Now a days every body is facing lot of stress in his life ;whether he is a child ,a youngman or an old person.A child right from his early stage is over burdened with books allotted to him for reading, home work to complete and computer work to learn.His stress level reaches to highest when examinations approach fast.He remains worried not only for his syllabus but also what will happen if he does not succeed.What will be the reaction of his parenets,his friends and fans and the elders etc and that how he would face the insult.If at all he is from a family which is just hand to mouth resources,his failure coupled with financial crisis is also a matter for stress for him.Very recently few childrens have committed suicide in the famous Metro city of India Mumbai(Bombay),one can imagine the level of their stress.Once he grows a little,he wants to become independent financially and starts searching job and most of the boys struggle for years to find a proper,paying and fit job for them giving full job satisfaction to them.Once they are able to find a job,irrespective of the job being proper or improper,they are being married willingly or unwillingly.Again they struggle for two reasons ;one that the knot is being tied with a girl or boy not of their choice;and second if at all there is a place for compromise in between,tight financial position of newly wed couple in most of the cases does not allow a joyful lavish life which normally lead to diversion to other fellow workers,friends and neighbors and that finally results in breaking of relationship or in daily clash with each other.There may be other reasons too like habit,behavior and nature of both the partners that add fuel to the fire.While the tight financial position of majority of youths coupled with todays costly life style,fashion following and standard of living which they see around them increases their desire to attain the same fashion,same life style or the same standard of living and then they make efforts to fetch such things like bike,car,TV,Fridge,and various other appliances by hook or crook if they are unable to compete with others and then even by committing various crimes.This mentality has given rise to the present atmosphere of chain sneching to loot or decoity,bike and Car theft and finally leading to killings murder or an act of terrorism.It is not eshtonishing but a ground reality that even highly qualified youths are found involved in such acts.Police wanders after them every where and while thier lives become a curse,even thier children,life partner,brother and parents lead a very poor and miserable life and they remain under pressure day and night as well,start sufferring various types of diseases including diabetes,blood pressure and heart attack in many cases because of lots of tension due to Police,Court cases, and highly expensive legal fight. Infact,in this materialistic world more desire for Car,Bike,TV,Fridge ,AC,and an independent house etc are the real reason for more and more tension.First to fetch those and then to maintain those items is a big job full of tension.I just cite an example;one fine evening as soon as you reach home enough tired from office work,your son comes to you and tells Papa-our TV is out of order;you just forget your tiredness and think Oh! how I would see news; or today you wanted to watch live telecast of Cricket match,what will happen,you immediately rush to TV mechanic who ask you to bring TV to his shop.You then manage a conveyance,put TV and take that to mechanic shop.He takes his own time and by the time you come back home it is already 9.30 or 10.pm.You then take your dinner and finally sleep.It is just one example, but similar thing would happen if your Car creates problem,or AC is not working or if there is any fault of electricity.So more the desires,more the materialistic world's items more will be your tension or stress in daily life even if it is a simple crime free living. Let us now think of villages where the life is very simple.No doubt that such materialistic approach is reaching there also but still the hight is not there;still there are many villages without electricity even metalled roads are not there and as such the desires are also very limited resulting therefore in less tension and less diseases of that nature as described here above.The level of crime is also less and what ever is available that is because proper employment potential in villages has not been generated and as such the youths could not be diverted to such positive activities of employment.So let us think of this situation of stressful life The remedy lies in Hindu mythology which says to keep your desires minimum.Do not rush after money and material but have a feeling of self satisfaction.Always think of your earnings to keep the same only from legitimate and lawful resources.Our Saints,Rishis have well and firm saying that every body has to reap fruits of his good and bad acts so always remain alert towards ayour actions.Lord Krishna has given devine knowledge in his Bhagwad Gita which is of immense value in present time.Teachings of Gita and yog are the only remedy.Yog which is now a days called to be the Yoga and considered to be only a physical science, or a science related to body is a complete science of physical,mental and devine attainment.So let us follow it and let us teach this science to our children right from today.It is only the high time to commence such teachings and character building of our chilren,practicing yog and meditation without delay if we still continue to sleep,we all will be finished,every thing shall be finished.
