Be Cheerful But Calm

One should be cheerful at all times. Nowhere our scriptures teach us to be pale and gloomy as also unhappy . Be cheerful at times of happiness and be equally cheerful when you are gloomy and faced with the worldly problems. While possessing a very cheerful disposition, you should also be in possession of a clam mind.

While speaking on Bhakti Yoga nearly a hundred years ago Swami Vivekananda said. “Let the mind be cheerful but calm. Never let it run into excesses because every excess will be followed by reaction. “

What open should aim at is to be cheerful all the time. However, even while being cheerful the mind should not act too much in worldly affairs. This is the real stage of bliss-the bliss which you cannot read and understand in the books but which can just be experienced by you.

The mind should always be calm, at the time of prosperity as well as adversity. The calm mind only thinks positively in any sphere wherever you want it to be taken, whether the thinking is on spiritual front, business front or family front.

The calmness of the mind should be comparable to the calmness of the sea. Calmness of the mind could be instantly achieved by an hour of spiritual reading; this is a sure and tried formula. Non-cheerfulness says  Vivekananda is not religion. Further Vivekananda goes on to say that “by being pleasant always and smiling, it takes you nearer to God, nearer than any prayer”.

Thus cheerfulness is the passport for entering the kingdom of God. By being cheerful the loss ot a person is nothing; rather unexpected dividends can be reaped.  (Better Life)

It is duty of the government to make it difficult for people to do wrong, easy to do right.

Who created chaos?

A physician , an architect and politician exchanged words endlessly to prove whose profession was the oldest. The shrewd politician suggested that each of them should cite proof to establish his claim.

The physician said; “Eve was created out of Adam’s rib . it was a case of surgical operation. Hence my profession is the oldest.”

The architect told; “Before the surgical operation, there was chaos. Order was created out of chaos. And that was the task of an architect. Hence, my profession was the oldest. “

The politician quipped. “Who created chaos? It was defiantly the job of a politician. “

 

With a Pure Heart

Done with pure heart

Even little of good deed

Cannot be deemed to be minor or small.

Is not the seed of the Banyan Tree

So small to look after all?

In the name of the universal God Rama

Listen O Vemana!

Quote from the True Charm and Power of Vedanta

Everything in this world is transitory and fleeting; from the highest manifestation of human life to the lowest worm all are destined to perish. No man was ever born who could stop his body from changing constantly. Body is the name of a series of changes. what remains, then, but character? Time swallows up everything except character; this is the only thing it cannot touch.

If we look back and study the history of mankind, we find that, no matter how hard the struggle may have been to live here forever, in the end all have been conquered by death. Emperors and kings have striven to build up something permanent, but in vain.  Look at the mighty Roman Empire, look at the wonderful  Greek civilization, where are they? The one has crumbled into dust, the other lies in ruins. And what has outlived them? The message of Jesus Christ , the son of a carpenter and that of he beggar Buddha, Krishna, , They are still ruling the universe. Mysterious are the ways of the Lord. Those who wanted to live have died; those who were willing to die have continued to life.

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.
