In the current scenario, barring a few contented people, the rest of the humanity is in an unsettled state of mind. What has caused such an uncomfortable though 'got used to' state?


The age of technology has brought more around us than can be comfortably taken in life. Be it education, food, luxuries, communication, company, opportunities, needs, knowledge, action, ambition- thus creating a situation of being immersed in abundance. This situation of abundance in every sphere has made people work more to get more. They put in more time to get more and in-turn have less time, so they enjoy less. Thus paucity of time makes people “poorer in peace” in midst of “plenty”. Solution is simple - Switch over to 'simple living' and this will bring peace of mind and enable you to enjoy 'high thinking' as well.
Simple living will save you from “brand” culture and help save you from spending all the time in mad pursuit of money, instead live qualitatively to be with your self and your near and dear ones too! It will also give you more time to enjoy art, music, aesthetics and better health. For younger generation too, education should impart skill learning for becoming self- reliant. Let each one explore own potential to grow and succeed. Eat simple, dress simple, and get time to “live” your life. And you will discover joy of higher happiness. Change your attitude from “I am the world and I want the world” to “I am a part of the world and I will play my role for peace and progress”.

Such mindset will help you check stretching yourself beyond your normal limits as you cease to be the avaricious and struggling soul. You will discover real values and worth of being a human being and may be learn to grow into “higher self” Keeping yourself always happy and surely spreading cheer around too!
