One step closer to Brahma Gyaan

One step closer to Brahma gyan:::: A 'devotee' goer wrote a letter to the editor of a newspaper and complained that it made no sense to go to the Temple . 'I've gone for 30 years now, he wrote, and in that time I have heard something like 3,000 mantras. But for the life of me, I can't remember a single one of them. So, I think I'm wasting my time and the Gurus are wasting theirs by giving services at all. This started a real controversy in the 'Letters to the Editor' column, much to the delight of the editor. It went on for weeks until someone wrote this clincher: I've been married for 30 years now. In that time my wife has cooked some 32,000 meals. But, for the life of me, I cannot recall the entire menu for a single one of those meals. But I do know this... They all nourished me and gave me the strength I needed to do my work. If my wife had not given me these meals, I would be physically dead today. Likewise, if I had not gone to the Temple for nourishment, I would be spiritually dead today! When you are DOWN to nothing.... God is UP to something! Faith sees the invisible, believes the incredible and receives the impossible! Thank God for our physical AND our spiritual nourishment! ------------------------------ So easy to beat yourself up over mistakes you've made. So many amongst us live in the past rather than loving the present and building a brilliant future. Some people stay stuck for years over something they did or a failure they've experienced. Sad. A life is a terrible thing to waste. But let me ask you a question: "is there really such a thing as a mistake?" First of all, no one tries to fail or mess things up. Every one of us wakes up in the morning, walks out into the world and does the best we can do based on what we know and the skills we have. But even more importantly, every so-called "mistake' is actually a rich source of learning. An opportunity to build more awareness and understanding and gain precious experience. Experience that will help us do, feel and be even better. So, just maybe, there are no mistakes. Just maybe what we could call failures are actually growth lessons in wolf's clothing. And just maybe the person who experiences the most wins. ---------------------- A sick man turned to his doctor as he was preparing to Leave the examination room and said, 'Doctor, I am afraid to die. Tell me what lies on the other side.' Very quietly, the doctor said, 'I don't know.' 'You don't know? You, a Christian man, Do not know what is on the other side?' The doctor was holding the handle of the door; On the other side came a sound of scratching and whining, And as he opened the door, a dog sprang into the room And leaped on him with an eager show of gladness. Turning to the patient, the doctor said, 'Did you notice my dog? He's never been in this room before. He didn't know what was inside. He knew nothing except that his master was here, And when the door opened, he sprang in without fear. I know little of what is on the other side of death, But I do know one thing... I know my Master is there and that is enough.' ------------------------------- A boy and a girl were playing together. The boy had a collection of marbles. The girl had some sweets with her. The boy told the girl that he will give her all his marbles in exchange for her sweets. The girl agreed. The boy kept the biggest and the most beautiful marble aside and gave the rest to the girl. The girl gave him all her sweets as she had promised. That night, the girl slept peacefully. But the boy couldn't sleep as he kept wondering if the girl had hidden some sweets from him the way he had hidden his best marble. Moral of the story: If you don't give your hundred percent in a relationship, you'll always keep doubting if the other person has given his/her hundred percent.. This is applicable for any relationship like love, employer-employee relationship, friendship etc., Give your hundred percent to everything you do and sleep peacefully ---------------------- The tragedy of life is not death,but what we let die inside us while we live.When u were born,the world rejoiced while u cried,-live ur life in such a way that when you die,-the world cries while u rejoice.. -------------------------------- Your days are your life in miniature. As you live your days, so you craft your life. What you do today is actually creating your future. The words you speak, the thoughts you think, the food you eat and the actions you take are defining your destiny â€“ shaping who you are becoming and what your life will stand for. There's no such thing as an unimportant day. Each of us is called to greatness. Each of us has an exquisite power within us. But for this power to grow, we need to use it. The more you exercise it each day, the stronger it gets. The more this power gets tapped, the more confident you grow. The best among us are not more gifted than the rest. They just take small steps each day as they march towards their biggest life. And the days slip into weeks, the weeks into months and before they know it, they arrive at a place called Extraordinary. ----------------------------- If you can not respect , love , care about ,stand by or be honest with your own parents ,-who gave birth to you and were the very first people who fell in love with you -- then whether you accept this or not but you do not love anyone else in this world either with all your heart and soul ....and time will show that none of your children will stand by you either- when you will need them the most.. ----------------------------------- If you sit with a person who is smoking, even without ur knowledge- You will end up inhaling second hand smoke.In the same way, if you be in the company of saints who constantly preach about the importance of doing good karma-, automatically even without ur knowledge- u will end up doing a lot of positive and humble deeds. If you be in the company of a person who keeps saying bad words and abusing others then then obviously whether u like it or not -- u will end up being the same kind of person sooner or later. And if u constantly listen to Gods name, his praises, his bhajans-even without you being aware of it - the words that will come out of your mouth will be nothing but the nectar of love and bliss. So be in the company of God and even without your knowledge-You will find him seated in your heart - talking to you and finding solutions to ur problems and worries.You just need to take one step towards Him and He will take 100 steps towards you.. By Deepa H inspired by Sai -------------------------------------------- Always tell someone that you love them because you never know what day Will be their last, or your own. Always seek to resolve your problems or disagreements with loved ones Because if either of you should pass on before, the one who is left alive will have the rest of their life to ponder those unresolved feelings but will never find closure. And closure usually brings Peace... ......................................................................................With lots of good wishes and regards to all from Deepa H and family [ debu7366@yahoo.com ] ...............May Sai always give us peace of mind and May he always make us feel His presence where ever we go....

What Happens After You Allow Jealousy & Ego To Enter In Your Life

There Was a Devout Religious Man Who Took Great Joy In Cultivating a Garden Full of Beautiful Flowers And Fruits. Even Though He Was Steeped In Spiritual Knowledge, He Had Developed a Strong Touch of Egoism Within Him. The Moment Egoism Developed, Jealousy Also Entered. When Egoism And Jealousy Make Their Appearance, Hatred Automatically Joins Them. God Took a Personal Interest In This Errant Devotee. God Saw That This Person, Although He Had All The Proper Religious Outer Trappings, Had Nevertheless, Filled His Heart With Poison. God Decided To Correct Him By Teaching Him a Lesson. The Lord Manifested Himself In The Form of An Old Mendicant And Took a Stroll By That Garden.

The Old Mendicant Went To a Recently Planted Tree And Greatly Extolled The Beauty of That Tree. Noticing The Garden Owner Nearby He Asked him, "Who Is The Gardener Responsible For Cultivating Such A Fine Tree?" The Proud Owner Puffed Himself Up And Said, "Sir, It Is I Who Have Brought Up This Entire Garden. I Grew This Tree And I Raised all The Other Trees That You See Here, As Well. By My Own Efforts I Developed all These Pleasing Paths And Made This Beautiful Garden. I Alone Look After Everything Here. There Is No Hired Gardener. I Am The One Who Draws The Water. I Spread The Manure. I Pull The Weeds And I Remove The Pests. I Clean The Paths. I Am Developing These Beautiful Flowers And Fruits, Doing all These Things For The Sake of Giving Joy To Others." In This Way He Went On Repeating I... I... I.

Appearing To Appreciate The Beauty of The Garden, The Old Mendicant Continued To Dwell There For Awhile, While The Owner Busied Himself Nearby, Grooming His Garden. After Some Time The Mendicant Left. A Little Bit Later a Cow Entered The Garden. She Was So Weak That She Was About To Fall And Destroy The Plants That Were There Under Her Body. The Owner of The Garden Saw That This Cow Was About To Spoil His Beautiful Garden. So He Took a Small Stick And Threw it At The Cow To Chase Her Out. But The Moment The Stick Touched The Cow, The Cow Fell Down And Died. Now, In His Religion, Cows Are Considered Very Sacred, And Should Never Be Molested Or Harmed. Having Thrown The Stick From Which The Cow Dropped Dead, He Would Now Have To Suffer The Great Sin of Killing a Cow. He Was Aghast At This Terrible Turn of Events.

It Was Not Very Long Afterwards That The Same Old Mendicant Came Back Into The Garden. Walking Along The Path Where The Cow Had Strayed, He Saw The Dead Cow And Was Shocked. He Sought Out The Owner And Urged Him To Quickly Come To The Spot. The Mendicant Asked, "Who Killed This Cow? Who Committed This Outrage?" When The Owner Did Not Answer Immediately, The Old Mendicant Asked More Directly, "Tell Me, Do You Know Who Killed This Cow?" The Owner Replied, "Surely it Was The Will of God. Without The Will of The Lord, Would She Have Died Just Like That? Unless She Was Meant To Die, Would She Fall Down And Expire Just Because a Little Stick Touched Her?"

The Moment The Old Mendicant Heard This He Told The Man, "Previously You Told Me How it Was You Alone Who Was Responsible For Raising This Whole Garden, How You Alone Planted And Nurtured All These Plants And Put In All The Paths. You Were Taking Credit For All The Good Things That Have Happened Here But For Anything That Is Wrong And Inauspicious You Put The Blame On God. You Are An Arrogant, Self-Serving Fool, So Puffed Up With Your Own Importance That You Won't Even Acknowledge The Creator's Hand In Bringing Forth All The Beauty That Is Here You Are Taking Credit For That Which Belongs To God. You Are Even Jealous of God. If Not For The Will of God, There Would Be Nothing In Your Garden."

At This Point, The Old Mendicant Revealed His True Identity. He Said, "I Am The Lord Himself. I Have Come To Destroy Your Egoism." The Erring Devotee Fell At The Lord's Feet In Contrition. The Devotee Realized How Ego Had Stolen Into Him, Had Gained a Foothold, And Then Had Completely Taken Him Over. Now, He Understood The Deeper Meaning of The Spiritual Teachings That He Had Been Mouthing For So Long. He Realized That Everything Is Imbued With The Divinity, And Therefore, He Should See The Divinity Everywhere And Live His Life With The Knowledge That Down To The Minutest Detail, Everything Is Under The Control of The Divinity.

You can join many things that break But When a Heart is Broken You Can't Join Or Heal it Because It Is Only You Who Will Create Hell With The Help of these Enemies & You Will Only Create Heaven With The Help Of Your Heart & Love.. Instead of Opening The Eyes Of Your Mind, Open the Eyes of Your Heart & See How Beautiful this world can be.
