Real partners of life

Hello friends, in this article, I would like to share a few words about the real partners of our life. the reason behind writing this article is, in this COVID 19 situation many people are losing there hopes on living and doing things that are actually not meant to do that may be due to economic crisis or loss of confidence and becoming merely depressed, so to avoid this problem if we believe in this 5 life partners we merely won't get depressed with the challenges that occur during our lifetime and lead a happy and joyful life.

So friends to know who are real-life partners we have to know about what is life?

According to science, the condition that distinguishes animals and plants from inorganic matter, including the capacity for growth, reproduction, functional activity, and continual change preceding death.¹

 According to Hinduism and some religious traditions, "The origins of life, any of a number of successive existences in which a soul is held to be reincarnated.²

In Christianity and some other religious traditions, it is said that either the two states of a person's existence separated by death.³

 According to the Quran, the purpose of life is to worship the Creator. Allah further states that He made this life in order to test man so that every person may be recompensed after⁴

Purpose of life

According to science the purpose of life is to replicate and evolve. During the course of time organisms on the earth, the comprehensive goal of life was for DNA to replicate successfully. the demand for our genetic material (genes) to adapt, and protect itself, has driven the evolution of every type of species on the planet. 

According to Hinduism, the meaning (purpose) of life is four-fold: to achieve Dharma (righteousness and moral values, it means to act morally and ethically throughout one's life), Artha (prosperity and economic values), Kama (pleasure, love, and psychological values), and Moksha (liberation and spiritual values)⁵

According to the bible, the purpose of life is to praise God, worship him, to proclaim his greatness, and to accomplish His will and knowing and enjoying God is the purpose of life.³

5 real Life partners are 

1. Well-wishers

To know who are our well-wishers we have to know what is wellness?

Wellness is the state of being healthy and knowing about the Ethics, Loyalty, and Legal characteristics of thoughts as we start to grow and learn to drive our life.

Well-wishers are the persons who give strength to us by praying to God for our good health and happiness or success. They will not make us go in the wrong path, they may not do work for us but they show the right path require for our success, when we missed it and going in the wrong path, they make let us know what is right for us and merely not what we want in life. well-wishers can be anyone they may be our friends, family members, teachers, social workers.

Well-wishers are like bitter medicines we feel like avoiding them but really end up with the best results for us

True persons and well-wishers in our life are like stars that shine constantly but often fail to see them till the dark hour come into our lives

2. Knowledge and wisdom

Just knowing the information is not knowledge merely because by acquiring information we might learn how to survive but in reality, knowledge can only be attained by the experience. Because we don't believe the things that we have not experienced/ felt. whatever it may be either true or false, so to know all these we have to get the knowledge which drives us to be intelligent

knowledge is the theoretical or practical understanding of a subject⁶

 knowledge is something which removes impurities ( fear, jealous, lazy, greed, lust, false prestige, ignorance, pride, anger)that are surrounded by us and gives us the experience, modesty, lack of false pride, nonviolence, tolerance, simplicity, approaching to a real spiritual master, cleanliness, consistency, and self-esteem; rejecting of the objects of sense satisfaction, absence of false ego, understanding of the sins of birth, death, old age, and disease; detaching with children, wife, home and the rest, and equanimity among pleasant and unpleasant events; constant and pure devotion to God, make use of alone places, detachment from the general group of people; accepting the importance of self-understanding, and philosophical search for the Absolute Truth-all these are declared to be knowledge, and what is opposite to these is unconsciousness.⁷

According to Dr. Abdul kalam, sir knowledge is defined as creativity + righteousness + courage

He says learning makes us creative, creativity leads to thinking, that gives us knowledge and knowledge makes great 

When beauty in character there is harmony in the home when there is harmony in the home, there is odor in the nation, and when odor in the nation there is peace in the world.

3. Austerity 

Austerity is nothing but our determination and constantly working towards the aim, without giving up for a moment. The sufferings, willful injustices, and plan. Supreme god explains the austerities and self-punishment practiced by the body. He says one should offer or learn to offer proper respect to god or the demigods, the perfect qualified Brahmanas and superiors like father, mother, or conversant with Vedic knowledge. One should practice cleaning oneself externally and internally, and should become simple in behavior.⁸

 4. Being detached

when we think about the objects of the senses, we develop attachment, from this attachments, desires develop, with the desires of results, lust will generate and desires have a character of unsatisfaction and this results in anger, and with anger, lust develops and with lust one forgets knowledge of morals and with loss of knowledge, intelligence is lost, by this bad things will happen and society will become enemy to him and at last this person will be totally destroyed, therefore, one whose senses are restrained from objects of senses attain steady intelligence.⁹

The secret of human living is to act well, without attachment to the results because if we attach with the result we won't be happy, because life is always challenging it plays games with us sometimes we win and sometimes we fail to win, the result is not in our hands, but the work we have to do to win is in our hands so attaching ourselves with work, not with results gives us happiness because we are not affected by results if we win we get success, and if we lose we get the lesson to learn, by this we can guide others not to make mistakes.

5. Self-restraint/ will power

Willpower is the ability to resist short-term gratification in order to achieve long-term goals or objectives. Neuroanatomy of  Willpower is correlated to the prefrontal cortex of our brain, right behind our forehead and eyes which is responsible for abstract thinking, analyzing thoughts, and regulating behavior, the prefrontal cortex of the brain is last to mature, it's development is not complete until around age 25.¹⁰

Will power is an excellent virtue to possess, but it is limited just like the power of the muscle is limited but beyond willpower, there is another power that we can tap into i.e utilization of the intellect, then how we can get inspiration?

To get inspired we need momentum but why we don't get inspired?

It's because the knowledge gets slipped out of intellect and all we need to do is to bring that knowledge back to revise and refresh it. When we remember that we are part of the universe and human life is an opportunity to do something that we want in life, then we automatically feel the inspiration and motivation because human beings are the only creatures in nature who are highly evolved and got the intelligence like the power to listen, think, and speak in a most virtual way and ability to perceive whatever we see, listen or speak.

In our world, there are 2 most powerful superheroes from them we learn much more I.e Sun and Moon 

From the Sun we learn how to be responsible, I.e which looks frightened but actually gives life to nature and Moon is like love, it appears only when light has gone. 

Every day this cycle of sunrise and sunset goes on in nature in a balanced manner, in the same, we have to learn how to balance between love and responsibilities as they are equally important in our life.
