Guest guest Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 OM AMRITESWARYAI NAMAH IMMORTAL LIGHT - Simple Life Style Children, build up selflessness and reduce efforts to increase personal comforts. A spiritual aspirant should not be a pleasure seeker. Try to lead a simple life, reducing personal possessions to a minimum. Be moderate in our material possessions Children, with a little care, we can save a good part of the money unnecessarily spent on building a house. People usually spend everything they have saved for building a house and end up in debt. One should have a reasonable house to live in. Avoid all additional luxuries. Children, when we build a house worth hundreds of thousands for a family of just four or five members, don't forget that there are countless poor homeless people who spend their nights out in the rain and cold. It is good to avoid clothes with bright or splashy colors. This helps us stay clear of others' attention. When others pay attention to us, our attention may wander in their direction too. We should try our best to cultivate simplicity in our clothes and lifestyle. Women should give up the craving for jewelry. Children, good words and deeds are the real jewels. :: >From the book of Immortal Light - Advice to Householders (english translation of the original Malayalam "Amrita Jyoti") Amma Sharanam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
