Everything Is In His Hands

A man just got married and was returning home with his wife. They were crossing a lake in a boat when suddenly a great storm arose. The man was a warrior, but the woman became very much afraid because it seemed almost hopeless-the boat was small and the storm was really huge, and any moment they were going to be drowned. But the man sat silently, calm and quiet, as if nothing was happening.

The woman was trembling and she said, “Are you not afraid? This may be our last moment of life! It doesn’t seem that we will be able to reach the other shore. Only some miracle can save us, otherwise death is certain. Are you not afraid? Are you mad?

The man laughed and took the sword out of its sheath. The woman was even more puzzled. Then he brought the naked sword close to the woman’s neck-so close that just a small gap was there, it was almost touching her neck. He asked “Are you afraid?”said “why should I be afraid? If the sword is in your hands why should I be afraid? I know you love me.

He put the sword back and said “This is my answer. I know God loves me, and the sword in His hands, and the storm is in His hands so whatsoever is going to happen is gong to be good. if we survive , good, if we don’t survive , good because everything is in his hnds, and he will not do anything wrong “Such tremendous trust is capable of transforming your whole life!

Unity

I know that my unity with all people cannot be destroyed by national boundaries and government orders. Leo Tolstoy.

Quote from the True charm and power of Vedanta

The Vital Role of Imagination in Physical Science

As I said earlier about physical science, the scientist who want to know the truth about nature must have a basic conviction that there is truth hidden in nature with that conviction alone can he become a discover of the truth of nature. Otherwise, he will remain a mere scientific scholar; he may quote scientific opinions on various subjects; but he cannot become a scientist himself.

The sooner we realize this truth about physical science-that pure science is the product of some deep faith within the scientist, faith in himself and in the truthfulness of nature-the better we shall understand the spirit of physical science and its close kinship with the other two disciplines in the pursuit of truth and human excellence, namely , art and religion, in which faith, in the form of kalpana, or imagination, plays a greater role than reason.

Thus apart from intellect or reason that function in the discovery of truth in physical science, imagination also plays a vital part in all great scientific discoveries, imagination is what helps critical reason to develop into creative intuition. In the discovery of the universal truth of gravitation by Newton, in the development of relativity and quantum theories in twentieth-century physics into eh discovery and demonstration of the unity of plants and animals and of the living and the non-living by Sir J, C, Bose and in several other instances, we can see this creative play of imagination and its intuitive by-products, which are vital ingredients of sraddha, or faith. Seeing a particular apple falling Newton could make this inductive jump to the cosmic level that the same force of gravitation is what makes the moon fall towards the earth, what

makes for the movements of all the planets and stars , and what reveals itself as a universal force exerted by every material body on other bodies in the universe. Courtesy science and Religion

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.
