 Namaskar. Welcome back to my Monday Motivation. Are you an early riser? Do you get up from bed early? That alone may not be sufficient for your success. Let me share with you this learning from Ramayana. What you should do in order to become successful though you are an early riser. Valmiki described the differences between Rama and Ravana and what they did with reference to the time. Rama was an early riser. One day while they were spending time in the forest, they woke up from the bed before the sunrise. Rama, Lakshmana and Sita, all three of them were walking towards the river Godavari for their morning bath and oblations. It was winter season. The weather was very chill and icy. The water in the river was very cold. On their way to the river, Lakshmana felt bad that his beloved brother Rama had to go through such harsh conditions. And also remembered that their brother Bharata was also going through similar kind of difficulties following the trend of Rama. So Lakshmana expressed his anguish and talked badly about their mother Kaikeyi as the root cause of all these problems. Immediately Rama stopped Lakshmana and told him not to talk ill of their mother Kaikeyi but advised him to continue telling good things about their brother Bharata. Rama that way did not allow Lakshmana entertaining any kind of negative thoughts at that time. On the other hand, Rama was also an early riser. He also used to get up early before the sunrise every day. One day he got up early from the bed and remembered Sita Devi who was already abducted by him and kept in the Asoka Vannam. His mind was filled with the thoughts of approaching Sita Devi and persuading her to accept him. So he proceeded to the Asoka Vannam with the thoughts of obtaining consent of Sita Devi. Look at the difference between Rama and Ravana. Both were early risers. While Rama used his earlier was the Brahma Mughurath for cleansing himself with the positive thoughts and did not allow Lakshmana to speak ill of others. Ravana spent his earlier was cultivating negative thoughts and indulging himself in immoral conduct. It's good to get up early. In fact most successful people are early risers. But the important thing is unless that time is used for good cause it is meaningless. Now due to this Covid-19 we all have the gift of extra time with us. So it's important for us to understand what we are doing with that time. It is what we do and how we do with our time at the workplace that signifies our success at work. So at the present time it is important for you to be conscious and to give a thought about what you are doing with the time that you have and how you are doing with it for your success.
