Jnani on Giving
A poor man asked a Jnani,
“Why am I so poor?”
The Jnani said, “you do not learn to give.”
So the poor man said, “If I’m not having anything?”
Jnani said: “You have a few things,
The Face, which can give a smile;
Mouth: you can praise or comfort others;
The Heart: it can open up to others;
Eyes: who can look the other with the eyes of goodness;
Body: which can be used to help others.”
Your Nature – Swabhava
A mango tree continues to bear more fruits even if stones are pelted at it to make the fruits fall because to bear fruits is its intrinsic nature. You are here to express your true nature, not to be like someone else. Your true nature is the nature you have by birth. Understanding your true nature is critical for your career and happiness.
Purpose of Life
There are two purposes to human life:
- To serve in the area(s) as per your inherent nature in accordance with your conscience,
- Self-Realisation.

Living Through 5 Senses
Living in the present means living through the 5 senses and not allowing mind to take control. When mind takes control, there is too much repetition of thoughts which drains lot of energy and the experience of bliss is lost.
A spiritual practice can be derived taking a clue from Gita 8.7 (all the time remember Me and fight as well) about how to live life though not in the strict sense of the words. While doing any activity keep on living (paying attention) through your senses every now and then. This way, mind will not be able to take over you easily.
