Sanskar

What gives you direction in life?

Thanks WP for such a fresh prompt after long gap.

The direction of life mainly depends upon the choices you make. In short the decisions you make related to your career or your relationship or your personal life.

In my opinion, all these decisions are directed by the sanskar ingrained in you while you are growing. These sanskar are made by your parents, the Gurus, your teachers and your friends and colleagues.

Let’s dive deep into the word sanskar. What I mean exactly by this word.

Sanskar means the moral values, culture, manners and behaviour through which a person is known or judged by the society. During my childhood, my parents used to spend lots of quality time with us. My dad used to take me out for a walk, they used to play with us and also we used to dine together. And finally bedtime stories.

All the teaching I received during my growing year, drive my life even today. It gives me the direction during critical moments. There were moments of attraction to the wrong doing. In such moments you get only fraction of seconds to decide which way to go. And your sanskar gives you the direction to choose the right direction.

This is true for every single person. You might have experienced such moments in your life and the choice was certainly directed by your ingrained beliefs and values and those are outcomes of your sanskar.

Choice of your hobbies, career path or profession is mainly influenced by the sanskar made by your parents or friends or your Guru.

Finally I conclude with the statement that the direction to my life is mainly based on the sanskar I got during my growing age.

Thank you my dear readers for stopping by.

Stay happy and keep smiling 😊
