This is part 2 of a 4 part series. The first video in the series was Living Life by your Personal Philosophy.
In this discourse, Om Swami says that everybody has their own personal way of living their life. People may have lofty aims of self-realization or some such thing but that need not necessarily bring happiness to a person. Having their own philosophy and living according to it will give a person the satisfaction and happiness that they lived their life according to their principles he says. Om Swami further says that one should retire to bed at the same time every day as the mind becomes ready and the body gets used to it. He says that it is also important to have food in moderation and not till the point of satisfaction as partaking in food is like a sacred relationship and conversation with God and therefore it should be had in that spirit.
Listen to the full discourse for a proper perspective on this topic: How to Practice Zen in Daily Life.
