HOW TO MAINTAIN HAPPINESS IN JOINT FAMILY

You may have mental struggles since there is interaction with many people while performing the given tasks. This may lead to mental strain, irritability and agitation. This in turn leads to loss of peacefulness in the mind. Bhavna and naam-smaran disappears from the mind. As a result we waste our hard earned precious achievements in our lives. Hardly any soul recognizes this effect. We will learn a lot if we make an effort with knowledge to learn to keep peace, harmony and equanimity in every work and circumstances in dealing with others and keep heartfelt goodness, love and mental generosity towards them. We may have to let go many times but this in itself is a kind of penance. Our lives will be shining beacon of light if there is pure bhavna (to let go) with the heartfelt love and devotion.
