Be Wise When You Talk

The one thing all normal people possess is the ability to talk. And it’s mainly by the way you talk that others judge your personality am not referring to your diction, grammar, and tone, although these things are important . I mean essentially , what you say . Robert Louis Stevenson wrote; “Talk is our chief business in this world; and talk is by far the most accessible of pleasures. It costs nothing in money: it is all profit; it completes our education, founds and fosters our friendships, and can be enjoyed at an ague and in almost every state of health”.

This is all true, but thee is another saying that goes: “The thing most frequently opened by mistake is the human mouth” Quite often criticism only manages to throw a bad light on the critic, its also easier to criticise than to be right or to help-so most of us do it. You will improve your personality immediately if you stop it.

Another method for improving your personality fast is to stop talking your favourite subject-you-so much . Talk about the other person to that other person, and he or she will love you for it. Montaigne put it in a nutshell: “When all is summed up, a man never speaks of himself without loss: his accusations of himself are always believed; his praises never”.

When you talked to someone look straight into the face of the listener. Learn , also, to listen attentively (even if you ‘ve heard it before) again looking into the speaker’s eyes. Listen well, and you’ll be given credit for speaking well. And if you’re good listener, you will talk better.

Don’t be afraid to talk: Erasmus said that by speaking men learn to speak. Being well informed helps a lot. Your over all personality is altered and shaped by your general knowledge, your awareness of the world around you. Are you practical-minded? Can you figure things out logically? Do you read at least half as many nonfiction as fiction books? Do you make the time to listen to good music occasionally, or to worthwhile lectures? Do you know at least a little about art? The answer to these questions should be “yes” if you want a well rounded personality.

Of course , we all have our special abilities and particular fields of knowledge. However, you cant talk about these abilities or remain in the company of others who are familiar with the same fields of knowledge all the time. So try to enlarge your scope. There’s no reason to be left out of any conversations because you know absolutely nothing about the subject being discussed. Curtsey wisdom

Quote from the True Charm and Power of Vedanta

Here , we have the goal and the method in one. What it really means is that one must perform one’s duties with only half the mind and must keep the other half busy with the thought of God. When the work is over, one should apply the whole mind in thinking of God

This advice is extremely useful for all spiritual aspirants , and is specially so because for most of us it is difficult to get rid of worldly entanglements and to engage solely in spiritual practices in solitude. Even when we are lucky to disengage ourselves temporarily or permanently from worldly activates, our minds refuse to cooperate.  We are not able to  hold the feet of the Lord with both hands, i.e we are not able to concentrate our whole mind on God even when not engaged in worked. In such situation, the only reasonable alternative is to make the best use of our working hours. It will not do to restrict spiritual practice to japa meditation, worship or prayer alone, daily, at fixed hours, for a limited period of time. We must be able to transform every moment of our life into a spiritual one. Every one of our acts must become a consecration, and the difference between the secular and the sacred must vanish , So, one of the means of sublimating and spiritualizing every moment of our life is ‘...to do the work with one had and touch the feet of the Lord with other.

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.

Home And Health

Recovery meal. Is a meal one has to take after a rigorous workout. So many people skip post exercise nutrition because they do not want to undo the calories they just burned.

Spray –on oils CAN eliminate the need for cooking oil at all in many recipes-with only tow calories per spray. Compared to 90 in a full tablespoon of oil.

Choice Architecture is a new term for total makeover of your refrigerator . when y you’re hungry, you’re hungry, you’re more likely to grab a quick and easy snack, which often isn’t the healthiest. You better try to put the healthier foods in the front and centre of your fridge. Keep the indulgent foods out of sight, and to some preparatory work in this regard. This is where ‘Choice Architecture’ works instead of keeping the fresh fruits and veggies in the crisper, put them in clear containers at eye-level-they will grab your attention when you open the door.

Quote from the Charm and power of the Upanishads        

Man has been disciplined hitherto by his subjection to nature. Having emancipated himself from this subjection be in showing something of the defects of slave-turned-master. A new moral outlook is called for in which submission to the power of nature is replaced by respect for what is best in man. It is where this respect is lacking that scientific technique is dangerous . so long as it is present science, having delivered man from bondage to nature can proceed to delivery him from bondage to the slavish part of himself.

This respect fo what is best in man and the science which will proceed  to delivery man from bondage to the slavish part of himself’ is what the Upanishad developed ages ago in India is her adyatma vidya in her science of the inner world of man, in her ‘ science of human possiblities’ in the words of Julian Huxley. The intellect on which the light of the Atman , shies is for different from the intellect which is in thrall to the sense –organs. These tow groups of science-the science of outer nature and the science of inner nature-need to pool their resources together to advance man on the evolutionary path of total fulfilment. Take religion away from human society and what remain is a forest of brutes, says Swami Vivekananda Echoing this conviction in the concluding portion of his Autobiography , astro physicist R. A Millikan says;

It seems to me that the tow great pillars upon which all human well being and human progress rest are , first, the spirit of religion and second the spirit of science- or knowledge. Neither  can attain its largest effectiveness without support from the other. To promote the latter, we have universities and research institutions. But the supreme opportunity for everyone with no exception lies in the first.

Without the spiritual nourishment coming from religion, the phenomenal progress of the modern age has become wobbly in its movement and blind in its course.

Confession And Reconciliation

Monday, 12 February 2018

Confession And Reconciliation

We often commit serious mistakes in our dealings with others and our greatest fault is not to be aware of it. We are all imperfect human beings. Since we are imperfect, it is natural that we are always prone to err. God, who is perfect, ordained ways of our redemption. And the best way or redemption is to confess our errors, mistakes, aberrations, pitfalls and expiate.

What do we do when we have blundered, offended some and filled our waking existence with guilt and apologise. If this happens, most of the ill-feelings and grievances are redressed or washed off.

But the problem is when we are the person (s) making the mistake, then why should we go to the person concerned, confess the mistake and apologies. The best thing to do is confess the mistake, finish the matter and begin with a clean state . but more often than not, i does not happen . Most of us let –ill-feeling and jealousy fester inside us. This further aggravates the situation. This tend not only to affect relationship deep resentment can also affect adversely the physical and mental health.

The best way to begin the healing process would be to, first admit that one has made a mistake, and second to set about making amends and begin by talking about it openly. As human beings, we are far from being perfect, so it is only natural that we err. “Our glory consists not in every falling, but in rising every time we fall” said Goldsmith, But here is a word of caution. The confession should be real and not superficial or as a matter of formality only. If we do wholeheartedly, we build trust and closer understanding, over come fear of rejection and condemnation. so confession and reconciliation are the route for wholeness. It is worth all the risks because it promotes health and eliminates sickness from our body and mind.

Quote from the True charm and power of Vedanta

Non-killing being established, in his presence all enmities cease (in others)

If a man gests the ideal of non-injuring others, before him even animals which are by their nature ferocious will become peaceful. The tiger and the lamb will play together before that Yogi. When you have come to that state, then alone you will understand that you have become firmly established in non-injuring.

By the establishment of truthfulness the Yogi gets the power of attaining for himself and others the fruits of work without the works when this power of truth will be established with you, then even in dream you will never tell an untruth. You will be true to thought words and deed. Whatever you say will be truth you may say to a man. “Be blessed” and  that man will be blessed. If a man is diseased, and you sat to him. “Be thou cured” he will be cured immediately.

The Fire of Hatred and Jealousy

Monday, 05 February 2018

The Fire of Hatred and Jealousy

Etymologically the Sanskrit word Dwesha meaning animosity is derived from Dwish which means doubly poisonous. Those who harbour hate in their mind not only burn themselves but also burn those whom they hate. Animosity or hatred makes man a storehouse of poison. He is destroyed and gets others destroyed too. So hatred is a negative force which destroys everything.

Jealousy is the companion of hatred . they move always together. Those who ar plagued by jealousy-which is not a healthy feeling at all, feel uneasy and uncomfortable. There are some who develop uneasiness when they see the success of others. Among the six enemies of human soul , jealousy is the sixth. This causes unlimited harm. There have been people who have conquered desire , anger, avarice, passion, and pride. But they too get affected by jealousy and don’t hesitate to indulge in injustice and deceit. He is really a great person who is completely free from jealousy.

The Mahabharata says “ It is  sinful to hate the virtuous enemy of happiness “ To realise this happiness we must realise that love and affection make room for mutual attention, mutual concern, consent and acceptance, mutual understanding and harmony. But hatred gives rise to mutual rejection, misbehaviour, conflict, misunderstanding, indifference, jealously ad injustice. It brings a person to the bringk of disaster leads him to his ruin. It only this world had been free from jealousy and hatred it would have been verily a paradise.

So, to be free from hatred and jealousy , one should realise the evil effects of these two feelings and guard oneself against them. One should learn to appreciate the virtues in others and admire them. A person rises to his eminence by means of this effort and hard work. As Gina Cerminara said “As soon as a person can truly learn to love the disagreeable or restrictive person with when he is involved , he will released from the bondage of these two evils and can live peacefully in this world” curtsey wisdom

Quote from the True Charm and Power of Vedanta

A sense of insecurity, basically related to the survival instinct, is another from of suffering , which is beautifully depicted in the story of the The Lost child . it wanted toys, sweets, etc to begin which  . But the moment it found that it was lost and that its parents were no longer with it, it become disconsolate and the former objects of attraction did not interest it any longer.

With social , cultural moral and spiritual evolution of human beings and with the refinement of their tastes , the character of their suffering too changes . A person without musical sense might not feel the least discomfort on hearing a poorly sung, out of time song . but to a musician, the slightest disharmony would cause intense agony. Similarly, a moralist with a highly evolved ethical sense would feel deeply hurt by the moral lapses in people around, and more so in himself which in a morally insensitive person might not cause any problem an uncluttered aborigine might not hesitate to kill another if it served his selfish interest. There might be another person on the other extreme of moral scale, who might feel guilty even if an ill-feeling towards someone were to cross his mind. Wealth and possessions are positive means of joy for a definite source of pain. A lover of freedom would gladly bear all sufferings for it, and would never like to forfeit his freedom at any cost.
