why do good people suffer inumerable accidents, disasters, health crisis, problems, in life. ?
Is there a cosmic theory behind all this ?.
what does our ancient texts say about all this ?
what is the real secret of life, ?.
In summary:
Too much of Fame, Popularity, Beauty, Happiness, peace, Luck, Big Houses, Property, Gold, Diamonds, wealth, extra marital affairs, success, successful Careers, flashy lifestyle, unlimited spending, are all a curse to the Humans !!
when some one buys a big house, or property, within months, some problems come up from nowhere, health issues, accidents, crisis etc... Or when they get promoted as a Director or VP of a company, some family problems start.
Similarly when people get lucky & make a lot of money from lottery, they lose it all, or die under mysterious circumstances.
Princess Diana had everything - extreme beauty, Royal, enormous fame & cult popularity, married to Prince Charles - future king in waiting, and it was all taken away from her tragically. Similarly Helen of Troy sunk an extra-ordinary kingdown - extreme beauty brings with it enormous curse !!
Thats why grandmothers used to tell very beautiful girls to dress down !! The evil eyes of people (othwerwise known as Jealousy) have a huge effect & creates problems for us. thats why you should avoid flashy lifestyle, houses, cars etc.. so that you avoid attention.
Have you heard of any celebrity living for 100 yrs, none that I have heard of, but you will find some obscure, old man in Japan living for 140 yrs !!.
Steve Jobs was a great genius, inventor, billionaire, made path breaking innovation, cult popularity & following, but unfortunately cut short by cancer.
Remember when people say, they were a perfect couple with perfect life, it is mostly in the past, because some accident or disaster takes it all away !
so when people debate that - " we can have it all" - NO you cannot have it all !!!. Sorry thats the reality, so you should never chase for having everything.
for eg, those who take Drugs experience heights of pleasure, but it chips away at life itself !!. Because you are not allowed to enjoy to that extent !!. those who say life is to enjoy & and go around freaking out in life, end up with disasters !!
So, if you analyse all the people whom we know very well, you can see a pattern in most of our lives.
Thats why all the great kingdoms in the past - Troy/Lanka, Egyptian Civilization, Babylon, Rome, Vijayanagar empire etc.. went down in tragedy !! All these empires reached phenomenal heights of prosperity & happiness, people were all merry making & living happily all the time.
so what do we do ? Is there a solution to all this ?. some way to prevent this ?
our ancient Gurus gave up all lives pleasures, never married, became celibate & they lived very long lives. Many of the people I know are great followers of many swamijis & they all routinely claim these Swamijis are 160 yrs old, 300 yrs old etc.. & I never believed in them till I started investigating this. It is like the nectar of life, you can have it, but NEVER DRINK IT, u can only give it to others to save their lives !!
so that is life's paradox, u want a long long life with out any problems, u have to give up everything !!
It is not possible to live a life away from all this in today's world and one needs money for survival !!
So my view is that one should make enough money but never spend it other than the absolute essentials in life !!.
Live like Warrren Buffet who still travels in economy class, owns the same old house he bought 40 yrs back. if you live like Kennedy's, then you will get hit with untimely disasters !!
Give your money to charity, serve people, make their lives better. It is not only immoral, it is unethical for some of us to enjoy our lives, when billions are suffering in absolute poverty.
Safety & security of our lives & our families lie in our life's struggle, serving other people, once the struggle is gone, & peace & happiness descends, problems come swiftly.
It is not a coincidence that Warren Buffet works 14+ hrs a day even today when he is 80+ yrs old & he has given most of his wealth to Charity. Similarly Bill Gates.
Continue to work all your life, even beyond retirement.
Serve people all your life, work for them, get your families involved, ensure the kids dont enjoy your wealth - remember all the super rich families have suffered great tragedy - Rockfeller, Kennedys, etc.. because if the father works all his life to earn money, the sons/grand sons enjoys the wealth as though there is no tomorrow leading to disaster.
Build a family culture of Charity work, moderation, Obscure & modest living, strong work culture, - our safety & security & longetivity lies herein.
