My Thoughts, Observations and Readings

  My nephew was worrying about his daughter, that she doesn’t remember her class work(she is in her 9th standard) and her memory is very limited.  She is putting on good efforts to read and almost more than 90% of the time that she is awake she spends only on studying. Even then she scores only average marks and she forgets some answers that she has to tell in the class leading to self-pity. My students, while counseling them,  I can understand that there are a few who really have difficulty remembering. They put in sincere efforts in studying but are unable to answer in the examination.  Even certain important things we forget, right? I kept some items we had bought for Niranjana for her wedding and kept them in a very safe place but for the past two days I have been searching for them. I do not remember that safe place now!

  Having said all three, Right understanding, Relationship and Physical facilities are required for our happiness and prosperity, a question arises now. Are we working towards all three or just running behind in accumulating the physical facilities?

(Hint for preparing: the time spent on your work which gives you some returns can be taken for ‘Physical Facilities’, the time you spent with your friends/ relatives/ colleagues/ others can be taken for ‘Relationship’, the time spent ...

It’s not just living happily, I want to live with continuous happiness! Is it the same for you also?  Yes, right? I want to live with happiness in its continuity, you also want to live with continuous happiness. For that matter, every human being wants to live with continuous happiness 👍🏻 Do you accept this? You can check with anyone, ask whether he/she wants to live with continuity of happiness and see if anybody negates this. Now, tell me, what are all the things that you need to live? You need food, you need a house, you need clothes, a vehicle, a mobile phone, etc. For living, we need the physical facilities, food, a house, dresses, a vehicle, etc. for basically nurturing our body, protecting our body, and the right utilization of the body. Can you see this? Now, a question arises. All these are required for our living,...
