On day 5 of Itarasi Bhagavat Katha, Pujya Bhaishri guides us on two areas that will help make our life joyful and a celebration should we implement it.
There are no issues with things in this world. The issues are on how we utilise these things. Sometimes, a trickle of poison can act as medicine while an overdose of medicine can turn into poison. There will be no problems in this world if things are used with discipline and correct discrimination.
No one attains freedom in this world by opposing it. The wise have become free by learning from it. We do not need to leave this material world. Instead, we need to understand it. God has made trees, plants, flowers, fruits, rivers, forests, mountains etc. for us to enjoy.
One who defames the world is indirectly defaming God. For example, when one denigrates a picture, the defame will be considered to be of the artist and not the picture.
Everything belongs to God. It will not take long for life to turn into a celebration if we understand how to use something at the right time, in the right way, in the right place and for the right purpose.
