Guest guest Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 SPRIRITUALITY AND MANAGEMENT ACHARYA SHRI KISHORE VYASJI as interviewed by pradeep nambiar for sanskar tv What is the purpose of life? The Youth usually don’t ask these questions but when they ask it means they are on the path of realization. Such a person will have to ask himself 3 questions A] Who am I? Am I the body or is the body distinct from the self? B] How can I unite myself with the all pervading supreme energy that moves the world? As this will make him stress free as he then knows, that he is not totally responsible for things happening in his life. C] How can he devote some time to service of mankind? As service of mankind is an extension of the work of the lord. B] How do we know our swadharma , our unique talent ? Earlier when there was Varnashram, knowing your swadharma was easy as you had to follow the service carried on by your forefathers. Now the way to know your swadharma is to ask yourself this question. What am I born for? You have to know your intrinsic tendency and take an employment suitable for that. The other way is to know your duty and get committed and do it with your total devotion. {Putra dharma, matru dharma, praja dharma, pitru dharma and raj dharma}.do your duty wherever you belong. C] What are failures in life? In life, there are no failures. Every setback is a step towards success. Setbacks are reason to ponder. The important thing to understand is that you have to have tremendous self confidence. The Pandavas had their setbacks. Shri Ram lost Sita for a whole year. But that was to fulfill a greater duty destiny had for them. Failures are not permanent, be a master of your own field. D] What is success in life? In Indian philosophy there is no place for luck, prarabdh and daiva . There is only Purusharth . Only your effort and hard work can get you results. But then you have to be focused in life. You have to keep yourself healthy both physically and mentally, keep your mind open to opportunities and move ahead in life. E] Is our life destiny driven are there any limits? There are no limits, you have to have confidence and have a direction and not give up. In the Mahabharata there is a beautiful saying “have a target, work towards it, you will achieve it provided you will not stop pursuing it.” Do everything with enthusiasm. Never fall short in giving your best. God wants to help, everything happens because he wants it to happen Do your duty, there should never be a sacrifice of your duty Set your character, there should never be a sacrifice of values Then nothing is impossible.
