BE A GOOD STUDENT OF LIFE

GOOD STUDENT


Our faiths - - be they Hinduism or Christianity or Islam or Buddhism or Jainism - - talk of a Judgment day at the end of each particular birth, when God weighs each one of your actions and decides the course of your life, based on your positive and negative karmas (consequences of actions).

Just as your school/ college final exams take place at the end of an academic year, so too, this Judgment day happens at the end of a particular birth. That itself must give you a clue as to how to conduct your life.A careless student decides to rush through his studies at the last minute and therefore does not score well.

A good student studies lessons as and when they are taught, in fact even beforehand, and revises them on an ongoing basis, so he is prepared for his exams whenever they are announced. He scores well in even surprise tests. So too, if you are a good student of life, you will not wait for Judgment day, but would master the curriculum of life diligently with every passing moment and be ready for your tests anytime.Then, when God beckons you, you will not be nervous, but ask Him what He wants. As long as you have done nothing to be afraid of or shy away from, there is no need to fear God. You will look God in the eye (even His Third Eye!) and ask Him boldly what He wants of you. That is the right approach to life.
