Avoid temptation, to become content!

      When your parent or friend asks you, 'Do you want to taste this?' or 'Taste it,' by giving it to you, what do you get? A temptation to experience it yourself rises in you. Whatever you desire, it makes an expectation in you to get it and experience. If you get, it gives you some satisfaction. Later, when you begin to get happiness out of it by using it again, you have now started your other fresh attempts to get a full satisfaction out of it (but when you don't get it, it produces frustration in it and then worrying about it). Important thing here is that you must become fully content with having once the full happiness and satisfaction out of it. On the other hand, in case if you don't become content with it, in spite of having got full happiness, drop it and desire for more of that similar happiness in another similar thing, then you have started to become addicted to more and more expectations. So, train yourself to decide and say a firm 'no' to offers made by others to taste or to do and/or experience. Then this firmness of you will limit your desires, lessen expectations, protect you from frustrations and make you happy and be content with what you have got now as new.

Revert from foolishness!

Giving importance to one's plans or desires and acting on it at the proper time and situation is considered as wise. Dull headed people doing unimportant things are branded as foolish people. But what about learned people doing unimportant things? And when do they do these? They become temporarily foolish or addicted to those things when they become more lenient towards their desires than to using their intellect - in a weakened state of mind. Such people can revert to their previous state of being wise - by making their mind and body strong; it is done by doing what is needed and suited for the hour and their health in each of their activities of shorter duration first; at the end of each of such activities, they must realize its worthiness and get satisfied with it. This self training towards firmness when continued, shall build in them a strong will power to select the important ones and reject the unimportant ones from the activities presented before them - in these days of competitive and luxurious world.
