Change your thinking before your age changes

A child is born with his destiny locked in his fist. No matter how much you try to make him open it, he does not open it. This destiny opens only with hard work. In reality, every person has come alone to try his destiny. He got a family, got some wealth, with the effect of age he grows up, builds a house, buys land, employs people, feeds them, rules over many and begs before many. But while leaving, the hands spread themselves, fingers stretch, he takes the closed fist with an open one. This is the strangeness of human life. The destiny that man had brought with him, he got it with hard work, tried it and then went away.

Change is the rule of the world

This strange change is the rule of the world, with these changes in life, not only the body changes, the mind-emotions, thoughts-ideas, resolutions-perceptions, desires, concepts, needs, plans etc. everything changes. People are very fortunate who are able to understand these changes and manage themselves amidst the changes.

Indian sages, after doing research, created four ashrams of life- Brahmacharya, Grihastha, Vanaprastha and Sanyas, to help man manage these changes in the changing world and changing age and gave them the status of highways to make life immortal.

Those who work hard, toil and find satisfaction with these changes, work with body and mind, adopt purity in emotions, surrender their heart and intellect to God-Guru, they remain smiling and full of happiness and satisfaction till the end. In this way, youth passes by rapidly and positively. The life of people connected to Guru-Ishwar passes wonderfully, but complications come with those people who break the discipline of God and Guru. Despite this, the bitter truth is that mood changes with age.

Maintain harmony between age and lifestyle

Even if we adopt the standards set by sages and health science, our mentality and body structure start showing symptoms according to our age. Therefore, it is necessary that a person not only follows the standards set by sages and saints according to age, but also remains cautious by keeping in mind the symptoms that appear according to age. Maintain harmony between age and lifestyle, this is the secret path to a healthy, prosperous and happy life.

After forty years, not stubbornness, but peace and quiet

Science is true that after forty years, the digestive power of the body starts weakening. We get tired while walking, our legs get tired, when we try to go out of the house, our legs stop. The mind becomes sad. It is said that the increasing age of a person and graying hair give the message that now are the days of settling down. It is time for peace and quiet, not stubbornness. Despite this, if we do not try to become calm with time, then we will remain bound for births. This is the age that gives the message of gradually rising above the bonds of the world.

In fact, by the time you reach the age of fifty, your attention should remain a little in the world, but gradually rise above it. This is a great necessity for a happy life. In such a situation, practice something like take whatever food you get. It should be of my choice, I have to wear this, my room should be like this, my bed should be like this, I should get so much money, etc., rise above this and eat whatever I get, sleep on whatever bed I get. Whatever meditation the family members have done is fine. Spend time on the efforts of chanting and meditation and being tolerant, keeping your tongue silent, speaking less and paying very little attention to the matters of the world. This is the age of practice before attaining humanity, efforts for attaining humanity should be made such as 'this is my child', rather than seeing affinity in everyone. Because those whom you consider blood relation, those who are tied to you in blood relation, when they do not help, then they will be sad. They will complain, so as age increases, keep affection and love for children, but children grow up, make them capable, they become capable of flying, start doing their own work, it is better to leave them.

Making God and Guru a partner

The next stage is Vanprastha. It is said that preparation for the last part of life is done in this. Vanprastha means this is the age of detachment towards family and sensitivity towards people. Thinking about the welfare of the society in which you are living even while staying at home. Keep reducing your needs, if possible make the unhappy and suffering people around you partners in your earnings. Make God and Guru a partner. Invest your talent, labor, time in service, charity. Wishing for everyone's well-being is the objective of Vanprastha.

Everyone knows that as age increases, all powers weaken, all the power is concentrated in the tongue, man talks a lot. He keeps on interfering, will say something or the other to others, but the people involved in the experiments of Vanprastha become sensitive by the time they reach that age. A person understands that this is the right path by giving blessings, increasing good feelings and wishing well for everyone. He happily says that the future time has to be spent for the benefit of his life. He resolves to create the right situation till retirement. So that after retirement, after the marriage of children, he can easily awaken the feeling of devoting the latter part of his life to the service of Guru-Ishwar Ashram. He can spend a blessed life.

Remember that we are conscious elements

For this, small plans must be made in advance. Spend as much time on health as you spend on earning livelihood. Take out time for entertainment, read good books. In this way, life can be enjoyed only when there is proper planning in life. In today's era, life has to be given a lot of importance.

That is why it is necessary to organize things. For this, when you sit down to eat, do not be worried, do not eat in a hurry, do not be tensed, so be careful, the strength, body, so many pores inside the body that God has given, we should try to keep sweating and awakening devotion with it. Determine the time properly, remember that we are conscious elements, we have come to meet consciousness. We have come to attain salvation, to enjoy, to complete the penance of many births.

So keep purifying your eligibility. When such a person reaches seventy or eighty, due to the practice done before, he does not feel sad no matter what situation comes. He remains happy till the end. Because at this stage, whatever thing is settled in the nature, only that will be useful. When we were engaged in devotion, all those things start coming out. Therefore, to handle old age, the practice of devotion to God and Guru is necessary.

When we are young, we like small things, we like games and toys. As one grows older, one starts liking wealth and worldly desires. But as one progresses, one feels that these things were useless in this world. In such a state of mind, only the right practice done with age brings happiness, peace and health.
