In order to lead a successful life, it is
important for man to learn the art of Life Management. The art of life management means, on the one
hand man understanding himself, (i.e. he should know who he is, what his
capabilities are) and, on the other hand, his becoming aware of the world
around him. Then he may plan his life in
a realistic manner, and make improvements whenever and wherever required.
The
only criterion by which to judge whether one had planned one’s life well or not
is to see the result. A plan which
yields a negative result is not right, and a plan which yields a positive
result is right. Examining an action by
an ideal standard is not a wise thing.
Wisdom lies in examining things in the light of the result.
The
relationship between a husband and wife is a delicate matter, because they are
not related by blood. Therefore, the
only way to make his relationship successful is to use reason, rather than
allow emotions to take precedence. In a
blood relationship, there is an emotional bonding. But even then, one has to make a conscious
effort. The force of nature, existing in
blood relationships, does not exist between a husband and wife, which is why it
is difficult to manage this relationship successfully without rational
management. In short, a blood
relationship establishes itself by the force of nature, while a non-blood
relationship is established through conscious effort and rational management.
