payment, hoping they would clear it.

But I also did something else.

I turned to my Guruji—Babaji—who introduced Kriya Yoga to the world through Paramhansa Yogananda, the author of Autobiography of a Yogi. I told him, "You take care. I surrender to you completely."

The next day, I received a payment.

Not ₹22,500.

But ₹2,22,500.

Someone had added a zero. And somehow, it went unnoticed.

In a ₹1000-crore company, where checks and balances are strict, where every transaction is scrutinized, how could such a mistake happen?

It wasn’t extra money. It was exactly what was owed to me. Exactly what I needed.

A coincidence? I don’t think so.

A miracle? Absolutely.

Who made this happen? My Babaji.

If you seek miracles, they won’t come. But if you surrender—genuinely, completely, in your true helplessness—something shifts. The universe listens.

I surrendered. And the universe, through Babaji, responded.

I share real-life stories. If this one helps you in any way, I am grateful.

Spirituality Unlocks The Abundance In Life

In a world filled with constant noise and distractions, it can be easy to lose sight of what truly matters in life. We often find ourselves chasing after material wealth, success, and power, thinking that these things will bring us the fulfillment and happiness we desire. 

However, what many of us fail to realize is that true abundance in life can only be found through spirituality. Spirituality is often misunderstood as something reserved for religious individuals or those who spend their days meditating in solitude. 

Spirituality is a universal concept that is accessible to anyone, regardless of their beliefs or practices. At its core, spirituality is about connecting with something greater than ourselves, whether it be a higher power, the universe, or simply the interconnectedness of all living beings.

To understand what spirituality means and how useful it is to unlock the abundance in life, let us go through the following pertinent aspects.

Mile Mukti Zindagi Ki Agnipath Se!

Le chal mujhe zindagi zaha tera man kare,

Zinda yein lash mera kare bhi to kya kare.

Ab tera hi hawalei hein meri yein zindagi,

Aage karna kya hein ab tera hi hein marzi.

Na koi gila na koi shikowa na koi umeed,

Gujar rahi hein din har ek pal mouth ke karib.

Yein zindagi tune diya to bahut kuch mujko,

Par chhin kiyo Liya mujse mera asthithwo.

Dil keheta hein ke zor zor se itna  chillau,

Ke har ek gham jo dil mein use nikal du.

Magar gham hi khatam ho gayi zindigi se,

Kaise ji paunga mein sirf khusi ke sahare.

Ab na hein koi taqlif muje mera gham se,

Na hi hein koi sukun aur tasalli khusi se.

Khuda ko gale laga le Prabal itna pyar se,

Ke tuje mile mukti yein dard ki agnipath se.

Khushi Aayegi Pankh Lagake

Jo bhi Paana tha wo to maine paa Liya;

Jo bhi khona tha wo bhi to kho Diya.

Aab aur koi bemishal Tamanna nehi hein;
Zindagi ne khulkar bahut kuch diya hein.

Chota sa shaher se nikla tha ek parinda;
Kit na kuch kar dikhaya usne hey Khuda.

Ab use udne de khuda bekhauf bephikir;
Na koi uljhan aur na hi chinta yaa Daar.

Zindagi ek Nasha hein jo utarti hi nehi;
Mauth bhi kaise use kamzoor Kar pati.

Mauth aur zindagi ke beech Mein hum;
Doondte rahe humari wozood ka daam.

Khushi to ek bewafa jo dhoka hi de jati;
Gham to dost hein humesha saath raheti.

Gham ko gole laga lo Prabal bina soche;
Khushi ayegi tumhare pass pankh lagake.

HUMAN LIFE IS A PRECIOUS GIFT BY COSMIC ENERGY!

This Life, human life, despite its ruthlessness, more often than not, is a just a game that we must play to the best of our capacity, ability and skills.

We must understand that we are not this current body but a soul, that had resided in many bodies in the past and will continue to live in many in future up until it merges into universal consciousness, which is beyond the understanding of our current Intellect.

Connecting the dots between many past lives and the sufferings of this life, I wish to say:

Let us wait for the emergence of the favorable situations with great patience. Endure the worst, but never lose patience.

And when the right opportunity shines through the dark clouds of pains and agonies, leave no stone unturned to unleash your best efforts to encash the same.

However, I strongly believe that we can't do it without surrendering to the power of Universal Consciousness - unconditionally - for connecting individual soul with the Cosmic soul.

How we make the connection is one's own choice and they have to figure it out. I have done mine and my life is smiling at me after a long time in terms of peace of mind.

Even though it is forbidden to declare on a public domain, I am disclosing it for the benefits of many - I do Kriya meditation initiated by Mahaavatar Babaji, made available to the world by Sri Paramhansa Yogananda, who wrote the world famous book "Autobiography of A Yogi."

Success, whatever it is for you, is being delivered through God's E-Commerce platform, when you place the order with right address.

And the only way to have a divine Adhar Card for address proof is through practicing meditation for connecting our spiritual address with that of that unknown and not yet understood supreme power providing the resources for making our existence possible.

MAKE OTHERS FEEL BETTER!

Making others feel better, makes you fell better. Just a word of genuine appreciation. Or a genuine gesture of true recognition. That's all.

I am not getting into the science of feeling better in terms of release of Serotonin and other hormones. 

I have studied it all and am well aware of how physiology of humans work in consonance with the release of hormones from the brain.

I am talking about the practical aspect of how to Make others feel better in the most practical way.

We can do it by various ways:

Feed hungry souls: both humans and animals. Extend emotional support to them who are on the verge of psychological breakdown. Stand by them who have none to talk to about anything happening in their lives. 

You can't solve the life problems of others, but you can make them feel better while launching positive efforts to make their life a little bit more comfortable.

I am not a best selling writer and I don't know how to express my inner feelings in words. What I know is, making others feel better makes you feel better as you radiate the positive energy to the Universe and it respons accordingly.

There are certain categories of humans who can never feel better with all your efforts. Leave them, ignore them, let their destiny decide their fate.

You, we and I must focus on making those others feel better who can respond positively to the best of our efforts.

Making others feel better doesn't require any spiritual enlightenmen through Yoga and meditation. It's a way of life, for living a peaceful existence.

Just a smile to even a Stanger. Asking anyone known to you as how he is doing. Treating everyone with the respect they deserve. That's all about - Making others feel better.

Every human expects recognition of their existence, respect for their life developments and the acceptance of what they are.

When you accept all the above conditions without any reservations, you are bound to achieve a blissful state of mind.

Get the best from the materiastic world, extract the best from the Spiritualism that you practice, and blend both to live a great life of abundance with no attachment to the resultant or outcome of the same.

Extremely difficult. Not meant for 99.99 percent of the population.

Whatever, make it a point to make others feel better with whatever efforts within your capacity.

How To Live A Magical Life

Surrender to the flow of life instead of resisting it, to live a magical life. Nature has already devised a plan for you. Have patience and let it manifest when right time comes. It's called divine time. 

However, when the manifestation of the right time begins unfolding, unleash massive action to turn that opportunity to your advantage.

Watch the above video to understand the meaning of living a divine and accomplished life, full of peace, bliss and happiness.

The Benefit Of Giving Up Hope

Losing all hope was freedom.” ~Edward Norton in Fight Club

My latest realization is just opposite to what I have been believing through-out my life, up until now, and it is: Stop hoping and fearing, let the things happen as they are, but handle every unfolding situation with as much positivity as you can.

Once we stop, hoping and fearing - that we do every minute about everything in life and waste our mental energy - and let the flow of life takes us to the pre-determined destination, the nectar of peace and happiness starts filling our body, mind and soul. 

I completey agree with what Dr. Jessica Del Pozo has written in her eye-opening article 'The Benefits of Giving Up Hope' published in 'The Psychology Today' - "Hopelessness may help you stop trying to control everything. Hopeless may be a doorway to change as you trust the space left once you give up hope that this particular thing you want will get better. Maybe hopelessness happens just before a revolution."

She adds further - 

"Four Potential Down-Sides to Hope:

1.Hope can come loaded with expectations, expectations that are actually premeditated resentments.

2. Hope can be a way to avoid feeling something painful, preventing us from feeling sadness, thus keeping us stuck under its warm blanket.

3. We can cling to hope and even become addicted to it, preventing us from taking action toward something new.

4. Hope can be a shiny lacquer masking fear and uncertainty, attempting to restore a false sense of control."

You may read the article here: https://lnkd.in/dDs3TeSj

In my opinin: Our hope for a great future or the fear of a dreadful time ahead is not going to make it that way. Because, things will happen as they are supposed to. So keep taking actions, while facing every life developments without hope and fear, and leave the rest onto the hands of Destiny.

However, there is nothing wrong in pursuing our dreams, since hope is a feeling of expectation for a particular thing to happen and dream is a cherished ambition.

“It is not true that people stop pursuing dreams because they grow old, they grow old because they stop pursuing dreams.” ~ Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

Spirituality Is The Key To Abundance In Life

When one embraces the path of Spirituality, it doesn't matter who they were and what they are now in terms of materialistic achievements.

Whether you are the owner of a Multi-billion Dollar company, or the CEO of a 100 million dollar organization, what matters most is -- are you living the life you deserve to? 

Are you at peace with self? Or, are you living a miserable life, while targeting external achievements?

It's extremely difficult to understand my questions and more difficult to answer the same. 

You know, why? Because, we are confused. We have no idea about our flow of life. 

We are swimming in the Ganges of life, without having any clear thinking and idea about our destination. 

Frankly speaking, we need help. 

The help to make us understand the purpose and meaning of life. 

There where Spirituality steps in!

The emperors lost their empire. The Kings lost their kingdoms. The politicians lost their influence. 

However, a genuine and great Yogi never loses his control over many millions of lives, because, spirituality is everlasting -- if practiced properly.

What really makes sense is nothing but attaining the most difficult objective of life: Being at peace with self, even in the most difficult situations. 

That's called Serenity: The state of mind which is clam and peaceful amidst the most chaotic developments in and around us. 

Nothing materialistic can help you achieve it. For that, you have to turn your attention from ourside to inside.

That doesn't mean, you stop focusing on wealth creation. It means, create wealth without any attachment to the same and give it to them who are less fortunate than you.

Balancing between external success and internal achievement, with no attachment to the outcome of the resultant effort, is called Spirituality.

My thoughts are based on my Personal experiences and I could be wrong. I sincerely apologize to you for being so upfront in sharing what I believe is fact.

Success in life, that none can deny, is all about achieving happiness. And, we can't grab it, without practicing spiritualism.

There is a huge difference between 'Financial Freedom' and "Spiritual Independence." In my next post I will elaborate the same based on my Personal experiences.

Surrender To Cosmic Force For A Blissful Life

What we are looking outside is already existing inside. I am talking about peace of mind. Peace is not a piece of being better than the rest within your circle of influence. It is the totality of accepting life developments unfolding before us without having any control over the same.

One of my friends called me up the other day. He has been a great corporate performer. A hugely successful professional. Just a few months ago his mother had been diagnosed with Cancer and a month ago his wife with the need for dialysis every alternate day. Worst is, he has been asked to resign from the current job.

We don't have and neither will have any idea about the pains and agonies he is going through right now, unless we ourselves have experienced the same. That's why we never understand the behavior of others, since we have no idea about what might have triggered the same in their life.

We are always judgmental in a negative way and that was a fundamental tool for survival for the fittest in the "Stone Age." In the "Information Age," can't we be judgemental in a positive way? Can't we ask ourselves a simple question: "I need to know, why the way they are behaving the way they're." Even though the best option is being non-judgmental.

I don't wish to get into the details of threat perception and how our ancestors used it to their advantage to ensure their survival and keep alive the process of evolution to what we are today. They did it unknowingly. However, we must not repeat the same knowingly, as the situation now is entirely different than what it used to be. Evolution must go on, but not without knowledge.

What's happening around the world now is so negative in terms of living a decent life, and last but not the least --  destruction of so many souls. whose fault? We have no idea! But it is happening with so many and there is no guarantee that it won't happen in our lives too.

Going back to the real story of my friend, as mentioned above, I can only assume that there is a force beyond our understanding, I call it Cosmic Force, which is controlling our life developments. There is no scientific evidence so far to prove it, but we feel it.

However, to conclude, let me tell you that while practicing Kriya Meditation on daily basis, propagated through out the world by Paramhansa Swami Yoganand, I have realized that the only way to face all adversities of life with unrelenting courage and then achieve a permanent peace of mind is by accepting the consequences of unfolding situations being countered by with our Karmic weapons of action without any expectation of the result.

Never forget that it's your life and you have every right to live it the way you want it. Don't surrender to any humans in your Personal and Professional life, but to that cosmic force that has already devised a plan for you in this life of yours and many more lives ahead. That's is the only way to live a meaningful and purposeful life for attaining a blissful state of true happiness.

Is Life After Death A Reality?

I would like to share with you an interesting conversation I had today morning with the VP-HR of an MNC, a new client of mine.

Discussing in details about Paramhansa Yogananda and his book 'Autobiography of A Yogi,' since he too is a follower of the Master, narrated the incident.

He was physically present during the whole episode.

One of his Managers was declared dead by the Doctors by Covid in 2020 in the hospital, since there was no sign of life. No pulse and no heartbeat.

However, after 3/4 minutes his heart started beating again and pulse became normal.

Eventually he became alright and shared with the VP -HR, his boss, what had happened during those 3/4 minutes when he was pronounced dead.

He said that suddenly he saw his late parents and had a brief conversation with them.

When they asked him to come along and started moving, he refused and said, "I can't go with you. I have 2 young daughters and they need me."

Next thing he remembered was looking at the visitors in his room.

Without being judgemental, I am really curious about the spiritual dimension of the incident. This person is not lying, that much is for sure.

Spirituality And Destiny

When Destiny ignores you, have patience. Understand that she is testing your endurance limit. When she opens up her treasure, sky is the limit.

The latest example is Sunny Deol and the earth-shattering success of his film Gadar2. 

Where was Sunny and what was he doing for last 20 years? Nothing! Where is he now and doing what? Everything! 

Destiny gave him Gadar2 and he put in his best efforts. 

Look at the outcome.

That's how life works. Wait for the right situation and opportunity. When that comes, go all out like a mad and possessed personality to prove that you can no longer be ignored.

That's how Destiny works. And I believe that practicing spiritualily plays a decisive role in changing our Destiny. 

When Destiny offers you a great opportunity, leave no stone un-turned to turn the same into stupendous success.

There is only one life lesson from the cyclonic success of Gadar2, and it is: Wait for your turn. Be patient. Practice meditation. Waiting period might be in years.

However, Destiny is not ruthless and does recognize the efforts, even if late. Wait for the right moment and bite the opportunity Iike a King Cobra.

Never forget the following epic dialouge ever, from the Film Rocky, recepient of several Oscars, written and performed by Sylvester Stallone himself:

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!"

That's what Sunny Deol did. He has won. He has proved, how winning is done. Hats off to him! His Destiny helped him. He worked hard. I am sure, he is a spiritual practitioner also. Finally, he made it. 

However, we all know and understand as well, even if refuse to admit: End of the day, it's all about our Destiny. Because, working hard produces results only when Destiny is in favor.

I have started believing that raising our awareness level through spritual practice does help us change our future for living a happy and peaceful life.

Change Your Destiny With Spiritual Practice

This post and none of my earlier posts on the role of Destiny and Karma, governing our life developments, are depicting a pessimistic observation of life.

What I write is my point of view. I believe and said so many times, that Destiny is unavoidable but condition applies: That's Spirituality, which helps us make the right choice in a neutral state of mind.

The neutral state means, when the mind is devoid of internal and external conflicts and is stable with the ability to take right decision and make appropriate choice in accordance with the demand of the prevailing situation.

When I choose candidate for Leadership positions in Corporate India, I deeply analyse the same for obvious reasons.

Spirituality and Leadership are two sides of the coin called Success in both Professional and Personal life.

Success is not about getting highly charged in the morning like your mobile phone through night-long input.

Success is all about being performing through-out the day, without being charged on daily basis in the night and in the morning, for achieving your intended goal of life.

Success is not about external motivation, but about internal transformation.

And that never happens without being spiritually strengthened!

Message for the young generation below 45 years of age:

I had attended the Satsang at Kriya Yoga center of Paramhansa Sri Yogananda today morning.

Amazing experience!

Joining the 1st level of Kriya meditation very soon to explore my internal world and continue to the last level for attaining self-purification and eternal peace and happiness.

My elder daughter is doing level 2 now and she is feeling great.

It all begun for both me and my daughter, when we started reading the book "The Autobiography of A Yogi" few months ago.

That's how the calling comes, as I realize it now, with astonishing surprize, when God wants us to surrender unconditionally to the mighty power of the Law of Nature and inspires us keep working hard without any expectations from our efforts.

I have never believed in religious rituals, and those satanic and schizophrenic exhibitions of human madness. Don't now even; however, I have begun to believe in the power of meditation for changing our internal world for bettering the external manifestation of self.

That's where and how spirituality steps into our lives, the life we never control and neither have any influence over, unless the power of Spirituality helps us change the Will of Destiny.

We can change our Destiny through Spiritual interventions. That's how Nature works, and life as well.

When a learned scholar of Veda and Vedanta visited Paramhansa Ramakrishna - Guru of Swami Vivekananda - and explained him the meaning of ancient scriptures, RK replied - I am sorry, I havent read any of these. I'm the son of my mother 'Kali' and have surrendered to her.

That's the 'Power of Surrender' to the creator of this Universe for living a meaningful life.

The Loneliness And Soul

I really enjoy talking to my pet, Cooper, since he always listen to whatever I tell him with an occasional smile. Trust me, dogs do smile. 

Never, ever, he tries to get into an argument with me because he can't, even if he wishes. That makes him my best friend.

With old age approaching like a bullet train, senior citizens do need someone or a few, to listen to them unconditionally for a few minutes at least on daily basis.

Unfortunately, that doesn't happen, as the next generation is too busy in the construction of their own life that they don't even realize the startling fact that after a few decades they themselves would be in the same boat of loneliness.

Loneliness? 

Yes, it was, it is and it will always be, for all of us crossing the age of 60. Most ignore it, some refuges to acknowledge the same and the remaining few accept it.

When you have none for conversation, communication and interactions - it means....you are physically alive, but mentally dead.

Since we have no control over our life and death; in fact, not even our life developments, is there any other option but to watch our helplessness against the laws of nature?

We have been fooled by a group of religious intellectuals that we are the creators of our destiny. I disagree! Of course, with due respect to them. 

The fact is that the Laws of Nature are the creator of our destiny. There is none sitting high above the sky and monitoring our life developments, neither anyone operating from within.

So far, there is no concrete confirmation about what happens after we die. There are so many mind pleasing explanations from lot many intellectuals and the entrepreneurs in the field of religion about the same.

All these are based on faith and belief. For black-mailing common people. Frankly speaking, there is no scientific evidence that something called "Soul" exists. If scientific study leads to confirm the same - then I apologize.

We live and die only one life. If someone can prove otherwise, I will be the saddest person in the world as one life is more than enough.....

Heart transplant is a reality now. So the concept that so called Soul recides in the heart is gone to biting the dust. 

Next is Brain. 

Let's hope, when Brain Transplant becomes a reality, we will realize the truth about one time unique mortal existence -- questioning the concept of eternal human soul in the landscape of delusion.

Do Not Misunderstand Lord Krishna

Karma kadro, phal na moth sacho, ka Matlab hota hein 500% Karma karo. Itna Karma karo, ke phal tumhari jholi mein aa gire. 

Gita has been misinterpreted by so many, bit by bit, gradually, over several thousand years. Did Arjuna fight the battle of Kuruskhetra without expecting to win it. Did Lord Krishna say that?

Many of us think that we have done our Karma. Phal nehi Mila to they misquote Lord Krishna by saying - we have done our Karma, but result nehi Aya to kya hua. Krishna ne hi to Bola hein, result ka moth socho.

If you have writen a book and expect that none will read it, is that true Karma? Phir likha hi kyon? The fact is: Put so much of effort in writing that book that it captures the imagination of others and compels them to read it.

And that happens when we leave no stone unturned with relentless actions and investing 500 percent of our efforts to make that book so interesting that people have no option but to read it.

That is what Lord Krishna told Arjuna without excessive elaboration and we common people become happy with ignoring the same while not reading between the lines.

Writing book, is an example. What I am trying to highlight: It applies to each and every domain of life with regard to whatever we are doing to climb to the summit of recognition.

Put in your best efforts. Not 100 percent, but more than 500 percent. Then notice, what Krishna had said truly makes sense.

Life Development Pre-Determined?

 

My horoscope is before me right now.

Reading it after 40 years is shaking my belief that we are the creators of our Destiny -- what Swami Vivekananda said long ago.

If everything is predetermined, it means Lord Krishna's life too was pre-determined.

Does it mean that the messages in Gita too were pre-determined?

If it is so, who is determining these since eternity?

Everything mentioned in my horoscope is matching with my life developments.

How can one's life developments be predictable to such an accuracy?

Does it mean, we have no control over what's happening in our life.

Does it mean, every development in our life is pre-determined?

I am confused!!!

If every development in our life is pre-determined, then
we humans are nothing but robots for them who are controlling us. Amazing!

A force much bigger than Lord Krishna in Hinduism, Jesus in Christianity, Buddha in Buddhism and....

Life period of different creatures differs widely.

Most insects live less than a year. In fact, Mayfly — are the shortest living animals on the planet, as the adult lifespan of a fly from this species is only 24 hours.

The point is, human life span on an average of 60 years could be a second for those controlling us. May be much much less.

The point I am trying to make is - we are being controlled by some forces beyond the scope of Eisenstein's theory of relativity.

Awareness And Mind!

Awareness and mind are two completely different things.

Mind is a garden, full of the flowers of memories. And, every memory has got an emotion attached to it - either pain, or pleasure.

Awareness is like a powerful torch with a glowing flashlight. It can focus on any of the areas of our mind we want it to.

Wherever it focuses, attached emotion and corresponding feeling envelopes our mind - either pain, or pleasure - and our life energy goes there.

Energy can not differentiate between what is good and what is bad. It fuels where it is being directed toward and grows the same.

If our awareness focuses on the memories of negativity, our life energy goes there and pain grows. 

If our awareness focuses on the memories of positivity, our life energy goes there and pleasure increases.

Let us be aware, all the time, where we are focusing our awareness on in the garden of memories.

Let us focus our awareness on the positive memories and grow positivity in life.

Only then, we would be able to ensure a huge positive growth in our overall personality.

Then only, we would move closer to identifying the true meaning and purpose of being in every areas of life.

The Story Of A Man And An Exotic Bird!

“Sometimes the longest journey we make is the sixteen inches from our heads to our hearts.” – Elena Avila, author 

Surfing through the surging waves of life developments, often we forget about a few important lessons learned long back, from our parents, from our teachers and from our own life experiences. 

Our life journey might turn out to be an interesting exploration of several unknown terrains of uncertainty and unpredictability, if we follow those principles that define a meaningful and purposeful existence. 

Telling a compelling story, in the following video, Swami Gaur Gopal Das reminds us about 3 eternal droplets of knowledge and wisdom from the nectar of Supreme Consciousness. These are:

Take Yourself Seriously, Do Not Take Life Seriously!

Life is so uncertain; even though, we take it for granted. Life is so fragile; even though, we feel so confident about it. 

Life is mortal, even though, we never think so. I am not saying, we should take life seriously; however, we must understand that we have very limited time and make best use of it.

Through-out life, we remain busy in doing things that don't really matter to us. We forget to focus on things that do matter. 

Most of us measure life in terms of years remaining, completely forgetting a simple fact that there is no guarantee that our next breathe would follow or not.

Living seriously, we assume as if are going to live forever. Caught in a perpetual flow of decisions to make and events to handle on daily basis, we lose track of what a great living is all about. In a way, we take life seriously without taking ourselves seriously.

Constantly worried about unproductive things, madly busy in making money, we forget that those things have no relevance to living a purposeful and  meaningful life. 

As we grow old, we understand more and more, how important is enhancing the beauty inside us and growing our relationships.

So let us not take life so seriously, but ourselves. Let us do things that really matter to us. Let us live a life full of purpose and meaning. 

Let us respect the supreme intelligence, for giving us life. Let us be grateful to the Almighty for the gift of life.

That is the only way to unplug a never ending flow of happiness into our life, live blissfully and enjoy an ecstatic life! 

Watch the following videos, and ask yourself: "Am I Living a life, worth it?"
