Quote
from the True Charm and Power of Vedanta
Live one
day at a time
Avoid unhealthy
worries.
Reduce your
desires,
Take notice
of simple things.
Trust in
God.
Be friendly
Be satisfied
Appreciate
yourself
Make love
your sole aim
Care for
others
Choose…
You are
happy when you view each day as a fresh beginning bright with promise, and
never define yourself in terms of past accomplishments.
Try new
things in a new way,
No matter
what it may be.
A chance
to make a fresh beginning.
And to
change failure into winning.
To live
a little better.
And let
your faith not shatter.
You can
be a winner,
When God
is on your side,
Just trust
His loving care
For He
can turn the tide.
You are
happy when you avoid unhealthy worries about tomorrow, for it never frees
tomorrow of the sorrow, but only saps today of its strength in other words
worry dissipates our strength and inhabits the enjoyment and intensify of the
present moment
…
To Take
a Deep Breath
NARAYANI
GANESH
For
people like me who like spending time outdoors, breathing in freely circulating
air and enjoying the wind in one’s hair and the rustle of leaves underfoot, the
gym is not a good option. A closed environment symbolically shuts down the
feeling of liberation and openness, and despite long periods on the treadmill
and other devices, one is left wanting; even stressed.
But,
for urban dwellers in India, there are very few outdoor outlets that are not
polluted, dirty, dusty or crowded. The Swedes are lucky: 70% of Sweden is
covered with forest, so nature is within reach for most people, wherever they
live. In a small country like Britain, the sea is never more than 70 km away
(on an average), no matter which part of the Isle you live in.
In
large countries like India, however, with large populations and high density,
accessing the clean outdoors is a luxury. In natural surroundings, one’s mental
and physical health find space to bloom, untrammelled by constrictions so
typical in indoor settings. We feel less of negative emotions and stress levels
plummet.
Which
is why ‘forest bathing’ is so popular in Japan, where city dwellers are
encouraged to spend time walking amidst trees in forested areas to open their
minds and boost their physical health. The Covid-19 pandemic has perforce kept
most of us indoors for most part of a whole year — something unimaginable in
‘normal’ times.
And the
situation continues indefinitely. Yet, even as the lockdowns reveal the
importance of family time, frugality, creativity and de-cluttering, they have
also brought home to us the value of the outdoors and how much we miss it.
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.-
