through observation,
to live a simple
happy
uncomplicated
life,
to gain mental
peace,
without losing
much,
I am learning to
keep
luggage of Karmas
light,
to keep heart
full of love,
avoiding things
that
sits heavy on my
heart,
conscience guilt
free,
mind grudge less,
not agitated at
ease,
I have adopted
some virtues,
to be an island
of peace,
amidst life’s
turbulent sea;
I have chosen to
tread the
unstinted,
unwavering path
of honesty,
determined not to
fall for greed,
to keep lust out
of desires,
not to fall in
the pit of avarice,
honesty only
policy in dealings,
may lead to some
immediate loss,
permanent mental
peace,
is the gain I get;
I have adopted,
an approach an
attitude,
to live life within
myself,
on righteous
terms,
within my means,
to be myself be
what I am,
not what others
expect me to be,
not to become
like others,
not to please
others,
not what others
are thinking,
what others may
think,
accepting with
courage,
my drawbacks shortcomings;
Silence is the
best policy,
is the motto I
try to follow,
to listen more
talk less,
as far as
possible,
to keep mouth
shut,
not jumping to
conclusion,
hearing both
sides,
speak only if
required,
speak only the truth,
nothing more nothing
less,
to face truth
boldly,
not hide behind
lies;
I have learned
the hard way,
no teaching no
preaching
no saint no sermons
no satsang
no one, not even
superficially
praying to
Almighty God,
can change our
mindset,
change our thoughts,
only sincere
unbiased
efforts on
improving self,
is of utmost
importance,
before trying to change
others,
try to improve
own thoughts;
Guidance from sensibilities,
implicit trust in
abilities,
explicit faith in
capabilities,
determination not
to waver,
has helped me to
adopt,
simple basic
virtues in life,
which has helped
to understand,
valuable rule of
life, that to
have lasting
cordial relations,
give as much as
possible,
in any way it is
possible,
with least expectation,
of getting any
reciprocation,
especially from
loved ones,
from your near n dear ones.
