Common sense is the crown of all talents.

Common sense is not so common as commonly believed. It is a commodity that is in short supply. Common sense in an uncommon degree is what one calls WISDOM

People who wish to succeed in life should have common sense. Although every man or woman has some sort of knowledge in a particular subject, nothing can be achieved without common sense.

It is not enough to do that right thing, it should be done at the right time and at the right place. In the battel of life, knowledge is power but common sense is the skill, it is only with skill. You can make use of the power . In fact, knowledge tells us what to do, common sense shows us how to do it.

Life is a struggle for existence and only the fittest will survive. And for survival , one needs common sense. It is a fact that education is very important for success in life . But for say that only persons who get distinction in their studies will achieve success in life is not true. It is common sense that leads t success in life.

‘Common sense is the knack of seeing things as they are and doing things as they should be done” said C.E.Stowe , Education alone will not help people to solve their problems. What they need is common sense go grasp things that help them to solve the problems.

In fact kindness, integrity and patience without common sense are fertile gourds for cunning people to take advantage of people who possess such good qualities.

One should always remember that common sense is the crown of all talents.

Devotion to the Lord

Charles V. Holy Roman Emperor never neglected his prayers even when he was tired. One day the was saying his morning prayers. At the time the French ambassador requested a personal meeting with the Emperor. The Emperor sent a message that he had a meeting with his Lord then and would talk to him after some time.

Quite a few minutes passed. Once again the French ambassador asked for a personal meeting because the matter was urgent. The Emperor sent back the messenger with a witty reply. He said that the ambassador served his king with a great devotion and he too on his part did not want to serve his Lord with less devotion. He hoped that the French ambassador would wait for some more time.

Heart like doors will open with ease to very little keys; and do not forget that two of these are –thank you, if you please.

Use if here alone

Kamalesh asked the teacher, “Sir, shall I take this book home”? Teacher said, “No, use it here alone. I don’t give anything to home”.

After some days the teacher came to Kamalesh’s house and asked for a broomstick to clean his house Kamalesh said “No sir, I don’t give anything to home. You must use it here alone”.

Heaven and Hell

An officer once went to see a monk “Monk”, he said , in a commanding voice, “teach me about ‘heaven ‘ and ‘hell”!

The monk looked up at the officer and replied at once. “Teach you about heaven and hell?” I will not teach you anything. You are dirty you are a disgrace .

Quote from the True charm and power of Vedanta

Let us look at the same problem from another standpoint. Now that science and knowledge have placed immense power in the hands of man, can he do whatever he like? Does he not still get knocks from circumstances. Does  he not still feel helpless-hopelessly helpless-at times, so much so that he longs for some one, some power on or beyond earth, to help him. This is not a confession of weakness but the statement of an undeniable fact. When one’s beloved relation is on his deathbed, and all medical or human help fails , one asks oneself, “Is there no power visible or invisible who will come to my help?”

But his is , after all , a crude from of religious impulse; namely , to seek divine help for mundane things. Only the week do that but there are some brave sounds who are quite unselfish even in their prayers. They will not pray go God for any particular thing-they will love God for love’s sake. They see the magnificence of creation, they see the wondrousness of the universe, they are amazed at the order and system which are behind nature and they are filled with spontaneous love for the Creator. Such a brave souls is moved by an impulse of love and devotion which he himself cannot resist. You may laugh at his sentiment, you may find it difficult to find logic behind his emotions expression, but his his feelings are genuine. They give him joy, they give him solace and strength, they lift him up beyond the pettiness of sordid worldliness. A man with aesthetic sense finds joy in the beauty of nature. The beauty of a sunrise or the splendour of a sunset gives him so much joy that he is ready to exchange all worldly passions for them, though to one who has no finer sensibility this man will seem to be foolish, if not mad. Similarly we can not deny the genuineness of the joy and delight which this seraphic soul enjoys . his love for God or feeling of adoration for the great Creator may seem meaningless to one who temperamentally belongs to a different category  or who has not the capacity to appreciate those feelings, but we cannot say that devotee of God or a believe in the supreme Creator is a victim of self-delusion. For it is very often found that the life of such a man is much better than that of those who glibly criticize him. In the scale of moral values be is bead and shoulders above those who think that the phenomenal world is all in all and that there is nothing beyond it.

 

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.
