MIND is SLOW LEARNER.

Learn to help it learn......
In our lifetime some of us might have came across with child who is born with learnings disorder like dyslexia ( difficulty to read & interpret ). In this kind of situation if parents do not understand the child then they will be very disappointed.  Normally parents like to teach to kids but in this case parents have to learn to make them learn. This dyslexia child likes to learn but have limitations, they can be taught with some parameters. Parents has to identify those parameters like giving them lots of examples, queueing , showing pictures...etc. Some parents will give up on their child, some will scold, condemned, beat up the child when they see other child of similar age doing very well in school. These dyslexic children have potential to learn, parents must keep patience and educate them first to educate child and child will come out as a shining star.

Like dyslexic child our mind also is a slow learner when it comes to learning some higher truth, good principles, morality, good values, good habits..etc When we try to teach or make it learn good things our mind wanders off and goes in all directions can't focus.  We need to find out how our mind can be educated or taught, try different method or approach but don't get disappointed, don't loose enthusiasm. Don't scold or beaten up your mind. 

In Bhagavad-Gita in Chapter of YOGA says that our mind is very restless, turbulent obstinate, wander around, very flickering much more difficult then controlling raging wind. We must learn how to control our own mind by providing good learning environment, good company to our mind, good spiritual thoughts ...nothing is impossible. Once mind is under our control and listen to us like our good spouse (LOL) or friends then it will be much more productive to self & society.   

Bg 6.6 — For him who has conquered the mind, the mind is the best of friends; but for one who has failed to do so, his mind will remain the greatest enemy. 
Bg 6.26 — From wherever the mind wanders due to its flickering and unsteady nature, one must certainly withdraw it and bring it back under the control of the Self. (vedabase.com)

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 (SB) is the nectar of all Vedic scriptures). SB is transcendental literature, hearing & reading is very satisfying & nourishing to our Soul.

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, wife, teachers, family & friends GREATFUL to EVERYONE WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED in MY LIFE.

EVERLASTING SUCCESS.

SUCCESS is MEANINGFUL if it is EVERLASTING.

FYI: Article might be too philosophical for some people.
Story of our Life from Birth to Death how to become successful? 

Success in our day to day life means 
1. Maintaining & entertaining our body and bodily requirements.
2. Trying to acquire degree, wealth, power, position and fame.
3. Have good family, friends and followers.

Material success is part of our life can't be ignored and we should not deprive ourselves from material necessities. If we carefully examine our life success is all about trying to find better facilities for "Eating, Sleeping, Mating and Defending " that's all. Animal can do the same thing without education & hard labor then what is special about human life?

What happens to our success at the time of death?
1.  Material body: We pampered our body throughout our life, keeping physically fit, use all kind of beauty makeup to look young, try to protect from disease...etc. After death body will perish ends in Dust.
2. Our wealth, power, position....will go to someone else immediately after death.
3. Our family, friends and well wishers have given company throughout our life, at the time of death they will come up to graveyard not beyond that. 

SUCCESS is MEANINGFUL if it is EVERLASTING. Is there any ultimate, true and everlasting success? Yes, as mention below.
1. Success is to Knowing ourselves or Self realisation.
2. Success is about building up our character or personality.
3. Success is to know what is purpose of my life? Life without purpose is failure.
4. Success is having everlasting passion, enthusiasm, happiness and love.
5. Success is inquire about how to resolve permanent misery due to Birth- Aging- Disease and Death?
6. Success is inquiring about Absolute Truth the source of everything.

Our deep feelings, emotions, developed consciousness ( mind, intellectual and ego) means our spiritual success is reflection of our Soul in outer world & will accompany with our Soul after death. Our present & next life happiness & overall outcome is based on our Spiritual Success which is EVERLASTING.

Besides maintaining & entertaining ourselves we should use our little bit of passion to inquire about spiritual success. Efforts to perusing Spiritual Success does not go in vain. In repetitive Birth-Death cycle such people born in either Aristocrat or Yogi's family to have opportunity to finish their goal....and finally get liberated from Birth-Death cycle. 

Bg 6.41 — The unsuccessful Yogi is born into a family of righteous people, or into a family of rich aristocracy.
Bg 6.43 — On taking such a birth, he revives the divine consciousness of his previous life, and he again tries to make further progress in order to achieve complete success, O son of Kuru.
Real problems of our life is janma-mrtyu-jara-vyadhi (Birth-Aging-Disease and Death) BG 13.9. ( Vedabase.com ). All other problems of our life are surrounded by Birth-Death cycle.
