Suffering is due to a conflict between desire and unfavourable circumstances. The basis of happiness is not external material resources or circumstances but man’s attitude. – Source of this article is from the pages of Indian wisdom

Physical ailments are averted on account of exercising self-control over sense organs and maintaining regularity. With the awakening of the power of discrimination, one gets rid of worries, sorrows, fear, apprehension, attachment, loss etc., which are all created due to ignorance. On account of faith in God, the intellect remains unperturbed and the YOU remain care-free about his future. Other people are also benefited by YOUR virtues like service-mindedness, politeness, generosity, philanthropy, honesty, benevolence etc. and there is no apprehension of any harm being done to anybody by him.

The result is that out of gratitude for his unconditional service people become his admirers, friends and defenders. On account of this mutual goodwill, life becomes exceedingly blissful. Thus, with the increase in the element of righteousness in the physical as well as mental sphere a current of divine bliss overflows in YOU and YOU become always immersed in it.

Man being an integral part of Divinity, all divine powers are hidden in the human soul in seed form. These powers remain dormant under the debris of mental agitation, sensual perversions, defects and vices in the form of ignorance. People think that they are poor, miserable, insignificant and infirm, but YOU who can sweep away this debris from within them can have a glimpse of the pure light of the inner self. YOU know that the light of the Omnipotent Supreme Divine is present within their soul and they are its true inheritors. As soon as the ash covering live coal is removed, the red-hot flame of a blazing fire is revealed. This live coal, although small in size, has the potentiality of causing devastating conflagration. With the unveiling of this curtain, an insignificant man becomes a great man.

The human soul is a storehouse of supreme knowledge, wisdom and extraordinary powers. By their enfoldment, YOU become Yogi like. Nothing is required to be brought from neither outside nor does it require the grace of some god or demon to attain Intelligence.

What is needed is simply to remove the dense and dark covering which envelops the inner light. The sun of righteousness removes the clouds of ignorance and the resplendent divine light of the soul is manifested. This is instinct with all divine powers. The purification of the body and mind makes worldly life happy and peaceful.

With the growth of prudence and spiritual power several difficulties which appear to others to be daunting like a steep mountain top become as simple and light as a straw. The YOU find no insurmountable hindrance in the accomplishment of any work. Either circumstance change according to YOUR will or YOU adjust and change YOUR desires to the circumstances.

Suffering is due to the conflict between desire and unfavourable circumstances. The basis of happiness is not external material resources or circumstances but man’s attitude. A man whom once even rich delicious dishes and thick silken cushions and pillows did not satisfy considers plain ground in the forest to be an ideal bed and edible roots and wild fruits as best food, when, under the advice and guidance of an illumined person, he tames his wayward mind and takes avow of leading an austere life.
