PEARLS OF WISDOM..TRUTH..REALITY!!

1. Bhagawan always says, He is like the skin of the Banana, and we are the Softer fruit inside. So he is always there to protect us, no matter what. But we should see to it that the skin is not thrown away as a waste and that it could be used for a different species.
 
2. When a Rupee is given to us, we need to make it in 4 parts, 1st part - for Religious functions like those at the Madom, 2nd - for a good cause(for poor), 3rd - for our parents and 4th - for ourselves.
 
3. Happiness lies within ourselves. Unfortunately, we try to find it in others. This is why we are not satisfied. we are not Happy.
 
4. Swamiji says he is like an Aandi(from Zero). He doesnt need any wordly benefits like name, fame, Money or Power. All that he gets goes back to the needy and deserving devotees and the welfare of the math and activities for the poor..
 
5. Our body represents the Navagraha. We have 9 outlets in our body. Any of these has a problem, then it hinders our development.
 
6. Just like when a kid is thrown into the air, it laughs because it believes that there is someone to hold it below. This is the trust we need to develop in God.
 
7. If we notice a young child, it hold whatever it gets in its hand tightly. The same way we need to Hold on to GOD tightly and Believe everything that he gives is for our Good.
 
8. The Earth is Round.. Whatever we do to others will definitely come back to us.
 
9. Our Mind is like a monkey. It never stays quiet. Thats why we do not experience PEACE. The only way to tame our Mind is to Surrender it to the Lord's Feet.
 
10. We are living in a world of MAYA. So long as Man is attached to Maya, his Upliftment is Hindered. Anything that is attractive to the Human Mind can be considered as MAYA. So long as we are Attached to MAYA, we are bound to Earth. We need to come back again and again till we get out of the Clutch of MAYA.
 
11. Some of us have the belief that "Work is Worship", so we get involved so much in Work/Profession, that we sometimes forget our responsibilities outside the Workplace. This should be taken care of. Work includes Karma, Satkarma, Dushkarma too. Karma is what we are paid for. Satkarma is what we do for others without Expecting Returns. Dushkarma is when we affect/hurt others with our words, action, thoughts and/or otherwise.
 
12. There are so many resources given to us for free. We can utilize them for our own good. The Air/Oxygen is free. We utilize it to keep ourselves alive and ticking. Same way Happiness is also given to us Free of Cost. No One is holding us at gunpoint to stop Smiling. We have forgotten Happiness by getting ourselves entangled in all kinds of Tensions and Pressures. Lets give Ourselves some time. Some time to stay Happy. Some time to think of the ONE who Supplies us with nonstop Oxygen.
 
13. Aspire for what is REAL, Do not Run behind Worldly desires.
Whatever we are unable to see will not Perish. Whatever we see are Perishable.
 
14. We should be like Camphor. When it burns, it gives fragrance. When it burns out, nothing remains. All other things that burn leaves something behind.
 
15. Shakti is ENERGY. Our actions are guided by Shakti. To do the RIGHT action, We need Intellect. And Sri Subramanya is the Intellect Personified.
 
16. Temples as such do not have an AURA around them. IT is created by our Sincere Prayers and chanting of Mantras(mantra japa). Doing a Japa or chanting a Mantra is like Bank Deposit.
 
17. Whatever is INSIDE is GOD. Whatever outside is MAYA!
Our life is divided into 4 Segments...
1-25 yrs - Vidya(education)
25-45 yrs - Career
45-60 yrs - Vanaprastham
60+ = Sanyasi
 
18. Positive forces are within us. Negative forces are around us. They Lure us. So, We need to start the battle by awakening the positive energies and ignoring the Negatives.
