DUTY AND SERVICE

Quote from the True charm and Power of Vedanta

DUTY AND SERVICE

The path of duty lies in near, and men seek for it in what is remote. The work of duty lies in what is easy, and men seek for it in what is difficult. Mencias

When thou makest a dinner, call not they friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen nor the rich neighbours, lest they also bid thee again, and a recompense be made thee. But when thou makest a feast, call the poor , the maimed, the Jane, the blind, and thou shalt be blessed. Jesus .

Is there any common standard of duty? In studying the ethical laws of various peoples, we are led to believe that there cannot be any universal objective standard; but there si a subjective principle which underlies the moral codes of all nations. The outward form of duty changes according to our position in life. It can never be defined therefore by any fixed set of rules. That which might be a duty in one condition would not be under other circumstances. All objective duty is determined by a man’s relation to his external environment, hence it must necessarily remain relative; but subjective duty concerns only man himself and his character. It has to do not with his action, but which his motive, with a principle, not with its mode of application; therefore there can be an abstract law common to all mankind . it may be summed up thus . that which makes a man forget his own little self for others and leads him towards his ideal is his highest duty’

It is not possible however, to reach this abstract subjective ideal without first following the path of immediate outer duties. We must begin by fulfilling the obligations which are nearest to us. First we must perform our duty towards our family, our community , our country; then as our heart grows in understanding and sympathy, we are gradually able to do our share fo good to all living beings. But we cannot realize this great ideal and undertake the larger tasks of life until we have proved ourselves by ably performing the small ones at our hand; and no matter how insignificant our unpleasant these may seem, they are the only ones for us. As it is said in the Bhagavad Gita; “Better one’s own duty, though devoid of merit, then the duty of another well performed. Better is death in following one’s own duty; they duty of another is full of danger. ‘Why’ ? Because nothing can be gained by undertaking an alien duty.

Affluence & Happiness

By Satyendra Garg

The other day I came across an interesting report that despite earning lots of money, people in affluent countries are insecure and depressed. I was reminded of the Srimad Bhagavatam, in which we come across Yayati, who was ruler of a large kingdom with all material resources at his command. He married Devyani, daughter of a renowned sage, Sukracharya. According to legend, he was cursed for his infidelity and was made prematurely old and infirm.

When he begged for forgiveness, he was told that if somebody exchanged his youth with his old age, he could regain his youth. When four of his sons declined his request, the fifth and youngest son, aware of the inadequacy and futility of sense enjoyment, agreed to the swap.

Youthful once again, Yayati continued his sense enjoyment spree for one thousand years.

Ultimately, he realised that if sensual enjoyment for a thousand years could not satisfy him, how will this be able to satisfy him in future? On reflection, he realised the futility of material and sensual desires and he made up his mind to leave his kingdom and abjure sense enjoyments.

He told his wife Devyani that even if one got all the material wealth of the world — food grains, gold and precious metals, and cattle — this will not satisfy the greed of even one single person who is driven by desire for sensual cravings.

In modern parlance, it could include money, electronic gadgets, land, shares and all other desirable things. It is true that even if one is given the entire wealth of the world, one will not be satisfied.

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.

FRUITS OF FAITH

Monday 13 January 2012 Fruit of Faith Ralph waldo emerson, wo did so much to bring out the best in so many people, once said that what he,himself, needed most was somebody to bring out the best in him to inspire and encourage him. Self-confidence,even 4 Emersön, seems to grow out of the confidence of other people. If other people think we can,perhaps we can! All of us know how it encourages us just to be around certain friends. They expect great things 4m us and b4 long we expect them,too ourselves. Every worthwhile achivement in life is the fruit of faith-faith in ourselves and faith in our source. Laugh and keep heart attacks away A hearty laugh can give your heart,body and mind a perfect boost and helps you ward off a host of stress induced ailments including heart attacks. Dr.Norman Cousins,professor at University of California, School of Medicine, believed that he cured his disease by taking massive doses of vitamin-C and laughing 4 Hours together. He found that 15 minutes of laughter enabled him to get good sleep. His recovery was remarkable. Laughter interrupts the panic of an illness, and has a definite anasthetic effect. It causes the release of endorphine, they body's natural painkiller. It is significant that our own yoga too lays emphasis on laughter. Laughter,the body's internal jogging results in elimination of stress thus reducing significantly the risk of stress induced diseases, including heart attacks. Dr.William F.Fry, one of the world's leading laughter researchers,has discovered that heart muscles are activated, heart rate increased and and activated,heart rate increase and respiration is amplified with an increase in oxygen exchange during a hearty laugh. The effects of laughter are the same as athletic exercise. Rehabilitation hospitals in New York have introduced "laughing rooms" where patients' family members and staff can relax with a joke book or comedy movies. The international Laughter Society, a California based humour consultancy organisation,puts across this safe idea. So , next time you have a quarrel with your wife or boss don't shout but take a Wodehouse book or watch either Chaplin or Laurel and Hardy in action. Do not take life so seriously. Laugh 10-15 min a day and there will be fewer medical bills. He who laughs,lasts.

Meditation.
No one else can Give up your Sin for you
All your sins and sorrows , your fears and anxieties are your own, and you can cling to them or you can give them up. Of your own accord you cling to your unrest; of your own accord you can come to abiding peace. no one else can give up sin for you, you must give it up yourself. The greatest Teacher can do no more than walk the way of Truth for himself, and point it out to you ; you your self must walk it for yourself. You can obtain freedom and peace alone by your own efforts, by yielding up that which binds the soul, and which is destructive of peace.
Little Courtesies of Everyday
‘Thank you”, ”Please” or Excuse me” are little words. But they can mean much in our day to day activities. They can make all the difference in a man’s career. They are like drops of oil which lubricate many wheels of a creaking machinery.
Businessman and salesman cannot afford to miss them. And ordinary people who miss them, do not look beyond their nose! The present day madness for speed and hurry however, finds these “Daily little courtesies” out of date, old fashioned and perhaps obstacles to progress. Thereby we love goodwill and good dividends.
A businessman finding the change in the flight schedule of his plane for getting home wrote a telegram to his wife keeping that limit to 15 words. The telegraph operator, a woman, looked a it over and asked him, “Are you married to this woman? Started, he answered that he was. “ Then you would better add “LOVE” she suggested. “It cost you just a rupee more and it has a lot of value for the money.”
Little courtesies of everyday can cheer your friends, colleagues and relatives to be happy and merry. When you have some thing nice to say be prompts-and don’t delay.
Because he made every effort to go forward.
Some time ago we heard a strange story. The pilot of a small transport plane said that he had been caught in a one hundred and fifty-mile gale, which held his plane perfectly still. The motors were roaring, he claimed, but the plane was not moving an inch.
“ It was fate,” he concluded, “to be going one hundred and fifty miles and hour and yet not be going anywhere at all!”
Sometimes we seem to be doing something very much like this. No matter how hard we push for ward, we seem to be getting no where at all. Then is the time for us to remember that he who does not try to go ahead is bound to find that he is going back.
If the pilot of the plane ha shut off his motors, he would probably never have lived to tell the story, It was only because he made every effort to go forward that he was even able to stand still!(East and West Series)
All that you are is a result of all that you have thought.
Good words make us laugh; good deeds makes us silent.
Who would love you then?
“Do you love me , dear?”
“Very much!”
“And would you give your life for me?”
“Yes! But who would love you then?”
Will that make it any lighter?
An old man brought a package to the village post office. But the clerk refused to accept it. When is the matter?” asked the old man. “It is to heavy. You will have to put more stamps on it” replied the clerk. The old man was curious “And if I put more stamps on it, will that make it any lighter?” he asked.


Quote from the Essence of The Gita
Every chapter of the Gita is called a yoga. Yoga means to join or to unite. It is a way to unite ourselves with God. The first chapter is called the “Yoga of Despondency”(visada yoga). Why is despondency a yoga? Because the despondency of Arjuna was instrumental in taking him toward God. Hence the name “Yoga of Depnondecy.” In the same way, the other chapter of the Gita have names such as the “Yoga of Knowledge”(samkhya yoga), the “Yoga of Work”(karma yoga), the “Yoga of Renunciation” (sannyasa yoga,) and so on.
Some may say that the Gita was taught only to Arjuna; What significance can it have for us? None of us are going to take apart in any war. Nor do we ordinary people have anything in common with the great warrior Arjuna. How can the teaching given to such a great student be of any benefit to us?
In answered it could be said that although Arjuna was much superior to us, he was also a human being . we too are human beings. Just as he was deluded at times, we too are deluded often. Like him, we to are called upon to face many obstacles and calamities in our quest for truth. Like him again, we too are in the midst of both inner and outer warfare. That is why the study of the Gita holds a message for us; give us peace of mind. And offers solution to the problems of life. Thanks to the study f the Gita , those he had lost their way have shed tears of repentance and have changed their entire life-course and directed it toward high ideals.

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

How to Mange Your Stress?

Monday 18–April- 2011
How to Mange Your Stress?
A lecture was giving a lecture to his students on stress management.
He raised a glass of water and asked the audience, “How heavy do you think this glass of water is?’ The students” answers ranges from 17 to 400 gm.
“It does not matter on this absolute weight . It depends on how long you hold it. If I hold it for a minute , it is O.k If I hold it for an hour. I will have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you will have to call on ambulance. It is exactly the same weight , but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes. “
If we carry our burdens all the time, we will not be able to carry on, the burden becoming increasingly heavier. What you have to do is to put the glass down, rest for a while before holding it up again.
We have to put down the burden periodically, so that we can be refreshed and are able to carry on.
So before you return home from work tonight, put the burden of work down.
Don’t carry it back home. You can pick it up tomorrow. Whatever burdens you are having now on your shoulders, let it down for a moment. Pick it up again later when you have rested . Rest and relax . Life is short enjoy it!
Adversity causes most men to break and a few break records.
True rights comes as a result of duty done.
Steady your mind
Unless you meditate , the mind cannot be controlled, and unless the mind is controlled, you cannot meditate, but if you think. First let me control the mind and then I shall meditate, you will never enter the path of spiritual life, You must do both the same time –steady your mind and meditate. Sri RamKrishna
Small courtesies.
Small acts of kindness, small courtesies, small considerations, habitually practiced in our social intercourse, give greater charm to the character than the display of great talents and accomplishments.
Worker and Craftsman
Whatever you do, you do it with all that you have in you. If you are sleeping , sleep well, if you are playing , play well, if you are working , give the best that is in you, remembering that real satisfaction in life comes not from money and things, but from the realization of a job well done. Therein lies the difference between the worker and a real craftsman.
Habit is a man’s best friend or his worst enemy.
Beautiful Behavior
A beautiful form is better than a beautiful face, beautiful behavior is better than a beautiful form. It is the finest of fine arts.
Formula For Success.
To find a career to which you are adapted by nature, and then to work hard at it, is about as near to a formula for success and happiness as the world provides.
If I win The Argument
One of the most useless things in the world is argument. This is one interaction that always arouses opposition, and rarely secures cooperation.
There is a story about a man who asked to see a good wool cloth , in a clothing store. The clerk produced a wool garment , the customer examined and said, “this looks good, but it does not look like wool to me. I don not believe it is wool.”.
“But you like it?” in quires the salesmen.
“Yes, I like it all right, but do not think it is wool”.
“Shall I wrap it up for you?’
‘Sure , I guess I will take it”.
After the package was wrapped the man said. “Tell me , why did not you argue with me when I told you it was not wool? As a matter of fact, I believe it is wool”
Laugh
“Well , said the salesman. Taking his money, “you see, if I win the argument I lose the sale, so what is the use?”
Since I Was a Puppy
Psychiatrist; “You think you are dog. How long have you been subject to this dangerous imagination?’
Patient; “Ever since I was a puppy”.
All Mankind Minus one
If all mankind minus one, were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, that he; if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind.
Pure in Heart
How can one say that a man has attained purity? –When he sees all men as being good, and when none appear to him to be unclean and defiled-then he is indeed pure in heart.
You can accomplish virtually any goal you set for yourself, as long as the goal is clear and you persist long enough.
Cheerful man
Wondrous is the strength of cheerfulness, and its power of endurance; the cheerful man will do more tin the same time, will do it better will persevere it longer, that the sad or sullen.
Quotes from The Essence of The Gita
The Gita says that depending on the state of our evolution, we judge sense enjoyment and spirituality, active life and detached life, as worthy or unworthy, as something to be achieved or something to be rejected In other words , some feel that the path of spirituality is right and others feel that the pat of sense pleasures is right. Everyone’s karma is not the same; the karma of an ordinary person is limited to his or her won enjoyment and maintenance of the family. Those who have risen to a slightly higher level think of there country , they become anxious with thoughts about how their people can have sufficient food to it, how they can get better education, how they can keep in step with the other nations of the world. Those who have risen still higher worry about how there people can keep to the right path, become self-controlled, treat together with compassion and not become unjust and tyrannical. This is because they realize that the nation wil be destroyed as soon as those evil creep in. The karma of those who have risen higher than this encompasses contemplating on the ways to bring about the lasting welfare of people belonging to all classed, all counties and for all time. The incarnation of God (avatar) belong to this category.

How to Enoy Your Leisure

Monday 13-September- 2010
How to Enjoy Your Leisure
There are some people who are bored by leisure, It seems to them a waste of time.
While others work to live, they live to work and for work. The prospect of retirement fills them with fear and when it inescapable comes, they frequently crack up, simply because they have no idea how to use their leisure. There are others for whom leisure could become a real problem.
Do you get the fullest benefit from your leisure? Do you know how to use it properly?
There are certain simple principles whereby we can make much fuller and more profitable use of our leisure and thy are well worth mastering.
1. Have the firth idea about leisure;
It is important that our attitude towards leisure should be sensible and realistic. Work and leisure are part of the essential rhythm of life and we must accept that basic idea and then make provision for it.
For example some people seem to feel guilty about being found ‘off duty’. Of course, there are the professional work-dodgers whose policy is always to do as little as possible with the least effort to themselves.
But if we are to work effectively, we need leisure. Henry Ford is reputed to have laid that the Model ’A’ Ford would have been in production six months earlier if only he and insisted that his engineers had not worked on Sunday’s! This is simply an indication that working seven days a week made them less effective. A rest day would have restored them and increased their powers of concentration. They worked longer hours but less effectively.
So, let us recognize the apart which leisure has to play in a full life and to see what wrong it is to say that we have no time for rest , relaxation and leisure.
2.Plan to leisure;
Having recognized its importance, we must make definite and systematic provision for leisure. Some jobs make this more difficult than others. A doctor, for example, is liable to be called upon at any time . But this is no reason for not making provision for leisure indeed, a planning of a more careful provisions is all the more necessary.
Planning ahead for a particular occasion and kind of leisure has the effect of giving us some thing to look forward to and this can provide not only an enjoyable time when it arrives but gives that pleasurable anticipation which can have the effect of encouraging us and inspiring us in the midst of what may be other wise unpleasant and difficult tasks.
This is not necessarily to say that leisure time must always be at a precisely arrange time. Of course, for some occasions, it will need to be-theaters and cinemas do not arrange their programmes to suit our whims-but if our job allows it, it is a good thing sometimes to give ourselves an unscheduled break. Depending on circumstances, this may be to slip out for a cup of coffee or to have a half-day off.
3.Be active and creative.
The research why many people are bored with leisure time in that they equate it with idleness . Of course, there an be a place ever for this but it will be the rare occasion , the exception.
A morning in bed or even a cup of tea in bed, ma some times be the very luxury and relaxation we need. But generally speaking , leisure time Is not meant to be sent just moving round the house, unshaven and half-dressed. We need occupation of a positive kind.
Obviously, the exact activities in which we shall engage will very according to individuals. Indeed, once for the interesting things about leisure is the way it often enables us to find ourselves and to develop our real interests.
There is great room for experiment but some kind of creative work is worth trying. It is amazing, for example, the numbers of people who quite late in life have found a capacity to paint or draw and have found immense pleasure and pace in this occupation.
4.Learn to take leisure lightly
It may well be that part of your leisure time you will wish to spend in some serious pursuit-perhaps learning a language so that you can enjoy a holiday abroad more fully or taking some courses which will help you to improve your job.
Such a purpose will, of course, need regular and earnest application. But, in terms of sheer enjoyment, it is a god thing to have leisure time occupation where you do not need to take yourself so seriously.
For example , a game should be a game, but some people make every game a battle! They play as though their very life depended upon it. If it is a game such as bride, they probably make the whole exercise a miserly to their partner-unless he or she happened to be of the same dedicated type!
This same ability not to take oneself too seriously applies also to the kind of creative activity mentioned earlier. If you develop a pleasing skill in some art, all well and good. But do not be too much of a perfectionist. Do not be disappointed and frustrated because your results lack the mark of the professionals craftsman.
Determine not to spoil your pleasures by taking thing too seriously. There is great satisfaction of doing merely as a hobby.
5.Bring variety into you leisure.
To do the same things at the same time week in week out, year in year out is defeating one of the purposes that well spent leisure has-to bring freedom and spontaneity into our life.
Forms of Vinayaka In Different Countries of The world
The last that images of vianyaka (Ganesh), are found outside Indian culture has spread far and wide. Vianayaka is a very popular figure throughout Nepal, Chinese Turkistan, Tibet, Myanmar, Thiland , Indo-China, Java, bali, Norneo,China and Japan practically in the whole of East Asia.
Buddhist and Jains also claim Vianyaka as their God. He was known to the Chinese as well as to the Japanese under two forms one similar to that obtaining in India and the other (double form) two elephant-faced deities (male part and female counterpart) Japanese associated them with romance besides good luck. They call him Kangi-ten, double ganesha . In China He is seen in a rock-cut temple of King-hsein (531 A.D)
In Nepal Vianyak is seen with five faces, all that of elephants. The Javanese conception of Ganehsa in his sitting position is; He is calm. His calmness represents a man in ”Samadhi”
Generally Ganapati is enshrined in small temples and is given a prominent seat at the entrae of temles. But there is a vary big temple mainly dedicated to Him in Pillalaratti near Karaikudi in Tamil Nadu
If you goto sislam in Andhra Pradesh , you can see Vinayak playng a flute just like Krishna-Courtesy Sankara and Shanmata and “Tapovana Prasad”
No gift is more precious then a good advice.
Man’s suffering seems from his own inner attitude towards the outward happenings.
Yesterday is not for you, do it now
If you have hard work to do , do it now. Today the skies are clear and blue. Tomorrow clouds may come in view. Yesterday is not for you. Do it now. If you have a smile to show, show it now. Make harts happy . Let the friends around you know, the love you have for them; show it now. Prakash J . Shah
Everyone wants to succeed in life. Many of us say; “I want to succeed in my life”, Well, it is the expression of a desire to succeed in life. Having a desire is most important. But the desire alone cannot lead on to success. You must set a Goal.
Your ideas must be reinforced by setting a goal and you must prepare a plan to achieve it. Everything we see in the world around began as an idea in somebody’s mind.
A goal is an objective you want to achieve. A plain is a specific way of reaching the goal. Both the goal and plan are ideas in your mind.
You must clearly know what exactly you want. Without knowing the destination there is no use of proceeding on a journey.
There are many goals including money goals in everyone’s life. Thus you must be clear in selecting a realistic goal; it is better to set a goal as; Primary goal, intermediary goal and the goal of your life.
Before you select a goal you should know what talents you possess? What are your assets and strong points. Possibly you may have several talents. Select one in which you can excel.
On knowing and assessing your talents, you should look for an opportunity and find a way to utilise it. By constant effort you can even create an opportunity and work with imagination to achieve your goal.
To know your potential strength, you need to talk to your wise friends and take stock of your abilities and road blocks.
You must discipline your abilities for maximum usefulness to the maximum for a lasting success. The greatest undiscovered resources in the world lies under one’s hat and stands in one’s shoes.
Do not think either you goals or your plans to achieve them as unalterable. Goals are made to be shifted and plans are made to be changed.
While we are discussing about success through goal setting , our mind murmurs about “LUCK”.
Yes ,luck is found at a point where preparation meets opportunity.
Set your goal right now, work with imagination and make your life radiant with success.

How to build up your personal courage?

Monday 6-September- 2010
How to build up your personal courage?
Many people find it difficult to get on with people, to face problems at home and to make friends. They hesitate to accept responsibility because they are afraid they will not be able to perform. They fail at something and it discourages them continuously. They become discouraged and feel inferior. All these are basically a problem of courage.
How does one become a courageous person? Courage is a quality of life that we have to build up. If we want courage sincerely and are prepared to persist, we can gain all the courage we need.
Build up your own self-esteem. You are to be a confident person. Dress as smartly as you can and take the trouble about your appearance. Speak clearly and distinctly.
Begin to fill your mind with positive thoughts. It is easy to fill one’s mind with memories of past failures . Instead recall your past success.
Review regularly the blessings for which you should be thankful –your health, your job, your home, your friends and the beauty of the world.
Stop recollecting a picture of yourself as a defeated person. Instead, think of your victories. Learn to respect yourself, taking pride in your talents. These steps will help to build up the right sort of self-image. After having tackled your mental attitude, the next thing is to learn to understand other people.
Remember that other people are also human beings. The person who seem very important, the people in whose company we seem to lose our confidence are just human beings . the people with whom we come into contact have worries and troubles that we know nothing about . very often their attitude is a cover for lack of courage.
Having begun to build up your own mental attitude, the important step is action.
You must ask yourself ‘What exactly is it that I am afraid of?’ All problems become smaller if you face them. They only seem large when you run away from them.
Having decided on your course of action, you should go ahead and run the risk of making a mistake . courage is the willingness to make a mistake . if you make a mistake you can always learn from it. This is the answer to the problem of fear. Everybody is afraid of something at sometime. The only difference is that courageous people go ahead despite their fear.
You can change your attitudes by changing your physical actions. If it is a job you have to do, go ahead as if it were well within your capacity. If it is a person you are meeting, look him directly in the face and act as though it were a privilege fro him to meet you.
Speak clearly and if you greet people do it with a firm grip. Begin to practice acting boldly and with courage in little things. Act courageously with the very next person you meet speak up and give your point of view in everyday conversation. Insist on getting exactly what you want in a shop and don’t be easily led to buying something else. It is being courageous in little subjects that makes us courageous in big subjects.
Make the following points a daily feature.
Begin the day positively. When you wake up, make an affirmation that reminds you of your worth. Plan you day. If you have work to do, decide in what order it must be done and go steadily ahead. For your leisurelier, plan the activities you wan to take part in. avoid wasting of time.
Select a place at sometimes in the day when you have time to be quiet for few minutes take walk in the garden.
Repeat you affirmation and let you mind dwell upon the wonders of the creation.
Use every opportunity that comes, either in performing work. In meeting people or to act courageously.
You have planned your day which means that you have made yourself the master of the day. You have reminded yourself of your worth. Use every opportunity for putting these ideas into practice.
At the end of the day as you go to rest, make a quick mental review and note the things for which you are thankful and the ways in which life has been good.
If you follow these simple steps, you will find yourself approaching life with a completely new attitude . the courage for which you have waited so long will become a reality.

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.

Punctuality

Monday 23-August 2010
Punctuality –Master Key to Success
To be punctual implies having an acute sense to timing. Failing to do a work at the right time not only results in disappointment, frustration or bitterness, it can also prove disastrous. Sometimes, the damage done can be irreparable. Remember the popular saying . “Time and tide wait for none”. One must there fore, endeavor to live its every moment. And to do so, you must have an acute sense of timing. Time is money Wasting time is inviting failures and frustrations. There is a time for everything.
Punctuality does not call for any special endeavor, technique or planning. It is a way of life. It comes naturally to those who have made it a habit. A habit becomes a routine and what you do in routine is always done efficiently. Punctuality does however, imply regularity, conformity and uniformity.
Punctuality , like all arts, can be cultivated with little effort. All you have to do is to be clear-headed and earnest. This quality can be developed or cultivated fast enough. The harvest is certain quick and rewarding. It is true on the road to life’s journey you have many buses. If you miss the first one you can take the next. But you never know for certain that the next bus will come at the right time. It may be considerably delayed and even then, you can never be certain it will carry you.
By being punctual , you spare yourself the embarrassing queries on arriving at the destination, if accountability is involved. The opportunity missed and time lost or wasted can never be recovered.
If you are punctual, you will never have to face the unpleasant situations like “House Full” signs. You will always find the door open.
As a matter of fact punctuality is inherent in the very scheme of Nature. The sun rises punctually in the east and sets punctually to the west. The seasons, the moon, the stars all follow a strict timetable, don’t they?
It a crop is not sown when it must be, the consequences are too clear to need elaboration. Similarly, if you are careless in harvesting, the outcome may be equally unpleasant.
If we do not do the things at the right time , we are to blame ourselves for the consequences. We must not leave things to chance. We must always endeavor to be punctual.
Life is short. Be swift to love! Make hast to be kind!
Wise words Worth Remembering
Your words will have no effect unless you are able to live up to them.
God never created you to fail in life
Patience always elevates and strengthens our character.
Love is sustained and fulfilled by loving
Within every struggle you evolve a little
There is one ornament common to men and women Forgiveness.
Quote from Bhagwad-Gita
Sattva manifests , O descendant of Bharata over powering Rajas and Tamas; Rajas(manifest) overpowering Sattva and Tamas and like wise Tams (manifest)overpowering Sattva and Rajas.
Strange definition
Journalist; A man who announces the death of Lord So and So to people who never knew when he was alive.
Reader; A person whose TV is at the repair shop
Psychiatrist; One who does not have to worry as long as other people do.
Woman. ; A problem which most men like to wrestle with.
Effects of our actions are never lost
The effects of our actions may be postponed but they are never lost. There is an inevitable reward for good deeds and an inescapable good deeds and an inescapable punishment for bad. Meditate upon this truth and seek always to earn good wags from destiny

Cheerful Temper Lightens Sickness

Monday 1st –February- 2010
Cheerful Temper Lightens Sickness
What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity. They are but trifles, to be sure, but, scattered along life’s pathway, the good they do is great. A cheerful temper joined with innocence will make beauty attractive, knowledge delightful, and wit good natured. It will lighten sickness, poverty, and affliction, convert ignorance into simplicity and render deformity agreeable
More insects then people in the world.
Scientists estimate that in every square mile(2.6 sq km) of land, there are as many insects as there are people in the whole world. (Velayudhan Featured)
We drink mineral water!
The medical officer was testing the water supply to the camp. “What precautions do you take against infection?’ he asked the sergeant in charge.
“Well we boil it first, sir,” the sergeant replied “Good”, “Then we filter it.” “Excellent”.” And then,” said the sergeant, “Just for safety sake, we drink mineral water in the bottle!”
Three Stages In Life
There are three stages in each person’s life. When one was young people said, “He will do something “. As he grew older and did nothings, they said, “He could do something in he found himself”. When he was white-haired, people said of him. “He might have done something if he had tried”.
An idea lives on
A man may die, nations may rise and fall, but an idea lives on ideas have endurance without death. .
Quote From Gita
We have to cultivate a yogi’s calmness in the intoxicating battle of life. We must learn to protect ourselves from the reaction which inevitably follows every work we do. Then alone will we be capable of doing something really great and be fit to be called human beings. It is not necessary to explain how often the intoxication of desire-propelled work leads to painful results. How many people sink to the depths of misery because of loss in trade and commerce and are unable to rise again! There are children who destroy their health in their maddened struggle to pass some test. Time and again we even see students commit suicide when they are not able to pass an examination in spite of their best efforts.
It is essential for all-particularly for those with secular responsibilities-to learn how to bring calmness in the midst of the intoxication of work . For these people the only means of progress in all matters, secular and spiritual, is work and work alone. There is no need to imagine that we shall lose our enthusiasm for work we learn how to work calmly; this is proven by Sri Krishna’s life.
Compare the teachings of the Gita with Sri Krishna’s entire life and you will see not one iota of discrepancy. Although he never works for himself, his enthusiasm for work surpassed the enthusiasm of all others put together. See him while playing in Vrindaban; see him in the royal courts of Mathur and Dwaraks; see him at the time of the Yadus’ destruction; see him on the battlefield of the Kauravas and the Pandavas; everywhere we see in his heart an extraordinary calmness and peace along with tremendous enthusiasm for work.
Life Requires Humility
A great professor who had mastered all the branches of learning decided he needed time to relax. He hired a boatman to take him to a nearby island. As the boatman to take him to a nearby island. As the boatman rowed away from shore, the professor asked him what kind of education he had received.
“My father was a poor man”, the boatman said, ‘and could not afford to send me to school. I can not read or write. I am just a simple boatman.”
“That is a shame!” the professor said jokingly,”Hall your life has been wasted.”
A few minutes later, as they reached the middle of the channel, a storm blew up and threatened to upset the boat.
“Master, you must jump over board,” the boatman said, “and swim for your life.”
“I cannot”, the professor replied, “I never learned how to swim.”
“That is a shame!” the boatman replied, “Your whole life has been wasted. You will surely drown.”
Lie requires humility , not specialized knowledge or achievements. Courtesy wisdom

Fortify Your English

Fortify Your English
We often hear, especially during grand occasions, ‘roll out the red carpet’ or ‘red carpet’ reception. It is something that people do when they wish to give a regal reception to someone special. This is a way of giving a special welcome. We often hear of ‘red carpet’ treatment in the same sense. Probably this idiom originated from the practice of olden days when kings and Queens and other from royal households were received with a red carpet rolled out on which they trod. We often see a similar practice when heads of state, actors, sports man and other high achievers are received. What ever may be the origin, it , is indeed, regal when someone rolls out a red carpet for you.
‘Cavat’- pronounced ‘Ka-vi-at’ is quite a formal usage. It means warning or caution. It means warning or caution. It originates from the Latin ‘Cavere’ which means ‘Let him beware’. It is very frequently used in the legal context. In the context of law means ‘ a formal notice to suspend action until the party that filed the action can be heard’.
Example; Sushman can go ahead with her work, but with certain Caveats.
Opportunities in Life
Your success in life does into altogether depend on ability and training; it also depends on your determination to grasp opportunities that are presented to you. Opportunities in life come by creation, not by chance.
Fewest Possible Words
Say all you have to say in the fewest possible words, or your reader will be sure to skip them; and in the plainest possible words, or he will certainly misunderstand them.
Life
Life is made of small jumps over great obstacles. It is in the courage of getting through them that makes life challenging and exciting.
A really honest executive is one who is willing to share the credit with the person who did the work.
Knowledge is man’s highest acquisition. It is a life long friend and a safest guide in life.
Do you know
They rosy-cheeked, pot-bellied, bearded Santa Claus we are familiar with was the creation of American Cartoonist Thomas Nash who published the drawing shown in ‘Harper’s Weekly’ in 1881.
Come! Let Us Celebrate!
Stretching sound is music.
Stretching movement is Dance
Stretching smile is laughter
Stretching mind is mediation
Stretching feelings is ecstasy
Stretching emptiness is bliss
Stretching life is celebration.
The best advice is usually worthless-the wise do not need it, and the foolish will not heed it.
Knowledge is men’s highest acquisition. It is a lifelong friend and a safest guide in life.
Quote from Gita
Suppose some people want to earn money in order to use it for the good of their country. In the beginning this feeling is quite strong . But when money comes to their hands, they get attached to it. Gradually the greed for wealth makes them forget the purpose they started out with and their won enjoyment or wealth itself becomes their new goal in life. That is why the goal has to be kept intact. It wont do to keep an eye on one’s gain. This is what Karma Yoga means. Who can practice this yoga? Only those who have control over themselves, who have their senses under control, whose goal in life is steady , and who work like masters and not like slaves. When the goal is reached they know that their work is over and they withdraw from work.

Home –A Center of Love And Understating

Monday 11-January 2010

Home is a centre for understanding, leading to success, health and happiness, Healthy growth of every member of a family depends on mutual understanding tolerance and avoidance of friction.
All of us seek happiness but most of us do not realize that home is the centre to remain happy and make others happy. Effective relationship with every member of the family is the result of peaceful environment maintained through constant dialogue, necessary correction in understanding whenever needed.
If your family is moving in the right direction, you would be able to perform your work peacefully and gracefully. That is the inseparable relationship between life at home and work at office. When the mind is disturbed at home, the work at office suffers and vice versa. It is , therefore, very important to maintain peaceful atmosphere both at home and office. One has to work effectively to promote healthy culture at both places.
It is better for the family members to get together once a day preferably at the same time. It helps very much, if the members of the family eat together or pray together once a day. Is it not true that a family which prays together stays together?
Sparing time for children is as important as any other aspect of life. Growing children, particularly teenagers, do need guidance and love. They should also be carefully about the friends they make, the movies they see and the books they read. Elders should take them into confidence, understand their problems and try to solve them. With love and compassion. They do need guidance to avoid possible pitfalls or mistakes leading to serious results. They will help youngsters to think, understand and lead life in the right direction.
Between husband and wife., there should be a loyal and dependable understanding. Each one should endeavour to sustain the healthy values and principles of his or her spouse leading to peace progress and success. It is said that happy family is the result of loving heart and attitude of tolerance. This relationship must be nurtured at all stages of life. Both the spouses must communicate with each other and solve problems mutually. They have to complete the task cheerfully maintaining the dignity , discipline in the family.
One has to clearly explain his or her position with love and clarity. With willingness to communicate, understand the viewpoint of the spouse, any problem can be solved in a short time. One has to take care of the physical, mental and social needs of the spouse. It is also necessary to sustain values and respect will surely lead to purposeful, peaceful, healthy and happy environment at home and office. (Courtesy Wisdom)
Imitation is human, creation is Divine-
Imagination is more important than knowledge
A merry heart maekth a cheerful countenance.
Education
Education is not how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know. It is being able to differentiate between what you do know and what you don’t
Be civil to all; sociable to many; familiar with few; friend to one; enemy to none.
Doing good to others is not a duty. It is a joy for it increases your own health and happiness.
It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.

Quote from Gita
It is said that Sri Krishna gave to Duryodhas eleven units of his army before the battle started. Duryadhana thought, “ I could not get Sri Krishna on my side. Well , what does it matter? His energy cannot equal the energy of eleven army units!” But just the opposite proved to be true in the battlefield. Sri Krishna’s energy and perseverance, his infinitely resourceful power in moments of crisis, his fiery and energizing words in the darkness of utter dependency, and his uncommon cheerfulness and tranquil mind in the shadow of death and in the midst of the defeat of his own people-al these qualities made him as powerful as al the great warriors from both sides put together what to speak of eleven of his own army units!
George Harrison
I think people who can truly live a life in music are telling the world . “you can have my love, you can have my smiles. Forget the bad pars, you don’t need them. Just take the music, the goodness, because It’s the very best, and it’s the part I give”.

Enrich your Life

Monday 4-January 2010
Enrich your Life
Once an individual determines that he wants a new way of life, then he has turned the key to unlock the secret door to success. Here are ten vital points for brining about a radical change in one’s life and for enriching oneself with ethical and spiritual values:
1. Develop a keen desire to become better mentally and physically. Sustain and intensify your desire by concentrated effort. The will to change must be sustained day by day.
2. Review your life. See the errors of the past, and learn lessons from them. Then put the past behind. There is no need for constantly looking back and feeling sorry over what is gone.
3. Determine what is your ideal. What kind of personality do you want to become? Ideally you should seek for perfection and purity. However, this cannot be accomplished overnight.
4. A power of observation and a keen sense of objectivity these are the ingredients for avoiding the offensive qualities that are playing humanity today. Wage war against the petty qualities of all-consuming jealousy, greed for money, the gossiping habit, and intense hatred.
5. Bitterness is one of the greatest obstacles to becoming better in body, mind and spirit. In a secret manner it spreads into every part of one’s personality. Bitterness develops when one’s cherished desires are prevented. It is enhanced by the recollection of sorrowful events of the past. A bitter memory must be checked by asserting; “What was before is gone and cannot be redone. But I am the architect of my destiny. Let me handle the present situation, and build a golden future”.
6. In order to make a sweeping change in your life you should entertain a new current of thought. Let a new philosophical outlook emerge out of the ashes from the ruins of the past. Allow the sweet breeze of spring to blow across your mind.
7. Read aloud any inspiring passage from your favorite scripture for few minutes every day. Listen to your voice. As the days pass by you will find more and more comfort and strength from these readings.
8. Write on your mirror each morning the virtue you will try to highlight for the day. If it is selflessness, try to observer your mind during the day. Set apart of least and hour for rendering selfless service to others. Next day write another virtue on the mirror. Thus each day will be challenge for you. Gradually you will develop a keen and alert intellect an intellect that is sensitive to the feelings and difficulties of others. Be aware of your deeper Self. You will discover unexpected happiness from within yourself. Your ego will reduce automatically.
9. Prayer never goes in vain. Rather, every prayer creates a subtle potency. It draws to you the positive elements that are needed for the unfoldment of your spirit . you begin to enjoy a new kind of happiness, and an unusual peace. Prayer leads you on to the amazing heights of spiritual glory.
10. Lastly, but not lesser in importance , is the fact that everyone should have a spiritual guide-a guru. If this is not possible, one should be guided by the spiritual literature written the cave of your heart, there abides God. Whose is guiding you constantly towards the realms of calmness , peace, beyond human expectations, and bliss that is boundless.
Nothing can be achieved without discipline and simplicity. Be persistanent in your effort. You are bound to realize your goal.
May God grant you the strength for constant self-effort leading you to the Spring of Eternal Life! –Courtesy ; “ International Yoga Guide.”

If your purpose is right and you are persistent even God will come to your help
For today, if you keep God by your side, there is nothing that will come into your life , that you won’t be able to handle.
Spent your time in pushing yourself up, not in pulling others down.
Love the people who treat you right. Pray for the ones who don’t .
We must be convinced that rights are deserved only by the discharge of obligation.
A good kick to the bucket
“Why do you come with an empty bucket? You should have got milk from the cow”, the farmer asked his servant. “Of course, she gave four liters of mild and a good kick to the bucket”.
One our of every ten
Visistor; How many people work here?
Employer ; Oh, one out of every ten.
Quote from Gita- Karma Yoga is simply the “art of doing worked.’ Work can be done with such skill that we don’t get entangled in it. We can then work independently with our own will. What do we need to do in order to work like that? We must not keep an eye on our own gain. Wherever there is self-interest, there is desire for results and that leads to attachment. We must work but we must also take to attachment. We must work but we must also take care to see that we are not “being worked.” In any case, we have to work. We have to take care of our parents. If we are married we have to maintain the family. We have a duty to the society in which we live, to the nation into which we are born and to entire humanity in general . the scriptures say that we are born in this world with three debts; a debt to the god(deva-rna), debt to the teachers(rsi-rna) and debt to our ancestors (pitra-raa).
Work is unavoidable. But we should, as Sri Ramkrishna said, work like a maid in the house of a rich person. She does all the work there. She also baby-sits the children; she is happy in their joy and in their suffering But in her heart of heart she knows that she doesn’t belong to them and the family may discontinue her service at any time they wish . we too must live in the world in the same way.
