'Freedays' are the 'gather our thoughts' days;
Q&As; a general review of the week so far…
Some wise words from Guruji…
All religions teach the same simple truth of the underlying oneness
and harmony. Yet we are aware of the differences and divisions between
communities and religions. Our experiences of life show…we want to live
happily, collectively and together.
On reflection we realise the only thing required for this is COMMON
SENSE. Each one has to live their own individual life. It is not possible to
live the life of another. So, we must take responsibility for our life, learn
to mind our own business. Generally we do not hold ourselves accountable for
all the sorrows of life. We easily pin the cause of our unhappiness on to
something or someone other than ourselves. We try to change people we encounter
in life, sometimes even the world itself.
HOWEVER our best intentions and efforts go in vain because we are
unable to change anyone. IF we understand this simple point AND use our COMMON
SENSE we can concentrate on changing our own lives BECAUSE…the only life we can
actually change is our own!
Swami Vivekananda’s quote is
memorable. He said, “Common sense is the most uncommon thing in this world”.
– – Swami Tejomayananda
