Do you keep persevering?

It is easy to keep trying when we are progressing and when we are encouraged by people’s appreciation of our efforts.

On the other had, we can experience discouraging periods when we feel we are making no progress and people are not interested in what we are doing.

We then need perseverance to stick to it. Here is a test for you to try. Answer “yes” or “No” to the questions before you turn to the key at the end.

Are you able to stand firm when facing criticism and disapproval?

Can you remain clam and refuse to be upset by opposition?

Can you make your point during a discussion?

Would you carry on if others belittle your ability to do something?

If you knew the odds were against you, would you carry on with a project you believed in ?

Do you make a point to finish anything you undertake to do?

Would you mind to put yourself to considerable inconvenience to keep a promise you had made?

Would you be willing to attend a long course of study to master a new subject?

Do you patiently collect and consider all the relevant factors before making an important t decision?

Are you  good at showing people how to do things?

Do you keep trying when things go wrong.

Are your difficulties a challenge to further effort?

Once you make up your mind, is it difficult to stop you?

You may take a long time to learn  anew subject but do you get it perfect in the end and never forget it?

Can your bear to be misunderstood and carry on in spite of it?

Count five marks for every “Yes” A score of 55 plus is very good and 45 to 55 may be counted good; 35 to 45 is satisfactory. Under 35 is snot satisfactory.

HOW TO BE HAPPY

Happiness lies within our own hearts. It is through our own efforts and beliefs that we can claim it. The secret of happiness is not in doing what one likes, but in liking what one has to do.

The main cause which leads to defeat is discontentment. All of us cannot be captains. Some of us must be crew. We must be quietly happy with our lots.

The other thing which contributes much to happiness is to adapt ourselves to the world as it really is . Happiness comes from working for the welfare and happiness of others.

The best way to be happy is to feel happy under all circumstance. Laugh a bit, for laughter is just the heart. Where its melody is heard, the ills of life shall get away.

Control your passions. Man’s happiness in this life consists in the mastery of his passions.

Picture some aim in life and try to get at it. Shed off the fears which you think you will have to meet while nearing your goal. Work is the key to happiness . failures and disappointments should serve as inspiration.

Sometimes get away form the weary cage of work and relax in Nature. You will escape boredom of life.

Perseverance, self –denial, love and fortitude are the elements out of which happiness is formed.

Quote from the true charm and power of Vedanta

Always hold your position  in lie with dignity and selflessness. Know that you are a channel through which the Ideal is manifesting . Keep your self pure and one-pointed in your devotion, then there will be no difficulty give yourself wholly to Him, your body mind, heart, with all their power and possibilities. Let nothing ever distract your mind. Be an ideal devotee, and ideal disciple. Never forget that our indebtedness to our Master is incalculable. We can never do enough for Him and His cause. To please Him by our life is the greatest thing that we can do. To displease Him by thought , word or actin is our greatest misfortune.

Strive always to represent the Ideal in your life. Remember that tour mistakes  and unwise acts often throw a shadow on our ideal. Therefore how careful we ought to be to mould our characters in such a way that we may never hurt the ideal or give any wrong impression of it. Be always  careful and pray to God that no anxiety or disappointment may come through you. Surrender yourself entirely to Him; then there will be no danger, for His blessings will abide with you and protect you from every imperfection and danger.

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.

Learn to Take things easy and relax

Nowadays people living in cities, get into an unreasonable enthusiasm for speed and hurry. Not only they do things in a hurry but also in haste . even thins that can be done slowly they like to do fast. They speed up things all the time, caring little for the old saying that “haste is waste”.

Being in a hurry makes us tense and upsets our physical mechanism. Most of the time it actually slows us down. In speeding things there are more chances of accidents. Than otherwise. If we save time only to waste if at the counter across which drinks are served or doing nothing, it is not proper to live under stress at the risk of our health and life.

We must learn to take things easy and relax. There may be times when we must speed up. But there will be occasions where we can surely slow down. With all the hurry, it should not be said of us, we speeded up to the grave with the time we tried to save!

Secret of Success

The secret of success is something we have already.

Serenity;

Cultivate a relaxed frame of mind. Say to yourself; “What ever happens today I can deal with it successfully. I have the power to overcome every obstacle and solve every problem”. Always take a cheerful and hopeful view of life.

Understanding:

From your self-knowledge will come a clear knowledge of other people. This will make a complete change in your relationships. Let us think clearly about the wise words of Confucius; if another drinks , does it put out your thirst? If another eats , does it satisfy you? Who then shall develop your understanding? You have to do for yourself.

Confidence:

This springs from faith in ourselves and in God. Worry and fear are opposite to positive thinking. They are not helping or improving your faith. Think constantly of your success, not your failures. Think of the success of others and build up your own  confidence. State positively and constantly, “I can and I will

Courage

Everyone has vast store of courage that can be called up when needed. Courage has the extraordinary quality of being here when it is truly wanted.

Enthusiasm;

This is the inner quality of life that brings excitement and dynamic activity into everything we do. May people are could and not enthusiastic because they really have no idea of what they want from life. Put yourself fully into what you do . you should have strong feeling about your work. Your interests in life. Your interest and enthusiasm will spread like a wild fire.

Self esteem:

It si easy to see that you will never succeed while you cherish a failure image in your subconscious mind. If you expect of fail you will. Never play yourself  down or accept a low estimate that another person may offer Self-esteem is essential for human happiness. When you feel right with yourself, your feeling will project itself into the world and make others happy to raise you.

Self discipline;

This means from the psychological point of view-thought control . Many people are at the mercy of her negative thinking –saying that something is not favourable and they expect the worst. Think carefully to clear up all the thoughts you have in your mind. Seek the positive definite and certain-and see how bright the day becomes.

The real secret of success is , your health, happiness and prosperity. These lie in what you have put into your subconscious mind. This requires self-discipline, constant effort and patience.

Quote from the true Charm and power of Vedanta

‘Krishna (the indwelling Divine in all) carries what one lacks  and protects what one has , in the case of all those self-disciplined seeker who are wise, who tread the path,  of spiritual freedom, and who have broken the grip of sensual cravings.

God delights in serving His devotees, is a recurring theme in the bahkti literature of India, and finds illustration in the life of several of our lovable saints . The latest glowing example comes from a moving incident in the life of Swami Vivekananda himself During his 3 years wandering all over India as parivrajaka, after the passing away of his guru, Sri Rama Krishna, and before his departure to America, Swami Vivekanada travelled without any thought for the morrow, carrying no purse, and depending upon God alone. Narrating the incident the Life of Swami Vivekanand by His eastern and western disciples says  or

In his conversation and Dialogues, Swami Vivekanda himself referred later to his many experiences of Divine grace in his life , as promised in this Gita assurance  yogakesmath vahayaham

A happy man or woman

A happy man or woman is a radiating focus of good will and heir entrance into a room is as though another candle has been lighted.

A ray of His light

Having seen a ray of His beauty all the beauty of the world becomes insignificant. Having glimpsed a ray of His bliss all the joy of the world becomes insignificant. Having tasted ray in His sweetness all the sweetness of the world becomes insignificant . having perceived a ray of His light all the knowledge of the world d becomes insignificant.

Quote from the True Charm and Power of Vedanta.

Some people think that to realise God fully one must rise from dualism to monism,. This is not true in every case. The dualist, by his own method, attains the highest; he wants nothing higher. There are four forms of Mukti or salvation from misery-Salokya, samipya, sarupaya and Sayujyal salokya mukti fulfils the highest ambition of man by enabling him to live in the same place with God. Samipya binrgs the perfected soul very near God in the relation of his most beloved son or servant. Sarupya fills the mind of the perfected on with so much love for his Beloved that he sees, hears, feels, desires and thinks upon none but Him; so much so that his appearance becomes transformed into that of his Beloved. On the other hand Sayujya or kaivalaya merges the perfected soul in Divinity, even the least separation between the two being impossible  when any one of these is realised. Man becomes perfect. Mukti means perfection. None will give it up after getting it, as each kin d of Mukti is perfect in itself . through Bhakti or devotion. Mukti is very easily realised. It gives the  lover the Beloved after finally reaching Him for whom the soul has all the time been panting and struggling. Is there any more work for it to do? In Him it rests. Him it feels to be the highest . this is the final goal preached in the dualistic interpretation of the Vedanta.

In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure.

A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks others have thrown at him.

Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success

Don't aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally

Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome.

Prayer Has Tremendous Power

 

Monday, 10^th June 2013

Prayer Has Tremendous Power

Take any religion of the world, prayer is an essential part in all. The way people of different faiths offer prayer may be different. God in His mercy has given only to human being. This gift of praying . no other form of creation has this precious gift.

Prayer has tremendous power. It can move mountains. Generally, we pray to God when we are in distress or difficulty. However, we should learn t pray n all situations. Favourable or unfavourable.

Prayer should be aimed at self improvement. Your prayer to God should not be for the satisfaction of your physical needs and desires, but to elevate you from bondage to freedom . You should  pray to God, that you could remember Him under all circumstances.

A true prayer is the one which makes no grievance of what may or may not please you. Prayer should lead to abide by the will of God.

Accept People As They Are

A story was told  about a soldier who was finally coming home after having fought in Vietnam, He called his parents from Sanf Francisco.

“Mom and Dad. I am coming home , but I have a favour to ask . I have a friend I would like t bring home with me”

“Sure,” they replied, “We would love to meet him”.

There is something you should know”, the son continued, “he was hurt pretty badly in the fighting. He stepped on a land mine and lost an arm and a leg. He was nowhere else to go, and I want him to come and live with us”.

“I am sorry to hear that, son Maybe  we can help him find somewhere to live. “

“Son “, said the father , “you don’t know what you are asking .

Someone with such a handicap would be a terrible burden on us. We have our own lives to live, and we cannot let something like this interfere with our lives. I think you should just come  home and forget about this guy. He will find a way to live on his own. “

At that point, the son hung up the phone. The parents heard nothing more from him. A few days later, however, they received a call from the San Francisco police . their son had died after falling from building they were told. The police believed it was suicide. The grief stricken parents flew to San Francisco and were taken to the city morgue to identify the body of their son. They recognized him but to their horror they also find something they did not know their son had only one arm and one leg.

The parents in this story are like many of us. We find it easy to love those who are good looking or fun  to have around, but we don’t like people who inconvenience us or make us feel uncomfortable . we would  rather stay away from people who are not as healthy , beautiful , or smart as we are. Thankfully, there is someone who would not treat us that way. Someone who loves us that way. Someone who loves us  with an unconditional love that welcomes us into the family, regardless of how messed up we are.

Tonight before you tuck yourself in for the night , say a little prayer that God will give yo the strength you  need to accept people as they are , and to help us all the more understanding of those who are different from us!

Quote from the True Charm and Power of Vedanta

In the course of my previous lecture on the universe, I showed that a big section of  the universe can exist only in the mind and not outside, since it is not  a simple, elementary entity, but a composite one, made up of three factors-the seer, the seen , and the illumining or unifying principle.  Besides the temporary and finite universe of an individual soul, having birth and death there is also an eternal and infinite universe,  which history  and science hold out to us, Such a universe can exist only in an eternal and infinite  Seer or Mind that goes by the name of God; and that God must be absolute, self-existent and one, because there cannot be two infinites. The absolutely one, all knowing and all powerful; Being has brought us all in this big banquet hall, and by His innumerable powers manifested as the minor gods, has been satisfying our innumerable desires for eternity.

 

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.

I prefer to waste ten minutes rather than a lifetime. Why should you grudge me the 10 minutes joy that I derive 4m.
