The Hold of Habits

Habits make the person you are . It is impossible to make a major change in your life without destroying the compulsive hold they have upon you. Changing self-defeating habits must take priority in life. Most of us are not even aware of the idea that our lives are built around so-called “bad-habits”. We are also ignorant that we have programmed wrong responses into our subconscious minds. Consequently , we must change ourselves to better ourselves

Can you give up anything you regard as desirable?

No. So no amount of will power is of any use unless we really want to give up old habits . Most of the time we make efforts to get rid of the painful effects of the habits rather than habits themselves. For instance most of the dieters begin on a serious note, feel deprived soon and start filling the mind with thoughts of food. Finally the dieter gets consumed by his thoughts and start overeating. Therefore, if a person wants to shed his weight, he must mentally orient himself to the idea.

A person who tutored his mind with the idea will seldom fall in his efforts,. Before you can change any habit , you must fully recognize and accept that you have one. The fact that you cant accept your faults is the reason why you cant overcome them. Verbally condemning yourself for having them only lightens their hold, thereby defeating all efforts to suppress them.

The next step in your efforts should be Creating of new, more positive habits by eliminating your negative habits through substitution by providing worthy positive thoughts and actions to replace them . it should bring back to your mind the efforts of parents who take away some harmful things from the hands of children, by offering something else in return . This keeps the child’s mind off what they had taken from him.

When you create a new positivity habit, you must be convinced that the change will bring about the gratification of a particular need or desire. As a new habit becomes stronger, we are less and less tempted by the old one. But we must constantly remember that old habits are not completely destroyed. They are only submersed. For this reason; we must always be aware of our thoughts and actions and keep dominant thoughts operating constructively upon new habits.

Sure Foundations

The sure foundations of the state are laid in knowledge , not in ignorance, and every sneer at education, at culture, at book learning. Which is the recorded wisdom of the experience of mankind, is the demagogues’s sneer at intelligent liberty, inviting national degeneracy and ruin.

If you wish to please people, you must begin by understanding them.

One –of-a-kind in Nature

The word “unique” denotes ‘one of a kind’ or something very special. Some animals are quite unique in this sense. For instance the blue whale is unique of its giant size and so also glow worms “Luciferae” that emit greenish glow at night. Like wise, there are a few more creatures which are unique.

Leach the parasite doctor, is a very special physician. Dr Andreas Michalsen and colleagues from Essen, Germany reported that Lech therapy is quite effective in treating patients with osteoarthritis. Twenty-four patients with this wear and tear of the ageing knee problem were given one-shot leech therapy. They allowed four to six leeches to attach themselves to each knee and drink blood for about an hour. They found leech therapy was far more effective then drug therapy.

Leech therapy which benefits those with other causes of pain, was used by the ancient Egyptians, Greek and Indian medicine men. They used the leech to help maintain the humoral balance into body. They attached in the body. They attached leech to the body for the cure, and detached it by sprinkling some salt water

How it acts as physician; The leech which is used in medicine is called Hirudo medicinal. It has five pairs of eyes and two suckers both on its from and back side. The head sucker searches and penetrates while the back sucker holds fast to the host. The bits of hirudo is painless because it has an anesthetic that makes the host feel nothing this substance is under study.

The effect of its saliva: The leech saliva has many other molecules of great medicinal interest. One of the molecules is a vaso-dilator and histamine that increases the diameter of blood vessels, helping to promote blood flow. Another is an enzyme called hyaluronidase. It breaks down hyaluronic acid, the boding material of the connective tissue , thus fostering the flow of blood and fluids form affected areas.

Another substance is leech saliva is hirudin. It is the most potent inhibitor of blood clothing known to date. Hirudin in leech helps continued blood flow by breaking of the aggregated fibrin plugs that clot and seal blood plugs that clot and seal blood leaks .hirudin also shuts off the mechanisms of Facotr VIII mediated blood coagulation. Genetic engineers in England are successfully in cloning the gene for hirudin and manufacture it through recombinant DNA technology.

We have to be thankful to the leech for the benefits it has opened up for modern medicine Hirudin made it possible to have its cousins balellin and eglin.

How must blood it drinks:

Leech drinks hardly 15 ml out of 3000-5000 of the human blood. And having drunk the parasite doctor moves on to chew the cud for six months. Courtesy wisdom

 Quote from the true charm and power of Vedanta

Therefore the absolute sameness of conditions, if that be the aim of ethics, appears to be impossible. That all men should be the same, could never be, however we might try men will be born differentiated; some will have more power than others not. We can never stop that. At the same time ring in our ears the wonderful words of morality proclaimed by our teachers; . Thus seeing the same God equally present in all, the sage does not injure Self by the Self, and thus reaches the highest goal. Even in this life they have conquered relative existence whose minds are firmly fixed on this sameness. For God is pure, and God is the same to all. Therefore such are said to be living in God’ We cannot deny that his is the real idea; yet at the same time comes the difficulty that the sameness as regards external forms and position can never be attained.

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.

Drawings –First Expression of Artist’s Vision

Drawing is making a picture with pen, pencil or charcoal, Together with painting and sculpture, drawing is one of the branches of fine arts.

An artist often makes a drawing in preparation for a large painting or sculpture but some famous artist make drawings that stand by themselves. Several techniques are use in drawing. Some artists faithfully copy what they see; others sketch only outlines. Some others give an exaggerated version of subject which shows what the artist thinks.

Often, rough sketches are sufficient- For example the comic strip or political cartoon is seldom a finished work. These are admired because their creators can tell a complete story with only a few lines of their sketches.

Commercial artists frequently use drawing techniques to make posters, newspapers or magazine advertisements or similar materials. A specialized skill is medical or scientific illustration which involves drawings difficult subjects.

Other types of drawings have specialized purpose which are not strictly artistic. For example, Mechanical drawing or drafting shows exact sizes and shapes of tools and machines with their inside parts that would not be ordinary seen. In such pictures the designer’s ideas are clear to the craftsman who will build the devices.

Architectural drafting use similar principles in the building construction industry. Both mechanical and architectural drawings are sometimes called blue prints because the machine that copies them uses blue ink.

Historically, the art of drawing can be traced back to the earliest records of man. Some Cave art is in the for of drawings.

Ancient Chinese used ink and brushes for their famous line drawings on scrolls and decorations. They and the Japanese still draw in this way today. Several artist of the 16^th century used pencil chalk ink and charcoal to sketch or draw their ideas before beginning a large painting or sculpture Famous artists like Leonardo Da Vinci and Michelangelo, left a treasure trove of drawings that show how they planned their major works.

Today the art of drawing has been widely accepted .Drawings are the first expression of the artist’s vision courtesy wisdom

Search for truth

That there could be a difference between a man who considers himself to be  a rationalist with a scientific bent of mind, and a seeker of truth was brought home to me by a recent incident. A friend of mine who was widely read in matters relating to science always insisted that belief in God and religion is the product of a sense of fear and uncertainty in the mind. I was convinced that he had absorbed the views of some eminent Westerner thinks. Fortunately, he did not say that exploitation is at the root of all religions. It may be admitted that in some primitive’s tribes, belief in God or religion originated from a sense of fear. But this is not the whole truth. In cultured, civilized communities, the religious feelings are not an expression of any fear. A man standing before a forked road may reflect a while as to which direction he should take . it is more sensible to say that the religious sense is the outcome of an

attempt to find answers to certain fundamental questions about life and the world. What was Gautama Buddha afraid of? What caused any fear in the mind of Shankaracharya? Should we consider the composers of the Upanishad to be the seekers of truth or escapists? In India, philosophy and religion grew from the insights into the nature of reality. The Gita rose to resolve the conflict in the mind of Arjuna. The Sankhyas, who make a valuable contribution to Indian philosophy, laid the foundation of inquiry, into the means of overcoming evils of life and existence. The origin of religion is an attempt to seek a way out of the limitations of the world; to attain the state of mind required for such relief . it is keen desire for the

exploration of the world within. My friend considered the behavior of such eminent thinkers to be nothing but a from of psychological obsession. I asked him in which century this psychological theory was developed. Don’t we see that the more recent scientific discoveries only disprove the previous discoveries which also scientific?

Tell Me How to Do It!

I don’t want a lawyer to tell me what I cannot do. I hire them to tell me how to do what I want to do.

Doing what you like is freedom, liking what you do is happiness.

If a man writes a better book, though he built his house in the woods, the world will make a beaten path to his door.

Quote from the True Charm and Power of Vedanta

Let me tell you that the realization of the Self is possible for all , without any exception . one should pray to God with a longig heart. God certainly listen to prayrs , if it is sincere. There is no dbout about it.

Pray to Him with a yearning heart and weep . That will purify your heart.

Pray to God with a yerning heart that you may tke delight in His name. he will certainly fulfill your hearts desire.

When a man sincerely prys to God , he is able to fix his mind on God and develp rel love for His Lotus Feet.

God is the Kalpataru. The Wish fulfilling Tree. You will certainly get whatever you ask of Him. But you must pray standing near the Kalpatarur . Only then will your prayer be fulfilled . But you must remember another thing God knows our inner feeling. A man gets the fulfillment of the desire he cherished , while practicing sadhana. As one thinks , so one receives.

Pray to God . he is full of compassion . Will He not listen to the words of His devotee? He is the Kalpataru. You will get whatever you desire from Him

will you tell me one thing? Why do you harp so much on sin ? By repeating a hundred tiems. “ I am a sinner”, one eerily becomes a sinner One hsoul have such faith as to be able to say, “What? I have taken the name of God; how can I be a sinner? God is our Father and Mother” Tell Him “O Lord, I have commited sins, but I wont repat them” Chant His name and purify your body and mind. Purify your tongue by singing God’s holy name.

A man can see God, if he combines in himself the force of these three attractions; the attraction of the worldly man, the husband’s attraction for the chaste wife, and the child’s attraction for its mother. If you can unite these form of love and give it all to God. Then you can see Him at once. If a devotee prays to God with real longing. God cannot help revealing Himself to him.

Abhyasayoga is the yoga of practice . you should practice calling on God every day. It is not possible to succeed in one day. Though daily prayer, you will come to long for God. Courtesy The power of prayers and The Art of Positive thinking
