If we don't come in the way of others' lives, the-- Natural laws of Justice --'will not' come in the way of our life.
The only way to change destiny is to rise above TIME & SPACE.
Humor is good for mental-health.
Seek those in similar ( spiritual..) stages of life.
All negativities are in the mind-set only.
Keeping your mind where your body is, &, being fully AWARE--is a noble & sane way to live.

Superiority & Inferiority complexes-- are born out of ignorance.
Do not be around 'beings' that don't change, &, continue to do wrong ; Let the 'appropriate' people know about them.
We belong to GOD ( Justice/ Grace) alone; We do not belong to the Others ( ..Parents, Spouse, Children, Friends, Relatives, Co-Workers, Rulers of Authority, Politicians etc.)

Life becomes much easier if one is kind, &, NOT hateful! Take all happenings as TRIVIAL, in life. Thus, the BURDEN is less.

It is LONELY at the TOP; But, it is a GOOD-LONELY!
One should know HOW to PLAY the GAME in this mischievous World!
The BLOWS & MISTAKES of Life are there 'only' to EDUCATE & STRENGTHEN us, &, NOT to 'weaken' us!
It is the CREATOR'S promise that He will DESTORY the evil-doers, to give PEACE & JUSTICE to the GOOD!
Neither AVOID nor SEEK; Be NON-ATTACHED!
You are NOT the--Body, Mind, Emotions, Life; You are PURE-CONSCIOUSNESS!
When you change your thinking, you change your Beliefs; When you change your beliefs, you change your Expectations; When you change your expectations, you change your Attitude; When you change your attitude, you change your Behavior; When you change your behavior, you change your Performance; When you change your performance, you change your Life!
This whole matter of Realization revolves around a fundamental question of identity: "With what do you identify?"
The more narrow and limited your sense of self, the greater your suffering.
The moment you discover that things are separate only in appearance, and not in Essence,
then in that moment your sense of "self" will begin to expand.
And, in that moment, you will begin to Realize the magnificence of who and what you really are:
a dynamic manifestation, within space and time, of the Reality which transcends both.
Life flows through each of us in a tidal wave of infinite expression.
Contentment and satisfaction depend upon your ability to trust this unfolding process.
Satsanga(Association with Sages), discrimination between the Real and the unreal, dispassion, enquiry of 'who am I?', and meditation, will bestow on you eternal bliss and immortality.
Be not a victim to imaginiary ills and diseases.
Our Creator loves those that think about the GOOD-- for all BEINGS!
Each experience is an opportunity to see more deeply into who and what you really are. Life is our opportunity to deepen our appreciation of the Infinite.
Think from the 'Other ' person's perspective, too.
Ruthlessness can be self-defeating.
Be tactful. Do NOT overlook your own opportunity.
Strive for Excellence, NOT perfection.
References to a "higher" or transcendent "Self" perpetuate the illusion of an identity separate, distant and "other."
In reality, the essence of who you are is immediate, immanent and inseparable from the sense of present moment "self" with which you tend to identify.
Look for who is looking, and you will discover you are not separate from the intimate Reality of Awareness shining within the present moment.
The weak, the fearful, the ignorant will never reach the Atman. You cannot undo what you have done; the effect must come. Face it, but be careful never to do the same thing again. Give up the burden of all deeds to God. Give all, both good and bad. God helps those who do not help themselves.
( GOD = HIGHER-AWARENESS/ CONSCIOUSNESS, WISDOM, PEACE, JOY, CONTENTMENT, BOUNDLESSNESS, SPACIOUSNESS, FREEDOM, RIGHTEOUSNESS, FEARLESSNESS, CAREFULNESS, PRAYER, SELF-RELIANCE ) |
