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.”

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.
