Everything is In his Hands

A man just got married and was returning home with his wife.  They were crossing a lake in a boat when suddenly a great storm arose. The man was a warrior, but the woman became very much afraid because it seemed almost hopeless-the boat was small and the storm was really huge, and any moment they were going to be drowned . But the man sat silently, calm and quiet, as if nothing was happening.

The woman was trembling and she said, “Are you not afraid ? This may be our last moment of life! It doesn’t seem that we will be able to reach the other shore. Only some miracle can save us, otherwise death is certain. Are you not afraid? Are you mad?”

The man laughed and took the sword out of its sheath. The woman was even more puzzled. Then the brought the naked sword close to the woman’s neck-so close that just a small gap was there , it was almost touching her neck. He asked. “Are you afraid?”

She started t laugh and said, “ why should I be afraid? It the sword is in your hands, why should I be afraid? I know you love me”.

He put the sword back and said, “This is my answer. I know God loves  me, and  the sword in His hands, and the storm is in His hands so whatsoever is going to happen is going to happen is going to happen is going to be good . if we survive, good; if we don’t survive , good because everything is in his hands, and he will not do anything wrong”. Such tremendous trust is capable of transforming your whole life!- Courtesy ; The Vision.

How to start a new friendship?

Begin in a conversation with a neighbour in the bus or at the theatre simply for the purpose of  initiating a conversation. If you speak to another person, the likelihood is that his aims might be somewhat similar to your own.

Most of the individuals who make up a crowd waiting at a railway station or at a theatre are jut a lonely as you are. No one says a word and everyone is bored. Someone must take the initiative to make the first step towards establishing a social contact.

Great minds are most coordinal and most friendly. I have known socially maladjusted adults felt insulted by the greeting of a stranger but I have never known a really good person to be so insulted.

Part of the technique of making friends consists in breaking the ice. It is for this reason that weather, sports and politics exist as topics of small conversation. They serve as the lubricating oil of human life and are as important as good manners.

To those who are incapable of making these contacts, I suggest to go up to strangers and inquire the time or the way to reach a certain address, regardless of the value of such information. This is the first step in training yourself to talk to strangers.

The second step in the art of making friends is making yourself valuable to the people you have contacted. It is a very good technique to begin with people who are overlooked by the average proud men and women. It is always valuable to be pleasant to elderly people , to cripples , to shy and timid persons and children.

It is encouraging to any elderly individual if a young man or woman comes up to talk with him/her.

Being attentive to the overlooked minority is doubly valuable because it gives you the opportunity of proving you social-mindedness. It not only enriches the overlooked and adds to the store of human happiness.  (condensed) Courtesy ‘Psychologist Magazine”

Quote from the True Charm and Power of Vedanta

Now it may be asked; If in reality there is only one Soul in all, whence comes this diversity of souls in different individuals? We are born with the idea that every man has an independent soul. Yes , so it is; but that does not prove that there is any essential diversity of souls(SHIVA)  in individuals it is indeed true that there are innumerable numbers of images of the sun reflected in ponds , lakes , rivers, seas and waves, but that does not prove that there are many suns. The sun is one, only it appears to be many when reflected in water or glass . such is the case here . The Universal Soul is reflected in every individual, and from this springs the diversity. When a man comes to know this true Self, of which he is an image and becomes one with it, he finds himself reflected in all.

When he reaches that supreme state and gains a permanency there, he is one with eternal , omnipresent , omnipotent and omniscient Mind-the Universal Soul; that is , he finds himself to be the Brahman; He is then above al trouble and turmoils of the world; free from all its cares and anxieties, seeing himself in all, and all in himself, and feeling himself to be the one Soul of the entire creation. Now he exclaims with he Great Maharshi Ashtavakra, “The universe has emanated from me, it is destined to end in me, as and earthen vessel loses itself in earth at last, as the waves die in water, as a golden ornament, losing its from, become gold in the end. O joy! I how down to my eternal Self which has no end even when all beings , from the highest to the lowest, with the entire universe, die O joy! I bow down to myself, as I am alone without a second and even though I have a body, I neither come nor go; for I cover the shoe Universe.

O joy! I bow down to myself; for there is none abler and clever than myself as the universe is held in my body, without even touching it. O joy! I bow down to myself who has nothing , or has all that can be comprehended by thought and language.’

 

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.
