|| Pressure or Pleasure ||

Today, we hear every human on our planet commenting or remarking on the phrase "I have so much work Pressure." Rarely will you hear someone say, "Oh, I'm doing fine, and I'm just loving my work with pleasure." It could be a politician, a celebrity, a professional, a housewife, or any ordinary person. Everyone is in a similar frame of mind: "work pressure." I recently met two young boys; one of them is an aspiring actor and the other is a law student. They were both intelligent and attractive, yet they were both underweight. During our conversation, I discovered that both of them had high expectations of themselves. Both of them had chosen a profession that was unusual in their families. His father had given him a specific amount of time to attempt, and if he did not succeed, he had to join the family firm. He used to get assignments for short films and web shows, but nothing that he enjoyed doing. The second boy states that because He don't come from a family of lawyers, he have to work hard to prove his worth while competing with other students who do. This puts strain on his life. Both of them had a lot of physical health difficulties and felt that their physical health was being negatively impacted by too much work pressure. I mean, is this kind of pressure necessary at such a young age? When will the pressure of their work turn into pleasure? 

Both of the kids are from my close family and get along well with me. They felt really comfortable speaking with me. They did also say that today, especially among our peers, everyone believes you should work hard now so you can relax later. Is this even true? A law student claims that because of the amount of work he receives as an intern, he stays up late working before rising early to attend class - "I rarely get three hours of sleep each day. I have to work hard because if I make a mistake in my writing, I will be fired, and it will be tough to receive the same opportunity again." It's just like how an actor thinks: "The director calls, then whatever task I have been assigned to, I have to complete, as I need to be in his good graces." I was simply considering whether this kind of pressure is necessary at this point. Where are our children headed and in what direction? There once was a time when people used to sing and dance while working at their jobs, chopping and farming. We have watched a good number of movies with excellent production qualities that make life more enjoyable, and we can now observe that children are competing from the moment they enter this universe. Having education creates competitiveness there, followed by adulthood focusing on competition and the rat race, where people just operate like machines. We are conducting research to create robots, but in my opinion, humans will ultimately become living robots, eliminating the need for this research.

According to a spirituality book, "Dukhalayams," also known as the region of miseries, are said to have created our current material universe. How might one create life by simply using scientific progress to describe the processes of birth, old age, illness, and death The materialistic world is like running to get to work in the morning, working all day, returning to do supper, a party, or time with family, and sleeping. Sometimes it's just boring, so you lose interest, and occasionally you end up doing sinful things. According to Lord Krishna in the Bhagavad chapter, yoga is the best way to connect with your own soul. You must use your capacity for reason to justify your existence. You have a rare power called thinking that needs to be used as effectively as possible; if you keep racing in this rat race, all it will do is make your life like any other animal or bird in this universe. Although they were spiritual and disciplined, Ravana and Kansa had unrealistic expectations of themselves. As a result, they were never able to exist for a long period of time. In contrast, Lord Rama and Lord Krishna, through their foresight and acts of kindness to others, managed to earn a reputation that endures to this day. We all need to learn about spirituality and our own life's purpose, especially the young people in our generation.

When you enjoy it, pressure is pleasure. When her own child is inside her womb, a mother who is under too much pressure from taking care of her family—or, in today's world, a working mother—experiences pleasure. Every single second of those nine months is enjoyable for her. I have two children, so I am aware of the enormous joy that comes with being about to become a parent of another human being who is also your own. The greatest joy and value in my life are my girls. For all parents, I believe the pressure of giving birth, raising children, educating them, and settling them adds pressure, but the moment you experience pleasure, your life is instantly made much happier. As parents, we have delighted in every stage of their development. The pressure of life is lessened by those lovely recollections of spending time with children. This work has been taken on by the current generation as part of the scientific revolution, and as a result, pleasure is now being managed under such pressure. I meet a lot of pressured parents every day, and competitiveness and comparison play a huge part in this.

We tend to overlook that rivalry and comparison are slowly but surely becoming a part of daily life. Earlier, when our ancestors had many children and had many responsibilities to their families, communities, and countries, notions of comparison and rivalry were incredibly uncommon. Whatever they did in life, they used to sit down together, talk, and come to decisions together. We are advancing into a new world, yet the old beneficial traits of togetherness are fading away. The pressure that selfish society is creating is having an unintentional impact on so many other individuals. I know of one young boy who struggles, is a slow learner, and was lavished with attention by his parents in his younger years. Under peer pressure, he fell into depression while watching Facebook, Instagram, and other social media platforms and simply thought, "I can't do all this." Now it has gotten to the point where he becomes violent, especially with his sister. Her marriage is approaching, but she is still having problems finding a suitable partner for herself. What are we teaching our children? pressure, or does expressing pleasure also put pressure on others?

Let's sit down and analyze how to reduce our pressure. In my opinion, the first step in making every moment of life pleasurable is to adopt a positive outlook on everything that occurs. We have a creator who created us, and does he or she know what is good and bad for us? I believe that there is a reason for our presence in this world. Every person has potential, which must be utilized to the fullest extent. At the beginning of each day, consciously bringing positive energy into your mind can help you attract more positivity into your life. We need to distance ourselves from bad energy. Then, as the day progresses, remain open to receiving instruction from the universe and have faith that every experience—no matter how trying—is taking place to get you one step closer to your ultimate goal. I firmly believe that Lord Krishna is directing me as I spread goodwill.

If you are certain of what you really desire, it is much simpler to manifest it accurately. You must have a distinct image in your mind of what you want to create, whether it's improved relationships, your ideal body, your dream profession, or financial freedom. Making others understand the importance of positivity only brings me great delight because it is so plainly stated in the Bhagavad Geeta. I want to spread positivity across the cosmos, whether anyone agrees with me or not. Simply practice good karma. Follow kindness, meditation, and spirituality every day of your life. There is no age to it. Teach your children while they are still inside you (mother's womb). In life, value relationships are crucial. Gratitude to the Almighty and the people in our lives helps us feel cherished, secure, and warm.

Spreading positivity has transformed me, helping me to be a better person. I've forgotten about the past pressures in my life. My thoughts have embraced me to be new, allowing me to produce pleasure in my life with the mental process of becoming the best I can be every day on my journey through life. My dear young people, we only have one life; therefore, let us live it to the fullest.
