Look Forward
Look forward and
your hopes will rise
Look forward!
Though stormy clouds frown in the skies
Look forward!
The steps of Time you can’t retrace
Press forward at an eager pace
Towards some finer, fairer place-
Look forward!
Look forward with a hopeful mind.
Look forward!
Resolve to leave the past behind
Look forward!
You can’t afford to let your gaze
Turn back to rest on other days.
Down brighter, better , boarder winning ways
Look forward!
How fruits Ripen
One can easily differentiate the ripe from the unripe fruits. Unripe fruits are typically hard, green , and have a sour or astringent
taste. The sour taste is due to the presence of organic acids crush as malice, citric and tartaric. They have high amounts of large molecule carbohydrates
called polysaccharides and low amounts of proteins. Ethylene gas plays a major
role in the process of ripening it
emanates from fruits and causes rapid and dramatic changes. When the process
begins, the green colour of the fruits disappears slowly red colored pigments such
as anthocyannins and cartenoids appears giving the fruits distinct colours. They
polysaccharides are broken down into smaller sugars which give the fruits the
sweet taste. The fruits also begin to soften. Volatile substances are produced during ripening which give many fruits their distinct aroma.

Quote from the True Charm and power of Vedanta
“Take refuge in Me, renouncing all your dharma” Come unto me
all ye who labor and are heavy laden, But, if renunciation of all dharma is the
final consummation , there is need for that earlier part of the fulfilling of
all dharma; that earlier part of the labor, of the evolutionary struggle.
This is essential if one is to be able to enjoy and benefit from that lofty relaxation of self –surrender. So , work hard; perform
al duties; develop yourself; then come and surrender to the highest . do a
whole day’s honest work , the sit and meditate; then resign oneself to God.
Otherwise, that mediation has no meaning or value. Mediation at the end of a
lazy day has no meaning; but the same at the end of an active day, filled with
good deeds, has meaning, and is rewarding. as I often point out , a retreat or
a holiday is meaningful and beneficial only after a whole month’s or a whole
year’s honest and productive labor; but to the unemployed , a holiday or a
retreat has no meaning.
Therefore, man and women who have exercised their own powers
and possibilities in the service of man, and who feel, like a chick, that their
erstwhile protective shell of individuality is harsh , to them comes this
transcendental urge and vision of pure religion, namely , complete
self-transcendence is in self-surrender, the flowering of manliness into full saintliness.
But the very idea of the transcendental suggests some thing
at the base. What is that base? That is what Sri Krsna calls manliness, which
involves the growth of man into the two dimension of alpa-atma, or raw
ego-centered individuality and maha-atma, or ripe ego –expanded and ethically
refined personality, vayktitva and vikasita vyaktitva, as we express it in
Sanskrit. The first involves achievement of individual identity and freedom ,
and the second involves achievement of freedom to the level of social and human
responsibility
When one surrenders everything to God , one become a saint.
A saint is one in whose heart God has manifested and who is God –filled.
Properly understood, that is the most meaningful , lofty , and beautiful
consummation of human life. Some of the greatest saints had surrendered their
everything and themselves also to God. So , also great God –filled devotees In India always experienced this attitude of akincna-bhava
self-effacement, of tadiyata, as belonging to Him’, as this Narada Bhakti
Sutras express it. That is surrender, but what a wonderful surrender it is !The
surrender to strength, the surrender of fullness the surrender of true victory!
That is the gratest music in the concert of spiritual life; and it breathers
energy and dynamism and bears the heroic touch. Whoever does it is a hero, a
dhira, as the Sankrit language express it.
If to gain life we need strength, to renounce life we need
greater strength, if to earn wealth we need strength , to renounce wealth we
need greater strength. That is why Divine Grace and self-surrender and
resignation to God, in there true forms, appear in spiritual life, only when
man has gained strength of character, This is not bhau-balam, muscular
strength, buddhi-balam intellectual strength, or nay others strength of worldly
will and purpose; but it is the subtlest from of strength known as yoga-balam,
strength spiritual , which reveals itself in men and women in the course of
their spiritual growth, and irrespective of the level fo society from which
they come and their economic status; it is only when one cultivate that
strength, that he or she will experience the value of true freedom, the freedom
of the spirit, and the true relaxation arising from emptying of self and
filling with God, resulting in spontaneity and naturalness as of Childs play
courtesy Divine Grace
The attempt to remove evil from the world by killing a
thousand evil-doers only adds to the evil in the world in action reaction. But
if the people can be made to desist from evil doing by means of spiritual
instruction there is no more evil in the world.
It is the nature of the brute to remain where he is . it is
the nature of an to seek good and avoid evil; it is the nature f God!
Do not say “You are bad”; say only, “you are good” but be
better!
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
seven 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
seven minutes a day. But, if He exists? I am afraid you are wasting your entire
lifetime. I prefer to waste seven minutes rather than a lifetime. Why should
you grudge me the 7minutes joy that I derive 4m.

Young Lady; “ I have tried thrice but
every time they insist for cash”
To includes this minds, therefore,
religion must become broad enough . Everything it claims must be judged from
the standpoint of reason. Why religious should claim that they are not bound to
abide by the standpoint of reason , no one knows. If one does not take the standard
of reason, there cannot be any true judgment, even in the case of religious.
One religion may ordain something very hideous, For instance, the Mohammedan
religion allows Mohammedans to kill all who are not of their religion. It is
clearly stated in the Koran. Kill the infidels if they do not become
Mohammedans’ They must be put to fire and sword. Now if we tell a Mohammedan
that his is wrong , he will naturally ask. ‘How do you know that? How do you
know it is not? My book says it is’ If
you say your book is older, there will come the Buddhist, and as my book
is much older still. Then will come the Hindu, and say y books are the oldest
of all. Therefore referring to books
will not do. Where is the standard by which you can compare? You will say ,
look at the Sermon on the Mount , and the Mohammedan will reply look at the
Ethics of the Koran. The Mohammedan will say, who is the arbiter as to which is
the better of the two? Neither the New Testament nor the Koran can be the
arbiter in a quarrel between them. There must be some independent authority,
and that cannot be any book, but something which is universal; and what is more
universal than reason? It has been said that reason is not strong enough; it
does not always help us to get at the Truth; many times it makes mistakes, and
therefore the conclusion is that we must believe in the authority of a church!
That was said to me by a Roman catholic, but I could not see the logic of it.
On the other hand I should say, if reason be so weak, a body or priests would
be weaker, and I am not going to accept their verdict, but I will abide by my
reason, because with all its weakness there is some change of my getting at
truth through it; while, by the other means , there is no such hope at all.
