THE SECRET OF PEACE AND BLISS!

Living in temples, under trees, sleeping on the naked ground, wearing deer skin, renouncing all possessions and enjoyments, to whom will not dispassion bring happiness?

The formula for peace is the attitude of detachment, spirit of dispossession in your possessions, a sense of mental resignation to a higher power even while you are enjoying the world.

What is the difference between a happy man and an unhappy man? Can you say that a happy man has fewer problems?

The happiest of people do not necessarily have the best of everything. They just make the most of everything that comes their way. Everyone has problems and difficulties to make them unhappy. What makes a person happy despite his problems and challenges, however, is his attitude, approach and mental disposition.

Having enunciated in detail the wrong approach to the spiritual journey, and condemning the external paraphernalia of religious practices, a true sanyasi (man of renunciation) is described. Renunciation is a state of mind of a developed human being. It is a state when your sentiments and emotions gain maturity, desires are controlled and your intellect gains clarity.

The result of true renunciation is happiness. Richness and accomplishments that you desire cannot make you any happier than your present state unless you develop renunciation.

The true key to peace and happiness is dispassion, relinquishing the hunger and thirst for enjoyment.

The only way to enjoy anything is to realize that you can do without it.

The attitudes and intrinsic being of such a great soul help overcome the pressures of desires and passions......

INCREDIBLE JAPAN -10 LESSONS TO LEARN FROM A GRIEVING BUT GREAT NATION!

INCREDIBLE JAPAN - 10 LESSONS TO LEARN FROM A GRIEVING BUT GREAT NATION!

1. THE CALM!

Not a single visual of chest-beating or wild grief. Sorrow itself has been elevated.

2. THE DIGNITY!

Disciplined queues for water and groceries. Not a rough word or a crude gesture.

3. THE ABILITY!

The incredible architects, for instance. Many Buildings swayed but didn't fall.

4. THE GRACE!

People bought only what they needed for the present, so everybody could get something.

5. THE ORDER!

No looting in shops. No honking and no overtaking on the roads. Just understanding.

6. THE SACRIFICE!

Fifty workers stayed back to pump sea water in the N-reactors. How will they ever be repaid?

7. THE TENDERNESS!

Restaurants cut prices. An unguarded ATM is left alone. The strong cared for the weak.

8. THE TRAINING!

The old and the children, everyone knew exactly what to do. And they did just that.

9. THE MEDIA!

They showed magnificent restraint in the bulletins. No silly reporters. Only calm reportage.

10. THE CONSCIENCE!

When the power went off in a store, people put things back on the shelves and left quietly.

LET'S ALL SALUTE THE SPIRIT OF JAPAN AND HER PEOPLE! THEY ARE IN OUR PRAYERS!





Aano bhadra krtavo yantu vishwatah.(- RIG VEDA)
"Let noble thoughts come to me from all directions"

POWER OF LOVE

You can transform your world in an instant by the way you
Choose to see it. You can change problems into
Opportunities, anxiety into enthusiasm, and despair into
Determination.

The quality of what you see depends on the perspective from
Which you see it. And that perspective is entirely up to
You.

Instead of reacting again and again to the chaotic ups and
Downs of circumstance, you have a more powerful choice. You
Can choose to live from a constant and unassailable
Perspective of love.


Instead of fighting against most of what happens, you can
Choose to be lifted higher by all that happens. From a
Perspective of love you'll see the positive possibilities in
Every situation.

The way to live from love is to be completely and wholly
Honest with yourself. In the pure truth of who you are and
What you sincerely value, is the limitless power of that
Love.

Allow you to be truly you. And let the power of love color
Your world.

THREE WORDS

Three-Word Phrases, can be tools to help develop every relationship.
There are many things that you can do to strengthen your relationships.
Often the most effective thing you can do involves saying just three words.
When spoken sincerely, these statements often have the power to develop
new friendships, deepen old ones and even bring healing to relationships
that have soured.

The following three-word phrases can be tools to help develop every relationship.

Let me help:
Good friends see a need and then try to fill it.When they see a hurt they do what they can to heal it.Without being asked, they jump in and help out.

I understand you:

People become closer and enjoy each other more when the other person
accepts and understands them. Letting your spouse know - in so many little ways
that you understand them, is one of the most powerful tools for healing your relationship.And this can apply to any relationship.

I respect you:
Respect is another way of showing love. Respect demonstrates that
another person is a true equal.If you talk to your children as if they were adults you will strengthen the bonds and become closer friends.This applies to all interpersonal relationships.

~I miss you:


Perhaps more marriages could be saved and strengthened if couples simply
and sincerely said to each other “I miss you.”
This powerful affirmation tells partners they are wanted, needed, desired and loved.
Consider how important you would feel, if you received an unexpected phone call
from your spouse in the middle of your workday, just to say “I miss you.”

~Maybe you’re right:


This phrase is very effective in diffusing an argument.
The implication when you say “maybe you’re right” is the humility
of admitting, “maybe I’m wrong”. Let’s face it.
When you have an argument with someone,
all you normally do is solidify the other person’s point of view.
They, or you, will not likely change their position and you run the
risk of seriously damaging the relationship between you.
Saying “maybe you’re right” can open the door to explore the subject more.
You may then have the opportunity to express your view in a way
that is understandable to the other person.

~ Please forgive me:


Many broken relationships could be restored and healed if people would
admit their mistakes and ask for forgiveness. All of us are vulnerable to faults,
foibles and failures. A man should never be ashamed to own up that he has been
in the wrong, which is saying, in other words, that he is wiser today
than he was yesterday.


~ I thank you:


Gratitude is an exquisite form of courtesy.
People who enjoy the companionship of good,
close friends are those who don’t take daily courtesies for granted.
They are quick to thank their friends for their many expressions of kindness.
On the other hand, people whose circle of friends is severely constricted
often do not have the attitude of gratitude.


~ Count on me:


A friend is one who walks in when others walk out.
Loyalty is an essential ingredient for true friendship.
It is the emotional glue that bonds people.
Those that are rich in their relationships tend to be steady and true friends.
When troubles come, a good friend is there indicating “you can count on me.”


~ I’ll be there:


If you have ever had to call a friend in the middle of the night,
to take a sick child to hospital, or when your car has broken down
some miles from home, you will know how good it feels to hear the phrase
“I’ll be there.”
Being there for another person is the greatest gift we can give.
When we are truly present for other people, important things happen to them and us.
We are renewed in love and friendship.
We are restored emotionally and spiritually. Being there is at the very core of civility.


~ Go for it:


We are all unique individuals. Don’t try to get your friends to conform to your ideals.
Support them in pursuing their interests, no matter how far out they seem to you.
God has given everyone dreams, dreams that are unique to that person only.
Support and encourage your friends to follow their dreams. Tell them to “go for it.”

~ I love you:


Perhaps the most important three words that you can say.
Telling someone that you truly love them satisfies a person’s deepest emotional needs.
The need to belong, to feel appreciated and to be wanted. Your spouse, your children,
your friends and you, all need to hear those three little words: “I love you.”
Love is a choice. You can love even when the feeling is gone.

GOD'S TIMING IS RIGHT

What ever that happens in life, happens for good.So stop worryingabout the future and forget the past. After Sept. 11th, one company invited the remaining members of other companies who had been decimated by the attack on the Twin Towers to share their available office space. At a morning meeting, the head of security told stories of why these people were alive and all the stories were just the 'L I T LE' things.


As you might know, the head of the company survived that day because his son started kindergarten. Another fellow was alive because it was his turn to bring donuts.One woman was late because her alarm clock didn't go off in time.
One of them missed his bus. One spilled food on her clothes and had to take time to change.One's car wouldn't start.One went back to answer the telephone.
One had a child that dawdled and didn't get ready as soon as he should have.
One couldn't get a taxi.The one that struck me was the man who put on a new pair of shoes that morning, took the various means to get to work but before he got there, he developed a blister on his foot. He stopped at a drugstore to buy a Band-Aid. That is why he is alive today.Now when I am stuck in traffic, miss an elevator, turn back to answer a ringing telephone all the little things that annoy me. I think to myself, this is exactly where God wants me to be at this very moment.


Next time your morning seems to be going wrong, the children are slow getting dressed, you can't seem to find the car keys, you hit every traffic light, don't get mad or frustrated.


God is at work watching over you.


Pass this on to someone else, if you'd like.
There is NO LUCK attached. If you delete this, it's okay:
"God's Love Is Not Dependent On E-Mail."


The message above reminded me of a hindi song i used to sing in school as a little child.


This is how it went-

The beautiful life that god gave us is to enjoy as much as you can by doing good and
noble deeds.

Every one will have up's and downs in life.Because of these up's and down's one should not feel that he or she is useless.There should be motivators in our life.
so whenever you need motivation, just be happy with what you have
The motivation given to others can be very powerful indeed we should give good meaning to our life.


so keep thinking about this and think before while doing any rash things.

"Count your blessings, see them one by one & it will remind you, what the lord has done". So, true isn't it??

KEEP BELIEVE IN YOURSELF

There may be days when you get up in the morning and things aren’t the way you had hoped they would be.

That’s when you have to tell yourself that things will get better. There are times when people disappoint you and let you down.

But those are the times when you must remind yourself to trust your own judgments and opinions, to keep your life focused on believing in yourself.
There will be challenges to face and changes to make in your life, and it is up to you to accept them.

Constantly keep yourself headed in the right direction for you. It may not be easy at times, but in those times of struggle you will find a stronger sense of who you are.

So when the days come that are filled with frustration and unexpected responsibilities, remember to believe in yourself and all you want your life to be.
Because the challenges and changes will only help you to find the goals that you know are meant to come true for you.

Keep Believing in Yourself

You can learn a lot of powerful lessons by studying the words of wise people – those that have gone before us and achieved success.  Take some time and let these fantastic sayings about life really change you for the better.

Here are seven fantastic sayings about life to propel you towards greatness:
    “In great attempts, it is glorious even to fail.”

    ~ Vince Lombardi
We always seem so afraid of failure.  Yet, you can never accomplish anything really worthwhile without taking the risk that you might fail.  A big failure means that you took a big risk.  You stuck your neck out.  You took a shot.  You should pat yourself on the back for being so brave.

    “Stand out or fit in.

    Not all the time, and never at the same time, but it’s always a choice.

    Those that choose to fit in should expect to avoid criticism (and be ignored). Those that stand out should expect neither.”

    ~ Seth Godin

This fantastic saying about life is actually a complete blog post from Seth Godin.  It is so true.  The temptation in life is to try to fit in.  You have to fight the seduction of this every single day.  Standing out will draw criticism.  It will make you a target.  But, it is the only path to success.

    “Start where you are.

    Use what you have.

    Do what you can.”

    ~ Arthur Ashe
This is some of the best advice ever uttered by a human being.  It crushes every single excuse we try to use to remain comfortable and stagnate.

    “What a wonderful thought it is that some of the best days of our life haven’t happened yet.”

    ~ Unknown

Hope is a key component of living life to the fullest.  You must have hope.  You must believe that you can create a better tomorrow.

    “No one has ever become poor by giving.”

    ~ Anne Frank
No matter your condition, you have something to offer this world.  You have something that is needed.  Give that something and you’ll be amazed at what you get in return.

    “This is your world.  Shape it or someone else will.”

    ~ Gary Lew
Having made it to mid-life, I can tell you that this is absolutely true.  Look around yourself.  Make an honest evaluation.  Who is shaping your world?

    “If you limit your choices only to what seems possible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want.  And all that is left is compromise.”

    ~ Robert Fritz

Don’t live your life as a compromise.  Don’t wait for the perfect time or the perfect opportunity or the perfect scenario.  Start today.  Stop worrying about failure and what people might think and what’s reasonable.  Go for your dream.  You’ll never regret it.
