Celebrate the immediately succeeding second by an honest effort to get lasting joy

Truly speaking, nothing new has happened today. Do not wait for the celebration of something new in Time until the minutes, the hours, the days, the months add up to a year. Celebrate the immediately succeeding second by an honest effort to get lasting joy. There is no touch of meanness in trying to get joy or Ananda. It is only the means that make it unworthy and futile. As a matter of fact, it is to fill himself with Ananda that man has come to this world, equipped with speech, mind, intelligence and conscience. Only man has the chance and the capacity among all living beings. But man has forgotten his goal and is wandering in the wilderness of trivial pleasures.

How to reach the right destination

The inner voice is another name for the Buddhi (intellect). Man is guided by this inner voice in the conduct of his life. Whenever problems arise, he awaits the directives of the inner voice. If satisfactory answers are not forthcoming from his inner voice, he will have no satisfaction in life. In other words, one’s satisfaction with the external world is a function of one’s satisfaction with one’s inner world, represented by the inner voice. Sometimes you hear people saying, "My conscience is not satisfied, or my conscience does not approve of this". Here, conscience refers to this inner voice. Only when you follow the dictates of your conscience can you reach the right destination.

Develop the love of God and realise the bliss that is beyond all words

Everyone should realise that to attain oneness with divinity is the goal of human life. Hence it is everyone's duty to develop faith in the Divine. With the growth of faith, if one leads a life devoted to Dharma (righteousness), Sathya (truth) and Neethi (justice), he will be achieving the purpose of life. When we practise Dharma, the Divinity in us will manifest itself spontaneously. The man who does not follow Dharma is a burden on the earth. It is more important to earn the grace of God than earn all the wealth in the world. Develop the love of God and realise the bliss that is beyond all words.

Every thing should be done in a Spirit of Dedication to the Lord

Devotion

In the discipline of Bhakti (devotion), one has to stand the test at the hands of the Lord. He has to hold on to the Lord's name at all times and under all conditions, without the slightest trace of dislike or disgust, bearing the ridicule and the criticism of the world and conquering the feelings of shame and defeat.

Life is a message

1 ) A Senseful story:

A Mechanic was removing the engine parts from a motor cycle, when he spoted a famous heart surgeon in his shop. He called the surgeon and said " LOOK AT THIS ENGINE. I OPENED IT'S HEART, TOOK THE VALVES OUT, REPAIRED AND PUT THEM BACK. SO WHY DO I GET SUCH A SMALL SALARY AND YOU GET A BIG ONE WHEN YOU AND I ARE DOING THE SAME WORK"

The Surgeon paused and whispered "TRY TO DO IT WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING"

2) Know yourself

Candle sizes may vary but they yield the same brightness। It is not the matter of our position। Its our ability that shine

3) DON'T COMPLICATE THE SIMPLE PROBLEMS IN LIFE

If 1 = 5

2 = 25

3= 125

4 = 625

5 = ?

Think before scroling down........

See the first line...

Don't complicate simple problems in Life

Thought for the day

To reach the stage of a Jnani (Knower of the Supreme), the preliminary steps are Karma and Upasana (righteous action and worship). Without following the paths of Karma and Upasana and succeeding in them, one can not become a Jnani, just as a student cannot acquire a degree without passing out of school. Before one becomes an adult, one has to pass through the stages of childhood and youth. It is idle for any one to claim that he is a Jnani, unless he has gone through the prior disciplines. The mark of a Jnani is perennial joy. It is for realizing the oneness of divinity that the three stages of action, worship and knowledge have been laid down in the Vedas.

-Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba

The entire world is filled with love. The world is Love and Love is the world. In every human being, love is present as an effulgence which shines in his heart. Love is life and life is love. Love is an inborn quality in man. It is his very life-breath. Even as the power to burn is natural for fire, and the power to cool is natural for water, love is a natural trait for man. Without it, he ceases to be human.

-Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba

Thought for the day

Only a person who has the attitude of Kshama (forbearance) can be considered to be endowed with sacred love. This cannot be learned from textbooks; nor can it be acquired from preceptors. It is only when we face problems and difficulties that this quality of forbearance and forgiveness has scope for taking root. When one is confronted with problems and difficulties, one should not get upset and become a victim of depression, which is a sign of weakness. Instead, one must confront the situation with an attitude of tolerance and forgiveness, without getting agitated or giving rise to anger, hatred and revengeful thoughts.

How to get liberation (Moksha)

Realize that you have within you the source of power, wisdom and joy. Assert that you are unconquerable and free, that you cannot be tempted or frightened in to wrong. So long as a trace of body consciousness persists in you, the search for God must continue. Do not get caught in the sticky tangles of the external world. Do not harden your heart through greed and hate. Instead, soften it with love. Cleanse it through pure habits of living and thinking. Make it your shrine, wherein you install and worship God. Then, you can enter the sacred precincts of Moksha (Liberation).
