Tips for a Happy Life!



                       .      To lead a happy life, all you need is strong faith in God and dedication in your Deeds. Leave everything else to God. Do all your duties at your level best. Then they will automatically become perfect. You should have the willingness to undertake any task coming in your way. Do not ever bother about your daily silly problems. Leave all that to God, who knows what your timely requirements are.
                    If we lament and bother 24 hours about our hardships and hurdles in  life, believe me, God will never pay any attention to that .We are so when we are self centered and consider all achievements as  the results of our own efforts and ability and blindly ignore the role of the Omnipotent. In such cases I say, you are not at all a worshipper of God, however intense you seem to be. Then you cannot feel the presence of God and you feel all alone.The moment you can identify His presence, you can proceed with the confidence to overcome any challenge in your life. For that you should always be aware of the different roles you have here on the Earth,whether it be that of a son, brother, husband, father; daughter, sister, wife, mother or an officer, and try to enact them perfectly. If you are willing to try to make them perfect and start doing so 100% satisfactorily, God will stand along with you to accomplish the job perfectly. The important aspect here is your dedication and sincerity.Do things without having any concern about  success, but having concern about the Almighty and doing justice to your Conscience.If you follow this, your achievements will be incredible. 
                          Always have in mind your favourite hymn in praise of God and try to analyse your everyday achievements in connection with Him. Thus try to become very close to Him without any intermediaries.Then you will receive His messages directly without any interruption and that will make your life beautiful beyond limits. Spend 23 hours and 40 minutes for your daily activities and the rest, ie, 20 minutes at least for worshiping God, who sets everything right in your life.

Discover the Real Power in You


Want to become successful in life? Try this solution!

                          "Be coward to God and brave to men"

      We are all the representatives of the Omnipresent, Omnipotent Almighty. Do you know the potential in You? Nothing is impossible if we have a positive attitude. It is the Attitude that determines our destiny. When I watched a circus show recently, the first one in my life, I confirmed this fact. There,even ladies were performing deadly tasks with smiles on their faces. I felt that they were mocking at the ladies sitting at home, complaining about their back pain and other problems. In my opinion we have to amass power from the circus ladies' example. There is immense potential  lying undiscovered within us, which can enable us to achieve the goal, whatever be the task. But we need only a very small portion of this potential to play the roles assigned to us by God, wonderfully.If we can’t do it, it’s only the problem of our attitude.

                              Don't ever be negative in your life. Take everything in a positive mood. The only thing you need in your life to march towards success is an attitude to deviate more and more towards the Almighty's side and positive thoughts. Have faith in the power of God, who will never do anything wrong to us. Don’t think that He will punish us for our mistakes. If you think that there is such a force, believe me, it’s not God. This is the first thing that should come to our mind that God will never punish us but guard us as a loving parent guards his child. Don't fear God, fear only your deeds. We receive back the result of our deeds and attitudes. Trust Him and deeply love Him or ourselves, who are the real miniature forms of him, having that divine spark of light inside us. I would like to call this spark, our "Conscience”. Be truthful to our conscience and proceed, keeping in mind the famous poet John Keats' words: "Truth Beauty, Beauty Truth”, which to me implies that Truth means God which is the beauty of my life. Shower and dedicate your efforts to make your roles beautiful and enact them perfectly. Have self respect. Don’t think about other people's attitudes towards us. Pay attention to your attitudes towards the world around you. Do justice to all, first of all to your Conscience and be happy by enjoying the small daily things of life. Derive pleasure in your everyday activities by enjoying and doing every task ,be it cooking, washing or administration of the country, perfectly with a smile on your face. It will make your tomorrows bright. Imagine that you have an account in God Almighty's Bank. You can deposit into it by doing things that please Him. By cheating and crookedly overtaking others, we can only raise our Swiss Bank deposit. But it will reduce the deposit in Almighty's Bank. Count the value of money earned with sweat on your forehead, however small it be. Consider it precious than the crores you amass deviating from the path of truth. Don’t compare yourself with anyone, whom you think have attained success. Only think about your role here on Earth and do justice to it. Then I can assure you that you will attain success and can be a role model to the whole world.

                                    Wake up, rise and shine!

"ULYSSES"-Message conveyed.


                         Tennyson, the famous Victorian poet, who lived in the age of great confusion between Science and religion, took his theme and hero for his poem “Ulysses" from the epic "Odyssey”, by the classic writer Homer. As T.S.Eliot wrote, no writer has existence if he cannot be a part of the chain that represents classic writers to modern writers. Or every writer who passes the test of time is a part of that chain of writers. In his opinion novelty is that which results when a writer amasses traditional knowledge and blends his individual talent with it, to create a literary work. Tennyson is the best example for this kind of greatness. He takes his hero from "Odyssey" and applies individual talent as a writer and makes Ulysses, the protagonist, immortal as a representative of never ending enthusiasm and zest and makes him a role model for all, in all ages. We, human beings are the true miniatures of Almighty, with that divine spark inside us. Omnipotent Almighty is there in all beings, unseen as a thread in a garland, where only the flowers are visible. If we have that divine light inside us, we have such an immense potential that we can perform any deadly adventurous task if we have an attitude for that. This is the message we get from this poem.
                           Ulysses, the ruler of Ithaca, who had participated in the Trojan War, returned to his motherland after an adventurous voyage. He ruled his country for some time. For this brave warrior, simply sitting in the palace along with his aged wife, Penelope and ruling the country, seemed unchallenging. He thought it a mild task and entrusted his son, Telemachus with the same. He urged for another wonderful, adventurous voyage in the stormy sea along with his brave sailors who were his companions in the Great Trojan War and the voyage. He wanted to be like a sword that shines in use and did not want to be one that rusts unburnished .He wanted to enjoy life till his last breath.
                               The poem is in the form of a monologue. Each and every line can be taken for a quotation. This poem impressed me so much that I believe that even the laziest man will get energy simply by going through the lines, or it is an energy booster for all generations.

Why I love the poem"Ode to Autumn"by John Keats.


The famous poem "Ode to Autumn" by the great Romantic poet, John Keats is an attempt to find beauty even in Autumn season in the nature around. We have seen poets, worshippers of nature, celebrating the beauty of Spring or other seasons. But here the poet who counts down his own days eagerly enjoys the minute beauties in nature. The feeling in the poem can be understood only when we know that the poet himself was going to die at that very early age. He tries to find beauty and enjoy the fruitfulness  and mist around.The great beauty of the poem lies in the fact that Autumn season is personified in it.We ourselves feel the smell of fruits around us when we go through the lines. The description is picturesque and actually it brought to my mind the field behind my own house and the reaping scenario there. The great poet sat there in England and presented the same scenario here in a small village in India. Believe me, I swear that intense feeling in all human beings in all ages and in all nations is the same.
