THERE is NO HAPPINESS in THIS WORLD:

                                       

This Blog is completely opposite to last weeks Blog " How to be Happy ? "...SAD 😢. Yes true, there is no happiness in this world but we can still laugh....LOL😂.

In Vedic Scriptures a synonym for a University is called Vidyalayam meaning an educational institute to get an abundance of knowledge. A Library is known as Grandhalayam meaning a place where you find plenty of books of Knowledge. Similarly Planet Earth is described as a Dukhaalyam Asasvatam meaning a place where you experience endless miseries and Mrityuloka meaning a place where people are born to die. In short Planet Earth is a place where people are born for innumerable struggle, suffering and death.

Every life on Planet Earth wants to be happy & peaceful all the time. Unfortunately happy moments are very flickering, and cannot last for long time due to the duality of nature and this material world, meaning everything rotates in a cycle like Illness-Recovery, Obstacles-No obstacles, Birth-Death, Success-Failure, Victory-Defeat, Praise-Criticism, Winter-Summer, Monsoon-Drought, Happiness- Sorrowness....etc. 

There are many kinds of unthinkable tragic events that continue in people's lives throughout the globe since time immemorial. Suffering is inevitable in this world. Vedic Scriptures SB 10.14.58 says " padaṁ padaṁ yad vipadāṁ na teṣām " means there is struggle & danger at every steps in our life. There is non stop struggle in our & our loved ones life. How can we live & face the unstoppable challenges, obstacles & miseries in this world? 

Spiritual Knowledge & practices means Spiritual Yoga will give us a new perspective, understanding, strength, purpose to live and a new, brighter outlook toward life. Human life is a precious gift given to us, a reward or an honor rather than a sorrowful, misery-filled, or chaotic life.

By close observation & experience, we can understand that every problem of life is related to the Birth-Death cycle. Problems start with our Birth & end with our Death. Once we realize that we are an eternal Soul, and not a Body, We ourselves & Our Loved ones ALWAYS LIVE in this world in some form. We should not be fearful or disturbed by unthinkable tragic events happening in our life & around us.

Bg 2.13 -- As the embodied soul continuously passes, in this body, from boyhood to youth to old age, the soul similarly passes into another body at death. A sober person is not bewildered by such a change. Vedabase.com

Bg 2.14 -- O son of Kuntī, the nonpermanent appearance of happiness and distress, and their disappearance in due course, are like the appearance and disappearance of winter and summer seasons. They arise from sense perception, O scion of Bharata, and one must learn to tolerate them without being disturbed.

Bg 15.7 -- The living entities in this conditioned world are My eternal fragmental parts. Due to conditioned life, they are struggling very hard with the six senses, which include the mind.

Bg 18.58 -- If you become conscious of Me, you will pass over all the obstacles of conditioned life by My grace. If, however, you do not work in such consciousness but act through false ego, not hearing Me, you will be lost.

It is easy to say but difficult to follow. I am in the same boat with everyone else or I may even be behind, but thinking in the right direction will help us to go in right direction.

Have Not a Unhappy Day.

Thank You.

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 ).
