Today, keeping life happy in the changing social environment is a challenging task. For a better life, it is necessary that our decisions be wise. This discriminating vision keeps one aware of the selection and collection of appropriate and inappropriate. By assessing things on the basis of excess and unnecessary, we can avoid many problems in life. Accumulation of unnecessary things makes a person financially weak.
Today there is a TV in every house. , freeze, car. Mobile can be seen in every hand. It seems that we cannot live life without them. This is all a game of see-saw. The truth is that one has to spend very little money to be happy. But it costs the most money to show others how happy I am. As facilities are increasing, avenues of suffering are also opening up. EMI it seems very easy to buy goods and pay through credit card, but when a person spreads his legs outside the bedsheet, he himself chooses the path of unhappiness knowingly or unknowingly.
One should not consume more than necessary for a better life. There is no meaning in life in this. It is appropriate from the social point of view to live according to the environment, but it is not appropriate at any cost to cause mental and financial loss in this competition. If we go to any house and see, is it really necessary to have so much storage? Children, teenagers, youth, and old people, everyone has a pile of shoes, slippers, and clothes. Among them, even the person himself is not able to understand which clothes to wear and which not to wear on a particular occasion. In this dilemma, he wastes both his mind and time.
This form of life can become an obstacle in the path of self-improvement. Once a merchant opened a showroom and called his old acquaintance at the inauguration and asked him to take any of these items that he needed. The old man smiled and said that out of all the things here, not a single one is useful in my life. I wonder why man wants to challenge nature by using these things. Many varieties of items used in daily life are available in the markets today.
Why do we find their use so important? Have we ever thought that our work can go on without them also? In fact, a person spends money and buys himself things to feel sad. He remains upset and sad twenty times in ten minutes. One longs for something that is not there and continuously tries to get it somehow. After two days, a desire for something else arises in his mind. Today our lifestyle has become such that we are running away from real satisfaction.
Under the increasing dominance of materialism, a person is unable to think about anything else. Material facilities make a person appear prosperous in the social environment but his spiritual development does not depend on it. Facilities are the pleasure of the body and satisfaction of the intellect. The mind is not satisfied with this, but because the mind is fickle, it gets attracted to more and more facilities. So much unnecessary has been added to life that there is no space left for the essential. Ambition is increasing at a fast pace. Every position, every salary is getting smaller.
Among the four parts of spirituality - body, mind, intellect, and soul, soul, and mind are no longer a subject of contemplation today. If we want to live a satisfied and happy life, then along with the body and intellect, we will also have to establish a balance between the mind and soul. Satisfaction is experienced on the level of mind, it is the mind that experiences joy. Respect, sense of security, trust, etc. are the basic elements of satisfaction. So love, sweetness, compassion, etc. are created due to satisfaction of mind. A satisfied person never becomes sad, never gets distracted, never gets angry.
He earns his living with ease. He does not feel the need to enter into any competition. There is no feeling of jealousy in him. He considers his life as the best and remains engaged in his work with faith. The secret of a happy and satisfied life is that we should be prudent, and avoid wasteful expenditure and unnecessary accumulation. Live a moderate life, and spend only as much as is necessary.
