Be Fair
One of Charles Read’s novels bear the title ‘Put yourself in his place.’
We will be the happiest on this planet if we make a habit of living with these five words until the practice becomes second nature to us. These five words, lived, not merely read, will put us on the road to maturity and self-fulfillment, because we will think twice before passing judgment on someone else. Such moments arise when that someone else has a point of view different from ours and wants to stand for his right as we do for ours.
At such a moment of stress when you are overcome with doubt and disbelief, aggressiveness and fear, say to yourself” what would I do if I were in his place”? Fight for your rights if you must, but not out of hatred or revenge. Friendship is desperately needed in these chaotic times. And the first light and glow of friendship with others starts when, at a moment of irrationality, you ask yourself,” what would I do if I were in his place?”
Most important of all, you must have a sense of fair play with yourself. Never denounce yourself because of an error; never become a displaced person because of it. at such a time, ask yourself “would I do this to my best friend?”
My thoughts
“My thoughts”, said the wanderer to his shadow, “should show me where I stand; but they should not betray me where I am going. I love my ignorance of the future and do not which to perish of impatience and of tasting promised things ahead of time.”
Knowledge tempered with experience will become wisdom.
True heroism is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others at whatever cost.
Knowledge tempered with experience will become wisdom.
Laws control the lesser man. Right conduct controls the greater one.
Happiness lies not in the mere possession of money. It lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort.
Quality needs no recommendation but only needs introduction.
Our present conditions are the result of our past actions.
The best intentions alone will not always ensure success.
Great things to learn
Humility in success and power, patience and perseverance in failures, are the great things one has to learn. Many get ruined without following this rule!
The Mystic Way
The mystic way is a strange way.
It is hidden and yet not hidden;
It is open and not open;
It is dark and yet not dark.
It is winding and straight, broad and narrow, rough and smooth.
Strange way is this mystic way-
And more strange without a Guide.
Poor wayfarers oft are standard and sit at its very gate, not knowing it is there.
One who leads thee through its mysterious doors is they Spirit Friend.
Trust Him with all they heart;
There is no truer Guide.
Torch of Faith He will give thee, and a staff of Endurance.
When thou art thus equipped and set on this mystic road,
The hidden will be disclosed before the torch of Faith.
All darkness and dangers will cease to be.
Thou who criest for peace , only then wilt though know peace.

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 10 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

The Best I can Ever Be
A Prince was taking a stroll in his beautiful garden, when a sudden doubt crossed his mind .Of what use was the garden? Did every thing in the garden benefit him as the owner?
Going near a mongo tree, the prince asked it, “Tell me, what are you doing for me?”
Going near a mongo tree, the prince asked it, “Tell me, what are you doing for me?’
In answer the mango tree said,” When the hot summer arrives, my branches are loaded with the most delicious mangoes. Your gardeners gather them, and they are served to you and your guests”.
The prince was very pleased.
“Well done”, he said to the mango tree.
Next , his eye fell on a huge banyan tree. It bore no fruit. The prince wondered what it could be doing for him.
“Tell me what you do for me?’ he demanded of the banyan tree.
“I beer no fruit like the mango tree”, the banyan replied. “ But I have my own uses. On my branches rest the chirping birds which sing their beautiful songs to wake you at dawn. And further , my spreading branches give shelter to your sheep and cattle!”
“Well done”, said the prince.
He now moved to the vast meadows of grass. the grass gave no fruit and could shelter none.
“What are you doing for me?’ he asked the grass.
“We give our life so that your sheep and cattle may be nourished”, the grass replied.
‘Well done!” exclaimed the prince.
His eye fell on a little daisy that grew amid the lush grass….
“Little one, what are you doing for me?” he asked the tiny flower.
“Nothing! Nothing!” exclaimed the daisy. “I give you no delicious fruits. I cannot offer nests to your birds, nor shade for your cattle, nor nourishment for your sheep and cows. All I can do is to be the best little daisy that I can ever be!”
The words went deep into the heart of the prince. Kneeling down, he kissed the little daisy.
“Well done little flower! There is no one like you, and I shall always wear you in my buttonhole to remind me that I must also be the best that I can ever be!’
Force is all-conquering, but its victories are short-lived.
The more argument you win, the fewer friends you will have.
Great talker are never great doers.
By practice , association and habit, thoughts tend to repeat themselves.
Tremendous Inner Strength
God places so many seeming difficulties in the path of our life. Only to enable us to know how to master them and gain tremendous inner strength.

Excessive Authority
Excessive authority, without liberty, is intolerable; but excessive liberty , without authority and without responsibility , soon becomes equally intolerable.
The hand of Grace
When I place my hand of faith in Thy Hand of Grace,
I feel secure and walk with free spirit.
When I walk with Thee, mountains of obstacles melt before my feet.
I am always safe when Thou dost lead me by The Hand of Grace.

Be genrous

Be generous with Praise
Speak to people , there is nothing as nice as a cheerful word of greeting.
Smile at people, it takes 72 muscles to frown.. only 16 to smile.
Call people by name; the sweetest music to anybody’s ear is the sound of their own name.
Be sincerely cordial; speak and act as it were a genuine pleasure.
Be considerate of the feelings of others.
Be thoughtful of the opinion of others; there are three sides to a controversy-your’s the other man’s and the right side.
Be genuinely interested in people; you can like everybody if you try.
Be generous with praise. Praise uplifts, criticism lowers.
Be alert to render service; above all, what counts in life is what we do for others.
Be fair in your criticism; remember you opinion is personal with you and it may not be always correct.
Greatness of Bhagavad-Gita
Bhagavad-Gita is one of the most popular sacred books of mankind. It is like a glittering jewel in the treasure house of the great epic. Mahabharata. Set in simple style, it imparts practical wisdom and has a universal appeal due to its excellent message.
Bhagavad-Gita comprises 18 chapters, divided into three sections- Karma(Work). Upasana(Devotio) and Jnana(Knowledge) The discourse between Arjuna and Krishna on the battle field forms the subject matters of the Gita, and it was the great sage Vyasa who made it an inseparable part of Mhabharata. The Gita has 700 verses in all.
The Gita has four speakers- Krishna, Arjuna, Sanjaya and the blind king Dhritirashtra.
The central teaching of the Gita is the attainment of freedom, by performing ones duty in life. The teachings are valid for all age groups and all occasions.
It is said that a man who recites the 18 chapters daily, with steady mind, attains the perfection of knowledge.
Thus , everyone who wished to make life worth living and achieve something precious must recite Bhagavadgita with devotion.
Punch Line
We should look long and carefully at ourselves before we pass judgment on our fellows.
O God! Teach us to spare for others at least something out of so much we are collecting from your rich universe.
A humble bee extracts essence from all kinds of flowers; like wise, a wise man collects essence from all the scriptures.
He is a wise who dies not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has.
Affection blinds reason.
The happiness you give makes you happier than the happiness you receive
It is for us to make effort. The result is always in the hands of God. Satisfaction lies in the effort not in the attainment. .
Maker of the Beautiful
It is beauty I love.
Thought like the foolish moth
Oft I burn my limbs in the flame;
Yet evermore my soul craves its attainment.
Beauty in the rose draws my heart;
Beauty of dawn exalts my soul;
Stillness of the nights fills me with wonder;
Beauty of face and beauty of sight
Awaken in my soul love and ever greater love.
In love and with love
I seek the Maker of the Beautiful.
