WHERE THERE IS BEAUTY

Where there is beauty, there is ugliness. When something is right, something else is wrong. Knowledge and ignorance depend on each other. It has been like this since the beginning. How could it be otherwise now? Wanting to toss out one and hold onto the other makes for a ridiculous comedy. You must still deal with everything ever-changing, even when you say it's wonderful.

WHY DO WE SUFFER


God or His Name is the sole strength in living against all odds and uncertainties. If one is not at cross purposes with Him, one finds His manifestation in every happening. But, one has to bear with patience the onrush of the forces one has let loose. Yoke yourself unto Him and He will bear the brunt.

Take refuge in none but Him. Dependence on Him makes one fearless. Human beings will enjoy three-fourths of life and one-fourth they will suffer. But, we lose our patience and do not accept even that one-fourth of sorrows given by Him.

Don't be obsessed with any wish. Shake off sadness. Unhappiness is part of the ego. Beyond it, no such thing exists. That you have forgotten Truth (that God is within) is the root cause of your misery.

TAKE TIME

Take time to think...
it is the source of power.
Take time to play...
it is the secret of perpetual youth.
Take time to read...
it is the fountain of wisdom.
Take time to pray...
it is the greatest power on earth.
Take time to love and be loved...
it is a God-given privilege.
Take time to be friendly...
it is the road to happiness.
Take time to laugh...
it is the music of the soul.
Take time to give...
it is too short a day to be selfish.
Take time to work...
it is the price of success.
Take time to do charity...
it is the key to fulfillment.

MERE SAI

Woh shehar ajeeb saa lagtaa hain
Jahan teraa mandeer nahin,
Woh mandeer soona lagtaa hai
Jahan teri pooja naheen,
Woh galee khaamosh lagtee hai
Jahan teraa koyee nishaan nahin,
Woh mehafil viraan lagtee hain
Jahan teraa koyi zikr nahin.

Strange is to see a town where there isn't Your temple
And those places are empty where there is no worship of You !
The street where there isn't Your sign is so silent
And the gathering of those feel barren without the remembrance of You !

GOOD THOUGHTS FOR ALL TIMES

When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive, to breathe, to think, to enjoy and to live.

Regardless of how much trouble you are having, how hard the going seems to be, keep your thoughts on a high and positive level.

Prayers opens your heart until it is enough to hold and keep God.

The ultimate measure of man is not where he stands in moments of comfort but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

God is like us to this extent, that whatever in us is good is like God.

Do not say anything harsh, what you have said will be said back to you.

GREAT THOUGHTS TWO

Life is so short that it must be lived slowly. Slowing down can mean you look at things calmly. Don’t fly of the handle.
You can try mini-meditation while the phone is on hold. Practice yielding and you will be amazed to see how relaxed you feel and how much more efficient in life you become.
Sink a little and do some abdominal breathing when stuck in a line at the bank or waiting anywhere. It will do good to your digestive system.
Life is simple----normally you live, learn, seek happiness and love, you grow old, and you die. Live and act simply and truthfully. Get out of your own way, and you’ll find all your problems begin to resolve themselves.
There is nothing in our power; when you have done your best; leave it upto HIM, HE knows best when it is to be done.

Jaisa pani vaisi Vani so be careful where you eat or drink.

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self centered; forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, some one could destroy overnight; build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness they may be jealous; be happy anyway.
The good you do today people will often forget tomorrow; do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; give the world the best you’ve got anyway.
In the final analysis, it is between you and GOD; it was never between you and them anyway.

Where there is pain, I wish you peace and mercy. Where there is self doubt, I wish you a renewed confidence in your ability to work through it. Where there is exhaustion, I wish you understanding, patience and renewed strength. Where there is fear, I wish you love and Courage.


FOR MY GRANDSONS

GREAT THOUGHTS

Be mindful of me,and I will be mindful of you.

The world basically and fundamentally is constituted on the basis of harmony. Everything works in cooperation with something else.

It is probably not love that makes the world go around, but rather those mutually supportive alliances through which partners recognize their dependence on each other for the achievement of shared and private goals.

Let’s face it. In most of life we really are interdependent.We need each other. Staunch independence is an illusion,but heavy dependence isn’t healthy,either. The only position of long term strength is interdependence.

Union gives strength.

The brotherhood of man is evoked by particular men according to their circumstances. But it seldom extends to all men. In the name of freedom and brotherhood we are prepared to blow up the other half of the world and be blown up in our turn.

By perseverance the snail reached the Ark.

God is with those who persevere.Acquire a firm will and the utmost patience.

The galleries are full of critics. They play no ball, they fight no fights, they make no mistakes because they attempt nothing. Down in the arena are the doers. They make mistakes because they try many things. The man who makes no mistakes lacks boldness and the spirit of adventure. He is the one who never tries anything. He is the brake on the wheel of progress and yet it cannot be truly said he makes no mistakes, because his biggest mistake is the very fact that he tries nothing, and does nothing except criticize those who do things.

The real purpose of work is not to satisfy selfish desires. For, if that had been so, GOD would not have worked for the good of the world. Man has to go beyond the sense of “I” and “mine” and replace it with “we” and “ours”.
