Count five marks for every “yes” , A score of 70 and over shows that you have the qualities of a good leader; 60-70 means that you have the right attitude although you need to develop it further; 50-60 is fair- a lot of self-discipline and hard work is required before you make the grade. Under is not satisfactory.

Good and Bad thoughts

Good and bad thoughts

Man’s thoughts have very great power. Thoughts make a man. If man’s thoughts are full of love, modesty and forgiveness, his mind enjoys quietness. If on the other hand his thoughts are ruled by contempt, vanity and a tendency to see others faults, he remains uneasy and worried. This uneasiness results in his unhappiness and even leads to bodily ailments.

If we impart good feelings to others these good feelings return to us multiplied in a very great degree like a few seeds yielding a large number of fruits. On the other hand if we have bad feelings for others we pass on to others all bad things. Even if these  bad thoughts are not in them, these get planted in them, these get further intensified and become easily seen. these in turn come back to us and get fixed deeply in us.

By having good feelings for others we help others and also help ourselves . like wise , by having bad feelings for others, we harm others and also harm ourselves . we should develop the practice of seeing good in every living being .Thus our behaviour towards others will become free from ill-will.

We should return haughtiness with humility, wickedness with kindness, injury with benefit and vanity with veneration. The most acceptable worship in this world which a man can pay to his creator is to perform his duty faithfully towards his fellow beings without partiality. Courtesy wisdom

Quotes from  the true charm and power of Vedanta.

The only true help that you can render to mankind is when by our very character you teach others. Then you do good by your every word, your every movement. When , for instance, you remain steady under all conditions of good and evil, those around you learn the value for steadiness and begin to try to practise it themselves. Thus by the example to your character your whole life becomes a lesson to others. In the Sacred Writings of Vedanta we rad of a youthful illumined spiritual teacher and an aged grey-haired disciple seated under a banyan-tree. The disciple’s mind was full of doubts and he questioned , but the teacher kept silent and the disciple’s doubts were gradually dispelled . such is the force of character. It speaks louder than language. Its power is wonderfully, effective –move than any thing in this universe.

But, if He exists?

I drive joy There was a doctor in Benaras who spent 7 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 4m.
