What I Learnt From Life
Oscar Wilde, master of sparkling prose and ever lasting witty poems once said that Experience is the name we give to our mistakes. The man who boasts of having the richest experience might be the one who has made the largest number of mistakes.
There are times when a small crisis appears terrible but then by the same time next day, it has lost its dimension and a little later, it has faded into memory. How much would it help us to take life’s problems with equanimity, if only we could remember the words of and old song “What would it matter, a ten years from now?’
I have learnt that human life is a difficult riddle to solve. Good people suffer, the evil ones thrive. A long time ago, in Israel, and old man sat writing a book into which he poured out al his wisdom. In lines of memorable prose he wrote: “The race is to the swift, nor the battle to the strong”.
What does this mean? As I understand it, it means that things happen to each one of us, which have no relationship to our birth or intelligence or any other qualities. So we see the not infrequent instances of very bright young men under employed or sometimes unemployed, the not-so-bright ones in positions of power and prestige. I have therefore learnt that in the interests of our own health we should not compare ourselves with those who are better off than us but count our own blessings and be grateful to God.
Think of this famous Arabian proverb which can restore sanity to the troubled world. “I had no shoes and I murmured until I met a man who had no feet.”
Speak To Everyone Kindly Lovingly, Gently
Confucius, the great Chinese philosopher was in deathbed. His near and dear ones surrounded his bed. Weakly, he whispered. “Can you see what is in my mouth?’
The old philosopher has lost al his teeth. So they replied, “We only seethe tongue”.
After a while , Confucius asked them “What is in your mouth?”
“We have both our tongues and teeth”, they answered.
The wise old man then told them, “When man is born, he is born only with a tongue. The teeth come in gradually. They are harder and stronger than the tongue! But as man grows older, his hard, strong teeth drop off gradually. Only the tongue, soft and gentle , lasts till the end”.
The dying philosopher paused for breath and told. This is my last message to you, my dear ones that which is gentle lasts. Therefore, always speak to everyone kindly, lovingly, gently!”
Irritable Bowel Syndrome? IBS?
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is the most common chronic health disorder in America, Canada, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand, affecting more people than asthma, diabetes, and depression combined. Irritable Bowel Syndrome is a physical - not psychological - disorder that affects mainly the bowel, which is also called the large intestine. The bowel is the part of the digestive system that makes and stores stool. IBS is characterized by its symptoms: lower abdominal pain or discomfort, diarrhea, constipation (or alternating diarrhea/constipation), gas, bloating, and nausea. There is no cure for Irritable Bowel Syndrome, but there are many very effective ways of controlling and even eliminating IBS symptoms.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome is not a disease. It's a functional disorder, which means that the bowel simply does not work as it should. Irritable Bowel Syndrome is characterized as a brain-gut dysfunction.
Symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome - What Are IBS Symptoms?
It's important to verify that your symptoms match those of IBS before you accept this diagnosis. As noted, Irritable Bowel Syndrome is characterized by its symptoms: continuous or recurrent lower abdominal pain or cramping (from mild to excruciating) in association with altered bowel motility (diarrhea, constipation, or both). Attacks may strike suddenly at any time of day or night, and may occasionally - though not typically - wake you from a sound sleep. Gas and bloating are common, but vomiting isn't, though it can occur due to nausea from the pain. Upper GI symptoms are not a typical part of the syndrome. For women, attacks are often associated with menstruation. Passing blood, running a fever, swollen extremities, and joint pain are not symptoms of IBS, and point to other disorders. IBS is diagnosed in part by the use of the official diagnostic criteria known as the Rome Guidelines.
What Symptoms and Diseases Need to Be Ruled Out For an IBS Diagnosis?
In essence, the diagnosis of IBS is a process of exclusion. There is no medical test available that will be positive for IBS; instead, your doctor will test you for all other illnesses that can mimic IBS symptoms, and if those tests are negative, and if your symptoms fit the Rome Guidelines for Diagnosis, you'll then be diagnosed with IBS. In particular, it's important that the following diseases are excluded before you accept a diagnosis of IBS:
Quote from True Religion Always Help
We are aware that in some countries , by some governments, experiments are being made on purely materialistic and atheistic lines to bring about ‘progress’. The first thing to remember about these experiments is that these are experiments . the time is not yet ripe to assess their full effectiveness in regard to all-round human progress. The second thing about these experiments is though officially religion is eschewed in governmental endeavors, no power on earth can take away religion-which is a matter of heart and soul-from the common man. In other words, purely materialistic or atheistic endeavors for progress do not result in progress at all, and if they do it will be found that at some level of national life, overtly or covertly, religion or the essential inspiration of religion, get mixed into the stream. Therefore-even if a government may not encourage the pursuit of, or even so much as acknowledge the existence of religion-to the reckoning of the total effect of national endeavor, factually one cannot leave out of consideration the contributory effect or religion.
Some others feel religion is not practical they want religion to prove its credentials by successfully implementing their projects. They ask, what good is religion if it does not help them in their business? At a certain stage of development some persons do not know how to put any more intelligent questions. This question, however, need not be sneered at. And to us another question arises; what exactly is our business when we take the whole of life at all levels into consideration?
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
