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.
Samrat is a 24 yr old HR professional. On a regular day he 10 am and logs in, going into various online communities and chat-rooms. He leaves office around 6:30pm and logs in as soon as he reaches home. He is online almost as long as he is awake. Samrat is only one of the numerous people who live more in the virtual world than in the real one around them Samrat knows that.” Life is hectic and it’s very difficult for me to visit and call up my friends on a regular basis. It is far easier to keep in touch with them on line, since most them are on line too. But it is true that the virtual world is becoming very real for us. We are moving away from the world around us.” he says
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
