Second NIYAM Contd.….

     Propensity of pleasure enjoyments used to be there in human beings naturally and this also is necessary for maintaining the life. If we do not have the feel of contentment in our conscience, then we shall not be happy even after having more than what is needed. Matters worthy of enjoyments are not insufficient in the world, but how we can possess all of those? Therefore we shall have to limit our desires. Because in case it is not pursued then we shall always remain grieved. In fact the method in order to achieve happiness is not to increase own necessities and indeed to understand the importance of contentment. Therefore doctrine of contentment used to be the maxim of happiness.

    Third commandment concerning the individual—NIYAM—is to practice penance--as we all know that life of course used to be full of troubles and it always used to be surrounded with struggles. In order to carry on maintaining own entity and continue living respectfully firmness and forbearance are also very necessary. The person who wants to live without difficulty and to get rid of arduous circumstances cannot stay even a bit whenever he come across such a demanding occasion and gets ruined like a dried-up grass straw in the brook of time. Thereafter there cannot remain any of the slightest possibility of his not getting extinct. Therefore the basic secret of our success is hidden in continue subsisting during difficult period and to get that difficulty reposed among peaceful gesticulation, which is got through practicing penance.
