Improvement of Nature

Pride and selfishness are two major vices. They spoil the mature of a person, and they not only hurt other but also lead one to downfall. If one removes these feelings of vanity and selfishness one’s nature will get improved.
On one side the man wants to meet his mind’s wish whereas on the other he wants to get his desired things. Every moment he waits for the opportunity to get money, respect reverence or comforts of his life.’ When he nurtures such feelings in his mind, his inherent nature becomes vile So undoubtedly pride egoism or selfishness lonely spoils the nature of a person..
One should try to be egoless
“One should remain unpretentious without nurturing ill will in the mind whatever benefits life offers one should always dwell in contentment.
(Sri Ram Charitmanas. Uttar Kand: 45.1)
One who remains guileless an behaves
Naturally with everyone,
The Lord helps such a devotee attain salvation.”
The recollections of those who behave guilelessly even towards fraudulent people, and who nurture the habit of ‘being beneficent towards evil doers gives peace of mind. Is it stremous to attain such simplicity and artlessness? You have to exert yourself in practicing deceit because for that you will have to scheme some crooked plan in your mind whereas artless behavior does not rewire any sort of artfulness. It is true that hypocrisy and disguise needs forged documentation. Even then one tends to err or default at one paint of time or the other. When the person unpretentiously he enjoys every moment of his life. Abandon pride and selfishness and think about the welfare of others. How to make others happy? Always think and try to devise various means for the welfare of others. Think how you can help others to experience peace and happiness thought and by inculcating noble traits in them. You should not be worried even if you have no wealth knowledge ability power or position. In spite of having nothing your benevolent feeling will improve your nature. On the contrary your nature will get spoiled if you nature falsehood deceit egotism dogmatism and self assertion. Such a vile nature will afflict you even in the mortal sheaths of birds or animals. It will not let you live happily even in these lower births. One with a good nature will definitely live happily even in the lower births an if he is a human being he will attain excellence.
Man has the privilege to improve his nature. Someone with money can purchase only in the market. Nome can ever think of buying anything in the woods. So this world is like a big market. Here everything is available. Make use of it by improving your nature purifies your mind in this market of human life. One the human birth is over you will remain as you are. You will not be able to make any improvement afterwards. You nature may worsen in lower births but it is very difficult to find anything good in those births. Even if you do it will ephemeral and not spiritual. You cannot improve your nature. A good trainer may impart some knowledge only to lead a disciplined life; other wise bad habits will continue to torment the whole life.
When an animal develops bad habits at a young age, it turns out to be nuisance to everyone. Upon begins ittitated it learns to hit back. It has to suffer beating throughout its life. So one can learn a bad habit even while in the sheath of an animal. Hence in a nutshell evils and vices are attainable even in lower births. The opportunity to attain goodness is possible only in human birth. Here too, not all the time. When one gets satsang sublime thoughts and scripture on should not miss the precious opportunity and try to cultivate goodness in oneself.
“It is great fortune that you have secured a human body which as all the scripture declare is difficult even for the gods to attain.”
We have attained this human body, which even gods find difficult to attain then why not make use of it? Why not improve our nature? Why not purify and sanctity it? Thereafter you will enjoy all of life because every beings disposition whether god or bad remains always with him. So wherever you go improve your nature an purify it.
A bandon pride and selfishness and think how to do well to others how can happiness to and bring about the welfare of others using your might mind intellect abilities potentialities power, position ect. Such feeling will purify your heart to such an extent that even others will get purified by your glace.
“One who doesn’t afflict others through body mind or words,
Thulsidasji sys the darshan of such a one destroys sins.”
The darshan of such a grant person relieve the being of his sins. You all can staunch a state in your life. Mirabai didn’t give anything to us. But listening to her poems gives us peace of mind singing them cultivates devotion to God. We all revere Mirabai because her mind was full of divine love and beneficent feelings. She never came in our midst but her sublime mature continues to elevate us. And we like her precepts her poems practically everything because her mind was pure. Mirabai’s mother sin law respectable to her but no baby knows even her name. Whereas mirabai because renowned not only in her own country but she attained international acclaim also. She became renowned not by desire for name and fame but only due t her devotion to God.
In order to carry their names forward, householders wish to have a son. Most of them are bossed with sons but virtually their name never. Acquired posts and potation but could not hold on to them for long. What to talk of ohers? Today even the descendents do not remember the name of their predecessors several generations back so do devotional practices. I am say whether your name will become know to other or not but you will certainly attain salvation and the entire world will be greatly benefited. Therefore improve your nature and purify it. How will you do it?
Abandon self assertiveness. Give up pride and respect others and do good to them. Instead to being dogmatic it is better to give significance to her even if the opinions of both are logical. Such a fair practice also helps in improving one’s own nature
