👉 Win Yourself

A life driven by cravings or aimed at sensual joys alone is useless; it is a blot on the glory of human life, a burden on the earth. Despite being endowed with superior powers, immense potentials, such a person lives a life not different from beasts. He has chosen disgraceful decline… It is pathetic to see a fellow human remaining dormant and letting his life be ruined without any effort, and suffering the consequent miseries. He also makes others related to him face adversities, insult and pains in different forms.

Sensual passions and luxuries without hard work are worse then ‘death’ whereas self-restrain, awareness and disciplined alacrity are real signs of life. A true winner is the one who transforms the ‘wrought iron’ of ambitions and cravings into the ‘gold’ of enlightened potentials. Such a fellow finds joy in every element of Nature.

The dignity of human life lies in uprooting the beastly tendencies, winning over the passions and rising for higher goals. You should be the master and not a slave of your body and mind. A wise man rules over his sense organs and makes constructive use of them as per the directions of wisdom. It is only such farsighted people who awaken the divine potentials indwelling in the human body and mind. The secret of unalloyed bliss, luminous success lies in chiseled refinement and evolution of the inherited physical and mental abilities.
