As skilled hands mold a lump of clay, our reactions to the happenings in our lives mold our character. Thus, Shri Gurudev Paramahamsa Hariharananda taught that life is not an empty dream; our lives have a purpose. We are here to make our lives a masterpiece. How is this accomplished? We must develop the divine qualities that remain dormant in our souls and eradicate the demonic qualities that we have developed. We can choose the direction of our lives, whether they will be divine or demonic.
In the sixteenth chapter of the Bhagavad Gita Lord Krishna outlines some of the vital qualities necessary to make our lives divine. He also cautions us about the demonic qualities that create havoc for us and the people we encounter. When we leave this world, our material possessions stay behind. The only possessions we keep are the virtues and vices we have accumulated. Therefore, Lord Krishna’s teachings are invaluable. Paramahamsa Prajnanananda’s commentary provides a deeper understanding of our potential.
