The grand objective of the Manashakti Trusts is to guide about how
each individual can achieve happiness and peace of mind, rationally, by
sacrificing - at least partially - for the cause of society, while
simultaneously fulfilling familial duties, as mentioned in the Ishaavasya Upanishad.
People get a new outlook by studying the rational New Way
Philosophy put forth by the Manashakti. New Way Philosophy is a modern thought
in which the Indian culture and the modern science have been beautifully merged
together.
Any person once born; uses the
following for benefit and owes to them
duty-full action throughout his/her life.
- Nature.
- Other
people i.e. Society, including parents, relatives and friends.
- Own
body.
But while leading routine life, usually
one is hardly seen taking this debt returning need into consideration. On the
other hand; one thinks and acts only for selfish goals to fetch short term
happiness and the concept of happiness goes on changing. Many times; one does
injustice to own body by indulging into unhealthy life style. Thus; by using
the above 3 factors for own purpose, damaging them to some extent, he forgets
to do his duty towards them.
Manashakti offers
guidance to rectify these errors. The following prayers imbibed on mind and followed
by appropriate action bring about the desired change in the life.
Prayer for
Self-Reflection (For self-improvement)
“I am calling upon my internal
energy and resolving to work towards my own welfare. My personality has evolved
based on my behavior till today. From today on-wards, I resolve to seek only
good inspiration. For the bad experiences I have had, instead of blaming
others, I will myself reflect upon them. Instead of seeking false satisfaction,
I will rely on courage and good wisdom. Because of this, I will gain long
lasting peace and success. To the extent that I am achieving this, I am at
peace now itself”.
Prayer for
Self-Purification
“O eternal force representing
the eternal truth!
I am the creation of my own
deeds and expectations. There is no easy or false way to free myself of my
deeds and expectations. Of course, with this newly found realization and knowledge,
everyday my entire being is becoming purer. O eternal force, keep this positive
realization, inspiration, and knowledge within me forever. Let my excessive
desire be taken away. Whatever that is supposed to be mine, I surrender to the
Brahma i.e. transcendent reality, and equality. Whatever that will remain will
be t…..
Social Welfare (to be uttered
in a group for the welfare of society, nation and universe)
Prayer for Social
Service
“As the contentment in the
society around me increases, my personal contentment will also increase. In my
life, I have benefited from many known and unknown individuals and forces. In
reciprocity, it is my duty to spend some of my energies for the benefit of
known and unknown individuals and forces. The more I fulfil this duty, the more
I will be delighted. I am experiencing that delight to the extent I have
fulfilled my duty in my work today. May my delight grow to inspire my family,
my society, my country, and whole humanity”.
Prayer for National
Welfare
“This nation should become
great. For this to happen, along with non-stop efforts, it is also necessary to
purify our surroundings. We are combining these two aims.
May all be well with humanity!
May all be well with this
nation!!
May all be well with the
individual!!!”
Prayer for Welfare of
the Universe
“The welfare of the universe
is my constant thought.
Self-examination is my tool.
I have no enemies outside of
me.
I may have some enemy inside me
for sure.
Day by day, as my knowledge
based work will grow,
One day the entire world will
be mine.
Science and beliefs are in my
skin.
Gratitude is my righteous
path.
Insulting others is forbidden
to me.
Peace and equality are my
actions.
Inequality and corruption lead
to my total destruction.
Equality and unity lead to my
piousness”.
Every person wants to be
happy.
The purpose of life for normal, average individual is along the
following lines:
“By fulfillment
of my ambition, I want to lead a life of happiness, satisfaction till my last
moment in this world.”
If one accept above statement as a guide line for life journey then to
effectively accomplish the same one must thoroughly understand.
1. Me, my ambitions,
my concept of happiness / enjoyment / satisfaction.
2. My life
3. The world in which
I have to live throughout my life.
M.R.C.’s attempt is to provide
guidance understand the true purpose and meaning of life on logical basis and
based on the known rules of Nature. It is also an attempt to help individuals
to realize their own life ambitions by a path of least resistance. Human being
is a part of Universe. Our life-ambitions should be in tune with the rules of
Nature. There could be no generic definition as the very concept is subjective.
Moreover, it cannot be the same for everyone. In spite of this, foundations
remain unchanged and very focus is to set strengthen the base.
Causality is
the base for science and spirituality. Science talks of entropy whereas
spirituality suggests gratitude. In short “Give and Take cycle” is believed by
both. Equality, Gratitude, Causality- Co-relation are the key words ruling the Mind
and Matter. Haunted with complex ideas, we are entangled in our own web. All we
have to do is to have the clarity of ideas, which shall help us find our
purpose and meaning of life.
Stress is a
much later stage whereas complexity and restlessness of the mind are the
beginnings. It’s pertinent to understand where are we going wrong at the very
beginning and here, the half of the battle is won. Proper emotional and mental
conditioning is the only way of leading a stress-free life or not bringing this
to such a pass. However, sans understanding what goes into moulding mind,
proper conditioning is unlikely.
The pursuit of
happiness is the ultimate goal but for a majority, it indeed ends in a misery
because to many, happiness is a mystery. Let the definition of happiness vary
from person to person, all we need to know is that true contentment lies
within. Balance is the key, as per the simplest law of the nature and we must be
conscious of it all the time.
Eventually,
life is simple but complexity and irrationality within us might be forcing us
to put it in a convoluted manner. There is nothing worth getting frustrated and
stressed out. Miseries and dis pleasures are a passing phase. Let us try to
rework our concepts, have a fresh look at ourselves and our life ambitions. We
should lead a path of action with full devotion based on knowledge. Every time
when you feel like giving up, just wait a little more for the rising sun to
break through the dark clouds. Cloud cover may veil it up again and again. Take
a little pause and let the cloud burst for it’s a passing phase. Let rational
knowledge be your chosen path. Blue sky and shining sun are always there. It’s
a reality, our true self…
The message is
simple. By natural inclination we all are selfish and would like to “GET’; but
to be just human beings we have to “GIVE” and for that nurturing of selfless
attitude is the key.
