There will be no contentment through pleasure

 

God created humanity and the whole world with so many different varieties, so many good things. God made so many types of vegetables and fragrances, flowers and thorns, dragons and horrors, to please humans and to keep them entertained. But humanity became more and more depressed. 

Then God acted tough and humans had to start pleasing Him. So humans kept themselves busy pleasing God and they became happier since they had no time to get worried or depressed. When you have someone to please, it keeps you on your toes and you are happier. But if your goal is just to please yourself, depression is sure to follow. 

Pleasure simply brings more craving but the problem is that we try to get contentment through pleasure. True contentment can only come through service.

Accept your own ignorance about your capabilities

 

Always know that the Divine never gives you a responsibility you cannot fulfill. No one ever expects you to treat them if you are not a doctor. No one will ask you to fix their wiring system if you are not an electrician. 

Remember:

• Your responsibility is only what you can do. 
• And you do not know what you can do. 
• Always accept that you do not know what you can do. 
• Ignorance of your capability can expand you. 

When you know what you can do, you can progress. But when you do not know what you can do, you can grow by leaps and bounds. When you know what you can do, you can do things. When you do not know what you can do, you can do things even better!
