To be successful in life, one must make any resolution firm. Before making any important decision, all things should be understood properly; otherwise, nothing will be achieved in life. One should set a good, high, but achievable goal in life and keep moving towards it. Never let boredom or weariness come into life. Crises and bitter moments will come in life, so never get discouraged.
Whatever is to be done should be done with the inner self as a witness, so there is no chance of failure. Without believing in miracles, one should seek what the truth is. Always hold on to the truth. It is important to develop discernment, reduce ego, and understand how to live life. Ultimately, truth prevails. Liberation of this body is also attained through truth. No matter how harsh the truth is, it should be respected and accepted. Never harbor hatred or jealousy towards anyone. Never abandon duty. While performing it, do not consider sin or virtue. Elderly people become a burden when they have no place in the house. However, it is everyone's duty to take care of elderly parents. Parents should maintain authority to discipline young children. Do not scold young children but keep the environment free.
The fewer one's needs, the more joy there will be in life. Maintain understanding in the house. The more peace and contentment there is in the house, the more favorable fate becomes. There should be a religious atmosphere in the house. One should seek the company and blessings of the "Guru" (Guru). This keeps the mind always calm, and then it does not take long for fate to become favorable. Always avoid eating harsh food. Only with a sense of purity can one control sorrow. From this, a good mind and intellect are formed. The power in the mind can make the right decisions, and that person becomes successful in life.
First, hold on to spirituality and then to science. In life, one should have some places to surrender to someone.
There are many types of people in the world. If you do not find a believer who agrees with your thoughts, do not associate with them. Do not let your faith be shaken. Serving, worshiping, and performing rituals for God is our duty. Daily practice is necessary for everyone. It is the key to a happy life and worldly affairs.
