Quote on mind

Volumes have been written on the human mind. What does it mean? How does it work? etc. But, for all practical purposes, we know that our thought is our mind.Our thoughts are the building blocks of our life. Our thought determines what we are, and what we shall be in the future..

Our mind has two parts:-

1. Conscious mind, 2. Unconscious mind.

Our mind is like an iceberg in the ocean. We know that out of ten, only one part of the iceberg is visible and nine tenth of it is under water. Similarly, the large part of our mind known as the subconscious is hidden from our conscious mind. Only a very small part of it is known to us. This is our conscious mind.

There is a great secret in it. This small part - the conscious mind, can control and mould the whole of the unconscious mind. All saints and sages of the world have proved this fact. They tell that what we think intensely and constantly for a sufficiently long time, enters into our conscious mind and makes the necessary changes. What our unconscious mind accepts, that we feel and what we feel, that we become. If you feel like Buddha, you become Buddha. If you feel like Christ, you shall become Christ.

Thus, we find that our thoughts make or mar our life. Our mind is our greatest friend and greatest enemy also. It is the cause of our bondage as well as our liberation....

The Boy Who Wanted To Meet God

There once was a little boy who wanted to meet God. He knew it was a long trip to where God lived, so he packed his suitcase with Twinkies and a six-pack of root beer, and he started his journey.

When he had gone about three blocks, he met an old woman. She was sitting in the park, staring at some pigeons. The boy sat down next to her and opened his suitcase. He was about to take a drink from his root beer when he noticed that the old lady looked hungry,so he offered her a Twinkie. She gratefully accepted it and smiled at him. Her smile was so pretty that the boy wanted to see it again, so he offered her a root beer. Once again, she smiled at him. The boy was delighted. They sat there all afternoon eating and smiling, yet they never said a word.

As it grew dark, the boy realized how tired he was and he got up to leave.Before he had gone more than a few steps,he turned around, ran back to the old woman and gave her a hug. She gave him her biggest smile ever.

When the boy opened the door to his own home a short time later,his mother was surprised by the look of joy on his face.

She asked him, "What did you do today that made you so happy? He replied, "I had lunch with God."But before his mother could respond, he added,"You know what? She's got the most beautiful smile I've ever seen!"

Meanwhile, the old woman, also radiant with joy, returned to her home.Her neighbor was stunned by the look of peace on her face,and she asked,"What did you do today that made you so happy?" She replied, "I ate Twinkies in the park with God." But before her neighbor responded, she added, "You know, he's much younger than I expected."

Will someone see God in your smile or kind deeds? Maybe they're not even looking for God, but may see Him in the kindness you show.

Isn't that what we're here for?

It might be a stranger, someone you work with, a family member or friend. Let them see God in you. Show His love in all you do.There once was a little boy who wanted to meet God.

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.
