OUR BEST PERFORMANCE:  

                                        

By AWARENESS, APPRECIATION, ACTION and ASSOCIATION.

AWARENESS:
1. We live our day to day lives with Physical Awareness of ourselves meaning our wealth, power, position, politics, fame, beauty, status & other surrounding situations. 
2. Physical Awareness varies from person to person and is constantly changing. Yes, we should pay attention to our Physical Awareness but should not get absorbed into it because it is temporary. 
3. Only two things which are common among all of us including other creatures are a. We like to live forever and b. We like to love & to be loved by someone; that’s our inner Spiritual Awareness of eternal Soul. 
4. Spiritual Awareness will bring out our joyful, kind, loving, generous, honest, modest, compassionate ...Spiritual personality. 
5. Physical Awareness will bring out our selfish, competitive, aggressive, greedy, envious, possessive, fake, flashy, agitated...Materialistic personality.
6. We are a mixture of the Spiritual & Materialistic personalities. Try to focus on developing a Spiritual Awareness or Personality by practicing Spiritual Yoga which indirectly helps us to advance materially as well. Without Spirituality in the background, Materiality will creat lots of disturbance, degradation & destruction in society.

APPRECIATION: 
Every Good thing starts with Appreciation & Association.
1. Appreciate the Time, Place & Circumstances, meaning appreciate your present situation. If you have an unsatisfied personality, you will never be happy in any situation of your life.  
2. Appreciate your family, friends, colleagues, NATURE, Guru, of course God...or any one who may have contributed to your life. The most important: Appreciate your wife’s cooking & clothing even if it is not perfect..😝LOL
3. Don’t think too much about your past mistakes & unknown future otherwise your mind will be engrossed with too many worries. 

ACTION:
1. Try your best to improve your current situation, but don’t be disappointed, unsatisfied & unhappy with the current situation. 
2. Play your role, don’t worry about the roles of others. the universe will play it’s role to improve your present situation. 
3. Never ever quit your prescribed duty either as a Parent, Children, Spouse, Friend, Teacher, Student, Employee, Employer....President or whatever roll is given to us. Don’t focus on the outcome of your duty.

ASSOCIATION: 
Birds of the same father flock together. Associate with likeminded people to excel in our career materially and spiritually. Association with one compatible person ( if possible try to keep company with someone higher then you ) will be good enough to help us excel in our lives, than the company of a huge crowd that is not compatible amongst each other. 

Bg 2.47 — You have a right to perform your prescribed duty, but you are not entitled to the fruits of action. Never consider yourself the cause of the results of your activities, and never be attached to not doing your duty. Vedabase.com

MY SPIRITUAL INSPIRATION , SOURCE & THE GURUS:

I am inspired to hear & read the Vedic Scriptures by regularly listening to Sri Pandurang Shashtri Athvale, also known as Dadaji ( speaks on Srimad Bhagavad Gita, Veda based discourses & western philosophy ) and the association of Swadhyay Parivar every Sunday in Swadhya Kendra. 

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

FYI: A 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 Mantras daily purify our senses, nourishing our heart ( Soul ), are transcendental to our consciousness, uplifting to our emotions and thus perfect our Free Will. Otherwise this powerful material world will degrade us.

It is always a good idea to share our good thoughts & knowledge with others. I am posting articles based on the Vedic scriptures and expressing my opinion, thoughts, understanding, emotions & 💗. Writing/sharing the articles is my Devotion to the God/Gita/Guru. Of course I use Smartphone/Google/Pexels search to collect some data. Thanks to the 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 the Guru & God ( Krishna , Absolute Truth ).

NOTE:
I use the word Hearing instead of Listening when it comes to the 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 the Quran, Bible, Judaism, Jainism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Gita or any other Philosophy which makes sense to us, purifies us , elevates our consciousness and qualifies us to understand God and instill the love of 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 or Depiction ( means image, picture...etc ) but try to understand him by the Definition through Scriptures. The Transcendental subject of God & his creation cannot be understood by mental speculation. Some times people ask why God is Supreme? It is just like asking why is the circle circular? Just by definition, the 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 God, besides the above mentioned qualities, as an eternal living person ( not a abstract or some kind of light ) known by the name KRISHNA meaning one who attracts everyone has also MANY other NAMES, forms, abodes, incarnations, activities, qualities, associates, is full of wisdom, bliss, and the cause of all causes.

Bg 9.17 — I am the father of this universe, the mother, the support and the grandsire. I am the object of knowledge, the purifier and the syllable oṁ. I am also the Ṛg, the Sāma and the Yajur Vedas.

Bg:13-12:— Accepting the importance of self-realization; and philosophical search for the Absolute Truth ( God ) – all these I declare to be knowledge, and besides this whatever there may be is ignorance. ( Vedabase.com ).
