Happy New Year 2023

 

Yes! one more year is just coming to an end. In everybody’s life some good and bad events might have occurred. That is way of life. But at the end of a year, it will be ideal to have an introspection and take stock of the past one years’ deeds. This will enable us to take new decisions for the ensuing year.

The proverb ‘Time and tide wait for no man’ is  perfectly apt. Days roll into months, months to years and thus time passes away. In Government organizations, at the end of each financial year, a review of the past financial transactions are reviewed and future programs chalked out. In northern India, business people do the same way - review their business activities and plan accordingly to the next year during Deepavali days. In a  similar fashion, each individual irrespective of his age and profession should also analyze their past deeds and plan future  activities for the coming new year. There might have been so many trials and tribulations. If one was able to remain  calm and quite in adverse circumstances also then he might have been able to face the situations boldly. Everybody must be able to forget the past deeds of their foes and forgive them. " Forget and forgive; then you will never regret"  - the proverb is like that.

In general, at least a large percentage of people take New year resolutions; but all will not be in a position to practice it throughout the year. They drop it after some days due to several reasons. In reality .people are not able to concentrate on their specified task because of distractions. Mind plays a very important role in this connection. In Upanishads, it has been told

“May we have noble thoughts in our minds

 May we never express bitter words in our speech! ”

One must be able to lead a healthy life both physically and mentally. The old saying “Sound mind in  a sound body “ is perfectly right.

Let us all hope and pray to the Almighty to help us to lead a happy Year 2023 with full of hopes  and aspirations. We must be able to help our fellow brethren in what ever way we are able to help. Let us try to spread a smile on face of all. Let us try to enjoy life to its full extent.

Remember-

“Unborn tomorrow and dead yesterday

Why fret? If today be sweet !”
