For any solvable problems or mishaps or disputes, solve them within 36 hours, or the shorter the better...

Problems, challenges, disputes, misunderstandings, misfortunes... do happen round the clock, round the world, round your neighborhood or round your family or round yourself....

It is best that one solve them within 36 hours or less. When our body or our mind or emotion is hurt or disturbed, we tend to dwell on the problems too long. Negatives left too long unattended will lead to health disasters...

A fire when small can be well in control, but once the fire gets wild and unattended, it will lead to even more serious disasters. At the same time, when a slight misfortune happen to a person, he or she should immediately find a way to solve it and put it aside.

Too many people made this mistake, to dwell on the problems too long, self-affirming oneself that he or she was terribly unlucky or emphasizing on the pain. Our brain or our mind listens to what we tell them. Though sometimes, complaining itself is just only a means to attract people's attention, some overdo it, thus exaggerating the problems and letting it purposely get out of control.

Thus, remembering this, when a mishap did happen, just analysis it, solve it, do away with it, even better to forget about the pain. It is never too wise to lament and spread gossips unnecessarily. Put things right and take it as an lesson to improve one's experience on that specific field.

Always remember, the sooner the problem is solved, the better one will be in full control of our life. The best medicine for hurt and pain is time.

True love will shine in its glory, bright light lighting up the universe...

Anger is not a human quality... Anger is the quality of a dog...

Anger is not a human quality...
Humanity can rise to Divinity through sense control.
When you get angry, remind yourself
that anger is not a human quality;
it is an animal quality.

Anger is the quality of a dog.
When you are angry, tell yourself,
"I am not a dog, I am a man."
Similarly when your mind wavers, tell yourself repeatedly,

"I am not a monkey, I am a man."
Truth, Righteousness, Peace, Love and Non-violence
are the true human values. Losing any one of these
values amounts to losing one's life principle itself.

One have to need at least 40 different types of food per day to keep our different body cells lively and healthy...

Learn to develop love, when there is love, there is no scope for evil qualities...

Once you develop love,
there will be no scope for
evil qualities like anger, jealousy, etc.

If your thoughts and actions are good,
your future is bound to be good.
Then the whole country, nay,
the whole world will prosper.

Pray for the peace and prosperity
of the entire world. Peace can be
attained only through practice of human values.

To err is human....

To err is human...
to forgive divine...

No one is perfect,
No one is without flaw,
No one is without weaknesses,
No one is without mistakes...

At some other weaker time,
These weaknesses provoke,
At some other negative time,
These weaknesses take control...

Just that guilt...
Just that minor mistake...
will eat us up...
will devour us real bad...

Sufferings untold...
Repenting unfold...
We learnt, yes, we learned...
To divert our bodily bad mistakes...

Looking at our perishable body...
Feeling our flesh in our mortal body...
One must look forward to our immortality...
And be real repented and away from immorality...

Only then we feel adjusted...
Only then we feel released from guilt...
Only then we feel detached from body guilt...
Only then we feel at peace and at ease...

Adversities come in all shapes and colors... but can you recognize it and pass the test?

Be grateful and thankful! You have no 'right' to complain!

We never are thankful,
with what we have...
We never are grateful,
with what we have...

Our desires, our longings,
our wishes we wish...
Our attachments, our belongings,
our future we wish...

Thus forgotten that we can hear...
Thus forgotten that we can feel...
Thus forgotten that we can eat...
Thus forgotten that we can see...

All forgotten, and we start to complain...

If you haven't met a blind man,
If you haven't met a deaf man,
If you haven't met a dead man,
If you haven't met a dying man,

Where is your 'right' to complain???

A review of 12 whole months... advices to heed...

Take twelve whole months.
Clean them thoroughly of all
bitterness, hate, and jealousy.
Make them as clean as possible.

Now cut each month into twenty-eight,
thirty or thirty-one different parts,
but do not make the whole batch at once.
Prepare it one day at a time.

Into each day, mix well
1 part of faith,
1 part of patience,
1 part of courage,
and 1 part of work.

Add to each day
1 part each of hope, faith,
compassion, contemplation,
and at least 1 good deed.

Season the whole mixture with
a dash of good spirits,
a sprinkle of fun, a pinch of play,
and a cupful of good humour.

Pour all of this into a vessel of love.
Cook thoroughly over radiant joy,
garnish with a big smile,
and serve with humility, gratitude
and a cheerful.......HELLO!

Remain Blessed!
Duty is God, Work is Worship...

The teacher might looks hideous, ugly, old, bent or crude, but what matters most is what is in his mind and his heart. We are attracted by his teachings, not his appearance. It is his personalities and characters as a teacher which will earn our respect and trust. Don't be deceived by its looks, it is the inner beauty that counts....

Reasons to be happy...

Reasons to be happy..

When I had many deficits,
In fact, I wasn't too happy....
But thought twice, I should be happy...
If not, I won't have any time left to be happy....
So, I decided to keep calm and remain happy...
Happiness is so scarce, cherish it, be happy...
That was one good reason for me to be happy.....

When I had nothing,
In fact, I wasn't happy too...
But thought twice, Nothing cannot make me unhappy...
Since I have Nothing to be unhappy...
So, I decided to remain not unhappy....
because he who had everything was still unhappy...
Why should I who had nothing be unhappy?

One day....
When I have something...
In fact, I can be happy...
But think twice, why shouldn't I be happy?
Happiness doubles, so there is no reason to be not happy...
Something is better than nothing, so rejoice and be happy...
But some don't even have anything, yet they are happy...
And they are so much at peace of mind and heart and happy...

One day...
When I have everything...
I suppose I can be very happy...
But think twice, to have everything is nothing to be proud and happy...
When I had nothing, I wasn't unhappy...
When I have something, I wasn't unhappy...
Only when everybody has something, we be happy...
When only everybody has everything, we will be so happy...

Happiness is self-made..
Happiness is self-acquired...
Happiness is love in the making...
Happiness doubles through sharing...
So, it depends on how one looks at happiness...
So, it depends on how one attains happiness...
Only then one will experience true happiness...

A thorn in your flesh? It pains but...

A thorn in your flesh?
It pains but you will gain...
Why? No kidding or shouting...
It pains, mind you, no pretending...

No matter how careful you are...
No matter how powerful you are...
No matter how hateful you are...
No matter how fearful you are...

You will meet this someone...
You will be so much irritated...
You will be so much agitated...
You will be so much worried...

Scold him? Beat him?
Kick him? Send him away?
But he is flesh and blood...
But he is under your roof...

Yes, he is the thorn in your flesh...
But be thankful that you are given this thorn...
You have done a good job in accepting this thorn...
You have been given a task to live with this thorn...

Why be thankful or grateful?
Well, well, well... Your patience is being tested...
Your loving and forgiving heart being tested...
Your character, your personality being tried...

So, are you going to pass the test?
Or, be an ostrich and complain some more?

What should we compete?

Look around and see things...
Look around and feel those things...
Look around and get some things...
Best of all, share some things...

What should we share and compete?
Who should we share and compete?
How should we share and compete?
Let's see what we can share and compete...

Compete how grateful you are...
Compete how loving you are...
Compete how much you have contributed...
Compete how much you are committed...

Compete how filial you are...
Compete how loyal you are...
Compete how forgiving you are...
Compete how sincere you are...

And how diligent you are in acquiring knowledge?

You cannot have the obverse without the reverse...

Grief is the feet and joy the head; both are part of the same entity. You cannot welcome joy and reject grief at the same time. You cannot have the obverse without the reverse. The diamond is at first just a dull piece of stone, a hard pebble. Only when it is cut by a skilled artisan does it shine brilliantly like a flame. Allow yourselves to be treated by the Master so that all your dullness will disappear and you will emerge effulgent as a resplendent diamond.

Beauty is not skin-deep...

Delicious, fresh, sweet grapes.... good to cleanse our body system...

Besides apples, we can try out many other citrus fruits, berries and grapes...also rich in beneficial vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients...

An apple a day keeps the doctor away... it actually emphasizes the importance of vitamins, phytonutrients, fiber and trace minerals...

God has created you not to lead a selfish life...

God has created you not
to lead a selfish life.

Uphold Truth for the
welfare of humanity, even
at the cost of your life.

After all death occurs only once in a life time.

Everything happens according to God's will.
Man who has been created by the Divine
will should sanctify his life by following the Divine command.

There is nothing bad in this world, even that which appears to be bad is also good...

There is nothing bad in this world.
Even that which appears to be bad is also good.

So, never consider anything bad.
How can evil enter God's creation?

Every thing happens according to God's will.

There is no scope for bad events
when the Divine WILL is always good and pure.

How can you point out something as bad
when Divinity pervades everything?

Good and bad lies in your vision, not in creation.

Happiness and sorrow are like passing clouds...

Happiness and sorrow are like passing clouds.
One should not be elated in times of pleasure
or depressed in times of pain.

One should remain equal-minded,
unaffected by happiness or sorrow.
This is the sign of true devotion.

Pleasure n pain come together just as the bitter rind n sweet juice coexist in an orange...

Before attaining success in
any endeavor one has to face hardships.

Pleasure and pain come together
just as the bitter rind and sweet
juice coexist in an orange.

You cannot enjoy the sweet
juice of surgarcane unless it is crushed.
Likewise, gold has to be put in fire,
hammered and cut before it is made into be beautiful jewel.

Similarly, humanness will shine only
when one undergoes trials and tribulations.

Cleanse your heart of all evil qualities...

When your heart is filled
with negative thoughts, how
can you expect God to fill it
with his love and grace?

First of all, cleanse your
heart of all evil qualities.
Only then can God fill your heart
with his love and grace.

A well tended garden is pleasing to our eyes, but ever thought how these gardeners care for it?

We crossed the bridge,
but destroyed it,
We enjoy good living,
yet still complained.
