What are some of the common traps we must avoid at all times?

Praising oneself and condemning others are equally dangerous. Attempting to hide one’s meanness and wickedness, and putting on the mask of goodness, justifying one’s faults and exaggerating one’s attainments - these are also poisonous traits. Equally evil is the habit of ignoring the good in others and assiduously seeking only their faults. Never speak words that demean the other. When we are friendly with another and like them very much, whatever he/she does is certain to strike us as good. When the wind changes and the same person is disliked, even the good he/she does appears to us as bad. Both these reactions are misconceived. They are not commendable at all.

What is the right attitude when others are praised?

You must learn to be happy and filled with joy when others are acclaimed as good and are respected for their virtues and the ideals they hold dear. You must cultivate broad outlook and purity of motives, and also must be ever vigilant such that the demon of envy does not possess you. This demon of jealousy is certain to destroy all that is precious within you. It will even ruin your health and damage your digestive system. It will rob you your sleep and sap your physical and mental stamina, ultimately reducing you to the state of chronic illness. Hence, if someone is praised and you desire it, you must resolve to emulate those who do better than you and earn equal appreciation. You must strive to acquire knowledge, skills and experience as much as others. That is the proper ambition you must have.

Why should we not mirror others' behaviour when we get hurt?

The ideas and pronouncements of others may often be personal, or may induce feelings of hatred between people. Why should we accept them as ours and mould our feelings accordingly? We should not try to shape our feelings and patterns of behaviour to conform to those of others. We must not relinquish our faith, our experience and our innate holiness. Born as human beings, moving about as educated persons, yet foolishly following others as sheep do and polluting the minds with ideas borrowed from others are things to be avoided.

How much does the Lord bend, to serve His dearest devotee?

During the war, the palms of Lord Sri Krishna, soft and tender like lotus petals, developed boils all over, since the steeds strained their hardest, when they were restrained or controlled as He had to hold the reins tight. The Lord devoid of food and sleep, performed services both high and low, and kept ready both horses and chariot in perfect trim. He also went on various other sundry errands, which were fundamental to achieving victory. He bathed the horses in the river, attended to their wounds and applied balm to cure them. Basically, He acted as a servant in the household of Pandavas! He never assumed the role of the Universal Sovereign that is His real nature and status. That was the measure of His affection for those devoted to Him!

What is the most important lesson the scriptures teach us

The shastras (scriptures) direct and counsel everyone. People yield to delusion and become one with the darkness caused by false values and attachment to the unreal - the “me” and “mine”. But scripture is the mother; she does not give up. She persists and pursues; she reminds people of their goal in order to ensure that they will be saved. One need not drink the entire ocean to know its taste; placing just one drop on the tongue is enough. Similarly, it is impossible to understand all the contents of the scriptures. It is enough if one grasps the important lesson that is elaborated therein and puts that lesson into practice. The lesson is: Constant thought of God.

Is to err a natural human trait?

Many feel that it is human to err and that Bhagawan should forgive their lapses. In fact, if they were truly human, they should not commit mistakes at all. Even if sometimes a mistake is committed, willingly or unwillingly, it should not be repeated. It is a grievous error to think that it is natural for a human being to err. To follow the directives of the senses is the mark of an animal. To be guided by the Atma is the sign of a human being. None should attempt to justify his or her weaknesses and lapses as natural to a human being; they should be regarded as signs of mental debility. When you have truly acquired sense-control, you will experience the power of the Divine in you.

INDIA IS A RICH COUNTRY WHERE POOR PEOPLE LIVE

It will appear surprising that India is a rich country where poor people live


In this session I wish to share with the readers that In fact this is the sentence written by a well known and renowned author of Germany who visited India. In his view a lot of things are buried in this country such as wisdom (GYAN), property, natures surprises, wealth etc. But no body bothers to un reveal any thing. We are born poor and die as poor. We have no lust for learning, knowing or changing. In fact we feel the life as an interval between two births and we feel that we have come on earth just to pass the time and live the life just like a person sitting in the waiting room, waiting for the train to come in which he/she could board.  The train which we all are waiting is nothing else but DEATH.


In fact every human who takes birth is made to learn just from the time  of birth that Death is the prime truth and the life is just a part of some drama to be played for which we have been sent on earth. 


That is why we are taught in the religious lectures 
JIWAN KSHAN BHANGUR HAI.... PANI KERA BUDBUDA   AS MANUS KI JAAT, DEKHAT HI CHUP JAYEGA JYON TARA PARBHAT..   MARNA SACH...JEENA JHUTH


All these thoughts give depression for life, make us idle and deject us from learning. Though  it is well said that man is a student through out the life  


But our so called DHARAM GURUS don't let us remain student, because when we know that we will die soon, why will we strive for the work, progress, development, learning etc. we will think what for and why should I take the trouble to do all this when I don't know whether I will be alive to enjoy the fruits of what I have done.


In fact
