Some of the most popular and important teachings are chronologically listed below.
1. Thoughts about big or small, your or mine should be kept out.
We should not think about how big or small can we really make things. All this is materialistic and engages people in tensions and into greedy activities. It makes one into profit oriented. Thinking about yours or mine also does the same. All the life we make and collect things for ourselves. This really does not make a difference when we leave this world. We all are turned into ashes after death.
2. We did not bring anything to this world, neither are we going to take anything.
We all came to this world empty handed. We all have made everything over here itself, be it relationships or money or wealth or property or love or respect or friendship or qualification. We cannot take anything with us when we die. Each and everything would be left over here. So we should not really do evil things when it comes to the question of our respect. Nor should we be really concerned only and only about making as much money as possible. We should be satisfied with what we have as everything would be left over here in this material world, no one won’t be able to take anything with us.
3. Desires come and go.
Desires come and go, but you should remain a dispassionate witness, simply watching and enjoying the show is one of the purpose. Each and everyone experiences some or the other desires but one should not be moved by their desires only. They should not bother anyone. People sometimes undertake really evil actions because of their desires. So one should not come under the chains of desires only.
4. Progress and development are the rules of this universe.
The things may not be the same, the way they used to be. The things and the circumstances change. We should neither expect from people, nor from the surroundings, nor even from the circumstances or even from the society to be same. Everything will change with time. We have to move ahead with time. The entire universe forgets old things and moves forward, so do each and everyone. We should not stick only with one point, this will make our existence much more problematic on this world.
5. Whatever happened, happens for a good, whatever is happening is good and what all will happen in the future, will happen for a good.
We should not repent about our past or worry about the future as the present is going on. We should know that God has planned everything for us. He will not let anything bad happen to us. Whatever happens is for our good. We should be optimistic and should not stress our self with these baseless worries of past and future. If things are not favorable, they surely would be. Just have faith in the supreme personality of Godhead.
6. Death is the ultimate truth
This world is not immortal. One who takes birth has to dies one day and that is the ultimate truth of this world. Nothing in the world exists permanently. One has to leave this world, even though he wishes not to. No magic can actually help a person to stay forever on this world. Everyone has their set life periods. They vanish after completing them. No matter how great one is or how power one posses, all have to die one day or the other.
7. Soul is immortal and our body is perishable, our soul never dies.
Our soul never dies. Even after our death, it exists. It is immortal. It just changes bodies after the death. Moreover, the body is made up of ‘Agni’ (fire), ‘Jal’ (water) ,’Vayu’ (wind), ‘Prithvi’ (earth) and it combines with them after the death. So we should not pay a lot of attention towards our outer body, but instead should work for the inner soul, it’s satisfaction.
8. Result is not our main moto.
When we work for getting fruits or for the result only from a particular action, we can’t really be our best in it. It also gives us a lot of worries about the result. We may also feel disheartened if our task or action does not yield good outputs. Therefore, just doing our work without really thinking about it’s result should be our motive.
9. Give The Pure Gift of Love
A gift is pure when it is given from the heart to the right person at the right time and at the right place, and when we expect nothing in return. And that gift is the gift of love.
10. Good Work Never Goes To Waste
No one who does good work, will ever come to a bad end, either here or in the world to come.
11. The Gates To Hell
Hell has three gates: lust, anger and greed. It’s the lust, anger and greed will take us to hell.
12. Arrogance Only Grows
One day, you got this desire, and tomorrow I will get that one; all these riches are mine, and soon you will have even more. Already, you have killed these enemies, and soon you will kill the rest. You are the Lord, the enjoyer, successful, happy, and strong, noble, and rich, and famous. Who on earth is your equal?
13. Who Is God?
God - the source of light in all luminous objects. He is beyond the darkness of matter He is knowledge. He is the object of knowledge. He is the goal of knowledge. He is situated in everyone's heart.
