Inspired Living - Swami Tejomayananda, Chinmaya Mission

The limited knowledge or a particular knowledge will not help us to face all kinds of problems, situations that come to us. For our daily life, we may be an expert in one field, but to live our life we must have complete knowledge of total life. We need not have knowledge of each subject. We need not become doctors, lawyers, engineers, politicians etc. We cannot become all. Specialists are there to treat specific problems, but in order to live our life we must have a general understanding of the total life so that we don’t become excited or anxious. We think that this small part of our life is the whole life. This kind of feeling and understanding is wrong. We must not give undue importance to one part and neglect the others. Have a complete understanding of life. Only when we live our life, will we know that we cannot refer to the text all the time. Certain principles we must follow and play the game of life. If we take it lightly then life is terrible. If we take it seriously and understand it completely, then life becomes light.
