Broader Outlines and Views for the Day to Day Living
Swami
Vivekanandaji’s Quote
:
“Three
things are necessary to make every man great, every Nation Great:
1. Conviction of the powers of
goodness,
2. Absence of Jealousy and
Suspicion,
3. Helping all who are trying to
be and do good,
The
great secret is absence of Jealousy; be always ready to concede to the opinions
of your Brethren and try always to conciliate.”
He
deeply felt for the upliftment of his Countrymen. He wrote several inspiring
letters to his brother Disciples and Friends. His letter to the Maharaja of
Mysore reads in part :
“My Noble Prince, this life is short; the vanities of the World are transient;
but they alone live who live for others, the rest are more dead than alive.”
1. Be Truthful and cultivate the habit of being
Truthful; maintain and present as you are in words and deeds.
2. Pious living, fair and just attitude, having
awareness for honest earnings are the core essentials to evolve spiritually.
3. Be plain and simple in thoughts and living,
in thoughts means to be in Smaran of The Lord – The Divine, to achieve this in
living avoid ostentatious spending and spending has to be need based, as well as
avoid exhibition-al attitudes of wealth, status and any expressive or exhibit able things which may cause oppression on other’s mind and living and
disturb the harmony and relationship.
4. Be kind and courteous. Be not be revengeful
cultivate the habit of forget and forgiveness. It works as a safety measure to
protect one’s self from the hurt or injury inflicted upon others unknowingly,
unwillingly and unnoticed, meted out through the words and deeds.
5. Be cautious not to hurt anybody’s heart or
feelings while interacting. To achieve this, cultivate the habit of restraint
in thought & deed. To achieve this, develop the awareness of the presence
of the Lord.
6. Cultivate the habit of being happy and
content in all circumstances.
7. Jealousy is the Cancer; Hatredness and
Oppressive attitude are decomposition and diseased states. Be away from them.
8. A special and important note for the woman /
Housewife is to begin her household chores of upbringing the children; taking
care of Husband, Elders and other family members; preparing needed food for the household and doing other
household works, is to attend to them with love and care as a Trustee of the
Trust of the Lord with constant awareness of duty and service only, feeling
presence of the Divinity shall cure number of diseases unknowingly and unnoticed of physical, mental psychic and spiritual; and restores good health
in all the planes and create conducive and congenial atmosphere for the family,
if the food is cooked and served in the
remembrance of Him and conduct is this way with a mere awareness of the Divine.
9. Attitudes have to be cultivated of the spouse
to each other and towards the rest of the family members – including the Elders
– is to be conducive and congenial with love as main ingredient,
care as a soothing bond, with due respect
and regard, maintaining the same purpose and goal of life, which is
‘Complete Oneness with God – The Ultimate.’
10. Children are the flowers of the Garden of God . Tender Touch and Care is essential
in shaping them, in whom you can experience the vibrancy of the Divine with ‘
the uninhibited state ’ which state you are going to acquire as the Final State
at the end of the practice of Meditation after achieving the Goal; this is the
result – Child like State – complete innocence and perfect ignorance, a visible
parallel of the Ultimate State.
11. Under the hierarchical systems presented in
the world, an individual tend to pass through these systems, need to be
cautious and harmonious presentation of himself be presented in himself while
passing through the systems, so as to produce peace and harmony – to be practised. For example: the family hierarchy, social hierarchy, work place hierarchy and state hierarchy
etc,.
12. If unable to overcome the particular nature
or trait of unbecoming, unconducive and uncongenial (of an individual), if
persists; then offer the Prayer to the Lord at Bed Time for some time for
redeeming or till you get relieved of it.
13. In order to rid off the complaining nature,
blaming nature and fault finding nature against one and all – including God;
realize the good things what you had been given by the Lord to you, first.
14.
The best time management, men management and situation management as well as
energy management - becomes yours – ‘ with just a willingness to have it.’
15. All this can be yours as a ‘ Gift or Grant by
the Lord ’ to you and to your family, if
only you take a little interest to learn and do properly – the Meditation, The
Affirmation and The Prayer, with Comprehension. The results are automatic,
rather they are bygone conclusions; so, with faith and conviction you begin and
move on … … …
Laurels You Win !
16. “ Be and Make ” that should be the attitude
to be developed in living.
17. NOTE : All the above mentioned and following
expressions, views, outlines, guidelines and suggestions are in relation to the
‘ Goal of Life,’ i.e. “Complete Oneness with The God – Ultimate.” They have to
be read and understand in that context only and have the comprehension that
