say, “I will not buy another jacket or pair of shoes [or anything]<br />

until the ones that I have are broken, torn or no<br />

longer fit me.” Rather than say, “I will try to overcome my<br />

anger, lust and greed,” we must commit to having daily<br />

appointments with God in which we introspect on all the<br />

times we allowed ourselves to be overpowered by these<br />

emotions and we must pray for strength, DAILY, to be remain<br />

calm, peaceful and sattvic in our lives.”<br />

If we wait for the right time, that time will never come.<br />

THE PAIN IS ALL IN OUR<br />

PERSPECTIVE<br />

A man once went to see a doctor complaining of aches and<br />

pains all over his body. “Doctor my whole body hurts me,”<br />

he moaned. The doctor asked him to show exactly where<br />

the pain was.<br />

The man explained, “When I touch my shoulder, it hurts.<br />

When I touch my back it hurts. When I touch my legs, they<br />

hurt.”<br />

The doctor did a thorough examination and told the man,<br />

“Sir, there is nothing wrong with your body. Your finger is<br />

broken. That is why it hurts wherever you touch. Get your<br />

finger plastered, rest it for a couple of weeks and all of<br />

your pains will disappear.”<br />

In life so frequently it is our own perspective that causes us<br />

pain. As we go through life “feeling” the world with our<br />

fingers, if our finger is broken naturally we will experience<br />

pain everywhere. But, we make the mistake of blaming<br />

the external world for our ailments: “My job is over-taxing,<br />

my husband is too demanding, my wife nags, my children<br />

are disobedient, my in-laws don’t understand me, etc.<br />

etc.” But if you look throughout the world you will be able<br />

to find someone who has the same type of job but is calm,<br />

or someone who has the same type of spouse but is happy,<br />
