Do You Know Me ?

I am a little thing with a big

meaning.

I help unlock doors, open hearts,

dispel prejudice.

I create friendship and goodwill.

I inspire respect and admiration.

Everybody loves me.

I bore nobody, I violate no law,

I cost nothing.

I have been praised by many

condemned by none.

I am pleasing to those of high

and low degree.

I am useful in many ways

every moment of the day.

I am called "COURTESY"

Open Heart

The heart is like a flower - unless it is open

it cannot release its fragrance into the world.

The fragrance of the heart is made up of the qualities and virtues of our spirit.

Most of us have learned how to keep our heart closed in a world that

would trample all over us if we let it.

Being open hearted today seems to require tremendous courage.

It is a courage which comes only when we realize that no one can

hurt us, no matter what they say or do.

They may hurt our body, but if we have realized we are spirit,

nothing outside can touch us, if we so decide. Little by little,

practice opening your heart to those you think have hurt you.

Realize it wasn't them that hurt you, it was yourself.

And it taught you not to trust and you closed your heart.

A closed heart is in need of opening. And when you do,

you will have begun to heal yourself.

SECRETS TO A HAPPY LIFE

A Good way to be happy is to learn some of the characteristics and apply them.

Forget the past 

 Take responsibility for your life 

 Build relationships
 Develop multiple passions 

 Build your character 

 Be who you are 

 Live your life purpose 

 Have positive mind 

 Work creatively 

 Use your talents 

 Make others happy 

 Practice compassion 

think on these lines

Recently in a Satsang, Sri Sri Ravishankar cracked a joke.

People laughed hysterically over the joke.

Then he repeated the joke and fewer people laughed.

Then he repeated the joke again and again there was lesser laughter.

This went on for some more time and each time there was lesser laughter.

Then Sri Sri Ravishankar said: 

  

If you don't laugh over a joke if it is repeated more than once then why cry over the same grief again and again? 

  

One should carefully think on these lines.

Positive Thaughts

Prayer is not a "spare wheel" that you pull out when in trouble, 

But it is a "steering wheel" that directs the right path throughout. 

Do you know why a Car's WINDSHIELD is so large The Rear-view Mirror is so small?

Because our PAST is not as important as our FUTURE.

Look Ahead and Move on. 

Friendship is like a BOOK.

It takes few seconds to burn,

But it takes years to write. 

All things in life are temporary.

If going well,

Enjoy it,

They will not last forever. 

If going wrong, don't worry,

They can't last long either. 

Old Friends are Gold!

New Friends are Diamond!

If you get a Diamond,

Don't forget the Gold!

Because to hold a Diamond, you always need a Base of Gold! 

Often when we lose hope

And Think this is the end,

GOD smiles from above and says,

"Relax, sweetheart, it's just a bend,

Not the end! 

When GOD solves your problems,

You have faith in HIS abilities;

When GOD doesn't solve your problems

HE has faith in your abilities. 

A blind person asked Swami Vivekanand:

"Can there be anything worse than losing eye sight?"

He replied:

"Yes, losing your vision!" 

When you pray for others,

God listens to you and blesses them,

And sometimes,

When you are safe and happy,

Remember that someone has prayed for you. 

WORRYING does not take away tomorrow's TROUBLES, It takes away today's PEACE.

Be human, follow dharma.

आहार निद्रा भय मैथुनं च समानम् एतत् पशुभिः नराणाम्
aahaara nidraa bhaya maithunaM cha samaanam etat pashubhiH naraaNaam

धर्मः हि तेषाम् अधिकः विशेषः धर्मेण हिनाः पशुभिः समानाः - चाणक्य नीति
dharmaH hi teShaam adhikaH visheShaH dharmeNa hinaaH pashubhiH samaanaaH
Food, sleep, fear and procreation - these are equal in animals and humans.
Virtue (dharma) alone is distinctive in them.
Those who avoid dharma are equal to animals.
Eating when hungry, sleeping, fear, procreation - these traits are common to both animals and humans. So, what is the difference between animals and humans?
Just being educated do not qualify one person as an educated, What sets humans apart is their ability to follow a path of virtue (dharma). Their intellect, paves way for them to think what is good and what is bad.A true human sticks to the one that qualifies as dharma. That ability of decision making in coherence of dharma, are what makes him human. Else, he would be showing the same traits as the rest of the beings, which are called animals. Hence, if one doesn't follow the path of virtue, he is as good as an animal!

The one faculty that sets us apart from other beings is dharma. Do not forgo that for any reason.
Be human, follow dharma.

Important lessons to learn from a humble pencil.

It tells you that everything you do will always leave a Mark.

You can always correct the mistake you make.

The important thing in life is what you are from inside and not from out side.

In life you will undergo painful sharpenings which will make you better in whatever you do.

Finally, to be the best you can be, you must allow yourself to be held and guided by the hand that holds you.

 

swami Vivekanand

Three things are necessary to make every man great, every nation great” 

1.Conviction of the powers of goodness

2.Absence of jealousy and suspicion

3.Helping all who are trying to be and to do good.

Nature wants us to react, to return blow for blow, cheating for cheating,

lie for lie, to hit back with all our might, then it requires a super divine power not hit back, to keep control, to be unattached”

The very essence of education is concentration of mind, not collecting of facts. Develop the power of concentration of mind and detachment and then with a perfect instrument collect facts at will.

Persons are but the embodiments, the illustration of principles. If the principles are there, the persons will come by the thousands and millions.

A "GOOD WORLD" A "HAPPY WORLD" AND SOCIAL PROGRESS are all terms equally intelligible with "Hot Ice" or "dark light".There is no progress without corresponding digression. 

Why We Tell Stories

There was once a disciple of a great teacher. Day after day the disciple would sit at the feet of his teacher listening to his instruction. Many people would come to visit and inevitably the teacher would engage them by telling a story.

One day the disciple asked; "Guruji, why do you engage people by means of stories? Why don't you just give them your teaching straight out?"

The guru answered: "Bring me some water."

Now the disciple knew his teacher to be a very formal and disciplined man. He had never asked for water at this time of the day. Nevertheless, he went immediately to fetch it. Taking a clean brass water pot from the ashram kitchen, the disciple went to the well, filled the pot with water and returned. He offered it to his teacher.

"Why have you brought me a pot when I asked only for water?"

The moral of this story…

We share with others the lessons we have learned. We provide you with a banquet of various tastes and styles. It is up to you to choose that dish which you find most palatable.

NICE THOUGHTS

NICE THOUGHTS

 Once, all villagers decided to pray for rain. On the day of prayer all the  people gathered but only one boy  came with an umbrella... 

THAT'S FAITH             

When you throw a baby in the air,  
she laughs because she knows you will catch her... 

THAT'S TRUST  

Every night we go to bed, without  any assurance of being alive the next morning but still we set the alarms in our watch to wake up...

THAT'S HOPE

We plan big things for tomorrow in spite of zero knowledge of the future   or having any certainty of uncertainties...

THAT'S CONFIDENCE  

             

We see the world suffering. We know there is every possibility of same or similar things happening to us. But still we get married??... 

THAT'S OVER CONFIDENCE !!   

Problems

Never tell Ur Problems to any one 

Except the one Who Genuinely Loves you....

Because 20% people Dont Care & 

other 79% People are Glad that U have Problem..

Thats truth.

--

Problem can either

MAKE YOU

or

BRAKE YOU

The Hammer that brakes glass

Can shape steel

Its up to us to be glass of steel

Have a will power of steel 

and

vision of Glass
