Following Right Virtues Reduces Mental Agony 

To lead a fulfilling life a very important factor is the presence of right virtues in the day to day conduct in your life. When you are following the right virtues it automatically guarantees the absence of vice from your life thereby reducing the

 mental agony and the resultant stress which is the result of leading a life devoid of one or more of these virtues. This concept can be explained with the help of an example, i.e., Suppose a building needs to be constructed, there are certain truths about the construction of this building which are very well known to the people responsible for its construction, including the quality of the desired ambiance of the building, purpose for which  this building will be utilized, the layout plan, obtaining necessary government approvals and licenses ,the construction cost, the overall project cost ,competence of the architect involved, expertise of the technical teams responsible to carryout air-conditioning, electrical  , plumbing, sanitation work, interior decoration work, the quality of raw material used in each of these activities as well as the overall construction of the building, etc. that much care and effort needs to be taken to construct a building which would last a life time and be a perfect fit for the objectives which it is supposed to meet. Consider for a moment the consequences that would arise if only any one of these factors is compromised on, it would in fact adversely affect all the other factors and would finally take the complete project in an entirely different direction. Now consider if the compromise happens on any two factors then the result would still be worse than the situation where only one factor was compromised. Now consider three or more compromised factors and you may find that the viability of the complete project is jeopardized.

Distance Between You And The Fulfilling Experience Of Life

Similarly your life has the right virtues as the critical factors affecting the overall manner in which a fulfilling life can be lived, but compromise on any one factor is enough to drag the experience of a fulfilling life far beyond your reach and with each additional factor getting compromised the distance between you and the fulfilling experience of life keeps increasing exponentially. This can help you understand that with the increase in the number of right virtues getting compromised the life becomes completely devoid of any feeling of fulfillment. This can be additionally explained by the reality that when any right virtue is missing from your life, the effect gets compounded by the addition of the presence of a negative virtue, which automatically surfaces in the absence of a right virtue. Thus it is absolutely critical to know that the right virtues  can help you in leading a fulfilling life and to ensure that these virtues are made into habits not through forceful adherence but through surrender, service and humility.   

God Bless

Upgrade Your Behavior for Personal Growth & Prosperity

By
                        When interacting with others, most of us have this approach of taking others for granted. We generally are too obsessed with our own liking, disliking, goals, aspirations, plans, dreams and the list has no end. But this approach can only take us down the hill and pretty fast. It might seem that being self centered is in our long term interest but this is like viewing distorted reality.                        Anything that we feel is only for us , and under the influence of such thoughts if we go on antagonizing others around us, we are surely inviting trouble for ourselves. When that problem is going to surface?, this  is just a matter of time but it certainly would.                            The social approach of being considerate & kind , as well as adhering to th...

Relevance of Diwali for the Modern Day Civilization

By
  How Did the Festival of Diwali Start? This was the day on which Lord Ram, his wife Goddess Sita, brother Lakshman and his army of warriors returned to Ayodhya after conquering Ravan, the demon king of Lanka. The city of Ayodhya was decorated with lights to welcome Lord Ram and the festival of Diwali, also popularly known as Deepawali, was celebrated for the first time. Since then the festival of Diwali is celebrated every year in Bharat. Even after the passage of thousands of years the passion and fervor with which Diwali is celebrated continues to grow each passing year.
