Use your little moments to read, observe and learn.
Today wherever we go we have watt at
times we wait without an end. We wait for the bus, for the train, for anything
we wish.
Hours are spent for transport to
reach the office band back. Hours are spent in the hospital by the sick and the
dying before they get the medical attention. At times, after all this waiting,
a man is also likely to be disappointed in not getting what he wants.
While waiting anywhere you must jake
a good book of thoughts or a book of humor. It will break much of your tension
and at the end of the year you will have wealth of knowledge collected through
spare moments. You will also have good health obtained by recreating your mind.
If you don’t have a book handy, open
your eyes look at little things which normally you don’t stop and look. By
observing many things you will be able to make your life richer in value ,
quality etc.
A visitor asked a professor how he could
publish three or four books each year after attending to various duties. The
professor said, “I make use of those little moments that other people waste”,
You can use your little moments to learn without feeling you have no time in
your routine work moments that go wasted can be put to good use for your own
benefit and for the benefit of the community
Valuable Gifts
“A pat in the back and a sympathetic
ear are valuable gifts you can give to those who work and live with you”
What is Success?
Success is speaking words of praise.
In cheering other people’s ways;
In doing just the best you can.
With every task and every plan.
It is silence when you speech would hurt,
Politeness when your neighbor is hurt.
It is deafness when scandal flows:
And sympathy with otters woes.
It is loyalty when duty calls.
It is courage when disaster falls.
It is patience when the hour are long;
If it found in laughter and in song.
It is in the silent time of prayer
In happiness and in despair
In all of life and nothing less
We call it success.

Quote from the True Charm and Power of Vedanta
17. Divine Grace: It Presence behind Self-reliance and
Self-surrender.
So in the light of this great
philosophy, the Gita deals with human life in its wholeness. You start as a man
dealing with the world outside; you are not seeing God yet. You will be a man
among men, interacting with them in the social context and developing manliness
and character –strength in the process. Then , slowly, in and through that interaction and with the aid
of discrimination and love of truth, you will rise to the higher level. When
the mind becomes pure and strong, it will gradually feel the touch of something
purer, deeper, some intimations of the divine pulsations, from within. Only a
strong mind can receive it, understand it, and respond to it ‘Only an elephant
can understand the strength of a lion ‘Vivekananda said ‘but not a mosquito!’
It is not our organically limited
ego that is our true form; behind the ego, and beyond all organic limitations,
is the infinite Atman That is the Self of our self, the one Self in all,
infinite and non –dual. In complete human enfoldment, this ego surrenders
completely to that Self. Sings the great Advaita philosopher Sankaracharya in
his Visnu-satpadi
‘When
the sense of separateness (between me and Thee) is removed (in Samadhi) , it is
I who merge in Thee, O Lord, and not Thou I me; verily, the waves merges in the
ocean and not the ocean in the waves. Courtesy Divine Grace
