WORRIES AND PEACE

Each time a swarm of worries invades your mind, refuse to be effected: wait calmly, while seeking the remedy. Spray the worries with the powerful chemical of your peace.

FIRST THINGS FIRST

Any number of zeroes have no intrinsic value unless number 1 (one) is added before them. Even so the wealth of the three worlds is nothing if you do not try to acquire spiritual wealth, if you do not strive for Self-realisation. Therefore live in the soul or the Self within. Add the Divine to the Life here. Seek first the Lord within: He is the fountain Source of Divine Riches, Power and Beauty.

LETTERS TO GOD

A FEW DAYS BACK I HAD SENT YOU A “ LETTER FROM GOD “ BUT TODAY I AM SENDING YOU ” LETTERS TO GOD” WRITTEN BY CHILDREN:

Who draws the lines around the countries ?
Did you mean for the giraffe to look like that or was it an accident ?
Instead of letting people die and having to make new ones, why don’t you keep the ones you have now.
Thank you for my baby brother, but what I had prayed for was a puppy.
If we come back as something, please don’t let me be Jennifer Horton, because I hate her.
I think about you sometimes, even when I am not praying.
I bet it is very hard for you to love all the people in the World. There are only four people in our family and I can never do it.
If you watch me in church Sunday, I’ll show you my new shoes.
We read Thomas Edison made light. But in Sunday school, we learned that You did it. So I bet he stole your idea.
I do not think anybody could be a better GOD. Well, I just want you to know that I am not just saying because you are GOD already.
I didn’t think orange went with purple until I saw the sunset you made on Tuesday. That was cool!
May be Cain and Abel would not kill each other if they had their own rooms. It works with my brother.
Look after yourself we love you very much.

LETTER FROM GOD

As you got up this morning, I watched you, and hoped you would talk to me ,even if just a few words, asking my opinion or thanking me for something good that happened in your life yesterday. But you were too busy, trying to find the right outfit to wear.

When you ran around the house getting ready, I knew there would be a few minutes for you to stop and say hello, but you were so busy to do so…….At one point for 15 minutes you had nothing to do—but you ran to phone and called a friend to get the latest gossip..

I noticed that before lunch you looked around, and I thought may be you felt embarrassed to talk to me, that is why you didn’t bow your head. You glanced three or four tables over and you noticed some of your friends talking to me briefly before they ate, but you didn’t. But there is still more time left, and I hope that you will talk to me yet.

You went home and after a few chores you turned on the television set. I waited patiently again as you watched TV and ate your meal, but again you didn’t talk to me. Bedtime I guess you felt too tired. After you said good night to your family you got into the bed and promptly fell asleep…You know, I’ve got patience, more than you will ever know.

I love you so much that I wait everyday for a nod, prayer or thought. It is hard to have a one sided “conversation”. Well, you are getting up once again. And once again I will wait, with nothing but love for you.
Hoping that today you will give me some time. Have a nice day.

FORGIVENESS

Subvert anger by forgiveness.

Where there is forgiveness, there is GOD himself.

There is no revenge so complete as forgiveness.

Good to forgive, and best to forget.

Through training there is knowledge. You can produce compassion, love and forgiveness. You can change yourself.

The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.

We can do some of the above but not all. Can we ?

THE CONQUEST OF HAPPINESS

Do not jeer at any one.
Do not frown at anybody.
Restrain all your senses.
Be cheerful always.
Do not look back;
make steady progress on the path of goodness.
Divest yourself of all desire and wrath.
Cast off pride.
Turn your gaze inwards.
Contemplate.
You will enjoy true happiness.

CHANTING MANTRAS CAN TRANSFORM LIFE

Many people laugh at others for chanting names. The jnana yogi uses his intelligence to realize his ultimate nature, but they have disdain for all other systems. They Laugh at bhaktas and make fun of kriya yogis and karam yogis.

Once a jnana yogi went to Lord Shiva and said, All your Bhaktas keep chanting mantras and doing nothing but adding to the noise pollution just by chanting mantras. what will they get,. Why don’t you tell them to stop?.

Pointing to a worm crawling on the floor, Shiva said, “Just go close to the worm and utter Shiv Shambu.” The jnana yogi did what he was asked to do and when he uttered Shiv Shambu. The worm died immediately. What is this I just said the mantra and the worm died?

Shiva smiled and pointed at a butterfly and asked the jnana yogi to do the same and when he did so the butterfly died immediately. The jnana yogi was stunned and said if the mantra can kill why do they recite mantras?.

At this Lord shiva smiled and pointing at a deer, He asked the yogi to say Shiv Shambu near the deer and doing so the deer too died.

Then a mother came with a child in her lap and again Shiva asked the jnana yogi to utter Shiv Shambu near the child, at which he refused and said he does not want to kill the child. But Shiva asked him to do so, and when he uttered Shiva Shambu the child woke up and said, I was just a worm, with one mantra you made me a butterfly and then you made me deer and again with the third mantra you made me a human being. Please utter the mantra once again and I want to attain divinity.
