Secret of Success.

People who have an aim are already on the road t success. You too can have an aim and give a shape to it as best as you can.

The secret of success is constancy of purpose with an aim in life, set yourself a target, a clear goal. Your aim makes energy available for the activity required. Your aim also works as an energizer and crates suitable climate and conditions.

Only with an aim Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnana. Philosopher educationist and writer, could win fame and fortune .

He built the Suez and panama canals and conferred upon humanity two great benefits john Davison Rockefeller.

Like the great men and women of the world you should have an aim to do something surprising and wonderful, which people will keep in their heart and remember forever . the mere act of aiming oat something big and working for it makes you big.

Value of Time

The value of time most felt by various individuals.

one year, by a student who failed for want of few marks and has to waste one full year.

One month ; by a mother who has delivered a premature baby.

One week ; by the editor who could not bring out the magazine for the week.

One hour; by the bereaved family when the doctor says that if only they had brought the patient earlier by an hour, he could have saved the life.

Ten minutes ; by the person who missed the beloved because his two wheeler broke down.

One minute by the person seeing the tail-lamp of the train he should have boarded.

One hundredth of a second by the sportsman who won the silver medal at the Olympics losing the Gold.

Quote from the True Charm and Power of Vedanta

Incarnation come not to destroy, but to fulfil, and this statement is particularly true of Sri Krishna. he did not break of ff from accepted traditions, though he completely changed their significance and bearing. He interpreted old ideals in a new light to make them suitable to the conditions of life in society and to give it further push towards progress and perfection. Conflicts between ideals were resolved in a new synthesis which made life smooth both for the individual and society as a whole. This is the fundamental note in the message off the Gita- the spirit of harmony, the finding of unity in diversity; and from this point o view all apparent contradiction in it or resolved.

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 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.

Enthusiasm is an important asset

Enthusiasm I san important asset that keeps us active whether we are nine or ninety. This means that people of all ages can find youthfulness if they have eagerness to fulfil their ambition. Everyone has enthusiasm whether they are aware of it or not, simply because enthusiasm is within each of us waiting to be utilised for creative performance and reaching a goal.

You must find your enthusiasm . like opportunity, you must create it for yourself. In other words , no one can make you  enthusiastic.

Enthusiasm is a though, turned into a performance , it is an endless energy that propels you to your destination. But first you must have a goal you want to reach. Enthusiasm means that you believe in yourself, that you can move forward with courage, that you can return to your duty to complete a job, that you can practise self discipline, that you have a dream, that you see a victory nearby, you will reach your goal if you use your imagination, grow daily in stature, and adjust to realities while you work for improvement.

In the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson “Nothing great was ever achieve without enthusiasm”

Guidelines for peaceful living

Cultivate good habits. Sri Paramhansa Yogananda said : Good habits are your best helpers, preserve their force by stimulating them with good actions. “

Never trouble another for what you can do yourself. Self-help is the best help. Algernon Sidney said: “God helps those who help themselves”

What you have to do today, do it today itself. Time wasted cannot the regained as a great thinker said; “Lost , yesterday. Somewhere between sunrise and sunset, two golden hours each set with sixty diamond minutes . no reward is offered for they are gone forever. “

Be true to yourself. Polybius wrote; There is no witness so dreadful, no accuser no terrible as the conscience that dwells in every man”

Keep account of every paisa you spend . Benjamine Franklin warns us by saying “Beware of little expenses. A small leak will sink a great ship”

Be contented with what God has given you and thank Him for his blessings , remembering Josh Billing’s words. “Life consists not in holding good cards but in playing those you hold well”

In whatever position you are placed , try to remain contented. Condorcet wrote “Enjoy your own life without comparing it with that of another.

Quote from the true charm and power of Vedanta

So the Explanation of  a personal God as the creator of the universe has to stand that test. If that God is out of nature, having nothing to do with nature, and this nature is the outcome of the command of that God and produced from nothing, it is a very unscientific theory, and this has been the weak point of every Theistic religion throughout the ages. These two defects we find in what is generally called the theory of monotheism, the theory of a personal God, with all the qualities of a human being multiplied very much , who, by His will, created this universe out of nothing and yet is separated from it. This leads us into two difficulties.

As we have seen, it is not a sufficient generalisation, and secondly , it is not an explanation of nature from nature it holds that the effect is not the cause , that the cause is entirely separate from the effect. Yet all human knowledge shows that the effect is but the cause in another form. To this idea the discoveries of modern science are tending everyday. And the latest theory that ahs been accepted o all sides is the theory of evolution, the principle of which is that the effect is but the cause in another form, a readjustment of this cause, and the cause takes the form of the effect . the theory of creation out of nothing would be laughed at by modern scientist.

America the most prosperous nation in the world. Work, when applied towards a meaningful goal, develops human potential.

It is work that has bridged the chasms. Tunnelled the mountains , placed the giant communication cables on the bottom of the sea, built highways over plains and deserts. Lifted space ships to the moon, built our factories erected our schools and hospitals , and made the scientific discoveries that have made our lives easier and happier.

Work is a ways of putting your stamp on what you do. If it your personality. Your own uniqueness. Only through your work can you contribute to human progress . James w Elliot said. “Work is life and good work is good life” work is love in action . work supported by a healthy self-image and a positive mental attitude, multiplies , all future achievement

A void negative sources (negative people, negative places, negative things and negative habits) Believes in your self. Consider things from every angle. Do not give up, enjoy life today. Yesterday is gone and tomorrow may not come. Family and friends are hidden treasures. Seek them and enjoy their riches. Give more then you plan to give. Hang onto your dreams. Ignore those who try to discourage you. Just do it. Keep on trying. No matter how hard it seems, it will get easier. Love yourself first. Make things happen. Never lie, never cheat, never steal and always strike a fair deal. Open your eyes and see things as they really are . practice makes perfection. Quitters never win and winners never quit.  Read study and learn about everything important in your life. Stop postponing. Take control of your own destiny. Understand yourself in order to better understand others. Visualise positive results. Want it more then anything “x” celebrate your efforts. You are unique in God’s creation. Nothing can replace you Zealous effort is a must.

Quote from the True charm and power of Vedanta

We know so little about our real selves! And so little, again, of reality! It is all mysterious. Precise  knowledge of anything is so difficult to attain! The little learning that we acquire with the utmost labour of a whole life, has to be done with the help of so many persons! Without their help, our progress will be very slow. If not impossible . and yet the learning and knowledge of even the greatest scholar is nothing, is a mere speck, compared with the infinity that remains to be explored. And what is God realization? It is the totality of knowledge. Consider, then the amount and kind of help we must have before we can make any real progress in the path of spirituality . this path is he set with innumerable obstacles. It si a narrow path, not straight or board. Who can tell us if we are going along the correct path o have lost our way ? Nobody but the Guru or Teacher.

Keep close with God True and enduring happiness depends on close alliance with Him.  It is your privilege to share His thoughts for your spiritual nourishment, and to have a constant assurance of Divine protection and guidance.

Both science and religion are interdependent.

The speed with which corruption charges decorate the front page of newspapers all over the world clearly indicates that we go backward in “spiritual life” with the advancement of science.

“Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely’ has become true.

Religion without science is superstitious and science without religion is foolish. But in practice in the name of scientific development we are digging religion in the graveyard. Let us not forget that religion is for our” standard of life” but science can increase only our “standard of living”

The sad paradox of scientific development is that scientific suppression has started replacing religious superstition. Religion begins where science ends and both are dependent on each other.

You too can make your dream happen!

Monday 27 January 2014

You too can make your dream happen!

History is full of tales of experts who were convinced that the ideas, plans and projects of others could never be achieved . however , accomplishment came. To those who said, “I can make it happen”

The Italian sculptor Agostino d’Antonio worked diligently on a large piece fo marble. Unable to produce his desired master piece, he lamented. I can do nothgn with it”. Other sculptors also worked this difficult piece of marble, but without success. Michelangelo discovered the stone and visualised the possibilities in it. His “I can make it happen” attitude resulted in one of the world masterpieces. David.

The experts of Spain concluded that Columbus” plans to discover a new and shorter route to the west Indies was virtually impossible . queen Isabella and King Ferdinand ignored the report of the experts.”I can make it happen, Columbus persisted And he did, everyone knew the world was flat. But not Columbus. Columbus with his small band of followers. Soiled to “impossible” new lands and thriving resources.

Even the great Thomas Alva Edison discouraged his friend, Henry Ford, from pursuing his idea of motorcar. Convinced of the worthlessness of the idea . Edison invited Ford to come and work for him. For remained committed and tirelessly pursued his dream. Although his first attempt resulted in a vehicle with out reverse gear. Henry Ford knew he could make it happen . And, of course , he did.

Let’s into forget our friends Orville and Wilbur Wright. Journalists, friends, armed forces specialists, and even their father laughed at the idea of an airplane. What a silly and insane way to spend money . leave flying to the birds.” They jeered. “Sorry” , the Wright brothers responded. We have a dream and we can make it happened” As a result, a place called Kitty hawk. North Carolina, became the setting for the launching of their “ridiculous “ idea finally , as you read these accounts under the magnificent lighting of your environment , consider the plight of Benjamin Franklin. He was admonished to stop the foolish experimenting with lighting . what an absurdity and waste of time ! think goodness Franklin knew and he make it happen. You too can make your dream happen!

Attain perfection with determination

As human being we are not perfect in everything . but we should strive for perfection for the sheer joy of doing something well, just for its essential value. Man has great potential. He needs to understand his role in life, so that the realisation of his ideals will not be difficult task. He can easily climb over the ladder of perfection if he could be sure of the path to walk on. There are many dutiful persons among us who have attained perfection with determination. Hard work, and perseverance, God almighty has commanded us to be perfect. The first step in setting things right is to accept the challenge of being true to ourselves!

The true Charm and Power of Vedanta

At least after coming to know that there is joy and success in concentration, a student must not remain idle, he must at ones apply himself to practise it diligently.

It is indeed a true sign of concentration if one is absorbed in studies to the extent of forgetting not only the surroundings but even his body!

If one is desirous to overcome the diseases of his body and to enjoy sound healthy, if one intends to develop his intelligence. If one is really particular to achieve concentration be should take recourse to practise of ygasansa. Regular practise of yogasansas strengthens and activates the nervous system and thereby helps in developing concentration. Yogasanas are a boon to humanity.

How to keep your mind active

Monday 20 January 2014

How to keep your mind active

After a time a man tends to settle down. He has achieved a secure position , his children are grown up and experience has made tasks easy. Thus he becomes a comfortable person and rarely realises how much he has sunk into a rut until some one younger gets ahead of him.

When this happens he may fall into pessimism and develop a grudge against the world in general. Or he may wisely, decide to find out why it that a man of his ability and experience was passed over in his way. He may then realise that he has gone into a rut, and that his mind needs waking up.

One symptom of his condition Is forgetfulness. Most people would have good memories, if they would keep them exercised. As the body will get weak if it is not exercised. As the body will get weak if it is not exercised, so too the mind will become inefficient if it is not given enough work.

Memory should not be doubted . our mental capacity is enormous . modern scientist tell of great number of brain cells each capable of use. Most persons do not use half of them .

Realising that we have such a mental capacity , we should learn to use it. Trust your memory , for this is the best way to keep it young. Secondly , get your mind active by developing new interests. One prime reason for forgetting is inattention. You cannot have the kind of impression which is essential for prompt and clear recollection, unless you are attentive, you generally take interest in what you like.

It is good idea to develop new interest by attending to new things. It is observed hat visitors to a town often see and know far more about the town than the natives do. Cultivate interest in your town and surroundings.

Few places are without their beauty spots, their architectural features. Treasures of art etc. if you do not understand art and architecture. There  are excellent book which aim at helping newcomers. There is no better mental tonic than the cultivation of the sense of beauty.

A way good mind stretching exercise is to learn beautiful verse by heart.

To supplement these methods, one might learn to speak in public without notes . it is impossible to do this effectively without good preparation which again will stretch the mind. It will also give great pleasures, for to deliver a speech in which you give a real message without  consulting notes can be a most thrilling experience.

An almost endless variety of exercises of this kind can be practised. They serve to promote the spirit of adventure.

New knowledge of every kind should be coordinated. New experiences should be sought and then associated with old knowledge.

When you go on a holiday  insist on going to a new place where you will have to see different things. You are taken into a new world which freshens a tired mind and stimulate interest.

If you know a little of anew language and you can go somewhere where you will be forced to speak it, so much the better it is a new experience which stimulates your mind.  

You can sit down quietly and review mentally what you have done throughout the day, asking yourself such questions as “What new things have I seen or heard to day? What is its meaning to me? “where does this new knowledge fit in with what I already know; what are the similarities and the differences?” what new ideas do I see coming out of the comparison?”

Questions like these keep us alert. A man who deals with his mind in similar ways will never he subjected to disappointment.

Quote from the true charm and power of Vedanta

Give-up everything to Him, resign your self to Him and there will be no more trouble  fro you. Then you will come to know that everything I sonde by His will, To live in the world or to leave it depends upon will of God. Therefore, work leaving everything to Him. What else can you do?

To work alone thou last right. But never to the fruits thereof. Be thou neither actuated by the fruits of action , nor be thou attached to inaction
