Respect every human Being

Respect every human Being

We have several wonderful scriptures, for example , srimad Bhagavatam, it is a very holy book in which a Divine being taking a human form tells us. “If you insult me in human beings; Do not worship me in an image in a temple. I will not accept that worship”

That was the wrong we in India did in the past centuries. We insulted God n man and worshipped Him only in the temple . so nothing happened to us except political slavery and foreign invasions.

Now we have learned this lesson. All this distinction of caste and creed must be put to an end to Respect every human being. The divinity hidden within all. Among the verses in the Srimad Bhagavatam referred to above God in His human form as Kapila gives the advice to Devahuti, his mother . Here is the meaning of that famous verse.

“Worship Me in all being as their self who are already my temples by removing their left wats and respecting them with an attitude of friendliness and non –separateness”.

Swami  Vivekananda referred to the central theme of this verse in his lecture on “Future of India” delivered in Madras in 1897. “Do not merely serve people but worship them. “ he said, service with respect becomes worship . There is divinity in every human being. Therefore, worship Me in every human being. I have built a temple for myself in everyone of them. Worship Me, not  merely serve Me.

How to worship God in men? It can be done by removing their earthly wants. If they are hungry, find food, if they are unemployed find employment for them, If they are suffering  from diseases, find medical treatment for them. In every way, try to remove their felt wants. That is called “Daana” . While doing so, also respect them. Do not look down upon them. What a beautiful idea of inter human relations?-Then comes a friendly attitude . “ I am your friend “

When town people go to village to help the villagers , the villagers suspect them. People there have been exploited all the time. So make them realise that you are their friend. Then comes a wonderful word, an attitude of non –separateness. There is the same  Atman in you and in me.

Serve people respect them. Look upon them as a spank of the divine whether they are Christians, Muslims Hindu or low class” This ancient Vedantic message India receives today from Sri Ramakrishna Swami Vivekananda and Holy Mother Sarada Devi through both teaching and example Except from his speech delivered at Madurai)

Find True Happiness within You Heart

Hopelessness, anxiety, worry and irritability cannot cure the ills against which they are directed. They only add more misery to the troubles hat prompt them. The cultivation of a calm spirit cannot be overlooked  if lie is to yield any measure of usefulness and happiness. Even greater troubles, which annoy, would soon dissolve and disappear if confronted with a temper that refuses to be disturbed. Personal aims, wishes , sachems, and pleasure will meet with checks, rebuffs and obstacles;  and it is in learning to meet these reverses in wise and calm spirit that we find the true and abiding happiness with our heart .

Quote from the Cham and power of Vedanta

As thought guides all our bodily activities , so the Sages found that thought was the best medium for directing this life force. How little attention we pay to this great instrument which is placed in our hands by God Almighty! How often we abuse or misuse it! Yet our actions can never produce the best results until our thoughts are properly regulated. Only as we cease to dissipate our mental energies and are able to establish a balance between our outer and our inner activates, between our body and our mind , can we hope to have either peace or strength.

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.

Fast and Consistent will always Beat And steady.

Fast and Consistent will always Beat And steady.

All of us know about the race between the tortoise and the hare. The moral of the story was. Slow and steady wins the Race.

But the story continued….. The hare was disappointed at losing the race and he did some soul-searching. He realized that he had lost the race only because he and been overconfident. So, he challenged the tortoise to another race. The tortoise agreed This time, the hare ran without stopping, from start to finish. He won the race by several meters. The moral of the story changed. Fast and consistent will always beat the slow and steady.

But the story did not end there. The tortoise did some thinking this time. And realized that there is no way he can beat the hare in a race the way it was formatted. He thought for a while. And then challenged the hare to another race, but on a slightly different route. The hare agreed. They started off. The hare took off and ran at top speed until he came to a broad river. The finessing line was on the other side of the river. The hare sat there wondering what to do. In the meantime the tortoise trundled along , got into the river swam to the opposite bank and finished the race.

The moral of the story changed yet again. First identify your core competency and then choose the playing field. Working to your strength will not only get you noticed, but will also create opportunities for growth and advancement.

The story still did not end…. The hare and the tortoise, by this time , had become pretty good friends and they did some thinking together. Both realized that the last race could have been run much better. So they decided to do the last race again, but to run as a team this time. They started off, and this time the hare carried the tortoise till the river bank. There the tortoise took over  the swam across with the hare on his back. They reached the finishing line together. They both felt a greatest sense of satisfaction than they had felt earlier.

Finally the moral of the story was; it is good to be individually brilliant and to have strong core competencies; but unless you are able to work in a team and harness each others core competencies. You will always perform below par because there will always be situations at which you will do poorly and someone else does well.

To sum up, the changing story of the hare and tortoise teaches us  many things;

Never give up when faced with failure.

The fast and consistent will always beat the slow and steady

Work to your competencies.

Compare against the situation, not against  a rival.

Pooling resources and working as a team will always beat individual performers. ( courtesy ;”Parichaya”)

 

Quote from  the True Charam and  Power of Vedanta

It is not the aggressive man or the man with strong muscles who can expect to gain freedom; but the man who reflects. The man who governs his appetites, the man who lives in moderation, the man who has power to forgive, to love even his enemies; for he is the stronger man.

The power of resistance is good , but the power of non resistance is greater. As long as we have the feeling that some one is attacking us, we must protect our interest. But there may come a time when through the expansion of our nature, such feelings will disappear and we shall know that nothing can touch us. One may strike us, or speak angry words. but our understanding will place us so far above the blow or the insult that no impulse to retaliate will rise in us.And this is called non resistance. When our lower nature no longer asserts itself in us, whatever may be the provocation then self conquest is complete.

This indeed is the loftiest thing man can accomplish; for then his kingdom is not confined to a fixed country or people, but he carries his kingdom wherever he goes. Always is he the master. No external condition can disturb him, therefore he lives in eternal peace and happiness. So long as our thoughts ambitions and unsatisfied desires haunt us and made us restless, we know that we cannot find either freedom or peace even by going into the jungle. Self conquest alone will give us that for which all men are seeking . Let us then lay hold on the sword of wisdom and the shield of perseverance, that we may fight with undaunted courage and gain victory over only enemy , the self

Healthy mind is the best way to sound Body.

Healthy mind is the best way to sound Body.

Men of robust minds do not dwell upon their bodily condition . if it be in any way disordered they ignore it, and work on live on, as thought it were not. This ignoring of the body not only keeps the mind sane and strong, but it is the best resource for curing the body if we cannot have perfectly sound body, we can have a healthy mind. And healthy mind is the best route to a sound body.

A sickly mind is more deplorable than a disordered body. And it leads to sickness of body. The mental ivalid is in a far more pitiable condition than the bodily invalid. There are invalids who only need to lift themselves into a strong unselfish, happy frame of mind to find their body is whole and capable.

How to be attractive

Often we come across a man by far the most popular person in the city Although he is not by any means as attractive in appearance as some citizens. He wins more admiration than others from both men and women of the city. People comment on his charming personality . they call him an attractive person!

We must find out why he appeals to others, why he holds strong powers of attraction to others. He respects the rights of others. He praises people when they have done something praiseworthy, He helps others to feel that they have a personal  worth by showing them that they are important to him. He accepts cheerfully the wishes of others when they are different from his own. His ready smile helps others to see the life is not so gloomy as some of them think

You can also become attractive in the eyes of the public generally. People will like you best if you speak and act naturally without making any attempt at sell-display. When you don’t make any effort to create a good impression there is not artificiality and the genuineness of your personality gives it real beauty.

You would be the most attractive person if only you were yourself. But you would lose half your attractiveness by imitating another person. By copying someone else in your ideas. You are impoverishing rather than improving your personality. If you are ever to be come a distinct individual, you must develop your own original ideas and establish your own principles in lie.

Quote from the True charm and power of Vedanta

Thus you see that whatever might be our natural propensities, we are led to an entirely different way of valuing  things when we analyse s our environment. We find that this so –called life, this commination of body and soul, is not so desirable a thing. I am naturally deathless. Love of matter does not enable me to love God. In my true nature I am only a dweller in this body, the body and myself are not one and the same. It is because I forget this fact that Identify myself with the body, bring myself down to the most material condition, and regard myself as a being three and half cubits in length of weakness, physical and mental.

Such analysis can direct the mind of man towards his own real nature and towards Him who is his ral friend through eternity. Madahvacharya says that though the universe is made up three factors –matter, souls and God –still these are independent existences. Our goal is God. Real happiness and real wisdom. He alone can give.

Do not run away from facts.

 

Monday, 4 March 2013

Do not run away from facts.

Some people would rather have ulcers than face facts. They would rathe undergo a major operation at great risk and expense than open their heart to a doctor, priest or psychiatrist for advice!

At times their friends relatives and neighbours guess that all is not well with them. But they deny that it is not so and run away from facts, little knowing that facts also run with them.

Truth always burst. Many people go along life at great risks to their health. They do not want to face truth, to get at the root of the trouble and find a remedy or solution.

People should not run away from facts, for facts will run with them and even overtake them instead of worrying as to what they have to eat, they should see what is eating them.

I ask the great surgeon to be with me

In a large metropolitan hospital there is a surgeon who insists upon having a moment alone before entering the operating room. Because of his great skill many of the younger doctors wondered if there might be a relation between his success and this unusual habit. When one of the doctors put the question to the surgeon, he answered. “yes”, the is relationship, a very close one. Before each operation . I ask the great surgeon to be with me, to guide my hands in their work. There have been times when I did not know what to do next, and then came a power to go on-power which I know comes from God. I would not think of performing an operation without asking God’s help.

If you want Joy

A day spent in hard work gives a great meaning to life, the satisfaction of duty done and the joy of achieving results.

An artist enjoys his won painting , a farmer enjoys an apple from his won garden; each one enjoys his won produce, better than that of anyone else. The fruits of labour are sweeter than the gifts of fortune.

One should make the most of opportunities given, for an opportunity wasted never come sack. What is to be done, do today, because tomorrow is uncertain. Act while the sun shines. Form .”The night will come when no one can act’, says the Bble.

If you want joy, work now; if you don’t , sorrow will follow.

Those who imagine truth in untruth!

Those who imagine truth in untruth. And see untruth in truth, never arrive at truth, but follow vain desires. They who know truth in truth, and untruth in untruth, arrive at truth and follow true desires. –Dhammapada.

Like the most match!

The heart of the devotee is like the dry match; and the slightest mention of the name of the Deity kindles the fire of love in his heart. But the mind of the worldly soaked in lust and greed is like the moist match and can never be heated to enthusiasm, though God may be preached to him innumerable times. Sir Ramkrishna.

Success!

Success depends partly on whether people like you wherever you go or whenever you go.

Undertake something that is difficult; it will do you good. Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow.

Quote from the true Charm and Power for Vedanta.

We find in the Bhagavad Gita various descriptions of the ultimate Reality . he is described as having no form or attribute, as having attributes but formless, and again as having both from and attributes-which shows that He is both impersonal and personal and yet beyond both, for we cannot limit Him and say He is this much , since the Infinite can never be an object of finite knowledge. In this impersonal aspect He is Brahman, the highest imperishable principle. The unmanliest beyond the other manifest. Viz. Prakriti. This unmanliest, imperishable Brahman is the supreme goal, attaining which one does not return. Being beyond the range of the senses. It has no pheno0menal existence.  It Is not non being either, for it makes itself felt through the functions of the various sense as the driving force behind them.  It  is bereft of all sense organs for otherwise it would be limited like ordinary beings. Therefore the attribution of sense-organs. to it is only figurative and not real. It is unattached, yet sustains everything as its substratum, being existence itself. It is without attributes, yet the energizer  all attributes. It is far and yet near, as our very soul. It is undivided in beings yet remains as if divided. All these apparent contradictions are resolved. If we remember that Brhaman is both transcendent and immanent. Brhaman has become this universe and yet tr5anscends it. When the transcendent Brhaman appears as this universe.  It becomes subject, as it were, to certain limitations which do not really belong to It, but to the phenomenal world. Hence this paradoxical description through affirmation and negation. It is the Light of lights and beyond darkness or ignorance. The sun does not illuminate It , nor the moon, nor the fire. This Brhaman is the one Reality to be known in order to attain immortality. To those whose ignorance is destroyed. Their knowledge manifest . it . In this description of the impersonal we have an echo of the Upanishads.
