It is perfect
We
must offer ourselves to God like a clean, smooth canvas and not worry about
what God may choose to paint on it, but at each moment, feel only the stroke of
His brush. It is the same with a piece of stone. Each blow from the sculptor’s chisel makes it feel
if it could-as if it were being destroyed. As blow after blow descends, the
stone knows nothing of how the sculptor is shaping
it. All it feels is a chisel chopping away at it and cutting it.
For example , let us take a piece of stone destined to
be carved into a statue. We might ask it. What do you think is happening to
you? And it might answer: Don’t ask me . All I know is that I must stay immobile in the hands of
the sculptor. I have no idea what he is doing, nor do I know what he will make
of me. But what I do know is that his
work is the best possible . it is perfect. I welcome
each blow of his chisel as the best thing that could happen to me. Courtesy

Never
give up
O
At
first , the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly . Then , to
everyone’s surprise , he quietend down. A few minutes later, the farmer finally
looked down the well and was astonished at what he saw . with every shovel of
mud that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He shook it off
and took a step up.
S
The
trick to getting out of the problem is to shake it off and take a step up . Each
of our troubles is a stepping stone. We can get out of the deepest wells just
by not stopping but by never giving up!
Quote
from the True Charm and Power of Vedanta
‘Pain
and pleasure are inevitable in a body. He who has realized God has dedicated
his mind and life, his body and soul to God. When Rama and Laksman went to take
their bath in the Pampa Lake, they
thrust their bows into the ground. Coming out of the water, Lasksman too
out his bow and found its tip stained with blood. Rama said to him ; “Look, brother!
Look, Perhaps we have hurt some creature “Laxsmana dug in the earth and found a
big bullfrog. It was dying. Rama said to the frog in a sorrowful voice; “Why
didn’t you croak? We should have tried to save you . you croak lustily enough
when you are I the jaws of a snake” The frog said; “O Lord , when I am attacked
by a snake. I croak, saying; O Rama , save me : O Rama save me! This time I
found that it was Rama who was killing me; so I kept still.
Again
“
But
one need not fear anything if one has received the grace of God , it is reaher
easy for a child to stumble if he holds his father hand; but there can be no
such fear if the father holds the child’s hand. A man does not have to suffer
any more if God, in His grace removes his doubts and reveals Himself to him. But this grace descends upon him
only after he has prayed to God with intense yearning of heart and practiced
spiritual discipline. The mother feels compassion for her child when
she sees him running about breathlessly, She has been hiding herself ; now she
appears before the child. .
But
why should God make us run about?” thought
‘Immediately
Sri Ramakrishna said; “It is Hiss will that we should run about a little. Then
it is great fun. God ahs created the world in play, as it were . This is called
Mahamaya; the Great illusion. Therefore, one must take refuge in the Divine
Mother, the Cosmic Power itself. It is She who has bound us with the shackles
of illusion. The realization of God is possible only when these shackles are
severed. ‘
E
‘”They
are heroes indeed who can pray to God in the midst of their worldly activities.
They are like men who strive for God-realization while carrying heavy loads on
their heads. Such men are real heroes. you may
say that this is extremely difficult. But is there anything, however
hard, that cannot be achieved through God’s grace? His grace makes even the
impossible possible. If a lamp is brought into a room that has been dark a
thousand years, does it illumine the room little by little? The room is lighted
all at once. “
I
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 seven 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 seven minutes a day. But, if He exists? I am afraid you are wasting your entire lifetime. I prefer to waste seven minutes rather than a lifetime. Why should you grudge me the 7minutes joy that I derive 4m.
