SARASWATI & LAKSHAMI

 

A father who throughout life followed the principle " Learning is greater than wealth". Wealth when follows learning gives more pleasure than when it is master of man.

Our great father of Nation, Mahatma Gandhi says: Wealth is lost, nothing is lost;

Health is lost something is lost.

Character is lost, everything is lost.

Son was young, full of energy. He was college-going. Everyday he argued with father that car, smart phone and costly gadgets are bought with money and hence money is greater than learning.

Father was aged, experienced and seasoned.

He was always in the look out of an opportunity to prove that "learning is master of wealth"

But he could not prove this to his young son. Daily arguments and demand of money by the son had vitiated the congenial environment at home.

One day, father got a chance to prove his point.

Father's friend had bought a very costly diamond ring for his daughter-in-law.

Father asked the friend to lend him that ring for a while. Friend readily gave.

Now father, gave the studded case of the ring to the son and told that it has cost Rs._______________________ . But the son argued,
" Papa, who fool will pay such a fatty sum of money for this empty case?"

"Exactly my dear son, everybody pays for the diamond inside this case not for the case."

Case is the box in which the diamond ring is placed.

"In the same way, learning is diamond and wealth is the case."

Son, though did not admit openly but agreed as was visible from his body language.

Right from that day, the son is focusing more on study and less on demands for costly gadgets.

WEALTH

Wealth does to you more harm than good.

“Just as the dust tarnishes even the brightness of a germ,

 wealth contaminates the virtues of the wise.”

ORNAMENT, SECURITY AND TONIC

The best ornament is humility,

The richest wealth is wisdom:

The best security is faith;

The best tonic is laughter.

HAVE HEALTH, WEALTH AND HAPPINESS

Dear Friend,

He, who has health, has hope. And he, who has hope, has everything. Every human being is the author of his own health or disease. It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver. Health is a state of complete physical, mental and emotional well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. So, if a person is not healthy, then he or she will find it very difficult to enjoy life. A lot many people spoil their health for gaining wealth, and then have to spend their wealth to regain their health.

Good health is the consequence of good energy levels. Energy has three pre-dominant levels a) Physical b) Mental and c) Emotional. Physical energy can be gained by eating a balanced diet and exercising regularly. A balanced nutritious dies must contain carbohyderate, protien, fat, vitamins, mineral salts and fibre. It must contain these things in correct proportions. Next to the chart comes regular exercise. Proper exercise benefits every part of the body including the mind. Walking, deep-breathing and meditation are three very productive exercises for your well-being.

Mental energy comes from three significat sources a) Thinking b) Reasoning and c) Solving of Problems. You must develop honest and good thoughts. A good thinker is an asset to the society. And learn to take complete control of your thoughts and mental processes. To gain mental strength and vitality, cultivate the quality of reasoning well and with conviction. As long as there is life, there will be problems. The art lies in your approach to problems. Do not make hotchpotch of all the issues. Solve problems one by one at a time. Similarly make plansin such a way that you can execute them on a daily basis. Remember, to prioritise your time and do the most important things first.

The third type is emotional energy coming from enthusiasm, motivation and resilience. Emotional energy is the master of all energies. Emotions can be a useful and powerful tool to handle different situations in life. This energy depends on how much zeal, drive and toughness you have. Enthusiasm comes from optimism. Optimism is a magnet. It attracts people and prosperity to you. Positive thoughts are powerful constructive thoughts. They give energy to both mind and body. If we have positive thoughts it is sure that we will succeed. They make us more joyful and happy. Using them on all occasions will make us live a better life than ever and help us to build a better social, cultural and work relationship. All is Well is not just catch-phrase popularised by the movie 3 Idiots but a generator of positivism. These three magical words will not heal our sores or soothe our sorrows, but the essence within them will provide us the courage to do so.

The next component, motivation, results from our passion and commitment. Passion is an attitude and can be developed. Vhoose the career that is perfect for you, one that inspires you and leads you to perform better, work harder, live more happily. Such a career will make you passionate about your work. If you are passionate, you will inevitably be committed to your task at hand.
Motivation is a combination of will power, goals, ability to continue attaining the highest level of success.
Last but not least, you need to develop resilience. Resilience is the flexibility in response to changing situational demands, and the ability to bounce back from negative emotional experiences. Resilient individuals experience positive emotions even in the midst of stressful events, which explains their ability to rebound successfully despite diversity.
To wish you to be well is a part of becoming well. A man too busy to take care of his health is like a mechanic too busy to take care of his tools. Health is first muse, it gives us the required motivation and energy to work. In health, there is freedom. Health is the first of all liberties. It is the greatest possession a person can accumulate.
Helping you to gain healh, wealth and happiness.

WEALTH

Wealth can never command respect.

“Never respect men merely for riches,
But rather for their philanthropy.

We do not value the sun for its height
But for its use.”

मेरी बौद्ध यात्रा

ज्ञान जीवन है, अज्ञानता अभिशाप !

मैं लगातार ज्ञान प्राप्त कर सफल होने का उदाहरण हूं,
जहां मैं कल कमजोर था, वहां मैं आज समक्ष हूं,
जहां मैं संदेह से घिरा था, वहां मैं आज सुनिश्चित हूं
आओ दोस्तों ! यही समय है ! मेरे अनुभवों से सीखने का।

v शिक्षा का अर्थ मात्र नौकरी पाना या धन कमाना ही है, बल्कि सम्पूर्ण व्यक्तित्व का विकास करना है।
v शिक्षा द्वारा चरित्र का निर्माण होता है, मस्तिष्क की शक्ति बढ़ती है, बुद्धि का विकास होता है और मनुष्य अपने पैरों पर खड़ा हो सकता है।
: स्वामी विवेका नंद जी
v धन वह इक्कठा करो जो तुम्हारी रक्षा करे ।
न कि वह जिस की रक्षा तुम्हें करनी पड़ ।
