YOUR LIFE IS NOT A COINCIDENCE. IT'S A REFLECTION OF YOU!

"A son and his father were walking on the mountains. Suddenly, his son
falls, hurts himself and screams: "AAhh!!" To his surprise, he hears the
voice repeating, somewhere in the mountain: "AAhh!!"


Curious, he yells: "Who are you?"
He receives the answer: "Who are you?"
And then he screams to the mountain: "I admire you!"
The voice answers: "I admire you!"
Angered at the response, he screams: "Coward!"
He receives the answer: "Coward!"
He looks to his father and asks: "What's going on?"
The father smiles and says: "My son, pay attention."
Again the man screams: "You are a champion!"
The voice answers: "You are a champion!"
The boy is surprised, but does not understand.



Then the father explains: "People call this ECHO, but really this is LIFE.
It gives you back everything you say or do.

Have Faith in yourself first

Let people say whatever they like ,

stick to your own convictions, and rest assured ,

the world will be at your feet.

They say , " Have faith in this fellow or that fellow,"

But we have to Say, " HAVE FAITH IN YOURSELF FIRST". that's the way.

Rough road makes you strong

The road is good is the roughest and steepest in the universe.

It is a wonder that so many succeed,

no wonder that so many fall.

Character has to be established through a thousand stumbles...


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anything that makes you weak physically.

intellectually and spiritually,

reject as poison; there is no life in it, it cannot be true.

These mysticisms, in spite of some grains of truth in them,

are generally weakening.....

Work is Worship

The Supreme Soul from Whom has this whole of universe originated & because of Whom is it existing, by worshipping Him with ones day-to-day jobs & activities, one can attain the supreme state.

(Shrimad Bhagvad Geeta: 18.46)

Anybody, may be a very affluent or a poor person, can reach the ultimate state of suprem bliss, by offering the flowers of daily chores to the omnipresent God. There is a well named 'Pisajhari Kuan' in the middle of the road going from Munger to Bhagalpur in Bihar, India. A 13 year old girl called 'Shyamo' got married. Her husband died a year after her marriage. She became a widow at the young age of 14. Shyamo thought that it is not wise to become an escapist, materialistic & lazy. She made her parents understand her feelings & she started leading a pious & pure life. Shyamo's parents were very poor. She used to get up early in the morning & earn some money by making flour using grind-stone. Then, she used to take her bath and pray to God & sing praises of His holy name. After that she used to again sit down to make thread using the spin-wheel. If somebody wanted to get food prepared, then she used to do that also. The whole day she used to keep herself busy working with full sincerity & diligence. As a result she used to get sound sleep in the night & easily she was able to concentrate for the short duration she used to pray. As this routine continued, one day Shyamo observed that all those who travel on Munger-Bhagalpur road feel very thirsty. Not only did she earn her living by making flour, thread & cooking, but she also donated all her life-long savings to construct a well for the travellers. Even today that 'Pakka Kuan' (constructed well) located on the Munger-Bhagalpur road denotes Shyamo's sacrifice, austerity, goodwill and dedication & zeal towards work. No matter how adverse the circumstances be, if one continues to work diligently without losing faith & hope, then his duties take the form of worship. The peace & contentment experienced by a devotee or a Yogi, the same happiness & peace is evolved in the heart of the one who does his duties with the aim of pleasing God. Even though Shyamo became a widow at a very young age, she did not let her life get misled, dedicatedly she did her jobs practising self-control, purity in action & pleasing behaviour. That is the reason that even if her body is not existing in this world, but the songs of her good qualities are still being sung... I wish the people entangled in fighting & creating tension for others get some inspiration from her! If we let the river of self-less services flow in our family & society, then the world would be so great!
