Sure Steps To Attain Your Goal
Success does not come to those who just watch the world pass by. You mist have your goal. Here are ten methods to help you reach your goal and achieve success.
Have a Dream: Write Down What you Wish To Achieve! Everything starts with dreams, desires, goals etc. they will always be more than you presently have. If they were not , you would not want them. The most important thing you can do is write these ideas down as they happen. You can then capture all that is important to you. With constant review in a short time, you will begin to realize how important each and every goal is and you will sub consciously work out ways to achieve them.
Your Needs: There are four types of needs you will take into account; a)Physical Needs; b)Emotional Needs)Social Needs; d)Financial Needs.
You will find your day-to-day living requires something from all these groups. For example your physical needs could be as simple as playing a game to keep you fit. Your financial needs will be such as to have as much money at your disposal to accomplish what you wish.
As your goals becomes more clear in your mind, you will be able to understand the importance of each of these four needs.
Plan Thoroughly: Now that you know what you want you will now need to start bridging the gap between where you are now and where you want to be. Now that you are in the practice of writing things down that are important to you , you may have started to plan and prepare. Prepare Thoroughly. You cannot lost it you plan well.
One step At A Time
Plan well, set realistic targets. Plan to succeed from the outset.
Always Be Positive: To get to your goal you will need to brush away the negative attitudes. A healthy positive attitude is not enough on its own but it will open your mind to the several possibilities that exist on your journey to bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be.
If you have a positive attitude to everything this will overflow into your achievement.
Persist Until You Succeed: Your desire for achievement will need to be supported with persistence.
With out being persistent, you may not get there. Where you get knocked down-getup again every knock down is simply a brief pause on the step during your ascendancy to the next floor. Learn from it and persist until you succeed.
Don’t Dream it! Be it!: Even the best, well thought out plan means nothing until its implementation. Action is the key. It is important to contemplated your next step before you take it with well structured plan.
Stay Active And Alert: Be up-to-date in your field of expertise so that you can always offer the best advise. Staying alert and active in your chosen field will give you an edge over your competitions.
Review Regularly: At regular intervals review your performance. Make comparisons with where you are compared with where you want to be. If it is not as good as you want either adjust the goal or the method for its achievement accordingly.
Do not disappointed if you cannot do it all at the first time as planned. You will need to confront obstacles in order to learn how to make things easier in the future. Making mistakes and adjusting you plan takes maturity. It come with extensive review and Self-analysis. The solutions will become simpler with periodical review of your targets.
Enjoy Yourself ; If you do not actively enjoy what you do, how can you expect to get so much from it? To be successful in what you do, you must really enjoy what you do.
We are all individually responsible . Follow your goal, enjoy it and you will reach your target. –(Courtesy Wisdom)
Quote from The Essence of Gita Scriptural Study and Practice Go Hand in Hand
We may study scripture or listen to lectures. But our study and learning will be in vain if we are not able to absorb the teachings and put them into practice in our lives. If the scriptures have no bearing on our lives or if they don’t become an aid in every situation of our lives, then all our study becomes useless. This is what should be learnt first everywhere, in student life or in married life or in monastic life. It is only then that scriptural knowledge will hold aloft before us the true purpose of life, raising us from wherever we may be and in whatever condition.
Swami Vivekananda used to say, “No one in India today understand the scripture. All end up confusing their brains after learning few worlds like Brahman, Maya, prakriti etc. Ignoring the main purpose of the scriptures, they only fight over words. If the scriptures cannot help us at all time sand in all conditions, then we don’t have a terrible need for such scriptures. If a scriptures can show the path to a monastic but not a married person, why would the married want such lopsided scripture? A scripture may help us only when we give up work and retire to a forest, but it may not help us in the din and bustle of the world, in the daily toil, in disease, sorrow and poverty, in the depression that follows repentance, in the revolt of the oppressed, in the cruelty on the battlefield, in lust, in anger, enjoy, in exuberance of victory, in the darkness of defeat , and finally, in the dark night of death. If the scripture cannot light the lamp of hope in such situations, then weak as we are, such a scripture is useless to us.
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

Get Rid of The Cobwebs of Your Mind

Monday 22 –February- 2010
Get Rid of The Cobwebs of Your Mind
Cobwebs are suggestive of age and disuse. We often hear people say, ‘get rid of the cobwebs of the mind.’ ‘Cobwebs stand for old fashioned ideas and prejudices that prevent progress. The saying calls one to shed old fashioned and outdated ideas and practices that hamper progress. To do things as they have always been done before is not always the best way of doing them. In the light of later experience, it proves wrong.
Many firms have struggled to carry on the old traditions initiated by the founder. This is in true respect to the principle that’ what was good enough for me”. While doing so they watched the businesses decline. So it requires someone with a more alert and more modern outlook to find a better line of thought. One must have the courage to introduce new ideas. If you ask a retiring person what he thinks of some new invention or changes, he disapproves. It is difficult to persuade a man to change his outlook on life or business, but not impossible. Such a person needs guidance. We must convince him that it is of no use denying the demands of the modern age we live in and work in. as the world progresses we must be able to find our place in the scheme of things, step-by-step.
One must not rest satisfied having achieved a little, but be determined to achieve more. Never mind what may or may not have been done in the past. Keep an open mind and bring a fresh outlook to make sure of progress.
Dusty desks and dusty minds! They both need cleaning and refreshing. No one can work comfortably in a closed room. If you are conscious of cobwebs, get rid of them from your mind. They hold you down, narrow your outlook and prevent you from making the most of life.
Success
When we focus our mind with single-pointed attention on a particular object-when we put all our energies into acquiring it-then without doubt, success is guaranteed and we will attain what we wish to achieve.
Lengthening My Nights
“Lazy fellow”, father said to his playful song, “Why do you sleep so much during the day? Life is short and by sleeping you are making your days shorter”.” Don’t worry dad-I will make up by lengthening my nights.” son replied.
At an infinite rate
Experience is a jewel, and it needs be so, for it is often purchased at an infinite rate.
A Wise Man
A Learner learns by making mistakes. A wise Man learns form the mistakes of others. A Fool never learns from his own mistakes, or from the mistakes of others.
Never too busy to be kind
The happiest are those . I find, Who stop to do the little things; Never too busy to be kind, Rewarded by the joy it brings.
The road to success is full of women pushing their husbands along.
To err is human; to blame is on the other party is politics.
What is your phone Number?
The girl asked her lover, “Darling if we get engaged will you give me a ring?” Sure”, replied he lover, “What is your phone number?’
I hope you will keep yours,
A man received a letter from a kidnapper. The letter said, “If you don’t promise to send us Rs 60,000, we promise you we will kidnap your wife.” The poor man wrote back, “I am afraid I cannot keep my promise but I hope you will keep yours.”
A heart without honest
Four things are empty-a head without brains a wit without judgment, a heart without honesty, and a purse without money.
Quote from The Essence of the Gita
This is what happens to those who have realized the Self through either knowledge or devotion. Even while working, they are able to see themselves as different from one who is working. They are like ripe coconuts; the kernel within has been separated from the shell. Shake the coconut and hear the sound! We, in contrast, are like tender coconuts-the kernel and the shell are closely bound to one another. A blow on the shell affects the kernel too. We become” ripe” through the practice of Karma Yoga. As in a ripe coconut, our “;kernel and shell’ get separated. The Self gets separated from the mind, intellect, ego, sense organs and the body. It then lives blissfully in its own true nature.
Having discarded all external coverings, the Self is able to stand by itself. Not to speak of the waking state , even in sleep the illumined person sees his or her own body as if ti were someone else’s , as if someone else were sleeping. The poet-saint Ramparasad sang in Bengali;
Sleep has left me, no more shall I sleep.
In the state of Yoga, I am awake.
Her mystic sleep ; to Her have I returned
And have put my sleep to sleep!
This is the state in which the illumined ones lives; they can understand perfectly the meaning of this song. The more selfless our work is , the more our I-consciousness gradually shifts away from the body and the senses, and come to rest in the Self. We then experience the state described in the song above.

Credit Belongs To The Man Who Strives Valiantly
Theodore Roosevelt once said; “It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled , or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, and who comes short again and again. It is he who knows the great enthusiasm., the great devotion, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best knows in the end the triumphs of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither defeat nor victory.
Gentleness
Gentleness is not necessarily a quality of gentlemen. It is treated as a feminine virtue. The obligation of the strong to help the weak is the basis of all life.
Till you Improve!
In a music performance a musician sang a song. Audience shouted in one voice “once more”. He sang the same song for the second time. Again” once more’ from the audience. The musician full of joy asked the audience “ I will sing once again but let me now the reason for your asking so many times”. One person from the audience shouted “till you improve your singing, we will be asking you to repeat.”
You reap what you sow
Drop in kindness and you will receive understanding.
Drop in charity and you will receive love
Drop in hate and you will receive malice
Drop in envy and you will receive criticism.
Shower of Wisdom
The bigger one thinks, the bigger one achieves.
Health and happiness depend on positive thinking and faith
As you think, so you become.
As the mind, so the world.(courtesy wisdom)
Quote from The Essence of Gita
Sri Krishna says that the path of knowledge(samkhya) and the path of detached work(yoga) are not mutually contradictory. Only fools think that they are different. Sri Krishna tells Arjuna that he had not become so competent a student as to give up work altogether. He must reach his goal through doing work. Those whose minds have become totally free from all selfishness by unselfishness doing their duties attain a superconscious state though meditation. Unless Arjuna can do this, there is no point in simply working. Only those who have fully controlled their minds can cross the human boundary on the ladder of spiritual evolution. Different rules apply for those who have reached that state. Krishna tells Arjuna that he should understand this and set himself to work.

Common Bond

Monday 8t –February- 2010
Common Bond
Terence, who was born a slave and made something of himself in Rome twenty-one centuries ago, said this. “I am a man nothing that concerns mankind is alien to me”. He was a comedian and was the first to proclaim the principle of common kinship in man.
Whether he is a black, red, brown or white , whether his language is different from yours whether he is rich or poor , whether he is a slave or free, whether this appearance is different form your whether his thoughts about life are different from yours, you have one common bond with an other person in the Universe.
The suffering, the sorrows, the greed, the despair, the loneliness and emptiness, the insecurity and uncertainly, the doubt and fear are the same. We all suffer the same. But there is a far greater bond that can hold us tougher. The faith and hope fortitude and persistency , smiles and laughter, understanding and courage, self respect and self-acceptance, confidence and encouragement, we can give each other in times of crises and in times of peace, seeking peace of mind. This is the greatest bond of all to hold us together as we struggle in the slow evolution form hatred, to tolerance, to love.
At no time in history has the call of unity of all people been greater then now. In this time of agonizing wars, in this time of nuclear weapons that threatens human existence. I believe that human understanding and sympathy. I believe that human encouragement and dignity will hold us together for a better world.
Sense of Self-Worth
Without a personal philosophy, a strong perception of who you are and what you stand for, you get buffeted around by every person, message, idea and event that comes down the road. You will find yourself running off in all directions at once. Instead of focusing on important problems .
The person who stands out in the crowd demonstrates that he has his own set of values and has a strong sense of self-worth. While the winds of conflicting idea blow some people away., and the tides of various fads(crazy ideas) wash others away, he will stand firm . and that is a big part of being smart and to get ahead and stay ahead.
Thoughts And Aspiration
You cannot get back yesterday. You are not sure of tomorrow. Today is yours to make whatever you want.
Let me be as good a I can. But never feel that I am superior to others. Let me never forget that the others are always better than I am.
You are not the body! You are the immortal soul within! There fore, do not become a slave of the body. Do not keep running after shadow shapes that come and go!
It is vital that we cultivate the healing habit of silence in this age of noise and ceaseless activity.
In prayer , we talk to God so much that we fail to hear His Voice. Learn to be still-and you will hear His Voice!
God is the Life of our life. He s the Breath of our breath. He is the Universal Self which is in each one of us. How can I get away from my true self?
Our life is shaped by our attitude . If you start complaining, there is so much to complaining. There is so much to complain about. It is the attitude that counts.
Enthusiasm is the greatest asset you can possess-for it can take you further than money power or influence.
Do not commit the sin of harboring an uncharitable thought against a brother or of slandering anyone behind his back.
Our thoughts are all-powerful. How many of us can really control them?
Miracles do happen in the live of individuals who lay their trust in God!
No one else is to blame for your present condition. You have built it with your own thoughts and desires. Generated in the near or distant past.

Quote from The Essence of Gita
I had read a story in my childhood. It was entitled .”The Difference between Having and Not Having Eyes.” This is how the story goes; One day two men went for a walk in an open field. One of them returned disgusted having seen nothing interesting during his walk that day. But his companion returned with great joy after collection many new herbs, examining the fertility of the land, and filling his pockets with different types of stones. Both of them had gone for a walk in the same field. The only difference was that the second man knew how to use his eyes.

Cheerful Temper Lightens Sickness

Monday 1st –February- 2010
Cheerful Temper Lightens Sickness
What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity. They are but trifles, to be sure, but, scattered along life’s pathway, the good they do is great. A cheerful temper joined with innocence will make beauty attractive, knowledge delightful, and wit good natured. It will lighten sickness, poverty, and affliction, convert ignorance into simplicity and render deformity agreeable
More insects then people in the world.
Scientists estimate that in every square mile(2.6 sq km) of land, there are as many insects as there are people in the whole world. (Velayudhan Featured)
We drink mineral water!
The medical officer was testing the water supply to the camp. “What precautions do you take against infection?’ he asked the sergeant in charge.
“Well we boil it first, sir,” the sergeant replied “Good”, “Then we filter it.” “Excellent”.” And then,” said the sergeant, “Just for safety sake, we drink mineral water in the bottle!”
Three Stages In Life
There are three stages in each person’s life. When one was young people said, “He will do something “. As he grew older and did nothings, they said, “He could do something in he found himself”. When he was white-haired, people said of him. “He might have done something if he had tried”.
An idea lives on
A man may die, nations may rise and fall, but an idea lives on ideas have endurance without death. .
Quote From Gita
We have to cultivate a yogi’s calmness in the intoxicating battle of life. We must learn to protect ourselves from the reaction which inevitably follows every work we do. Then alone will we be capable of doing something really great and be fit to be called human beings. It is not necessary to explain how often the intoxication of desire-propelled work leads to painful results. How many people sink to the depths of misery because of loss in trade and commerce and are unable to rise again! There are children who destroy their health in their maddened struggle to pass some test. Time and again we even see students commit suicide when they are not able to pass an examination in spite of their best efforts.
It is essential for all-particularly for those with secular responsibilities-to learn how to bring calmness in the midst of the intoxication of work . For these people the only means of progress in all matters, secular and spiritual, is work and work alone. There is no need to imagine that we shall lose our enthusiasm for work we learn how to work calmly; this is proven by Sri Krishna’s life.
Compare the teachings of the Gita with Sri Krishna’s entire life and you will see not one iota of discrepancy. Although he never works for himself, his enthusiasm for work surpassed the enthusiasm of all others put together. See him while playing in Vrindaban; see him in the royal courts of Mathur and Dwaraks; see him at the time of the Yadus’ destruction; see him on the battlefield of the Kauravas and the Pandavas; everywhere we see in his heart an extraordinary calmness and peace along with tremendous enthusiasm for work.
Life Requires Humility
A great professor who had mastered all the branches of learning decided he needed time to relax. He hired a boatman to take him to a nearby island. As the boatman to take him to a nearby island. As the boatman rowed away from shore, the professor asked him what kind of education he had received.
“My father was a poor man”, the boatman said, ‘and could not afford to send me to school. I can not read or write. I am just a simple boatman.”
“That is a shame!” the professor said jokingly,”Hall your life has been wasted.”
A few minutes later, as they reached the middle of the channel, a storm blew up and threatened to upset the boat.
“Master, you must jump over board,” the boatman said, “and swim for your life.”
“I cannot”, the professor replied, “I never learned how to swim.”
“That is a shame!” the boatman replied, “Your whole life has been wasted. You will surely drown.”
Lie requires humility , not specialized knowledge or achievements. Courtesy wisdom
