Divine madness of great persons.

Divine madness of great persons.

Most of the geniuses had a streak of “divine madness” in them. Thomas Alva Edison, the great inventor would spend all his time facing his problems connected with his inventions, by sitting at his desk for hours, deeply thinking, ignoring his food brought on his table. He would not touch food until a solution was found to his knotty problems.

Wilberforce committed some small crime, went to jail, saw the terrible prison life inside and came out to agitate for prison reforms  He deliberately committed petty crimes to go to jail. Every time he came out, he lunched his agitation for jail reforms, in which he succeeded. Wilberforce earned the gratitude of jail birds and social reformers.

Lala Hardayal was a highly intelligent man who could have adorned the chairs in universities as a professor with distinction. But he left India  and went to Italy, Paris, London, Algiers, West Indies, Honolulu (Hawaii), etc. He became the leader of the Ghadar (Revolution) Party during the First World War . A born rebel, he was appointed a professor of Sanskrit and philosophy in Berkely university (USA).  But he renounced al chairs and went to Switzerland. Germany and Sweden to organise the freedom fight for India. This great scholar who knew many language was absolutely penniless in Sweden where he remained fro nine years. He preferred to die in Philadelphia (USA)on 4^th march 1939 as a forgotten mad man than live in luxury in imperialist Biritish India of those days.

These ‘mad’ men take up their work as a sort of human fulfilment, as dedication to a cause . they are men of action who renounce their all for a great cause.  They have succeeded in converting hteir country from a nation of salves to a nation of firm wills.

Advice to Managers.

Keep physically fit and mentally strong. Study and follow professional management principles. Apply them logically and practically to your

Organization. Think about every difficult problem.

Decisions; men grow making decisions and assuming responsibility for them.

Criticism; do not criticise people but make a fair judgement of their qualifications. Remember, anything you say about someone may get back to them.

There are few secrets in the business world! See the good in people and try to develop those qualities. Inefficiency; if it cannot be overcome and an employee is obviously incapable of the job, fired a job he can do or terminate now. Do not wait. People are No1 their development, loyalty, interest, team spirit- develop managers in every area- This is your prime responsibility.

Manage your time. Short conversations to the point. Delegate and hold accountable for results. Let your staff take care of details. Save your energy for planning thinking and promoting.

Ideas and competition; Ideas keep the business alive. Know what your competition are doing and planning . encourage management to think about better ways and give suggestions on anything that will improve business.

Guard your habits; bad ones will destroy you . Do not try to do an employee’s job for him- counsel and suggest. Think objectively and keep a sense of humour. Make the business fun for you and others. –(Courtesy; “The Lighthouse”)

Understand Before You Advise.

Understand before you advise Before we try to tell others what to do, we need to establish good relationship. The key to your influence with me in your understanding of me. Unless you understand me and my feelings you wont know how to advise me. Unless you are influenced by my uniqueness. I am not going to be influenced by your advise.

Quote from the True charm and power of Vedanta

This is what is meant by religious practice; To have a definite consciousness regarding the Real, regarding Spirit, not  through books or through some one else, but through one’s own self. Each one must be able to awaken his own inner nature. He must be able to grasp the meaning of life, to perceive the existence of God directly. That  is the aim of all study and practise. A man who lives here performs the duties of life must know the purpose of life; he bust know his relation with the Unseen Doer; he but understand the Force which is constantly working within and without him. The science of Yoga teaches this. The very word signifies man’s union with the Supreme. Until he has attained that union and feels that he is being guided by God along the right path, he cannot have any sense of security; and  so long as he does not feel that he is safe, he cannot enjoy life. If , however, at every moment of his existence he is wholly devoted to the Supreme, then he can never feel separated from Him. When under all circumstances, in our waking and sleeping , we carry the thought of God and put it into all o9ur actions, then we are living the spiritual 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.

Fisherman Who Became A saint.

Fisherman Who Became A saint.

One night, a poor fisherman stole into the garden of a rich man wanting to steal fish form the small lake. But as he cast his net into the lake, the servants, heard the sound and awakened the master. They all surrounded the lake with lighted torches and searched for what had made the sound, but the poor fisherman fast  smeared his body with ashes and sat beneath a tree with hands folded and eyes closed, pretending to be a holy man. They could not find any thief and instead were pleased to see a holy man meditating in their garden.

The next morning, word fast spread that a holy sage was staying in the garden. Many people  rushed to him with fruits and pudding , offering them at his feet . others placed silver and gold at his feet.

“How strange.” Thought the poor fisherman. “I am only an imitation holy man, yet people show much devotion to me. What would it be like if I become a real holy man?’

Thus thinking, he resolved to become a real saint. In the course of time , he became a great sage and attained the bliss of God realisation.

Wit and Wisdom

The Old believe everything

The old believe everything , the middle-aged suspect everything; the young know everything.

Four wills for Businessman.

A businessman should have for wills and here they are;

A goodwill made in favour of his family; the goodwill of the public; the goodwill of those who work with him, not just for him, and the goodwill of his banker.

Liar’s punishment.

The liar’s punishment is not in the lest that he is not believed, but that he cannot believe anyone else.

First half and Second half.

The first half of our life is ruined by our parents and the second half by our children.

I will do something.

The test of a preacher is that his congregation goes away saying not “What a lovely sermon”, but I will do something!”

Take constructive risks in your life. The more you master the courage to do the things you truly want for yourself. The more effective you will become at living happily.

Quote from the True charm and power of Vedanta

All the great teachers have taught us the path of child-like faith and simplicity, where there is no more vanity, no more ego, but complete dependence on the Divine. Surrendering the heart, soul and body to God’s work, to God’s will , this is the way of bliss.

All are guided by His will , should we not therefore recognize Him above al things? Should we not therefore recognize Him above al things? Should we not offer all our prayers and all our thoughts to Him? At least our first thought and our last thought of every day should be for Him. Our gratitude above al should be offered for His Grace. He is all pervading he is all-mighty . He is the Giver of al blessing. Him alone we recognize and pray to for our guidance and protection. May we through His  Grace realize our Divine nature; may we feel the awakening of That without which nothing exists, That which is the source of our life, our true source of existence, That to which we must look for strength, for guidance , for all our inspiration.

Though His blessing may our remembrance of Him be constant and perpetual. May we succeed in directing our thoughts towards Him without interruption or disturbance. May we perform all our duties in this life carrying Him with us wherever we go. May we address all our prayers to Him, for He never fails to hear the prayers of His beloved children. We have no other power of right to do, except to pray to Him like little children. The rest depends on Him fully.

But, if He exists?

Love for other is the golden key to Happiness.

Love for other is the golden key to Happiness.

The world is full of keys-there must be millions everywhere and people guard them like their lives and handle them with care-for it you lose your key! Well, that’s a real calamity you might be locked out of your home-and then where would you be? Look at a street of houses-there are keys to all the door…And all our problems are like doors-each one has got a key. Some work or deed will meet the case. If only we could see, the key to every situation is somewhere about –if we could rid our  minds of prejudice and fear and  doubt. Determination will unlock the doorway of success-and love for others is the golden key to Happiness.

Rules For Parents To Deal With Married Children

Don’t give advice unless asked for …. Remember they are married now!

Don’t parent them anymore, 30 years are enough. Let their spouses take care of them.

Remember your sons or daughters are their spouses now and there fore they better adjust to the ways, means, and tastes of their spouses.

Remember  they have their full life to live their own way… if you agree bless them, otherwise keep quiet.

Don’t interfere in their personal and family affairs…. Let them settle themselves.

Appreciate their every little achievement-in cooking , hobbies , etc.

If you have problems , talk to your sons of daughters , not to their spouses.

At parties, festivals, and ceremonies treat them like close friends rather than- ‘in-laws’.

About their families, don’t every ask, comment or criticize.

Grand children are their creation, so take care of them if asked for.

So if they break things , mi behave, eat irregularly, advice them as a friend.

Finally, remember you may need them later in life!

I do not hesitate to lie!

Once a to be groom found himself in a tight corner while answering a barrage of questions about his personal history by the girl’s father. Finally in an effort to emerge out successfully he said. “Look sir, I don’t smoke , drink or have any desire for opium, snuff drug etc.”

The interested father asked him naturally in an inquisitive manner. “And you don’t have any weakness in yourself”?

“Of course, I am also a human being “ the to be groom said in frustration. “I do not hesitate to lie when necessary.”

 

Mystery of God

Every blade of Grass, and every INSECT, ANT  and Golden BEE. All so marvellously known their path… they bear witness to the MYSTRY OF GOD. – Ancient Wisdom

Path of Love

One meets with two classes of spiritual aspirants. One of them resembles the young of a monkey and the other may be likened to a kitten. The young one of the monkey strongly clasps its mother while the young one of the cat cannot do so, but mews piteously, staying wherever it is placed by her. If the young monkey lets go the hold on its mother, it falls down end gets hurt. This is because it has to depend upon its own strength. But the kitten runs no such  risk, for the mother herself carries it about from place to place. Similarly , the aspirant who follows the pat of knowledge or the path of selfless work depends upon his won effort to attain salvation. On the other hand, the aspirant who follows the path of Love knows that the Lord is the disposer of everything , so with perfect confidence he resigns himself entirely to His mercy. The former is like the young of a monkey and the latter like the kitten.

 

Quote from True Charm and Power of Vedanta.

To those workers who have a philosophical bent of mind, the advice of the Gita is that they should remember that they are the Self; that it is the senses which work, impelled by past tendencies and desires. While the Self; that it is the senses which work, impelled by past tendencies and desires; while the Self which is there inner being. Their real existence, is free from all earthly contact, and transcends everything material., the impli9cation of this sublime and pregnant idea is at first caught only by the imagination; but by constantly dwelling on it, while he works, the imagination of the Karma Yogi, will at last give place in experience and he will realise the Self.

It will thus be seen that there are no watertight compartments among the different Yogas, Krama , Bhakti, and Janana may , and often do commingle with one another in the course of spiritual practice, only the temperament of the aspirant will determine which of the three is to have a dominant influence in his life.

Seven Simple Secretes To Success

 

Monday, 3-September- 2012

Seven Simple Secretes To Success

If you follow these principles, you can achieve success you have ever experienced.

Integrity; Firmly adhere to a code of honesty. That means not just being honest, but also speaking out against dishonesty no matter where you find it, if you speak out honestly, you make it difficult for yourself  to be dishonest..

Courage ; do what is right regardless of the consequences. To have courage, you must first think as if you are already courageous . then act courageously, which sets a tone for all you behaviour . finally pray for courage, because with God’s help , you will succeed.

Enthusiasm. Develop a passion for life. I know a vibrant lady who starts every morning by reading a thought by the American philosopher Henry David Thoreau. “None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm”.

A friend of mine told me he constantly keeps himself enthusiastic by lumping together all his disappointments, frustrations and unhappiness each night, then mentally discarding them. Like him, you should let go all negative thoughts.

Also start each day thinking enthusiastic thoughts . act as if you are the most enthusiastic person you know. And surround yourself with enthusiastic people.

Happiness . strive for contentment. I have found that happiness is based on religious beliefs. And all the unhappiness I have ever encountered has been where en and women did not live according to the precepts of Holy Scriptures.

One man at the top of his profession told me.  “ I became a genuinely happy man when I met someone who changed me deep inside. That someone was God. “

Faith ; You must believe and trust in God-and yourself . as you seek success , remember that God neve intended man. His highest creation to become a failure. Generally , the reason we do not attain more in our lives is because we do not believe in ourselves .

Hope ; expect success! When you live with hope in your heart and mind, you have found one of life’s most powerful secrets.

Live is not easy but you can rise above suffering by reading inspirational stories of people who found hope, then thinking, talking and acting hopefully. If you do, hopelessness will retreat and hopefulness; will take over.

Love : be selflessly concerned for all others. If you live with love in your heart and do all within your power to reduce human sorrow, you will become so spiritually victorious that you will rise above all difficulty and banish fear from your heart and mind.

Of course. It is not easy to love everyone. But you can develop love by trying to see the best in every one. Including yourself.

Also avoid saying bad things about others and avoid expressing disappointment to those who do not show there love.

Life is a boat We sail on, Life is a festival, We celebrate. Life is a flower, We bloom and die. Life is of God. He made them all.

Quote from True Charm and Power of Vedanta.

Why should anyone fear who is unselfish? Selfishness is the cause of all misery and fear. There is no sin for him who is unselfish. Know this and be free from al fear and care. Fearlessness is what religion teaches, and one can become fearless only through purity of thoughts and deeds. Past is dead and gone, but present is alive . so do everything with unselfishness in the present moments. Fear none, Divinity and purity are your birthright. Have faith and struggle on.

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.
