Do Good Feel Good


One old lady was in her home when the doorbell rang. When she opened the door, she discovered a five-year-old girl at her doorstep, with a beaming smile on her face. “My child, what do you want?” asked the lady. “Auntie!” replied the little girl, “We are building a 30 crore rupee hospital in this locality, and I’m selling pencils to collect for it. Will you purchase these pencils from me for one rupee each?” The lady smiled, “Selling one rupee pencils, you wish to build a hospital for 30 crore rupees?” The girl said, “No, Auntie! I’m not in it alone. See the boy on the other side of the street? He is also selling pencils. We are doing it together.”
Isn’t it a moving story? This little girl was finding such happiness and satisfaction in doing something worthwhile and meaningful.
All of us have the urge to do productive, meaningful work. There was a lumberjack who used to slog it out in the hot sun, cutting trees to earn his living. A psychologist conducted an experiment. He went up to the lumberjack and said, “I’m offering you a job at twice the salary on my lumberjack farm.” The psychologist explained to him the nature of his duty. He was to take the axe and keep on hitting a particular tree with it, but he was not to hit it with the front sharp edge. Rather, with the round back side. He asked the psychologist, “The tree will never get cut if I do this.” The psychologist said, “Never mind, I’m paying you for it. Why should it matter to you?” The lumberjack said, “All right then!” He started off hitting that tree repeatedly with the round backside of the head of the axe. After three days he brought the axe to the psychologist and said, “Sir, here is your axe. I resign.” The psychologist said, “I was offering you twice the pay. Why was it not enough?” The lumberjack said, “Sir, I need to see the chips flying. Merely hitting it like this has no meaning for me.”
In the same way, we all wish to see the chips flying. We wish to see our efforts creating a difference in some way or the other in this world. Of course, we are all blessed with different talents. That is the nature of this world. No two leaves of a tree are alike. Similarly, no two human beings have the same exact biometrics. And our temperaments and talents are quite varied as well. Make it your endeavour to manifest the talents and abilities that lie within you. Don’t die with the music still in you.
We know Michelangelo, the great sculptor. He created 11 masterpieces. However, he started work on 44, and the ones that remained incomplete, they present a sorry sight. So, let us not die with the music still in us. God has blessed us with our own individual unique talents and skills. Let us utilise them and exert ourselves to put them to good use. When we start doing any work, we try to be the best we can. We then realise that by being good and by doing good, we naturally start feeling good. That is the secret of happiness.
So, think about what are the special talents and skills that you possess. And how you could utilise them in the best way possible by enhancing the quality of your work, or the contribution you do to the others or the service you offer to God. And we will progress from there tomorrow.

Necessity of Self-control and Will Power in Human Life

Walter Mischel 

It is said good ideas are a dime a dozen. But they are not worth a broken nickel until you implement them. We may have the knowledge of all the libraries of the world in our hand. But if we don’t utilise it, that knowledge really no help to us. So, the gap between knowledge and its implementation is bridged by one word called ‘discipline’.
In the 1950s, a researcher in Stanford called Walter Mischel did an experiment to study the self-control of four-year-old toddlers. His experiment was ingenious. He would leave the child in a room by itself with a sweet in front. Having told the child, “If you like, you can enjoy this sweet, but if you hold on for 20 minutes, I will come back, take this away and give you two sweets instead.” For some of them it was a no-brainer. There is a sweet, it is the source of pleasure, there is nothing to think about, eat it. Some children held on for two minutes, but then succumbed and ate it. Some children held on for seven to eight minutes. And some children continued holding on for the full 20 minutes and were rewarded with two sweets.
Many years later, the study was continued to find out how the children had been performing in life. Some very interesting facts came out. It was discovered that the children with maximum self-control, they were excelling in studies as well. They had better physique, they were not plump, they were better at interpersonal relationships because they could control their emotions and their moods. They were having a less disrupted marriages or lost jobs, and practically no criminal conviction.
On the other hand, the children who were at the lowest end of the spectrum, without self-control, had been getting into all kinds of problems. They were dropping out of their college, they were losing jobs, they were having broken marriages, and many of them had repeatedly visited the prison as well.
This led to the interesting observation that one important factor that correlates to success in every field of human endeavour is self-control, discipline based on the virtue of willpower.
Social researchers further analysed this and they discovered that proficiency in any field of human activity is directly correlated to two virtues of the personality—(i) intellect and (ii) willpower. Intellect is somewhat innate, there is no such one can do to expand it. But willpower is something that is very much in our hands. And this is also the attribute that is maximum tested in modern times. Because our ancestors, a few centuries ago, didn’t have as many willpower tests as we do. Today, you may be working in your office on the dreary task of preparing the memo for your boss, but at the mere click of a mouse, you can take your mind away to surf the internet. So, in the days of social media, internet, video games and television channels, the challenges to willpower have multiplied greatly.
Now, as grown-ups what can we do to enhance our willpower? Fortunately for us, willpower too grows with exercise, like the muscles do. For example, if you engage in typing, the portions of the brain required for typing keep on adding the grey matter. Similarly, this willpower comes from the prefrontal cortex of the brain, and the more you exercise it, the more it develops. Thus, willpower too can be enhanced with exercise, and the best exercise for enhancement of our self-control is meditation. Meditation entails avoiding distracting thoughts though they may be pleasurable, keeping our focus on the object of meditation, though it may be painful.
Studies have revealed that in a three-hour meditation session the functioning of the brain changes and in 11 hours of meditation the brain activity transforms completely. So, utilise this tool and grow in your self-control and willpower to increase your proficiency in all fields of human activity.
If you are not already meditating, let today be the day when you launch yourself on this wonderful journey.

Power of Inspiration and Enthusiasm

Soichiro Honda
Don’t count your life in the number of breaths that you breed. Count it in the number of moments that took your breath away. How does such spectacular and rich moments come to our life? They happen by this ingredient called ‘inspiration’. Inspiration is the fuel that burns within us, that powers us to bring our best talents and abilities to bear upon the work at hand.
One schoolboy during his summer break applied to the nearby mall for a job. He was invited for the interview. But on reaching there, he discovered that he was the 21st kid in the line, However, he was motivated to get the job. So, he scribbled a note and placed it before the receptionist. He said, “Ma’am, can you please give it to your manager sitting inside?” The manager read what the child had written and decided he is the one who deserves this job. The child had written, “Sir, I am the 21st kid in the line. Decide nothing until you see me.” In those words, the child had expressed his enthusiasm.
Enthusiasm or inspiration is that inner ingredient that brings out the best in us. When we are equipped with this virtue of motivation, we become practically unstoppable as was Mr. Soichiro Honda, the founder of the worldwide Honda automobile empire. Mr. Honda was not born with the proverbial golden spoon in his mouth. Rather, he came from a lower middle class family. When Mr. Honda was in the engineering school, he created a new design for piston rings and suggested it to the Toyota Corporation. They placed an order with him and extended the capital for him to set up his plant. However, when his factory was constructed, an earthquake in Japan levelled it to the ground. Mr. Honda was not discouraged. He decided to remake it. But by then Japan had entered the world war-II and cement was diverted for the war endeavour. Mr. Honda’s enthusiasm made him come up with a new technique for making cement. With the help of which he remade his factory. However, by then America had also entered the world war and their bombers bombed his factory. Mr. Honda was still not discouraged. He utilised the gasoline tanks thrown by the bumble planes to reconstruct the factory once again. When the production was ready to begin, Japan lost the world war and along with it all its colonies. Fuel was now in short supply. People didn’t have the fuel to drive their cars. There was the question of Toyota purchasing his piston rings.
Mr. Honda was driving his bicycle when he had a brainwave. He added a motor to it. When he drove it around the neighbourhood and his neighbours were fascinated and requested him to do the same for them. When he did it for 16 or 20 people, he realised that he had a marketable idea there. But he didn’t have the money. So, he procured a list of 8,000 bicycle stockists of Japan and personally hand wrote notes to 5,000 of them. 1,800 extended the captain. With the help of which he made his first motorcycle called ‘The Super Cup’. With the help of which he started manufacturing his motorcycles. In his lifetime, the Honda Corporation employed a hundred thousand people worldwide and today it has gone way beyond that quality of inspiration was so vital to Mr. Soichiro Honda’s success in his work.
That is why the philosopher Henry David Thoreau said, “You may lose everything in your life but your enthusiasm and you will gain it all back again. But that person who has lost his inspiration now he is truly bankrupt.”
So, today let us think of how we can inspire ourselves and how this added fuel of enthusiasm will help us improve the quality of our work and assist us in our endeavour to be better people.

Why Should We Never Underestimate Our Full Potential?


We all have this potential for infinite growth. What limits us? Our own thinking. Your own imagination. It can lift you up. Unfortunately, it’s a two edged sword which can also limit you.
An excerpt from Swami Mukundananda’s speech:
“Once an eagle got limited. The eagle’s egg was placed in the midst of prairie chicken. Prairie chicken are these birds that just cluck around on the ground, flying a few feet up. When the baby eagle hatched, it found itself in the midst of chicken. And monkey see, monkey do. What it saw, that’s what it was doing. It would also cluck around and flutter its wings a little bit. Although, it was destined to soar high in the skies, it was clucking around on the ground. One day, this baby eagle saw a giant bird gliding in the skies. It was thrilled, “Wow! What in the world is that?” The prairie chicken said that is an eagle. It’s the king of the birds. It can do that. You and I cannot do it. So, it continued to cluck around on the ground. What a terrible pity! It was born and destined to rule the skies, but it was conditioned to flutter around on the earth. This was the misutilisation of the imagination.
In the same way, when I say the law of infinite potential, don’t let your imagination cripple you. We tend to cripple ourselves. If we wish to soar like an eagle, we will have to learn to use our mind and our intellect in the way the eagle does. We will have to learn the ways of flying high and we will also have to unlearn the ways of the prairie chicken.”
God has not created us to live down in the dumps. He has created us so that one day, when we wake up to claim our divine inheritance, we will achieve the supreme perfection that he has planned for us.

Are Good Values and Ethics Enough for Successful Life?


Kans and Yogmaya
Ethics are principles that you believe in. Their convictions that you hold within yourself, these provide the guide posts and the journey of life. Whenever you have a situation in front of you where you have to choose between alternatives, your values help you to make the proper decisions. They also provide the support system in your journey of life. However, that is not enough. To have good values is not sufficient. There are people who have good values but they are always struggling to live by them. So, we must be able to implement our values in our lives. That is why the first step is to be very clear about our own values.
For example, as an exercise put down in writing. What is it? That is important to you in life. What are the principles that you wish to uphold and the ethics that you wish to pursue? Now, remember that these values will not necessarily remain the same in the journey of life.
Here I will share a story told by Swami Mukundananda.
“Recently while on my way to Rameswaram on the flight to Madurai, my co-passenger was a techie from Boston. He was going back home to meet his parents living in the very spiritual town of Madurai. And he started sharing his sentiments with me. He was saying that he was brought up in a very spiritual environment and he was very religious in his childhood. But then his life in Boston made him shade all his beliefs. And for so many years now he has got no belief in God.”
So, the values with which he grew up did not remain. The influence of our association impacts our values. Our scriptures inform us that Kans when the eighth child he came to kill and Yogmaya was there in his prison in front of Devaki and Vasudeva and he lifted her up in the air to smash her down she rose up in the sky and announced that how can you kill me the person who is going to kill you is already in Brindavan. At that time the Bhagbatam says that Kans repented tremendously. He said, “I have been so cruel I have killed your children like a demon. Please forgive me.” However, when he went back to his assembly of rakshasas Aghasura, Bakasura, Dhenukasura, they said, “What are young doing! He is the Bishnu and he will kill you.” And being influenced by their opinion, again he said, “All right, take Vasudeva and Devaki and put them back into the prison.” So, his values got affected by his company.           
When Bibhison left Lanka and came to Ram, Ram advised Bibhison. He said, “Oh Bibhison, it is better that the creator gives us residence in hell than he is giving us the association of an evil minded person because that evil minded person will influence us, will change our values. On the other hand, there is satsang (being with the truth) that helps us develop and nurture values.”
For example, the same scripture again tell us, “Association with saintly personalities helps us develop good values.” So, to have good values is one thing. To nurture them, to strengthen them, to implement them is a constant process, a constant struggle. This requires three things—hearing, listening, reading to good thoughts, to good knowledge and that is where the scriptures come in. You expose yourself to the wonderful knowledge of the scriptures and the knowledge of the guru (spiritual teacher) by listening and hearing to him. This is called ‘Shravanam’. And then what you have heard you contemplate over it repeatedly so that the knowledge sticks with you. Just knowing is not enough. To be able to leave by it, that knowledge should be strong in your mind.
There is a story in the Vedic scriptures. There was a king. He fell in love with a apsara (celestial nymph). So, the apsara said, “I am shaapit (cursed). The person who marries me, if he ever sees his reflection, he will turn into a frog.” The king said, “That is no problem at all. I am so powerful I will order that there should be no reflecting materials in my kingdom from today.” With that assurance he got married. They lived happily for some time. And then one day the king went for a hunt into the forest. He went here, he went there, he became thirsty. Now, the thirst finished the knowledge in his intellect. So, to take a drink of water, he stooped down to a lake and without realising it he saw his reflection and turned into a frog.
So, our scriptures say, “The moment human being forgets knowledge, that human being descends to the level of an animal.” So, to be able to live by those values, be must revise them consciously and continuously. This is the process of Chintan or Manan (deep thought). And finally there is a step of Nididhyasana or developing a firm belief in them. This belief, these values that we have don’t come by themselves. They are created by a conscious decision from our side. This is what we want. So, that constant decision has to be an exercise from our side. If that is strong and resolute, these values bring about a miracle in our lives.
We can take Mahatma Gandhi as an example. The value he decided to live by is Satya (truth) and Ahimsa (non-violence). And his belief in those values was so strong that no situation could bear him off those. And no matter how strong the provocation was from the British government at that time. He insisted that he will pursue the value of non-violence and that is why he is held in such high regard decades after him not only in India but around the world.
Similarly, you have the God realise saints who lived by that principle of love for God being the foremost value in their lives. The example of Mirabai and saint Prahlada etc. and that is what made their lives shine so radiantly throughout inspiring people throughout the world.
So, if we want our values to bring about that miracle in our lives, we must constantly endeavour to nourish them, to cultivate them and to re-inforce them by this conscious process of hearing, contemplating and then deciding with the intellect.

Five Golden Rules to Handle Problems



What is the best way to tackle problems that we face, and what should we do when problems seem to besiege us from all sides?
(1) Expect problems to happen:
If you have a job the only way you can justify the job is that you are solving the problems that are arising. So, expect problems. When parents have children, they assume that their children will grow up to be the most obedient, the most dedicated and loyal. When that doesn’t happen, they become surprised. Why did you have false expectations?
(2) Anticipate problems:
If you are going uphill, you naturally anticipate that the journey will be difficult. Similarly, if you take up a project, anticipate there will be problems that will arise. One child texted his mother from school, “Mommy, failed in algebra, prepare dad.” His mother texted back, “Dad is prepared, prepare yourself.” That is the anticipation of the problem.
(3) Face the problem:
Don’t cover your eyes and say the problem does not exist. There was a very famous commercial that appeared on American television many years ago of the elephant in the room. The TV commercial showed a normal American family with an elephant in the house. Everybody was going about their works as if the elephant did not exist. The problem was there but people were refusing to recognise it as such. Once you face the problem.
(4) Keep a proper perspective:
Think of people who have bigger problems. Some people say, “I am so upset.” When they are asked, “Why?” “Three days ago this person said that to me.” “My, my, my, is that the end of the world?” Think, if we were born a few decades ago and were participating in the world war-II what a problem we would have had to face. So, put the problem in its proper perspective.
One girl left home to go to college for the first time. She was living in the dormitory there and after three months she wrote her first letter to her mother. She said, “Mommy, I need to confess one month after I reached the dormitory I made a serious mistake. I stole $50 from my neighbour’s cupboard. With that I rented a motorcycle. Unfortunately, I had an accident. I drove into a lamppost and broke my thigh bone. But Mommy, there was nothing to worry because a handsome doctor down the lane took me into his house to nurse me. And Mommy, we have fallen in love. We have decided to get married and I need to inform you that in the process of nursing me my husband-to-be has lost his job. So, after marriage we both are going to come and stay with you and dad. I am sure you will enjoy his company even though he belongs to a different religious tradition.” Now, the mother reading this note her hair started standing on end. “Oh God! What has happened to my darling child?” However, the daughter concluded the letter “Really mommy, none of this is true. The only thing that has happened is that I have got an F in calculus. I wanted you to see it in the proper perspective.” So, put the problem in its place. It is not the end of the world.
(5) Learn from it:
To fall in the water is not a problem, but to remain there in the problem. Similarly, to face challenges and obstacles in life is alright provided we keep learning, and we keep growing. Once Swami Mukundananda was walking down the street, and he saw a neighbour with his ears swollen walking the other way. He asked him, “Champak bhai, what happened to you?” He said, “Swamiji, I was ironing my clothes and the mobile rang. Unfortunately, I picked up the iron and put it on my ear that’s how the ear got swollen.” Swamiji said, “Champak bhai, how come the other ear is also swollen?” He said, “Swamiji, that stupid person rang up once again.”
That is not what should happen. You made a mistake, learn and move ahead from it. When we do that, we realise that problems are really opportunities, and challenges that provide us the environment to grow from within.
