ONLY GOOD AND NO PLEASANT OR BOTH? #WRITEAPAGEADAY

A man decided to ever remember
‘To do only good’
Never allow the ugly take over him..

In no time, he found he forgot the message when ugly took over him..

• He decided to memorize it daily morning and remember it better..

Again he found he forgot the message when ugly took over him..

• He shifted that memorizing to morning, afternoon and evening..

Once again he found he forgot the message when ugly took over him..

• Without back tracking, he started doing that on hourly basis..

No go, again he found he forgot the message when ugly took over him..

• Subsequently, he started doing that on half hourly basis..

No chance, he found he forgot the message when ugly took over him..

• At the end, he thought of remembering that precept every qtr hr..

Nothing great happened and he again found he forgot the message between such short intervals too when ugly took over him..

Totally disgusted with his fall, on one of the days, he visited a Great man in an Ashram, bowed to Him, narrated what was happening in him and asked thus,

“Master! If such a stringent discipline in me too fails like this, what's the use of reading Scriptures and Books on Spirituality and keep them as our reference?"

The Master smiled and said,

“My dear! The inner personality which propels one to act in life is not a small force. It will overtake in no time whatever discipline we impose on it..

But no despair, we have to tame this entity and use the energy behind the same in another way for our own elevation and betterment..

The only way in front of an individual here is to be disciplined in respect of not only memory but

Of talk and of deed too.. Meaning.. I as much try to

• Remember good,
• Talk good,
• Do good and

Make that a habit in my life
Or
Feel that ‘That alone is my life!’

Simultaneously, all the while remember and try to distinguish between
‘Good’ and
‘Pleasant
In memorizing, talking and doing!’

Seen thus, I advise

Refrain as much from the
‘Pleasant’
Which invariably is a hurdle 

As many times
'Good'
Remains on paper and
'Pleasant' overtakes in no time..

If you are able to do this much, you sure have done what is required..

Rest will follow as the Grace of God is always to help such personalities..

And what you have missed, or missing all along your life and very much feasible for you, is right in front of you;

NO DESPAIR!”
