Before going to further discussion let me ask you two question.First what is the biggest achievement of a human being and the second question is what is the main purpose of life?
Though different people have different perspectives, but we all have a common answer of these questions. These are the things we may want in our life.
We may want to be famous so that people can recognise us.
We may want to earn millions of money.
We may dream of living a luxurious life or having a fancy car.
All these things are material achievement.
These material achievements are temporary. Now let's go back to our questions. I'm asking about a permanent achievement.
Our life is very short and very temporary too. In these short time, we need to achieve that should be permanent and will be remembered for eternity.
But since we are human, the greatest achievement of our lives is to become a 'good person or good human being.
Being a good human being can be a permanent achievement of life.
Both being good to himself and good to others. But how to be a good person and is it really possible to get rid of any kind of material lust and pleasures. Yes it is possible.
In our history, there are good personality and only for that reason the world is colorful today.
You may think in today's world it is impossible to get rid of the material lust. But our ancestors have done it several times and if we try we will be able to do it also.
Being a good person or being a good soul is not a tough task at all. Today I'll write about how you can be a good person only by following a simple rules of life.
Life is very much simple, we just make it complicated without any reason. So what are the secrets of a good soul? What rules they've followed on their journey?
Love your own self
You may think everyone tells to love others but I'm telling you to love his own self first. How ridiculous is that? But it's true.
If you don't love yourself or don't have any affection for your own self how can you feel others pain? First of all you need to feel the pain inside you.
If you are numb to your own pain, I can assure you you'll never be able to understand what others is going through.
If you break your leg by accident,you'll feel what it is meant of having no leg. You will recover one day for sure but there are lot of people out there who has lost their leg permanently.
There are lots of people who is blind, aren't able to see the lights of this wonderful world. Will you be able to feel the darkness?
No you can't! You've eyes and you are watching the colours of joy everyday. You don't know what is darkness.
So first love yourself. Feel the pain you are going through, the same way other persons are going.
Than you'll find people are in much more trouble than you. Last night when after taking dinner, I took my phone and started scrolling my newsfeed.
Than I saw poor woman who is in deep sleep with a little child in her hand. Her child is also in deep sleep. Seeing their face it's clear that they are very hungry.
They didn't eat anything whole day. They fall asleep begging for alms. They have a small pot in front of them and there are some money.They don't have any energy left to go and buy foods.
As I was in full stomach I felt ashamed of myself.If you were me, than you would too. There are lots of people suffering from hunger and we are eating our full stomach. We will not understand or be able to feel their hunger.
Only if we go through these kind of hunger than. If you love yourself and put your attention to your body and don't have anything to eat you'll feel what hunger is felt like.Than the mentality of donating something to the poor people will grow naturally.
Again if we look at the history of criminals and bad persons we'll see a thing in common. Did you ever ask yourself why people become criminals?
They are deprived of love, affection and everything that is necessary to live a happy life moreover they don't love themselves too. They don't have any emotion for themselves let alone for others.
When someone is in good condition in his life, they become jealous. They say themselves I don't get anything in my life and I'll not let enjoy people their life too.
That's why they want to ruin others life.If they loved themselves they would have love for the people's too. They would feel the same way a sufferer feel.
Only for this reason I'm emphasizing on loving oneself. These idea came to my mind and I feel myself enlightened.
If you want to be a good person and want to do good for others than it is mandatory to love your own self first.
Loving oneself, the one simplest way being a good soul.Than it'll be the achievement of our lifetime. I wish for everyone's wellbeing.
Let's not stop feeling others sufferings and devote ourselves for the wellbeing of people.
