I think its comforting, yet convicting, to realize we can’t simply "study" our way into being a good person. We have to "fake it until we make it," practicing courage and calm like a musician practices scales until the virtue finally starts to play itself....thanks for sharing, Doug.
क्या आप जानते हैं कि भगवान की शरणागति कैसे प्राप्त होती है?
शरणागति का अर्थ है — अपने समस्त कर्मों को ईश्वर को समर्पित करते हुए, निरंतर उनके नाम का ध्यान और जप करना, और जीवन को संयम, ब्रह्मचर्य तथा निष्कामता से जीना।
आप प्रभु के दिव्य नाम "ॐ आनन्दमय ॐ शान्तिमय" का निरंतर, ध्यानपूर्वक जप करें — प्रातः से रात्रि तक, अपने सभी सत्कर्मों के साथ।
यही मानव जीवन का परम उद्देश्य है — इसी जन्म में दिव्यता को प्राप्त करें, यह अमूल्य अवसर न गँवाएँ। 🌺
Do you know how to attain surrender to God?
How To Surrender To God: chant the God's name continuously and meditatively alongside all your righteous deeds selflessly and live a restraint life full of celibacy.
I would encourage you to chant the divine mantra of God "Om Anandmay Om Shantimay" constantly as mentioned above along with all your righteous actions from morning to bed time.
🙏Achieve the divine in this human birth only don't miss this precious opportunity. This is the aim of human birth as defined by God.
It’s so reassuring that virtue is a thing we can acquire, not something we are born with or gifted! I’m going to go and fake things I need to develop and keep on practicing! Thank you for this post
In the end it's all about practice. Practice makes permanence, and practice takes patience and drive. I believe we want to be better and when we find ease in virtue I think it's safe to say we're good people. Excellent piece, thank you!
A very interesting article. Intellectual virtues are acquired by “talking the talk”
and character virtues requires you to “ walk the walk” to achieve them . I was reminded of the fact that our lives are made up of a series of habits . So, we literally are creature of habit
