Life is never made unbearable by circumstances but only lack of purpose and meaning of life.

Don't bother about what others say or think, than half of the problem will be automatically solved.
Mistakes catches the attention, but forgiveness catches the hearts of others and live in their heart permanently.

Be calm and be in patience and strong now, because things will get better.
It might be strong today but it can't be rainy for ever.

If you are struggling today remember this you have survived everything through upto this point the best day in your life yet to come.

There are some peoples you have not met and things you have not experienced you can do them and put in their heart your legacy.

The best things about the worst time of your life is that you get to see and understand the attitudes of each and everyone.

If someone stick by your side through your worst time they're the one's who deserve to be with you in your best times.

Courage doesn't always roar, sometimes courage is the quiet voice all the end of the day saying I will try tomorrow.

Road hypnosis is a physical condition that most drivers are unaware of.
ROAD HYPNOSIS starts *2.5 hours* after getting on the road, the eyes of the hypnosis driver is open, but the brain does not record and analyze what the eye sees.

ROAD HYPNOSIS is the number one cause of *rear-end crashes* to parked vehicle or TRUCK in front of you.

The driver with ROAD HYPNOSIS *remembers nothing* of the last 15 minutes until the moment of collision. He cannot analyze how many km speed he is going, or the speed of the car in front of him, usually the collision is above 140 km.

In order to protect yourself from ROAD HYPNOSIS, it is necessary to stop, take a walk, drink tea or coffee every 2.5 hours.

- It is important to note and remember certain places and vehicles while driving.
- If you don't remember anything from the last 15 minutes, it means you are driving yourself and the passengers to death.

ROAD HYPNOSIS happens *more often at night* and if the passengers are also sleeping, the situation is very severe.
The driver should stop, rest, *walk 5-6 minutes* every 2.5 hours and keep his mind open.

Accident is inevitable if the eyes are open but the *mind is closed* ..

One day Lord Krishna & Arjuna were taking their usual walk, when they came across an old Brahmin begging, taking pity on his condition, Arjuna gave him a bag of gold coins.

The man was overjoyed. On his way to home, he was robbed by a thief in the forest. He cursed his fate and the next day set off to beg again.

Arjuna & Lord Krishna saw him again & got to know his story. Arjuna once again took pity and gave him a large diamond.

The man took it home and kept it in an old pot which had been unused for many years in order to keep it safe and went to sleep.

The next morning before he could wake up, his wife went to fetch water from the river & on her way back, she slipped and her pot broke. She immediately remembered the pot at home which lay unused and brought it to fill it with water. Just as she dipped the pot in to the river the diamond escaped the pot and went into the river.

When she returned home the Brahmin was desperately searching the house for the pot & when he saw it in his wife’s hands, he got to know what had happened. Dejected with what had happened, he once again left to go begging.

Once again Arjuna and Lord Krishna saw him and when Arjuna heard of the unfortunate incident that had happened, he told Lord Krishna ,

” I don’t think this man is destined to be blessed at all, I don’t think I can help him anymore”.

Lord Krishna then gave the man two pennies and the man took them and walked away.

Arjuna then asked Krishna,” My Lord, if gold coins and diamond could not change his condition, what good can two pennies do to him?”.

Lord Krishna smiled and replied, Let us see”.

As the man walked home he was cursing his fate when he saw a fish that had just been caught by a fisherman and was struggling for its life, he took pity on it and thought to himself, ” These two pennies cannot fetch me food anyway, let me at least save the life of this creature” and he purchased the fish and was about to throw it in the river when he saw that the breathlessness of the fish was caused due to some large obstruction in its mouth and when he removed it, it was the very diamond he had lost in the river. He was overjoyed and started shouting “Look what I found! Look what I found!!”.

At this very time the thief that had robbed him in the forest was passing by and heard his shouts, he recognized the man and thought that man too recognized him and was thus shouting. Fearing that the Brahmin may take him to be executed, he rushed to him and begged for his forgiveness and returned all the gold coins he had stolen from him. The Brahmin was happy and walked away joyfully with all his wealth.

He went straight to Arjuna to narrate the turn of events and thanked him for all his help and went away.

Arjuna then asked Lord Krishna,

“My Lord, how is it that my gold and diamond could not help him but your meager two pennies did?.

Krishna replied,” When he had the gold and diamonds he was only thinking of himself and his needs, but when he had the two pennies he put the needs of another creature before his and so I took care of his needs.

The truth is O Arjuna when you think of the pain and needs of others and work to help them, you are doing God’s work and hence God Himself takes care of you”.

"If you are striving to maintain purity of thought, the first sign of progress will be that no person or thing will ever rouse any adverse reaction in you, and gradually good qualities like truth, sacrifice, restraint, love, forbearance, patience and endurance will increase within you.

You will discover that the more you receive God's Grace, the less different or alien other religious practices will seem, and you will begin to feel that they are but different ways of worshipping your own Ishta.

This concept is analogous to the various roles which the same person plays in other peoples' lives; for instance he who is my father may be another's friend and yet another's uncle."

“Mataji, what is the use of doing sadhana, japa, meditation, rituals and all the rest?

We go on practicing for years; but whether we get anywhere by all this exertion and self-denial we do not know. Does it bring us nearer to Reality?” This is a very common question and I have heard Mataji reply something like this:

“When you wash your clothes you have to apply soap. It is of course true that the clothes will not be clean unless the soap is rinsed off again. But can dirt be removed without soap? The thought of God is the soap that in the end has to be washed away by the purifying waters of the Ganges of Supreme Knowledge (Jnana Ganga). Don’t worry about results. In business you give and you get something in return. This is called a bargain, but it is no real gain. If you adopt this sort of mercenary attitude you will not get anywhere. Never leave off your practice until there is Illumination. You must be adamant in your pursuit. The remembrance of God is like a flame. In whichever direction
it is blown, there it will burn up whatever gets into its way. According to your actions you will reap the fruits. No effort is ever wasted. Good works and bad works will yield their harvest in great abundance— for He is extremely generous. Perhaps you will argue, ‘I want to be a king but my wish is not granted.’ You get exactly what is due to you—nothing less and nothing more. When a pitcher full of water has a hole, however small, all the water will leak away. This is how it is with you; your concentration is never complete, there is a break in it, you do not want anything with your whole being.”

“A dose of poison kills a man. But the objects of the senses act like slow poison, gradually they push you towards death. So long as you are worldly-minded you get a ‘return ticket,’ you remain bound to the round of birth and rebirth, repeating the same kind of experience over and over again.”
“God is Immortal. If you aspire to find Him you become a pilgrim on the path of Immortality. Try to keep company with the pilgrims on this path and you will realize your Self as the Immortal.”

Mataji is very emphatic about the importance of obeying the Guru’s orders implicitly without criticism.

“Be very careful whom you accept as your Guru. Don’t be in a hurry. Take your time over it and use your intelligence. But once you have accepted a Guru, it is irrevocable and you must surrender completely. If you fail in this, I maintain you have not accepted him as your Guru.”
Several years ago some Westerners came to Mataji and had a discussion with Her, which throws an interesting sidelight on this question. One of them asked, “How can I get Self- realisation?”

Mataji: He is Self-effulgent, it is not you who can bring it about.
Questioner: Still, should we not make an effort?
Mataji: Yes, the Self is hidden by a veil, you have to wear it down by your own exertion.
Questioner: What is the process by which this can be accomplished?
Mataji: Do you really want Self-realisation?
Questioner: Of course, I do!
Mataji: Then are you prepared to do exactly as I tell you without letting your judgment interfere? Here the gentleman became thoughtful and hesitated. He evidently was feeling uncomfortable. Mataji smiled at him encouragingly.
At last he said: I regard Sri Ramana Maharshi as my Guru, but I have not met Him as yet. I intend going to Tiruvannamalai shortly.
Mataji: Then you must do exactly as He instructs you. But do you really want Self-realisation?
Questioner: Certainly, have I not come all the way to India for this purpose?
“For this and nothing else?” questioned Mataji once more.
“For this and nothing else,” confirmed the seeker.

Three times Mataji had repeated the question and three times the response had been the same. Mataji became very serious. Her voice was definite and powerful when She spoke: “If this is so, if you want Self-realisation and nothing else, it does not matter whether you do as I tell you. If you really want this one thing only, you will find a way; there is no doubt about it!

Decades ago, I had just graduated from college, uncertain where the winds of fate would take me.

My father, a Bengali man like most of his generation, spoke little, except when sharing his worries about me.

But on a summer afternoon he told me that we would go shopping. More intrigued than surprised, I readily agreed. Off we went to some place in Connaught Place, where we would all head to do the important shopping in the Delhi of my childhood through the 80s and early 90s. We walked into a shop and my father asked to pick up a formal jacket.

At once, mortified and excited, I kept going through rows and rows of jackets, trying to figure out what to pick up. Having never worn a formal jacket ever (except secretly trying out my father’s jackets) I didn’t have much of a clue.

So I finally decided on a black one, calculating that the colour would go along with almost everything that I had in my wardrobe of three trousers and four shirts. I was excited that at last, I had something that I could wear to formal family functions and get closer to adulthood than ever before.

My father was driven more by pragmatic considerations than sartorial. “You will now need to start preparing for interviews and you will need one. So keep this clean and look after it well,” he said as he paid cash for my very first formal jacket.

That jacket served me for over 10 years, the only one that I had for a very long, long time. It stood through interviews, formal interactions, weddings and of course, interviews.

A little over 25 years later, as the 17-year-old prepares to leave school and head out into the world, my turn came. I probably have more money than my father had in terms of volume, but less in terms of value.

Over 25 years after his death, I wonder how he would have looked upon this day.

It is perhaps easier for me to spend on a suit than what it may have been for him. He was busy building a house and a life for us. Burdens, I didn’t have to carry, because he managed to settle those in his lifetime.

We hope that it will serve him well and some day he shall repeat this with his progeny. Life comes full circle and so have we, step by step, as we move forward, occasionally looking back in time.

😇 Harry a lawyer, who had a wife and 12 children, needed to move because his rental agreement was terminated by the owner who wanted to reoccupy the home.

But Harry was having a lot of difficulty finding a new house. When Harry mentioned that he had 12 children. No one would rent a home to him because they felt that the children would destroy the place.

Harry couldn't say he had no children, because he couldn't lie. We all know lawyers cannot and do not lie.

So, Harry sent his wife for a walk to the cemetery with 11 of their kids. He took the remaining one with him to see rental homes with the real estate agent.

Harry loved one of the homes and the price was right -- the agent asked, _"How many children do you have?”_

He answered: *"Twelve."*

The agent asked, _"Where are the others?"_

The lawyer, with his best courtroom sad look answered _“They're in the cemetery with their mother!!"_ He got the house.

*MORAL: It's not necessary to lie, one only has to choose the right words...*
