NEW YEAR- NEW CHANGE

Changes, changes, changes. Life is constantly changing. Today we have a job, but later we may lose it. Yesterday we were in a good association now we feel lonely. We are maybe young now, but old age is around the corner. Our health may be good today, but it will not last forever.

Today, everyone is celebrating the new year. Yet another change happened, for some of us for better and for some for worst.

The material world is very dynamic. Nothing will last forever, distress and suffering included! 

The Creator planned to create a material world that continually changes to facilitate everyone living inside to change.

We can’t remain the same for long. That is the law in this material world.

Our body and life experiences change daily, our desires change even faster and consequently, the level of happiness and distress change also! 

Unlimited changes, most of which are not very comfortable.

Who likes changes? Not many of us, especially when we feel satisfied and happy.

To escape the world of changes, we need to change first!

Bhagavad-gītā As It Is-2.15-O best among men [Arjuna], the person who is not disturbed by happiness and distress and is steady in both is certainly eligible for liberation.
