Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God



By purity of heart alone is the holy Eternal attained.
Adi Granth
*

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
Matthew 5.8
*

Even as a mirror stained by dust shines brilliantly when it has been cleansed,
So the embodied one, on seeing the nature of the Self, becomes unitary, his end attained, from sorrow freed.
Svetasvatara Upanishad 2.14
*

For everything there is an appropriate way of polishing; the heart's polishing is the remembrance of God.
Hadith of Tirmidhi
*

A pure heart is as a mirror; cleanse it with the burnish of love and severance from all save God that the true sun may shine within it and the eternal morning dawn.
Seven Valleys and Four Valleys, 21
*

Purity of speech, mind, senses and a compassionate heart are needed by one who desires to rise to the divine platform.
Chanakya
*

Nobody is more dangerous than he who imagines himself pure in heart; for his purity, by definition, is unassailable.
James A Baldwin

There is no religion greater than truth and a truthful person knows no fear.



There is no religion greater than truth and a truthful person knows no fear.

Rig Veda
*

Every noble work is bound to face problems and obstacles. It is important to check your goal and motivation thoroughly. One should be very truthful, honest and reasonable. One's actions should be good for others and for oneself as well. Once a positive goal is chosen, you should decide to pursue it all the way to the end. Even if it is not realised, at least there will be no regret.

The XIV Dalai Lama
*

What is true is that honesty is incompatible with the amassing of a large fortune.

M K Gandhi
*

The first thing is to be honest with you. You can never have an impact on society if you have not changed yourself. Great peacemakers are all people of integrity, of honesty and humility.

Nelson Mandela
*

There is no pillow as soft as a clear conscience.

Anger deprives a sage of his wisdom, a prophet of his vision




Anger deprives a sage of his wisdom, a prophet of his vision.

The Talmud
*

Overcome anger with love.

Dhammapada 223
*

Anger dissolves affection...Therefore, we should subvert anger by forgiveness.

Samanasuttam 135-36
*

You can overcome the forces of negative emotions, like anger and hatred, by cultivating their counter-forces, like love and compassion.

The XIV Dalai Lama
*

Anger is a great force. If you control it, it can be transmuted into a power which can move the whole world.

Swami Sivananda
*

Anybody can become angry - that is easy, but to be angry with the right person and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose, and in the right way - that is not within everybody's power and is not easy.

Aristotle
*

With these entreaties, O Ahura Mazda, may we not anger you, nor Truth or Best Thought, we who are standing at the offering of praises to you. You are the swiftest bringer of invigorations, and you hold power over benefits.

"Gahna Karmanyo Gathi" - Unfathomable are the ways of karma.



Every object in the universe is endowed with four characteristics: dharma, karma, prema and gyana. Of these, karma is the most talked about; it is also the most misunderstood. The Gita says: "Gahna Karmanyo Gathi" - Unfathomable are the ways of karma.

There are three types of karma:

Prarabha, sanchita and agami.


The first is latent karma, an impression or seed of action.


The second is karma as action, and the third is karma as result.


Prarabha means 'begun'; the action that is already manifesting and that is yielding its effect right now. You cannot avoid it or change it, as it is already happening.


Sanchita is accumulated karma. It is latent or manifested in the form of a tendency or impression in the mind.

Sanchita karma can be burned off by spiritual practices before it manifests.


Agami karma is the future karma of action; that which has not yet come and which will take effect in the future. If you commit a crime, you may not get caught today, but will live with the possibility that one day you may get caught.

Karma is also always bound by time, because every action has a limited reaction. If you do something good to people they will come to thank you and be grateful to you as long as they are experiencing the effect of your action. So, karma has only a limited sphere of its effect, be it good or bad.

It is often asked, "Why are good people made to suffer while those who commit injustice go unpunished?" Such questions arise when we see an event in its limited framework.


No good action will yield a bad result and no bad action will bring a good result. This is the law of karma. As you sow, so shall you reap.


If you sow a mango tree, some thorny bushes may come up because of the seeds present in the manure brought from somewhere else. It is not the mango seed that brings up the thorny bush. Your mango seed will bring mango fruit, in due course.

Karma is that which propels reincarnation. The stronger the impression, the greater the possibility of the next life being according to that. So, often you reincarnate like the person you hate or love. The mind which is full of different impressions leaves this body but the impressions await suitable situations to come back. So the last thought is very important. Whatever you do throughout your life, in the last moment your mind should be free and happy.

Our perception of suffering, of good and bad, is always relative. God is absolute reality; a witness of all. See God as a movie director, rather than as a judge. He has no ill feeling for the villain and no special favour for the hero. Each one is playing her role.

An awareness of dharma helps in comprehending the strange ways of karma. Whenever you see bad karma or someone suffering, you need to help. That is your dharma. If you do not do your dharma, then you incur bad karma for not having done your dharma. Take recourse in your dharma to transcend the bondage of karma and avoid getting stuck with events or personalities. Live with karma; don't be attached to it. ''See action in inaction and inaction in action,'' says the Gita. Awareness, alertness, knowledge and meditation will help erase past impressions. It has the strength to dissolve and destroy any karma and free you.

Past Present Future




Do not dwell in the past, do not dwell in the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.

Gautama Buddha

*

There is neither past nor future. There is only the present. Yesterday was the present to you when you experienced it, and tomorrow will be also the present when you experience it.

Ramana Maharshi

*

We should not fret for what is past, nor should we be anxious about the future; men of discernment deal only with the present moment.

Chanakya

*

We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves. If what we are now has been the result of our own past actions, it certainly follows that whatever we wish to be in future can be produced by our present actions; so we have to know how to act.

Swami Vivekananda

*

You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment.

Peace for One And Peace For All




Peace be to earth and to airy spaces!
Peace be to heaven, peace to the waters,
peace to the plants and peace to the trees!

Atharva Veda

*

Real peace of mind has no ups and downs; it cannot be partial in adversity and whole in prosperity.

Sri Sathya Sai Baba

*

Pleasure and pain are the two kinds of modifications of the mind. They are relative terms. That which gives pleasure to one man gives pain to another. That sage who identifies himself with the imperishable Self and stands as a spectator of the mental modifications enjoys supreme peace and infinite bliss.

Swami Sivananda

*

If a man sings of God and hears of Him,/ And lets love of God sprout within him/ All his sorrows shall vanish,/ And in his mind, God will bestow abiding peace.

Adi Granth

*

All the things that truly matter, beauty, love, creativity, joy and inner peace arise from beyond the mind.

Eckhart Tolle

*

When you've seen beyond yourself, then you may find, peace of mind is waiting there.

You may never know what results come of your actions




The awakened sages call a person wise when all his undertakings are free from anxiety about results; all his selfish desires have been consumed in the fire of knowledge. The wise, ever satisfied, have abandoned all external supports. Their security is unaffected by the results of their action; even while acting, they really do nothing at all. Stay free from expectations and from all sense of possession, with mind and body firmly controlled by the Self.

Bhagavad Gita 4.19-21

*

When we are motivated by compassion and wisdom, the results of our actions benefit everyone, not just our individual selves or some immediate convenience. When we are able to recognise and forgive ignorant actions of the past, we gain strength to constructively solve the problems of the present.

The XIV Dalai Lama

*

You may never know what results come of your actions, but if you do nothing, there will be no results.

M K Gandhi

*

What do you want to achieve or avoid? The answers to this question are objectives. How will you go about achieving your desired results? The answer to this you can call strategy.

Simple Take Care of Your Kidneys ...



Take Care Of Your Kidneys....







Years pass by and our kidneys are filtering the blood by removing salt, poison and any unwanted substances entering our body. With time, the salt accumulates and this needs to undergo cleaning treatments.

How are we going to do this?

It is very easy. First take a bunch of parsley and wash it clean. Then cut it in small pieces, put it in a pot, pour clean water and boil it for ten minutes. Let it cool down, then filter it and pour in a clean bottle and keep it inside refrigerator to cool.

Drink one glass daily and you will notice all salt and other accumulated poison coming out of your kidney by urination. Also you will be able to notice the difference which you never felt before.

Parsley is known as best cleaning treatment for kidneys and it is natural!

Beauty of a Woman






Beauty of a Woman

The beauty of a woman
Is not in the clothes she wears,
The figure she carries,
Or the way she combs her hair.


The beauty of a woman
Must be
seen from her eyes,
Because that is the doorway to her heart,
The place where love resides.


The beauty of a woman
Is not in a facial mole,
But true beauty in a woman
Is reflected in her soul.


It is the caring that she lovingly gives,
The passion that she shows,
The beauty of a woman
With passing years-only grows.


"Lucky is the man who is the first love of a woman,
but luckier is the woman who is the last love of a man.."
