pious and justified actions r till v don't cross our limits and pry on others independence.............or their territory................see every human knows his limits and tries to protect himself ,his ppl and everything related to him...........however weak he is....atleast he tries...........

take a simple example.............dunno if u ever travelled by bus, train.........so if ur sitting standing and somebody comes and sits,stands next to u..it is obvious that v as a lady will shift a little to maintain a distance ..........now if that person goes on coming nearer to u...however back u r pushed........wat will u do......u have no choice other than telling him to back off...if he enters in my territory i have to tell him back off.................politely first......and if req............louder.............

Haila! My favorite topic.👏
Happiness is our true nature and needs no reason.. Happiness is a choice.
Unless we are happy with ourselves first, we will not be happy with what we do, what we have, where we are and who we are with. The more we accept it ,the more joyful our experiences.

Core things needed for a happy life starts with self-love, acceptance of self and others, faith, service, living in truth and honesty. When we feel whole and happy we forget to judge others for we don't judge ourselves.

The only way to get to happiness is to be happy already (Krishna's motto in life😆😆😆 humo hamesha kush hain, kyun pareshaan karthi ho? Sab teek hai)

Note to Prats: If your current plan for happiness doesn't put love first (Baba does), don't think for a second that you'll be truly happy.

Some of my favorite quotes:

Wisdom is the power of maximizing the enjoyment of the present moment.(Baba's chat about the saat janam, saat rang, etc at the Adda).

Happiness requires no sacrifice, only acceptance.

When you forget who you are, you forget what happiness is.(Baba always says Hum Takur hain, Takur)😉

Joy is your spiritual DNA.(Baba says; humo kush, woh kush, sab kush)

If someone is in your life, it is because you have a gift for each other.(Baba and Prats have a gift for each other)

I personally reflect constantly and am fascinated by what I learn each time. 😃😆

Jeanette Winterson said "what you risk reveals what you value most". Education is supposed to expose us to the bigger picture while we go deep within to get the answers. The best books are those written to reveal answers to probing questions whatever the field.👏


Loved it , Mera.... it is a simultaneous outward and inward journey ..wow !!

but we have forgotten to be happy with ourself , nowadays kids are urged to be aggressive,competitive and the fatality is ur inner happiness..

Formal education in schools conditions our thinking that one must play by society's rules. Etiquette in one society is not always recognized or appreciated in others. Take for example using fingers to eat. In Eastern culture it's normal and acceptable. In western culture utensils are the acceptable way of eating except in case of finger food and pizza, sandwich, etc. So who gets to decide what is right and wrong? I always question society's definition of "NORMAL" and "RIGHT". It's all in the perception. What is normal to some people based on their personality, culture, environment,etc. is not normal to others. Receiving a certificate after spending four years with like minded people who believe getting a college education doesn't automatically make someone more knowledgable or wise to the world. Our life's experiences shapes our personalities which is constantly evolving. True knowledge begets humility. Acceptance differences are equally important as accepting commonality, for opposite do sometimes attract and reveal to us what we need to learn to grow.. 👏
👏

and yet we feel embarrassed to follow our heart and adopt/ adapt to that culture, even if it is alien to us...!!why don't we uphold our culture...is it because we fear being ridiculed??

well ur right these ppl have become cowards we have seen this 4m shamji so many times he behaves like beegi billi and saem is the case with nainajii

if this education has made them so cowards then i think ss and family are better and they have said this so many times.

May be becos..educated ppl are very self conscious ....and think they know everything....while uneducated are like kids, inquisitive, curious and lacking self conscious....
