THE CHALLENGE : PART II - 6. SWAMI CHINMAYANANDA

6.ENJOY THE CHALLENGES OF LIFE

What is this life?
How should we really live it?
EVERYDAY…WITHOUT FAIL…
life comes with different flavours…
pleasant…unpleasant…wonderful…
boring…tiring…fulfilling…

Life does not place choices before us.
What you see is what you get.
So, what can we do?

TAKE one of two approaches:
 Face life as it comes
 Make life build your future

Most Often…the challenges…
overpower and overwhelm us.

Unable to deal with them gracefully:

 Sometimes we stumble
 Often, we grumble
 We also crumble…

BECAUSE we lose our poise.
Our attitude is faulty.
Challenges should stimulate us
Obstacles should challenge us
Difficulties should pull out the best in us

IN SHORT:
challenges should get our best performance.

For that, regardless…we must breeze through
all challenges with a smile
BUT…there is more…
In facing challenges…

we should not:
 get exhausted
 lose energy
 lose humour
 lose our smile
 lose sight of our goal(s).

INSTEAD our goals
should so inspire us…
that challenges become the 'fun'
of our journey to reach the goals.
We don’t need to master…
the art of facing challenges…that is easy

We need to MASTER…
the art of enjoying challenges!

Post-2. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. You cannot burn an incense stick and yet not have the room filled with its fragrance. If no fragrance is there, there must be something wrong with the incense stick. It is not a genuine one. 2. Right from the ancient times down to the medieval age, the spiritual ministers, the great devotees and the mystics have given their Experiences and teachings in songs. In this great land, there have been innumerable such devotees and mystics. All of them have reiterated the same truth and spiritual values. If you have a genuine, authentic spiritual life, if you are a real Sadhaka, a devotee of the lord, your interior life must have its inevitable influence and ...

What is happiness? Happiness is to be fully content, to be totally satisfied with oneself; something that is only possible once we have realised our true Self. 1.1. At a practical level : 1. To be happy is to not be swept away by desires and passions (Bhagavad Geeta). 2. We are happy when we have nothing to hide in our life (no skeletons in the closet!), when everything in our life is transparent and we don’t fear any inspection or investigation. 3.
