THE THREE BOOKS OF MY LIFE!
On one of those gloomy days, as I was casually going thru' few religious books, I came across Sloka 35, Chapter III from Srimad Bhagavad Gita which instantly boosted an indirect strength in me confirming that..
'Shreyan swadharmo vigunah paradharmaat swanusshthitaat
Swadharme nidhanam shreyah paradharmo bhayaavahah.'
'Ever safe is one’s own duty than the duty of another even well discharged. Better is even death in one’s own duty than the duty of another full of fear!'
Soon motivated by that Message, I decided to go ahead in my life in that path and further started reading thru' the Great Book..
Thus the Sacred Book Srimad Bhagavad Gita has become one book of my reference for a life time!
On one of those gloomy days, as I was casually going thru' few religious books, I came across Sloka 1 of Bhajagovindam which instantly boosted an indirect strength in me confirming that..
'Bhajagovidam bhajagovidam
govindam bhaja muudhamathe
samprapte sannihite kale
nahi nahi rakshati drukrun karane.'
'Worship Govinda! Worship Govinda! Worship Govinda (limiting yourself to the ordained duties).. When the end approaches, the Grammar Rules (the craving for materialistic gain and recognition) will not save you!'
Soon motivated by that Message, I decided to go ahead in my life in that path and further I started reading thru' the Great Book..
Thus the Sacred Book Bhajagovindam has become the second book of my reference which I want to read all my life!
On one of those gloomy days, as I was casually going thru' few religious books, I came across an advice given by the Great Philosopher to His disciples,
"To see the 'Great Strength' within, an attitude of calmness is required which comes up when part of the time in a day however small is allotted for that study with the 'Quality' of that time maintained by not being anxious, greedy or calculative..
If done so the turbulent mind
That 'Very Existing' indirectly is nothing but just claiming 'No Result' as much as possible and that alone is ultimately seeing/feeling the 'Great Strength' which drives out the all the weakness!"
Thus the 'Open Book' with me Viz., my mind has become the third book of my reference which I want to read all my life!

On one of those gloomy days, as I was casually going thru' few religious books, I came across an advice given by the Great Philosopher to His disciples,
- "I can never teach you anything except that we together
- Read our own 'Open Books' called the minds separately ourselves,
- Understand the content solely by ourselves and
- Plan our own strategies for our betterment!"
"To see the 'Great Strength' within, an attitude of calmness is required which comes up when part of the time in a day however small is allotted for that study with the 'Quality' of that time maintained by not being anxious, greedy or calculative..
If done so the turbulent mind
- Initially tries to educate in its own line..
- Then tries to lure there..
- Further gets into a bargain..
- Finally terrorizes beyond..
- 'Vicious' thoughts with the 'Pious' ones..
- Thought of 'Self Pity' with that of 'I'm not less..'
- Thought, 'I'm loosing' with 'It's OK.. The loss isn't to that level that makes me collapsed!'
- Thought, ‘There are burning problems.. What are you doing here?’ with ‘Only a few minutes.. I'm coming back!’
- Everything is OK..
- Nothing is going wrong..
- Only small times are spent this way..
- This'll not affect the general living
That 'Very Existing' indirectly is nothing but just claiming 'No Result' as much as possible and that alone is ultimately seeing/feeling the 'Great Strength' which drives out the all the weakness!"
