Wealth of Wisdom - Day 2

                                                           Week 2 - Day

 Bhartruhari was once sitting in a cave in the jungle. There was a diamond in the cave. A horse rider was going that way and he saw the diamond. He thought, ‘"If it was a diamond, it should be very costly and I could have many things I desire. He stepped down to pick up the diamond and another horse rider came that way and saw the diamond. Both were Rajputs and so took out the sword to fight for the diamond. Bhartruhari was seeing this scene and thought that even he was a King once upon a time, but left all the riches and came to the jungle. Bhartruhari saw that both Rajputs were fighting for the diamond and both cut off each other’s head. The diamond was there and both left the world.

" Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are"

We know what our center of life should be. Now we should know what is the character of our life. First let us understand the definition of character. In education field, character is when the student does not copy in the exams. In the same way in different fields, there is a different definition of character. In business life, definition of character is that we should not lie. In business field there are three things that we require  - 

Bypass, Speed breaker and Break.

    1.Bypass:  In business life, we need bypass. Bypass means no violence in business life and have no hatred feeling towards anyone. Water’s character is to flow but when stored in the freezer it becomes solid. Anger in business life is alright. The feeling of anger comes and goes off. But if we store the anger in our heart it turns into a hatred feeling. Are we ready not to have jealous or hatred feeling towards the person who has to return us our money from the past few years?  Are we ready not to have hatred feeling towards the one who is doing better than us in business? Are we ready not to bring them down in any way? This is the character in business life bypass. Jealousy brings hatred and hatred brings violence. 

Love sees sharply, hatred sees even more sharp, but Jealousy sees the sharpest for it is love and hate at the same time”

Jealousy, Hatred, Violence are three things we should never have in business life. Are we ready not to be jealous against our own brother if he is doing better in business than us? What is our mentality? It is like covering a rotten wood with sun mike. Where are we in the field of wealth of wisdom? 

"Jealousy is a vessel filled with acid. The vessel filled with it will definitely burn"

Likewise, the person towards whom we have a jealous feeling might not be affected, but we will definitely burn in the desire of jealousy. Our love, friendship, peace, satisfaction will all burn in the desire of jealousy. 

If we would like to have peace in life, we have to learn to be happy with what we have. 

                          "If you don't have what you like, like what you have"

FD      2. Break: We have to apply break in our life where we see that our health, happiness and family are at risk. We have to stop when we know that our health is at risk, inner happiness is ending, and love towards our family is not there anymore. 

OnA 32 year old man was sitting near Gurudev. A politician had come to meet Gurudev. Gurudev then sent the man to the politician to collect some documents. The politician then offered the man Rs 2 Crores per year if he would work with him. The man then asked the politician," If I agree to work with you, would my happiness remain steady, would I be able to eat my food on time, would I be able to get the good sleep that I get now and would I be able to spend time with my family". The politician said he cannot guarantee all of this as he has to work day and night. The boy then disagreed to work with the politician. He left the huge amount of money for his inner peace and family. Are we ready to apply such breaks in our life too? What is the logic of running behind money all the time? Inner Peace, love and good health is the real happiness in life. 


3.        3. Speed Breaker: We say that we are running behind money for our family. But did we ever ask our family if they would want to be with us in the next birth also? There will be one time where there will be no point of return. What have we achieved in life? A speed breaker is there to lessen the speed of the vehicle. Similarly in life, we have to put a speed breaker in life when we feel that we don't have time to do good things. We have to reduce the speed with which we are running behind money and have no time for ourselves. We have to take out time to talk to our loved ones. It is important that people love us more than know us. 


                                                   "Anything in excess is poison"

        If we apply these three things in life, we can improve our life vastly. Where money has become top priority, relationships have definitely ended.
