1. A heartwarming smile
2. A heartfelt prayer
3. A heart filled thought
4. A heart working task
5. A hearty laugh
6. Heart touching faith
7. Heart reaching ways
8. A heart pleasing promise
9. A heart spoken thanks…
Do you wish to link with God?
If the answer to that is a “Yes” then it is easy…all you need to do is find your heart…and in whatever you think…whatever you say…and in whatever you do…just use the strength of your heart alone…and soon you shall see that the heart you use for all that you do is the breath of God that is filled in you and in me.
And there is one more secret that I shall say. To find your heart is no trouble from today. Just take all that you desire and put it away. Pick up the thoughts that make you stray. And below it all you shall see a treasure…full of love. That is your heart…keep it first. And then the rest is Grace that will shower on you once you have placed your faith in love. God is love…and He is at this moment with you as love that shines within your heart.

The tongue
The tongue, which is meant to utter sacred words,
is being used to criticise others. One cannot describe
in words the fate of such a person.

People pray to God to relieve them from pain, grief and loss...
People pray to God to relieve them
from pain, grief and loss, to confer
on them wealth, health and strength; but,
if you develop an intimate attachment
to Him and make Him yours, He will manage
to give you all that you need.
Do not demean the relationship
into bargaining; give me this,
then I shall give you this in exchange;
if you insist on wages, you become a servant.
Become His own. He is providing for the idler,
the insane, the shirker; can He not provide for you?

Daisies...Look at its flower petals that are created in balance perfection, & best of all the duplica of the same species...
Nature's balance teaches us a lot...
Look at its petals, so evenly structured...
And being duplicated a lot...
Just look for that specie and they resembled...
We humans learn a lot...
Yet missed out too many...
We are created limbs alike...
Yet inside our heart, we fight too many...
When can one be realized?
When can one understand?
That you and me are the same...
That you and me are sparks of the Divine...
Because we resemble and look like our Creator!
Isn't that perfect and a happy fact?
The real art of nature is how we look at it, with an eye? with closed eye?
Behold the beauty of the flower...
Behold the fragrance of the flower...
Behold the uniqueness of the flower...
Behold the color of the flower...
But do we ever give a thought to whom who planted it?
Do we ever give a thought to whom who watered this plant?
Do we ever give a thought to whom who cared for it?
Do we ever give a thought to whom who created this plant?
Give a moment to thank the creator!
Spare a moment to thank the gardener!
Give a moment to thank the photograher!
Spare a moment to thank yourself that we can see...
Be grateful!

Let genuine love radiate with bright colors and lights...
Genuine love is here to stay...
Genuine love dont betray...
Genuine love is here to stay...
Not only yesterday but also today...
Genuine love evoke in us faith...
Genuine love evoke in us hope...
Genuine love is meant to last...
Thus true love is no task...
True love will not be stained by pride, ego, selfishness, hatred or injustice...
True love will not be stained...
True love makes way to forgiveness...
True love will not be stained...
True love makes way to refine weaknesses...
True love will not be stained...
by pride, ego, selfishness, hatred nor injustice...
Yes, true love will not be stained...
by envy, greed, deceit, mistrust nor discrimination...
Mother Nature in its perfection... color, fragrance, shape and dignity and beauty so much to be proud of...
LOVE and PROTECT Nature!
LOVE and never DESTROY!
We will PAY dearly for DISTURBING ITS BALANCE!
for DESTROYING and not REPLENISHING its ABUNDANCE!
Manage our emotions... by understanding equanimity towards joy and grief...
Equanimity is not meant to
build a spiritual ivory tower,
insulated from all the cares and woes of living.
Equanimity does not mean indifference.
With equanimity, we actually increases
our compassion and enables our care to
penetrate below the surface of life.
We work hard to achieve our goals,
fulfilling our responsibilities for service,
thus equanimity provides a safe harbor,
the security of inner peace,
the calm in the center of the storm.
Facing or avoiding difficult situations,
equanimity enables us to meet life steady.
This inner peace and evenness of spirit
lets us bring our best to life without
retreating or succumbing to inner turmoil
as a reflection of the outer chaos.
To work toward equanimity,
we let go of attachments. We distinguish
the normalcy of caring and loving from
the slavery of being bound and chained
by identification and clinging.
We prefer not to be dragged
into the world of reactions.
Unwelcome events do send ripples
across the calm ocean of equanimity,
ripples informing us of the need to respond.
But it is precisely the quality of
equanimity that helps us respond
effectively instead of reactively.
Equanimity opens us to the timeless, the deathless.
Indeed, equanimity develops through our contact with
that part of our soul that resides in the timeless.
This peace from the worlds beyond time, embraces the world in time.
But it is so much easier said than done...

Steadfast faith, pure unselfish Love is far more valuable than tons and tons of erudition ...
PLANT steadfast faith and pure unselfish.
Try to understand the magnificence of Love,
its precious possibilities. It is far more
valuable than tons and tons of erudition
and miles-long titles before one's name.
Place these on one pan of the balance called 'Life',
and place one single drop of Love Divine in the other.
The drop will outweigh the others.
Sincerity is looking for the truth while uprooting at the same time the untruth in you...

Without discipline, there can be no welfare!
Speak to the extent needed.
Don't waste your word. If you talk loudly,
it amounts to wasting your word.
Only those for whom they are meant
should hear your words. There are some
who talk very loudly even while walking on the road.
Nobody will respect such people.
You have to uphold your self-respect
and manifest it by your speech and conduct.

Be at peace, chase peace...
Be at peace. Chase peace!
There is no fight that can give you
anything other than stress.
If you have to lose at times - lose -
that itself is a win within.
If you have to bow - bow -
that itself will make you rise.
The winner is only that one
who is always at peace with all
with no grudges.
Follow the compass, not the clock...if you want to do your job BEST!
We use to set timetables for our jobs, our loved ones, our family, our recreation, our pleasure, our entertainments and our church activities... but most of the time, we are not happy as to strictly follow the clock.
Our motive in following the compass is more important than following the clock. Our goals to have things done within a certain period is sometimes deadly... with deadlines!
Just take the extra mile to do things, take the extra mile to make things happen smooth and easy... follow the compass, instead of the clock...
Nothing is ever lost.. it is just the state of matter...disintegrated into smaller atomic matters, too tiny or cannot be seen with our naked eyes...
Time and wind has reshaped these buildings built long ago... They have disintegrated into smaller pieces, blown by wind, deposited somewhere, forming and unforming from its original state. It either metamorphosised or altered, but it is always there...
Do differences attract or repel? Do differences fight or love?
Understand that if all species are being fed well, and if there are enough food for all, there will be no fights for food... thus no fights for power, fame, wealth...
Pointing fingers?
One finger is pointing at others, but the other 4 fingers are pointing to yourself... Be aware of causes and effects. There is no effect without a cause!
We are endowed with the power of CHOICE! We can CHOOSE to remain unpolluted or polluted!
The beauty of flowering lilies proves a success, be they thriving in dirtied waters. Remember we can choose not to be polluted or be polluted by useless negatives. Remember all of us are given the CHOICE! We have the power to CHOOSE! Noone is to be blamed. We are directly or indirectly allowing things to happen. We are directly or indirectly responsible for all things that happened or will happen.
Truth will win its way to triumph....
Truth is choosing the correct path...
Truth is following the correct path...
Truth is walking the correct path...
Truth is continuing the correct path...
Truth will win its way to triumph...
Or our limbs and body limped...
Truth will win its way to righteousness...
Or our mind and emotion fallen in weaknesses...
A pen can be used for a good purpose, but it can also do harm in another's hand...
All of us know that a pen is specially designed for writing when put in good use, but a criminal might also use it to kill with its sharpness. So should we blame the creator of the pen or the person who use the pen?
Why fight each other when we breath the same O2 and drink the same H2O?
Fights will never end among those who fight justice for themselves. Fights will always flare up more injustice and anger. No fights = No anger, No anger = peace of mind. Learn to treasure the few decades that we live as humans... And our mortal body will die, leaving memories captured in one's life.
Leave behind memorable loving memories worth remembering. Leave behind memorable loving sweet memories worth revising, worth mentioning. Only then our lives are not wasted, the once upon a time when we have a body.
Caring and loving should be our motive amongst friends...
Caring means a lot...
It can be a misssed call...
It can be a short call...
It can be a message...
It can be a picture message...
It can be an advice...
It can be an encouragement...
It can be a motivation...
It can be a resolution...
Love means more...
Caring his or her pains...
Sharing him or her your gains...
Aware of his or her health...
Unaware of his or her wealth...
Learning and living to his or her expectations...
Listening and understanding to his or her confessions...
Fogiving and forgeting his or her weaknesses...
Accepting and treasuring his or her friendliness...
True love seldom comes twice or thrice...
Let true and genuine love thrive...
It is that simple, to say 'yes' or 'no'
All these that we all know...
Let the colors of nature enlighten and brighten our daily routine...
All of us might be wearing 'glasses'...
These colored, sensitive, layered 'glasses'
will give you the color of the scenery.
If you wear a selfish 'glass',
you will be angered by what you see.
If you wear an anguish 'glass',
you will see red in all.
If you wear a hateful 'glass',
you will see anger and revenge.
If you wear a clear 'glass',
you will see all clear and dear.
If you wear a loving 'glass',
you will see God in all and attain peace...
Beware of which pair of glasses you put on!
Give me this chance to serve... to explain... and to quench your thirst...
Give me this chance to serve...
so as to sooth your nerves...
Give me this chance to explain...
so that you won't complain...
Give me this chance to quench your thirst...
so as to conquer your emotion and be the first...
Serve all, love all...
