We are not here on earth to struggle for a satisfying existence, or just exist aimlessly to the whims of our destiny. The vedic view is that cessation of all misery is the purpose of human birth. This can be achieved only through complete liberation of our consciousness.
Good and Evil, Happiness and Misery only exist in the mind of the observer. The conditioning of the mind is dictated by the manner in which we live. No one on earth can live a self indulgent, indiscipline and wanton life and hope that his lifestyle will not affect his state of mind, for it would impact all his perceptions and circumstances.
The true freedom comes only through self-knowledge which can free us from miseries. Self knowledge can be achieved by living RIGHT!
1) Moral perfection
2) Worldly attainment
3) Fulfilment of legitimate desires and
4) Liberation
i.e., If one want liberation then first three should be followed otherwise it would lead to arrogant, greedy, POWER-HUNGRY and immoral.
If we live a life of moral perfection, then we live in tune with our real Self, there by always being in tune with pulse of life. We discover how to function in an optimum manner, and have the full support of Providence to evolve because Nature is always inclined towards progression. All our behaviours then become constructive, life enhancing and appropriate. The opportunities opens up to fulfil all our needs. What ever is required to make our lives satisfying unfolds spontaneously.
We are always in the flow of harmonious relationships and supportive circumstances. But we should also cultivate the faith that whatever is showing up is for our highest good. Impatience does not have spiritual virtue. With unshakeable faith in God, we should be joyous and enthusiastic always.
When our life-enhancing, legitimate desires are fulfilled, life is fulfilling, enjoyable and we can devote ourselves to Higher Learning and Practice. As we keep progressing on our path with full dedication, we are foreever assured of God's grace.
