Where is Happiness?
Every day, everywhere seeks happiness, it is true. But finding it and keeping it seems difficult to do. Difficult because we think that happiness is found only in the places where wealth and fame abound.
And so we go on searching in “Palaces of pleasure” seeking recognition and monetary treasure, unaware that happiness is just a “state of mind”. Within the reach of everyone who takes time to be kind.
For in making others happy we will be happy, too. For the happiness you give away return to “shine on you”.
Happiness comes fro goodness in life
Possession does not provide happiness. It may even stimulate appetite for more and more and more. A new car every year. Woolen coats and pearl necklaces are beautiful to look at and delightful to possess. But they do not make even the possessor happy, except perhaps for a moment. But simple goodness does make for happiness. Happiness comes from goodness in life.
Art of Listening
Here are ten points that one must take care to do in order to develop the art of listening
 Be listener-centered instead of self-centered.
 Try to evaluate what the other speaker is saying. Curd negative emotional reactions to what you hear.
 Do not allow your feelings about the person who is talking to you influence your judgment. It breaks the rules of good listening.
 Never daydream when you are listening. Always be on guard against letting your mind wader during the conversation.
 Beware of being the type of listener who sits on edge and is ready to jump in and provide the answers rather than to stand by to ask more questions.
 When the person is speaking to you, do not let your mind work to figure out how you can disagree with him.
 While the speaker is talking, never pretend you are just listening. If you let your mind wander, the person speaking to you is the first to detect it.
 Beware of setting yourself up as an unsympathetic listener at the mention of such things as religion, nationally or political preference.
 Do not be a restless listener. Be calm and relaxed.
 Beware of becoming what you might call an open mouth listener, one who must say something each time the speaker stops to catch his breath.

Alcohol is harmful
Many people suffer from illusions about the effects of alcohol. medical Science has conclusive evidence to show that these beliefs are baseless.
Alcohol does not warm you up on a cold night. By dilating blood vessels alcohol produces false sense of warmth but in reality impairs regulatory mechanisms and makes you more prone to catching cold.
Alcohol does not sharpen appetite. In fact it reduces appetite and desire for essentials foodstuffs and thus leads to malnutrition.
Moderate intake of alcohol too is harmful. The development of liver disease is not proportional to the amount of alcohol taken, even small intake of alcohol can lead to cirrhosis.
Alcohol does not increase sexual pleasure and performance. Its leads to decreased levels of male hormone thereby leading to decreased sexual pleasure and performance. –(Courtesy; Ministry of Social Welfare)
Whatever you see is thins world is but the glory of God. All fear of this world will disappear the moment you realize Him..
Peace is a condition of mind brought about by the serenity of soul. Lasting peace can come only to peaceful people.
Two things are necessary for the salvation of men: to know what he ought to desire and to know what he ought to do.
It is said that there is a particular time for everything to happen, one cannot go against that and make things that and make things happen.

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
