Work
for Harmony
Let us all join
and work for harmony in every walk of life; harmony instead of discord, rift,
jealously, strife and violence; if we live n harmony, no jarring note disturbed
peace of mind-relationships, and all our precious joys.
Let there be harmony of voices that make sweet
melody, Let no ugly sound be heard-bickering or bitterness, the shrill and
angry word; may the voices in the house be soft, soothing and refined; quiet
and happy saying only what is good and kind.
Harmony ought to prevail throughout the world. Oh,
may we live to see-Heaven on the Earth, Wish that it doesn’t pass off like a
thunderous cloud, but turns into a reality. Every nation in the world untied,
and yet free-working out their destinies in perfect harmony by sinking their
differences in bottomless fathoms.
What They Say…
A feeble man says, ‘I am beating’ but a
strong-willed says “Not I” The shirker, says it cant be done, the worker says ‘I
ll try”… The laggard says he is weary and must drop out of the race. But a
plodder says , “Keep going at a good and steady pace”
When clouds appear a pessimist predicts a rainy
day . An optimist declares he sees a gold streak in the grey…
A grumbler says he’s sick of life. Work sleep ,
the dull routine. But a poet says, “The stars still shine, birds sing and grass
is green”.
A cynic says this crazy world is rushing to its
doom but a dreamer cries. ‘I see the peaks of glory through the gloom”… The
doubter questions, “Where now is God? No sign of Him we perceive-and someone
praying in a temple or any other holy place says “I believe”. Courtesy
Wisdom
Quote from the True Charm and Power of
Vedanta
In a discussion of a values, possibly we will not
agree with one another . What is a value, for instance? The dictionary meaning
of the word is anything we think of as important-anything that we think highly
of . It may be health, wealth, political power or social standing, and so on.
Each individual has his own values-not just one value; probably many values and
those too ever-changing. Sweets were my highest value as a child. As I grew
older and started going to school. I began to say, ‘When am I going to beat the
top boy in the class?’ My values changed as I was growing.
The Hindu scriptures say that life has a twofold purpose,
one abhyudaya and the other nihseyasa. Abhyudaya means rising higher. Higher and
higher in physical material and intellectual terms all the time. The spirit of
abhyudaya impels you not to stay tuck where you are. You never say . Oh, I have
had enough. I don’t need to go further. You always go on and on and on. Life is
a struggle. If you sit back and say. Oh I have had enough . Let me rest now. That
is as good as death. ‘No-I will not be contented ‘
Western Theology says that in each one of us there
is something called ‘divine discontent’. It urges us to go forward, to know more,
to achieve higher and higher things. Something we are content with some physical
comfort; but very soon we begin to say, ‘No’ this is not enough, there are other
things I would like to have; Finally as you rise higher and higher, you reach a
point when you feel ‘I have everything . I have achieved everything I wanted
to, and Yet I am not happy. You have come to the sate of seeking nihshryasa,
the highest , described in Hindu Philosophy as Self –realization or God –realization.

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.
