Take nothing for granted;

Check your name , number, etc. before handing over your paper. Make sure you follow all instruction in the question paper and answer booklet cover.

When America turned its lights off!!.

Thomas , an eight years-old boy, sickly and partially deaf was far behind his classmates in academics. Teacher were angry with him because he was slow to pick up. His classmates made fun of him. Thomas lived in an unkind world. But he had a mother who was happy to have him. A mother who would sit with him each evening, at the kitchen counter and listen to how bad his day had been.

One day , Thomas came home with a letter from the headmaster of his school. He was expelled because his learning was slow . His mother did not fuss much about the latter . she knew he was slower than most others. But she believed Thomas could learn if lessons were taught to him with love. She worked on teaching him herself at home. It began to work. Soon Thomas started inventing several new things, a lot of them silly in the beginning

When Thomas finally died, the whole nation the people of the united states of America honoured him by switching off the lights throughout the entire U.S.a for one minute. This is the Thomas whom his head master expelled from school because his brain worked slower; the one whose classmates laughed at. This Thomas was Thomas Alva Edison, inventor of the light bulb and phonograph. And that headmaster and the teasing classmates were nowhere when America turned its lights off to honour Thomas Alva Edison at his death.

There is something beautiful about every creature of God and particularly so about every human being. Who are we to criticise a person created in the image and likeness of God? Let us learn to find beauty in every person we meet! (courtesy “East and West Series).

Quote from the True Charm and Power of Vedanta

All are equal to God and He does not discriminate. He who surrenders to Him whole heartedly receives his blessings.

God protects him who takes refuge in God, from all dangers. The messengers of Death cannot dare approach him. He attains to the abode of God, discarding this mortal body with joy and peace.

The sense , mind and intellect are instruments operated by the Master, who is sitting in the heart . though the Lord alone is the operator , the jiva forgets this fact and out of ego tries to take the credit for himself and brings about his won destruction.

The cause of bondage is the ego sense and because of it the Divine Spirit is tied down to the body mind complex. ‘I am not this body, but I am the Atman within the body, such discrimination between the real and the unreal ultimately leads to realization of one’s own nature which leads to liberation.

                           

 

 

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

It is The Hour of Trial That Makes Men Great

It is The Hour of Trial That Makes Men Great

“The harder the battle, the sweeter the victory”. There is a wealth of truth in this ancient saying. The human being  has the tendency to want  everything going the way he feels it ought to go , and if things are not going that way then life becomes difficult. It appears that we have been programmed into wanting  everything RIGHT NOW, this moment, not  a second later. We just cannot wait for anything . Science and technology have made everything instant and immediate. We want a hight position at work, but are not prepared to go through the hardship of climbing the leader of success, instead we search for an elevator. We want to be loved and have our ideas respected to the ideas of others.

To carve a beautiful statue, just see how much the sculptor has to hammer and chisel away at the stone. Everything requires efforts and it is those very efforts that endow you with the qualifications for holding the position you desire or even for seeing your “dream come true”. It is those very hardships that give you the strength to go ahead and the determination to succeed. . without the pitfalls how would you be able to value your achievement? If the fruit simply falls from the tree, you  discard it as a rotten fruit. When you pick it yourself it seems so sweet. After all, it is the hour of trial that makes men great. NOT the hour of triumph.  (From “Just A Moment)

The difference between a successful person and a failure often lies in the fact that the successful man will profit by his mistakes and try again in a different way.

To cheer some lonely soul today

To cheer some lonely soul today.

And to spread some joy along the way

To find more love with each new day

Such is fellowship in this world.

To wipe away some childish tears

And ease their hearts and still their fears

And keep them smiling through the years.

Such is fellowship in this world

If I can feel I ‘ve lived my part

To soothe another’s broken heart and smile away tears before they start

I’ve lived a better life.

Secret of ageing

German researchers are convinced that the secret of aging is the brain. The cortex (the superficial or outer layer of the brain) which conveys the sensory perception, diminishes in volume with aging . after careful microscopical studies they have concluded that the should be used an much actively as possible to put off the aging process.

Quote from the true charm and power of Vedanta

All the powers in the universe are already ours. It is we who have put our hands before our eyes and cry that it is dark. Know that there is no darkness around us. Take the hands away and here is the light which was from the beginning . Darkness never existed, weakness never existed. We who  are fools cry that we are weak; we who are fools cry that we are impure. Thus Vedanta not only insists that the ideal is practical, but that it has been so all the time; and this ideal, this Reality, is our own nature. Everything else that you see is false, untrue. As soon as you say. “I am a little mortal being, you are saying something which is not true, you are giving the lie to yourselves, you are hypnotising yourselves into something vile and weak and wretched.

The Vedanta recognise no sin, it only recognises error. And the greatest error, says  the Vedanta , is to say that you are weak, that you are a sinner, a miserable creature, and that you have no power and you cannot do this and that. Every time you think in that way, you , as it were, rivet one more link in the chain that binds you down, you add one more layer of hypnotism on to your own soul.
