Life-Hack#2 from Bhagavad Geeta:
Very often we give millions of excuses to our grief. There is a constant illusion that each of us is blessed with unique problems. To each, his own sorrows seem to have sufficient validity so as to render all sane advise irrelevant. We philosophize our sorrows and talk of lofty ideals while brooding in nasty miseries.
Strange isn't it that everyone of us says that Happiness is within and still cries for worldly losses?
Krishna now decides to shake Arjuna out of this hypocritical double standard living, and says: The wise do no keep grieving.
This is a far reaching statement because it hits straight on Arjuna's self-image. Each of us somewhere believes that we are wiser. Krishna says, well, then don't grieve!
This also leaves us with a yardstick for measuring our own spiritual progress. How does one know if one is becoming spiritually wiser? Watch how often, how quickly and for how long you succumb to sorrow.
Our ignorance and attachment are directly proportional to our sorrows.
Our wisdom is directly proportional to our happiness.
So, this week, let us all decide to just be wise. How? Refuse to be unhappy. Be staunch, stubborn and fanatic about this! Just refuse to be unhappy no matter what! Let's be wise for a week. Let's just be happy!
