Learning is Not Acquired within College Campus

Learning is not something acquired within college campus. Learning is something happening inside you, that awakens the mind. Flexes your mental powers, sensitizes your awareness, arouses your appreciation, raises your sights and your insights. Learning spurs your ambition to erase the mistakes of the past, and to excel what others have accomplished.

The Balancing

Do we have likes and dislikes or do likes and dislikes have us? As unconscious beings, likes and dislikes control our lives. Conscious beings are masters of likes and dislikes. When likes and dislikes are under your control, they will serve you.

It is wrong to say that we have to live only in the present. One needs to consider time as past, present and future. Some people operate from the past. Some are future-oriented and so they mostly operate from the future and some are presentoriented . To be wise involves balancing the three time periods... when required you have to take reference from the past or consider the future. Hence balancing time is very essential.

Do not reject the past or future. Also do not live only in the past or future. Learn from the past, enjoy the present and plan for the future. Be present in the past and thereby learn from the past, be present in the future, thereby plan for the future. Being alive in the present, you will enjoy the present.

It is said that, one of the reasons Hitler lost the war was because he did not learn from history. He attacked Russia in winter. Had he learnt from history, he would have known that Napoleon had lost many of his men by attacking Russia in winter.

One can learn from the past as well as from the future taking care not to be imprisoned by both. Similarly, while planning for the future, do not lose the present and miss the wisdom of the past or the opportunities in the future. Hence, one needs to be balanced with reference to time.
Decide on your priorities in life. Prioritise your priorities. Establish your peak performance time during a day. Monitor your low performance time. Do any important task at your peak performance time. Do any less important task at your low performance time. Identify your time wasters. Learn to delegate work.
Enjoy your work and you will find there is a lot of time. Review your priorities from time to time. Be with people who are good at time management. Just as the past was the present at one point of time, the future will also be the present at another point of time. So be present in the past and also be present in the future. Therefore, the present is more real.

One hour. One hour has 60 minutes. A minute has 60 seconds. Further, break down the second and still further, the present will lose itself into ‘is-ness’ . Time will melt into timelessness . Use time to go beyond time.

Within us, there is a dimension of time and beyond time. We live in two worlds, a world of the mind, which is in time and a world beyond the mind that is timelessness. When we are in sleep or in samadhi, we go beyond mind and experience timelessness.

One should have the wisdom to use the mind and the wisdom to go beyond the mind. In a state of deep joy, we are beyond our minds. Mind is a bundle of thoughts. More than heart attacks, we suffer from thought attacks.

When thoughts attack us, we become victims of thoughts. It is like employing someone and then being thrashed by him. You should be the master of the mind rather than the mind being your master. You should use the mind rather than let the mind use you. The very intention to be the master of the mind will give you the wisdom of how to use the mind.

I Derive Joy

There was a doctor in Benaras who spent 5 minutes in the morning and evening for mediation on God. Knowing this, his colleagues and friends laughed at him. One day they argued that he was wasting ten precious minutes on something, which he had been misled into believing. The doctor replied, “Well, if God does not exist, I agree that I am wasting ten minutes a day. But, if He exists? I am afraid you are wasting your entire lifetime. I prefer to waste ten minutes rather than a lifetime. Why should you grudge me the ten minutes joy that I derive from? I am not robbing you of your joy; why should you rob me of mine. He asked. The critics were silenced. –Baba- Chinna Katha

Look within (Recycled story c/f)

Monday, July 21, 2008

Well done is better than well said.

When people cease to complain , they cease to think.

Healthy , well-informed and balanced criticism is the ozone of public life.

Where boasting ends, there dignity begins.

Aim at the sun, and you may not reach it, but your arrow will fly far higher than if aimed at an object on a level with yourself.

We cannot see outside what we are not inside.

Experience is the best of schoolmasters. Only the school fee is heavy.

Look Within

The quality of our lives depends more on what we are inside than outside. But how many of us really look within? We need to think right. Hence it is essential to look within and create an order therein .

We are programmed to believe that happiness is outside. We are products of such programming. It has been ingrained in us that joy and happiness are outside and the myth governs our lives. The process of thinking involves flow of thoughts. Thoughts move outward in search of happiness, name, fame, money or power. Happiness however does not result from material affluence. It is a result of our attitude to life .

Happiness is a result of our being totally in the present. Enlightenment happens in the present. But our lives are always focused either on the past or future. Life is in the present. So be present in the present. Then a different ‘presence’ opens up. Whatever you are doing, be total in it. Bring in your totality of being in the ‘here and now’ .

When you are looking at a flower, can you just look? If you look at it from thoughtfulness, thoughts interpret it as a good or bad flower. A thought compares it with something else. By this you don’t look, you superimpose. The discipline to look at something without thoughts is important. When you require using your thoughts, only then should you bring in a thought. Try this out.

When unnecessary thoughts pile up, they become pockets of energy. When negative thoughts pile up they seed negative attitude, enforcing negative thoughts. These in turn superimpose energy on the objects of thought, making them appear negative. The influences that are created in life, be they in a form of war, politics, violence, are the result of the influence of negative energy that either becomes real or superimposed .

When your immune system is weak you are prone to disease. Similarly, when your psychological immune system is weak you are prone to negative influences. A negative thought requires no effort. It comes from the lower mind that is mechanical. Noble thoughts have to come from the higher mind that is more conscious and magnetic .

A faulty attitude injures and harms us. We end up making wrong connections. And when we are not proceeding in the right direction, we suffer the consequences.

There is male energy in the female and female energy in the male. Since we are progenies of both genders, we have in us both male and female energies. They have to be in harmony for us to be able to function in a way that gives us the right direction. When you create an external harmony, you create an internal harmony also. By loving a man outside, you love the male energy in you. When you hate a woman outside, a very important part of you, the internal female energy is also dwarfed and injured .

In everyone of us there is both a teacher and a student. Our centre is a teacher teaching us in the language of silence, in the language of purity. The student in us should learn to listen to the teaching. When we do injustice to an external teacher, we are doing injustice to a part of ourselves. By respecting both a student and a teacher outside, we respect something in us .

When there is right attitude, the wisest connection is made. For objective consciousness should include the subject, too.

Making mistakes

All of us commit mistakes. However much we wish to be perfect we err and brood over it for quite a long time. It may be a miscalculation, misjudgment or misconception of any aspect of life. When we realize our mistake, we are full of tension, unable to concentrate, feel sleepless and even unable to find peace of mind. It is because we have come to know our mistake. Subsequently, we develop the fear of making a mistake again, which is the worst mistake of all. Such a fear creates uncertainty, and inferiority. It makes our image shrink. Should one continue with this inner fear?

We must come out of that state of mind. After all, mistake can be corrected, so why should we endlessly? Why should we give up hope and belief in ourselves before we try to find out our potential to correct and improve? True greatness lies not so much in making a mistake as in rising above it.

We are all mistake-makers, but thank God we have the power to be mistake-breakers. The capacity to rise above a mistake is the beginning of success. Mistakes give us an opportunity to find out our true worth. We must see that we correct ourselves and do not repeat the mistake. Wang Yangming, a Chinese philosopher said. The sages do not consider that making no mistakes is blessing, but they believe that the great virtue of man lies in his ability to correct himself and continually to make a new man of himself.

Keep An Attitude of Gratitude.

An attitude of gratitude-that is being grateful for everything God sends us- is a key to praying effectively. And it is a quality that takes some effort to cultivate on a daily basis.

One of my teachers , Rabbi Zelig Pliskin in his book “Gateway to Happiness”, relates the story of a man who one day decided to spend a few minutes appreciating his morning cup of coffee. It was a part of his daily routine and, God forbid, if something went wrong and he had to go without it, he surely missed it.

As he began to ponder over this cup of coffee, he jotted down his thoughts. First he noted that coffee beans grew in Brazil, and someone had to plant the trees and tend them until the coffee beans reached maturity. Then workers had to pick the beans had to be roasted and ground and packed for shipping. There was tremendous work involved in the shipping industry, which allowed the coffee to reach the United States in time. This alone required hundreds of people. Finally, the coffee beans arrived in his grocery store.

But that was not all. The water for the coffee was boiled. The matchbox could not be left out. He drank his coffee with milk, so the dairy industry had to be considered and all the work involved from the time the milk left the cow until it reached his coffee cup.

At the need of writing eagerly for half an hour, the man had not even begun to describe the cup, saucer and teaspoon he used, the table he place them on, or the chair he sat on.

For the first time, he became aware of thousands of people whose work was necessary for him to have that cup of coffee. This awareness led him to a most intense spiritual experience. He prayers for the next few weeks were with a deep feeling of gratitude to his fellow human beings all of whom made it possible for him to exist on his planet.

He became aware of the thousands of people necessary for him to have a cup of coffee.

Now that is what appreciating a cup of coffee did for this man. But what about all the things that had happened that same morning before he came into the kitchen?

These same things happen to all of us in much the same order, and we can easily imagine the sequence of events; First, he woke up-there , he was alive! He opened his eyes and watches the objects in his bedroom come into focus. Yes he had eyesight. Then he moved his hand to rum his eyes. For his hand to move, thousands of electrical and chemical changes had to take place in his body and travel from his brain to his arm.

He looked at the alarm clock and murmured, “I better get going”, He did not give it a second thought that everything in his body was functioning just find he had eyesight, he had mobility, he had consciousness.

God made sure that he had all these things, but man took them for granted each and every day much the same way he had taken his coffee for granted.

When his coffee was not there one morning, he missed it. He appreciated it more when he was deprived of it, when he had run out of coffee beans, or the oven malfunctioned and he could not boil water. How much more would he have missed his eyesight , his limbs, his mind!

Recycled Story C/F

Monday, July 07, 2008
You Make Your Own Happiness.
Abraham Lincoln said that people were just about as happy as they made up their minds to be. You can be happy if you want to be. It is the easiest thin in the world to accomplish. Just choose unhappiness. Go around telling yourself that things are not going well, that nothing is satisfactory, and you can be quite sure of being unhappy. But say to yourself, “Things are going nicely. Life is good. I choose happiness”, and you can be quite sure of having your chose.
To a large extent many of us make our own happiness by our thoughts and attitudes. Anyone who applies the right formula may become a happy person.
In a train journey, I sat opposite a father and daughter who are strangers to me. Obviously the girl’s manners where unpleasant and her complaints frequent. She found the train service terrible, food not fit to react. I noticed, however, that she ate the food and enjoyed it.
Her father looked at me. “My daughter”, he said “is in the manufacturing business.”
“What does she manufacture”? I asked curiously.
“Un happiness”, he replied, “She manufactures her own unhappiness”. His explanation describes exactly what most people do –they manufacture their won unhappiness.
It is pity that life itself provides enough problems to dilute our happiness. It is foolish to add to the difficulties further unhappiness with our own minds. We manufacture our own unhappiness by entertaining unhappy thoughts. Perhaps you feel that other people are getting what they do not deserves and you are failing to get what you do deserve. That belief produces envy, self-pity and resultant misery. How then we proceed to make for ourselves happiness?
Our happiness or unhappiness depends to an important degree upon the habit of mind we cultivate. Develop the happiness habit, and life will become a continual feast, i.e. you can enjoy life every day. Out of the happiness, habit comes a happy life. And because we can cultivate a habit, we have the power to create our own happiness.
The happiness habit is developed by simply practicing happy thinking. Make a mental list of happy thoughts and pass them through your mind several times a day. If an unhappy thoughts should enter your mind, immediately stop, consciously eject it, and substitute a happy thought. Every morning deliberately drop happy thoughts into your conscious mind. Such thoughts will help cause events to turn out that way.
The reason can be directly traced to the manner in which you began the day in your thoughts. A few such remarks as the following can help; “ I believe today is going to be a wonderful day. I believe I can successfully handle all problems that will arise today. I feel good, physically, mentally, and emotionally. It is wonderful to be alive. I am grateful for al that I have had for al that I now have, and for all that I shall have. God is with me n He will see me through”.
One of the most simple and basic of good principles is that of service to poor, sick and suffering men and women. It is amazing that happiness turns into a sincere expression of compassion and friendly helpfulness.
“Where love is”, Said Tolstoy, “God is”, and we might add, where God and love are, there happiness is .So, a practical principle in creating happiness is to practice love.
Expect little , give much, When we give, we expect at least an equal return. But if we make a habit of giving more than we get, we will find ourselves enjoying life more. It really works out that way. Do not think about getting your mother to do something for you; think about what you can do for her. And do not do this today only but every day.
Thus , having changed inwardly, you will begin to create happiness of such quality that you will wonder if you are living in the same world.
This is the secret of happiness. Get this experience and you will get real happiness, the best world can offer.
An Aspirant
A boat may stay in water, but water should not stay in the boat. An aspirant may live in the world, but the world should not live within him.
