Why Things Go Wrong in Life: Spiritual Viewpoints

Abstract

One cannot experience all the consequences of one’s action in the span of life. As a result he finds life is full of anomalies. To apply scientific rule of causality in such life affairs the need for upgradation of life is proposed through adaptation of ethical and moral values subjectively per our scriptures. Problems rest for solution on the inner goodness of man. Unless mentality/attitude is upgraded it is like ‘you open clinics but not solve the problem of disease’. No laws, economic reforms, political ideologies, social adjustment are of any use if human nature be not improved. If our attitude be honest, nature organises matters in such a way that we shall get requisites and aids for our well being in appropriate occasion. Vedanta offers a high ideal constructive approach to life offering solution of all problems. In this respect Swami Vivekananda’s ideals of Vedanta on the following fronts Ethics, Morality, Creation of own destiny, Adaptation of yogas per inbuilt tendencies and Idealism in service are applied so that there may not be any demarcation of secular life from sacred/ spiritual life. As a result of overall upgradation, the life can be under perfect control.
