What goes around comes around

Few days back I happen to take a wrong route , but through that wrong way I could discover one more short Cut . Similarly in life , sometimes we would have taken wrong paths knowingly or unknowingly but they would have taught us valuable lessons so that we don't make same mistakes again. So don't think too much about it and move ahead.

Heard a interesting talk , where  they were telling about Karmic account . That our life is based on Karmic account. So we don not have much control on what has happened in past . But the present is in our control . So lets create good account so that it doesn't affect us in the Future . Lets not create any bad account by means of words or thoughts or action to anyone  .What goes around comes around  . As you sow , so you reap .

Think Twice before Speaking

We need to think twice before talking  something . This article  explains it well .Link posted below .

http://www.womensweb.in/2014/12/marriage-and-pregnancy/

Unknowingly or knowingly , we talk things which hurt others . Little awareness can go a long way .
Lets be very careful in words which we use . Sometimes people can be very irritating , but still we need to remain cool .

During art excel program , Children  were taught about losing . We are always taught to win .No one teaches us what to do when we lose . We need to be stable . Sometimes you win and sometimes you make others Win . Either way you should be happy rather than getting a high when you win and going low when you lose . 

We need to let go of people who don't respect us or who are friends with us  only if we we do something to them . We need to know the difference between real friends and false ones.

Drama of Life

Volunteering for Art excel program ( Workshop for Kids) is a amazing experience . Being with Kids feels like a child again . Best way to spend my vacation .

Beautiful article in Times of India regarding wonderful gifts we can give ourselves . Every time  we think of gifting others .This new year , lets gift ourselves  .Link posted below .

http://www.speakingtree.in/spiritual-articles/new-age/wonderful-gifts-we-can-give-ourselves

Another interesting thing which I heard today was  early morning ( just after we get up ) amd late night ( just before we go to sleep ) . Lets not feed our mind anything negative . It could be in the form of news , newspaper or television serials or movies . Lets instead feed something positive . It could be a good book which inspires us or a good audio program which uplifts us .

Participating in fashion show was a fun  experience . Can we do the same in real life also ? Lets be a witness to everything rather than getting so much attached to things and people . Lets play our role wisely , giving our 100% . It could be the role of employee or a employer or a daughter or a son or a friend whatever it is . Lets just play our part in the drama of life not worrying too much and remaining stable .

Merry Christmas

Yesterday my cab driver was asking me what s the significance of Christmas , I told him its just another festival  which is the birthday of Jesus Christ. Digging deep later , even I was thinking about its significance and  who better than Sri Sri to answer my query and I think I got my perfect answer .

Another beautiful poem which my colleague had written for Christmas . Posting it here .

Christmas… A Real One..

This Life...Is it Worth Living This Life...
Did any hour, any minute, any second has had its worth...

             Joy to the World the Lord is Come..
            Lets Make This Christmas a Real Fun. ....

Lets Bring a Smile on a Child's Face..,
Who never had a Christmas Cake.

           Lets Make an Old Man Cross a Street.,
           Who never had the Santa's Treat.

Lets Make a Girl go to School.,
And break the Rigid Rules...

        Lets Laugh with an Old Couple.,
       Love them like an Angel.

Lets Ring the Jingle Bell..
In the House of a Poor Men...

      Lets Make this Christmas 
       Make a Real Difference.

Author,  Neha Donald 

"Christmas celebrations bring lights, joy and love at that time of the year when nature is still and silent. This symbolizes the message that love springs forth when the mind goes within, in stillness and silence.

When the crying and dependent child (little mind) rests in the lap of the mother (big mind or the universal self), that is heavenly peace or meditation.
This is the eternal message of christmas.

There is much to be done to spread waves of peace and happiness, the real gifts of Christmas! Let us share these gifts with the world!  "-Sri Sri 

Enthusiasm

Had a amazing Session with Bau or Bawa on Sunday , He is one of the senior most teachers of AOL . There is never a boring moment when he is around . He is one person who is so full of energy and enthusiasm . I did learn yesterday never to put cold water on anybody s enthusiasm . 
We should be someone who never loses  our smile or enthusiasm , come what may . Not an easy task though .

Bau was telling in this time , getting to find calm  state of mind after doing half an hour of SKY ( Sudarshan Kriya ) is itself a miracle.Take life as a game . We need to get over the fear of failing and move ahead . He was telling most of the Non Government Organizations today treat you only if you are insane , alcoholic , smoker etc . But AOL is for normal people like you and me who are sane .You  don't have to be in depression to do AOL course .Its for normal people who want to experience a different high.

If you always wanted to do something nice for your kids or your cousins . Wonderful opportunity is here . Amazing Course for Kids . Details in the pic below .Do enroll them . Best gift you can give them .

It is easier said than done

One of my friend s whatsapp Status  is " It is easier said than done " . It is kind off true . Still a beautiful article on heart break by one of my favorite writers Vinita Dawra Nangia . Link to the post mentioned below .

http://blogs.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/O-zone/to-heal-a-broken-heart/

In radio  , I was listening to a program where they were telling about EX BOX . I repeat ex box not  the game . Is it good to have a box with old memories , snaps etc . I personally think its a bad Idea .Its better to delete everything and Move on . Start fresh focusing on the present rather than hanging on to the past.

Some of the lines from the post

"Well, to begin with, it is important to understand that the heart never gets broken; it may get chipped, but most often the chip you are dealing with is on your shoulder"

"The secret then to moving on is to focus on what was always wrong with the relationship, rather than what was good about it. It was bad for you, so it broke; relationships that are good for us seldom break in this manner."

The rest of the tricks to moving on are known to all :

 immerse yourself in work and hobbies; 

hang out with friends;

count your blessings;

list the things and people important to your well-being; 

boost your morale, 

and re-energise yourself by looking your best, 

walking your tallest and acting your most confident.

"Forgive the one who betrayed you, but do not forget the betrayal. Give up on the relationship ­ but never give up on love."

It happens for a Reason

Latest book which I read is " It happens for a Reason " by Preeti Shenoy .  Must read book . Very well written . Somewhere all of us can relate a lot to it . Lot of things happen in our life , sometimes we never realize why but later someday it unfolds itself . Everything happens for a reason . Believe in it .

   Like how we maintain our physical hygiene , we need to maintain Spiritual Hygiene . Yoga ,Pranayams take care of Spiritual Hygiene .  We  can imagine our life with 2 gardens . One garden is the materialistic garden and the other one is Spiritual Garden . Most of us take care of the materialistic Garden . We work on our career , make money sometimes even forget family and friends . Other Garden is the Spiritual Garden which we tend to ignore . We don't reflect on whats happening in our life. Life should be combination of both . Both needs to balanced well . We need to take care of our spiritual as well as materialistic garden .

 So many diseases  like depression , heart diseases etc  today are because we haven't taken care of our Spiritual Needs . Lets have a balance of both .

 "Not all the problems you have in life are because of some past life karma, quite a few are because of your stupidity in this life!" -Sri Sri 

Random Thoughts

Too many thoughts going on in my mind . Some call me a dreamer or a thinker , but I like to reflect upon everything . First of all , I would like to share a video .

http://www.scoopwhoop.com/inothernews/her-life-her-choices/?ref=social&type=fb&b=0

This Titan Ad  truly definitely represents today s girl . She knows what she wants and she will get it . No one can take her for a ride .

Another video which I watched recently regarding giving way to ambulance . We need to give way for ambulance and save a life .Link to video posted below

Attended a beautiful Satsang with Guruji yesterday , Some Insights from that

Be Natural and don't lose your smile for anything 

Be of use to many people  

Size of Solar plexus can be increased by meditation . Solar Plexus represents stability . Bigger  the solar plexus , more stable you are .

Don't hold on to judgement . People and Situations change 

Add ghee to rice while having so that it doesn't convert to immediate sugar and can prevent diabetes . 

Yogathon

Surya Namaskar or Sun Salutation , its a beautiful yogasana which I have been learning from School . I think all schools should make Yoga Mandatory  . Didn't realize the value of it  then , but today it becomes much Clearer . If you want to learn it , do join for a Yogathon on December 14 , 2014 . More details mentioned below .

If you have been thinking of weight loss , then this is the best way .

Let Go

“The truth is, unless you let go, unless you forgive yourself, unless you forgive the situation, unless you realize that the situation is over, you cannot move forward.” 
― Steve Maraboli, Unapologetically You: Reflections on Life and the Human Experience

Many times we have heard it to let go . Sometimes it becomes really difficult to let go of things . May be because of security , comfort in it. We know its not the best thing for us but we still hang on to it. It could be a relationship which is not going anywhere or a job which is not meaningful , whatever  it is , it is important to let go .

Even in a circus trapeze , person performing has to let go of one rope to hold on to another . Similarly in life too , we need to let go of certain things to hold on to new things . If our fists are closed  , we can't catch hold of other stuffs. We  need to let it go to hold new opportunities .  Initially it mite be little scary , but its worth it .

How to Live

Couldn't stop sharing it . Its such a beautiful video . We need to watch it again and again to get a grip of it . Link posted below

http://www.ndtv.com/article/offbeat/this-beautiful-letter-from-a-grandfather-is-a-lesson-on-how-to-live-629805?via=whatsapp

Some habits which can be annoying , Sometimes we may do it unknowingly , lets at least be aware of it.

1. Talking loudly on phone . I know sometimes we may not realize how disturbing it can get to the other person . So consciously lets make an effort to go away somewhere and then talk . If you can't move away , talk softly .

2.Seeing your phone or messaging  when someone is talking to you . If its  so essential , do excuse yourself and then do the needful . We need to give 100% to other individual who is talking unless and until the other person is boring you.

3.Being Rude to People : I'm  not saying we should be very sweet and all . But we need to be little more polite to people . We never know what each one is going through . Sometimes unknowingly we become rude in social media  like whatsapp , Facebook  because we can't see the individuals  . So be more careful on what words you use .

4. Stop Cribbing and Complaining : Again we may not realize how much we are doing it . One day probably we can have a check on it .

5. Talking too much : We talk , talk and talk . Lets learn to be silent some time and listen to our inner voices which has all the answers to our problems .We keep on asking one and all without realizing we can provide the best solutions since we know the problem well.  .

Here and There

One of my friend was stating that one of her colleague is having attitude . She doesn't smile back at her and she is little disappointed about it. Probably something which all of us have faced . There are some people however good we are to them , they remain  like that. I told her just forget about it and move on  . We can't make everyone to like us . Instead Focus on developing yourself . Be physically , mentally and Spiritually Healthy . Its more important to work towards your goal and try to make this place a better place to live .

Some tips on Relationship which I found it very fruitful from the book Tuedays with Morrie by Mitch Albom.

There are a few rules I know to be true about love and marriage: 

If you don't respect the other person, you're gonna have a lot of trouble.

 If you don't know how to compromise, you're gonna have a lot of trouble.

 If you can't talk openly about what goes on between you, you're gonna have a lot of trouble. 

And if you don't have a common set of values in life, you're gonna have a lot of trouble. Your values must be alike.

Protect Yourself

I was little upset by some people s behavior but then whats the point in being upset . Better solution  is protecting ourselves . Its like if a flood comes , Government  takes lot of precaution steps to prevent floods but a better solution would be to protect from disasters rather than just floods . May be next time , it could be a earth quake . Similarly we need to protect  ourselves from creating hurt  because of so  and so person etc . Life is not meant for that .  We can't keep begging everyone to speak nicely . How  many people can we go around telling ? Please speak to me well else I ll create hurt.

There are lots of things going on each person s mind and we never know about it . They mite speak  rudely . It has nothing to do with you .   Protect yourself and don't be upset for other people s behavior . Move on . Don't interfere too much in other people s lives unless they want you to involve . Don't give your opinions freely . In case if they ask you , you can share stating its your opinion but they can choose to do  whatever they would like to do.

“Each night, when I go to sleep, I die. And the next morning, when I wake up, I am reborn.”

Today s Generation

I had read this blog  whose link is given below a few years back  written by Vinita Dawra , probably that day it didn't make sense . But was just going through again . I'm not here to judge if its right and wrong . Who decides what is right or wrong ? What is right for me may not be right for you . It can vary from place to place , religion to religion . But something to think about .

http://blogs.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/O-zone/a-conversation-with-today-s-girl/

Lets again not be judgmental about anyone . Each person has the right to follow what he or she wants . Moral Policing should be done in each one s consciousness . At the end of the day , commitment and honesty has its own values  . Once you are committed to someone , stick to that person. Don't keep on jumping from one relationship to another . If you can't be happy with one  person , you can't be happy with anyone unless and until there is a serious need to break up. Relationships do require time and understanding . We are mature individuals and  need to take individual responsibility .

I'm completely against cheating in a relationship  .Article by  Preeti Shenoy  on it  .Link posted below . If you are in relationship , stick to it , no matter what happens. If you want to be with someone else , leave the relationship completely and then go ahead .Never  cheat . Be a one man or one woman person as said  in Jab we Met Movie .

Cuteness Personified

This is so damn cute . Interesting article regarding Kids . Couldn't stop sharing the link here

http://mommygolightly.wordpress.com/2014/11/27/all-i-needed-to-know-about-children-i-learnt-from-cats/

Some of the other stuffs  and facts regarding children

1.Never compare children with siblings or friends . Each one is different or Unique . Comparing them makes them really bad . Their self esteem is developed in the initial years , so comparison affects their self esteem .

2. Never put pressure on them to study or for anything . No one works best under pressure. Tell them to put in their best efforts and you don't really care about the marks scored . Do mean what you say .

3. Whatever you asked them to do , please do follow it . If you ask them to be disciplined ,  be punctual , speak the Truth , follow the same .

Truth

“The truth is, once you learn how to die, you learn how to live.” 
― Mitch Albom, Tuesdays with Mor

Truth can be sometimes contradictory . It is sometimes better not to say . The above picture says it all . For the greater good and benefit of more people ,  its better not to blurt out .  Forget about it and move on . Don't have any regrets . Even if you have done wrong things in past , forgive yourself and go on .

Currently reading a book called " Tuesdays With Morrie " by Mitch Albom  . Excellent book which speaks about life and death . It speaks about  the importance of love , family  and the art of dying which we most of the time ignore

"Don't let go too soon, but don't hold on too long.” 
― Mitch Albom, Tuesdays with Morrie
Sometimes we should know where to let go and where to hold on . When you understand that , you are mature enough .

"Don't cling to things because everything is impermanent.” 

― Mitch Albom, Tuesdays with Morrie

Sometimes we cling a lot to people , situations , job etc . We have to realize that everything is impermanent . 

“So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they're busy doing things they think are important. This is because they're chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.” 
― Mitch Albom, Tuesdays with Morrie

Every sentence in this book is beautiful . I wish to paste everything here but I can't do it  .Its best to read the book  . Some more of the quotes can be found in the link below.

DRAIN

Some people can be a drain in your life . They just drain your energy . If you know any of them , be aware . Some people can lift you up and some people can put you down . Ones who put you down are the DRAINS.

Another category of people can also be put into it . Those who make use of you and be friends only if you are useful to them or during your happy times . Be aware of such people also. Those who make use of you like a tissue paper and throw you in Bin.

Learnings

34 bubblegums and candies by Preeti Shenoy , latest book which I read . Truly beautiful and Inspiring . Lot of learning's . Must Read . Have been watching a few inspiring Videos .Some of the key learning's  mentioned below .

1. Laugh More 

Seriously have people who make you laugh . I'm lucky to have lot of people around me . So treasure those people if you have any .

2. Associate with great Minds 

People whom we associate , we start thinking like them . So be aware with whom you associate .

3. Spend some time in Solitude .

Greatest Ideas come to you when you are alone .

4. Change your beliefs .Change from Victim attitude to leadership attitude.

How to get over someone who doesn't love you

Again Preeti Shenoy rocks . Amazing blog on How to get over someone who doesn't love you
Link posted below

 http://blog.preetishenoy.com/2014/11/how-to-get-over-someone-who-does-not.html

Some of the other things which really help are .

1. Do the Art of living Course .

2. Find someone who loves you . There are more than a billion people around . You deserve a much better person

I still don't understand How can you like someone who doesn't like you . If the person is no more , then its a different Story . But that also can be handled in a better way .

When your dear ones are abroad and when they call you , we tell them everything is fine here even if there are few issues. Similarly  when someone has left the body , we need to be  stable and send vibrations of peace , love . This in turn will help them settle in new birth .  Instead if we are in pain , it will create disturbance in their lives . So lets accept the situation and send them vibrations of peace and love .

Whats the purpose of my life

Interesting read about the Purpose of Life

http://bawandinesh.name/whats-the-purpose-of-my-life/

Again and again , we need to keep asking ourselves . Probably one day it mite be clear . At least its not to get into meaningless relationships . This picture  says it all . If you have any meaningless relationships , don't continue it

Gift yourself

Read a article today in paper that vegans weigh less than non vegetarians . So the best way to lose weight ... GO  VEG  !!!!

I was talking  to a colleague other day who smokes regularly . I asked him what do you get by Smoking ?? And Immediately he posed a question to me "What do I get by Shopping ? "  It mite seem a smart answer . But you only lose money when you shop ,  you lose your health and Money when you smoke .

Majority of the problems  in  the country like rape etc are caused due to drinking . People lose their senses when they drink . If you are one among those who drink or smoke ,Don't worry  ,there is a solution .Trust Me .

 Details of the course  mentioned below . Do register or  get your near ones registered . Its best gift which you can give them or yourself .

Women Empowerment

Beautiful video on Women Empowerment by Lata Mangeshkar and AR Rahman . Link Posted below. Worth watching it .Woman aren't weak . She has the power to achieve anything .

http://www.storypick.com/ar-rahman-lata-mangeshkar-song/

Sometimes today s women become so vulnerable for whatever reasons. She should take a oath that she wouldn't be weak and would never allow anyone to walk over her. She should be strong enough to fight injustice and not be a victim to any guy . She shouldn't get into a relationship if the guy isn't serious and not ready for commitment .

During one of the AOL sessions , I was told to do a self study and write my life story and give 5 advice to myself . I won't put my life story , will put 5 advice here

1. Be strong . Never fall prey to your weaknesses .

2. Don't be a victim to circumstances and take action when required .

3. Don't have too much junk food and exercise regularly.

4. Don't waste too much time complaining , cribbing and social media .

5. Be happy and make others happy . 

White Tiger

“See, the poor dream all their lives of getting enough to eat and looking like the rich. And what do the rich dream of?? Losing weight and looking like the poor.” 
― Aravind Adiga, The White Tiger

Latest Book which I read is White Tiger by Arvind Adiga .It kept me hooked  on . Really Interesting Read .Had a great time reading it . It bought tears to my eyes . It depicts the real India which we usually don't see or which we cover it. Corruption , bribery is everywhere . Rather than complaining, we need to make  a change . We should not encourage it in any way and bring as much awareness as possible .

It is also how the rich treat the poor and lot of other interesting stuffs . Definitely a good read .  I read somewhere that people who read are much smarter than others . So here goes another reason for you to read . Another thing which I learnt from the story is "Keep your eyes and ears always open " .We get to learn a lot from that .

“It's amazing. The moment you show cash, everyone knows your language.” 
― Aravind Adiga, The White Tiger

 “I was looking for the key for years
But the door was always open” 
― Aravind Adiga, The White Tiger

Happy Children s day

There's a child in me 
There's a child in you
You thought you were grown ups,
But it was actually the child in you,who was molded these  many years
Wishing that child a Happy children s day.
Be a blessing and  an example to each child you meet -Sri Sri 

Soul to Soul Communication is Silence

" Love is the greatest Power on Earth " -Sri Sri

I realized Soul to Soul Communication is Silence  . 5 days of  of Silence in Ashram  .It was an  awesome experience .  Advanced course in ashram with Guruji . Completely free from  mobile and outside communication. It is recommended twice a year . Seriously everyone needs to  do it to feel rejuvenated . Thanks to Doctor Nisha Manikantan , Doctor Manikantan who were amazing teachers during Session and of course Guruji whom I have no words to thank.

Do join us for a reconnect session on 15th and 16th November in Bangalore Ashram .  You will know what I'm taking about .

Weaknessess

Had been to temple on Tuesday  . Again reinforcing myself , why do we go to temples . Usually we go ending up begging something .  Lets  for a change go to temples or Satsangs to reduce our weaknesses . Each person has a different weakness and we need to work on it . I'm not gonna blurt out my weaknesses here , but you can drop a comment and let me know what are you doing about your weaknesses .

Moment of Truth

“The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it.”

― Albert Einstein

Awesome Saturday with Shreya Ghosal at Neotown , Electronic City . She rocked the floor with her amazing numbers . Thanks to a friend for the complementary passes . This was  the second concert I'm attending after Neeti Mohan . Both of them are amazing performers . 

Had a good session with happiness course participants  yesterday where we were highlighted the importance of Responsibility . Lets take responsibility for all our actions . 

Another Beautiful video about Responsibility . MUST  WATCH  . This video won the YES Foundation  award and was one of 10 films selected from more than 1900 that were entered for the competition! Link posted below.

J as in Jealousy

Read an interesting blog  about  jealousy . Sharing the link below

http://anoptimistic.wordpress.com/2014/10/31/j-for-something-i-have-not-written-about-since-long

There will be some people who don't like you or are jealous of you for whatever reasons . You don't have to think too much about it.  It has nothing to do with you . You can't keep impressing everyone .
We are  not Facebook status that everyone should like us . As long as you aren't doing anything wrong and not hurting anyone intentionally , we are on right track .

We are not hear to prove others . As long we are improving ourselves and working on our weaknesses, that is more  important .

People are really mean sometimes . They just make use of your goodness.


Another Cute Ad which I have seen  long back  , but today it gave another meaning . When I felt  people are mean . This ad really bought a smile on my face .

https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10200355019093946&set=vb.298263893598732&type=2&theater


 I started with a bitter feeling , but ending on a happy note . Lets not be judgmental .  If people are mean , lets not be like them . They are teaching us a lesson not to be like them .

Think about it

Listening to a radio program   , one of my favourite program which RJ Prutvi hosts  on Radio One .  .He was telling  Celebrate Everything . Can we start doing that ? Celebrating Everything , Every moment . I know there are difficult times but still whats the point in cribbing about if you can't do anything about it .

Yesterday a colleague of mine was telling , someone snatched her iphone when she was walking , he came in a bike , grabbed it . Whats happening in our country ?? In Japan , even if a phone is lying down for few days , nobody touches it . Probably something to think about .

Another video which really made me think . Link posted below .

https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=594224400707283

Can we ask our boys not to make our girls cry ??? I know a lot of guys who have made girls cry .
Something to really ponder .

Another story which I heard in radio today ,   where a gay was arrested for cheating a woman . He married her and didn't reveal the fact that he is a gay . For whatever reasons , its not acceptable . I heard the woman speak to  the RJ today and her condition was pathetic . Glad , she raised her voice and complained . Else it could be happening everyday  . Even I know someone who got married this way . Its really sad . For whatever reasons , they shouldn't hide this fact and spoil a girl s life .

Keep yourself busy

Someone asked Guruji how to overcome  obsessions, lust and desires  and Sri Sri Beautifully answers it by saying keep yourself so occupied that you don't have time to think of such stuffs ,
Nothing should be in excess . It wastes a lot of energy and it can be conserved for  much useful purposes .

When you have lot of free time , all these things bother you . When you have a exam or playing a sport , these things don't even come right...So True !!!

Very well said ..One of the best knowledge which I have read .

So next time you get such thoughts ," KEEP YOURSELF BUSY IN GOOD STUFFS "

Be optimistic

Read this story somewhere , thought of posting it here

A jobless man applied for the position of 'office boy' at Microsoft.
The HR manager interviewed him, then gave him a test: clean the floor. The man passed the test with flying colors.
"You are hired," HR manager informed the applicant, "give me your e-mail address, and I'll send you the application for employment, as well as the date you should report for work.
The man replied " I don't have a computer, or an email!"
"I'm sorry," said the HR manager. "If you don't have an email, that means you do not exist. And we cannot hire persons who do not exist."

The man was very disappointed.
He didn't know what to do. He only had $10 with him. Once that is spent, he won't have any money to buy any food.
He went to the supermarket and bought a crate of tomatoes with his $10.
He went from door to door and sold the tomatoes in less than two hours. He doubled his money.
He repeated the operation three times, and returned home with $60. He realized that he can survive this way. He started to go everyday earlier, and return late.
He doubled or tripled his money every day. Soon, he bought a cart, then a truck. In a very short time, he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles.
Five years later, the man became one of the biggest food retailers in the U. S. He started to plan his family's future, and decided to have a life insurance.
He called an insurance broker, and chose a protection plan.
At the end of the conversation, the broker asked him for his email address.
The man replied: ' I don't have an email.'
The broker was dumbfounded. "You don't have an email, and yet have succeeded in building an empire. Can you imagine what you could have been if you had an email?," he exclaimed.
The man thought for a while, and replied, "an office boy at Microsoft!"

"If you just lost your Job or Just failed an Interview Don't worry be Optimistic..... Good days are on the way and something better is reserved for you." 

Happy Diwali

"Happy Diwali  ". Any festival is a time for new beginning and resolutions . This Diwali , some of my resolutions are

1. To be in present moment rather than regretting about past or worrying about the future.

2. To work more smarter  to reach my goals .

3. To be useful to more people around me .

4. To be grateful for everything .

5. To crib and  complain less .

6. To accept people and situations as they are rather than trying to change.

7. Not to get into arguments with anyone. People have their opinions and we can't change them. Not to be judgmental about it.

8.To enjoy every moment to the fullest .

9. Not to be lazy and not to waste time on unnecessary stuffs.

Consciousness

Had a amazing day  yesterday with Sahaj Samadhi Meditation session with Dinesh Bhaiyya  in ashram . Followed by long kriya , then an amazing session with Anandji with new DSN participants.  Loved each and everything of yesterday  . All these made me take one Resolution .

"I wouldn't do anything against my consciousness.  Society defines  what is right and wrong  .I'm not thinking too much of it . But  if something pricks my consciousness , then I won't  be doing it"

It could be small lie or whatever  but if I feel its not right , then I won't do it and if I feel something is right , then I will do it .

Heard a beautiful story yesterday where a boy was drowning in water and a person rescued him . Boy was very grateful to person and told him a  lot of thanks . That Person  told I have saved your life and now make your life worth saving . Lets strive to make our life worth living rather than living a life of mediocrity.

We get disturbed by smallest of small things . Lets not take everybody s garbage and put it on ourselves . We need to strive to live a better life and remain happy .

Success

When I had been for a break with a colleague , I was telling something about my skin . He immediately told me don't care about skin and all , think only about success . Somehow those words keep echoing with me . I felt its kind off true . We worry about petty stuffs , but we need to see the bigger picture . Definition of success may vary from person from person . Whatever he meant , according to me  Success is able to achieve whatever you want  and not being restless , where your mind and body are in your control . Its a  feeling of contentment .

When your mind is not stressed , we are much calmer and can make better decisions .  We can achieve what we intended to . We can get rid of our weaknesses and addictions.

"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary." -Steve Jobs

Beautiful Knowledge

I used to keep asking myself what I want from Life and Sri Sri gave a perfect answer for it . Guruji says don't keep asking what you want from life , Just ask what you can do to make this a better place to live . We sometimes keep thinking , what I want and spoil our peace of mind . This knowledge  just changes the way you think.

I even read something about  Karma , when someone asked Guruji what is good karma and bad Karma . Sri Sri told bad karma is something  which you don't want others to do it to you , you don't do that to others and one which gives short term pleasure and long term pain is bad karma and one which gives short term pain and long term happiness accounts to good karma . This is such a beautiful knowledge .

Another beautiful thing which I read was about mistakes . We tend to keep finding intentions behind others mistakes . I was recently told about an African tribe that does a most beautiful thing .
When someone does something hurtful and wrong, they take the person to the center of town, and the entire tribe comes and surrounds him. For two days they’ll tell the man every good thing he has ever done.

The tribe believes that every human being comes into the world as GOOD, each of us desiring safety, love, peace, happiness.

But sometimes in the pursuit of those things people make mistakes. The community sees misdeeds as a cry for help.

They band together for the sake of their fellow man to hold him up, to reconnect him with his true Nature, to remind him who he really is, until he fully remembers the truth from which he’d temporarily been disconnected: “I AM GOOD”

This is really so beautiful . We keep on blaming others and ourselves for the mistakes done .Probably we should start practicing it .
