Think Beyond Your Own Self to Be Happy
During his visit to London in November last year, Dr. Satpathy was interviewed by Zee TV (UK). Following are some of the key learning from the interview:
In order to be happy, You need to think beyond your own self. Help and serve others. If one doesn’t accept this voluntarily, it would be forced upon him by time.
Be a Role-model for your Children.
Possess only as much (things) as you can Manage.
Remain Ordinary. Be Humble. Humility is a great Strength. The most difficult thing in life is to remain Ordinary and keep everything “normal” around us.
It takes a lot of Sacrifice and Practice to develop Compassion inside us. It requires Time and Effort, and has an associated Cost.
Use your “God-given Capital” (give a sweet smile, and loving touch to people around you. use palatable language.)
Simplify your Life. Avoid the Avoidables.
Rituals and Spiritual practices are the Process (in self-realization) and not an End in itself.
Turn your Pain into Creativity.
Appreciate the Sacrifices made by your Parents in rearing you and Respect them. There is no one greater than one’s Mother.
