Devotee ; Mota, Why can't we maintain enthusiasm all the time in dealing with life's problems? Even the experiences of happiness does not last for ever . Why is that?
Pujya Shree Mota ; We can not maintain enthusiasm in dealing with problems of life, behavior and society. The reason for this, is the appearance of despair and apathy in our lives. We feel this way because the result of our actions does not meet our expectations all the time, and there may be other obstacles and hinderances also. If we have an understanding, that when you are dealing with life, it is by very nature this kind of outcome is expected and should be accepted.
It is not possible to fulfill 100% of one's ideas and desires, and obstacles, difficulties, puzzles and problems are bound to occur. There is only one way for us to be saved from all these. The way is to maintain peace and satisfaction, no matter what. Gita declares unequivocally " અશાંતસ્ય કુતઃ સુખમ્ ". How can one be happy without peace? If one wants to be happy in any particular field, then only way is to keep and maintain peace. With peace and satisfaction being lively and permanent, there develops certain easiness of intellect and that is very helpful in finding the solutions of our problems in life.
Unhappiness, quarrel, repentance, difficulty, conflict and indecision cause our intelligence to be less effective and that in turn, fails to find solutions of our problems. So it is very important to maintain peace and satisfaction if one wants to succeed in higher fields of life. That is the only way to happiness.
