Think it over...


“A well wisher is one who does things that COUNT, but doesn’t stop to count them”

Life is similar to Boxing game..
Defeat is NOT declared when you fall down;
It is declared when you refuse to ‘Get Up’!

Everything is valuable only at 2 times:
1. Before getting it; and
2. After losing it !!

Two things bring happiness & success in life:
1. The way you MANAGE when you have nothing, and
2. The way you BEHAVE when you have everything !

Two places are MOST VALUABLE in the world:
1. The NICEST place is to be in someone’s Thoughts, and
2. The SAFEST place is to be in someone’s Prayers.

One of the greatest victories you can gain over someone is to beat him at politeness.

Faith is taking the 1st step, even when you don’t see the whole staircase.

Keep your face to the Sun,
And you will not see the shadow!

A Deaf child says: “For all of you, I am deaf;
But for me, all of you are dumb…”
Moral: Life differs in each perspective. Live the way you want to.

It is always good to check once in a while,
And make sure that
You haven’t lost the things that money cannot buy..!!

Ego is the only requirement to destroy any relationship.
Be a bigger person; skip the “E”, and let it “go”..!!

Do you know why God didn’t give us the gift to read others’ minds?
So that, 
We could have the chance to “TRUST”,
And privilege to be “TRUSTED”!

As long as we don’t forgive people who have hurt us,
They occupy a RENT-FREE SPACE IN OUR MIND!

Always keep hoping for good.
Keep a green tree in your heart.
The singing birds will automatically come..!

Getting angry is punishing yourself for the mistakes of others!

Trust is like a STICKER.
Once it is removed, it may stick again,
But NOT as strong as it holds when you first applied it..!
Always take care of relationships.

Everything about the future is uncertain,
But one thing is sure:
God has already arranged all our tomorrows…
We just have to TRUST HIM TODAY !!

NEVER win people with Arguments, rather defeat with your Smile!
Because people who always wish to Argue with you, cannot bear your Silence !!!

The search for happiness is one of the main source of unhappiness.

Diplomacy is an art of telling people to go to hell in such a way that
they tend to ask you for directions..!!

If a drop of water falls on a Lake, its identity is lost;
If it falls on Lotus leaf, it shines like a Pearl.
Drop is the same; but the company matters.

“F-E-A-R” has two meanings:
1. Forget Everything And Run…
2. Face Everything And Rejoice..!
Choice is ours..!!

If you walk the way guided by humans, you will find hopeless end;
but if you walk the way guided by God, you will find endless hope.

Memories are always special…
Sometimes we laugh by remembering the days we cried;
And we cry by remembering the days we laughed…!!!
That’s Life!

Sea is common for all…
Some take pearls,
Some take fishes,
Some come out just with just wet legs!
World is common to all; what we get, is whet we try for!

To smile without condition,
To walk without intention,
To give without reason, &
To care without expectation,
Are the beauties of any Relationship!

All communication problems are because
We don’t listen to understand;
We listen to reply…!!

Cheers !

Love and Happiness


Some of my favourite quotes from Swami Chinmayananda’s writings, which truly reflect the vedantic interpretation of Love and Happiness.

  • To love and to be loved is the greatest happiness
  • Faults become thick when love is thin
  • Remember, ‘Even this will pass away’.
  • To be angry is to revenge the faults of others on ourselves
  • The tragedy of human history is decreasing happiness in the midst of increasing comforts.
  • Don’t put the key to your happiness in someone else’s pocket
  • Silently hear everyone. Accept what is good. Reject and forget what is not. This is intelligent living.
  • Be strict and intelligently critical about yourself and your own weakness and follies. But, cushion your words and attitudes with love. Love is the greatest persuasive power we know in life.
  • We may often give without love, but we can never love without giving
  • Flood your mind with love. Look into the eyes of the other and embrace the person with whom you have quarreled. Words are not necessary. Both will have their eyes flooded, and the joy of tears will wash away all quarrels.
  • There is no companion like solitude. One who knows how to tune himself to the inner silence, even in the midst of the din and roar of the marketplace, enjoys a most recreative solitude.
  • The glory of life is not in never falling. The true glory consists in rising each time we call
  • History is full of instances, wherein, victory would have been to the vanquished. If only they had battled a little longer! We often fall for lack of perseverance in our efforts. We leave our work half done in our impatience. Every job demands its quota of efforts. Never give up too soon.
Cheers!
