How 16 points inspired me

As I belong to a Margi family, 16 points has always been a part of my life from my childhood. Whether to take sattvica diet or spiritual thoughts, I have been following all the sixteen points without any second thought. Earlier I was not much curious for getting knowledge about these sixteen points. 

But eventually when I grew older, I became very curious about sixteen points of Ananda Marga. Each point holds its own significance, which brought more curiosity in me. This eagerness to know the values of sixteen points helped me to enhance my knowledge about sixteen points. 

Different people have described sixteen points in different forms. But I consider it as a daily routine of Ananda Margi. When I was eager to know more about sixteen points I followed the book written by ‘Acharya Shradhhanand avadhut’ Dada. This book gave me answers to my questions regarding sixteen points and helped me to learn the proper way of living life. 

When I was in my school days, I used to be very disciplined and calm. But when I finished my schooling I was not that much disciplined. This caused me various problems in my life. After realizing my mistakes, I decided to make myself disciplined again. Following sixteen points was the first and important step for me to remove all the problems.  Person who follows the ways of social, spiritual and physical development which, Baba has described through the sixteen points will definitely feel positivity and peace in their life. And by following the sixteen points only the person can get blessed.
