September 24th


Love is sacrificing lower for the higher. Love is selflessness. Love is taking pain to give joy. Love is having a big heart of tolerance and forgiveness. Love is guidance without imposing. Love is remaining detached and doing the best for all. Love is experiencing independent and causeless joy within yourself. Attachment is working "for joy", whereas love is working "out of joy". Love is striving to replace bad habits with good ones. Love is being regular in doing some chosen good engagements every day. Love is thinking and understanding better the wise ways of living. Love is having faith in someone noble and seeking their company very often. Love is doing something difficult every day, because it's good for you. Love is accepting mistakes and not justifying them. Love is believing that one day I will be a better human being, a more fulfilled and content being. Love is treating someone else's pain as yours, and your own pain less important than theirs. Loving is losing oneself for higher values and virtues! In this losing, one wins and finds oneself.

Will add more reflections on more topics in response to this thread!

I should behave according to what is right, and not according to what I like. Because that what is right, is right for a reason! Even if I dislike it in the beginning, I must walk on the right, slowly I will develop liking for the right. Right is that which serves me long-term, even if it doesn't bring any immediate pleasure.

Each one of us need support and love. Do we not? Not just support and love, but perfect support and perfect love. Not just happiness, each one of us want perfect, limitless, infinite happiness. Can we get it? No, no one / no object / no situation, nothing in the world can provide it. Everything in the world can provide limited. 

It's the love for a higher cause, a higher ideal, a bigger altar -that path alone provides what one truly needs. Give up looking for happiness where it's not, and turn yourself to where it is.

Once there was a salesperson who said to his boss, "I am done with it. I am going to quit my job." When the boss asked why, the person said "Everywhere I go to sell the product I am insulted so much." 

See what the boss responded. Boss says-

"In my 20 years of career as a salesman, people have kicked me out, thrown my suitcase out of the window, shouted at me, but insult? No, never."

Moral of the story: World presents you situations, but how you take them makes you happy or sad. Be such a way that you remain happy no matter what comes your way. See things in good light. How you see is how you become. See dark and you become a dark personality. See goodness and you become a good personality. Emit light from within you.

Do something difficult to push your limits. Something that is right and not easy for you, but it is good for you. Do it for some time every day and you'll see a difference!

Power of Good Company


You are what your company is. So if your company is wise person, good-hearted person etc., then you feel calmer and better. You become a good human being because of your company. Conflicts in you start to resolve because of regular dosage of good company. 

Good company is not just of another human being. But also of kind of books you read, videos you watch, places you go to, thoughts you entertain, and the kind of food you intake. Make all of it healthy and you will see yourself becoming healthy in mind and calm and happier in personality!

Who is a fool?

Once there was a donkey who said to a tiger, "Grass is blue!" Tiger corrected and said "No, grass is green." But again and again the donkey kept saying "Grass is blue! Grass is blue!"

Finally, the tiger said I am going to bring this up in front of the Judge Lion. The case was presented in front of the judge. Lion heard both sides and concluded that the tiger must be punished one week of silence. Baffled Tiger asked the lion, "Isn't grass green? Why have you punished me?" Lion said (hear the lion's reply)-

"You are right, grass is green. But you did two mistakes. You wasted your time over a silly argument with the donkey. And then you wasted my time too! You deserve punishment, therefore!"


Moral of the story- Never argue with someone not ready to listen to you and waste time like that. Give your time to someone who has some faith in you and will be benefitted by what you say.

Receiving and Giving

It is a fact that I can't give before I receive first. How can I give that what I don't have? If I don't feel loved, I cannot give love. If I don't feel peace, I cannot radiate peace. If I don't feel safe, I cannot help another feel safe. I can give only that I had received from some source.

So, what is the source from which I receive? The source should be such that it will never disappoint me, and available for me whenever I need it. It cannot be a person, because a person is not always available and most of the times falls short of my expectations from them. So my source of love needs to be something abstract, like a book that guides me, a stream of knowledge, a teacher/Guru who is an instrument in delivering that knowledge to me (the teacher might disappear but the knowledge will remain -so that's a healthy and reliable source of love). The source could also be my belief in a higher power that protects me and loves me. The source could be the values I stick to because I find them valuable. Think of a reliable source! 

And when you go out to give/share what you received from your source, remember to do it as an offering to the source and not with any other attitude.

Sacrifice and Compromise

Sacrifice is when you give up lower for higher. Compromise is when you give up higher for lower. For example, you sacrifice your sleep for waking up early, but compromise waking up early for laziness. Think of what's good for you, and sacrifice bad habits / low tendencies for cultivating a good habit / higher tendency in you. These higher tendencies alone can raise the quality of your life!
