Wisdom for Life

The book "Fruitful Co-Journey of Bliss and Abundance," which dear friend Sri Basavalingappa has collected from various sources, is a thoughtful handbook that fosters a love for life and fills it with zest. At the end of this book, he explains the pro-life programs of his organization, 'Karuna Jeeva Kalyana Trust.' He has set an ideal example, demonstrating that it is not enough to speak good words; they must also be seen in action. Just as the sanctity or purity of purpose behind a work determines its effect, the sanctity or purity behind this book shapes the reader's mind.

"Walk the talk," or ensuring one's conduct aligns with one's words, is a common expectation. Acting in harmony with what one says is known as 'Dharma.' However, more often than not, this remains mere words. The articles in Basavalingappa's book are words that have risen from deeds. Action gives strength to the words spoken. Thus, these words cannot be considered lightly, as mere utterances by someone, somewhere. When word and deed become one, "that which is called word becomes Jyothirlinga" (the linga conceived as the concrete form of the Supreme Light). Such words become profoundly personal and impactful.

In the complicated and perplexing conditions of everyday life, amidst the uphill path of defeats and victories, inspiration that knows no defeat can guide us. This book contains words that encourage introspection, helping readers discover their own sources of such inspiration and the quality of tireless effort until goals are achieved.
