"Gum aur khushi mein fark na mehsus ho jahan,Mein Dil ko us makaam pe lata chala gaya"
These excerpts are from a famous of song picturised on Dev Anand....
There one more couplet.....it goes like this.............Tum nahi, gum nahi, sharab nahi....aisi tanhiye ka jawab nahi........
All these songs/couplets points towards realizing about one's higher self or may be well beyond the stage of self actualization of Abraham Harold Maslow's pyramid .It is a stage wherein neither sorrow nor joy can perturb a person's state of mind/soul which have found ultimate peace........................................
Do we really yearn or want to reach at that stage in life.I guess most of our lives is spent in making the end meets,rearing our children etc etc...... or may be we are accustomed to live like that, after all we have seen world around us living like that only................
But, if this stage is ultimate niche of life...how come one will live gorgeous life ....and then where does "Lavishness" find its place?????
I read somewhere that in race of accumulating wealth there comes a point above which increase in wealth does not increase happiness in same proportion. In fact, the happiness graph becomes flat...........
I have also read in interviews of great Entrepreneurs who have earned huge money that after a point earning money does not give them any "kick"......They get excited when they innovate or create thing which are beneficial to larger section of society."GIVING" MAKE THEM MORE HAPPY AND MONEY BECOMES MERELY A BY PRODUCT......
Well. I guess this is "THE" point where Life becomes gorgeous and one lives a LAVISH LIFE.
Yearning for the same!!!
Agree!! We should donate 10% of our income to the poor and homeless every year...Its mentioned in the scriptures of almost all religion......At the same time we should try to reach and experience that point beyond which money does not give extra happiness..:)..but should always remember "enjoy the tea(=life) not the cup/container(=money)"
