Prosperity in 6 ways

You get an opportunity and are placed alone in a beautiful island with full greenery. You have no obligation of getting up early in the morning, to rush for work, there is no work to be done by you and accordingly there is no one to bother you about anything, you have all the leisure and go for an excellent bath in the waterfall and after that if you are a vegetarian you have plenty of fruits to eat and many tender coconuts to drink and if you are a non vegetarian you have the option to do fishing or hunt and prepare any dish etc. In this way you spend time eating fruits, sleeping in the afternoon and walk along the beach in the evening with no disturbance. Can anyone live alone happily in that island?
No, 99% will come back and one may stay only if he is not interested in life or has any other problem. If a pain occurs immediately we need doctor and hence Health is most important.
Man requires 6 prosperities of them 1st is Health. A Student requires 2 types of health, Physical and mental.

Health a) Physical health – It implies ill health, cleanness and tidiness. What parents do not teach to the students is cleaning up the bed as one wakes up, the brushing of the teeth and making them clean and having a good bath. As far as health is concerned experts world over predict that by the year 2020 in India 50% will suffer from diabetes, BP and renal failures. It is happening only because, as man got slowly transformed from monkey and in those days the monkey each day to get food used to travel 50 Km for which it used to jump from one tree to another and travel quit far, but today man does not even travel 200 yards leave alone 2 Km. When pancreas is not releasing sufficient quantity of insulin is leading to diabetes. Avoiding doctor is a major fortune. No one can do anything for disease such as cancer or aids, where as the rest of the 90% diseases are squarely due to our negligence.
b) Mental ill health – A peace of mind gives lot of ideas for constructive working. Lack of mental peace leads to worst disorder. The most unlucky of all are those who are not having interest in what they are doing. If as one goes to office he thinks why he needs to go to office, in the same way if a student thinks why he needs to go to school and a women why I need to go to kitchen they are all the most unfortunate ones. So for one to have good mental health
o One needs to have interest in what he is doing.
o One should know what are the advantages and disadvantages for what he is doing?
o Also one needs to know what is it that is making him lose interest in what he is doing?
For example one gets a problem in house and he carries that problem from home to office in his briefcase and if he thinks of only this problem then he cannot work. If one works with financial tension or any other type of worry he is considered to be not in good mental health.
So the very first prosperity to man is to have good health both physically and mentally.

FameFame is common to all but how one receives it may vary. A child just born has fame in the sense of his smile. A student in LKG who comes first has his fame as the teacher praises him. In this way the fame takes birth in every one. For some they do not have fame in their house and feel lonely. In another case the head of the family is away from home for more than 10 days and no one in the house bothers his absence. For some as they return back, the home which was sparkling with joy becomes suddenly silent with everybody attending to work. By seeing this he thinks that it is his fame, it is in fact not fame, but power which is exhibitive and unnatural. On the contrary a smiling and pleasant query keeps the home highly happy and adds to the good fame of the head of the family. Such fame is the 2nd prosperity.
Today after money man needs fame.

MoneyPeople may say what we will get with money? Money though gives comfort may not lead to happiness. If we say that we can be happy without money, how can one be happy with empty stomach? When we ask a student where will you build a house when you are 45 years we get answers such as I will build house in my native place. If we ask in continuation he would say 2 bed room for me and my children. Then if we question where will your parents be as they have fostered you, he would say I would have 4 bed room house. If I come what will you do, then he would say 5 bed room. So what is required is prior and necessary planning.
Earn money early and be free to live comfortably.

Wisdom Wisdom is the elixir of human life. Foolishness indicates the lack of wisdom which leads to difficulty as such knowledge on various aspects for pleasant living is necessary. In order to fool the conductor if you have purchased a ticket in spite of having student pass it is foolishness. To overcome this we need wisdom that comes to us in different forms. Knowledge is considered as ocean and with depth and magnitude of the ocean is highly desirable. Knowledge is unending but it is possible to learn continuously on many aspects.

Inquisitiveness What we do in island is eat, drink and sleep. We must have the eagerness to know what is going to happen tomorrow. But today’s generation has got accustomed to routine life. Such as brushing teeth, reading news paper, go to work and come back in the evening. Take the TV remote and keep shifting the channels and then say that this day has passed. For such people it is better to stay back in the island in the way described earlier.
If we don’t have that eagerness to know then there is no progress in life.

Love
This is the last and the most important prosperity in one’s life. To love is a virtue; to be loved is a boon; A few only experience it. Is it not where to see persons like Gandhi, Abdul Kalam & Nelson Mandela. Who have no personal interest but have lived for only others. We need to express love. As today the parents to children and children to parents have no time to express love.
This can be done through Thought, Word & Deed through words, actions and listening.

Conclusion
The one who achieves all these 6 prosperities will be on the Mount Everest and these individuals will be called as performers.
We have about 95% watchers and have only 5% performers.
So start performing from today.

Friendship

Real friends hurt each other with the truth rather than having the relationship fall apart from lies.

Love

Love is not finding someone to live with, it is finding someone you can’t live without.

I liked this specific sentence on love which I came across today in one of the books: True love is an acceptance of all that is, has been, will be, and will not be ……………
