Simple contented life with mother nature - Baja Govindam

सुरमंदिरतरुमूलनिवासः
शय्या भूतलमजिनं वासः ।
सर्वपरिग्रहभोगत्यागः
कस्य सुखं न करोति विरागः ॥ १८॥ 

Take your residence in a temple or below a tree, wear the
deerskin for the dress, and sleep with mother earth as your
bed. Give up all attachments and renounce all comforts. Blessed
with such vairgya, could any fail to be content ?

These lines will made us to travel back in the revolution and just to wander in the forest with purpose of life is just to live that day. With such a simple purpose just to spend the given day with only basic requirements of food and shelter how good a life will be?!!

However the sixth knowledge element that LORD has given us , made our ancestors to think and made them to move away from the nature and to seek for some thing better , even better and even better......
        And eventually we are now where we are now. But today though we are offered with all such luxuries and a life style far better than our ancestors had dreamt of , we still complain and feel sick of the life that we are all blessed .
          And still we are searching for the happiness. How miserable it is. ?

We may have to sow a seed of thought in our young one's mind which will make our grand children to get back to the nature from where our ancestor has started with??. With the hope that it will happen after many yugas?

For now Just relax and "Praise the lord" for he has blessed us with everything for a comfortable and luxurious living in this earth. After all it is the contentedness of the mind which creates healthy and long living life.

Adi Sankaracharya's Baja Govindam in this stanza truly provoked me these thoughts. And it is insisting me to praise the lord for every moment and to live a contented life;
