Great Wisdom

The greatest achievement is selflessness

The greatest worth is self mastery

The greatest quality is seeking to serve others

The greatest precept is continual awareness.

The greatest medicine is the emptiness of everything

The greatest action is transmuting the passions.

The greatest generosity is non-attachment.

The greatest goodness is a peaceful mind

The greatest patience is humility.

The greatest effort is not concerned with result

The greatest meditation is a mind that let go.

The greatest wisdom is seeing through appearance.

Treat your life as a sea, your heart as seashore, and friends like waves. It never matters how many waves are there. What matters is how many waves touched the seashore.

Time –Playful

Time is the most playful element because it lengthens the minutes when you wait for someone, and rushes the hours when you enjoy special moments with them

The companion of Trees.

The place occupied in our lives by the company of trees is closely knit into your relationship with Mother Nature. Most of us , at sometime have known what it was to develop a love-tie with a particular tree. It was the palm you passed every morning as you made your way trough the local park. It was the lilac tree in your own back garden which every Spring used to tap on your shoulder with a spray of purple blossom , as if drawing attention to itself in its “finest hour” or there was that old Banyan from which you drew new strength when the widen was wild and the winter bleak. These were more than compassion; they had become friends, always thee to hold out their own gift to meet your special need. Courtesy wisdom

Happy the man who early learns the wide chasm that lies between his wishes and his powers!

God has two dwellings; one is heaven , and the other in a meek and thankful heart

More than half of the difficulties of the world would be allayed or removed by the exhibition of good temper

.

Quote from the true Charm and Power of Vedanta

Breaking the bondages of all, the chains of all, declaring liberty to all to reach the highest goal, come the words of Gita, rolls like thunder the mighty voice of Krishna: “Even in this life they have conquered relativity, whose minds are firmly fixed upon the sameness, for God is pure and the same to all, therefore such are  said to be living in ‘God’” “Thus seeing the same Lord equally present everywhere , the sage does not injure the Self by the self , and thus reaches the highest goal.  – Swami Vivekanda

Devoted to his own duty , a man attains perfection. Listen how one engage in one’s own duty attains perfection. From whom proceeds the activity of all beings and by whom all this is pervaded- worshipping Him through his own duty a man attains perfection

One who follows the duties dictated by one’s natural disposition (Swabhava) will be free from the bondage of those actions, and will gradually reach the state of freedom from Gunas when Jnana and Bhakti are generated in him.

Pay as much attention to means as to the end. Work is worship

A person with worldly attachments will experience troubles even in the forest; living at home with all the sense under control is taps or spiritual austerity, For one who is engaged in unblemished actions, and free from attachment, the very home becomes a topovanam a Heaven.

But, if He exists? 

I drive joy There was a doctor in Benaras who spent 7 minutes in the morning and evening for mediation on God. Knowing this, his colleagues and friends laughed at him. One day they argued that he was wasting ten precious minutes on something, which he had been misled into believing. The doctor replied, “Well, if God does not exist, I agree that I am wasting ten minutes a day. But if He exists? I am afraid you are wasting your entire lifetime. I prefer to waste ten minutes rather than a lifetime. Why should you grudge me the 10 minutes joy that I derive 4m.

Creative Discipline

Creative Discipline

As  a scholar said the voice of parents is the voice of gods. for, to their children they are heaven’s lieutenants. The present day children raise their brows when we advocate what the playwright had stated. Hence the differences of opinion between parents and their wards.

There always will be a battle between authority and freedom of thought . its variation in the household is the authority of the parents versus freedom of expression the children emphasis’, children have hope and the future on their side: adults on their.

Open-mindedness and understanding sans punishment strengthens the relationship between parents and children. Parents must give good example and inspire reverential attitude in children. And all those instances of charity which endear each other-sweetness of conversation, affability, frequent admonition-all significations of love and tenderness, care and watchfulness must be expressed.

Towards children; that they may look upon their parents as their friends and patrons, their defense and sanctuary, their treasure and their guide.

The affability of parents is also a kind of discipline executed on the child, who secretly craves guidance, though defiant the child appears.

Discipline is more a test of the adult who uses it then of the child who receives it. Understanding and self-respect are the guiding keys to creative  discipline. These values will reach a child’s heart, letting him know that the effort is to guide creatively without ill will. Creative discipline creates a partnership between parent and child. It establishes meeting between the self-respects of the adult, who has already made mistakes and the self –respect of the youngster who will make mistakes. In creating this atmosphere of friendship and companionship. Discipline reaches its goal. The adult is able to hold on to his self-respect and so is the child.

We , as adults must control the emotions that make us fall-fear and anger and use the emotions that make us successful hopes and fears, ardent wishes and anxious apprehensions are twisted together in the threads that connect the parent with the child.  Courtesy Wisdom

Quote from the True charm and power of Vedanta

Let me give you an illustration. You can look at a canvas and there find mountains, lakes , canyons , and the sky-everything painted in life like manner. Looking at this picture you see profound depths and great heights, and yet it is nothing but a thin piece of canvas , just  a very thin canvas. You can pick it up and take it away. Then all the mountains, heights, and depths disappear. In the same way this world seems vast to you, and it seems to arise from some profound cause, or chain of causes. But that is just another mistake, tracing everything to a cause.  Courtesy When the many become one A view of vedanta
