Silent Resolves – Revolutionized
History
Lincoln as boy was a lover of truthfulness One day he broke
an article of school furniture angrily, “Who did it?” Lincoln said, “I , sir!
Lincoln became a clerk . Here too he was known for his
honesty. He bought a partnership in a store . It failed, Lincoln’s debt was
over three hundred dollars . He did not disown the debt because the store had
failed. It took him seventeen years to pay off the debt but he paid it off,
both the amount and the interest.
At twenty=one Lincoln left his village to seek his fortune
in the world. He came to New Orleans. He stood. One day in the slave market. He
saw the negroes chained and kicked like dogs. He saw a young girl cruelly driven
up and down. The pain of the poor negroes entered into this heart. His soul in
rebellion against slavery and he said; “If ever I get a chance to hit that
thing. I shall hit it and hit it hard!
Lincoln nourished this silent resolve for many years, until
he got a chance and then he hit that evil thing and h
Silent resolves have
often revolutionized history

My wife interrupts.
At the club meeting a member was heard complaining “ I will
never become a good speaker . the moment I open my mouth, my wife interrupts.
My Boss and I
When I take a long time I am slow
When my boss takes a long time . He is thorough.
When I don’t do it. I am lazy
When my boss doesn’t do it . He is too busy.
When I do something without being told.
I am trying to be smart.
When my boss does the same that is initiative.
When I please my boss.
I am apple –polishing
When my boss pleases his boss. He’s co-operating.
When I do good. My boss never remembers.
When I do wrong he never forgets.
Two Golden Days
There are two Golden days in the week upon which and about
which we should never worry.
One of these days is
Yesterday . yesterday, with its cares and worries and all its pains and aches,
al of its faults , mistakes and blunders and its joys too has passed forever
beyond our recall . we cannot undo an act that was done. We cannot unsay a word
that as said . we have nothing to do with yesterday.
And the other day that
we do not worry about is TOMORROW. Tomorrow with all its possible adversities,
its burdens. Perils, its failures and mistakes and its joys, too, is as far
beyond our mastery as its dead sister, yesterday, its sun will rise in
splendor, or behind a mask of clouds , but it will rise until THE END OF TIME.
There is left for us,
then but ONE DAY in the week. TODAY !Anyone can fight the battles of Today that
drives men mad. It is the worry of something that happened yesterday and fear
of what may happened Tomorrow.
Yesterday and Tomorrow
are God’s Days. Leave them with Him. And with child like Faith in His Wisdom
and Goodness, let us place our trust and confidence in His Harids knowing He
does all things well. So, for Tomorrow and its needs I do pray but keep me,
guide and love me Lord JUST FOR TODAY
QOUTE FROM THE TRUE
CHARM AND POWER OF VEDANTA
Religion has been
reduced to a sort of national form. It is one of our very best social remnant;
let it remain. But the real necessity which the grandfather of the modern man
felt for it is gone; he no longer finds
it satisfactory to his reason. The idea of such a Personal God, and such a
creation, the idea which is generally known as monotheism in every religion,
cannot hold its own any longer. In India it could not hold its own because of the Buddhists, and that was the very point
where they gained their victory in ancient times. The showed that if we allow
that nature is possessed of infinite power, and the nature can work out all its
wants. It is simply unnecessary to insist that there is something besides
nature. Even the souls is unnecessary
The discussion about
substance and qualities is very old. And you will sometimes find that the old
superstition lives even at the present day.
Sell away your home
and property without hesitation but do not sell the mansion of your heart ,
Everything is ruled by Maya but the heart belongs to God.
Though the Lord is
present in every particle we do not recognize him. He comes to a heart that is
free from pride and vanity.
I am the servant of
that Supreme Being who dwells in all hearts. Sitting there the Self Luminous
Being spreads his light in all directions.
O my mind, please
listen to the glory of heaven, where the Lord always resides. Where is heaven?
All saints have declared in one voice hat ‘the Kingdom of Heaven is within you.
