Garuda Purana has an important place in Indian religious texts. It is not limited only to the rituals after death, but many secrets of living life are also told in it. Garuda Purana clearly states that the deeds and habits of a man decide the direction of his life. If some bad habits are not changed in time, then the person remains surrounded by poverty, sorrow and failures. Let us know what are those habits according to Garuda Purana due to which good times never come in a man's life and he remains a victim of poverty.

1. Laziness (greed and running away from hard work)

It is said in Garuda Purana that a person who turns away from his duties, avoids labor and makes laziness his friend, can never prosper in life. A lazy person is neither able to use time properly nor achieve his goals. Such people gradually go into the pit of poverty.

Remedy: It is necessary to bring discipline in life, use time properly and do every task on time.

2. Waste (extravagance)

According to Garuda Purana, people who waste money without thinking have to face serious financial crises in the future. People who spend unnecessarily find themselves helpless in emergency situations.

Remedy: One should maintain a balance in income and expenditure, develop the habit of saving and avoid wasteful expenditure.

3. Bad Company (Company of Evil People)

It is said, "Company has a deep impact." If a person keeps company with evil people, criminals or lazy people, then his life also starts flowing in the same direction. Bad company not only corrupts the character but also causes economic and social downfall.

Remedy: One should spend time with good, honest and hardworking people. Success is possible only with positive company.

4. Lack of control over anger and speech -

Garuda Purana states that a person who takes wrong decisions under the influence of anger and does not control his speech, suffers both disrepute in social life and financial loss. Wealth acquired through anger also does not last.

Remedy: Be patient, take decisions with patience even in difficult times and control your speech.

5. Ego

A person suffering from ego feels shy to take help from others and is not even ready to learn from his experiences. As a result, he is deprived of many opportunities and keeps lagging behind in life. In Garuda Purana, ego is said to be the main reason for the downfall of man.

Remedy: Adopt humility and always have a learning spirit. There is something to learn even from the smallest person.

6. Insult of parents and Guru

According to Garuda Purana, a person who does not respect his parents and Gurus never gets permanent happiness and prosperity in life. Such people can earn money, but that money does not last and there is always a struggle in their life.

Remedy: Always respect your parents, teachers and elders in life and get their blessings.

7. Being averse to religion and charity.

Those who live only for their own selfishness and are averse to religion and charity, there is no permanent prosperity in their life. Garuda Purana states that by giving charity, the purity of wealth increases and it gives positive results.

Remedy: Donate regularly according to your capacity and contribute to the welfare of the society.

Conclusion

Garuda Purana teaches us that economic and mental prosperity in life does not come only from external efforts, but is also deeply connected with our hidden habits and thinking. If we avoid bad habits like laziness, extravagance, wrong company, anger, arrogance and indifference to religion, then certainly our life can become happy and prosperous. Even in today's rapidly changing times, these teachings of Garuda Purana are as relevant as they were centuries ago. If these habits are identified and corrected, then not only poverty but other sorrows of life can also be eliminated.
