Principle 1: Embrace People as They Are
Why should we accept people as they are? The reason is profound: every human being is a marvel, much like the Taj Mahal. We cannot change others because they, like us, are here to experience life’s lessons. Similarly, we ourselves are here to experience life according to our past karma. Hence, it is mandatory to accept people with all their pluses and minuses. This principle alone can resolve 50% of major issues in personal relationships and kinship with others.
Principle 2: Self-Realization and Acceptance
Even as we accept others, achieving results hinges on mutual acceptance, which isn’t always in our control. The key is self-realization—understanding why we were born and the experiences we are meant to have, both positive and negative, based on our DNA and astrology. Guided by our mentor, Guru Vishal Lokeswaran, we learn that understanding ourselves helps us navigate our karma and life’s purpose.
Principle 3: Embrace the Three Disciplines
To live peacefully and harmoniously, embracing three essential disciplines is crucial:
Self-Discipline:
This involves leading a systematic life where we face challenges head-on and convert them into successes. By adopting self-discipline, we set the foundation for personal growth and resilience.
Family Discipline:
Here, the focus is on ensuring that we take care of our family members, helping them achieve their challenges in life. A strong, supportive family network is fundamental to overall well-being and success.
Social Discipline:
This means contributing positively to society by helping the deserving needy, paying proper taxes, and maintaining smooth relationships within our social networks. Social discipline also involves humanitarian acts like Annadanam (food donation), blood donation, and supporting the education and employment of the underprivileged. Moreover, it includes environmental stewardship—combatting global warming, promoting deforestation, rainwater harvesting, and planting saplings to ensure a healthier planet for future generations.
The Power of Perception
Our perception of life is significantly influenced by our upbringing, environmental factors, education, and social connections. It’s crucial to verify information from reliable sources rather than holding onto unverified beliefs. Life is a life-long learning process, and our perspectives will inevitably evolve. By staying open to change and understanding the broader context, we can make more informed decisions and lead a more fulfilling life. Importantly, we are not here to judge others; acceptance without judgement fosters stronger relationships and mutual respect, guiding us towards personal growth and harmony.
Conclusion: A Roadmap to a Harmonious Life
To summarize these golden principles:
- Accept People as They Are: Embrace the uniqueness of every individual and acknowledge that everyone has their own life path influenced by their karma.
- Understand and Realize Ourselves: Focus on self-discovery and understand our place in the universe based on our past actions and inherent traits.
- Adopt the Three Disciplines: Cultivate self-discipline, ensure family well-being, and contribute positively to society and the environment.
By internalizing and practicing these principles, we pave the way for a smoother, more harmonious life experience. Embracing these guidelines helps us navigate the challenges of both material and spiritual realms, leading to a balanced and fulfilling existence. 🌟🙏
As stated in the Vedas, “Perform your duties harmoniously with life.” These golden principles will fully impart the true essence of life to you; without the intention to change others, you will attain heaven. 🌟🙏
