Offer worship to your mother

Mathru Devo Bhava, Pithru Devo Bhava (Revere your mother and father as God). You must understand that parents are verily God. If you make your parents happy, the whole world will be happy. It is meaningless to worship God without revering one's own parents. First of all, offer worship to your mother as she is the one who has given you birth. It is because of the nobility of the mother that the children attain good fortune. The parents have given you their blood, their wealth and have brought you up with great love and care, sparing no pains. So, you must love your parents and be grateful to them. That is true Bhakti (devotion). There is no greater Bhakti than this.

The Richest Man and the Poorest Man in the World

If you earn the wealth of pure love, you become the richest person in the world. He who is contented is the richest man in the world and the one who has many desires is the poorest man in the world. Today, man is filled with desires from top to toe. As long as one has desires, one can never be happy and peaceful. Give up desires and see for yourself how much love and bliss you get. The bliss you experience will be far superior to all the happiness you have experienced before. All the bliss is within you. But you are imagining that it is outside. What is outside is only the reflection, reaction and resound of what is within you.

The enemies of Man

Sadhana (spiritual practice) must be done with complete faith and without any room for doubt. Cultivate love for God. There is nothing greater than that. As your love grows stronger, the Spirit in you will shine brighter. Spiritual growth calls for restraint on desires. In addition, you also have to get rid of attachments and aversions. The three great enemies of man are Kama (desire), Krodha (anger) and Lobha (greed). Desire destroys devotion, anger annihilates wisdom, and greed poisons every action. These three vices are deleterious to Sath-Karma (good deeds), Upasana (devotion) and Jnana (spiritual wisdom). The only way to get rid of them is to burn them in Prema-Agni (the fire of Divine Love).

பூ….. தலைப்பு ……….. வலைப்பூ…….

இந்த வலைப்பூ ஆரம்பித்த தினத்திலிருந்து தமிழில் ஏதாவது எழுத வேண்டும் என்று ஆசை. அதற்கு நேரம் கிடைக்கவில்லை. இன்று தான் நேரம் கிடைத்தது.

என்ன எழுதலாம் என்று முன்கூட்டியே ஏற்பாடு செய்து நிதானமாக எழுதலாம் என்றால் அதுவும் முடியவில்லை. இப்பொழுது நேரடியாகவே எழுத ஆரம்பித்துவிட்டேன். என்ன தைரியம் !

இந்த வலைப்பூ ஆரம்பிப்பதற்கு என்ன காரணம் ? முதலில் இந்த கணினி வாங்குவதற்கு என்ன காரணம் ? எல்லாம் பணம் தான். சம்பாதிக்க வேண்டி தான் முதலில் கணினி வாங்கினேன். எந்த ஒரு ஜாப் வொர்க்கும் இது நாள் வரை கிடைக்கப்பெறவில்லை. எதோ ஒரு விளம்பரம் பார்த்து 400 ரூபாய் அழுதேன். வேலை கொடுக்காமல் , வலைத்தல முகவரி கொடுத்து அதில் வேலை தேடி கொள்ளுமாறு தகவல் வந்தது. 400 ரூபாய் அம்பேல். சரி வலைப்பூ ஆரம்பித்து அதில் விளம்பரம் வரச் செய்து, அதன் மூலம் வருவாய் கிடைக்கும் என்று பார்த்தால் அதிலும் போதிய முன்னேற்றம் இல்லை. அதில் ஒரு வேடிக்கை என்னவென்றால் தமிழில் எழுதினால் விளம்பரம் வரமாட்டேங்கிறது. எனவே தான் தமிழில் எழுத முடியாமல் போய்விட்டது. அது வலைப்பூ ஆரம்பித்த பொழுதில் அப்படி இருந்தது. இப்பொழுது வலைப்பூ ஆரம்பித்து ஒரு வருடங்களுக்கு மேலாகிவிட்டதால் தமிழில் எழுதினால் விளம்பரம் வரும் என நினைக்கிறேன். இம்ம்... முயற்சி செய்து பார்ப்போம்.

வந்தே மாதரம் !

ஜெய் ஹிந்த் !

ஜெய் சாய் ராம் !

Where is peace?

If you want peace to reign in the world, then you should first develop peace in yourself. Where is peace? It emanates from our heart. The heart is the source of peace, truth, righteousness and love. You are ignoring the heart and are searching for peace in the external world. Only when you fill your heart with love will there be peace in the world. Whatever work you do, do it with love. The world is in turmoil today as man lacks pure love. Peace will reign supreme in this world only when man develops pure love.
Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba

Thought for the day

Attachment to the world can be destroyed only by attachment to the Lord. If you want to adhere to Sathya (truth) and Dharma (righteousness), you must see in every act, the reflection of the Glory of the Atma. Then attachment to the Lord will transmute the attachment to the world in to a pure offering.
Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba

Thought for the day

Developing attachment to persons and possessions is the cause of all sorrow. By reducing attachments and developing love for God, one can reduce misery and experience more happiness. The more one loves God, the more the bliss one experiences. Men are plunged in misery because they hanker after the physical instead of yearning for God. If men transform their desire for material objects into the desire for the Supreme, they will enjoy immense happiness. All that is necessary is to see the Divine in everything. This is true devotion. Work will then turn into worship and every act rendered holy.

Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba

Vacancy

Mind blowing quote:

1)"Although tongue weighs very little, only very few people can hold it"..............

2)Success ladder is never crowded at the Top...

There is competition only at the Bottom.....

There is always vacancy at the Top. So Aim more.

3. Words of Charllie Charplin:

-Nothing is Permanent in this world, not even our troubles.

-I like walking in the rain, because no body can see my tears.

-The most wasted day in life is, the day in which we have not laughed...

Joke:

A Prince was cursed by a witch that he could speak only one word per year. But if he didn't , he could save it for the next year. One day he saw a beautiful princess and fell in love with her. He waited for ten years to say "Darling I Love you. I would like to marry you".

Guess what she replied?

"PARDON"

How to cross the turbulent ocean of Life

One should realize that just as the body can be healthy only so long as the blood is pure, real bliss can be experienced only when the mind is filled with thoughts of God. Divinity cannot be discovered by experiment. To realize this inherent divinity in man the royal path is the path of spirituality. The nine forms of devotion mentioned in the scriptures may not directly reveal God, but they do show the path to God-realization. Of these, chanting the name of the Lord is the simplest. Whatever form of worship, penance or meditation one may adopt, the foundation is the Lord's name. Chanting the Lord's name is essential for crossing the turbulent ocean of life.

Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba

Fill your heart with the fragrance of virtues

You may be performing a number of spiritual practices, but do not feel proud of them. Firstly, purify your heart. Do not give scope for the foul smell of worldly desires. Fill your heart with the fragrance of virtues. You do not get much benefit by merely reading books or listening to discourses. And, what is the use of chanting the Divine Name with a polluted mind? Today the world is afflicted with all types of pollution. Man’s thoughts, words and deeds are also polluted. Make your hearts pure. Develop Shraddha (steadfastness) and Bhakti (devotion) in you, for Shraddhavan Labhate Jnanam (with faith, wisdom is won).

Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba

Find Peace

When you said "Yes" to Me, you gave up the right to be like everyone else. That is why you draw experiences to yourself that will cleanse yourself of that which does not fit who you are. Over and over, again and again, until I make you see that the past no longer works. I challenge you and tempt you every day with your past, so that you may see that the past is the ultimate delusion. When you said "yes" to Me you gave Me your body, your thoughts and your actions. When they don't suit the new you, the uncomfortableness is unbearable. It will be so EVERY time and when you realize this fully, then and only then will you completely give up desire. For this is the only way man will learn. Very seldom does he learn by quiet reminders. Man's desires and pitfalls are placed there so that I may do My work. When you give up totally, then the temptations will fade. I will never give up on you. Every slip will become harder and harder to bear and less easy to remedy. You will tire of your foolishness because I love you and though not completely aware of it, you did say "Yes".
Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba

Where there is faith, there is love Where there is love, there is peace, Where there is peace, there is truth, Where there is truth there is bliss Where there is bliss, there is God.
From the discourses of Sathya Sai Baba

Make your life a rose that sepaks silently in the language of Heart

* Yesterday has deceived you and gone; Tomorrow is a doubtful visitor. Today is a fast friend — hold fast to it.
* A bubble is on water and merges in water. Man is born in God and merges in God.
* A characterless man is like a pot with many holes, useless for carrying water or storing it.
* A clean uncontaminated mind is like a fully blossomed fragrant rose. It refreshes and pleases. It can raise and reach the foot-stool of God in heaven.
* A discontented man is as bad as lost. A man without love is as good as dead.
* A person might be an expert in any field of knowledge or a master of many material skills and accomplishments. But without inner cleanliness his brain is a desert waste.
* A man who has love for God is like the traveller with a ticket; he need not be afraid of any one while making his journey.
* A moment of concentrated prayer from heart is enough to melt and move God; hours of shouting do not count.
* A life of sadhana involves the dedication of all acts to God, the offering of whatever one does or thinks or speaks at the feet of God.
* A healthy body is the best container for a healthy mind. A healthy heart is the temple of God.
* A pure thought from a pure heart is better than a mantra.
* Act as you speak, speak as you feel. Do not play false to your own conscience by forcibly enslaving it and embarking on actions not approved by it.
* A virtuous character is the lamp which illumines the path to peace and joy.
* Act and then advise. Practice first precept next.
* Activity is the keynote of the universe. It must be dedicated to God, the Highest Good.
* Divine is the wine that must intoxicate you.
* Life is the car, your heart is the key,
* God is the chauffeur, Surrender to Him and be rid of further bother,
* Travel safe and arrive happy.
* Life is an opportunity afforded to each not to eat and drink, but to achieve something nobler and higher to merge in the Reality.
* A son has no greater duty, no higher good, than serving his parents. I have come to light the lamp of love in your hearts, to see that it shines day by day with added luster.

I have come not to disturb or destroy any faith, but to confirm each in his own faith - so that the Christian becomes a better Christian, the Muslim, a better Muslim, and the Hindu, a better Hindu.

There is only one religion, the religion of Love;There is only one language, the language of the Heart;There is only one caste, the caste of Humanity; There is only one law, the law of Karma; There is only one God, He is Omnipresent.
Start the Day with Love;Spend the Day with Love;Fill the Day with Love;End the Day with Love;This is the way to God.

You cannot see Me, but I am the Light you see by.You cannot hear Me, but I am the Sound you hear by.You cannot know Me, but I am the Truth by which you live.
The Lord will be watching with a thousand eyes the least activity of man to discover any slight trace of selfless love sweetening it.

Bear all and do nothing;Hear all and say nothing;Give all and take nothing;Serve all and be nothing.

Make your life a rose that speaks silently in the language of the heart.
Hands that help are holier than lips that pray.

Learn to give, not to take. Learn to serve, not to rule.

The Grace of God is like insurance. It will help you in your time of need without any limit.

Action with Love is Right Conduct.Speak with Love and it becomes Truth.Thinking with Love results in Peace.Understanding with Love leads to non-violence.

Yesterday has deceived you and gone, tomorrow is a doubtful visitor. Today is a fast friend, hold fast to it.

Wealth that you hoard is not yours, wealth that you have given is really yours.
Your virtue is your shield, your vice is the weapon that inflicts wounds on you.

From the discourses of Sathya Sai Baba
Love fosters peace, Peace nourishes truth, Truth confers bliss and Bliss is God.

From the discourses of Sathya Sai Baba

Desire leads to ultimate ruin.
It can never be destroyed by fulfillment.
Dispel desire.

Evolution

Each one of you has struggled upward from the stone to a plant,
From the plant to an animal,
From the animal to a man.
Do not slide into an animal.
Rise higher to divinity
Shining with the new effulgence of love.

From the discourses of Sathya Sai Baba

Realise the truth and be free

If you see yourself in all
and all in you,
Then you have known the Reality.

From the discourses of Sathya Sai Baba

You and the Universal are one;
You and the Absolute are one;
You and the Eternal are one;
You are not the individual, the temporary;
Realise this truth and be free.
You are flowers in God’s garden
You are stars in God’s sky.
You are the breath of God. It is through him that you are alive, active and aware.
You can find the footprints of God wherever there is beauty, virtue, humility, justice, truth, love and peace. You can hear the footsteps of God when silence reigns in the mind.
You have come from God.
You are a part of His glory;
You are a wave of that ocean of bliss;
You will get peace only when you again merge in Him.
You have the Lord dwelling in the core of your being; Yet you are bound, miserable, limited, weak and agitated. Why? You are ignorant of your spiritual Reality.
You may worship the picture of God but you should not worship god as a picture.
You must give up the luggage of your desires and wishes and thus make life less burdensome.
You must surrender your judgement to the Lord. Then Lord will assume full responsibility.
You should not pray to God for secular advantages. You should pray only for grace.

From the discourses of Sathya Sai Baba
I am in You
You are in Me
There is no distance or distinction.
From the discourses of Sathya Sai Baba
I am in your hearts,
You are in Mine.
Don't be misled
Into doubt and distress.
From the discourses of Sathya Sai Baba

Thought for the day

Philosophy that cannot be understood, scriptures that are not practised, the present world is full of these. It is a waste of time to talk of them. Real change must be made in the daily conduct and behaviour of man, for these are within the experience of all. They can be easily practised and their purpose grasped. In every little activity and word, one should discriminate and adopt the best. That is the sign of the genuine Sadhaka (spiritual aspirant).

Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba

Thought for the day

The Atma is formless. It is separate from the body that it inhabits. The body is subject to birth, growth and decay, but the Atma is free from all this. The Atma has no desires, no impulses, no cravings. It is above and beyond all the attributes. The Prakrithi (creation) is the ocean. Purusha (creator) is as a lotus on water, unaffected, unattached and unruffled.
Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba

Thought for the day

Merely theoretically knowing Brahman (Divinity) leads to nowhere. You may even know that there is Ananda or bliss in this. All this is of no use. You have to dedicate your life to win that bliss; enter upon the discipline needed to acquire it and experience it. Only then do you deserve the grace of the Lord and the attainment of Brahman. Only then can you experience true Ananda.
