Source: Pexels Uddhav was in the service of Shri Krishna as a charioteer since childhood, but he neither expressed any desire nor asked anything from Shri Krishna. When Krishna completed his avatar era and was ready to go to Gaulok, he called Uddhav to himself and said: Dear Uddhav, many people have received something from me in this 'Avatar period', but you never asked for anything! Now ask for something, I want to give something to you   Uddhav did not ask for anything even after this. He only wanted to clear his doubts which were arising in his mind by seeing Krishna's teachings and his gratitude. This way it became a session which not only cleared the doubt’s of Uddhav but also it’s very helpful to clear all common doubts in our mind.   Uddhav’s question:  I could not understand many things in the events of Mahabharata! Your 'teachings' remained different, while 'personal life' looked somewhat different! Will you explain the reason to pacify my knowledge...

Image Source: Pexels While returning to home on the way, I saw a paper hanging on an electric pole. On the heading of the paper, it was written in the bold letter, “Please read this carefully”. I went to the electricity pole and started reading.  “On this road, I lost my 50 rupees yesterday. I am not able to see things properly. If anyone gets my fifty rupees, please send it to me on the following address.” After reading all this, a curiosity arose in my mind and the mind said me to reach the address and see this matter for a while. The address was in a nearby slum. I went to the slum and reached the address at the end of a narrow lane. In that address, I saw the existence of a semi-broken hut. As soon as I got there, an old woman came out slowly with a stick. I found that she was living alone. I said, "Grandmom, I've got your lost fifty rupees. So I came to give it to you.” The old woman began to cry when she heard me and told, “Fifty-sixty people had already paid me fifty ru...

Image Source: Pixabay Neither kill any animal nor be the cause for the murder of any others. Be respectful of other’s life. Neither steal nor strive to cheat others. Keep your heart pure and proceed to be away from ego and self-admire through means of regular workout in search of the truth. This entirely offers peace and salvation to the soul and this is the only way to liberation. For Tathagata, this used to be the decent truth of a happy life. To get alleviation from grief, Tathagata has proven all these ways. In search of happiness and to get relief from grief, many come to him. Once a woman named Vishakha with her critical circumstance reached Tathagata. Seeing her miserable condition, Tathagata astonished and asked, "Why are you in this situation?" She informed Tathagata that her grandson died. His loss has disturbed her mental stability. With a very sorrowful low tone, she said, it appears darkish everywhere. Tathagata requested can you tell me how many men and women di...

Image Source: Pixabay The quest is to find spirituality within the world and for that, it takes some time to understand the facts. Where there is darkness, there is light. Similarly, there is wisdom in ignorance. The question is? A sailor was sailing in the dark. Another boat collided with his boat. The sailor scolded him. As he did not get any answer, he scolded again and again. In the end, when he put light on the boat, he found no one was there.  His anger vanished. The sailor was completely calm. The question is who makes him calm??? A dark night is a symbol of ignorance. Nothing is visible, so it is difficult to understand the truth. Like the darkness of a sailor, we have ignorance. That's why we do mistakes. The mind did not know what was true. It's as if the sailor has unknowingly scolding, the mind feels that the solution of problems is at outside. So the mind is always running towards outside. The mind thinks that it will find peace if something can be found in some wa...

Image Source: Pixabay This was the time of Lord Buddha. He taught children how to understand each other. "God, we're talking about what happened at home," said one of the children. Swasti lost his parents at an early age. He keeps a buffalo and runs the family with it. He has a brother, Rupak and has two sisters, Bala and Bhima. With all sort of problems, he takes care of everyone like their parents. He tries his best for his little brothers and sisters so that they will not miss their lost parents. Urubela villagers are sometimes overwhelmed by this determination. Swasti said God about one night. My younger sister Bhima cried twice. Rupak became furious when the younger sister’s cry ruined his sleep. He slapped Bhima in anger. The child began to cry even more. Because the child is deprived of love and affection of their lost mother,  I suddenly woke up and hugged Bhima. I could see that her body’s temperature was high and she was suffering from severe fever. Without doin...

Find out your goal or purpose. Always do things with a bigger purpose. Don’t take rest till the goal is over. Know your purpose of talking, listening and doing whatever you do.
