Thought for the day

Solitude Vs Renunciation

2007-09-27T10:44:00.000+05:30

I always kind of enjoy solitude, when I am alone is the best time for me to think and sort out my priorities.... Not all of us may be lucky to get time alone in these days of madness and hurry. But those lucky few who can get an hour to themselves daily, I believe can be very serene.

But should solitude turn into renunciation. People leave their homes and join Monastries, they live in the mountains far from human habitation......do you think these people can completely detatch themselves from the world?.... do you think that was God's purpose for us on earth?

I atleast beg to differ, I believe that Gods mission for us here on earth is - to be a part of a society and do our best to be productive and useful to others.

Or more precisely, I think the most important thing is for eachone to find what Gods mission is for himself/herself, and implementing it in the best possible way.

Better ask

2007-09-11T17:42:00.000+05:30

It has often happened to me, when I do not understand something I end up just pretending I know. Most of the times I end up making a fool of myself. It is always better to ask if you are ignorant rather than pretend.

Persevere

2007-09-04T13:48:00.000+05:30

You may have tried many a times and failed...dont give up. Try different ways of doing the same thing. For a person who perseveres, success is just round the corner.

Satisfaction

2007-09-03T13:38:00.000+05:30

Most people are never satisfied. Each person should ask themselves -" Is it because I am deficient in any thing? or can't I see what I already have? or do the people around me have more than I do?". I believe God never gives everything to everyone. So if I am deficient in something, I surely am blessed with abundance of something else.

Complete forgiveness.

2006-12-01T15:29:00.000+05:30

Forgiveness should be complete, but if your experience can tech you a lesson do remember that. Never let yourself be hurt the same way over and over again. In short “Forgive and Forget” but never forget completely.

Take the first step.

2006-11-30T10:07:00.000+05:30

Never feel ashamed to ask forgiveness or take that first step. It may seem awkward initially - but what is at stake may be a good friendship. Taking the first step does not mean you are weak but that you have the courage to stand up to the truth.

There is no tommorow.

2006-11-29T10:20:00.000+05:30

Live each day as though there was no tomorrow. If you have to tell someone ‘how much you care’ tell it. If you have hurt someone ask forgiveness. Leave no debts for tomorrow. Today is the day for all that you ever wanted to do.

Song about Love.

2006-11-28T10:49:00.000+05:30

Here is a simple song about Love that I learnt as a child. It is so meaningful that I had to jot it down here.
“Love is something when you give it away, it comes right back to you.
It’s just like a magic penny, hold it back and you won’t get any.
Lend it spend it, give it away, and it comes right back to you.”

Beginning of misery

2006-11-27T10:48:00.000+05:30

Expectation is the beginning of all misery. When you don’t get something you expected after you have done your part, you become miserable. As it is said in Bagvad Gita – Anything you do, do it as if it were your duty, not as a means to gain reward or approval.

What is true love?

2006-11-23T16:50:00.000+05:30

Have you ever given love and expected love in return? Have you ever fought with a loved one saying you loved them so and they dint love you back enough? When you measure love it is no more love. True love is just giving and expecting nothing back.

Sunshine Smile

2006-11-22T09:58:00.000+05:30

Do you smile enough? As you were coming to work did you smile at the man who operated the lift? or the waiter who served you food? Have you ever waved back at a child? Your smile can make someones day (You must have heard this), but do you know -"Your smile can make your day" and its true!!

Quotes from Mrs.Indira Devi

2006-11-21T16:10:00.000+05:30

I remembered today what a teacher of mine once told casually. Love and Respect should be commanded not demanded. We command by what we do and demand by what we say. .

Evaluation

Its always good to have a routine of analyzing your actions before you go to bed each night. Just think over all that you did...And if you can remember making a change to anyones life, or bringing a genuine smile to someones lips. Yes! your day was a success.

Source of Happiness

2006-11-15T16:26:00.000+05:30

Happiness comes from within. If you want to be happy no one can stop you from
being happy. The situations around you do not matter - you just have to see the
lighter side of everything. Your decision makes what you are.
