Devotion

लगन

: Dr. Manoj Kumar Patel :




Devotion must be continuous, uninterrupted, like the flow of oil from one vessel to another. Without love (Prema प्रेम), nothing in this world can be acquired. Only when there is love does attachment (anuraaga अनुराग) in its turn produce the desire to protect and guard. In the young-of-the-monkey path of the surrender (markata kishora nyaya मर्कट किशोर न्याय), the child has to rely on its own strength to protect itself — wherever the mother might jump about, the child has to attach itself fast to the mother’s belly and not release its hold, even if pulled apart! So too, the devotee must stand the test at the hands of the Lord and hold on to the Lord’s name at all times and under all conditions, tirelessly, without the slightest trace of dislike or disgust, bearing the ridicule and the criticism of the world and conquering the feelings of shame and defeat. The wonderful example of this type of devotion is that first among devotees, Prahlada (प्रहलाद).

Wear the garland of Devotion Gems round your neck and saturate your thought, word, and deed with Divine Love.

But as we grow chronologically, layers of impurities get settled over our pure hearts, and gradually these get spoiled. We do not take diligent care, the way we take care of our jewelry, to keep our hearts shining. We ignore the layers of dirt over it. A stage comes when the pure heart does not become visible and it is the dirt only that reflects from our personality. How can dirt reflect rays of shines? We should take care of our Golden Heart so that the Heart remains resplendent.

Economic Recovery post-covid19: a Layman’s Viewpoints : Dr. Manoj Kumar Patel : Economy and Economics: An economy encompasses all activity related to production, consumption, and trade of goods and services in an area. An economy applies to everyone from individuals to entities such as corporations and governments. A region's economy is connected with things like how many goods and services are produced and how much money people can spend on these things. The economy is measured by the Gross Domestic Product or GDP. When the GDP growth rate turns negative, the economy enters a recession. The most important part of the economy is consumer spending. So, as a rule of thumb, more the transactions and spending by the consumers better is the economy of that country. Thus money should be available in the hands of the consumers. The other three components are business expenditures, government spending, and net e...
