New Life From Violence
A walnut tree was sliced when lighting struck it during a fearful storm. Branches fell far apart and some parts of the shattered tree appeared to wither and die.
Then over a period of time, it seemed as if the broken tree faced Nature, which , with all its fearful violence had tried to destroy it the tree, despite the pain of being severed into pieces, effused to give in to the violence and just die.
The different parts of the tree made peace with the earth where they had fallen and slowly began to take root. Little twigs began to appear, then fresh new leaves and finally the fruit.
People who picked up the fruit and ate it found it sweeter than before and marveled how the tree could give such luscious fruits.
How like the walnut tree are many of our lives! We , too, are struck by violence whether it is disease or thoughtless verbal abuses or emotional antipathy. If we face our violator with courage, reconcile and make peace, like the walnut tree, we get new fruit which may take the form of kindness compassion, and empathy. And we will marvel at the new life, which has given birth from violence. (Courtesy East and West Series)

How to Solve Problems.
Here is an effective method of solving problems;
1. Write down what the problem is;
Write it down exactly precisely and concisely. Charles Kettering, the great inventive genius of General Motor said, “A problem well stated is a problem half solved”.
2.Write down what the causes of the problem are;
Get all the facts. Be sure the facts are exact, clear and impartial. Herbert Hawks of Columbia University said, “Half the worry in the world is caused by people trying to make decisions before they have sufficient knowledge on which to base a decision. If a man will devote his time to securing knowledge in an impartial, objective way, his worries will usually evaporate in the light of knowledge”.
3. Write down every effective solution;
Remember that each possible solution of your problem is the impartial result of trying the case from both sides it is always good to have more solutions by thinking from different angles. You can consult your friend or an expert if the problem requires involving such people.
4 Decide which solution to put into effect:
If you analyze the pros and cons of each solution, then your decision would be relatively easy. Then feed all of your possible solutions into your “menial computer” (Sub conscious mind) and let it work on the solutions in its won way for the next few day. Meanwhile relax. The best solution will soon become clear in your mind.
5 star immediately to put the solution into effect and persist vigorously.
Vigorous action is imporantat to justify all your planning in the previous stages. When once you begin to act, do not look back. When once a decision is reached and execution is taken up, dismiss all anxiety about the outcome.
If you successfully solve the problems, which come your way, you will become the mater of most of life’s difficulties. (Courtesy Hypnotique)
Quote from The Essence of the Gita
The milkmaids of Vrindaban looked upon Srik Krishna in a way all their own; By meditating on Sri Krishna they become one with him, forgetting their household duties, husbands, sons, daughters and even their own bodies. One milkmaid was locked at home by husband. The result was that, mediating on Sri Krishna, she became fully absorbed in him and gave up her body in super conscious state(Samadhi) This is mentioned in Bhavagvat gita. When we study the episode of the rasalila we can understand the state of absorption more clearly . During the raslaitla, Sri Krishna suddenly disappeared. Meditating on him, the milkmaids became so absorbed that they forgot their own identities and did everything with the idea “I am Sri Krishna.”
Devotion culminates in such a deep state of absorption that eh worshipper and the worshipped become one. Radha was once asked; “How do you look upon Sri Kirshna?” She replied “I have completely forgotten that I am a women and he is a man and my master. Unlike the love of an ordinary woman. My love toward Sri Krishna is not due to physical attraction or his qualities. My love for him wells up on its own accord without any specific reason.
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
