Why are you remining poor?

Being poor is a frame of mind."
- Mike Todd

Comment: We have to tackle all things, first in the battle field of minds. Of all poverty, is mind creation. We may be materially poor. But why should we label us as poor. We can think of rich.. Rich children of God. Don’t say we are poor my dear. We are born rich. Eternally rich.

Why shall we not compromise?

Don't compromise yourself. You are all you've got.
-Janis Joplin

Comment: Our character is our identity. Never ever compromise it. You know all will pass. What remains is we alone. So at the end of the day, we have to answer. Beware. What’s the use of gaining whole world, if we lose our soul- says bible

What is topping our growth in life?

Everybody wants to be somebody: Nobody wants to grow.
-Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Comment: we have an unhealthy fixation on others’ achievements. We are more interested to become somebody lese by imitating their success. In fact, Life wants us to grow in a way we only can. So dear please focus attention on our special talents and allow it to flower. Stop being somebody.

How many times we have to get up?

You've got to get up one more time than you fall down.
Homer Drew

Comment: life is not allowing us to be at place where we fell down. Life demands us to get up every time. Let us fall for 10000 times, we should get up 10001 times. Simple as that. It doesn’t matter to fail. It matter to remain as a failure. Try next time. Plan for the next move. Dear move on. Increase the rate of failure so that a day will come when we must be able to move without any falls. Even if falls, smile. Because we can still get up. Thank god for that

Why are Pioneers special people?

"First" is always difficult. We don't know that things can be done, that dreams can be fulfilled, that great accomplishments can be realized until somebody takes that first step.

Geraldine Neckiman

Comment: take the first step. Don’t worry for the success or failure. Taking the first step itself is success. Break into a new ground. Look foolish my dear .Ready to face the scornful grins. But you are changing the very patterns of failure by taking the very first step. You are unlocking the treasure of great wonders. Every first step in any new activity is like co-creating with god. It is the divine act. God love fresh and new things. Go for it . Be new my dear

With wrong priority, can we lead a right life?

Back at Matthew 6:33, Jesus says "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."

Comments: we are sometimes called into understand the fundamentals of life. We must know what is important and what is insignificant. This quote from New Testament is inviting to the centre of existence. We can’t bluff anymore. We have to know what is really important. We must know the priority. The command is clear. My dear make a change in your priority and it makes the whole difference to life.

Can we turn life a prayer?

"Pray without ceasing."
Thessalonians 5:17

Comments: My dear, it doesn’t matter what we have or what is lost from us. It does matter are we praying continuously. It is the order that we have to pray each and every moment. Rather than verbal praying, this means, we have to turn life a beautiful prayer. Move like prayer, speak like prayer. Listen like a prayer. Smile like a prayer. Dear prayer is an art still not understood fully. It opens doors unknown and it works its way through hidden corridors in divine kingdom. Just pray. Dear just pray always always always

How really real the life is?

Dreams are real while they last; can we say more of life?
Havelock Ellis (1859-1939)

Comments: This is a wonderful quote. See here the Maya aspect of life is explained very effectively. Indian philosophers argue from time immemorial that the existence is a kind of make believe phenomenon, which is nothing but a state of dream. We are called upon to awake from the slumber so that we can get into real state of bliss and life. Looking from there, they say, we may look the life as we look a dream after waking up. It means, we have to get out the frame to see the picture my dear.

Why courage is very important in life

Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.
-Anais Nin

Comments: Courage is what defines life along with character. Courage is the lifeblood without which we can’t think of doing anything. Fear is the biggest disease. Feat is paralyzing. Courage liberates and releases all hidden potentials. Dear, dream big with limitless courage. Your courage can take you to the top of Himalayalas. Let lose everything except courage. Dear, with courage alone, we can move mountains. And I must say, it is no different from faith. But have we got it as big as a mustard seed?

Which chance we shall not miss in life

Never miss a chance to keep your mouth shut.
--Robert Newton Peck

Comment: Silence is the soul of existence. Silence is the seed of purity. Then my dear why should we speak? Silence is the best thing. Then dear why should we do the second best- speaking? Always remember deep inside the heart, the chance to be silent is given by god. Strive hard to be silent. Treat every opportunity to be silent is a blessing. Silence is unity. Silence is unbreakable ONE.

When will all like us while we dislike ourselves

"I think the reward for conformity is that everyone likes you except yourself."
-- Rita Mae Brown

Comment: Everybody has got his or her stamp of originality. Only originality gives creative satisfaction. World is expecting mediocre work. But soul is calling for original expressions. Dear, only heed the call of your soul. Everything else is unimportant. World is just a changing flux. Keep your allegiance to your inner fire. Nothing else matters. Be different. Dear be daring. Dear conquer everything with your trademark smile.

Life needs everyone

Know that there's enough room for everyone to be passionate, creative, and successful. In fact, there's more than room for everyone; there's a need for everyone.
- Marianne Williamson

Comments: See, we need not competitive. This world has enough space for all of us. Of course, we can strive for bettering our selves in whatever we do. The competitive spirit to beat other is counter productive. It creates tension and bitterness. We have to smile to life and let all to win. Winning is sometimes losing. Let our brother or sister win the game my dear

What one should do before going sleep

"We should every night call ourselves to an account: What infirmity have I mastered today? What passions opposed! What temptation resisted? What virtue acquired?"
-- Marcus Annaeus Seneca

Comment: it is important to reflect. See, we can’t go on like this. We have to account for all we do anyway. So better clear the debits now itself before it gets accumulated. Close and constant self observation will save us from bitter and devastating end results. Beware ever second. Beware every night. Dear life is not that easy deal as we are made to believe. It’s serious. But don’t lose sleep over it. Ok.

how to be at the right place at the right time

I've always been in the right place at the right time. Of course, I steered myself there.
Bob Hope

Comment: Hope or well wishes don’t reach us anywhere. We have to walk down the road really. We have to carry the bag literally. In order to reach the right place, we have to do it ourselves. Nobody else will do it for us. My dear strive hard. Diligently. Steadfastly.

What happens when we give back to society?

Life isn't just about you. It's about family and friends and giving back.

- Reese Witherspoon

Comment: It’s high time to ask what we have given back to our family and friends. Our purpose is to serve all who is in immediate contact with us. What we achieved or gained is not important in the eye of existence or God. What we gave back and how we served others makes the difference. Stop thinking about us. Start thinking for all others around. Selfishness is the ultimate disease. Agreed, selflessness is a kind of enlightened selfishness. But that’s another story my dear. Give back to life, and then life will turn really blissful. Understand other fellow is important, not we.

Why modern civilization is called foolish

The foolishness of the modern day civilization is that they want the kingdom of God without God.
Sankarshan Das Adhikari

Comment: Very valid observation. We want to enjoy in our own way. This is impossible. Nature has its own rules to get back to us. Nobody can ever relish life independent of the laws of higher life. It may seem somebody can do that. Today or tomorrow, the truth will catch up with all force. So my dear, enjoy life in accordance with the higher laws of life. It will lead to real bliss that can be found only in the KINGDOM OF GOD. Everything else is humbug.

Why whould we enjoy life

Dance like no one is watching, Love like you'll never be hurt, Sing like no one is listening, Live like it's heaven on earth.

- William Purkey

Comments: See that’s the beauty of it. Life is a celebration. There is no point in looking over the shoulders. We have nobody to fear except our own super self. Which is God. Smile often and start dancing. We are answerable to god only. Just do which is answerable to god. Enjoy ourselves. Enthrall our super soul

How does destiny work?

A person often meets his destiny on the road he took to avoid it.
Jean de La Fontaine

Comment: In life, we just can’t avoid anything. What is required is boldness. We have to face it squarely. Fear is the biggest disease. Nothing in this life is to fear. Nothing in this life is to run from. Face every obstacle. Challenge every barrier. The more we try to avoid, the more it will catch up.

Why are you advised to learn laughter?

Through humor, you can soften some of the worst blows that life delivers. And once you find laughter, no matter how painful your situation might be, you can survive it.- Bill Cosby

Comments: Only man can laugh. Only man can think. Only man can meditate. Only man can visualize. Only man can build. Dear Live like a man. Laugh. Think. Meditate. Visualize. Turn your life truly blissful. Life will be joke then. Simply. That enables us to survive worst moments.

how can you realise god- Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa

God reveals Himself to a devotee who feels drawn to Him by the combined force of these three attractions: the attraction of worldly possessions for the worldly man, the child's attraction for its mother, and the husband's attraction for the chaste wife. If one feels drawn to him by the combined force of these three attractions, then one can attain him.
- Ramakrishna

Comment: So my dear, combine these. Capture the essence of existence. Nothing is sublime than this. Nothing is excited than this. Get ready for that

WHat you have to do to get what you want

You have to decide for yourself what you really want. Walk as if you know where you're going.

Cathie Black

Comment: This is a simple technique. We must know what we want. We must believe that we can get it. And we must behave as if it happened already. Inside it has to manifest before it gets actualized outside. So dear, just behave as if it happened already, then see what is happening outside of you

Please dont say, i want rainbow, not rains

if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.
-Dolly Parton

Comment: My dear, get ready to pay the price for the blessings. Nothing comes so easily in life. We have to literally bear the associated costs. Just know it and soar high in life.

The power of human spirit

Circumstances—what are circumstances? I make circumstances.
- Napoleon Bonaparte

Comment: The indefatigable power of human spirit can create circumstances for success, if it wills. That knowledge is hidden from us, because of the power of ignorance. Dear, the moment we come out of our self imposed limitations, we can simply create anything we want. For that, we have to be meditative. We have to be prayful. Though Napoleon says it from the point of ego, this saying actually finds its expression from the point of egolessness.

Why millionaires are unhappy sometimes

However, in the end, happiness is an inside job.

Comment:Happiness may look like an outside phenomenon. But the possessions and material gains will not make one happy. Ultimately happiness is an inside job. Without anything in hand, one can be happy. With everything in hand, one can still be unhappy. it’s all about attitude. My dear, world can’t make you happy. What is offered to you can’t make you happy. Happiness is a mind experience.

Pray like a candle

Listen, stand up in prayer during the night*, for you are a candle, and at night a candle stands and burns. *Qur'an: Surah Al-Muzzamil (The Enwrapped One), 73:20
- Mathnawi [IV, 1456]

Comment: This poetically reminds us importance of prayer, the importance of prayer in night especially. Just note the comparison of the human soul with candle and praying to burning candle. See we are candles and our prayers are the light that emits from us. Make life a prayer. Pray ceaselessly. Just as the life-purpose of candel is burning, life purpose of a human being is pray with awareness. Again make life a prayer. Start now. Why to postpone?

what is stopping you now to accept the love of life?

There is a time to take and there is a time to give.

Comment: in life, we have to accept many things from others. There is no need to be shameful. it is a fact of life that our whole life is gifted. Then there is no need to be worried over taking. Same time, it is our duty to give back. Then the whole cycle of goodness will continue. We have to give from the fullness of heart with humility. We have to take with utmost gratitude. Take from all ur friends and from all you know. Give to all your friends and all you know. what is stopping you now to accept the love of life?. may be now is ur time to take my dear. may be now is ur time to give.

Why discovering your uniqueness so important

Discover your uniqueness; then discipline yourself to develop it. You are blessed with a unique set of skills and talents. Find them, refine them, and let them carry you toward success.
Jim Sundberg

comment: It is important to understand our special strengths. My dear analyse what you like to do in life. Analyse where you find maximum fulfillment. Through that exercise, locate the nature of your genius and design a life according to that. When you work on your strengths, life seems so easy, life seems a voyage of enduring success.

What not to do with bad habits

“Don't water your weeds.”
-- Harvey Mackay

comment: In life, we will have temptations to do unwholesome actions. Hold it. be vigilent in whatever we see, talk and hear. Ensure it is helpful to the journey of ur eternal soul. Ensure all we do , think, hear and sat nurture the sapling of our soul. My Dear, don't water the weeds. Just feed the tree of love and life.

where does the secret of success lie?

Put your heart, mind, intellect, and soul even to your smallest acts. This is the secret of success.
- Swami Sivananda

Comment: Half hearted attempts wont bring results. The character of success is defined such that it calls for dedicated soldiers. So dear, do with full fun, do with full love, do with full commitment. The world is about to be conquered. Small acts will turn into big gains later

Where does the problems really exist?

Problems exist only in the human mind.”
-- Anthony de Mello

Comment : World is full of love and opportunities. We are missing it, because of our conditioning. Free the mind. Dear, actually, no problem exist. Free yourself. Free your soul. you are the king. MArch ahead with all pomp and be successful. SHED THE MIND. SIMPLY

For what purpose, we are made by GOD

"Past the seeker as he prayed came the crippled and the beggar and the beaten. And seeing them... he cried,

‘Great God, how is it that a loving creator can see such things and yet do nothing about them?’...

God said, ‘I did do something. I made you.’"

-- Sufi Teaching

Comment: It's our solemn responsibilty to extend the hand of love and service. No justification to postpone a good deed. We are made to serve. We are made to love and care.
