Quote from
the true charm and power of Vedanta
Can we
be scientific and yet be spiritual
This is spiritual empiricism if we ma use such term, has been a bold feature of Indian spiritual search and research down millenniums, beginning from the Vedic times and continuing up to the present day. One of the reasons of India’s capacity to keep producing in an unbroken line great saints, is to be sought here this futures, which way somehow never lost to India, was acidized in Sri Ramakrishna’s life to an amazing degree.
When his
disciples came some of whom did not hide their frontal scientific bias, Sri
Rama Krishna accepted their mispronounced challenge with masterly case.
And because he himself was fully convinced about the validity of the approach which we call scientific he not only never frowned on any who had pronounced scientific leanings; on the other hand he encouraged them.
One day
when a visitor was arguing with Sri Ramakrishna on a point which he could not accept
a devotee said to the visitor with pious annoyance. “Why don’t you accept what
he says?” Sri Ramakrishna turned on the devotee and said sharply, “What sort of
man are you?
To accept
words without conviction! Why , that is hypocrisy! I see you are only a counterfeit.

BAHA’U’LLAH
Be generous in prosperity and thankful in adversity. Be worthy of the trust of thy neighbour, and look upon him with a bright and friendly face. Be a treasure to the poor, an admonisher to the rich, an answerer of the cry of the needy, a preserver of the sanctity of thy pledge.
Be fair
in thy judgement, and guarded in thy speech. Be unjust to no man, and show all
meekness to all men. Be as a lamp unto those who walk in darkness, a joy to the
sorrowful, a sea for the thirsty, a haven for the distressed, an upholder and
defender of the victim of oppression.
Let
integrity and uprightness distinguish all thine acts. Be a home for the
stranger, a balm for the suffering, a tower of strength for the fugitive. Be
eyes to the blind and a guiding light unto the feet of the erring.
Be an
ornament to the countenance of truth, a crown to the brow of fidelity, a pillar
of the temple of righteousness, a breath of life to the body of mankind, an
ensign of the hosts of justice, a luminary above the horizon of virtue, a dew
to the soil of the human heart, an ark on the ocean of knowledge, a sun in the
heaven of bounty, a gem on the diadem of wisdom, a shining light in the
firmament of thy generation, a fruit upon the tree of humility.
Beautify
your tongues, O people, with truthfulness, and adorn your souls with the
ornament of honesty
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.-
