Quote
from the True Charm and Power of Vedanta
Knowledge
Pleasure is not the goal of man, but knowledge. Knowledge is the goal of all life. We are all of us struggling towards knowledge. The real life of man consists of knowledge. He who can become made with an idea , he alone sees light{177)
All our
knowledge is based upon experience. Instinct, reason and inspiration are the
three instrument of knowledge. Generation is the essence of knowledge. Books
are infinite in number and time is short therefore the secret of knowledge is
to take what it essential.
The gift
of knowledge is the highest gift in the world.
The first end of life is knowledge; the second end of life is happiness. Knowledge and happiness lead to freedom. No action can give you freedom only knowledge can make you free. Knowledge is irrisistable; the mind cannot take it or reject it. Knowledge alone can make us perfect. {VII=18) Knowledge is power (144) The only value of knowledge is in the strengthening the disciplining of the mind .
All knowledge
must stand on perception of certain facts, and upon that we have to build or reasoning.
All human knowledge proceeds out of experience , we cannot know anything except
by experience . all knowledge is by reaction. All knowledge and all power are
within and not without. Curtsey

What
Makes You a Leader
By SHRI
SHRI NIMISHANANDA
Today, no one is working with full potential. That is why we are anonymous. Usually, one notices three patterns in the lives of people. Some lead, others follow, while many quit. Leaders are those who have self-motivation, zeal and dedication. They have the ability to tune into their inner Self, so they can guide and motivate others. Those who follow must have the enthusiasm to comprehend and implement the mission and vision placed before them.
They
must also work at transforming their own shortcomings. We see many quitters
around us. They flow with worldly currents and lead mechanical lives. Which
quality prevents us from becoming mechanical? Awareness. If we are constantly
aware, life is always interesting. We enjoy everything, for everything inspires
us. Awareness is not alertness.
Alertness requires effort and has an element of stress. Awareness is alertness without tension. We should do nothing mechanically. Even stirring a spoon of sugar into a cup of tea should be done with complete awareness. Then there is always a deep sense of joy and connectivity with Divinity. Awareness is a relaxed and expansive state that eliminates tension.
Lack of
awareness also generates indifference for others, while awareness creates
complete connectivity with Divinity and all beings. We become natural leaders
who inspire and ignite the flame of awareness in every being
IF HE
EXIST
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.-
