Wait and See
In day to day life to have patience is a must. But if we want to live a spiritual life then without patience we will be quite unable to go a step forward.
Why patience has such an importance in spiritual life, it is a question. The answer is in living a spiritual life our soul always expands its field because it is the nature of soul to expand itself up to infinite. And this expansion of soul assails on negative forces of this world and subtle worlds. So they also start attacks to counter it. These counter attacks become hindrances for a seeker.
Secondly soul always strives to live a truthful life. It makes a truthful atmosphere around the seeker and it increases day by day. It also attacks on negative forces which never want to see the reign of Truth on this world and other subtle worlds. It also attracts their attacks. Their attacks outwardly slow down the progress and the results come slow.
God never takes tests of us. They are these negative forces which throw hindrances and problems on us. If we get disappointed and lose our patience then these negative forces get stronger and we will be defeated by them on our path.
So we should always have a great patience in our spiritual path.

The Real Aim of Our Life
The Real Aim of Our Life
A man is going somewhere; you stop him and ask, ‘Where are you going?’ He replies, ‘I do not know where I am going.’ What will you think of him.
But if you ask a question to some people, ‘What is the aim of your life?’ You will see almost all of them are unable to reply the question.
We never think on what is the aim of our life, what for we are here. We may leave to expect to get reply of this question from a person up to an age of 20 years. But after that if a person is not conscious about this question, he is the same person as given in the example.
We should give some time daily to think upon this question. Sometimes it will take our sleep. But it will give us some benefits at once and some day by day. We will see that our personality is becoming stronger. We were used to be influenced by everybody but now we will not be influenced by everybody. We will learn to say ‘No’. And to know to say ‘No’ is the final achievement for our personality. We will start to know the inner truth of every incident of our life. And a day will come when we will know our real ‘I’. But we will not stop here. This real ‘I’ will tell us the real cause of this world- existence. And ultimately this will tell the real aim of our life.
But our growth will be going on and by every forward step we will get an increasing peace. After some time this peace will be so condensed that our outer circumstances will be unable to shake our inner peace. Next step will be that whoever will come in our touch will feel a peace.
So it is worthwhile to think upon what is the real aim of our life.

The Elderliness
The Elderliness
Being elder is the toughest thing in the world. Age wise we are being elder at every second. A child gets birth, is the youngest in the world but after a second so many other children have taken birth. And this one is now one second elder to them. We will not take the matter in such a large scope. Elderliness is a comparative phenomenon but here we are taking it as a non-comparative thing.
After some time we see we are being called by some others as an elder brother or sister and after some more time we are listening the word ‘Uncle’ for us. We are getting the due respect belongs to these words. In our working place also we get seniority.
We know that this word ‘Respect’ is the main instinct of all our activities. All the money and all the posts we acquire are just to acquire the respect from others in our life. It is the most material form of the word ‘Love’.
But it is also giving us unknowingly a responsibility. And as being elder is the toughest thing so its linked thing responsibility is. Sometimes we do not want to sit on our study as we have completed all our course but our younger brother is not sincere to his study so we just sit on our study to show him that we are very sincere to our study.
In working place an administrator is highly responsible for his outer discipline too. He may be very fast in his work and clear up all his work in a very short time but he has to follow his office timings otherwise it may create a misbalance in office atmosphere.
And if we are in a social, religious or political field than our responsibility is the highest. Because the figures in the mentioned fields lead our society, our country and control the deeds of ordinary persons.
What Lord Krishna says in the Gita is very inspiring:
Yad Yadacharati shreshthastattadevetaro janah,
Sa yat pramanam kurute lokastadanuvartate.
Gita, Chapter-3, Verse-21
Whatever an Ideal man does, ordinary men follow the same,
Whatever he says even as ideal(work), other men follow the same.
