A Reminder From God
I was regretting the past and fearing the future. Suddenly, I heard God speaking “My Name is “ I AM”. He paused I waited. He continued. “When you lie in the past with its mistakes and regrets, it is hard for you because I am not there. My name is not I WAS.
When you live in the future with its unknowns and fears, it is hard for you because I am not there My name is not I WILL BE’
“But when you live in this moment, it is not hard, because I am here. My name is “I AM”

Self-Expression Gives Joy
Something in a person’s spirit desires for self-expression. When he finds and opportunity for it, he is happy. When he cannot, he is frustrated.
Recall the satisfaction you derived when you put finishing touches to a painting, a story a or a poem. You can remember the contentment you derived when you took part in a club meeting or in a dramatic society. It is , therefore, necessary to provide yourself with channels for self expression.
If you find life dull and boring . it is due to not getting opportunities to express your ideas. Consider the following points.
Try to engage in a worthwhile conversation. It is a source of satisfaction.
Share your experiences that had given you joy or pain.
Consider your job as a means of self-expression.
This enables you to do the work better because when the work becomes creative, providing an opportunity for self expression, it is capable of giving the satisfaction you desire for.
Do not say that you are not good at the type of work you do. You have untapped resources, dormant skills and abilities awaiting an opportunity to be revealed, only when you try , you discover that you have a skill for one or more of the activities like drawing, painting , story writing, poetry , flower arrangement, model making, embroidery, cookery etc.
You need not be a best novelist or story writer to find self-expression. You derive a lot of fun when you get a chance for self-expression by writing to newspapers and magazines Keep a diary and writes you observations or experiences, which will be a joyful opportunity to express yourself.
If you are keen, you can develop writing skills, by taking up correspondence course in short story writing or script writing for a T.V play.
When you take up a course in public speaking, it will provide and opportunity to overcome nervousness and fear-consciousness. In the presence of other beginners you get used to the sound of your own voice standing before audience.
You cannot learn swimming by reading a book. You have to get into the water and begin to swim. The best way to provide self-expression is in a class gathering where a friendly instructor will provide you guidance and encouragement.
Your ardent desire to be recognized in a strong urge in human endeavor. Give an opportunity right now for self-expression.

Quotes form the Essence of Gita
It is not that the Self become small and because or work, it slowly begins to expand, until at last it becomes so big that it breaks through all its bonds. If this were true, it would logically follow ht if one kind of work could expand the Self, some other kind of work could contract the Self. Perhaps it might contract the Self into nothingness! That is why the scriptures say that if the freedom for the Self is the effect of karma, then it would be of a limited duration. Anything that is a result of work has a beginning , middle and end. For this reason they say that the freedom is always inherent in the Self. That is the Self real nature. Only because it has forgotten its nature does it identify itself with the body and mind, and there fore feels itself experiencing joy and sorrow.
If we ask why the Self made mistake , the scriptures say, “Dear friend, that is not something to be learnt or to be taught. Let the mistake be corrected first and then learning or teaching becomes possible. Your mind and intellect function only within the domain of that ‘mistake’ How then can you remind and intellect understand the cause for that mistake?” But if we ask how this mistake was made, the scriptures will answer. “Knowledge has been covered by ignorance and that is the cause of all this trouble.” If we ask what the way out is, the scriptures will say “Ah, we have found a way! God on dong good work without paying any heed to joy or sorrow or gain or loss. That will destroy egoism the root of ignorance.
In due time, having reached, perfection in yoga, the person attains knowledge in his or her heart.
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
