Happy New Year
Greetings & Best Wishes
Don't you feel the year went by so quickly, that we didn't even realize?
We had wished and greeted each other a happy new year. But if we check today that the year that went by was it really filled with happiness each day? was there a newness each day of the year?
because we greeted each other it was Happy year and a New year which means New year should be filled with newness. and also filled with Happiness. Never mind, Once again the year has changed. It is again a day of newness. It marks a new beginning once again. as this year begins, let us finish matters from the past. for example, one day if curd at home tastes bitter or sour, if we use that sour curd to curdle and prepare the next day's curd, then even on the next day, curd will be sour. it will be sour even on the next day and next.... and we will eat sour curd for a life time. which means we need to discard that sour curd in some days. and start with fresh curd. that analogy is comparable to our new year. that we let go of our old sanskars. we release our old thoughts. the knots of conflicts that we created in our relationships , we will finish them today. because if we carry all these things and begin our new year, then what will be new, How can there be happiness? Just as the past year passed, the new year will also pass by similarly . Or it may not even be similar to previous year. because if we continue with the same sanskars and thoughts, then this year might actually become little more difficult than previous year.
So this is the day not just to wish each other, but to first of all, it is the day to give ourselves a blessing. Bless yourself, greet yourself, that today is a new moment, a new beginning. where all matters from the past are finished. All of us set resolutions for the new year. We think of doing a lot of things. We say - we will start doing this , we will behave this way, we will give up this habit . but sometimes our new year resolution sustain only for few days. after a week or two, our old habits and memories seem to come back into our life. So when we create an intention , along with the intention we need determination.
Today is the day, when we need to create a very powerful thought. Let us sow the seed of thought today.
That from today, I begin a new sanskar. A new way of thinking. A new way of behaving. Just think of one aspect. Don't take too many things on the 1st day itself. we will sow one seed. And then every morning, we will connect to God, and nurture that seed with the water of determination. by deciding on just one day , a habit does not change. but we shall sow the seed today and every morning, pour on that seed the water of discipline and determination .
So choose any one sanskar of yourself, about a habit which you want to change. We need to fill this year with happiness. Getting angry, getting upset over small issues, not being able to let go of past and then saying - I don't want to talk to that person from now. These were habits of past year.
Today is a new day, a new year , a new beginning , and a new Me. So Happiness Always.
So that we will say, I don't get angry because I have left it behind in the previous year and the conflict in the relationship s. We understand , it was their behavior, their sanskar . perhaps they have also changed today. But we, for sure, have changed from today. Let us make a new beginning from today. Think of that person today, and send them blessings. Send them good wishes.
Beside, today is a good day. Call them up and speak to them on phone. so that conflicts from the past are resolved today. Sometimes it is difficult to open the knots so let us not make efforts to open them. because sometime when we try to open the knots , it get more entangled. Likewise, in our relationships , so many incidents from the past come up. So instead of conflicts getting resolved , the relationships becomes more complicated. So let us try not to open the knots. Lets just cut and throw that part, and make a new beginning. Past is past, Its over. Call them today and speak to them, Or meet them. Its a beautiful day to make new beginning. New Thought. New Sanskar. A New way of living. Our destining will change. In order to do this every day, in order to sustain these changes in us, with determination , Every Morning spend 30 Minutes with yourself, for self care, self nourishment, self energizing . Because the one who needs to all these is our mind. This is our responsibility to make our mind powerful and energized. So every morning take 30 minutes to nurture your mind .
Read and listen to spiritual wisdom soon after waking up every morning. Connect to God and practice meditation. Make the mind so powerful, so that we think only the right thoughts, we speak only respectful words, Do only that karma that are divine. because we have made the mind powerful, early in the morning.
So the new year resolution should be, I will take care of myself. We will start taking care of ourselves. and a person who take care of themselves , will be able to handle everything else comfortably, with ease and simplicity.
So Add another small pledge to your new year resolution - That i will take out 30 minutes every morning for myself.
A Year of Happiness , Health and Harmony and together we will create Heaven on this earth. Happy New Year Once Again
