My Best Friend
In a church there was a very good priest who
was loved by everyone except for one old man who used to ring the bell . After
every sermon the devotees would praise the priest, saying what an excellent
speaker he was. But as soon as they had left that old man would go up to the priest
and only criticize him. He would find fault with him in every possible way. The
father listened to all this patiently and kept quiet but the devotees got very angry
when they realized what was happening. They started to call this old man the
devil.
After few years the old man died. The devotees
were quite happy about this. They went to the priest and said. The devil is
finally dead” The priest kept quiet for some time and then with a sad
expression on his face said; “Alas! I lost my only friend.” The devotees did
not understand what he meant and so he explained. Remember I am not a worldly
man. I want to reach God. I want to be humble and remove my ego. But your
praises only helped to inflate my ego the old man was the only one who pointed
out my mistakes. By making me humble , he brought me closer to God. That is why
he was my best friend.” –Swami Amritagitananda –courtesy “Matruvani”
Quote from
the True charm and power of Vedanta
‘When the notion and attachment that one is
the physical body is dissolved, and the supreme Self is realized, whenever the
mind goes (there) one experiences Samadhi
By thus presenting the universe , in its
fundamental aspect, as pure Consciousness only. Vedanta does not destroy the
universe or its matter but only illumines the true nature of both, just as
modern quantum and relativity physics does not destroy the stable structures of
the physical world by presenting the world as an ocean of energy only, but says
that the stable familiar world presented by classical physics I sonly a limiting
case of the world presented by quantum and relativity physics.
The physical universe, we see and know but never
experience; consciousness, we experience but nee see and know in that way.
Vedanta as philosophy combines knowledge with experience. That is the meaning of
Wisdom. courtesy

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.
