Meditation On Peace And Happiness
Peace and happiness go hand in hand. What we imagine to be happiness is more often than not nothing but momentary, transitory feeling of pleasure. True joy is closely allied to pace. This mediation is so simple and so easy that you can practice if daily in sessions of seven ten minutes.
Step number on is the step of relaxation. Let us relax. Relax every muscle, relax every limb, relax every nerve of the body. Make it tension-free. If you like you may mentally picture the body in the form of a sac of potatoes. The sac is cut at the middle allowing the potatoes to roll out. How relaxed is the empty sack. Let the body feel relaxed, like wise.
Relax! Relax! Relax! Relax! Relax! Relax! Relax!
Now let the mind be free of the worries of the past and fears or expectations of the future. Let us live in the presents, the here and the now.
Now let us sit in a comfortable posture, so that we will not need to change it for a period of about ten minutes. Let us sit comfortably, preferably in a cross-legged position and keep our spine erect. If you wish, if you prefer, you can sit in a chair, keeping you spine erect and your feet gently touching the floor. Now take in the deep breaths. As you breathe deeply be relaxed. Begin.
Breath in slowly, evenly, deeply.
Now exhale slowly completely.
Now imagine that as you breath in, you are inhaling the peace of God, the pace that passeth, surpasseth understanding . As you breathe out you are exhaling calmness all around. There is peace within you, there is calm around you. Reflect on this beautiful passage from the Vedas.
May there be peace in the firmament.
May the waters flow peacefully.
May all the divine powers bring unto us pace.
The Supreme Lord is peace.
May we all dwell in pace, peace , pace!
And may the peace come into each of us.
Now we com to the final step. Become aware of the rhythm of you breathing.
In- Out-In-Out-In-Out- In-Out
Feel actually, feel peace infusing your body , your mind, your hart and your soul.
Now let us rub the palms of our hands together, place them gently on the eyelids, and gently, very very , gently open the eyes. This is the and of this mediation.
Om Shanti!,Shani!,Shanti

Installing Love
Tech Support; Yes, Sir….how can I help you?
Customer; Well , after much consideration, I have decided to install Love. Can you guide me through the process?
Tech Support; Yes, I can help you, Are you ready?
Customer; Well, I am not very technical, but I think I am ready. What do I do first?
Tech support; The first step is to open your Heart.
Customer: Yes, but there are several other programmes running now . Is it okay to install Love while thy are running?
Tech support: What programmes are running, ma’am?
Customer: I have Past Hurt Low Self-Esteem, Grudge and Resentment running now.
Tech support: No problem, Love all gradually erase Past Hurt and will eventually override. Low Self-Esteem with a module of its own called High Self-esteem. However, you have to completely turn off Grudge and Resentment . Those prgrammes prevent Love from being properly installed.
Customer: But I don’t know how to turn them off.
Tech support: go to your start menu and invoke Forgiveness.
Customer; Okay, done! Now Love has started installing itself, is that normal?
Tehc support; Yes, but remember that you have you have only the base pragramme. You need to begin connecting to other Hearts in order to get the upgrades. Love is Freeware. Be sure to give it and its various modules to everyone you meet. They will in turn share it with other and return some cool modules to you.
Customer; Thank you.

The pilot of the plane began to laugh uncontrollably.
“What is so funny?” asked the passenger.
“Oh”, said the pilot, “I was just wondering what they’ll say at the asylum when they discovered I have escaped.”
You don’t have to control thoughts, you just have to stop letting them control you.
The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.

Wings For Flight
It is not ambition that lifts us to our goal;
Nay , not ambition,
But our humble acts, void of self.
Give us wings for flight!

I drive 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

Great consulting room

Monday, February 16, 2009
Great consulting room
A great library contains the diary of the human race. The great consulting room of a wise man in a library.
A hungry man has no faith!
A man was nearly dying of hunger. The devil cam to him and offered him food to him and offered him food if the man would sell him his faith. The hungry man agreed. But when he had eaten his food he refused saying. “What I sold you when I was hungry did not exist, for a hungry man has no faith”.
Music is God
George Bernard Shaw, the famous writer, heard the bewitching performance of yehudi Menuhin in London in 1929. After the concert Shaw said, “Listening to such an artist like Yehudi makes even the atheist believe in God”.
Please wait for a minute
A devotee once prayed to Lord Shiva to grant a boon. Pleased Shiva appeared before him and asked him what he wished for. Devotee; “Oh Lord! What is a million years for you?”
Shiva :”A minute!”
Devotee; “Oh Lord! What is a million rupees for you?”
Shiva; “A pie”.
Devotee; “I want a pie”.
Shiva :”Please wait for a minute!”
The devotee became speechless with amazement!
Essential qualities
Truthfulness, sincerity, honesty, bravery, mercy, compassion, sympathy to others, and gentle words-these are essential qualities expected of a seeker of heaven.
Scientific facts
Fishbone are used as fertilizers.
Dreams spring from hidden desires
Plants hidden from sunshine’s become pale and sickly
Electricity can activate the growth of trees.
Sunlight is composed of all the colours.
Gif of penetration.
Men in general judge more from appearance than from reality. All men have eyes but few have the gift of penetration.
Live within , be not shaken by outward happenings.
There is no pillow as soft as a clear conscience.
The best way out of difficulties is through it.
What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity.
Capable of Greater things
Men are often capable of greater things they perform. They are sent into the world with bills of credit, and seldom draw to their full extent.
Moral Life
The moral life of man is like the fight of a bird in the air. He is sustained only by effort, and when he ceases to exert himself , he falls.
Conference
A conference is a gathering of important people who singly can do nothing , but together can decide that nothing can be done.
Do Not Try to Run Away!
Do not try to run away from difficulties ; for wherever you go thy will still be there with you but meet them calmly and bravely; face them with all the calmness at your command; measure their strength; understand them; attack them and finally defeat them. This will develop your strength and intelligence.
Dream
In This world of dream, my soul, dream a truer dream, Whose mighty pulse will lift thee to a high pinnacle.
And make thy body vibrant with new life.
Dream, my soul, of that happy realm.
Where joy abides alone in unbroken oneness.
And life reigns in eternal surety.
Dream my soul, where love dwells in harmony.
And beauty in its virgin loveliness.
Dream of divine ecstasy.
Whose eternal melody is sung by all created things.
Stop not dreaming this great dream
Till its speak to they soul with a living tongue.
Everlasting Embrace
The stream of my life is ever flowing on,
Perchance checked by an impassable rock,
As if blocked for all time from its goal,
Yet the yearning soul with feeble stroke
Finds its course through adamantine walls.
The stream of may life is ever flowing on;
Perchance in swift current,
Again slow and still as if stagnant,
But ever flowing on to find Thee, Thou ocean of life and bliss,
To join its little stream with Thine un compassed waters,
To find its wholeness in Thy Being
Overcoming obstacles and distance,
It is ever flowing on and on and on,
Till all separation cease in Thine ever lasting embrace.

Monday, February 09, 2009
Assertiveness.
Assertiveness is a technique to improve the way you get along with people and communicate you get along with people and communicate. They may not seem important. But you understand what a big difference you have made by communicating effectively. By being assertive and communicative you become clear but not rude. You tend to listen more to others so that you understand other’s view better. Learning to be assertive requires lot of effort. One has to be patient, and more amiable to acquire it. These two traits help you break away from rude behavior patterns.
In difficult situation most people end up being aggressive. Such situation most people end up being aggressive. Such situation leaves a bitter scar on one’s mind. Sometimes , though we are assertive, we won’t get what we want. But still it gives us the satisfaction that we have stood up for our views and respected others.
What is to be done to cultivate assertiveness?
One has to be direct in stating one’s expectation clearly. This directness clears all confusions.
Your calmness and composure sometimes expose the immaturity of others and perhaps , give you upper hand to handle a situation tactfully.
In order to be assertive, one need not necessarily be rude or bossy but one can still be assertive with polite but firm voice.
Little drops of Water
Little drops of water, little grains of sand.
Make the mighty ocean and the pleasant land.
So the little minutes, humble though they be.
Make the mighty ages of eternity.
It is wisdom
It is wisdom to leave that which has not arrived and to attend to that which is on hand with such concentration of effort as shall leave no loopholes for regret to creep in.
Investment in knowledge
If a man empties his purse into his head. No man can take it away from him. An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.
What is Fearlessness
Fearlessness should connote absence of all kinds of fear- fear of death, fear of bodily injury. Fear of hunger, fear of insult, fear of ghosts and evil spirits, fear of anyone’s anger . Freedom from all these and other such fears constitutes fearlessness.
Only flowers of Good Deeds
Only flowers of Good Deeds.
Blossoming through pure thoughts.
On the branch of true knowledge.
Emerging from the strong tree of faith.
Born from seeds of truth.
Sown with devotion and watered by purity.
Threaded together with the string of love
Is the fit garland for our beloved.
Friendship
Friendship appears to be a unique from of human bonding. Unlike marriage or the ties that bind parents and children, it is not defined or regulated by law. In enhances the feelings of warmth , trust , love and affection between two people.
When man casts me down
When man casts me down
God holds me up.
Seek thou not human aid
If thou wouldst be sustained by they Lord.

Healing Words

Monday, February 02, 2009
Harsh Word
There was a boy who had a bad temper. One day, his father gave him a bag of nails and told him that whenever he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence of the house. The first day the boy had hammered 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually reduced. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to hammer those nails into the fence. Finally, the day came when the boy did not lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested him to pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his tamper.
The day passed and that young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were taken out from the fence. The father took his son to the fence. He said,” you have done well my son but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same . when you say thing in anger , they leave a ‘scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. it wont matter how many times you say sorry, the wounds is still there. A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one”
Harsh words can leave wounds which may be difficult to heal
Love is God;.
Love is God. Where love is, there God certainly is. Love more and more people. Love them more and more intensely, transform the love into service, transform the service into worship.
Love And Affection
There are many things in this world can be brought for money. But love and affection can only be got by love and affection, let us not be found wanting in these human values which God has so mercifully gifted to us.
Key of the House
Ever fresh life and joy well up in my soul.
As I sit in. Thy Presence with open heart.
Thou didst hold the key of this house in Thy hand;
And I , not knowing the secret,
Have wandered long and far.
