How to Make Best Use of Time?
How easy it is to waste time ! Nothing is more frustration or tiring either . we get tired merely from thinking about a difficult job or all the jobs we should do. We waste time by thinking about them instead of taking them. And we get as tired as though we had done a hard day’s work. In order to make the best use of time we have to;
Get on with it; it is so tempting to say to oneself; ‘I will do it in a few minutes”, or ‘I will do that tomorrow”,
Get on with it now!...
Stick at it: of course we have to be sensible about how long we keep on. Short breaks for coffee and a chat can help but not unless we set a definite time limit to them.
The best use of time is achieved by sticking at a job working at a steady pace.
Do the important things first. Get your priorities right and tackle important matters while you are fresh and your energy is at its peak.
If you waste time unnecessarily with unimportant work, you tire yourself out for nothing and end up worrying about all the rest that should have been done first.
Any essential job which you rather dislike should rank high in your priority list. The longer you leave it,, the less inviting it will be. You will keep thinking about it and it will worry you.
An important job well done gives you an emotional lift.
Plan your day, if you plan wisely, you will not overload yourself with an impossible programme. You will train yourself not to be upset it something happens to disarrange your day.
If you are making the best us of time, a minor interruption will not make all that much difference in the long run.
Live and work at a steady rhythm: once you master the art of working steadily : you will certainly make the best us of time.
When we live and work to a steady rhythm we do it within our capacity of achievement and enjoyment. Not too much, no too little but just enough . This is the golden rule for a happy and contented life because it makes the best use of time wisely.
Man’s behavior towards man is the true test of civilization.
Our enemies come nearer the truth in the opinion they from of us than we do in our opinion of ourselves.
Monkey and Mirror
The monkey once chanced to get a mirror. When he looked at his own image, he thought that the monkey is the mirror had a funny face. It grinned. The image, too, grinned. The Monkey thought that the creature in the mirror was mocking . He got wild. This reflection of his own face made him feel that the monkey in the mirror as ferocious. He got terrified and regarded the monkey in the mirror as dangerous. He retreated in fear. He saw the image retreating too. He gave smile. He saw the image too smiling then the Monkey thought of the creature in the mirror as a kind hearted one. He felt happy. He found the creature in the mirror happy too. The Monkey thought that it had to a friend in the mirror and carried it away –
Quote from Gita
Vedanta divides all our karma into five groups; the obligatory (nitya),the forthcoming(agami), the accumulated(sancita), the activated (prarabdha), and the prohibited (pratisiddha), Obligatory karma like ablutions and twilight devotions(sandhya-vandana) should be done daily. One doesn’t get any special result by doing them, but their neglect cause demerit. The scriptures prohibit stealing, killing and other such things-these are called prohibited karma. The accumulated karma is that which we did in our earlier births but have not as yet reaped its results. Some of its is being exhausted in the present life; we experience this karma in the form of healthy or unhealthy body and mind as well as in our life’s various struggles. This is called activated karma. Forthcoming karma is that which is done in this life or that which will be the cause of our nest birth.

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

Youth Today
Youth is an expression of exuberance. Youth is adaptable aggressive, and emotional. Youth is like flowing water which sparkles a flower with enchanting fragrance that spreads, a beautiful smiling baby that tickles. Youth is a sharpened knife. Use it for surgery. It saves. Use it for stabbing, it kills.
The very impression that there is something wrong with the youth is mis-conceived, illogical and erroneous. It is the hollow minds, faulty imagination and wrong understanding that find fault with the youth.
If you are not to be blamed who else are to be blamed? If youth are to be blamed what for are they to be blamed?
Parents are responsible for the attitude of the youth. Today’s parent has time to make wealth for material benefits but does not find time to sit wait the children, to study them, to watch them and to inspire them. They have no time to understand the children’s ambitions, aspirations talents. Moods and movements. Thus the youth is ignored and they become desperate. The youth needs constant watching incessant understanding, steadfast instruction and inspiration. Parents feel their job is over once the children are entrusted to the school. While little time is spent at school most of the time is spent at home, which is never utilized to harness the talents and ambitions of the children.
We are racing so fast, expanding the higher education so wide, that it is producing imperfect, stereotyped, and immature youth. When the youth are immature, lack of understanding , imagination and sagacity, to harness in and inspire, do you expect them to move in the right direction?
Old order changes yielding place to new, is not change imminent, natural and refreshing? How wrong we are attempting to curb the evolution! Everything is destined to change . Move with the change, but weed out the evil in the change.
As long as you protect the interests, ambitions, ideals of the youth harnessing their talent, their in exhaustive resources, unending imagination to enrich themselves and the nation, no power on the face of the Earth, will curb our youth. The honest and efficient youth can make the world a paradise.
If life were predictable it would cease to be life, and be without flavour.
Every noble life leaves its fiber interwoven forever in the work of the world.
The want of a good excuse never kept a villain form crime.
Misfortune springing from ourselves are the hardest to bear.
Quote from Gita
Intense Peace in the Midst of Intense Action
It is said that a human being is “ a condensed universe.” What exists in the macrocosm, also exists in the microcosm-all of it, but in a condensed manner. On the other hand, what exists in the microcosms has also its vast counterpart in the outer world. Just as within us exists the yet-to-be realized sate of non-work in the midst of work, so also in the other world there is always present the serene peace of non-work even in the midst of continues change and movement.
At first glance this statement may appear preposterous. Is it ever possible to see a motionless, non-working dimension in this world, which is changing in various ways every moment? The illumined philosopher says that action and non-action, movement and rest-like the other pairs of opposites, such as pleasure and pain, light and darkness-are simultaneously present in this world. We get the idea of action and movement only by comparison with their opposites, non-action and rest. Where such comparison is not possible, we cannot perceive even action and movement. Not only do we not perceive them, but what we call action and movement do not really exist there. We see continuous movement and action in the world by perceiving and comparing the different conditions of various things. But if we consider the enteric world as just one entity and try to perceive moment in it, we cannot. That is the dimension of peace , rest and non-action. …

Let The Rose Grow Within You

Monday, November 2, 2009
Let The Rose Grow Within You
Once a man planted a rose plant and watered it regularly. One day, he saw a bud appearing on the plant. Suddenly he felt that the bud cannot blossom into a beautiful flower as the plant is infested with thorns all over. He was so saddened and despaired that he stopped watering the plant. Soon it died..
The simple tale has a lot to do with us. Very few of us realize that thee is a rose within us. The God-like sweet qualities are implanted in our hearts when we are born. They grow amid the thorns of our faults. When we look at ourselves and others we see only faults beyond mending. We despair, thinking that nothing good can possibly be found in and around us. We totally neglect or fail to find the hidden goodness in us and we never realize our own latent potential to improve an change ourselves.
Sometimes we need someone else to show what we are. One of the greatest gifts we possess is our ability to overcome the thorns within us and find our own good ‘self’. This is the chief characteristic of love, which helps us look at the persons, knowing their faults, recognize their nobility and help them to overcome their faults. If we show them the rose, they can conquer the thorns. Hence it is our duty to help others by showing their roses and not merely their thorns. Only then it is possible to develop harmony among people around us.
(From Inspiration Quote)
Harmonizing One’s Thoughts and Speech, the Principal Practice. Quote from essence of Gita
The chief practice for this is to make our thoughts and speech agree with one another . Sir Ramakrishna used to say that real spiritual practice consist of making our thought and speech one. If we make our thoughts and speech the same and pray to God, won’t He answer our prayer? Remember the story of Dhruva; In the forest he prayed to God after making his thoughts and speech one. There was none to help him; he didn’t even have the help of a teacher. Because he had made his thoughts and speech one, God gave him a teacher and blessed him with His vision. Once we make our thoughts and speech identical, God will provide us with whatever we need. Even in the Gita , Sri Krishna tells us; “Make your thoughts and speech one.”
Humour in Life
Once a farmer awakened his hired hand just before Sunrise. They dressed up and then had breakfast. When the breakfast was over the hired hand said, “How about having lunch right now. We can save time by finishing it now. Then we wont have to stop work at all at noon. What do you say?’’
The farmer thought the idea was worth a try, so then and there they ate their lunch.
Then the hired hand said , ‘if we eat our supper now, we can work straight through till it’s dark why don’t we do that?’
The farmer thought that sounded good, too, so they immediately sat down to “Supper”.
When the meal was finished the hired man began taking off his shoes.
“What are you doing now?’ there farmer asked.
“Well”, said the hired hand, “I always go to bed right after supper”.
All things which have a soul, change and possess in themselves more according to the law and to the order of destiny.

HOW TO BE LESS TIRED

HOW TO BE LESS TIRED
Much of the tiredness we complain of originates from the mind . For example, there is the tendency to think about jobs we have to do or about some problem which is worrying us. We become tired by thinking about tit before any indication of the possible problem.
Instead of worried thinking, select what is essential and necessary . Think constructively . Have a definite programme so that you know before you start in what order you want to do things.
Do tackle worries, one at a time . So often we get tired be cause we waste our energy shifting from one thing to another never finishing anything properly.
We became tired when we dislike and envy other people. If you are jealous of your neighbor, you are not likely to keep good relations with him. You fail to enjoy what you have, thinking only of what somebody else has and perhaps trying to get a similar thing.
Anger , enmity and living in a spirit of competition with other people, stimulate frustration. That state of continuous dissatisfaction with ourselves make us feel tired most of the time.
We become tired when we insist on trying to do too much in the available time. By straining to do more and more in less and less time we become increasingly tired. If you live in a chronic state or rush-and-hurry, we are likely to make mistakes or miss something important.
Make it one of your rule snot to push yourself too hard. Aim at being sensible and reasonable with yourself so that you make life flow as easily and pleasantly as possible. That is the way to be happier and less tired.
(Culled from “Psychological Magazine”)
Quote from Essence of Gita
We have seen that body consciousness and the “unripe-I” go away completely at the highest level of devotion. Now let us see how for this is true for the seeker of knowledge. The knowledge –seeker says that is the real “I”? the real “I” is beyond the body, mind and everything. It is the witness of all these. It remains unchanged in all states . It neither grows nor diminishes. The real “I” dowels to all This “unripe-I” of ours is just a part of the “ripe-I” or the real “I” . The “unripe-I” comes from eh real “I”. the goal so the knowledge-seeker is to always remain aware of the real “I”, and to merge the ‘unripe-I”, into the real “I”.
It is clear then that the devotee’s state of “absorption” and the knowledge-seeker’s “merger” with the real “I” are one and the same. Both the devotee and the seeker of knowledge want t drown the “unripe-I” . Hanuman was once asked, “How do you mediate on Sri Rama?’ He replied “When my mind is connected with the body and senses, I see that .He is my master and I am the servant. When I become aware of myself as on individual soul, I see that He is the whole and I am a part of Him. He is like the sun and I am jut one of the many rays of the sun. when my mind transcends all limitations in the super conscious state, I see that He and I are one.”

Promise Yourself

Monday, 19, October-2009
Promise Yourself
To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.
To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet.
To make all your friends feel that there is something in them.
To look at the bright side of everything and make your optimism come true.
To think only of the best, to work only for the best and to expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others ad you are about your own.
To forget the mistakes of the past and work for greater achievements of the future.
To keep a cheerful attitude at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile.
To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others.
To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world not in loud words but in greater deeds.
To live in the faith that the whole world is on your side so long as you are true to the best that is in you.
A Friend To Stand By
When troubles come your soul to try,
You love a friend who just stands by;
Perhaps there is nothing he can do,
The thing is strictly up to you;
For there are troubles all your own.
And paths the soul must tread alone,
Times when love can’t smooth the road,
Nor friendship lift the heavy load.
But just to feel you have a friend,
Who will stand by until the end,
Whose sympathy through all endures,
Whose who handclasp is always yours.
It helps somehow to pull you through,
Although there is nothing he can do.
And so with fervent heart we say,
‘God bless the friend who just stands by’
(-Inspirational Quote)
To whom my thanks should go?
O may Apple, ripe and sweet!
I would give thanks for such a treat,
But most admit I do not know
To who or what my tanks should go.
“To me , of course,” the tree replied,
“For I have all its needs supplied,
And on my branches borne its weight.
From blossom to red-ripened state!”
The Earth then murmured soft and low
“Perhaps to me some thanks should go;
This tree did wind and storm endure
Because I held its root secure. “
Then up and spoke the Honey-Bee,
“You know” its all because of me
The apple from the blossom came!
And not some thanks, then due my name?’
And so in turn all thins show
Why thanks to them should rightly go,
For each, in fact, had played the part
That God ordained right from the start.
So first on God our thanks bestow,
To all creation, then , they go!
For the gives more than He is given.
That’s why the apple taste of heaven!
God creates man, Circumstances mould him, Conscience sustains him.
The quote from The essence of the Gita
The knowledge taught in the Gita is to be realized. It has to be experienced in whether we do, be it rising , sitting, bathing, eating , or sleeping . it won’t dot rest content after getting a little glimpse of that knowledge with the help of logic, reasoning or imagination. It won’t do having desire and greed, which are products of ignorance, as the motivating factors in life. If we want knowledge, we must be dedicated to that quest. We must become one with knowledge. We must mad with it. We must become intoxicated with it!

Where is Happiness?

Monday, 12, October-2009
Where is Happiness?
Every day, everywhere seeks happiness, it is true. But finding it and keeping it seems difficult to do. Difficult because we think that happiness is found only in the places where wealth and fame abound.
And so we go on searching in “Palaces of pleasure” seeking recognition and monetary treasure, unaware that happiness is just a “state of mind”. Within the reach of everyone who takes time to be kind.
For in making others happy we will be happy, too. For the happiness you give away return to “shine on you”.
Happiness comes fro goodness in life
Possession does not provide happiness. It may even stimulate appetite for more and more and more. A new car every year. Woolen coats and pearl necklaces are beautiful to look at and delightful to possess. But they do not make even the possessor happy, except perhaps for a moment. But simple goodness does make for happiness. Happiness comes from goodness in life.
Art of Listening
Here are ten points that one must take care to do in order to develop the art of listening
 Be listener-centered instead of self-centered.
 Try to evaluate what the other speaker is saying. Curd negative emotional reactions to what you hear.
 Do not allow your feelings about the person who is talking to you influence your judgment. It breaks the rules of good listening.
 Never daydream when you are listening. Always be on guard against letting your mind wader during the conversation.
 Beware of being the type of listener who sits on edge and is ready to jump in and provide the answers rather than to stand by to ask more questions.
 When the person is speaking to you, do not let your mind work to figure out how you can disagree with him.
 While the speaker is talking, never pretend you are just listening. If you let your mind wander, the person speaking to you is the first to detect it.
 Beware of setting yourself up as an unsympathetic listener at the mention of such things as religion, nationally or political preference.
 Do not be a restless listener. Be calm and relaxed.
 Beware of becoming what you might call an open mouth listener, one who must say something each time the speaker stops to catch his breath.
-Inspirational Quote.
Alcohol is harmful
Many people suffer from illusions about the effects of alcohol. medical Science has conclusive evidence to show that these beliefs are baseless.
Alcohol does not warm you up on a cold night. By dilating blood vessels alcohol produces false sense of warmth but in reality impairs regulatory mechanisms and makes you more prone to catching cold.
Alcohol does not sharpen appetite. In fact it reduces appetite and desire for essentials foodstuffs and thus leads to malnutrition.
Moderate intake of alcohol too is harmful. The development of liver disease is not proportional to the amount of alcohol taken, even small intake of alcohol can lead to cirrhosis.
Alcohol does not increase sexual pleasure and performance. Its leads to decreased levels of male hormone thereby leading to decreased sexual pleasure and performance. –(Courtesy; Ministry of Social Welfare)
Whatever you see is thins world is but the glory of God. All fear of this world will disappear the moment you realize Him..
Peace is a condition of mind brought about by the serenity of soul. Lasting peace can come only to peaceful people.
Two things are necessary for the salvation of men: to know what he ought to desire and to know what he ought to do.
It is said that there is a particular time for everything to happen, one cannot go against that and make things that and make things happen.

How to solve a problem

Monday, 28 ,September-2009-
My site domain name has been changed from samratvision.com to yehoo.co.in
How to solve a problem
1. Do not keep the problem constantly within the focus of your attention. By constantly worrying about it nothing can be gained, rather the problem will become more acute and intense.
2. Continue performing your duties in daily lie. Do not lose hope.
3. Derive strength from within your should through prayer, meditation and surrender to God.
4. Cultivate harmony in your nature through good association, selfless service and study of scriptures.
5. When you continue worrying about the problem, your spirit is surrounded by agitation and inability. Then even a simple problem assumes a mountainous proportion. On the other hand when you develop a calm temperament , even a most baffling problem yields to a simple solution.
6. Wit and watch. Do not be hasty Assert, “Even this will pass way.”
7. Perform your self-effort to the best of your capacity . do not think that any situation has the capacity to close all the gates to your progress. The spirit within you has limitless powers.

Never arrive on Time!
Having served on various committees. I have drawn up a list of rules; Never arrive on time; this stamps you as a busy guy. Don’t say anything until the meeting is half over; this stamps you as being wise. Be as vague as possible; this avoids irritating the others. When in doubt, suggest that a subcommittee be appointed . be the first to move for adjournment; this will make you popular; it is what everyone is waiting for.

Something About You
Something in your smile speaks to me, something in your voice sings to me, something in your eyes shows me that you are the most dearest person to me, something in your talk fascinates me, something in your face enlightens me, something in your laugh makes me rejoice and I have no choice-except to know you would be the one I would always love to see, something about you makes me want to care, something in you is so rich and rare, for you are the one that I could trust and there is something in your charm that will never rust.

It is by the will of God that everything happens in this world, we forget this truth and happily ascribe our name to it.
