Live’s Challenges

Human predicament is that we over estimate our challenges and underestimate our ability to over come them . When life throws a dagger at you , there are two ways of catching it. If you catch it by the blade, it will hurt you ; but if you catch it by the handle, it will help you fight your way though the obstacles ahead. However bad the traffic jam may be, we will eventually reach home, we might as well enjoy the traffic jam. Life’s channels are not there to discourage you, in fact, they serve you and help you find who you are. Changes actually oblige you. For when conquered, they help you chase grater challenges and in turn provide you greater growth.

Leader stand out from ordinary men in the way they wrestle the difficulties of live. All grate man w3ere ordinary men who were forced by circumstances to meet great challenges. History is full of simple human beings who won over forces well beyond their control and emerged as champions. Live is a character gymnasium. Strength of character is born out of the obstacle overcome. Remember , it is in moments of darkness the stars are known. The prayer goes. “Help me to remember , Lord, that nothing is going to happen to day that you and I cant handle together”

Perseverance Leads To Success.

Whatever you decide to do in your life, you must persevere, Keep at it, and you will succeed. No matter how hopeless it seems at times, I remember reading this very touching story on perseverance.

A Seven year old girl head  her parents talking about here little brother. All she knew was that he was very sick and they had no money left . they were moving to a smaller house because they could not  afford to stay in the present house after paying the doctor’s bills. Only a very costly surgery oudl save him now and there as no one to save him and there as no one to loan them the money.

When she heard her daddy say to the tearful mother that only a miracle could save him, the girl went to her bedroom and pulled a glass jar from its hiding place. She poured down all the change on the floor and counted carefully. Clutching the precious jar tightly, she slipped out of the back door and made her way to the local drug store.

She tool a quarter from her jar and placed it on the glass counter. “What do you want?” asked the pharmacist.” “It is for my little brother”, the girl answered back, “He is really sick and I want to buy miracle”. “I beg your pardon?’ said the pharmacist. “His name is Andrew and he has something bad growing inside his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him. So how much does a miracle coast?” “We don’t sell miracles here, child. I am sorry” the pharmacists said, smiling sadly at the girl. “Listen, I have the money to pay for it. If it is not enough . I can try and get some more. Jute tell me how much it costs”

In the shop was a well dressed customer. He stooped down and asked the little girl. “What kind of miracle does your brother need?’ I don’t know”, she replied with her eyes welling up. “He is really sick and mummy says –he needs and operation. But my daddy cannot pay for it, so I have brought my savings” “How much do you have?’ asked the man. “two dollar and eleven cents but I can try and get some more”, she answered barely audibly. “Well, what a coincidence” smiled the man. “Two dollar and eleven cents the exact price of a miracle for little brothers”.

He took her money in one hand and held her hand with the other. He said, “Take me to where you live. I want to see your brother and meet your parents . let us see if I have the kind of miracle you need”. That well dressed man was Dr Carlton Armstrong . a surgeon, specializing in neurosurgery the operation was completed without charge and it was not long before Andrew was home again and doing wll. “That surgery”, her mom whispered “Was a real miracle. “

I wonder how much the miracle costs. Two dollar and eleven cents. Plus the faith of a little child. Perseverance can made miracle happen.

 

Thief and Scholar

A thief once broke into the modest dwelling of Mathew Henry , the noted scholar and stole his purse. But the busy, optimistic off gentleman was not of all depressed. He turned to his diary and wrote down his cheerful  observation.

“Let me be thankful; first because I was never robbed before; second, because although he took my purse he did not take my lives, third because although he took all I possessed, it was not much; and , fourth, because it was I who was robbed and not I who robbed. “

Mind your eyes

Mind your eyes; don’t let  them see things you  should avoid. Mind your tongue; don’t let it say any unkind word. Mind you ears, don’t let them hear unclean talk, which you should not hear. Mind your hands; don’t let them do sinful deeds. Which would stain you . Mind your feet ; don’t let them go where your conscience tells you . No!

Righteousness pervades whole universe.

Through Dharma (righteousness), wealth and happiness are obtained; Though Dharma anything can be obtained Dharma pervades the whole Universe – Valmiki Ramayan

The wise man reads both books and life itself.  What counts is not to live, but to live in a right way

A thousand words will not leave so deep an impression as one deed.

Quote from the True charm and Power of Vedanta

This is the watchword of all religions and religious teachers. Single-hearted love for God is also the aim and object of renunciations. No violence or hardheartedness is necessary in renunciation. It is a natural growth of the heart. When we love God with our whole heart and soul, there is no room  for anything else and renunciation becomes easy but renouncing does not mean running away from family, friends and relations, or being cruel to them. One can cultivate the spirit of renunciation in one’s home by practising non-attachment and unselfishness. The  question may be asked. What do we gain by it. The highest reward for there is no greater good then to Love God above all external things and to gain knowledge of the Supreme.

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.
