must therefore make sincere efforts to impart happiness to others through his good
actions, if he desires that he himself, his family, his society, his nation and the world at
large, should be blessed with success, prosperity, peace and happiness. Unfortunately,
right from ancient times to the present age, the human race has been ignorant about
this vital truth. Consequently, the human race has had to face in the past, terrible
consequences of this ignorance and will also continue to face in future similar
consequences, if the human race refuses to accept this truth. If we observe the present
state of the human race, we find that people create undesirable circumstances, events
and conditions in the form of sorrow, distress, anger, jealousy, poverty and diseases for
themselves and also for others by the actions they perform at the three levels of
thoughts, speech and deeds. Similarly, the so-called religious minded people, in the
name of God and religion create numerous obstacles and hinderances to God's festival of
bliss and live in disharmony with His systematised order by their destructive and harmful
actions. As such, instead of enjoying peace and happiness, by living in tune with the laws
of nature and participating in God's festival of bliss, the human race is involved in
creating chaos and confusion in the world, by indulging in riots and violence, murder and
bloodshed, quarrels and conflicts, battles and wars, as also by resorting to sinful actions
such as attrocities, corruption and injustice. Wisdom therefore lies in participating in
God's festival of bliss, by realising the true nature of God and meticulously avoid falling a
prey to false, erroneous and perverted beliefs and notions about the concept of God and
religion, which breed ignorance, superstitions and blind faith. Similarly the essence of
ideal worship and devotion to God consists in performing auspicious and meritorious
actions which are in harmony with the laws of nature. This is the one and the only way to
gratify God and acquire His blessings. In this context a question may arise what is the
exact nature of these auspicious and meritorious actions? JEEVANVIDYA explains them as
under.
"Think Blissfully, wish Blessfully, speak pleasantly And Perform Actions
Harmoniously.''
Here another question may arise as to, what constitutes thinking blissfully and
wishing blessfully? What is the exact nature of speaking pleasant words and performing
harmonious actions? We will try to clarify these aspects in brief.
'Thinking Blissfully Is a Chintamani'
Thinking blissfully is like the wonderful gem chintamani (चचंतामणण) referred to in
Indian Mythology, which fulfills all desires. The power of Thinking Blissfully or the power
