Wisdom is not a product of schooling but lifelong attempt to acquire
it. Never mistake knowledge for wisdom.One helps make living other
makes life. Wise people celebrate, every day as they find happiness at every moment in the company of the Supreme Lord. May you reach that stage very soon. When people choose to withdraw far from a fire, the fire continues to give warmth, but they grow cold. Same is true when people withdraw from God. Happiness is the reward we get for living to the highest right we know. Happiness is chiefly the idea of satisfaction after full honest efforts. Having the fewest desires, one reaches to the LORD. Removal of covers of worldly desires is the basic step to reach HIM. Let’s remove all covers. To enjoy the flowers of happiness anywhere and in any condition one need only a positive attitude. Be positive and helpful to spread Happiness. The ultimate objective of all human being is to become one with the Supreme Lord, the creator of this Universe, by following the path of devotion. True discrimination between right and wrong does not then depend on the acuteness of our intelligence, but on the wisdom of the Spirit. It is more easy to be wise for others than for ourselves. If wisdom and diamonds grew on the same tree we could soon tell how much men loved wisdom. Rules to be Happy : Be Truthful, Dutiful, Humane, Helpful, Devoted and saving time, energy, thought and always aiming at the final goal of life. Wise person is a super human being as he has the all best possible qualities and Knowledge of human being to attain the true objective of life. Life is smooth in spite of visible ups and downs for a wise person as he is always connected to the source of Supreme Happiness. Wisdom is knowing what to do next, skill is knowing how to do it, and virtue is doing it. The key to wisdom is knowing all the right questions. No problem is unsolvable, it is only the approach used which is important for reaching to the solution. Breaking it into small parts is the key. Life is happy when we accept things as it is and it turns out be miserable when we want to see it as we want. We seem to gain wisdom more readily through our failures than through our successes. We always think of failure as the antithesis of success. But it isn’t the case. Success often lies just on the other side of failure. A wise man aims for the success.Fools have no plans for defeat. Of all the things which wisdom provides to make life entirely happy, much the greatest is the possession of friendship . Do what you can, with what you have, where you are. its not where you start -its where you finish that counts. Our words reveal our thoughts, our manners mirror our self esteem, our actions reflect our character, our habits predict the future. There may be those on earth who dress better or eat better, but those who enjoy the peace of God sleep better. We must change our self for that. Good things come to those who wait. Better thing come to those who try. Best is for those who have worked hard and are able to please the Lord!!! It is always better to imitate a successful man than to envy him. As is he always focused on what he wants in his life not on what he dosn’t want. There may be those on earth who dress better or eat better, but those who enjoy the peace of God sleep better. We must change our self for that. Do we know why we are here in this world ? What is our duty and what is the right way of performing that duty? We are here in this world to purify our spirit by doing good to others and shedding away our ego and doing spiritual activities / mediation. We cannot advance without new experiments in living, but no wise man tries every day what he has proved wrong the day before. There is a difference between happiness and wisdom: he that thinks himself the happiest man is really so; but he that thinks himself the wisest is generally the greatest fool. Wisdom is the capacity to realize what is of value in life for oneself and others. Embracing of high or superior values is a hallmark of wisdom. The true happiness is within our self for and we can derive it when ever we want by just putting our concentration at place of attention. Aristotle differentiated between two kinds of wisdom: practical wisdom, and existential/metaphysical wisdom. Third can be change-the-world wisdom. The person who desires to have the Blessings and the Grace of the Lord should behave with everyone & Him, with truth and honesty. When one has a True Desire and the Wisdom to meet the Supreme LORD, all the necessary arrangements are made for the meeting. The secrets of happiness: Forget about money. Don’t fret about youth. Acting happy is likely to make you happy. Find it within youself. The people of the world know that the objects of this world are lifeless and the source of energy and bliss is within them, yet they search for happiness and bliss in the objects of the world. Thus their is immense knowledge but wisdom is lacking.\ A wise person gets inputs from the LORD and is always happy in every situation. That state is only possible when we detach from worldly desires. The happiest people don’t have the best of everything.They just make the best of everything.True Happiness is when we have Vision of the LORD !!! Human life is a rare opportunity for preparation for return journey to the home from where we have come due to our impurities. DISTRIBUTE HAPPINESS:It does not cost anything to speak or write sweet words which gives knowledge, smiles, win hearts & make others happy. The Biggest Hurdle in the Path of Spirituality is the ego of the self. One must work for removal of the ego to get any success. The people of the world considers worldly progress and comforts as the object of the life & have turned away their faces from spiritual practice. Success and failure are two sides of the coin but Peace is the state which should always prevail in our mind as that is the real essence of life. Happy moments may be few but may give immense energy for days and months. We just have to learn to tap that energy and get refreshed when we need. Happiness and sorrow due to meeting or not meeting our desires will continue as long as we keep on igniting the desires. We can be Content & Happy. History tells: Devotion, Truthfulness, Honesty, Hard work, Dedication are very difficult to practice but give incomparable rewards in the long run. All paths leading to HIM will meet at the same point, but there may be certain path which will have minimum hurdles and very easy to climb. O Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, & the wisdom to know the difference. To enjoy the flowers of happiness anywhere and in any condition one need only a positive attitude. Be positive and helpful to spread Happiness. To be happy: Try to find some time to enjoy the creative person in yourself: by singing or listening music, writing poetry, to forget the sorrow and pain. Intuition is an incredible resource and gift that we have been given to help us live our best life. Unfortunately, not many people know what it is? The word intuition means “in to you” in Latin. Florence Scovel, a theologian, once said, “Intuition is the spiritual faculty that doesn’t explain; it seemingly points the way.” It’s also been said that intuition is the divine Spirit talking to you. If we will stop for a moment and acknowledge this, we will begin to realize the incredible perspective we have at our fingertips. We have this very amazing power! And we don’t even have to get any special training to start using it. All one need to do is raise his awareness about it and set his intention to harness it. EGO of men Man is full of egotism and considers himself capable of doing successfully most difficult things and thus feels bold to think that he would be able to do much in the sphere of Spirituality also, but, after working hard for some time, he comes to realize that it is impossible, without help from the Lord, to make any progress in respect of Spirituality. When such realization comes to a man, his mind begins to feel that the need of ‘surrendering himself to the Lord’. Life is full of happiness and bliss if we look for it and make us capable to receive it. Honesty, intelligence, truth and hard work are necessary. One gets happiness if one get what is wanted but if one do not want anything then one is always happy and there are people of this kind. The SUPREME LORD Is Supreme Wisdom, Supreme Knowledge and the Store house and Treasure of all the Virtues and Good Attributes. The ultimate objective of all human being should be to become one with the Supreme Lord, the creator of this Universe. Information and knowledge are easy to come by, but how to make sense of it all? What does it really mean to you & your life? That requires Wisdom. Wisdom is derived from a word “wise” which in turn came from a Latin word “videre” means ‘ to see ’. Thus, the word Wisdom is generally used to represent the ability to see: * the cause of the activities happened in the past, * the interrelation ships among the entities in the present and * the consequences of the actions to be taken in the future through appropriate applications of the knowledge and experiences gained in the past. Wisdom involves: · seeing things clearly; seeing things as they are · acting in prudent and effective ways · acting with the well-being of the whole in mind · deeply understanding the human/cosmic situation · knowing when to act and when not to act · being able to handle whatever arises with peace of mind and an effective, compassionate, holistic response · being able to anticipate potential problems and avoid them Basant is the final end when the spirit gets the place in HIS Holy Feet, for ever. May we achieve and celebrate the Basant by HIS Grace. When all the spirits will get to HIS Abode that will be the final Basant. May that day come sooner. May lord shower HIS Grace on All of us. Complete Wisdom brings the human near to the All Mighty. Let us work towards the complete wisdom by doing every thing as per HIS mandate. Wisdom is collecting and coordinating the experiences and drawing useful lessons, which tend to increase comfort and lessen miseries of all. Just as a bullet cannot be fired without the help of gun-powder, similarly knowledge obtained through intellect only cannot lead to liberation of any person unless it is assisted and sustained by feelings of love and faith etc. Bhakti or Devotion, which is an expression of one’s love and faith, is necessary for the attainment a state of complete Wisdom. In Devotion the chief means employed for achieving the object are love, faith, worship and service towards the Teacher or the Guru, who have direct communion with the True Supreme Being. The devotee, following the Path of Devotion, gets the advice on all worldly and spiritual matters and also happily follows the orders of the Teacher and finally achieves the Object of Life. A man can be perfectly spiritual without running away to caves, and that he can reach the highest attainments in Yoga while carrying on with worldly avocations. A Devotee following the Path of Devotion, gets the guidance on all worldly and spiritual matters from the Teacher to live a true happy life. We should have only one desire that is to get a place in HIS Holy Feet for ever, which will give us true peace and happiness. Wisdom lies in making an effort to get release from the body and the mind through development of the spiritual faculties, to control their actions. It is believed that if one’s heart is cleaned of impurities he or she will surely be blessed with higher spiritual experiences and True Peace. Happiness from worldly objects is just an illusion caused by the temporary absence of reality. True Happiness is when we see the Supreme Lord !!! Ideal Life style: Vegetarian diet, honest earning, minimum indulgence in worldly pleasures and concentrating on the objective of life. The human being are superior to all other forms of life in this creation. Only human can awaken the spiritual faculties to communicate with Lord !!! True happiness brings more richness than all the money in the world.Key to happiness is having dreams, key to success is making dreams come true. May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human enough hope to make you happy. A wise person is always prepared for an opportunity while others are not prepared even when they are sure of getting one opportunity everyday. The secret of contentment is knowing how to enjoy what you have, and to be able to lose all desire for things beyond your reach. Nothing is as real as a healthy dose of mediation which awakens our spirit and starts the communication with the Supreme Lord. Contentment is a pearl of great price, and whoever procures it at the expense of thousands of desires makes a wise and a happy purchase. All earthly delights are sweeter in expectation than in enjoyment; but all spiritual pleasures are more in fruition than in expectation. We can not and do not succeed in changing things according to our desire, but gradually we learn to change our desires. A wise man will desire no more than what he may get justly, use soberly, distribute cheerfully, and leave contentedly. Real knowledge is to know the extent of one’s ignorance. First duty of a person is to know what is right. Second duty is to do what is right. The contented man can be happy with what appears to be useless. Each time U are honest & conduct yourself with honesty, a success force drive you toward greater success. Every lie pushes one towards failure. Whenever you want to face the reality of life just visit an Emergency ward of Popular government Hospital. To see a dream you may watch a movie. Love, hope, fear, faith — these make humanity. We must show humanity to all without any distinction towards any group or community. Heaven and hell are being demonstrated here in this world, one just needs the proper vision to see it and feel it. A desire comes up in heart & goes to the brain to start action which continues for hours, days & months to reach the goal. Joy we get for secs. True Happiness can be enjoyed for ever when we are content with what we have & are able to experiences HIS presence within ourselves. No pleasure is comparable to the standing upon the vantage ground of Truth. Think truly. Speak truly. Live truly. Life will be full of happiness. Patience is the key to paradise. We can always act as per our duty but the results are never in our hands. We should accept what is given to us. Beauty of nature can be enjoyed even without spending money in the morning and evening or in the day, just close your eyes to imagine the beauty. The true image to enjoy with open or closed eyes, forever, is of the face, specially eyes of the Teacher who is helping one reach the goal of life. Food for hunger, water for thirst satisfy body, books and speeches help in contentment of mind, do we know what is needed by the spirit? Power of word we utter is so strong that it can bring smile or anger on faces of people, one must choose the right word at the right time. When one is shown right path he is not able to follow because of indulgence in other pursuits of interest. Only situations force him to follow. Annual income twenty thousand, annual expenditure nineteen thousand nineteen and six, result happiness. Annual income twenty thousand, annual expenditure twenty one thousand and six, result misery. Pain and sorrows come in our life to make us understand the value of happiness and enjoyment, like night tells the value of day. Be ready for it. We look first for basic needs of food clothing shelter then recognition reputation then GOD realisation at end of life, too late to be achieved. One can be happy in any situation if mind & desires are under control as one can drive any vehicle on any road at any time, if one knows driving. Play, study, job, marriage, kids, their marriage, their kids, that is life of human? What is that we are missing on ? Any answer ? We must add activities for true salvation so that we get peace and divine happiness forever by attaining freedom from cycle of birth and death. This world is a transit place on journey to home where we aim for divine happiness & true peace, which is possible with constant efforts and Grace. The highest principle of peaceful life in the world is ”Brotherhood of Man and Fatherhood of GOD” which can eliminate all possibilities of war. When we look down to people below our economic level we always feel content & thank HIM, when we look up we get more desires for worldly objects. Problems of the world keep on coming despite all our efforts, we can not change the conditions around us, but can learn to adjust ourselves. The greatest wealth one can have is the Faith in the actions of the Supreme Lord, every action is for the benefit of us all without any doubt. When we see a beautiful object, hear some soothing music, eat some tasty food item, touch a soft surface, a smile comes on our lips, why? Joy !!! So easy it is to get the joy. Still people are running after something without taking off time to enjoy with whatever is available with them. Faith and Hope of achieving the goal coupled with sincere action makes a person a true achiever for any kind of target in any situation. Physical activities and regular exercise makes healthy body. Healthy body helps in development of healthy mind. These two helps awaken Sprint. A friend is one who always helps on his own, in need, without being requested for and do not expect anything in return. Let us be friend indeed. When I look back I find so many favours given to me by HIM and I thank HIM for the Grace and Mercy shown. I hope every one can look back like that. Most people believe they will be happy after they get their dream house, a car, a great job, after they get married, have children, and so on ... Happiness really lies in being able to appreciate what we have, and pursuing a life of meaning and purpose. Perseverance is stronger than the strength of hardest diamond, as consistent efforts enable shaping of the diamond even with less strong tools. To be happy one can just thank the creator for whatever HE has given to him rather than unhappy with what is not given to him. Be Positive, Always The true happiness is realised when one helps some one who is needy without looking for any return for that service. Try and experience happiness. Life is very simple if we know the objective and act towards it without deviating. Else we may run all around, to find nothing at the end. Hard work in the right direction can only give true happiness. One who is not afraid of hard work and also knows right direction is truly happy. One can learn by being positive and open, in every situation, a victory or a celebration, as well as, any loss or an accident of any kind. Experiences make us happier than possessions. It is found that people felt a greater sense of vitality or "being alive" during the experience. |
