BE SELFISH:

Selfishness is actually a quality of person in Mode of Ignorance. It is good to be generous & sharing mentality ( Mode of Goodness ) but when it comes to our health & spirituality be little SELFISH. Most of us must have experienced that life sometimes get entangled so-much with work, family & social responsibility, we hardly get time for ourselves. Down the road this kind of busy lifestyle affects our physical & mental health not good for us, our family or society. If we are healthy physically & mentally ( I mean wisdom ) we become joyful, loving, caring, enthusiastic, energetic, efficient...etc will be more productive and helpful to ourselves, family & society.....Win-Win situation. Family & Society should depends on us rather then we depends on them. 


In this age of darkness looks like animals & other creatures are in better position then human in terms of survival.....they don’t have to be educated and do hard labor to maintain themselves in comparison to human.....LOL. We as human should spare few hours for ourselves to maintain our physical & mental health ( spiritual wisdom ) besides maintaining other responsibilities. It is better if we can sacrifice some time & wealth now rather then later to earn our health & some wisdom......before it is too late. Be GREEDY to earn your physical wealth & wisdom. Don’t sacrifice your health for wealth. “Prevention is better then Cure. Evolution is better then Revolution”. Of course we need wealth to survive & enjoy the life, we should spend our time & wealth wisely.


Starting new project is always challenging.....we need to develop higher taste to study good spiritual books, eating healthy food & for exercises. Everything in our life has to be balanced eating, sleeping, work, recreation...etc.....to remain fit & progress in spiritual life. Even to become successful in our career & earn wealth we need some discipline.


Bg 6.16 — There is no possibility of one’s becoming a yogÄ«, O Arjuna, if one eats too much or eats too little, sleeps too much or does not sleep enough.                                                                                                                                                                                                 Bg 6.17 — He who is regulated in his habits of eating, sleeping, recreation and work can mitigate all material pains by practicing the yoga system ( Vedabase.com ).

MY SPIRITUAL INSPIRATION & SOURCE:

I am inspired to hear & read Vedic Scriptures & other philosophy by regularly hearing 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. 

I also hear and read everyday the discourses & literature on Vedic thoughts from Srila Prabhupada, his disciples & grand disciples ( HH Bhakti Rasamitra Swami, HH Chaitanya Charandas Prabhu, Sutapa Das, Amarnath Dasa, HH Bhakticharu Swami, Urmila Devi Dasi, HH Sivarama Swami, HH Radhanath Swami, Lal Govind Prabhu ( Gujarati & Hindi) Prahalad Maharaj in Surat (Gujarati) .......and many more from ISKCON......). 

FYI: Good source of Vedic literature: Vedabase.com ( Srimad Bhagavad Gita is the essence & Srimad Bhagavatam (SB) is the nectar of all Vedic scriptures ). Hearing & reading these scriptures, Eating Sanctified Pure Food and Chanting Vedic Mantra daily are purifying to our senses, nourishing to our heart ( Soul ), transcendental to our consciousness and uplifting to our emotions.

It is always good idea to share our good thoughts & knowledge with others. I am posting articles based on Vedic scriptures and expressing my opinion, thoughts, understanding & emotions. Writing/sharing the articles is my Devotion to God/Gita/Guru. Of course I use Smartphone, Google, Pexels search to collect some data. Thanks to Facebook & Social media for providing me the platform.

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

Hopefully my enthusiasm will continue by Grace of Guru & God ( Krishna , Absolute Truth ).

NOTE:
I use the word Hearing instead of Listening when it comes to Scriptures. Because Scriptures are so potent that simply by Hearing them even if you don’t try to interpret or analyze or understand them still there will be passive positive effects on our mind & senses.

We can follow either Quran, Bible, Jainism, Buddhism, Gita or any other Philosophy that makes sense to us, purify us , elevate our consciousness and qualify us to understand the God and instill the love for God & his creation. ( whichever way we can understand the God, Form or Formless..or Universal Consciousness or Energy ...etc ).

Don’t try to understand God by Name, Religion & Depiction ( means image, picture...etc ) but try to understand him by Definition through Scriptures. Transcendental subjects of God & his creation can not be understand by mental speculation. Some times people ask why God is Supreme? It is just like asking why circle is circular? Just by definition circle is circular similarly by definition God is unborn, complete, unlimited, infinite, eternal, the Absolute Truth the source of everything, cause of all causes. 

I see the God besides above mention qualities as a eternal living person ( not a abstract or some kind of light ) known by name Krishna means who attracts everyone has also MANY other NAMES, form, abode, many incarnation, activities, qualities, associates, full of wisdom, bliss, cause of all causes.
