Advertising and marketing giants know how hard it is for us to pass up a free offer. They also know that the only way we’ll do it is if what’s on offer has no value to us. So their mission is to convince us that the reason our life has lost its zip is because we don’t have the particular product or service they are being paid to promote. And incase we’re not quite sure, to seal the deal we’re pushed over the edge with the irresistible “Buy 2 Get 1 Free!” mantra. In today’s matter crazed world we can also easily pass on spirituality because we don’t see how it could add any punch to our party. After all, what do you really get out of “being spiritual”? Because it’s so rare to find someone who has actually achieved what is available in spiritual pursuits, this mindset is, unfortunately, understandable.
What is available through a genuine non-material lifestyle? Bhakti wisdom lists two observable items, with genuine happiness being number one on the list. That means happiness which is not based or dependent on anything external, which has no distress mixed in, and which is always increasing. The second item is the dedicated effort to give the opportunity for that kind happiness to others. As Bhagavad Gita explains:
“Because the Bhaki Yogi is truly happy due to connection to the Supreme, out of compassion he or she tries to hard share this connection with others.”
Believe it or not these people, although few and far between, are out there. And they can help add the greatest value to our lives, if we’ll let them.
There are few things more aggravating to parents than a kid who “doesn’t try.” Whether it’s math homework, dance class or those guitar lessons they begged for but now never practice, we want our children to be eager learners who embrace effort, relish challenges and understand the value of persistence.
