What is good time and bad time?
Dear Learners,
Pranam! Jai Siyaram
We always want to be happy and run after happiness. We want to enjoy and wish to have a joyful life. We want success and dream to be a successful person. Yet we can't feel happy, joyful and successful. We wait for certain things to happen. until the things happen, we feel unhappy, sad, and failure. Here is the clue. According to many wise men, What we feel, we become. What we become, we attract the same kind of people, and situations. So we should feel always happy, joyful and successful even when we have not happiness, joy, and success. Now you may question. How can we do that ? if I don't have money, how can I feel that I am a rich man? The simple answer of the question. Do you celebrate any function? You would say, Yes. Let's take one example, suppose you have the function in your house. Now function would be of 2 or 3 days but we start preparations before many days. Marriage function is of 2 days but we spend 2 months to do preparations for the marriage function. When we do preparations at that time there is no situation like marriage, no Garba, no feast, no decorations, no orchestra, no ceremony, yet we do preparations keeping all these things in mind. We imagine how it would be and we prepare, according to our imagination. Whether it is a small function or a big function, we do preparations with peace, love and joy because we are sure and responsible for our upcoming function. The hard time or bad time is nothing but the time for preparations, while what we call good time is nothing but celebration. We can't celebrate any function without preparations. We have to do arrangements according to festivals also. We do preparations for many days to celebrate Diwali. We never feel sad, disappointed, or unlucky while doing preparations for the festival. Bad time is the time for the preparations for good time. Struggle is the preparation time for Success. Success is festival while struggle is the time of preparation. You see any successful person in any field of the world, they took the hard time, tough time as a chance for the preparations. They did not spend bad time in crying, complaining and criticising self and life. They were sure about the festival of success. They enjoyed when they were preparing. They enjoyed while they were struggling because it was the preparation for them before the success festival. Even when they got success, they didn't stop. Again they started preparing for the next festival of success. So good time is nothing but a big festival. While bad time is nothing but a time for the preparations of a big festival. So never loose heart, never depress, never criticize your self and life. Whatever the situation is, you can use it as a preparation for the future. Prepare and Repair your self before the festival of success. When success arrives, enjoy it but don't stick to it. Again start preparations for the next. Nature also gives us the same inspiration, the preparations of monsoon starts in summer. Due to evaporation of water in hot summer in oceans, we get rain in monsoon. So there is no bad time or good time. There are only festive seasons and preparations seasons. Think if you like.
Pranam! Jai Siyaram.
