FOUR THINGS A MAN SHOULD NEVER FORGET

By HH Shri Bhola Nathj i(1902-1992) a Great Spiritual Luminary of our times who have peace and beatitude to countless people during his lifetime, relieving them of their sorrows and sufferings.

"There are four important things in life which a man should never forget:

1. The first is God, the Creator of everything in existence, who is All Powerful and the Source of Eternal Happiness, and who is constantly with man and who can make his journey of life smooth and comfortable, give him peace and prosperity both.
By remembering him man will only gain strength in the difficult moments of life and find happiness and success in life.
Even an atheist has to call out to Someone when in great distress in life, and that Someone is God.
By keeping God with himself man does not stand to lose anything. Rather he gains a powerful friend who is with him even when no one else in the world is with him.

2. The second in importance is Death. Man must never forget Death and always remember that his life is progressing towards Death which is the end of Life. By remembering Death man will not be overly worried or concerned about material successes or failures, as both will vanish one day as if in a dream, when Death comes. Death is an awakening from the dreams of life. Death is the conversion of one beautiful form to another. It is the precursor to a new life in another plane. How you live here will determine how you live in the hereafter after Death.

3. Remember to forget the goodness you see in yourself. Because any goodness you see in yourself will give way to pride and make you feel superior to others, and this will eventually give way to discord and will not be pleasing to God either. God likes those who are humble.

4. Remember to forget the evil that you see in others. Because when you recall the evil that you see in others, the evil will become like a dreadful thorn in your heart which will prick you all the time. If you meditate upon a thorn you will become like a thorn yourself. If you meditate upon a flower you will become like a flower."
