“Life Lessons The most important element in having lifelong connections is like-mindedness. When people of similar and equal disposition connect with one another, an amalgam is formed that is inseparable under any kind of pressure, time frame, or circumstance. To have strong relationships, like-mindedness is mandatory. When there is a cultural similarity in upbringing, a lot of equations are already in sync without even putting in effort. Culture influences food habits, language, thought process, priorities, choice of clothes, and hygiene, to name a few. If, in addition to a cultural match, there is like-mindedness, the likelihood of the relationship lasting the test of time is much higher. In relationships, wealth is probably the lamest and weakest link. Special skills, work experience, and talents are also flimsy reasons. Mystical powers and predictive abilities never guarantee magical relationships either. Nothing else can substitute like-mindedness in an enduring relationship.”

“Life Lessons Not all answers can be found in books and not all learned men have presence of mind. Knowledge is all about theory but wisdom is the practical application of theories. To succeed in academics, you need to be knowledgeable, but to succeed in life, you need to be practical. While most people try to be theoretically right, successful people try to be practically right. While school gives you information, the school of life gives you wisdom. Solutions to life’s problems do not lie in some corner of the box of knowledge. Usually, it floats around in the expansive skies of wisdom. That is why these solutions are called out-of-the-box thinking. Seek not to just cultivate knowledge but to cultivate wisdom. In wisdom lies the secret of growth, success, and creativity.”

“Most muscles in our body are involuntary, working automatically without our control or sanction. With such limited control, how can one feel in control of the world?”

“Life Lessons Everything begins with an intention. Our destiny is shaped by our earnest intentions. Our intentions are shaped by our deepest desires. Every building was initially only an intention in the mind of the architect. That is why it is said that we build our destiny using the bricks of our intentions. To change one’s destiny, one should begin by inspecting the seed of one’s intentions. After all, intentions are more important than actions. When you sow the seed of your intention in the field of possibilities, you can grow the crop of your destiny. Many people lament a bad crop of destiny. This is because they have never spent time curating their intentions. When you plant bad seeds, you harvest a bad crop. We often set out to do something but get distracted from our goals over cheap thrills. Good intentions come from focussing on the goal, not on cheap thrills. Distractions destroy true intentions.”

“Interestingly, Dasaratha had the option of giving the last portion of the dessert to either of his wives; yet he chose to give it to Sumitra. Why? Kaushalya of course had the first major portion and was going to bear the Supreme Lord in her womb, so there was no question of one more child in the same womb. Although Keikeyi was Dasaratha's favorite and was the most beautiful, he felt that Sumitra's beauty was much greater because of her spirit of cooperation and service. Sumitra is called Srilekha not because of her opulence or wealth, but because of a good consciousness and desire to serve and assist others. Wherever there is the spirit of divine cooperation and non-enviousness, there is Sumitra's opulence. People like Sumitra help create a firm bonding within the family.”
― Shubha Vilas, Rise of the Sun Prince

“Life Lessons It is not enough to have faith; one also needs to have intelligence. Intelligence gives you the ability to discriminate between the choices you make. Choices made without discrimination are usually unreliable. While the role of faith is more feeling-based, the role of intelligence is more logic-based. When it comes to important choices in life, involve both logic and feeling. First, use intelligence to discriminate well, and when the choice is made, use your feelings to experience your choice deeply. Unfortunately, people do the exact opposite. They use faith first and enter into something and then begin to use their intelligence to create doubts about their choice. When choice is based on intelligence, doubts are eliminated first, and faith follows.”
