We know the lion by his claw

All living creatures including human beings are full of emotion. Human beings being rational beings have five senses of organs. These organs command their mind and they react in no time. Those who are guided by the brain but not by the senses of organs can be happy human beings. But those who are guided by senses of organs react and they cannot use their brain well. When they feel happy they smile, when they feel shattered they look gloomy. A tear in the eye is the wound of the heart or some sorts of casualties in the eyes or entry of some small insects in the eyes.

To be happy no one needs wealth, kiths and keens but his regular practice of giving up greed that can keep him content. We know how happy or desperate they are. It’s visible. We know the lion by his claws whether it is strong or weak or whether it can kill its prey or not. Hence no one should boast what he has but has to worry about why he cannot give up geed and devote to the Gods and Goddess. Here Gods mean not only the supernatural power but the being inside each one’s body is the soul. Each soul of every human being is the God to everyone. Human beings can lie to their audiences but not to their Gods. Therefore, everyone has to be aware of the existence of God in this universe and omnipresent of the Gods. Seeing or judging each and every event through positive lens is the way to keep happiness.

No one human being should be as jack of all master of known. It’s true that a wise man never knows all, only fools know everything. If we judge human beings in our society we can see that those who have little knowledge they act as if they have known everything but the wise one listens carefully and speaks a little.  Hence, a few words spoken by wise ones worth more than the thousand words spoken by fools. A wise never feels hesitation to tell the truth. He knows the worth of truth too.  Though a speaker of truth has no friend he never gets afraid.  At the end truth triumphs. A wise one is able to come out of the fear. Fear that human beings posses are dangerous. Fear makes the wolf bigger than he is. Giving up fear and greed makes everyone strong and content.

A beginning is easy continuing is hard. If someone sees something else very good for his health and practice it seems very easy while doing by others but it may be difficult for him to do himself. Hence before beginning to put any project into effect, has to think twice. It’s very difficult to continue the deed he has begun. Everyone has to develop good habit of spending his money well. He has to use it properly. Spending extravagantly is the stupidity of human follies. He should not use the sword kill a fly. Hence, the proverb says- Do not draw your sword to kill a fly. Before advocating something else, everyone has to be aware of it. If not it may be useless too. Hence everyone has to know that ashes fly back into the face of him who throws them.
