Our own desire and hunt for proud ownership of ideas, excitement and newness has turned our Life into a constant friction. In a society which is already saturated with multiple concepts and ideas your new perspective, vision or take is bound to create friction, Arguments, disagreements or hostility, because society doesn't accept new ideas easily and whatever you want to achieve you can't do it without the help of your society. So you get stuck in an unpleasant and undesirable situation. You got to put up and live with all sorts of nonsense. You can't quit, shut up or kill everybody (Spouse, kids, Boss, parents, Neighbours, Government, Clients). This World is a big Beautiful Nonsense, it is not in your control, it doesn't play a fair ball, it's a constant torcher, a trauma and you got to accept and put up with this harsh reality. It is true that this world is not made to meet up to your expectations but to wake you up from dreams and teach you a lesson. Either you learn a lesson or you loose your mind choice is yours. But it doesn't have to end up in a sad story all the time. Wise people learn the art of dodging the bouncers and live in harmony without hurting anyone.
This worldly disappointment also brings a golden opportunity. An opportunity to save yourself your soul from this futile madness of life and reach your GODLINESS where Bliss and Joy are ever prevalent and madness and disappointments can't even touch you, where your mental state becomes Blissfulness, Divine celebrations and Miracles help you every now and then.. Sounds unbelievable but it's true. One must work to raise the leval of his/her vibration and expand their understanding to witness ultimate dimension his own existence.
We are raised to compete or follow orders like race horses or army dogs since our early childhood. we become part of The game of "Punishment and treat" the moment we are born in this world the process starts where if one fulfils the demand of the master gets a treat and pat and if one fails reprimands, punishment & humiliation is inevitable. That pat makes us feel worthy and fills pride in our minds or punishment fills us with shame and guilt.
This practice of result oriented Action/selfish karma binds people to the rules of cause and effect and entangles them in the vicious cycle of Competition, Greed, Pain, Fear, Anger, Jealousy and Insecurity. This social training fills our minds with a sense of self centric/pride seeking Actor.
We start to blame others or ourselves for all results of failure or success and ignore other factors. We forget to extend our gratitude to other supporting conditions ( "The Divine arrangement") which is much more responsible for the result which is 30%(human effort)+70%(divine will) = 100% Result.
Today modern schools and education system has failed & forgotten to teach us basic lessons of life like Gratitude, Benevolence, Respect, Appreciation, Servitude,Tolerance, Contentment and Relaxation. Instead they go on filling and preaching Competition, Showoff, Rivalry, Hate, Bragging of excellence, Race with others, Sense of urgency, creating stories of fake triumph and awarding the most mean, cunning and self centred. As a result we have developed an impulsive habit of living in fake stories, brewing secret jealousy and other complexes, our pride filled minds starts to demand praise and prize form every person we come across, as if they owe us for our achievements and if they don't bow to us we feel bad we are becoming a society of Lone Achievers/Losers who are good for nothing not for self, family or the society. They deject and abandon their families, society or country in their pursuit of success or to appease their hunger for pride pedestalization .
This habit of pride pedestalization, jealous competition seeking full credit or praise creates anxiety, excitement, and an uneasiness of urgency. It creates an unhealthy stress and pressure to score goals and hit targets, achieve results, making us disoriented and confused snatching our natural peace and joy our ability to enjoy nature, beauty and art. In other words driving us to sickness like depression, anxiety / heart attack/ blood pressure /nervous break down and memory deficiencies. Such a perplexed mind always requires a target to chase, some puzzle to solve, some excitement to live for, it develops into a habit of anxiety as natural mental state. Such a mind can never relax, even relaxation becomes a target for them it feels unnatural to them. In such cases if the condition of excitement is not fulfilled then psyche turns into Depression, Sadness, Unworthiness or even Suicidal tendencies start to surface.
If you are fed up with mental turmoil, pain, agitation, anger, anxiety than perhaps it is time to rethink about your way of life, because every human being is born with immense possibilities to reach Godliness, the supreme bliss consciousness but in the rat race of life we forget the natural harmony and blissfulness, sharing and caring, and become self-centric ego centric showoff puppets trying to beat rivals, fellows and friends in the game of life.
But this self centric, credit seeking pride hungry act takes a huge toll on our psychological health and ultimately we are left as lone losers or heart broken individuals, chattering nonsense, scolding, abusing, all alone making your life painful and neglected. Is there any solution for this problem? We must create a strong bubble of Divine silence(GOD consciousness) in our minds and fill our hearts with Gratitude and reside in that protective abode Blissfully in all the undesirable circumstances only than This LIFE can truly become a heaven, a paradise.
Q -: What is human life's goal? How can we reach financial freedom as well as our Divine nature and abide in our own Godliness?
A-: The Vedas (The oldest written scriptures) In Hindu Dharma advocate every Human being should strive to achieve life's ultimate goal i.e realisation of Brahma/Moksha (supreme contentment/Bliss of peace/Godliness ) by the process of purusharth(Endeavours) there are four purusharth(Endeavours) written in the Vedas i.e Dharma, Artha, Kama if done whole heartedly Like Yajna these endeavours lead to social prosperity(Money, Power, Popularity) as well as the ultimate goal of human life i.e realisation of Brahma / Godliness /Supreme understanding .
1) Dharma - Acquire good education & valuable knowledge, Study Vedas, Neeti shashtras, learn worldly skills (scientific, technical, mechanical, medical, lingual, financial, food production, survival, martial, social, artistic, marketing) as well as spiritual skills and become useful for the society. Learn to tame your emotions and reactions, also learn how to follow and abide, serve, lead, collaborate, tolerate, appreciate, respect and share with others.
2) Artha - Learn money skills like Earning, Saving, lending, Negotiations and Spending, finance management, social funding, persuasion & marketing. Self value creation activities.

4) Moksha - understand the triviality and futility of life and dedicate the fruits of your actions to the Universal force and reach your own Blissful silent witness state/Godliness/Supreme understanding.
Practice silent alertness or Mindfulness. It raises your vibration and understanding "Awakens the witness element (The soul) inside you". In words of Jesus "Return to the source" in words of Krishna "Bramha Yajna" (study your mind watch your thoughts or pay attention to the Alert consciousness (source or the soul). This Source is addressed by different name Guru /Witness /centre/ Sakshi/ watcher /soul etc. get in sync with it and a divine harmony will descend upon you, this syncing will dispel all the negativity from your core, aligning you with your Divine Bliss nature.
Lord krishna in The Gita tells Arjuna "योग कर्मसु कौशलम् Yogah karmasu Kaushalam" Taking action diligently (with total attention and perfection joyfully) is the act of Yoga (connects you with supreme consciousness/ Godliness) this meticulous work or YOGA lead to social prosperity(Money, Power, Popularity). Our first and foremost duty is to gather sticks of our senses, determination/willpower(aatmabal) by patience & penance and make a fire(Densify the Guru/Watcher with practice of silence) If one works upon that silent witness element even for little time under guidance and support of a Teacher/Spiritual Guide and remains in touch with Spiritual environment / Brotherhood this Divine Grace which is also called the Godly Consciousness starts to germinate and grow, this Divine power auto corrects your life on the right path and lead you to social success & prosperity(Money, Power, Popularity) and eventually takes you to your own GODLINESS.
🙏🙏🙏
May the Godliness Dawn upon all of us.
May the flower of Grace & silence bloom in our hearts.
May the joy & Bliss of Supreme Understanding soak us with tears.
"Om Shantih shantih shantih"
