How to lead life and to become poorna (Complete).

Human life is the gift of God. Among all the living beings humans are superior’s. Human life is bound by certain duties. One should have un-changeable faith in human endeavour and self restraint (Samyama). We should practice self discipline (Tapasya).

To become poorna (complete):
We all should do four ‘Purusharthas’(Object of human pursuit)  to have complete life.

1) Dharma: In daily life we may do so may actions(karmas) those should be virtuous. We should lead  right way of living and follow cosmic law.
2) Artha: Earning materialistic things and prosperity.
3) Kama: Sensory enjoyment and desire.
4) Moksha: Spiritual liberation and self realization.


“The life span of a man is one hundred years. Dividing that time , he should attend to three aims of life in such a way that they support , rather than hinder each other. In his youth he should attend to profitable aims (Artha) such as learning , in his prime to pleasure(Kama) , and in his old age to Dharma and Moksha.”
-Vatsyayana (Kamasutra).

You knows that eating sweets are not good for your health .Now can you dare(choose) to eat sweets. Choose wisely what is good to you.

Anyone can choose to have pleasurables in their life and many of them will usually do. For an instance you have planned for going to morning walk but when alarm wakes you up you couldn’t  wake-up because you choose to have pleasurable(sleep).

 All pleasurables may give you a short-term ‘benefits’.But a wise soul always choose to have preferables in their life. They may not give you instant ‘pleasure’ but end results gives you abundance happiness.

Cleansing of ones own soul.

Cleansing of ones own soul:

When life is going happily , successfully and healthily we will never think of ‘atonement’.

To fulfil our desires and wants we might have used so many ‘tools’. All we wanted was ‘end result’. In the process of acquiring those goals we might have done so many ‘wrong’ things. If we done something negative we will get negative karma in our lives. It can affect in this birth or some other it’s inevitable. Those ‘wrong’  things might have done intentionally or un-intentionally but you have to have its effect. That’s the law of karma.

Sins are committed in three ways.

A) With our mind (Manasika): Think about doing bad deeds and done through mind.

B) With our words(Vachika): Hurting others with harsh words , telling lies.

C) With our body (Kayika): Physical violence


When you want to purify your soul the advantages include:

a) Atonement can help you to become mature , you will learn from your own behaviour.
b) If you start amending your mistakes you can forgive yourself and others.
c) You will have peaceful life.
d) You can learn ‘responsible’ for something.
e) You can feel free from sins.

Ways to purifying or cleansing your soul:

1) Repentance:  Among all cleansing ways repentance or sincere regret is the best and the greatest.Holeheartedly feel sorry about your ‘wrong’ things it will relieve you from your guilt.

2) Acceptance of your mistakes: If you do something wrong knowingly or un-knowingly accept it and take responsibility.

3) Yogic breath (Pranayama): Practice pranayama in the early morning hours.

4) Austerity (Tapas): Connect your soul with supreme power. For doing this you no need to go to the forest. Create a peaceful of mind and do it wherever you are.

5) Sacrifice into fire (Homa): If you do direct ‘Homa’ for your well being is good. Alternative is lit a lamp (Deepa) in your home itself and pray to almighty.

6) Vedic mantra (Japa): If you got the mantra from your teacher (Guru) recite it.If you don’t have the mantra praise the Lord (Nama sankeertana).

7) Give charity or gifts (Dana) : Give it to whom ? Charity to the needy and gift (Dana) to the qualified soul.

While giving never think how great you are and how ‘big’ you are offering. Give it with kind and humble nature. This should not tell everyone as an advertisement.

If you don’t have something to give it others do service or give gifts (Dana) with your mind (Manasika).

8) Do fasting (Upavasa) : Fasting means not only without eating but to be ‘nearer with Him’.

9) Go on pilgrimage (Teertha yatra): Visit holy and spiritual places.

My dear reader , while observing the above do it sincerely .You are responsible to your conscience only.

“ O  Varuna , whatever the offence may be which we as men commit against the heavenly host , when through our want of thought we violate your laws , punish us not , O God for that iniquity.”
-Rig Veda.

 

How do i know 'what i want'.

How do I know ‘what I want’

We all live with full of wants and desires.Our want itself a motivational factor. Some times we get confusion and want to have some insights to know ‘what we want’.
Yourself can find this. Let’s see how.
Un-happiness is common in human life. When we get this..
a) when we have failures.

Before anticipating something you should ‘validate’ your wants or desires. If it’s not reliable or achievable better to drop it before it brings sadness in your peaceful life.
