You are not late

One of the best messages I have read in recent times :

Time Will Come !

New York is 3 hours ahead of California but it does not mean that California is slow, or that New York is fast. Both are  working based on their own "Time Zone."

Some one is still single. Someone got married and 'waited' 10 years before having a child. There is another who had a baby within a year of marriage.

Someone graduated at the age of 22, yet waited 5 years before securing a good job; and there is another who graduated at 27 and secured employment immediately !

Someone became CEO at 25 and died at 50 while another became a CEO at 50 and lived to 90 years.
Everyone works based on their 'Time Zone',

People can have things worked out only according to their pace.
Work in your “time zone”.

Your Colleagues, friends, younger ones might "seem" to go ahead of you.
May be some might "seem" behind you.

Don't envy them or mock them, it's their 'Time Zone.'
You are in yours!

Hold on, be strong, and stay true to yourself. All things shall work together for your good.

You’re not late … You are not early ... you’re very much On time!😊👍stay blessed.
You Are In Your Time Zone....🌐

Keep yourself away from negative enrgy🙆

Very meaningful
An elephant took a bath in a river and was walking on the road. When it neared a bridge, it saw a pig fully soaked in mud coming from the opposite direction. The elephant quietly moved to one side, allowed the dirty pig to pass and then continued its onward journey.
The unclean pig later spoke to its friends in arrogance, “See how big I am; even the elephant was afraid of me and moved to one side to let me pass”.
On hearing this, some elephants questioned their friend, the reason for its action. Was it out of fear?
The elephant smiled and replied, “I could have easily crushed the pig under my leg, but I was clean and the pig was very unclean. By crushing it, my leg will become dirty and I wanted to avoid it. Hence, I moved aside.”
This story reveals :
Realized souls will avoid contact with negativity not out of fear, but out of desire to keep away from impurity though they are strong enough to destroy the impurity.
You need not react to every opinion, every comment, or every situation.
Kick the drama and keep going ahead :)

Just Drop

*Just Drops!*

Recently, when I was going to bed after using my bathroom, I started hearing sound of drops of water from the tap in slow successions, but since it was dropping into an empty bucket, I decided to let it be.

But, alas! When I woke up the next morning, around 5am, the bucket was almost full! I was surprised that just drops even in such slow successions could produce that much. I couldn't help it, 'Just drops?!' I questioned rhetorically.

But the following night, I made sure that the tap in my bathroom was locked completely and I checked the bucket and saw that it was empty, though wet. Then I went to sleep.

I guess you already know what I saw the next morning. The bucket was not wet as I had left it, but it was now dry!

Then I realized the importance of a drop and how much difference it can make in all ramifications of one's life compared to a dry tap.

Imagine letting the drops be for a year, I would be scooping with drums at the end of the year!

So, how about that drop of savings?

How about that drop of kindness and love everyday?

How about a drop of reading useful books today and every day?

How about that drop of a verse of the scripture today and every day?

How about that drop of prayer today and every day?

How about a drop of worship today and every day?

How about a drop of step towards your God-given dream today and every day?

How about a drop of giving into your heavenly account?

What virtue and discipline will you start today in little drops?

Never neglect the importance of a drop, for when the harvest time comes, you would have made a big difference.

A blind beggar

🌹 एक अंधा लड़का एक इमारत की सीढ़ियों पर बैठा था. उसके पैरों के पास एक टोपी रखी थी. पास ही एक बोर्ड रखा था, जिस पर लिखा था, "मैं अंधा हूँ, मेरी मदद करो." टोपी में केवल कुछ सिक्के थे.

वहां से गुजरता एक आदमी यह देख कर रुका, उसने अपनी जेब से कुछ सिक्के निकले और टोपी में गिरा दिये. फिर उसने उस बोर्ड को पलट कर कुछ शब्द लिखे और वहां से चला गया. उसने बोर्ड को पलट दिया था जिससे कि लोग वह पढ़ें जो उसने लिखा था.

जल्द ही टोपी को भरनी शुरू हो गई. अधिक से अधिक लोग अब उस अंधे लड़के को पैसे दे रहे थे. दोपहर को बोर्ड बदलने वाला आदमी फिर वहां आया. वह यह देखने के लिए आया था उसके शब्दों का लोगों पर क्या प्रभाव पड़ा? अंधे लड़के ने उसके क़दमों की आहट पहचान ली और पूछा, "आप सुबह मेरे बोर्ड को बदल कर गए थे? आपने बोर्ड पर क्या लिखा था?"

उस आदमी ने कहा मैंने केवल सत्य लिखा था, मैंने तुम्हारी बात को एक अलग तरीके से लिखा, "आज एक खूबसूरत दिन है और मैं इसे नहीं देख सकता."

आपको क्या लगता है? पहले वाले शब्द और बाद वाले शब्द, एक ही बात कह रहे थे?

बेशक दोनों संकेत लोगों को बता रहे थे कि लड़का अंधा था. लेकिन पहला संकेत बस इतना बता रहा था कि वह लड़का अंधा है. जबकि दूसरा संकेत लोगों को यह बता रहा था कि वे कितने भाग्यशाली हैं कि वे अंधे नहीं हैं. क्या दूसरा बोर्ड अधिक प्रभावशाली था?

दोस्तों! यह कहानी हमें बताती है कि, जो कुछ हमारे पास है उसके लिए हमें आभारी होना चाहिए. रचनात्मक रहो. अभिनव रहो. अलग और सकारात्मक सोच रखो. लोगों को अच्छी चीजों की तरफ, समझदारी से आकर्षित करो.

जीवन तुम्हे रोने का एक कारण देता है,

तो तुम्हारे पास मुस्कुराने के लिए 10 कारण हैं...💐

UBUNTU - A very nice story from Africa ...

*UBUNTU* - A very nice story from Africa ...

The motivation behind the Ubuntu culture in Africa ...

An Anthropologist proposed a game to the African tribal children ...

He placed a basket of sweets near a tree

And made the children stand 100 metres away.

Then announced that whoever reaches first would get all the sweets in the basket.

When he said 'ready steady go!' ...

Do you know what these children did?

They all held each other's hands, ran together towards the tree, divided the sweets equally among themselves, ate the sweets and enjoyed it.

When the Anthropologist asked them why they did so,

They answered 'Ubuntu'.

Which meant -
_'How can one be happy when the others are sad?'_

Ubuntu in their language means -
_'I am because we are!'_

A strong message for all generations.
Let all of us always have this attitude and spread happiness wherever we go.

Let's have a *_Ubuntu_* Life ...

*I AM BECOS WE ARE*

Sacha Insaan

एक राजा का दरबार लगा हुआ था,

क्योंकि सर्दी का दिन था इसलिये

राजा का दरवार खुले मे लगा हुआ था.

पूरी आम सभा सुबह की धूप मे बैठी थी ..

महाराज के सिंहासन के सामने...

एक शाही मेज थी...

और उस पर कुछ कीमती चीजें रखी थीं.

पंडित लोग, मंत्री और दीवान आदि

सभी दरबार मे बैठे थे

और राजा के परिवार के सदस्य भी बैठे थे.. ..

उसी समय एक व्यक्ति आया और प्रवेश माँगा..

प्रवेश मिल गया तो उसने कहा

“मेरे पास दो वस्तुएं हैं,

मै हर राज्य के राजा के पास जाता हूँ और

अपनी वस्तुओं को रखता हूँ पर कोई परख नही पाता सब हार जाते है

और मै विजेता बनकर घूम रहा हूँ”..

अब आपके नगर मे आया हूँ

राजा ने बुलाया और कहा “क्या वस्तु है”

तो उसने दोनो वस्तुएं....

उस कीमती मेज पर रख दीं..

वे दोनों वस्तुएं बिल्कुल समान

आकार, समान रुप रंग, समान

प्रकाश सब कुछ नख-शिख समान था.. … ..

राजा ने कहा ये दोनो वस्तुएं तो एक हैं.

तो उस व्यक्ति ने कहा हाँ दिखाई तो

एक सी ही देती है लेकिन हैं भिन्न.

इनमें से एक है बहुत कीमती हीरा

और एक है काँच का टुकडा।

लेकिन रूप रंग सब एक है.

कोई आज तक परख नही पाया क़ि

कौन सा हीरा है और कौन सा काँच का टुकड़ा..

कोइ परख कर बताये की....

ये हीरा है और ये काँच..

अगर परख खरी निकली...

तो मैं हार जाऊंगा और..

यह कीमती हीरा मै आपके राज्य की तिजोरी मे जमा करवा दूंगा.

पर शर्त यह है क़ि यदि कोई नहीं

पहचान पाया तो इस हीरे की जो

कीमत है उतनी धनराशि आपको

मुझे देनी होगी..

इसी प्रकार से मैं कई राज्यों से...

जीतता आया हूँ..

राजा ने कहा मै तो नही परख सकूगा..

दीवान बोले हम भी हिम्मत नही कर सकते

क्योंकि दोनो बिल्कुल समान है..

सब हारे कोई हिम्मत नही जुटा पा रहा था.. ..

हारने पर पैसे देने पडेगे...

इसका कोई सवाल नही था,

क्योंकि राजा के पास बहुत धन था,

पर राजा की प्रतिष्ठा गिर जायेगी,

इसका सबको भय था..

कोई व्यक्ति पहचान नही पाया.. ..

आखिरकार पीछे थोडी हलचल हुई

एक अंधा आदमी हाथ मे लाठी लेकर उठा..

उसने कहा मुझे महाराज के पास ले चलो...

मैने सब बाते सुनी है...

और यह भी सुना है कि....

कोई परख नही पा रहा है...

एक अवसर मुझे भी दो.. ..

एक आदमी के सहारे....

वह राजा के पास पहुंचा..

उसने राजा से प्रार्थना की...

मै तो जनम से अंधा हू....

फिर भी मुझे एक अवसर दिया जाये..

जिससे मै भी एक बार अपनी बुद्धि को परखूँ..

और हो सकता है कि सफल भी हो जाऊं..

और यदि सफल न भी हुआ...

तो वैसे भी आप तो हारे ही है..

राजा को लगा कि.....

इसे अवसर देने मे क्या हर्ज है...

राजा ने कहा क़ि ठीक है..

तो तब उस अंधे आदमी को...

दोनो चीजे छुआ दी गयी..

और पूछा गया.....

इसमे कौन सा हीरा है....

और कौन सा काँच….?? ..

यही तुम्हें परखना है.. ..

कथा कहती है कि....

उस आदमी ने एक क्षण मे कह दिया कि यह हीरा है और यह काँच.. ..

जो आदमी इतने राज्यो को जीतकर आया था

वह नतमस्तक हो गया..

और बोला....

“सही है आपने पहचान लिया.. धन्य हो आप…

अपने वचन के मुताबिक.....

यह हीरा.....

मै आपके राज्य की तिजोरी मे दे रहा हूँ ” ..

सब बहुत खुश हो गये

और जो आदमी आया था वह भी

बहुत प्रसन्न हुआ कि कम से कम

कोई तो मिला परखने वाला..

उस आदमी, राजा और अन्य सभी

लोगो ने उस अंधे व्यक्ति से एक ही

जिज्ञासा जताई कि तुमने यह कैसे

पहचाना कि यह हीरा है और वह काँच.. ..

उस अंधे ने कहा की सीधी सी बात है मालिक

धूप मे हम सब बैठे है.. मैने दोनो को छुआ ..

जो ठंडा रहा वह हीरा.....

जो गरम हो गया वह काँच.....

जीवन मे भी देखना.....

जो बात बात मे गरम हो जाये, उलझ जाये...

वह व्यक्ति "काँच" हैं

और

जो विपरीत परिस्थिति मे भी ठंडा रहे.....

वह व्यक्ति "हीरा" है..!!...✍

The exact meaning of life

A must-read post please

The exact meaning of life !!!

A man died...

When he realized it, he saw God coming closer with a suitcase in his hand.

Dialog between God and Dead Man:

God: Alright son, it’s time to go

Man: So soon? I had a lot of plans...

God: I am sorry but, it’s time to go

Man: What do you have in that suitcase?

God: Your belongings

Man: My belongings? You mean my things... Clothes... money...

God: Those things were never yours, they belong to the Earth

Man: Is it my memories?

God: No. They belong to Time

Man: Is it my talent?

God: No. They belong to Circumstance

Man: Is it my friends and family?

God: No son. They belong to the Path you travelled

Man: Is it my wife and children?

God: No. they belong to your Heart

Man: Then it must be my body

God: No No... It belongs to Dust

Man: Then surely it must be my Soul!

God: You are sadly mistaken son. Your Soul belongs to me.

Man with tears in his eyes and full of fear took the suitcase from the God's hand and opened it...

Empty...

With heartbroken and tears down his cheek he asks God...

Man: I never owned anything?

God: That’s Right. You never owned anything.

Man: Then? What was mine?

God: your MOMENTS.

Every moment you lived was yours.

Do Good in every moment

Think Good in every moment

Thank God for every moment

Life is just a Moment.

Live it...

Love it...

Enjoy it...

Lets Jump

Put a frog into a vessel fill with water and start heating the water.
As the temperature of the water begins to rise, the frog adjust its body temperature accordingly.
The frog keeps adjusting its body temperature with the increasing temperature of the water. Just when the water is about to reach boiling point, the frog cannot adjust anymore. At this point the frog decides to jump out.
The frog tries to jump but it is unable to do so because it has lost all its strength in adjusting with the rising water temperature.
Very soon the frog dies.
What killed the frog?
Think about it!
I know many of us will say the boiling water. But the truth about what killed the frog was its own inability to decide when to jump out.
We all need to adjust with people & situations, but we need to be sure when we need to adjust & when we need to move on. There are times when we need to face the situation and take appropriate actions.
If we allow people to exploit us
physically, emotionally, financially, spiritually or mentally they will continue to do so.
Let us decide when to jump!

Karma

What is Karma?
A king was touring his kingdom on his elephant. Suddenly he stopped in front of a shop in the market and said to his minister, "I don't know why, but I want to hang the owner of this shop." The minister was shocked. But before he could ask the king why, the king had moved on.

The next day, the minister went to that shop dressed as one of the locals to see the shopkeeper. He casually asked him how his business was faring. The shopkeeper, a sandalwood merchant, reported sadly that he had hardly any customer. People would come to his shop, smell the sandalwood and then go away. They would even praise the quality of the sandalwood but rarely buy anything. His only hope was that the king would die soon. Then there would be a huge demand for sandalwood for performing his last rites. As he was the only sandalwood merchant around, he was sure the king's death would mean a windfall.

The minister now understood why the king had stopped in front of this shop and expressed a desire to kill the shopkeeper. Perhaps, the shopkeeper's negative thought vibration had subtly affected the king, who had, in turn, felt the same kind of negative thought arising within.

The minister; a noble man, pondered over the matter for a while. Without revealing who he was or what had happened the day before, he expressed a desire to buy some sandalwood. The shopkeeper was pleased. He wrapped the sandalwood and handed it over to the minister.

When the minister returned to the palace, he went straight to the court where the king was seated and reported that the sandalwood merchant had a gift for him. The king was surprised. When he opened the package, he was pleasantly surprised by the fine golden color of the sandalwood and its agreeable fragrance. Pleased, he sent some gold coins to the sandalwood merchant. The king also felt sorry in his heart that he had harbored unbecoming thoughts of killing the shopkeeper.

When the shopkeeper received the gold coins from the king, he was astounded. He began to proclaim the virtues of the king who had, through the gold coins, saved him from the brink of poverty. After some time, he recalled the morbid thoughts he had felt towards the king, and repented for having entertained such negative thoughts for his own personal goal.

If we have a good and kind thought for another person, that positive thought will come back to us in a favorable way. But if we harbor evil thoughts, those thoughts will come back to us as retribution.

"What is Karma?" asked Swami
Many replied, "our words, our deeds, our feelings, our actions......"

Swami shook his head and said

"Your thoughts are your Karma!"🙏

Problem

Do all problems have quick fix solutions?

How long can you wait when electricity goes away? How long can you tolerate being in a no-range zone? How quickly do you want to solve the problems in life?

One word less in most dictionaries today is ‘Patience’. Fast food, fast pace, fast cars, fast gadgets, what naturally follows is the need for fast solutions.

Krisna was born to solve a major problem in that era – Kansa. But He went away from Mathura and came back after 11 years to solve the problem. He probably wanted to teach us not to expect immediate solutions to all problems!

In fact many problems don’t need to be solved, they need to be just tolerated. This type of problem solving is called ‘Delayed Management’. Rather than attempting to find a quick fix solution, just delay trying to find a solution. With time many things change – the situation changes, your needs change, your mood changes. But most of all, your maturity level changes. Time is a good baker. But you have to be patient while the cake is baking.

Even gaps in playing of a drum, actually enhance the musical melody. So sometimes not doing anything is itself a solution.

So when we come across a problem about which you feel helpless, remember Lord Rama who having lost His wife, waited patiently for 4 months on the Malyavan hill waiting for the rainy season to get over.

An intelligent problem solver is not one who solves every problem, but one who knows which problems to solve and which to tolerate....

Gratitude

The 10th apple effect!!
A hunter once lost his way deep inside the jungle while chasing a deer. He used all his navigation skills but neither did he find any way out of the jungle nor could he find any food to eat for 8 days at a stretch. He started feeling so damn hungry that he could eat an entire elephant at one go. Disappointed, he lost all hope. And that is exactly when an apple tree caught his sight. He collected a dozen apples to feed him for the rest of his search.
As he ate the 1st apple, his joy knew no bounds and he just couldn't stop feeling grateful and blessed. He thanked life. He thanked God. He could not believe his luck when he ate the 1st apple but he was less grateful while having the 2nd apple and even lesser grateful when he had the 5th apple. Somehow, with each passing apple, the hunger still kept on increasing and the joy kept on reducing drastically. He just could not enjoy the 10th apple.
Why? He had already taken for granted the gift of having found an apple tree in the middle of a forest after 8 long days of wandering with hunger. When he took the 10th apple in his hand, he was still very hungry but he just did not feel like having it any more. Economics calls this diminishing marginal utility. I would like to call it diminishing gratitude, in simple words, taking things for granted. Or let’s just call it the 10th apple effect.
The 10th apple did not lack taste, it did not lack the potential to satisfy his hunger but the only thing lacking was his gratitude for finding food in the middle of the jungle.
The hunter represents us. And the apple represents the gifts that life gives us. The 10th apple represents our lack of gratitude for these gifts of life and our ‘take everything for granted’ attitude. As we continue receiving the gifts of life, our hunger, our greed keeps on increasing and the joy we get from these gifts diminishes.
The 10th apple is as sweet as the first apple. If the 10th apple fails to give you as much pleasure as the first one, nothing is wrong with the apple, everything is wrong with you. If you get bored on a dull day, it is not because the day is dull and boring. It is because your gratitude has become dull and boring. The gift of life for another day cannot be taken for granted. The Nth year of life should seem as exciting as the 16th year, as the 25th year, as the 50th year.
Never let the ‘10th apple effect’ make you take these gifts of life for granted. Never let your gratitude for life fade away. Happy life!

Tension

Read this small story, Hope that makes a BIG change in YOU.
The Professor began his class by holding up a glass with some water in it. He held it up for all to see & asked the students “How much do you think this glass weighs?
'50gms!/ 100gms!/ 125 gms' the students answered.
“I really don’t know unless I weigh it,” said the professor, “but, my question is:
What would happen if I held it up like this for a few minutes?
‘Nothing’  the students said.
‘Ok what would happen if I held it up like this for an hour?’ the professor asked.
‘Your arm would begin to ache’ said one of the student
“You’re right, now what would happen if I held it for a day?”
“Your arm could go numb,  you might have severe muscle stress & paralysis & have to go to hospital for sure!”
Ventured another student & all the students laughed
“Very good.
But during all this, did the weight of the glass change?” Asked the professor.
‘No’ Was the answer.
“Then what caused the arm ache & the muscle stress?”
The students were puzzled.
“What should I do now to come out of pain?” asked professor again.
“Put the glass down!” said one of the students
“Exactly!” said the professor.
Life’s problems are something like this.
Hold it for a few minutes in your head & they seem OK.
Think of them for a long time & they begin to ache.
Hold it even longer & they begin to paralyse you. You will not be able to do anything.
It’s important to think of the challenges or problems in your life, But EVEN MORE IMPORTANT is to ‘PUT THEM DOWN’ at the end of every day before you go to sleep…
That way, you are not stressed, you wake up every day fresh &strong & can handle any issue, any challenge that comes your way!
Moral : So, when you start your day today, Remember friend to 'PUT THE GLASS DOWN TODAY!'
