Quote from the True Charm and power of Vedanta
Take courage and have infinite patience. Patience will conquer
everything- Have wonderful determination and say boldly. “I must live a true
life!” Show your strength and say fearlessly so the world. “Get thee off, proud
world! I do not want thee. I do not need thy help” Bring out all your strength and
repeat again and again, “I am strong! I am pure! I am true!” You will see how quickly
the clouds of ignorance will vanish and how soon your pure heart will be
filled, with Divine love and light.
Fear? Whom to fear? What is there for us to fear? Shall we show
our back to the enemy? No, never! Let us die on the battlefield like heroes rather
then live a life of slavery-He can fight boldly who has a sword of wisdom and a
shield of purity.
Experience Life Fully

Senses, the creation of God, are, in fact, a portal to a full
life. They are, therefore, of value to the spiritual and the aspiritual. Such
full experience of life through the senses is the privilege of everyone. Where,
then, does one err, and how can the senses be used in an optimal way for a
fuller experience of life? The error most commonly lies in fragmented use of
the senses.
This could be, at times, a fallout of education. We are taught,
for instance, that the rose is red. In the mind, rose gets associated with red.
It gets restricted to red. The fact is that the redness is only general; in
fact, no two red roses are of the same hue. The shades are endless. The eye
must be sensitive to the subtle differences in colour and be able to see a rose
as the rose, something unique.
Poet Hopkins called this focused habit of appreciating
particularity as seeing the ‘this-ness of this’. The rose is more than mere
colour. If you see the rose only for its beautiful colour, you are, in effect,
under-experiencing it, because you are using only your eyes, only one of the
five senses. The rose has an architecture, a feel, fragrance, sweetness, a
whisper.
Did you experience these? Did you hear the whisper? Experience the
rose fully. Bend down to it, dive into it. You may see the cosmos in it. See
yourself in it. Commune with the rose as if it is God. When you learn to do
this, you will stop using the expression of ‘seeing’ a rose. You will use the
more comprehensive expression of ‘experiencing’ the rose (or any other thing).

–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.-
