The Best I can Ever Be
A Prince was taking a stroll in his beautiful garden, when a sudden doubt crossed his mind .Of what use was the garden? Did every thing in the garden benefit him as the owner?
Going near a mongo tree, the prince asked it, “Tell me, what are you doing for me?”
Going near a mongo tree, the prince asked it, “Tell me, what are you doing for me?’
In answer the mango tree said,” When the hot summer arrives, my branches are loaded with the most delicious mangoes. Your gardeners gather them, and they are served to you and your guests”.
The prince was very pleased.
“Well done”, he said to the mango tree.
Next , his eye fell on a huge banyan tree. It bore no fruit. The prince wondered what it could be doing for him.
“Tell me what you do for me?’ he demanded of the banyan tree.
“I beer no fruit like the mango tree”, the banyan replied. “ But I have my own uses. On my branches rest the chirping birds which sing their beautiful songs to wake you at dawn. And further , my spreading branches give shelter to your sheep and cattle!”
“Well done”, said the prince.
He now moved to the vast meadows of grass. the grass gave no fruit and could shelter none.
“What are you doing for me?’ he asked the grass.
“We give our life so that your sheep and cattle may be nourished”, the grass replied.
‘Well done!” exclaimed the prince.
His eye fell on a little daisy that grew amid the lush grass….
“Little one, what are you doing for me?” he asked the tiny flower.
“Nothing! Nothing!” exclaimed the daisy. “I give you no delicious fruits. I cannot offer nests to your birds, nor shade for your cattle, nor nourishment for your sheep and cows. All I can do is to be the best little daisy that I can ever be!”
The words went deep into the heart of the prince. Kneeling down, he kissed the little daisy.
“Well done little flower! There is no one like you, and I shall always wear you in my buttonhole to remind me that I must also be the best that I can ever be!’
Force is all-conquering, but its victories are short-lived.
The more argument you win, the fewer friends you will have.
Great talker are never great doers.
By practice , association and habit, thoughts tend to repeat themselves.
Tremendous Inner Strength
God places so many seeming difficulties in the path of our life. Only to enable us to know how to master them and gain tremendous inner strength.

Excessive Authority
Excessive authority, without liberty, is intolerable; but excessive liberty , without authority and without responsibility , soon becomes equally intolerable.
The hand of Grace
When I place my hand of faith in Thy Hand of Grace,
I feel secure and walk with free spirit.
When I walk with Thee, mountains of obstacles melt before my feet.
I am always safe when Thou dost lead me by The Hand of Grace.

I drive joy

There was a doctor in Benaras who spent 5 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 from? I am not robbing you of your joy; why should you rob me of mine. He asked. The critics were silenced. –Baba- Chinna Katha

Be genrous

Be generous with Praise
Speak to people , there is nothing as nice as a cheerful word of greeting.
Smile at people, it takes 72 muscles to frown.. only 16 to smile.
Call people by name; the sweetest music to anybody’s ear is the sound of their own name.
Be sincerely cordial; speak and act as it were a genuine pleasure.
Be considerate of the feelings of others.
Be thoughtful of the opinion of others; there are three sides to a controversy-your’s the other man’s and the right side.
Be genuinely interested in people; you can like everybody if you try.
Be generous with praise. Praise uplifts, criticism lowers.
Be alert to render service; above all, what counts in life is what we do for others.
Be fair in your criticism; remember you opinion is personal with you and it may not be always correct.
Greatness of Bhagavad-Gita
Bhagavad-Gita is one of the most popular sacred books of mankind. It is like a glittering jewel in the treasure house of the great epic. Mahabharata. Set in simple style, it imparts practical wisdom and has a universal appeal due to its excellent message.
Bhagavad-Gita comprises 18 chapters, divided into three sections- Karma(Work). Upasana(Devotio) and Jnana(Knowledge) The discourse between Arjuna and Krishna on the battle field forms the subject matters of the Gita, and it was the great sage Vyasa who made it an inseparable part of Mhabharata. The Gita has 700 verses in all.
The Gita has four speakers- Krishna, Arjuna, Sanjaya and the blind king Dhritirashtra.
The central teaching of the Gita is the attainment of freedom, by performing ones duty in life. The teachings are valid for all age groups and all occasions.
It is said that a man who recites the 18 chapters daily, with steady mind, attains the perfection of knowledge.
Thus , everyone who wished to make life worth living and achieve something precious must recite Bhagavadgita with devotion.
Punch Line
We should look long and carefully at ourselves before we pass judgment on our fellows.
O God! Teach us to spare for others at least something out of so much we are collecting from your rich universe.
A humble bee extracts essence from all kinds of flowers; like wise, a wise man collects essence from all the scriptures.
He is a wise who dies not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has.
Affection blinds reason.
The happiness you give makes you happier than the happiness you receive
It is for us to make effort. The result is always in the hands of God. Satisfaction lies in the effort not in the attainment. .
Maker of the Beautiful
It is beauty I love.
Thought like the foolish moth
Oft I burn my limbs in the flame;
Yet evermore my soul craves its attainment.
Beauty in the rose draws my heart;
Beauty of dawn exalts my soul;
Stillness of the nights fills me with wonder;
Beauty of face and beauty of sight
Awaken in my soul love and ever greater love.
In love and with love
I seek the Maker of the Beautiful.

Listening

Monday, April 27, 2009
The Art Of Listening
“Nature has given us two ears, two eyes, but one tongue, to the end that we should hear and see more than we should speak”.
Research On Listening Suggests;
A factor called “Listening comprehension” may be identified and isolated.
When improvement in listening is achieved, it may not be permanent.
There is a distinct difference between speaking rate and that of listening.
By increasing the rate of speaking by as much as 100% the listen rate does not suffer.
There is a high correlation between listening and intelligence; except in the case of unusually good readers.
One quarter of our waking life is spent in listening Elementary school children spend one half.
There types of listening;
You can improve your listening skills by being in good mental and physical health, not being preoccupied, being open minded being non defensive, minimizing interruptions.
Effective listening includes; hearing, interpreting when necessary, understanding the message and relating to it. A good listener learns to; Distinguish fact from opinion . Understand and evaluate inference and reasoning . Detect prejudices, assumptions, attitudes. Restructure vague speaking into clear meaning.
A good listener adds a new dimension to the art of communication.
Dr Carl Rogers asserts; “If I can listen to what he tells me, if I can understand how it seems to him. If I can sense the emotional flavor which it has for him , then I will be releasing potent forces of change within him”.
To make Man Great
Three things are necessary to make man great, every nation great. Conviction the powers of goodness. Absence of jealousy suspicion, and helping all who are trying to be and do good.
Progress
The test of our progress is not whether we add to the abundance of those who have much; It is whether we provide enough to those who have little.
Capable of Greater Things.
Men are often capable of greater things than they perform. They are sent into the world with bills of credit, and seldom draw to their full extent.
In every mistake you make, in every fall you encounter, there is a lesson of vital importance if you search if you search for it.
While the right to talk may be the beginning of freedom, the necessity of listening is what makes that right important.
Nothing gives one person so much advantage over another as to remain always cool and unruffled under all circumstances.
Truth stands on its own evidence. It does not require any other testimony to prove it true, it is self-effulgent.
Selfless Heart
Ye who love and serve without thought of self are blessed.
Ye who give your all and seek no gain.
Are blessed again and evermore.
For what shrine more holy than the selfless heart?
What offering richer than the gift that asketh no return.
