Because it is important to MAINTAIN a CHILDLIKE ENTHUSIASM towards life... (क्योंकि जीवन के प्रति बच्चों जैसा उत्साह बनाए रखना ज़रूरी है...)


You must have seen that children have a lot of enthusiasm for everything. S/he is always full of energy from the time S/he wakes up in the morning till S/he goes to sleep at night. They may have a sense of competition with each other, but they do not keep hatred within their hearts. They are eager to know anything new. They neither worry about the unseen future nor do they like to carry the burden of the past on their souls. 



But the flip side of our life is that as we grow older and mature, we tend to lose out on this enthusiasm, fun, and vitality. After completing a school-college education, when one has to face the real struggles of life, then there is a sudden lack of enthusiasm towards life. 



Many philosophers, sociologists, and social psychologists have explained this impatience in their own way and also suggested ways to get rid of it. Broadly speaking, all of them have named this problem 'separation' (meaning lack of attachment) which is 'alienation'. Communists like Karl Marx have explained it on the basis of the economy, psychologists like Erich Fromm have explained it on the level of the individual's mind, Max Weber has explained it from a sociological and administrative point of view, then thinkers like Hegel, Kierkegaard and Sartre analyze this problem at the level of subtleties of philosophy. We will try to combine all these things and understand their essence in simple language and collect useful formulas to improve our life. 



1. The first formula is that there should be some possibility of  'creativity' in life. This point is particularly emphasized by Karl Marx and Max Weber. Marx has said that a man remains a man only as long as he keeps on using his sixth sense. In Marx's philosophy, the term 'sixth sense' has been used in the sense of creative potential. He has told that as long as a person is associated with any kind of creative work, the feeling of meaning remains in him. The only way to maintain this significance is to spend some time of your life in creative pursuits. 



2. The second formula is that there must be some purpose in life. It is not necessary that the purpose should be very high, it is only necessary that the purpose should be present in life. For a student to be successful in the examination may be the aim, then for a leader to win the election. For a young man or a young woman, earning someone's love can be the aim, then for an employee, increasing income and getting a promotion can be the objective. 



3. The third formula is that the person should be associated with some social work. This formula has been effectively explained by the famous psychologist Erich Fromm on the basis of the conceptual formulas of Karl Marx. Marx said that a person gets the deepest satisfaction only when he feels that he has made some contribution to his society. Fromm advises the wealthy to spend part of their time and money on those who are left behind and severely disadvantaged in economic competition if they want to achieve real satisfaction. By doing this, the help of those disadvantaged people will be there; More than that will be of help to the rich who, despite earning a lot of money, are unable to find any reason to feel their worth.

The world has Takers and Givers.

The Takers eat better, but the Givers sleep better. 


 

4. There are other ways to maintain enthusiasm in life. The first is that no matter what the age, one should not allow the child within one to die. Keeping your inner child alive simply means don't let hesitation overpower you. The other formula in this is that even in your hectic routine, make sure to take some time out for good friends and interests. 



** Hope you find some of these tips useful and you can enjoy a life full of enthusiasm like a child. A life full of enthusiasm is such a boon whose importance is understood only by those who have been deprived of this boon!!!

Because it is not just about a temple, it is about correcting a historical wrong...(क्योंकि यह सिर्फ एक मंदिर की बात नहीं है, यह एक ऐतिहासिक गलती को सुधारने की बात है...)

We are on the cusp of a cultural and civilizational Renaissance. 22nd of January is a date that this country is waiting with bated breath for (the Ram temple consecration). What should be our thoughts at this moment in terms of reclaiming our cultural and religious ethos seen in the life of any nation?  Let's start with a similar kind of example of Spain (where the majority follows Christianity). When the Arab armies took over Spain in the 8th Century every Cathedral they converted into mosques but when Spain regained it in the 13th century they built back everything without exception . i.e. Cordoba Mosque     Valencia Cathedral     Old Cathedral of Lleida     Visigothic Cathedral So in India, this should have been done before 1950 (from 1947 to 1950). Because abilities required to be a successful nation are not just in its resources, politics, and military but it's in the spirit of the people . If people feel defeated they're not going to do great thi...

Because 'SILENCE' is not empty, It is full of expression... (क्योंकि 'मौन' खाली नहीं होता, यह अभिव्यक्ति से भरा होता है...)

You will often meet people who are extremely vocal in their expressions. They always have a limitless stock of things. In any conversation, they listen less and talk more. They do not feel any hesitation in expressing their opinion on any issue. Usually, such people are kept in the category of smart people and most people want that they should also have a fearless and assertive personalities like them. On the other hand, you must have also seen some people who are generally silent. On the issue on which the outspoken persons appear to be fighting among themselves, these persons remain very calm even on those issues. The general belief is that people who remain silent have a suppressed personality and often no one wants to allow themselves to be included in this category. Most parents teach their children to be assertive from childhood and if a child remains calm then it becomes a cause of worry for his/her family. There will also be some of you readers who generally prefer to remain si...

Because ATTITUDE is the mirror of personality… (क्योंकि नज़रिया व्यक्तित्व का आईना होता है...)

Image
Often you will come across two types of people – those who make you depressed because of their clumsiness or irritability and  those who win your heart with their liveliness and generosity . Needless to say that we all want to see ourselves included in the second category.  The hallmark of irritable people is that they are always complaining about something or the other. If someone cooks and feeds them with love, then they start counting the shortcomings in that food too. In fact, he complains about everything except himself. No two words of praise come out of his mouth even on the greatest merit. There is a practice of calling such people ' wretched'  in common language and usually everyone wants to keep distance from them.  On the other hand, the specialty of lively and cheerful people is that they find reasons to be happy even in the worst of circumstances. Even if someone feeds them half-cooked food, there would no wrinkle on their forehead. On the contrary, fill...
