Suprabhaat.
We can get rid of misery only if we dismiss hatred, jealousy and greed from our own system. If we look deep and honestly enough, we do have some of these maladies. So, in order to enjoy a world of peace and happiness we need to evacuate these first.
And at the root of these is actually the cause; Fear.
Fear is what makes us have negative traits like jealousy and hatred.
We fear because we are ignorant of our true nature, which is Chaitanyam atma- we are a part of Shiva's energy, complete in ourselves, therefore not only are we adequate, we are actually abundant, and there is no need for comparison or greed.
Thus too, Shiva's right hand raised in a gesture of blessing actually is the Abhay mudra-'Fear not'. Swami Vivekananda attached the greatest importance to being fearless and this happens when we make a conscious effort to know our own Divine nature and connection with Shiva.
'Shri Ganesh' means to begin your journey now, today is the first day of the rest of your life.
Aum Namah Shivaye.
