What gives you direction in life?
A belief that God will never let me down sustains me. Whatever happens, or fails to happen, is ultimately for my good. Being grateful and thankful for what we have paves the way for a successful and happy life. Health is the greatest wealth, and we must take excellent care of it. In the Mohamudgaram, Bhagavadpada admonishes:
मूढ! जहीहि धनागमतृष्णां कुरु सद्बुद्धिं मनसि वितृष्णाम्। यल्लभसे निजकर्मोपात्तं वित्तं तेन विनोदय चित्तम्।।
“Fool! Overcome your desire for accumulating wealth. Focus your mind on the divine and eradicate the thirst for more. Be content with whatever you gain from your own deeds!”
Embracing this wisdom leads to true contentment.
