10 GREATEST LIFE CHANGING LESSONS FROM THE RAMAYANA!

1. To be happy always is something which is difficult to achieve. That is to say, happiness and sorrow alternate in one’s life and there cannot be uninterrupted happiness alone.

2. Enthusiasm has great strength.  There is no greater strength than enthusiasm.  There is nothing which is not attainable in this world for the enthusiastic.

3. Anger is the enemy which takes one’s life. Anger is enemy with the face of a friend. Anger is like a very sharp sword.  Anger destroys everything.

4. Only the timid and the weak leave things to destiny (daivam) but the strong and the self-confident never bank on destiny or luck (bhagya).

5. If a person is gifting away his elephant but his heart is set on the rope used for tying the elephant, of what use is his attachment to the rope when he is giving away the elephant itself.

6. A Veena cannot exist without its strings. A chariot cannot exist without its wheels. Without her husband a woman can never live happily even though she has hundred sons.

7. Grief destroys one’s courage. It destroys one’s learning. It destroys one’s everything. There is no enemy greater than grief.

8. Only a person’s conduct and character proclaim whether he is born in a good family or whether he is boasting about himself or whether he is unblemished (shuchih) or blemished (ashuchih).

9. Just like drops of water on lotus leaves do not stick to the leaves, in the same way is the friendship with people who lack character.

10. Not getting depressed, frustrated or dejected is the basis for all prosperity and happiness.
