What Makes A Man Good Or Bad?
Good and bad are relative terms. What is good to one is bad to another. If consuming wine is bad to one, it is very good for another. If eating non vegetarian food is good to one it is bad for another. But the basic moral, cultural and traditional standards of a country helps one to know what is good and what is bad.
There is none absolutely good except of course, the Creator. Every man or woman is a combination of good and bad. The difference is only in the proportion.
One may basically be good and another ma be basically bad. If one is 70% good and 30% bad another is 70% bad and 30% good. Individually, conscience helps one to identify good from the bad.
There is none totally good or totally bad. Only the degree of goodness or badness vary from person to person.
What makes a man good or bad? Previous Karma, Birth, Training, Environment and association are some of the reasons.
Man is subject to enjoy or suffer the results of his own actions (Karmas). Good actions bring forth good results and bad actions bring forth bad results. This is a scientific truth like action and reaction cause and effect. Thus the results of ones actions in the previous birth follow in the present birth like a shadow follows a person. Effects of good and bad actions run parallel and one is not adjusted against the other. Man had to enjoy or suffer the results of both good and bad actions. That explains why even pious persons, noble persons and person of charitable nature suffer severely from physical and mental ailments.
The next cause is birth. Where a person is born in a home where the total environment is bad, he cannot grow into a good person. Training by parent’s teachers and elders also plays a vital role in shaping a man good or bad. Last but not the least is the association one places himself or attracts does make him good or bad.
Though one is born with the heavy weight of bad actions of his earlier birth, it is possible to reduce the intensity of the result of his earlier bad actions by constantly thinking of the Creator, associating with good people , developing good environment, choosing a good career or profession and by reading good books.
You can make or mar your present and future though not your past. You will reap what you sow.

How important is Breakfast
Eat breakfast like a king. Lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar, so goes an old saying. But in today’s world of hurry, breakfast is the biggest casualty.
People often ask as to why breakfast is important. The answer lies in the word ‘breakfast’ itself. The word originated from the fact that after dinner , we do not eat the whole night(minimum 7 hours) and this is a long time for the body to go without food. During day time we keep on eating and munching after every 3-4 . But the duration between dinner and breakfast is often long, sometimes even 10 hours. So its equivalent to a fast. Hence the meal that is taken in the morning is breakfast.
Those who avoid breakfast are less productive and less efficient than those who eat breakfast. Children who regularly eat breakfast think faster and clearer, solve problems more easily and are less likely to be restless and irritable early in the day. So the message is loud and clear to ‘be particular about breakfast’.
Many people skip meals to lose weight. But the first meal of the day is important for a healthy start. The reason for it is simple. Skip breakfast and the gap between dinner and lunch next day is almost 17 hours. During this time the level of blood sugar drops. Glucose, the principal fuel for the brain and the central nervous system, helps carry on routine activities like talking thinking, even walking. For effective functioning of the brain, any stored carbohydrates have to be broken down or fat and protein turned into a usable form .without breakfast the body is deprive of vitamins C and D, calcium, iron and fiber. This is one reason people find it difficult to concentrate, solve problems, memories things and often become moody. A Canadian study says breakfast boosts memory and those who eat breakfast perform better.
A study also found remarkable improvement in those people suffering form memory problems and those with early signs of adult-onset diabetes. Another report states that school students consuming breakfast were less absent and had higher math grades and were less likely to suffer from depression, anxiety and hyperactivity. Moreover , breakfast helps determine and maintain a desired weight. A wholesome breakfast ensures one does not indulge in calorific ally dense food or overeat later in the day. Due to prolonged hunger one eats more food, higher in calorie count.
Eating something is better than nothing. It helps raise blood sugar levels. So , have an apple on the way to work.
The proves that why we should eat a proper and wholesome breakfast. The body’s stress hormone levels are highest in the morning due to hunger. Eating wholesome foods helps the body to overcome this stress. Try not to skip this most important meal of the day and see how your health and performance at work improves.
Share your knowledge. It’s a way of achieve immortality.
Quotes form the Essence of Gita
The principal aim of the first five chapters of the Gita is to establish the relation and harmony between work and knowledge. As I said earlier, at the time of Sri Krishna there was much confusion regarding the purpose of the scriptures because people failed to understand the relation between work and knowledge; they believed the two were mutually opposed and could not be practiced together.
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
