LAWS OF PROSPERITY IN THE HOME :5. Swami Chidananda

CHAPTER - 5.HOW TO CHOOSE A PROFESSION.

1.
Similarly, your social life should not become mere frivolity, dissipation, extravagant entertainment and a waste of time, energy and money in meaningless status keeping.


Social life has to be constructive, creative, ennobled by fellowfeeling,
compassion and the spirit of sharing.


It must be gainful in terms of increased happiness, welfare and benefit to all beings amidst whom Providence has placed you.

2.

Be helpful to your brothers and sisters.


Desire to serve your own neighbour.


Desire to serve the society, nation, all creatures, even plants and insects. Desire to be serviceful to all.



And do not forget that great being who gives us life itself—our Mother Earth. Without pure water and, clear air, thick forests and fertile pastures, life on Earth cannot continue in a healthy manner.


Already so many species have become extinct due to greed and selfishness.


This will be our fate also unless great effort is put forth to turn the tides.


Let your time be spent in these worthwhile pursuits.
