Many time we have seen signs at the road work says " Temporary Inconvenience , Permanent Improvement". But in material world it is other way around " Temporary Improvement, Permanent Inconvenience".
Yes so true. Our life is full of challenges & obstacles, many issues to be resolved at home, at work, in society, at county level, in politics, even in religion....etc.
SB: 10.14.58 says padaṁ padaṁ yad vipadāṁ na teṣām: There is struggle & danger at every steps in our life.
We can not escape from these Chaos. Our surroundings situation will never be perfect, if we get stuck on one particular issue our attention & energy will be diverted from other parts of life. Many things in life can not be fixed - they just need to be managed and tolerated. We must have to tempered our consciousness toward unresolved problems & focus on other part of the life.
WE HAVE to LEARN to LIVE with CHAOS.
Learning to live with chaos is more realistic, progressive and practical or pragmatic. Like running water effortlessly flows around any obstructions to its final destination similarly we should march on through any challenges in our life to achieve our goal. Time to time we need to turn off our mind from external chaos and focus inward for our internal development to strengthen ourselves. That dose not mean to be selfish or irresponsible but it means be Attentive but not Attached to the situation. Our material & spiritual growth can not be hampered from surroundings situation.
Bg 2.14 —This world is a place of dualities wherein......Problems-No problems, Illness-Recovery, Obstacles-No obstacles, Birth-Death, Success-Failure, Victory-Defeat, Praise-Criticism, Happiness-Sorrow......etc continue as a cycle like Summer-Winter throughout in our life. They arise from sense perception and one must learn to tolerate unhappy & chaotic moments without being disturbed.

I am inspire to hear & read Vedic Scriptures & other philosophy by regularly listening Sri Pandurang Shashtri Athvale known as Dadaji ( speak on Srimad Bhagavad Gita, Veda based discourses & western philosophy ) and association of Swadhyay Parivar every Sunday in Swadhya Kendra.
FYI: Good source of Vedic literature: Vedabase.com (Srimad Bhagavad Gita is the essence & Srimad Bhagavatam is the nectar of all Vedic scriptures).
I also hear and read discourses & articles on Vedic thoughts & other philosophy from Srila Prabhupada, his disciples & grand disciples (Rasamitra Swami, Chaitanya Charandas Prabhu, Sutapa Das, Amarnath Dasa, Bhakticharu Swami, Urmila Devi Dasi, Radhanath Swami, Lal Govind Prabhu ( Gujarati & Hindi) Prahalad Maharaj in Surat (Gujarati) .......and many more from ISKCON......).
I am posting some article based on Vedic scriptures and literature. Of course I use Google search to collect some data. Thanks to Facebook for providing platform.
It is always good idea to share our good thoughts & knowledge with others. Besides my parents, spouse, teachers, family & friends GREATFUL to EVERYONE WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED in MY LIFE.
