Learn from Sun and
Moon
Learn from Sun-giving heat and light to all high and low. Rich and poor,
good and bad, irrespective of caste, colour , and creed.
Learn from flowers- Always smiling and spreading the sweet fragrance of
beauty, health, happiness and fearlessness.
Learn from bees. Cooperation and always working with pleasure and
enthusiasm.
Learn from trees-Bearing fruits and bowing their heads.
Learn from Moon- Shining divine pleasure and calmness even during
darkness and troubles.
Learn from a river- Regularly marching towards its goal and overcoming
all obstacles and difficulties in its way.
More excellent
He is happy whose circumstances suit his temper. but he is more
excellent who can suit his temper to any circumstances.
One discovery will
lead to another
Don’t keep forever on the public road, going where others have gone. Leave
the beaten path occasionally and go into the woods.
You will be certain to find something your have never seen before. It will
be a little thing but do not ignore it . follow it up, explore around it, one
discovery will lead to another and before you know you will have something
really worth thinking about
Very difficult to
teach without kindness.
It is very difficult to teach anything without kindness. Pupils should
feel that the teacher wants to help them, wants them to improve , is interested
in their growth, is sorry for their success, and sympathetic with their
inadequacies.
I am the unfortunate thief!
Once Swami Vivekanands met a monk in the Himalayas during his wandering
days. Swamiji sat buy the monk and started conversing with him on spiritual
matters. In the course of their talk a reference was made to the famous Pawhari
Baba of gahzipur, and the famous story of a thief that was connected with him. The
monk narrated the incident with interest. He said; One night a thief entered
the small chamber of Baba and stole a bundle of clothes. When the thief went
out of the chamber, somehow . Baba woke up and made some sound. The thief ran
away with the bundle of clothes . sensing some unusual movement outside , Baba
ran out to see what had happened . Seeing Baba run behind the their left the
bundle and escaped. Baba understood the situation and was much discouraged to
observe the poor man, running away without the bundle of clothes . baba ran
behind the thief caught hold of him and gave the bundle. Such was Baba’s
compassion to poor people Saying this the monk took a few deep breaths, and in tears he asked. “Swamiji, do
you know the last part of the story? Obviously Swamiji did not know. The monk
said again. I am that unfortunate thief -Courtesy Vedanta Kesari
Rich are great when!
The rich are not great for their riches, but they are great when they
wisely and generously use their wealth to help the needy.
Quote from the True
Charm and power of Vedanta
‘Instead of resorting
to toxic procedures, we must consider, and possibly recommend, special
attitudes, habits and environmental conditions the first cotton to be considers
is aloneness. Alones may be viewed as a partial sensory deprivation….. He has more
possibility of listening his inner self, to come in contact with his inner
resources, and with some manifestations of this primary process. Unfortunately ,
aloneness is not advocated in our modern from of educating adolescents. On the
contrary , gregariousness and popularity are held in high esteem.
Aloneness should not
be confused with painful loneliness or with withdrawal or constant solitude…
