Simple Life and High Thinking

Man has entered into 21st Century and progressed much beyond the imagination. He dreamt of flying and today it is possible for any person to fly. Science has contributed much to our daily life in every aspect. Earlier man built big monuments like the Pyramids in Egypt, the Taj Mahal in India and many more mangnificient structures with his hand power but today he has machines to accomplish such great tasks. He just need to operate those. Also, in future using Artificial Intelligence, he will have robots for doing even such basic operations. Each and every task has been automated.
But Human is deviating from his mole motto of his life. Simplicity has been somewhat deep buried away from Life. He has forgotten the name of God and lost all the Goodness. He want to get more and more to overtake others. Life has become so hectic that one does not has time to chant few words admiring God. One should lead a simple life. Simplicity is the key to peace and happiness. All the man made comfort comes packaged with some pain hidden within. Simplicity beholds all the comfort within it. Simple life doen not means that one should go to exile and live in isolation from the world. One shold try to get into the frame of simplicity in the present world. One should take some time out for meditation and admiration of the God. It provides the chance to move away from this hectic world and relax. Another important aspect of life is the way of thinking. Some people speak uselessly and some doesn't speak at all. Excess of anything is bad. One should think twice before proceeding to any work, be it action or speech. One should acquire the skill of deep and high thinking. People with such high mindset speak less and every words of their are worth listening. It is truly said that Speech is silver and Silence is Gold. Person who speak less are given more attention in the society. High thinking doesn't involves the thoughts of being rich or high in the society in terms of wealth. It refers to the way of thinking and depth of mind. In present time welath and science, both cannot be ignored. But everything has its threshold which should never be crossed. If one has enough money, he should contribute a part of it for some good work. This too provides peace and happiness to our mind. So, one should try to lead a Simple life and have High thinking.

    How thoughtful your words are and yes society heading for 21st century life style. It does not mean disaster but more painful then just disaster because disaster you could survive but self disaster you may never get over with because it stays forever and something forever which stayed within you, it shall lead you to self destruction where no human could survive. You may have wealth, houses, cars, name in society but for yourself? Nothing but 24/7 and 365 daily duties towards your unknown goal which never accomplice's. It is like 21st century recession everyone owes everyone but no one pays anyone? Isn't it funny because how could everyone owes everyone and no one pays anyone yet some have warehouses of wealth yet they have nothing to pay to anyone? Are they following devil's code or is devil following theirs code? who are they? We know mayavadi but who are these mayavadi's?
