Simplicity means taking charge of a life thatis too busy, too stressed, and toofragmented. An uncluttered simplicitymeans cutting back on trivial distractions,both material and non-material, andfocusing on the essentials -- whatever thosemay be for each of our unique lives. AsThoreau said, "Our life is frittered away bydetail... Simplify, simplify." Or, as Platowrote, "In order to seek one's own direction,

one must simplify the mechanics ofordinary, everyday life."

Do you have enough money?

Are you spending enough time with your family and friends?

Do you come home from your job full of life?

Do you have time to participate in things you believe areworthwhile?

If you were laid off from your job, would you see it as anopportunity?

Are you satisfied with the contribution you have made to theworld?

Are you at peace with money? Does your job reflect yourvalues?

Do you have enough savings to see you through six months ofnormal living expenses?

Is your life whole?

Do all the pieces -- your job, your expenditures, yourrelationships, your values -- fit together?

3)Non-cooperation: All the senses must bewithdrawn slowly from their respectivecentres of pleasure. If you go on denying allthe desires, then they will die a natural death.So continue this incessant process ofdynamic self-denial and become a

conqueror of all desires. Thus havingwashed clean the mind of all Vasanas, theaspirant ultimately rejoices and sports in thepure consciousness, bliss and self-delight ofAtmic awareness. --Sri Swami Chidananda
