Value of A Smile
Be generous with your smiles. The good that they can do for yourself and for others is far reaching.
Smiling at a person who is troubled or who feels lonely or friendless can be worth a great deal more to him than you can realize. It will less alone in the world and it will give him new strength to work towards over coming his problems .
You may feel that you do not know just the right things to say to express your feelings to one who is troubled and needs your friendship. Often a smile that implies, “ I understand , I want to help you if I can; I am here if you need me, I am your friend, “ is of more value than any words.
Some persons fail to return a friendly smile. Make it a point to smile at everyone you meet and to accompany the smile with a pleasant , cheerful greeting . Soon everyone around you will smiling and you will be surrounded by good cheer and friendliness.
Smile, whether you feel like smiling or not and you will be surprise at how soon you will be feeling better.
Among other wonderful things that it can accomplish, a smile can win a new friend , help to heal a wound, influence a prospective employer in considering and application, clear away anger, lighten cares and improve a bad mood.
Smiles are priceless thing and yet they cost nothing. Spread them freely and receive the price less rewards that are sure to follow wherever you go. –“East and West Series.”
We would rather praise and man than follow his teachings.
Quote from Gita
From what has been said so far, it is easy to understand why all of us are not born with the same intellectual capacity. Or why the mind and body of each person is dissimilar from those of every other person. Or why there exist natural differences in our mental and spiritual lives. The theory of rebirth alone can explain this. Western scholars try to explain away these obvious differences by saying that the child derives its qualities-good and bad-from its parents. There is no doubt that to a large extent the child inherits various diseases and mental characteristics from its parents. When the child is in no respect similar to its parents, they try to ascribe it to the differences in education. In this way the parents and the teachers are bounded with the sole responsibility. These scholars can offer no other solution to explain the differences among people.
The Vedanta scriptures say that these differences are due to karma, our past actions. Whoever we perform any action, it is done with a purpose in order to achieve that purpose, we activate the forces. Within us and around us in a particular way. Once all these forces are awakened and activated, they cannot but produce certain changes as a result. Thee changes are experienced or considered by us a good, or bad , joyful or sorrowful. If experienced as good or joyful, the mind wanted to hold on to the changes for all time. On the other had, if the changes are experienced as bad or sorrowful, or those which would surely bring sorrow in the future, then the mind tires to get rid of them by all possible means . in this way our work produces joy or sorrow and also leads to more work, just as from a seed springs from a tree which in turn produces flowers, fruits, and more seeds. It is clear that this life is not sufficient is experiences the results of all our work in the form of joy and sorrow. These effects are thus experience in the next bright.
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

Meditation
First Step in the Discipline of the Mind
It will be seen that the first step in the discipline of indolence. This is the easiest step, and until it is perfectly accomplished the other steps cannot be taken. The clinging to indolence constitutes a complete barrier to the Path of Truth. Indolence consists in giving the body more ease and sleep than it requires, in procrastinating, and in shirking and neglecting those things which should receive immediate attention. This condition of laziness must be overcome by rousing up the body at an early hour, giving it just the amount of sleep it requires for complete recuperation and by doing, promptly and vigorously, every task and duty to matter how small, as it comes along.
Work done is true sprit of mediation

Who is a free man?
To laugh is to risk appearing a fool;
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental;
To reach out for another is to risk involvement;
To express your feelings is t risk exposing your true self,
To love is to risk not being loved in return;
To live is t risk dying;
To believe is to risk despair;
To try is to risk failure;
But , risk we must, because the graters hazard in life is to risk nothing;
The people who risk nothing , do nothing, have nothing and are nothing;
They may avoid suffering and sorrow, but they cannot learn , feel, change, grow , love or life
Chained by their attitudes they are salves; they have given away their freedom.
ONLY THE MAN WHO RISKS IS A FREE MAN.

Remedy!
For every worry under the sun,
There is a remedy, or there is none
If there is one, try and find it
If there be none , never mind it.
Good characters gives a man strong personality
Personality includes a man’s character, intelligence, noble qualities , moral conduct, intellectual attainments, certain striking faculties , special traits or characteristics, bearing countenance, voice, etc. it is the personality that distinguishes one man from another
Good character gives a strong personality to man. People respect such a man. Personality can be developed . the practice of virtues is indispensable .one should try to be always cheerful . you must know how t be behave and adjust yourself to other people . you must talk sweetly and gently . you must be polite , civil and courteous. You must treat, others with respect and consideration. Humility is a virtue that subdues the hearts of others.
Behavior I most important . An arrogant, stubborn and self willed man can never have a strong personality . he is disliked by all. Be not agitate in your speech. Do not become nervous. When you great a person, do not stand erect like the man who holds the gaslight in a marriage procession. Gently bow your head and pay respect.
Quote from Gita
The doer without desire .
Who does not boost of his deed,
Who is ardent , enduring,
Untouched by triumph,
In failure untroubled;
He is a man of sattwa,
The does with desire.
Hot for the prize of vainglory,
Brutal, greedy and foul,
In triumph too quick to rejoice.
In failure despairing.
He is a man of rajas.
The indifferent doer
Whose heart is not in his deed,
Stupid and stubborn,
A chest, and malicious,
The idle lover of delay,
Easily dejected.
He is a man of tams.
Bhagavad Gita.
Laugh
Are you waiting for your favorite colour?
She stopped her car at the read traffic light the light turned green, absorbed in her own thought, she didn’t notice the change until the gentleman in the following car came out and politely asked her, “Madam, are you waiting for your favorite colour?
By silence I hear other men’s imperfections and conceal my own.

How to Make Best Use of Time?

Monday 16 November-2009

How to Make Best Use of Time?
How easy it is to waste time ! Nothing is more frustration or tiring either . we get tired merely from thinking about a difficult job or all the jobs we should do. We waste time by thinking about them instead of taking them. And we get as tired as though we had done a hard day’s work. In order to make the best use of time we have to;
Get on with it; it is so tempting to say to oneself; ‘I will do it in a few minutes”, or ‘I will do that tomorrow”,
Get on with it now!...
Stick at it: of course we have to be sensible about how long we keep on. Short breaks for coffee and a chat can help but not unless we set a definite time limit to them.
The best use of time is achieved by sticking at a job working at a steady pace.
Do the important things first. Get your priorities right and tackle important matters while you are fresh and your energy is at its peak.
If you waste time unnecessarily with unimportant work, you tire yourself out for nothing and end up worrying about all the rest that should have been done first.
Any essential job which you rather dislike should rank high in your priority list. The longer you leave it,, the less inviting it will be. You will keep thinking about it and it will worry you.
An important job well done gives you an emotional lift.
Plan your day, if you plan wisely, you will not overload yourself with an impossible programme. You will train yourself not to be upset it something happens to disarrange your day.
If you are making the best us of time, a minor interruption will not make all that much difference in the long run.
Live and work at a steady rhythm: once you master the art of working steadily : you will certainly make the best us of time.
When we live and work to a steady rhythm we do it within our capacity of achievement and enjoyment. Not too much, no too little but just enough . This is the golden rule for a happy and contented life because it makes the best use of time wisely.
Man’s behavior towards man is the true test of civilization.
Our enemies come nearer the truth in the opinion they from of us than we do in our opinion of ourselves.
Monkey and Mirror
The monkey once chanced to get a mirror. When he looked at his own image, he thought that the monkey is the mirror had a funny face. It grinned. The image, too, grinned. The Monkey thought that the creature in the mirror was mocking . He got wild. This reflection of his own face made him feel that the monkey in the mirror as ferocious. He got terrified and regarded the monkey in the mirror as dangerous. He retreated in fear. He saw the image retreating too. He gave smile. He saw the image too smiling then the Monkey thought of the creature in the mirror as a kind hearted one. He felt happy. He found the creature in the mirror happy too. The Monkey thought that it had to a friend in the mirror and carried it away –
Quote from Gita
Vedanta divides all our karma into five groups; the obligatory (nitya),the forthcoming(agami), the accumulated(sancita), the activated (prarabdha), and the prohibited (pratisiddha), Obligatory karma like ablutions and twilight devotions(sandhya-vandana) should be done daily. One doesn’t get any special result by doing them, but their neglect cause demerit. The scriptures prohibit stealing, killing and other such things-these are called prohibited karma. The accumulated karma is that which we did in our earlier births but have not as yet reaped its results. Some of its is being exhausted in the present life; we experience this karma in the form of healthy or unhealthy body and mind as well as in our life’s various struggles. This is called activated karma. Forthcoming karma is that which is done in this life or that which will be the cause of our nest birth.

Youyh Today

Youth Today
Youth is an expression of exuberance. Youth is adaptable aggressive, and emotional. Youth is like flowing water which sparkles a flower with enchanting fragrance that spreads, a beautiful smiling baby that tickles. Youth is a sharpened knife. Use it for surgery. It saves. Use it for stabbing, it kills.
The very impression that there is something wrong with the youth is mis-conceived, illogical and erroneous. It is the hollow minds, faulty imagination and wrong understanding that find fault with the youth.
If you are not to be blamed who else are to be blamed? If youth are to be blamed what for are they to be blamed?
Parents are responsible for the attitude of the youth. Today’s parent has time to make wealth for material benefits but does not find time to sit wait the children, to study them, to watch them and to inspire them. They have no time to understand the children’s ambitions, aspirations talents. Moods and movements. Thus the youth is ignored and they become desperate. The youth needs constant watching incessant understanding, steadfast instruction and inspiration. Parents feel their job is over once the children are entrusted to the school. While little time is spent at school most of the time is spent at home, which is never utilized to harness the talents and ambitions of the children.
We are racing so fast, expanding the higher education so wide, that it is producing imperfect, stereotyped, and immature youth. When the youth are immature, lack of understanding , imagination and sagacity, to harness in and inspire, do you expect them to move in the right direction?
Old order changes yielding place to new, is not change imminent, natural and refreshing? How wrong we are attempting to curb the evolution! Everything is destined to change . Move with the change, but weed out the evil in the change.
As long as you protect the interests, ambitions, ideals of the youth harnessing their talent, their in exhaustive resources, unending imagination to enrich themselves and the nation, no power on the face of the Earth, will curb our youth. The honest and efficient youth can make the world a paradise.
If life were predictable it would cease to be life, and be without flavour.
Every noble life leaves its fiber interwoven forever in the work of the world.
The want of a good excuse never kept a villain form crime.
Misfortune springing from ourselves are the hardest to bear.
Quote from Gita
Intense Peace in the Midst of Intense Action
It is said that a human being is “ a condensed universe.” What exists in the macrocosm, also exists in the microcosm-all of it, but in a condensed manner. On the other hand, what exists in the microcosms has also its vast counterpart in the outer world. Just as within us exists the yet-to-be realized sate of non-work in the midst of work, so also in the other world there is always present the serene peace of non-work even in the midst of continues change and movement.
At first glance this statement may appear preposterous. Is it ever possible to see a motionless, non-working dimension in this world, which is changing in various ways every moment? The illumined philosopher says that action and non-action, movement and rest-like the other pairs of opposites, such as pleasure and pain, light and darkness-are simultaneously present in this world. We get the idea of action and movement only by comparison with their opposites, non-action and rest. Where such comparison is not possible, we cannot perceive even action and movement. Not only do we not perceive them, but what we call action and movement do not really exist there. We see continuous movement and action in the world by perceiving and comparing the different conditions of various things. But if we consider the enteric world as just one entity and try to perceive moment in it, we cannot. That is the dimension of peace , rest and non-action. …

Let The Rose Grow Within You

Monday, November 2, 2009
Let The Rose Grow Within You
Once a man planted a rose plant and watered it regularly. One day, he saw a bud appearing on the plant. Suddenly he felt that the bud cannot blossom into a beautiful flower as the plant is infested with thorns all over. He was so saddened and despaired that he stopped watering the plant. Soon it died..
The simple tale has a lot to do with us. Very few of us realize that thee is a rose within us. The God-like sweet qualities are implanted in our hearts when we are born. They grow amid the thorns of our faults. When we look at ourselves and others we see only faults beyond mending. We despair, thinking that nothing good can possibly be found in and around us. We totally neglect or fail to find the hidden goodness in us and we never realize our own latent potential to improve an change ourselves.
Sometimes we need someone else to show what we are. One of the greatest gifts we possess is our ability to overcome the thorns within us and find our own good ‘self’. This is the chief characteristic of love, which helps us look at the persons, knowing their faults, recognize their nobility and help them to overcome their faults. If we show them the rose, they can conquer the thorns. Hence it is our duty to help others by showing their roses and not merely their thorns. Only then it is possible to develop harmony among people around us.
(From Inspiration Quote)
Harmonizing One’s Thoughts and Speech, the Principal Practice. Quote from essence of Gita
The chief practice for this is to make our thoughts and speech agree with one another . Sir Ramakrishna used to say that real spiritual practice consist of making our thought and speech one. If we make our thoughts and speech the same and pray to God, won’t He answer our prayer? Remember the story of Dhruva; In the forest he prayed to God after making his thoughts and speech one. There was none to help him; he didn’t even have the help of a teacher. Because he had made his thoughts and speech one, God gave him a teacher and blessed him with His vision. Once we make our thoughts and speech identical, God will provide us with whatever we need. Even in the Gita , Sri Krishna tells us; “Make your thoughts and speech one.”
Humour in Life
Once a farmer awakened his hired hand just before Sunrise. They dressed up and then had breakfast. When the breakfast was over the hired hand said, “How about having lunch right now. We can save time by finishing it now. Then we wont have to stop work at all at noon. What do you say?’’
The farmer thought the idea was worth a try, so then and there they ate their lunch.
Then the hired hand said , ‘if we eat our supper now, we can work straight through till it’s dark why don’t we do that?’
The farmer thought that sounded good, too, so they immediately sat down to “Supper”.
When the meal was finished the hired man began taking off his shoes.
“What are you doing now?’ there farmer asked.
“Well”, said the hired hand, “I always go to bed right after supper”.
All things which have a soul, change and possess in themselves more according to the law and to the order of destiny.
