To Climb Out of Your Ruts..

Imagination or creative thinking is one ingredient success cannot do without. You’ve got to practice creative thinking as you do anything else. Unfortunately, most of us now-a –days have fallen into mental ruts that are difficult to climb out. Too little imaginative exercise is necessary in today’s way of life. Except for those in creative fields, like the arts most of us would much rather exert ourselves physically than mentally. Indeed, it is difficult to create the idea for a novel, or poem or to invent something-to think!

Some people think that the ability to use imagination creatively is something you have to be born with. You’re right! You do have to be born with it-and most of us were. We all have it , if we want to work at it, and for it. It’s really nothing more than a habitual way of thinking. Then how do we acquire that habit? To be successful, at it we need enthusiasm, curiosity, interest –all are part of the habit. For example, a man who writes short stories may take a walk through the city streets and come back with numerous ideas or plots for his stories. His interest and curiosity are geared to be on the alert for such ideas. He is always looking for them. What he did was –just observed his surroundings and it helped him in his creative thinking.

The people who become large successes are those who create new ideas. Large and small companies try to stimulate their employees to use their creative powers by suggestions or ideas can improve their industries and products.

Strengthening your creative powers.

If you ask questions about any definite thing-questions like. Would this be more practical if it were larger? Smaller rounder? Perhaps upside down?- You will be surprised to find ideas coming to you faster than ever before. Asking yourself a question about anything, and then searching for the answer, will start your creative imagination working. And don’t be ashamed because you think some of the questions are silly; it does not matter. the silliest question putto yourself or someone else may lead to the brightest ideas. All great work in this world was the product of long, patient and dull hours of work. So do not get disappointed easily. Have the stamina to finish what you’ve started. As a matter of fact, here’s a good rule to follow . Any time you start out on some creative effort, finish it.

Remember the saying “He who asks questions is a fool for five minutes; he who does not ask a question remains a fool forever” , So question yourself and be creative.  

True courage is not the brutal force of vulgar heroes, but the firm resolves of virtue and reason. Courtesy wisdom

Earth

The water deluge man with rain, oppress him with hail, and drown him with inundations; the air rushed in storms, prepares the tempest or lights up the volcano; but the Earth, gentle and indulgent, ever subservient to the wants of man, spreads his walks with flower, and his table with plenty , returns, with interest, every good committed to her care; and though she

produces the poison, she still supplies the antidote; though constantly leased more to furnish the luxurious of man than his necessities, yet even to the last she continues her kind indulgence and when life is over, she piously covers his remains in her bosom. – pliney

Quote from the True Charm and Power of Vedanta

Thus the motive power of the whole universe, in whatever way it manifests itself, is that one wonderful thing, unselfishness renunciation, love the real, the only living force in existence. Therefore the Vedantist insists upon that oneness. We insists upon this explanation, because we cannot admit two causes of the universe. If we simply hold that by limitation the same beautiful wonderful love appears to be evil or vile, we find that whole universe explained by the one force of love. If not, two causes of the universe have to be taken for granted, one good and the other evil, one love and the other hatred. Which is more logical, certainly the one forces theory.

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.

Glory of Samkirtan

Monday, July 20, 2015

Glory of Samkirtan

The simplest, easiest and surest sadhana , involving the least risk and expense, is the path of Samkritn. Kirtan means chanting the name of God. The name can be selctged from a number of names by which God is called. It can be Rama, Krishna, Allah, Jesus, or Govinda. Whatever name you choose, go on singing it. Start slowly and go on building up the crescendo. As the rhythm increases you become more and more immersed. In the beginning the mind stays outside, but slowly it starts going within. You can sit for Kitan with your family at home. There is no need to make arrangements specially , or to have harmonium or dholak.

If you start kirtan in your home. The most enthusiastic members will be the children. They will forget Tv. Videos, etc. Children enjoy kirtan so much that they forget everything else. Their mind are clean slates, not yet conditioned by Maya. N our case however, the mind is completely brainwashed by the worldly cares.

Samkritan is the greatest sadhana of India. Our rishis and munis have discovered this, unique path . chaitanaya Mahaprabhu told that people to sing Hare Rama Hare Krishna, as the Lord’s name alone can redeem the people . you can choose any convenient time to sit together with the family members, either before meals or before sleeping, and sing the name of God at least ten or fifteen minutes. You should also take your children to paryers sessions in temples or other spiritual centers. You can sing kritan anywhere, at home n social gathering or at any auspicious get-together. This is very good way to inculcate good habits in children. You should start slowly by devoting ten to fifteen minutes daily to kritan. This new routine will help to make kirtan your second nature.

In Kali Yuga you are free to do all types of Sadhana. The saints , sages and mahatmas have told us that there are hundreds of paths of sadhana. Lord Krishna mentions eithteen types of yoga in the Bhagavad Gita. The yoga Vsishnava gives yet one more, Jnan Yoga. The Ramachanritmanas gives bahkti yoga. The Gurur Granth Sahit teached Gurure Vani Yoga the Vedas and Puranas offer their own paths ultimately however , the goals is one and the same –Excerpted from Bhakti Yoga Sagar

Quote from the True Charm and Power of  Vedanta

The story is told of a holy man in India who, going one day to a well to drink found a scorpion struggling in the water. The sight touched his loving heat and lifting the poor creature from the well, he pressed it against his chest to warm and revive it. But no sooner had the scorpion regained its strength than it stung him. The saint placed it gently on the ground and in a moment it fell back into the well. Forgetting that it had done him any injury , again he rescued it and held it against his heart, but the scorpion stung him as before. Still a third time he drew it from the water and gave it the same loving care, wholly unmindful of the harm done to himself. He had reached a state of consciousness where he realized the ideal preached by Buddha and Christ of loving even his enemies, for all self love had merged into the great love which embrace every living creature

The first awakening in the spiritual life is marked by the awakening of feeling for others. . As we read in the Gita; “He who looks upon pleasure and pain everywhere with the same regard as when it is applied to himself, threat one is highest” ; because this signifies the broadening of the whole nature. As long as our interests remain confined within the circle of our little self, all struggle for higher attainment is in vain. That is way all ethical and spiritual teachings of the world unanimously proclaim the necessity of cultivating selflessness through the practice of charity and compassion.

When we serve for the sake of serving, when we lover for the joy of loving , when we act without selfish motive, we become idle characters . Those who are sincere, pure-hearted, true lovers of their fellowmen never hurt any one by thought, word or deed. According to the Vedic teaching; “Doing good to others is the only virtue, injuring another is the only vice” He who hurts no living creatures by his thoughts, his words or his actions is indeed a saint and  a true representative of religion whether or not he over enters a place of worship

Every act of our life can be done in such a way as to uplift us or to drag us down. It is not what we do but how we do it that determines the merit of the actions. Therefore we must learn to live and work with humility , non-attachment, sympathy and selfless love., when all these are combined in our efforts to serve God and our fellow-beings, then alone we are serving truly. And such service is the highest aim of human life. Courtesy Secret of Right activies

Hallucinations

Thee are many things that people sometimes claim they “see” that really aren’t there . They may have visions of “ghosts” or strange creatures. Sometimes little children claim they “saw” things that no one else did. Sometimes these are fantasizes or daydreams .sometimes they are illusions.

There is a difference between an illusion and a hallucination. When a person has an illusion, there is something present that stimulates the eyes or senses. It can be verified, because other people see it too. A mirage for example, is a kind of illusion. But the main point is that something is thee that causes the person to think he saw what he saw.

When a person has a hallucination, however, nothing is there! There is no outside situation to the eyes or the senses. The only stimulation comes from the person himself, from his own fantasy.

Hallucinations can be so various types, relating to the various senses. The most common have to do with hearing  . A person imagines he hears voices, mutterings, laughter, cries, bells ringing, music playing or even shots ringing out! The second most common type of hallucination has to do with seeing. People imagine they see certain persons who aren’t there, or they may see animals, object, or whole scenes, before them . Sometimes, they “see” strange, horrible, and unearthly thins that terrify them. And sometimes people even have hallucinations about tastes and smells, or things they feel on their skin.

There are many reasons why people have hallucinations. One of the most common is that a person is way troubled and disturbed by something. If someone has been aroused emotionally to a high pitch, perhaps very angry or frightened, he may have hallucinations.

In other words, persons who are hallucinating are usually in a state of great excitement, fear, ecstasy or anticipation of something. Certain drugs also cause hallucinations. Cocaine, for example gives the hallucination of insects crawling on the skin.

Quote from the True Charm and Power of Vedanta

Last words

It is, on the whole, an easy matter to describe Yoga in terms of the intellect, or ot discuss it in philosophical language. Being however the essence of all religions. Yoga, for its true understanding, depends not on words but on experience. Although a person can finish reading a map of the world in ten minutes, it will probably take him ten lives actually to visit all the places he has seen on that map, so, it is said that perhaps only one in a million has the good fortunes to attain complete success in Yoga: the others will have to rest content only with the joy of struggling for the ideal, or at best with just a partial, flitting glimpse of Reality. This naturally disheartens many an scares away others . Some are even led to thin of Yoga as a wild-goose chase; because , while we see and know of many successful men in all walks of life, in the field of Yoga we rarely come across one who can say-unless he is a cheat or a victim of self –deception-that he has actually reached the destination. It is perhaps once in a thousand years a saint or seer is born who can talk with authority on the essence of religion, and even the voice of such a one is son drowned in the confusion that always rage in the world.

One thing however is certain; If the path is recognized to be right and the goal to be worthy or attainment, thee is no alternative left for the determined and sincere pilgrim but to struggle on and on, even though “the road winds uphill an d the way, yea, to the very end” Hundreds may fail to reach the ultimate goal and thousands may succumb halfway on the journey; but the struggle, once begun, cannot be given up unless the traveler is prepared to be called a coward. In every undertaking there is the fear of risk of failure; but that never deters any brave hearts from doing his chosen task, however difficult. After all, are not “the glorious failures” of history far more lovable and worthy of emulation than those who have achieved success in ignoble pursuits? The words “Nothing fails like success”-paradoxical though they seem –apply so often to some worldly achievement gained at the expense of the degradation of the soul!

God’s Clinic

God’s Clinic

I went to God’s clinic to have my routine check-up and I confirmed I was ill.

When god look my blood pressure, He saw I was low in tenderness. Wen He read my temperature, the thermometer registered 40 degree of anxiety . He ran an electrocardiogram and found that I needed several Love by pass’ since my arteries were blocked with loneliness and could not provide for an empty heart.

I went to orthopedics, because I could not walk by my brother’s side and I could not hug my friends since I had fractured myself when tripping with envy. He also found I was short-sighted since I could not see beyond the shortcomings of my brothers and sisters. When I complained about deafness, the diagnosis was that I had stopped listening to God’s voice talking to me on a daily basis

For all that , God gave me a free consultation. Thanks to his mercifulness! So my pledge is that once I leave this clinic, only take the natural remedies he prescribed through his words of truth. Every morning, take a full glass of gratitude. when getting to work, take one spoon of peace. Every hour, take one pill of patience , one cup of brotherhood and one glass of humility. When getting home, take one dose of love. When getting to bed take two tablets of clear conscience’

God wants to show  you things that only you can understand by living what you are living and by being in the place you are now. (Courtesy Inspirational /Quote)

Religion and Ethics

It is difficult to imagine religion without ethics and ethics without religion. Religions and ethics invariably go together and sometimes they even overlap A religious man has to be ethical just as and ethical man. Whether he likes it or not, is also religious .Religion sanctions and supports ethics; ethics justify religion, for religion transfers a man completely , making him incapable of doing anything wrong.

But what is religion? How is it related to ethics? Why cant a man b moral without being religious , religious without being moral? Religion is a science of growth, growth towards perfection. If you are religious you will got to be happy with what you are . you will say I must be a better man, better in my human qualities. I will be better a better till I reach the level of a Buddha, or his like. It may sound too ambitious, but it is better to have an ambitious like this and keep struggling all the time rather than have no ambition al all. Religion gives a man the ambition and also shows him the way that ambition can be fulfilled. A religious man constantly feels the urge to struggle and grow better and better. He soon discovers that as he is precision religion he is acquiring, as if in spite of himself more and more of self-control. For instant has is less susceptible to temptations of money, power , fame and sense pleasure. He tends to be austere. Keeping away from thins most people run after. he begins by telling himself what he should do and should not do, thus subjecting himself to a measure of self-discipline

which become the foundation of his ethical lie. He soon turns out to be a man who will not tell a lie, cheat others, use his power and position to exploit the weak, try to gain something to which his is not entitled and so n, at the same time he is kind compassionate and friendly to all.
