Do not be materialistic - To be Happy!
this is something every saint has been telling, including Buddha, Jesus, Krishna -
everyone.
Main cause of any problem is due to attachment. Being materialistic is a subset of "being attached", because there will be more things involved when we say "being attached".
If we avoid being materialistic, we can be more happy in life, in a permanent manner!
It is very simply said, but not done!
It is again a choice of things. It is about a small decision you take in various
situations. When there is a time, when you have to decide which one you want - humman or a material. Choose human!
If some action is going to hurt a human or a material. Avoid hurting human.
As someone said it nicely - "If you want to be happy, love people and use things, instead of loving things and using people".
If we just follow this, we should be really happy in life!!
Happy being non-materialistic!!:-)

Coimbatore Wisdom: Giving back to the family and society
Giving back to the family and society
Every man should give back to the family and his society.
If your mother and father are suffering from some difficulty in their olden days and you don't help them or even care for it, you are eligible for a punishment. Yes, that is a SIN.
Even a single drop of tear from your mother's eyes will not let you live properly later in your life.
Whatever happens, do not leave your father and mother behind.
If you want to live happily and get moksha, it is good to have your parents happy as well!!
I think I have talked about giving back to society quite a bit and moreoever it will be covered in other articles later.

Remembering Coimbatore - Compound house
Today I live in one bed room house, which has a hall, bedroom, kitchen, dining hall, restroom, balcony etc., in a liesure manner. When I think back, when I was in school days...
We were a middle class family, living in a small house, which had one room and one kitchen. That belonged to a "compound house". The compound house has five such small "houses". we lived in one of them, which is in the end of the compound.
These kind of houses are of totally different kind. No privacy would be there. Whatever you do, neighbour knows. Even if we don't tell, the neighbour will ask about it. Any guests come, whole street and compound people will know.
I guess my parents might have given Rs.100 to Rs.250 as rent on those days!
When we get inside the home, the first small "space", not room - is the kitchen, where some cooking happens on the floor. we used to have food, by sitting on the floor, just near the stove. If we have made it to gas stove, then we are richest. If you had a kerosene stove, you are richer. if you have the mud stove, which burns with the woods, then you are OK and slightly poor.
Need to explain another space in the small house. This is used as a living room, study room, also bed room and everything is done here. We were three boys, no sisters and my father and mother. In fact, in that small space we had a cot as well. One of us sleep on the cot and all others will sleep on the floor with our legs under the cot!!
In fact, there was ONE common restroom for all the 5 houses(spaces) out there!
We are living a luxurious life today!! All this luxury is all given by my mother and father, by their lot of hard work and sweat! They have worked hard to give us good and quality education and quality food and knowledge!
thank you amma and appa!! I will owe you a lot anytime in my life! Naan ungallukku romba kadamappatturukkaen...
