A mother of many children, as she attended her domestic chores, kept the children busy with toys and sweets. For a while, the children were happy. Suddenly, they remembered their mother and began to cry. She brought them a new set of playthings and candies and, for the time being, the thought of the mother faded away from their minds.
The process was repeated several times until one child cried out o

How Rich Are You?

What is the goal of life? Absorbed as we are, in the pursuit of the shadow-shapes of wealth and pleasure and power, we do not pause to ask ourselves the questions: - “what is the goal of life?” the goal cannot be wealth or possessions, pleasure, power for we or leave all these things behind, the moment we drop the body.

A Moment of Calm is an experience, which each one of us as a human being should have at least once every day.

As long as our senses dominate our thinking, we remain ignorant of the real order of the creation. Until we are in conscious contact with the word, we are limited by our physical perspective and our understanding remains distorted. As lord Jesus said:-

Many of us like to make plans. We make plans for the future and set goals we want to achieve at certain times of our life, such as getting a degree, getting that first pay cheque or getting married. Some of us may have our year planned out by January every year. Only after making bookings, schedules and timetables do we feel comfortable that everything is organized in our lives. Plans are important because they help us define what we need to accomplish. They b

Underneath the picture was the caption; God is watching you. The little boy became strategy with strangely qui
According to Roger Von Oech who said “Most people think of success and failure as opposites, but when they are actually products of the same process.” But when you come to think of it, it is failures that give meaning to success. Wherever you have success, there is bound to be failure. The two go together. It is failure that draws out the best that within us. It is failure that unfolds

What happens just after so-called death (death of the gross body)? A person suddenly finds himself in an absolutely new environment just after his death.

How will he react to such a situation? The beginning of such a new life after so-called death is t

There is an old legend which tells of a king who could not understand the language of birds.
One day, as he was walking in his garden, he heard the birds saying, “The king knows a little that death had an appointment with his favourite page that evening.”
The king was disturbed. He wanted to save his favourite page. So he gave him the fastest steed and asked him to leave the country and go to a remote place before sunset.

From earliest childhood we are encouraged to think of ourselves as unique individuals and to develop our individuality. From the spiritual perspective this is an illusion strengthened by the present world view which emphasizes individual rights and personal freedom. We fail to see that when we think of ourselves this way we are. Simply seeing our reality of mind and body and ignoring our common spiritual reality.

The world is driven to unhappiness and frustration because it is driven by a sequence of desires. These waves’ means to fulfill. People resort to any means to fulfill their wishes. This could involve taking recourse to lying, harming others or damaging the environment. All religions have, therefore, condemned desire as the root cause of unhappiness. But when a desire is fulfilled we feel happy, not because our wish has b
Love is like fragrance that transcends through space and over oceans Love is practiced at three levels, physical which is perceived by sense; love at mental affects our mind and intellect.

Love at spiritual level is ever lasting. That love is shared by two souls and not bodies. Tha

The practice of silence is one of my favourite ideals and I have written and spoken about the same whenever I could.

Forgiveness has been defined as a process of ceasing to feel resentment against someone or to pardon someone. “To cling to resentments is to harm one, to walk the way of spiritual death. To choose to let go of resentments is to walk the way that leads to a life of freedom and fulfillment. The person who holds on to anger or resentment is, without his knowing it, causing damage to himself from within. The person who forgives enters a life of gentle peacefulness.

If you want crisis, need to sink in sense-enjoyment, enter the cycle of births and deaths, then you do need more goods or belongings. If you long for known is sufficient, not less, for one’s welfare. There is thus neither any need to know more nor to acquire more. Salvation – “Kalyana” – is undoubtedly possible with whatever we know or have.
