Monday, 19, March 2012 Today I can complain because the weather is rainy or I can be thankful that the grass is getting watered for free. Today I can feel sad that I don’t have more money or I can be glad that my finances encourage me to plan my purchases wisely and guide me away from waste. Today I can grumble about my health or I can rejoice that I am alive. Today I can cry because roses have thorns or I can celebrate the fact that thorns have roses . Today I can mourn my lack of friends or I can excitedly embark on a guest to find new relationships . Today I can complain because I have to go to work or I can shout for joy because I have a job to do. Today stretches ahead of me, waiting to be shaped . And here I am, the sculptor who gets to do the shaping . what today will be like, is up to me. I have to choose what kind of day I will have! Common Mistakes of Man The delusion that personal gain is made by crushing others, the tendency to worry about things that cannot be changed or corrected, insisting that thing is impossible because we cannot accomplish it, refusing to set aside trivial differences, neglecting development and refinement of the mind, and not acquiring the habit of reading and study, attempting to compel others to believe and live as we do are the common mistakes of man. Let us Learn A lesson From The geese Have you ever wondered why migrating gees fly in a V formation? As with most animal behaviour , God had a good reason for including that in their instincts. As each bird flaps its winds it crest uplift for the bird following. In a V formation, the whole flock adds at least 71% more flying range than if each bird flew alone. Whenever a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the darg of trying to fly, so , it is quickly gets back into formation. Like geese, people who share a common direction and sense of community can get where they are going, quicker and easier than those who try to do it alone. When a leading goose gets tired, it slides back in the formation and another goose flies ahead in that position. If people had as much sense as geese, they would realize that ultimately their success depends on working as team taking turns in doing the hard tasks, and sharing leadership. Geese in the rear of the formation make a typical honking sounds to encourage those in front to increase their speed. It is important that such honking from behind be outraging. When a goose gets sick or wounded two other geese drop out of formatin and follow it down to help and provide protection. They stay with the unhealthy member of the flock until is either able to fly aging or dies. Then they fly out again with another passing flock or try to catch up with their own. May we be so sacrificial, that we may be worthy of such friends in our time of need. You don’t have to be a scientist to learn from God’s marvellous creation; you only need to stop long enough to observe and let God reveal His wonder to you Keep the Promises You make to Others. By keeping our promises , we win influence with others. We should never make a promise we will not keep . we can be very selective about the promises we make. Our ability to make and keep promises is one measure of faith in ourselves. Quote from The true charm and power of Vedanta In each of us there are two tendencies =the centrifugal and the centripetal. The one drives us toward external objects , the other draws us inward. The one scatters out energies and wakens us, the other helps us to centralize them and makes us strong. When through the power of concentration we are able to subdue all our various disturbing thoughts and desires, then we get the vision of Supreme Self seated on the altar of our hearts. Then alone all crookedness will be straightened out and all doubts about the Self will vanish forever. We shall be supremely blissful, knowing that we and the Father are one. But, if He exists? I drive joy There was a doctor in Benaras who spent 7 minutes in themorning 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.

Promition

Monday 15 November 2010
Promotion Gives Boundless Joy
Promotion is a fascinating word. It brings sometimes boundless joy to individuals. A school-going student receives a letter at the fag end of the year from his headmaster stating that he has been promoted to the next higher class. He feels immensely gratified with the result and says to himself that his year-long effort has brome fruit.
Promotion enhances the self-esteem of an individual .man is a social animal and he flourishes with promotions and praises that come his way at different stages in his life.
Student becomes an adult, arms himself with degrees and diplomas and entrees one day into the job market. He strains every nerve to go up the hierarchy in the organization he works for. It is all done to build up his-self esteem.
Promotion extends to his family life too. As educational qualification is important for getting a job, job becomes an indispensable criterion for marriage. The adult enters into matrimony and gets promotions as father, grandfather and so on.
Life devoid of promotions has no charm at all. Yet they (promotions) are not offered on a plate. One has to work for them and must show diligence and endless energy to achieve them. The higher the inputs (hard work, dedication, perseverance etc) the better the promotions possibilities in one’s life. It is genuine to quote Longfellow here. “Learn to labour and wait with God above and heart within.”
How to Give Up Bad Habits
A good habit is a form of learned, automatic behavious that provides pleasure and comfort. A bad habit has long-term negative trait, but still it gives comfort immediately and under stress, the automatic tendency is to revert to it.
To permanently rid yourself of a bad habit, you have to unlearn behavioral patterns and replace them with new ones that provide gratification. That sounds difficult but with practice and persistence it can be done.
It matters little what habit the person is fighting with. The relapse rate remains similar whether the bad habit is drinking, smoking , gambling overeating, compulsive shopping or overworking. Perhaps a strategic plan can help to quite the bad habit.
Plan ahead; Face it; Sometimes after swearing off, you will be tempted to light a cigarette or take a drink. The urge is normal, inevitable, and may come unpredictably. These urges are like ocean waves. Like the waves, the urge normally subsides soon. When such an urge hits you like a wave, you have to keep yourself busy, not letting your mind go back to it. Plant to go for a walk, do exercise, gardening, or talk to someone. You must adopt techniques to relieve yourself from a stressful situation by diverting your mind.
Formation and rehearsing of new habit certainly help you. Set up substitute activities. One way to choose substitute activities is to recognize what attracted you to the old habit. If you drank because it calmed you down. Try meditation. If cigarettes gave you something to do with your hands, learn to knit or play a musical instrument.
Enlist your family and friends when you attempt to keep away from a bad habit and would like to see that it does not relapse. You need the support of your near and dear. Talk to them freely. Tell them that you want to do away with the bad habit, and request them to bear with you incase you burst out at them. They would certainly like to see you through it.
Skip high risk situations –skip tempting social situations, if overeating and drinking are your problems. Try to avoid companions who always force you into doing something harmful to your health.
Set realistic goals.: After a strong resolve to abstain from a bad habit, the amount you spend on that also accumulates. Tell yourself that from the money thus saved, you would buy something useful to you and your family. Moreover , whenever you resist temptation, pat yourself and buy a nice dress for yourself or someone you love most. This is a process of subduing the urge to relapse with some substitute rewards.
Above all, don’t get discouraged. Few people are experienced at changing behaviour, and it is unrealistic to expect success the first time you try out. It is said that Mark Twain, a dedicated cigar smoker, once observed, “I can give it up whenever I want to. I have done it a thousand times”. You can probably improve on Twain’s record, but it may indeed take several trials before quitting. But keep trying till you succeed.
Quote from the essence of Bhagvad Gita
Reading the Gita, we can almost visualize Sri Krishna saying something like this;” O Arjuna, don’t think that Karma Yoga ia a new path. Like the paths of knowledge and devotions, this path too has taken people to the highest goal since very ancient times. Well known philosopher-kings like Janaka and others have attained perfection by following this path. This is true, in particular, about the kings. I first taught Krama yoga to the sun. He then imparted it to his son Manu, and Manu taught it to ikshvaku. In this way and for the happiness of the many, it was practiced by the powerful royal families who faithfully performed their duties.

The critics were silenced. –Baba- Chinna Katha

Meditation –Essential For Success.

Monday 8 November 2010
Meditation –Essential For Success.
Within the heat of each one of us are dark corners. Let us pray to the Lord to enlighten them, to pour into them sunbeams of His Wisdom.
As a rule angry people do not last long. Be patient with them. Sunbeams of His Wisdom
As a rule anger people do not last long. Be patient with them. Take care of your fancies and imagining. They have shaping power. What you imagine today determines what you will be tomorrow!
A Chinese proverb tells us that an inch of time is an inch of gold. And yet is not time more precious than gold? You can hoard gold. You cannot hoard time. You can lend or borrow gold. You cannot lend or borrow time. And you cannot tell how much time is left to you.
How long will you continue to wander after the shadow shapes of pleasures, possessions, power? Each passing day draws you closer to the moment when you will have to fold your tent and move on!
For success-Spiritual or Temporal-Mediataion, Concentration is essential . the mind must not stay. Mental energy must not be wasted . it is help to pick up a good thought and let the mind dwell on it continuously. Gradually, the mind will acquire the habit of concentration
Debates and endless discussions cannot prove the truth of life. Only experience can. You know whether the shoe fits you, only by wearing it!
Hand yourself over in child like trust to the Lord!” I know of no teaching more practical than this. To be child-like, you must take delight in the simple things of life. You must be frank, open honest. You must not hide your feeling, nor be afraid to admit . “I don’t know!”
If you have taken a noble task in hand, you must never give-up. You must keep on trying even though the times are trying. (Courtesy Better Lives)
Stress Busters
You cannot smooth out the surf, but you can learn to ride the waves.
Life consists of ups and downs. Rather than trying to avoid all negative feelings, learn to accept down times as a normal part of life and become skilled at dealing with those feelings in a healthy way.
Try to avoid or at least spend less time with people who are constantly angry, pessimistic, frightening or critical. If any of these people are in you remediate family, recognize that you cannot change them, but you can work on setting limits and boundaries to reduce the number and frequency of stressful interactions.
A research study at Philadelphia St. Joseph University ahs shown that writing about problems and possible solutions may improve both physical and psychological health Try writing about whatever is currently causing you the most stress, inkling you r honest feelings about t it. When you have finished either keep what you have written to refer to later or tear up the paper and throw it away.
Do not let yourself be pushed into making important decisions without enough thought. You may be asking for trouble by not taking the time necessary to consider the potential results of your choices.
Quote from The essence of The Gita
The scriptures also ask us to remember that the authenticity of our spiritual experience is confirmed if they tally with the etchings, received from the scriptures and the spiritual teacher. Sukadeva ws said to have been born with supreme knowledge. Even then, until he was able to tally his won realization with what he had learnt from the scriptures and his teachers, he occasionally fell into spells of doubt about genuineness of his spiritual experiences.

Critical Thinking

Monday 1 November 2010
Importance of Critical Thinking
Now a days, most of have developed herd mentality. This has grown into so strong a habit that is deeply ingrained in our lives. Even the things we buy, we routinely buy what our friends, relatives recommend; even the advertisements influence us. For whatever we do, we seek approval of others or simply do what others do. Our values , our assumptions, infect, everything we do and hold are done without ever questioning.
What is wanting is out of-the-box thinking, original thought and critical analysis. Just imagine for a moment, how much more efficient we could become if we apply critical thinking. When we do so right through our routine takes to making important decisions, we can come to more logical conclusions and mange ourselves better.
Critical thinking requires taking charge of our thought process. It involves rational analysis, dispassionate evaluation and prudence t judge. Emotion hampers reason. So we must rely on reason, for it fosters open-mindedness, discipline and better judgment. When we attain this state of mind, we gain enriched communication and self-expression. Among children. It fosters remarkable learning and retention abilities. As it also involves new thought process, it gives way to creativity too. In real life situations we waver between creative thinking and critical analysis when we explore solutions to our problems. In such situations it helps us split complex problems enabling us to solve them step by step. So critical thinking skills are essential for all effective panning, problem solving and decision making process.

In day to day life you have several opportunities to make life pleasant or unpleasant . with a clam mind, cheerful disposition and a loving heart, you can make your surroundings joyful and make the people you move with relax and be at peace. The effect of every actions shaped you.
You can sweeten your life and the lives of people around you with simple acts of courtesy. As the head of an institution you can make it a heaven by being pleasant, cheerful and loving . You meet your colleagues, assistants, customers and friends. How many times you ‘smiled’ at them? How many times you said morning?’
How many times you said “Thank you’ for small acts of efficiently? How many times you said ‘sorry’ for the mistake you have committed? How many times you said ‘pardon me when you spoke in an angry mood and later realized your mistake?
You can sweeten your life, when you are less selfish and more selfless, when you are in the habit of going instead of receiving, when you play a game with a handicapped person, when you write a letter for a sick person in hospital.
Everyday from dawn to dusk there will be a host of opportunities for you to express concern for others problems, to extend a helping hand and to speak a word of consolation.

Your life becomes sweet when you are dependable, honest, keep us promises, help others without expecting anything in return.
Can you not afford to extend these simple courtesies and render you life and lives of others sweet now and for ever?
Quote from the essence of Gita
Unless we practice them in our daily lives, it is immaterial whether we have heard scriptural teachings or not. The truth has to be realized Knowledge and devotion are to be practiced in life. To make progress, al three knowledge, devotion and mediation-are essential. A bird cannot fly unless it has two wings and a tail. In the same way, without these three –knowledge, devotion and mediations our progress is settled. If the mind of a devotee is without knowledge and the capacity to think deeply it rises high during the time of devotional singing only to fall into sensual temptations when the singing ends it becomes impossible then to control the mind which lacks the power to think rationally. At such times, knowledge and mediation are helpful to keep one’s balance. The mind must be controlled. The power to do so is within us.

Good Manners Bring Happiness
There are important aspects behind al god manners; custom, consideration and common sense. Custom is the way of doing certain things like saying ’Namaste’ or touching feet with respect. Consideration is the most important idea behind all good manners. By being considerate, you appreciate other’s feelings. Besides, all good manners have in them elements for common sense too. For example , pushing your way through a crowd, for an out of turn favour, is definitely bad manners.
Children’s rivalry is there in almost all families. It could be tackled only through good manners. And in order to instill good manners among our children, we must lead by example. Here are a fee tips.
Be appreciative of individual’s abilities and strengths. Do not discuss the weakness of a family members with outsiders.
All family discussions should be participative with mutual appreciation and respect.
Out of three principal meals of a day, all should eat together at least twice, preferably switching off the TV and helping each other in serving.
Mutual tolerance is very important in family life. Learn to adjust with others. For example do not make an issue over the TV channel preference.
Respect other’s privacy. For example , do not read other’s letters and diaries. Do not open a closed door without knocking and seeking permission to enter.
Be polite with callers, while taking telephone calls meant for others . In case of absence of the family member, write down caller’s name , phone number, time of call and message.

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 drawings in preparation for a large painting or sculpture but some famous artists make drawings that stand by themselves. Several techniques are used in drawing . some artists faithfully copy what they see; others sketch only outlines. Some others give an exaggerated version of a 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 complete story with only a few lies of their sketches.
Commercial artists frequently use drawing techniques to make posters, newspaper or magazine advertisements or similar materials. A specialized skill is medical or scientific illustration which involves drawing 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 a tools and machines with their inside parts that would not be ordinarily seen. In such pictures. The designer’s ideas are clear to the craftsmen who will build the devices.
Architectural drafting’s use similar principles I the building construction Industry . both mechanical and architectural drawings are some times called blue prints because the machines that copies them uses blue ink.
Historically, the art of drawing can be traced back to the earliest records of an. Some Cave art is in the form of drawings.
Ancient Chinese used ink and brushes for their famous line drawing on scrolls and decorations. They and the Japanese still draw in this way today . several artists of the 16th 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 panned their major works.
Today the art of drawing has been widely accepted .Drawings are the first expression of the artist’s vision.
Strength of A Country
Nothing is of more importance of the public welfare than to form the train up youth in wisdom and virtue. Wise and good men are in my opinion the strength of a state far more than riches or arms.
Greatest Asset!
I wonder if the human touch, which people have, is not one of the greatest assets that you can have. You meet some people , and immediately you feel their warmth of mind or heart. You need a book, sit before the performance of a fine actor, or read a poem- and there it is – something that streams into your consciousness.. Those who keep climbing higher, in their chosen work, all have this outstanding quality. Without this human touch, hope has little on which to feed or thrives.
Quote from The Essence of the Gita
A ripe fruit falls down from a tree, a stone which has been tossed up falls down to the ground, a person doesn’t continue to rise in space by jumping up-so long as we do not perceive thee facts as manifestations of one force, they do not help us much on the path of knowledge. But no sooner do we understand that it is all due to one forces called gravitation than our knowledge increases rapidly. We are able to collect diverse phenomenon’s into one stream. This is too well known to need elaborations. This kind of classification of different things and experiences into separate groups is called knowledge.

Find The World Within You

Monday 18-October 2010
Find The World Within You
Sometimes we face an amusing question; Where do we belong? Before we go in quest of an answer, we must realize that we belong to ourselves. That island can be as barren as rocks on the moon or as fruitful as an orchard or a beautiful countryside. It is within us to make of ourselves what we want to be-creatively, not destructively. You train for your goals, but they must be realistic, not dreams beyond your reach.
During moments of stress and tension, we can take a vacation. We can take this vacation every day for a few moments and it costs nothing the daily vacation is within you, in the room of your mind. Go on this vacation when pressures are great. Relax for a few minutes, let go of the tension, renew your energies for the problems before you.
Isn’t it wonderful to be an island within yourself briefly? But you do not stay that way. You belong to yourself, no doubt, but you also belong to world. Happiness lies within the world, not totally within yourself. Prepare yourself to create a perfect rhythm between these two. You realize that you need the help of others as they need yours. Man reaches his true big self when he shares his success and his big self with others. He shares his courage with others when times are tough, when there is pressure. He stands up for himself and for others, turning a crisis into an opportunity . The world is full of crises, and we are here to help each other rise above them, to reach fulfillment, and sooner or later, the common benefit of Man.
Health Hazard
Weekends we go on a “clean home” drive . We thin of cobwebs , kitchen cabinets, toilets, etc. very few of us think of the computers. According to a new research, the PC’s Keyboard could be dirtier that even the toilet covers. They are said to be home t millions of bacteria , which can lead to diarrhea and vomiting.
The researchers found a host of bugs, including E collie and Staphylococcus areas, which can trigger skin infection. Such bacteria can put the user at risk. Most people don’t give a thought to such grime that builds on Pc.
The researchers pointed out that the PC must be cleaned often. One of the main causes for such harmful bugs or bacteria could be the habit of munching snacks at the computer desk. The food crumbs would fall into the keyboard and encourage the growth of bacteria. Poor personal hygiene and dust that traps moisture also provide an growth. According to Professor Hugh Pennington, .Scottish Microbiologist, personal hygiene is at the root of the problems.
So take care of yourself and your computer.
Personal Commitment Pays
Unfortunately, so many people have dreamed so long. They actually don’t even know what they want any longer. You have got to stir up the dream inside yourself. Your dreams and your destiny are not determined by ‘chance’ but by ‘choice’.
You can have anything in life you want… if you know hat you want! It seems , a young boy asked his grandfather, “would you tell me, please , which way I ought to go from here?” The old man answered, “that depends a great del on where you want to go”. The boy said .”Oh, I don’t much care.” The old man answered, “Then it really does not mater which way you go”, ?Which way do you want your life to god? What do you want? It is your choice! You are in control. Quite blaming others for your disappointments! Make quality decisions to get up and get going! Life goes on ! Renew your personal commitment to life. Renew your dreams . renew your vision. Don’t let time or circumstances keep you from turning you life around. It is your choice.
You must have a vision! Helen Keller once said. “The only thing worse than not having sight is not having vision”.
Ancient Scripture says without a vision people perish !if you don’t know where you are going, how will you know when you get there?
Your vision must be effective, clear, and inspiring to be valid.
Eleanor Roosevelt once said, “the future belong to those who believe in the beauty of there dreams’ Never let anybody steal your dream or vision!
Life’s result are not by chance but by choice.(Source; ‘Cosmo)
Quote from Essence of the Gita
The kind of calmness should be cultivated by all. A kind of intoxication entrees into us when we work. That is bad. We lose command of ourselves. It is work that goads us on and it is the senses that drive us on. the boss surrenders at the feet of the servant and the puffed up servant treats the boss any way he life’s!
In the battle f daily life and at the workplace, we should always be calm. That is why the teachings of the Gita are not only for monastic. Nor are they only for the married. They are relevant to all people of all nations and for all times. That is why another name for the Gita is the “Gitopanishads’.The special characteristic of the wisdom and teachings of the Upanishads is there universality. After showing different paths suitable to the various types of students, the sages of the Upanishads proclaim boldly “ You are heirs to immortality . Immortality is your nature. Through delusion you may imagine yourself to e a noble person, a barbarian, a priest or a laborer. But none of these identities can bind you . you are free , you are free. You are eternally free. ‘Only after seen the Gita’s universal spirit did the author of the “Glory of the gita “(Gita Mahtmay) declare that the Gita was produced by churning the Upanishads.

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.
Quote from Bhagavad-Gita . It is mete, O Hrishikesa (Krishna) that by Your glorification the world gets delighted and attracted (towards You) , the demons , getting frightened, run in all directions, and all the hosts of perfected beings bow down to You.

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

Failure –A stepping stone to success

Monday 30-August 2010
Failure –A stepping stone to success
Just as light is followed by darkness failure and success follow one another . they represent the two sides of the same coin. Just as success in reaching our goal should not make us proud, an attitude of hopelessness should be given up in the wake of failure because failure is a stepping stone to success.
It sis widely said that diamond cannot be polished without friction and a man cannot be made perfect without trials. Lives of all great man cannot be made perfect without trials. Lives of all great men remind us that fame and glory are gained only by overcoming failures and setbacks. Failure should be looked upon as the lubricating oil that drives the machinery of human action to greater heights.
To feel proud at success and to remain sorrowful at failure are the indications of our inability to control our mind. Calmness and a sense of understanding are necessary in both the conditions.
Success and glory never merit the lazy. In the wake of failure, think in a positive way and have faith in yourself and success will be yours.
In short failure is not final and success is not everlasting. so always give your best success will be there at your doorsteps.
Recognize your achievements.
Even the most successful mean might have made some mistake on there way to fame . however , what sets these men apart, is that they were so busy getting ahead that they had not tome to was on self-pity or regret. They did not even spend their energy devising ways of avoiding more pitfalls. Instead , they continued boldly, trying again and again regardless of the risks involved.
For example;
Consider, what happens to the driver of a car, who watches on the ditches he wants to avoid, instead of keeping his eye on his road? The answer is-he lands up in a ditch!
Better alternative;
Be concerned with what you want, rather than what you do not want! By all means admit your mistakes but this should only indicate a willingness to go ahead and not to waste your precious time thinking about your past mistakes.
Concentrate instead, on your achievements which you did well in the past and which give you a feeling of pride!
Be a winner;
It is false modesty that you must admit failures. On the other hand. You might as well admit your achievements.
And in recognizing you achievements, you will meet, a most interesting and increasingly successful stranger, that is You!
Rich without money
There are some people who carry their wealth with them who are rich without money. They do not need palatial homes or large bank accounts. They do not need to buy admission to society-everybody love them. They are welcome everywhere because they have that which money cannot buy –a genial, helpful, sunny, cheerful disposition.
Quote from Bhagavad-Gita
That action whish is undertaken through delusion, without regard to consequence, loss , hurtfulness, and capacity , is declared to be Tamasika.

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

On Forgetfulness

Monday 5–July- 2010
On Forgetfulness
In all walks of life, whatever the profession or calling may be, we have irritants around (unawares we become one too). But what really bothers us is the irritant that irritates us. We come home from office resentful. And unable to control our irritation now and then, we cast our resentment on our family. Then we feel our family miserable. When we get to bed we cannot sleep as we plan ways to do away with the cause of irritation. We get up in the morning we go about our work sit at our desk and bury our resentment temporarily.
Then there comes a time when we go to bead and hit the pillow again. We are utterly alone with our thoughts and we take inventory or ourselves, our assets and liabilities. Then we ask ourselves what we forgot to do during the day that has gone forever.
All this happens to me and so I feel it might be the case with everybody. When I take stock of the day I suddenly remember many things I forgot during the course of the day-that I forget to smile. I forgot to compliment someone for a deed well done, for a word well spoken, forgot that I can be happy, that I can forget my resentment, violence, negative feelings hat take me away from myself and make me the small person I actually am not. I realize that I even forget that I am born to succeed in life, that I have priceless assets within me that God blessed me with, that I have dignity because I am made in God’s image, forgot to be sincere, the need to understand the needs of others, to be compassionate an self-confident, failed to accept my self for what I am and not try to be someone else.
So after recollecting what you forget today make a decision what you should not forget the following day, relax your mind and have sound sleep. When you get up next morning recollect the decision you made the previous night, adhere to that and have peace of mind Make this your habit and reach your goals sooner.
Quote from True Religion always helps
The beauty and excellence of this definition of Dharma is that all rational human being of good will , no matter of what religion or of no religion, can met on this platform of universal growth, advancement security and fulfillment. This much –needed meeting ground of all believers and non-believes has always been there from at least the time since Bhisma defined Dharma is this most acceptable manner.
True religion defined this way is surely going to –help us always and everywhere in fact if we examine Bhisma’s defiant ion, we will be inclined to agree that growth and advancement in the right direction, protection from injury and the upholding and maintenance of all, are simply not possible without the help of true religion.
Why does One Feel Afraid?
I suppose it is because one is egoistic.
There are three reasons. First an excessive concern about one’s security. Next , what one does not know always gives an uneasy feeling which is translated in the consciousness by fear. And above all. On doesn’t have the habit of a spontaneous trust in the Divine . If you look into things sufficiently deeply , this is the true reason. There are people who do not even know that That exists, but one could tell them in other words, “ You have no faith in your destiny” or “ You know nothing about Grace”-anything whatever , you may put it as you like , but the root of the matter is lack of trust. If one always had the feeling that it is the best that happens in all circumstances, one would not be
Peace in the storm, calm in the effort, joy in the surrender, a luminous Faith, and you will become aware of the Lord’s constant Presence.
Fear is hidden consent. When you are afraid of something, it means that you admit its possibility and thus strengthen its hand. It can be said that it is a subconscient consent.afraid.
A goal in which one is interested
If anyone chooses a goal in which he is really interested he will always get what he wants or something very close to it.
Good literature
The test of good literature is that it will promote repetition. We read over the same book again and again. And always with fresh delight.
Good will
A sign at entrance of a restaurant. “ You will find good will. Fellowship. And cheer in this restaurant if you bring them with you.”

A critic is a man who knows the way but cannot drive the car.
A man without a smiling face must not open a shop

How to Relax Our Mind

Monday 7–June- 2010
How To Relax Our Mind?
A mind filled with tension and unhappiness leads to negative thoughts. Such a mind creates problems to oneself and others.
In contrast, a mind which is relaxed and happy comes from positive thoughts. Transforming negative thoughts into positive thoughts. Is the hall mark of wisdom. It is well illustrated by Gautam Buddha, in an anecdote.
Once Buddha was addressing a large gathering of disciples. During the discourse , one person, out of jealousy, abused Buddha. Buddha Lovingly replied. “People are waiting to listen to my discourse in the neighboring village; please do come tomorrow. “
The man was astonished. He asked Buddha, “Are you not hurt by my harsh words?’ Buddha replied, “ In order to hurt me, you should have met me before my Enlightenment. Just as fire loses its potency when it comes into contact with water, your words, even though full of fury, lost their sharpness when they are hurled at me now”.
This is the positive thought center one has to awaken Before Buddha’s Enlightenment everything and everybody hurt him. But after he attained illumination the negative thought center has changed completely. There is yet another story that inspires us into a different thought process.
Once a father felt disturbed when his son made noise. He thought of method to calm his son. He tore a world map into piece and asked his son to join them. To his surprises , the son came back with the world map neatly pasted, in a few minutes. “How did you do this?’ asked the father. The son replied, “ Behind the world map, there was a picture of a man and I could join them easily”. Here the father who was not aware of son’s potential was finally led to find it. It is an awakening for the father that he could channalise his son’s energy and intelligence for a positive cause.
Let us change ourselves. The world will change by itself. At the same time, let us not get lost in changing only ourselves and forget to include others in our growth. We live in an “ I and You” world.
Think over on the following .
To a question, “Who is flying the kite”?
A boy replies. ‘I am flying the kite.”
The tail of the kite says, “ I am flying the kite”
The string says, “ I am flying the kite.”
Voice of the Lord said, “Oh! Children . We are flying the kite”.
Hence , the Vedic prayer says, “Let us all be Enlightened”.
We can relax in the world only when we teach ourselves and others to strengthen our strengths and weaken our weakness.
Whatever be our weakness, if we identify it , the negative thought centre in us will lose its grip on us.
Life is both fair and unfair. Learn to be a good finder. Studies show that happy people are good finder and also have the courage to counter unfairness.
Let our goodness come from our strengths, not from weakness.
How To Overcome Worry
Happiness is the goal of every human being. But many find that they are often troubled worry. “What shall I do if this happens?” How can I manage to deal with that?” The thought of meeting him terrifies me”. These are some thoughts that chase the mind of the victim of worry.
As long as we continue to worry, happiness escapes. If we continues to worry, happiness escapes. If we are worried, it shows in our face. People shun those who are worried with their won problems.
When you are worried to face a situation. “Be prepared for the worst that can possibly happen” and then improve on the worst. You can improve on the worst by analyzing the facts and arriving at a decision to act on it.
Suppose you are a young person employed in a job you do not like. Besides being unhappy, you are worried about your future. You are free to leave the job and try your best to secure another job.
If you stay where you are, you save yourself the trouble of looking for another job but you must suffer a life of dissatisfaction. If you move, you stand a chance of getting into a satisfying job with better prospects.
The advice that one should change his job is more suited to a younger man. The older man, with the best part of his working life behind him, may not be able to start again at the bottom in something new. Even though he dislikes the job, he must stick to it. Where this is the case, the problem can still be solved by changing the attitude.
There are many such problems in human relations that can be solved by seeing them in a different perspective. Worries caused by misunderstandings between friends, workers and managements, husbands and wives can all be overcome in this way.
“Getting it of your chest” is another method . Pouring our troubles into the ear of a sympathetic listener is a sound method. The pity of it is that there are not more people willing to listen . when we consult a psychologist, he acts as a sympathetic listen in a professional way. But anyone who is sympathetic to care and listen is performing psychotherapy for the troubled person.
In certain cases, where a frustrating situation cannot be altered, one needs to compensate for the frustration. This means that one should seek to achieve success in other aspects of life. Then the lack of success in the frustrating aspect will not matter much.
For example, a person who is frustrated by distasteful work which he cannot leave, might turn his attention to cultivating adequate social life, sports or recreation and so on.
When we cannot change the worrying situation, let us avoid it as much as possible. Do not think about your unpleasant work when you are away from it. If an unpleasant task lies ahead required to do it. Do not attempt to do today what must wait until tomorrow. Be content to live one day at a time.
As self is the root cause of all strife and suffering so love s the root cause of all peace and bliss.

Man-The Maker of His Destiny

Monday 3–May- 2010
Man-The Maker of His Destiny
Swami Vivekananda
We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves. If what we are now has been the result of our own past actions, it certainly follows that whatever we wish to be in future can be produced by our present actions; so we have to know how to act.
This human body is the greatest body in the universe, and a human being the greatest being. Man in higher than all animals, none is greater than man.
Man is man, so long as he is struggling to rise above nature and this nature is both internal and external.
If we read the history of nations between the lines, we shall always find that the rise of a nation comes with the increase in the number of such men, and the fall of begins in the absence of such men. That is to say, the mainsprings of the strength of every race lies in its spirituality, and the death of that race begins the day that spiritually declines and materialism gains ground.
This world is the great gymnasium where we come to make ourselves strong.
Men in general lay all the blame of life on their fellow men or failing that, on God and say it is fate. Where is fate? We reap what we sow. We are the makers of our own fate. None else has the blame , none has the praise.
Every thought that we think, every deed that we do, after a certain time becomes fine, goes into seed form , so to speak, and lives in the fine body in a potential form, and after a time, it emerges again and bears its results. These results condition the life of man. Thus he moulds his own life. Man is not bound by any other laws excepting those which he makes for himself.
My ideal, indeed, can be put into a few words, and this is; to preach unto mankind their divinity, and to make it manifest in every moment of life.
I am sure God will pardon a man who will use his reason and cannot trust, rather than a man who trust blindly, instead of using the faculties He has given him.
We must reason and when reason proves to us the truth of the prophets and great men abut whom the ancient books speak in every country, we shall trust in them. We shall trust in them when we see such saints in ourselves . we shall then find that they were not peculiar men, but only illustration of certain principles.
Why should you not try to hit the mark? We become wiser thought failures.
It is better to do something; never mind even if it proves to be wrong; it is better than doing nothing. The cow never tells a lie, but she remains a cow, all the time. Do something!
The highest things are under you feet, because you are Divine Stars;
It is the coward and the fool who says, ‘This is fate’ so says the Sanskrit proverb, but it is the strong man who stands up and says, “ I will make my fate’.
Life is very interesting. If you can learn from the mistakes you make.
My Boss…..by James
When I take a long time I am slow;
When my boss takes a long time he is thorough.
When I don’t do it-I am lazy;
When my boss doesn’t do it he is too busy.
When I do something without being told
I am trying to be smart;
When my boss does the same that is initiative.
When I please my boss I am apple –polishing
When my boss pleases his boss he is co-operating.
When I do good my boss never remembers
When I do wrong he never forgets.

Complacency

Monday 26–April- 2010
Complacency
Being satisfied and pleased with oneself is one thing. Having respect for oneself is another.
Once you reach your goal you gain confidence. You use this confidence to set new goals to achieve. That is what creative living is all about. But when should one be proud of one’s achievement? When you develop confidence on your own initiative , there is no shame in being pr0ud of it. You don’t have to brag about it; but you can look at yourself with kind eyes and, with approval, you can accept yourself for what you are and what you can be . This does not mean complacency, being satisfied with your lot and staying that way.
Complacency is variation of conceit, because you like yourself and go on liking yourself for what you have achieved, feeling you need not achieve anymore. Complacency and humility do not go together, but confidence and humility do. There is a hidden danger in being complacent . soon you become passive and rest on your laurels, whatever they may be. Then you slowly retire from the realities of life. Creative living means that you must always keep moving in the stream of things. You can still enjoy a vacation now and relax in the room of your mind to renew your energies and your courage to tackle life’s problems complacency signals that you are resting too long. All rest and no work makes you dull, uninteresting, lifeless.
No one can make you complacent without your consent.
Wisdom Speak
Life without goodness, good thoughts, good action and good words is like the sky in the night without the moon or stars. it is like a wheel without a hub or spokes. No one can push a boulder away while standing on it; you cannot be free from anxiety while all the entrances though whish it sneaks in are open- Atharva Veda
Treat those who are good with goodness and also treat those who are not with goodness. Thus goodness is attained. Be honest to those who are honest, and be also honest to those who are not honest. Thus honestly is attained.
We can work together for a better world with men and women of goodwill, those who radiate the intrinsic goodness of humankind.
Make every effort to pray from the heart. Even if you don’t succeed in the eyes of the Lord, the effort is precious.
We must learn to let go, to give up, to make room for the things we have prayed for and desired.
Quote from True religion always help
True, education without religion may produce intellectual giant. But they may very well turn out to be dangerous giants, though highly intellectual . education allied with true religion can also create intellectual giants. But they are not likely to be dangerous.
So we see how far reaching the role of religion is in the growth and development of the young, on whom depends the destiny of the nation and humanity itself.
Teacher ; As we have just learned the Earth is round and hangs in space without any support. Oliver , please tel the class how you can prove it.
Oliver ; I don’t have t prove it. I never said that it does.

How to Find Peace of Mind

Monday 19–April- 2010
How to Find Peace of Mind
You have seen those rare individuals who have a quiet feeling of contentment evincing satisfaction with life and a sense of being in harmony with the world. There is no great mystery about it. Peace of mind comes not from being without worries not from having everything one wants, not from being the most popular person. Everyone has worries. they are as mocha a part of life as breathing and sleeping.
Money is not the answer. Some of our wealthiest people are tragically unhappy. Popular , honour, power-none of these automatically bring peace of mind.
Peace can only come from within. All of us have the power within. All of us have the power within us to give ourselves peace of mind, and yet, in our modern world, with its tensions, nervous strains and everlasting rush, it is one of our scarcest commodities.
Peace of mind is a state of happiness in which a person has an inner sense of well-being and peace, with no nagging doubts suspicions and enmities to rise up and upset him. The only place to start developing peace of mind is with yourself.
The reason you do not have peace of mind is lodged somewhere in yourself.
Take worry, for instance. Many people are habitually given to worrying , rarely with good reason. Face up to your worries, sort them out, decide which are yours, and leave the rest. You will be surprised to find how many things you have been worrying about that did not actually concern you.
Confront the worries which are left. If you are concerned about illness , seek treatment if you have a personal or emotional problem, find guidance. Once you have met your problems and made a decision about them, do not let them keep eating you.
Try to make the most of your job. Do not set your goals too high. Take one thing at a time. And remember that too much driving ambition , like a run-away horse, can drag you and harm you. Set your targets within the bounds of your capabilities and be honest.
Many people make themselves their own whipping boys. Give yourself a break. Constant dissatisfaction with oneself takes thee joy out of living. Be your own best friend-it is you that you have to live with most. Try the following simple rules Block that worry! Learn to meet your worries and mastery them. Do not let them master you .
Take it easy. The body is a machine, a delicate and precise one; it cannot operate at top speed all the day. Give yourself plenty of time for the things you have to do. Avoid that hurried feeling of always being five minutes behind schedule. And some time every day, take time to rest. Let your mind and body be idle once in a while. Do not put it off. Postponing, besides being the thief of time, will rob you of peace of mind. You cannot be happy when you keep thinking about little things you intended to do but have not. Either get them done or forget about the. Learn to live with yourself. Be on your own side. This does not mean continually patting yourself with the same respect you would accord a dear friend.
Be honest with yourself, with others and in all things. Eat wisely. A well-balanced diet is essential to good health.
Find some kind of wholesome diversion. Adopt a hobby that you can lose yourself in ; if your interest is in music, set aside a time to play or listen. Be sure not to take too may responsibilities.
Be generous in relation with others. This can involve money , time or little service, and it should be done with no thought of return.
Have faith. There is no peace of mind without faith in something- oneself, one’s work a noble cause . and deep religious faith with belief in its teachings is a well-tried path to peace of mind.
You will not find some of these rules easy to follow at first. Still, if you follow them and substitute them for old habits, you will find that living is more fun with peace of mind.

The nature of life is to change.
There are men who are studious and industrious;
For them time is money.
There are men who are civilized and cultured;
For them self-respect is money.
There are men who are courageous and adventurous;
For them self-confidence is money.
There are spiritual aspirations and military soldiers;
For them self-discipline is money.
There are selfish and sensual
For them money alone is money.
Quote from True Religion Always Helps
And if we analyze the real issues of our lives. We shall find that the basic requirements are just these; real growth, advancement, protection from injury, and maintenance, leading to self-fulfillment.
Life is important not only because through living alone we come to realize all its values , life is the most vibrant divine principle that sustains the universe the Lord says in the Gita, ‘Life in all begins am I . reverence for all life is another name for the worship of God. But I must not forget that the divine principle that is in me also deserve my worship. How do I do that? By not desecrating myself. By arising and awaking and not stopping till the goal is reached. But how often we prefer sleeping to arising. Dozing off to awaking. Standing to moving ahead. We disregard time by taking life for granted. We sanctimoniously delude ourselves with the thought that we shall do better when we are better. Here and Now
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

Stress Busters

Monday 12–April- 2010
Stress Busters
By Swami Shivapremananda
1. One of the best means for stress relief is the practice of mediation before breakfast or before supper for 24 to 29 minutes.
2. Sit in a comfortable posture, either cross-legged on a soft cushion, or on a straight-back chair, with both the feet together on the floor. Close the eyes and keep the neck and back relatively straight without being rigid.
The following are some of the requirements for stress relief.
3. Communicate more with friends than you normally do. Try to make friends. Be first to smile when meeting someone. Show your interests in those you meet, in their welfare, in what they do , and try to be helpful and supportive.
4. Exercise regularly for an hour at least, such as practicing a balanced format of asana and pranayama, before breakfast or before supper. If not, walk at least three miles rapidly.
5. Be regular in your habits, such as in eating and sleeping. Eat moderately but plenty of vegetables and fruits. Vegetables should be cooked for easy digestion. Sleep at least seven hours. Avoid sleeping during day. It is better not to stay up late.
6. Be interested in your work. If there is no satisfaction in your regular job, find something useful to do for a couple of hours, such as joining a charitable institution.
7. Have some hobby , such as reading history, biography, or learning a language or to play an instrument.
Take a break form daily routine , periodically , and go on a holiday, including some new places to see.
From time to time, learn to relax, sitting in an easy chair, or lying down on the floor after moving the body part by part slightly, relax physically for a few minutes. Next , feel the coolness and the warmth of the breath a couple of minutes. Finally, feet the movement of the abdomen, breathing spontaneously. Get up after moving the body part by part, and stretching, rolling over on both sides
As general rule, practice detachment as opposed to being confrontational and , wherever possible , by being co-operative.
What is Culture?
By Swami Chinmayananada
Culture is the measuring scale of civilization. The difference between an uncivilized nation and a civilized nation lies in their culture. When a set of people live for along period of time, in a particular geographical area, respecting certain values and virtues of life there comes a fragrance which is called their culture. The quality of such culture depends upon the type of values followed.
The values respected by the people are, in the beginning, ordered by external conditions of life thus, in the first age of civilization, geographical and climatic conditions and environment influenced the people and determined their values of life. Once such values are determined and a culture is set, the external environment will have little influence over the culture thus established.
Even in our day-to-day experiences of life, we can clearly observe how external environment and happening exercise initially their distinct influence on the development of our culture. A poor boy, living in the rugged atmosphere of the slums, seems to develop a tendency to protest and fight while another, born of wealth and security, is generally more refined and cultured. This can be observed particularly in a bus queue where the latter waits and takes his turn while the former often protests, rushes and forces himself in.
Civilization flourishes with the promotion of culture, but when cultural values degenerate, the civilization of a society breaks down as we have seen in the fall of Egyptian, Greek , and Roman Empires. The great religious masters of this country, using their own earnest efforts have time and again, revived the values for which the country stood and thereby arrested the degeneration of our culture. When culture degenerates, there is an increase in cruelty and immorality in the country and its philosophy is misinterpreted leading to confusion and disorder among its people. This , in short, is more or less the sad condition of the present world. The need of the hour is forthwith to arrest degeneration by reviving the great the values of life.
In no other literature in the world have these values been so beautifully and exhaustively dealt with as in the scared books of our country . Hence, it becomes the primary duty of each one of us to dedicate oneself to unearthing the sacred message of our books and highlighting the values for the rest of mankind to follow and be richly benefited.
Knowledge tempered with experience will become wisdom.
Laws control the lesser man. Right conduct controls the greater one.
Quote from True Religion always Help-When nothing Else can Console
‘I have seen with mine eyes the Tathaagata walking upon earth and teaching men his wonderful doctrine. But you would not have listened to the words of righteousness while surrounded with temptation, while under the spell of passion and yearning for worldly pleasures. You would not have listened to the teachings, of the “Tathagata, have listened to the teachings of the Tathagata, for your heart was wayward. And you set your trust on the sham of your transient charms.
‘The charms of a lovely form are treacherous, and quickly lead into temptations, which have proved too strong for you. But there is a beauty which will not face, and if you but listen to the doctrine of our Lord, the Buddha, you will find that peace which you never would have found in the restless world of sinful pleasures.

Be Cheerful!

Monday 5–April- 2010
Be Cheerful!
We feel happy when we see people cheerful and joyful, Surprisingly, the role models to imitate to be cheerful are children. Unfortunately, as we grow, we tend to be more and more serous. If only one realizes the value of being cheerful, one would like to be so. Let us consider some salient aspects of being cheerful.
The age-old, saying ”Aanandho Brahma!”(to be happy is to be divine!)is very true! The Biblical saying. “A merry heart doeth good like medicine” is very scientific because laughing stimulates the production of the alertness hormone adrenaline which releases endorphins in the brain. These foster relaxation and even reduce pain. Research shows that cheerfulness increases longevity. The healing ability of laughter is too well known and is now recognized medically.
Many hospitals in the USA have employed laughing nurses whose duty is to visit the patients and induce them into laughter for a few minutes. This laughing therapy is found to help the patients recover fast.
A cheerful person is generally liked by all and therefore, he naturally becomes popular in any gathering. Not many know a smile takes us miles ahead in our inter-personal relationship. Perhaps the only thing that ensures 100% return with interest almost immediately is SMILE!
After all a smile requires only 4 muscles to be moved where a frowning involves 16 muscles. But still, many do not know how to be cheerful! Undoubtedly, one can alter his life by altering the attitude of his mind. Here are a few tips.
Stand in from of the mirror and smile with your eyes. It reduces your seriousness greatly.
To be ever smiling, value the other person.
Do what you like. If too late like what you do!
Accept the past, don’t brood over it.
Be optimistic with positive thinking
When you get up from bed say: ‘I shall be cheerful throughout the day today! Then often make auto suggestion to yourself as;” Only fool frown. To be cheerful is to be wonderful!”
Remember , our dress is never complete without an enchanting smile! Let us be cheerful, joyful and blissful to be wonderful!
-(Courtesy “Madras Academy for Excellence”)
We struggle with the complexities and avoid the simplicities.
There is no such thing as a ‘self-made ‘person . We are made up of thousands of others. Everyone who has ever done a kind deed for us, or spoken one word of encouragement to us, has entered into the make-up of our character and of our thoughts, as well as our success.
Live without pretending; Love without DEPNDING,
Listen without defending; Speak without offending
Give without ending.
Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible to find.
The quickest way to receive love is to give.
The fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly;
And the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
Quote from True Religion always Helps
This is not , however , to say that all the religions are identical. For instance, you may take pictures of the Himalayas from the side of India. Tibet or China. No one picture will be the same as the other. But all of them will surely be true picture of the Himalaya. By ‘true religion’ therefore , we mean the truth of every religion.
The term true religion may have two broad implications;
a) objectivity, true religion means those spiritual principles through the living of which one attains perfection, illumination, God-vision, or libertine. These spiritual principles are truthfulness, purity, self control, non-violence. Forbearance, detachment, equanimity, straightforwardness, dutifulness, other-regard, compassion, love of God, and longing for spiritual enlightenment.
b) Subjectively, true religion means not a some-time, but an all-time, religion in a person’s life . when religion courses through our blood, vibrates in our nerves, when it becomes the very breath of our life, religion has become truer for us.

Get Rid of The Cobwebs of Your Mind

Monday 22 –February- 2010
Get Rid of The Cobwebs of Your Mind
Cobwebs are suggestive of age and disuse. We often hear people say, ‘get rid of the cobwebs of the mind.’ ‘Cobwebs stand for old fashioned ideas and prejudices that prevent progress. The saying calls one to shed old fashioned and outdated ideas and practices that hamper progress. To do things as they have always been done before is not always the best way of doing them. In the light of later experience, it proves wrong.
Many firms have struggled to carry on the old traditions initiated by the founder. This is in true respect to the principle that’ what was good enough for me”. While doing so they watched the businesses decline. So it requires someone with a more alert and more modern outlook to find a better line of thought. One must have the courage to introduce new ideas. If you ask a retiring person what he thinks of some new invention or changes, he disapproves. It is difficult to persuade a man to change his outlook on life or business, but not impossible. Such a person needs guidance. We must convince him that it is of no use denying the demands of the modern age we live in and work in. as the world progresses we must be able to find our place in the scheme of things, step-by-step.
One must not rest satisfied having achieved a little, but be determined to achieve more. Never mind what may or may not have been done in the past. Keep an open mind and bring a fresh outlook to make sure of progress.
Dusty desks and dusty minds! They both need cleaning and refreshing. No one can work comfortably in a closed room. If you are conscious of cobwebs, get rid of them from your mind. They hold you down, narrow your outlook and prevent you from making the most of life.
Success
When we focus our mind with single-pointed attention on a particular object-when we put all our energies into acquiring it-then without doubt, success is guaranteed and we will attain what we wish to achieve.
Lengthening My Nights
“Lazy fellow”, father said to his playful song, “Why do you sleep so much during the day? Life is short and by sleeping you are making your days shorter”.” Don’t worry dad-I will make up by lengthening my nights.” son replied.
At an infinite rate
Experience is a jewel, and it needs be so, for it is often purchased at an infinite rate.
A Wise Man
A Learner learns by making mistakes. A wise Man learns form the mistakes of others. A Fool never learns from his own mistakes, or from the mistakes of others.
Never too busy to be kind
The happiest are those . I find, Who stop to do the little things; Never too busy to be kind, Rewarded by the joy it brings.
The road to success is full of women pushing their husbands along.
To err is human; to blame is on the other party is politics.
What is your phone Number?
The girl asked her lover, “Darling if we get engaged will you give me a ring?” Sure”, replied he lover, “What is your phone number?’
I hope you will keep yours,
A man received a letter from a kidnapper. The letter said, “If you don’t promise to send us Rs 60,000, we promise you we will kidnap your wife.” The poor man wrote back, “I am afraid I cannot keep my promise but I hope you will keep yours.”
A heart without honest
Four things are empty-a head without brains a wit without judgment, a heart without honesty, and a purse without money.
Quote from The Essence of the Gita
This is what happens to those who have realized the Self through either knowledge or devotion. Even while working, they are able to see themselves as different from one who is working. They are like ripe coconuts; the kernel within has been separated from the shell. Shake the coconut and hear the sound! We, in contrast, are like tender coconuts-the kernel and the shell are closely bound to one another. A blow on the shell affects the kernel too. We become” ripe” through the practice of Karma Yoga. As in a ripe coconut, our “;kernel and shell’ get separated. The Self gets separated from the mind, intellect, ego, sense organs and the body. It then lives blissfully in its own true nature.
Having discarded all external coverings, the Self is able to stand by itself. Not to speak of the waking state , even in sleep the illumined person sees his or her own body as if ti were someone else’s , as if someone else were sleeping. The poet-saint Ramparasad sang in Bengali;
Sleep has left me, no more shall I sleep.
In the state of Yoga, I am awake.
Her mystic sleep ; to Her have I returned
And have put my sleep to sleep!
This is the state in which the illumined ones lives; they can understand perfectly the meaning of this song. The more selfless our work is , the more our I-consciousness gradually shifts away from the body and the senses, and come to rest in the Self. We then experience the state described in the song above.
