No doubt one cannot avoid desires. But there should be a limit. Limitless desires result in ruin. Prosperity will elude such a person.The moment man is able to control his desires, all things will come to him of their own accord! Conquer greed, you realise happiness. Greed is another cause of human misery. Greed distances you from every kind of happiness - material, intellectual or spiritual! Greed is the cause for failure of people  to live happily despite having so much wealth and power. Hence banish greed from your hearts. When you foster the spirit of sacrifice, greed will vanish! With greed-filled hearts there is no room for joy. You cannot fill a tumbler full of water with milk. First, empty the tumbler and then fill it with milk! Likewise, get rid of greed and fill your heart with sacrifice! When you are overwhelmed with desire, you cannot have contentment. You may hear so many things, good or bad, being talked about around you. Need to learn to shift them and accept the good thoughts and neglect the bad ones. Spread the good thoughts for the benefit of all. Get rid of your evil qualities, wicked thoughts and bad intentions. Practise nonviolence. Ahimsa means not to hurt others by thoughts, words, and deeds. Never leave unity of thought, word, and deed, even for a moment. Only when you observe unity of thought, word, and deed in all your endeavours will divine feelings manifest in you. When your Intelligence is supreme, maya cannot cast her evil spell on you. The Gayatri Hymn of the Vedas, recited thrice a day by millions, asks for the awakening of intelligence so that when it brightens like the Sun at its zenith, the smog of delusion is destroyed. Then the waves of indecision and decision that confound, contradict, and confuse are stilled. This is the process of yoga or the arrest of the wandering mind.

 When you replace ‘lose’ with ‘learn’ the thought of failure becomes less daunting & lets you focus on growth. Let the failures in your life be your learning experiences. Avoid failures by analysing your perspective of such earlier occurrences. Further, make your experiences available to others so that alround failures can be minimised. A very important part of our lives is touching, heart warming each one we meet with our love and best wishes at every step. We all know what a good natured, complaisant, cheerful person is and that we should be one and give happiness, contentment, pleasure to everyone. We all also know that people all over the world, who are nice natured, benevolent, amiable, friendly, differ from the rest of the world & stand above everyone else. They are respected more and also they get the blessings, commendation grace of everyone much more. How often do we say, such a person is extremely kind hearted, is always giving care and support to all those whom h...

 When you exist in the beautiful state of gratitude, you become a person who only wants to gift. You become so grateful that it takes over your life, and you can’t find enough opportunities in a day to give. You give joy, you give happiness, you give money, you give appreciation, you give compliments, you give kindness, and the most important you give love. You give the best of yourself to your most loving lovable partner in your relationship. You will know when you have really found true gratitude, because you will become a giver. One who is truly grateful cannot be anything else. If you feel tense when you think of what you want, it is time to relax, relax, relax. Let your body relax your mind by allowing your body to floppy and as fluid as water. Every time you feel yourself starting to tense up, relax your body until you feel floppy again. The positive mind is always in harmony with itself, while the negative mind is always out of harmony, and thereby loses the greater part of ...
