APPRECIATE BEAUTY: Is there a soul who would not feel uplifted after lis- tening to any evoca- tive melody like Ae mere watan ke logon or The hills are alive with the sound of music? Marking out some time daily to enjoy the beautiful things of this world – natural or human- made, is an unfailing strategy to spiritual solvency. Strolling in the garden, noting different formations of leaves or shades of green in the landscape or even just sky-gazing, can raise spirits as much as savouring a good painting, a good film, or stirring music. Perhaps nothing elevates the human soul like music, the reason why music has always been a part of any important ceremony, spiritual exercise, or celebrations. Singing, playing an instrument or even listening to good music everyday goes a long way in making one a ‘spiritual crorepati’. Appreciation of the good in life invites good fortune.
