Intrinsic motivation is our inner satisfaction. Or the motivation is not for success or victory but for the inner fulfillment that comes from the feeling of having accomplished something. Motivation has more to do with a sense of fulfillment than with achieving a goal. Where it is necessary to identify the motivation, it is also necessary to keep it strong. Two things are very important in motivation, they are recognition and responsibility. Responsibility gives a person a sense of responsibility and belonging, in which a person starts thinking of himself as a part of a bigger work. Lack of responsibility makes a person unmotivated. The happiness obtained by paying the price does not last long. On the contrary, if someone is impressed by your words and acts on them, then you get emotional happiness. The feeling of doing a job in a right manner is a motivation in itself. Intrinsic motivation is doing an activity for its inherent satisfaction rather than for some separable resul

The rainy season is of four months, hence it is also called Chaumasa or Chaturmas. As soon as the rainy season starts, animals like frog, peacock, papaya etc. start chirping happily.

Seating in front of a lit fire in an autumn evening I was thinking of my past life. Thinking about our past lives is an interesting journey, but it can also be fraught with unintended consequences. The first relationships we make in life are with our families. A father's advice, a mother's warmth and a sibling's support are just what we need in the face of an impasse. The more the strings of relationships are pulled, the more the distance increases. I have started writing the story of my life. It has become a way for us to bond. My mom tells us stories about where and when my brothers and I were born and the things we loved. I have heard a lot about my life, but there is still a lot to be done. Even though I was away from home during the day, we used to get together before going to bed at night. So I am trying my best to connect with my family and write my life story. My mother was working long hours, so she could not spend much time at home. We were also working o

Personality refers to the enduring characteristics and behavior that comprise a person's unique adjustment to life, including dominant traits, interests, drives, values, self-concept, abilities, and emotional patterns.

Looking back, there was a tall man in front who was bigger than the clothes he worn or rather the lack of them, I remember him laughing a slow but very charming laugh, it seemed that he was an ascetic. There was a strange aura on his face, freshness in his voice, sweetness in his words, and a ray of light surrounded him. He was a very old man but his appearance gave the impression of a child. "You really know the confusion of my thoughts." He smiled gratefully. "The bountiful and terrifying illusions of nature, symbolized by Kali, have made people wiser than me."

There are differences in mutual views but there should not be differences of opinion. Because discord brings negativity in thoughts and creates a situation of conflict which sometimes takes a dreadful form; If this is not understood in time, then there is a possibility of conflict and then disintegration.

It is a dark night with thunderous thunder. I find myself waking up in a hut. Things are scattered here and there in the house. As I walk around the house, I begin to realize that it is very small and in dilapidated condition. There is a large living room and a kitchen attached to the door. At the exit of the room, a little far away there was a cattle stable, which stood on four pillars, the roof was made of grass, which was missing, maybe the strong wind would have blown it away. Never before in my life had such fierceness of rain come and maybe it will come sometime in the future, don't know. It was raining heavily that night. It was dark in the village at five o'clock in the evening due to the rain. The clouds were spreading terror by roaming around. The lightning was flickering intermittently. The unpaved roads were filled with water. The thunder of lightning was shaking the hearts of the people sitting in the hut. The streets had taken the form of a river. It was not

Maharishi Patanjali defined yoga as 'the control of the instincts of the mind'. In the Yoga Sutras, he elaborates on a path of eight-limbed yoga for complete well-being and physical, mental and spiritual purification. Ashtanga, meaning eight-limbed, yoga should not be understood as a path consisting of eight separate steps; It is an eight-dimensional path in which all eight dimensions are practiced simultaneously. These eight limbs of yoga are as follows: 1. Yama: Yam consists of five Social Moral Laws and which are as follows:- (a) Ahimsa (अहिंसा): - Not harming any living being by speech, thoughts and deeds. (b) Satya (सत्य): – To follow truthfulness with mind, word and deeds. (c) Asteya (अस्तेय): Non-stealing. (d) Brahmacharya (ब्रह्मचर्य): Chastity, marital fidelity or sexual restraint. (e) Aparigraha (अपरिग्रह): Non-avarice, non-possessiveness. 2. Niyamas This is the second component of Patanjali's Yoga path is niyama, which includes

Our traditional belief teaches us that our first responsibility is towards the society, second towards the family and third towards the self. Society begins to decline in which its order is reversed. Social responsibility should also be the moral responsibility of every citizen. Responsibility and freedom go hand in hand. The mark of a good citizen is that he should be prepared to bear his own burden. By speaking whatever comes to mind, a man has to listen to what he does not like later. Be practical wise. Being practical means choosing your words wisely and tactfully, and knowing how far you can go. It also means knowing what to say and what to leave unsaid. Talent without tact cannot always work. Our words reflect our attitude. Words can hurt our feeling and break our relationships. Man is not hurt as much by natural calamity as by bad words or bitter words. We must decide whether to speak after thinking or think after speaking. This is the difference between wisdom and stupid

We should think of giving every work by making it valuable; Be it customers, friends, family, spouse, parents or children. Whenever you work, ask yourself, "How can I make the work better?" Who are hardworking, punctual, honest, helping and caring for others, listens carefully and follows guidelines and rules, works for result and not task oriented, are pleasant and polite; Irrespective of their experience, age and education, they are always in demand. If you want to get ahead in life, then walk more than necessary. Are you willing to put in a little more work for what you get in return? How many people do you know who are willing to give a little more than what they get in return? There is hardly anyone like this. Most people are not willing to work as much as they get in return. Most of them are doing just enough to save their jobs. There are only a few people who are ready to work a little more than their salary. How beautiful this world would be if we all treate

In the evening, while walking after dinner, we sit on the nook and talk to each other. But there are some personalities who can be labeled as quarrelsome and this is reflected in their relationships and behaviour. Controversy and debate can be avoided and by taking a little care, a man can stay away from many conflicts. The best way to win an argument is not to participate in it at all. Because debate is such a thing that it cannot be won. Because even if you win in this you will lose and if you lose then you will definitely lose. If you win an argument, you lose a good friend or life partner. Arguments are born out of false ego. Arguing is like fighting a losing battle. Even after winning the emotional battles, pain is left in the heart. One who thinks that he knows everything; He is an idiot, but an even bigger idiot is the one who participates in the debate. If you want to achieve a big position in life, then you have to be mature and sensible. Because- Argument brings fir

How much my mother used to take care of me all the time from childhood till I got a job; I came to know this now when I am all alone today. , I know we can't be together right now, we're far apart, and I understand that. I miss my mother a lot. Her whole day was around me; From the time I wake up in the morning until I fall asleep at night. She could not rest. Whenever the mood was bad, she used to get nervous. From indigenous prescriptions, she used to present to the doctor. Even when the doctor assured that nothing happened, he could not believe it. Once I fell ill, when no recipe worked from local resources; So she arranged for a camel cart and took me to the doctor to my nearby town at 3 o'clock in the night; because there were no motor vehicles in those days. She kept awakened whole night holding me in her hands even she had not taken any food. I love you with every part of my being. I love you completely and selflessly, and I know that I am nothing without you

The shade of the snow-capped mountains, the velvet clouds rising in them, the sounds of waterfalls and streams gurgling in the distance, the more attractive they are to see and hear, the more difficult is the life there. Sometimes incidents like landslides and sometimes cloud bursts are commonly seen. Access to amenities is extremely rare in the mountains. The adventure of tourism in such places is challenging, enjoyable and intriguing in itself. But when one visits such places, he not only observes the abode and beauty of the mountains, but he also tries to understand the philosophy there. He moves forward his travelogue by wandering in remote and remote places. The Himalayas have been the origin of human civilization and culture since the beginning. Himalaya is the best work of nature which crushes human pride and arrogance. The more vast the Himalayas are to see, the more graceful, gentle, beautiful and the most attractive to human hearts. Along with developing human civi

Like any other science, the science of yoga can also be used by the people of any country and time. It is completely wrong to render by some ignorant writers that yoga practice is 'dangerous' or not good for westerners. It is a matter of regret that this misrepresentation has turned away many sincere and eager aspirants of Yoga Sadhana from trying to reap its multifaceted benefits. Yoga practice is a method to calm the natural noise of thoughts. This cacophony of thoughts equally deprives all human beings of all countries from seeing a glimpse of their original self. Like healthy sunlight, yoga practice is equally beneficial for Eastern and Western people. Most people's thoughts are turbulent and fickle; Hence, the need for the science of mind-control - yoga practice is clear. One of the conspiracies is philosophy. Unlike Western philosophies, Hindu philosophy includes not only theoretical metaphysics, but also practical methods. After going through each and every qu

There was a Hindu woman devoted to her husband. Her intention is not to complain about her husband, but she has a strong desire that there should be a change in his materialistic views. Her husband took great pleasure in making fun of the pictures of saints in her meditation room. He said to his brother, I am sure you can convert them. Tell me, will you do this? His eldest sister was looking at him pleadingly. I had gone to his house in Saraswati Vihar Lane to meet him in those days. This request of his touched my heart, because he had made a deep spiritual impact on my childhood life and also tried very lovingly to fill the void in the family after the death of my mother. "Dear sister! Whatever I can do, I must do it." Suddenly an inspiration arose in the mind. I said: “Tomorrow I am going to the temple. You come with me and also persuade your husband to come. I have a feeling that in the vibrant atmosphere of that holy place, Jaganmata will surely tug at his hea
