Persuasion: Don't change the world, change yourself

Unconditional Love

Here is a story about lord Krishna that will tell us
what true love is about. Krishna, while living in
Dwarka with his favourite wife Rukmani, would very
often softly utter to himself, "O Radha, O Radha."
Rukmani felt jealous and asked him why he kept
remembering Radha so often. Krishna did not say
anything. He just smiled.
A few days later, Krishna complained of stomach
ache. Rukmani gave him medicines, but the pain did not
go away. He kept moaning in pain.
Krishna told her that only a little charanamrita
(blessed water) of a person who truly loved him would
put an end to his agony. He begged Rukmani to give him
some of her charanamrita. A shocked Rukmani refused:
?how can I commit such a terrible sin? You are the
lord of all that be, and if I gave you my charanamrita
I would surely go to hell.?
Krishna than asked Rukmani to send an attendant to
Vrindavan and try and procure some charanamrita from
someone there. Soon the attendant returned with a
cupful of charanamrita and as Krishna sipped it, all
the pain disappeared.
He then asked the attendant, ?Who gave you this
charanamrita?? the attendant replied, ?no one in
Vrindavan was ready to give it on learning it was for
lord Krishna. Then one young woman came running up to
me and gave me this cup. Her companions cautioned her,
?you **** Radha, you are committing the greatest sin.
But she did not care. She said, ?I don?t care about
what happens to me but I cannot bear to see my beloved
Krishna in pain.?
Krishna turned to rukmani standing by his side and
said, ?Radha is not afraid of going to hell for me.
She only thinks about me. So if Radha loves me so
much, should I also not long for her??
This is what true love is about. It is
unconditional.
Sacrifice is the most important characteristics of
true love

Don't change the world, change yourself

Once upon a time, there was a king who ruled a prosperous country. One day, he went for a trip to some distant areas of his country. When he was back to his palace, he complained that his feet were very painful, because it was the first time that he went for such a long trip, and the road that he went through was very rough and stony.

He then ordered his people to cover every road of the entire country with leather. Definitely, this would need thousands of cows' skin, and would cost a huge amount of money.

Then one of his wise servant dared himself to tell the king, "Why do you have to spend that unnecessary amount of money ? Why don't you just cut a little piece of leather to cover your feet?"

The king was surprised, but he later agreed to his suggestion, to make a "shoe" for himself.
There is actually a valuable lesson of life in this story : to make this world a happy place to live, you better change yourself - your heart; and not the world.

I'm sure this is one thing each one of us would want to do. This world might not seem to be a perfect place for you to be. Just try to make sure you are not hurt and you don't hurt others . . Wear your shoe

AN OLD MAN LETTER

An old man lived alone in Minnesota. He wanted to spade his potato garden,
but it was very hard work. His only son, who would have helped him, was in prison.
The old man wrote a letter to his son and mentioned his situation:

Dear Son,

I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won't be able to plant my potato garden this year. I hate to miss doing the garden,
because your mother always loved planting them. I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. If you were here, all my troubles would be over.
I know you would dig the plot for me, if you weren't in prison.

Love, Dad

Shortly, the old man received this telegram:

"For Heaven's sake, Dad, don't dig up the garden!! That's where I buried the GUNS!!"

At 4 a.m. the next morning, a dozen FBI agents and local police officers showed up and dug up the entire garden without finding any guns.

Confused, the old man wrote another note to his son telling him what
happened, and asked him what to do next.

His son's reply was: "Go ahead and plant your potatoes, Dad.. It's the best I could do for you from here."

Moral: NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE IN THE WORLD, IF YOU HAVE DECIDED TO DO SOMETHING DEEP FROM YOUR HEART YOU CAN DO IT. IT IS THE THOUGHT THAT MATTERS...

Happy & unhappy moments come in life its a cycle

ILLUSTRATION:-

One says: 1 men brought 1 horse he was happy n proud.
Next say that horse ran away. Then he became unhappy n said that horse was like this only.

4th say he’s son was goin somewhere on d horse & fell down 4m horse & fractured his leg. Men think horse is very bad.
5th say many army officers came bcoz war was gonna happen.they took 1 person from each house. Now army people didn’t take his son bcoz of d fracture. He was very happy. He think its good my son’s leg got fractured. So life is cycling… it goes on.
Happy & unhappy moments come in life its a cycle.

Attitude

This is attitude IF AN EGG IS BROKEN BY AN OUTSIDE FORCE..A LIFE ENDS. IF AN EGG BREAKS FROM WITHIN...... .LIFE BEGINS. GREAT THINGS ALWAYS BEGIN FROM WITHIN .

This is attitude IT'S BETTER TO LOSE YOUR EGO TO THE ONE YOU LOVE. THAN TO LOSE THE ONE YOU LOVE ....... BECAUSE OF EGO

This is attitude WHY WE HAVE SO MANY TEMPLES, IF GOD IS EVERYWHERE ? A WISE MAN SAID : AIR IS EVERYWHERE, BUT WE STILL NEED A FAN TO FEEL IT .

This is attitude WHEN YOU TRUST SOMEONE TRUST HIM COMPLETELY WITHOUT ANY DOUBT....... AT THE END YOU WOULD GET ONE OF THE TWO : EITHER A LESSON FOR YOUR LIFE OR A VERY GOOD PERSON (Hillary and Tensing in picture)

This is attitude LIFE IS NOT ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO ACT TRUE TO YOUR FACE ........ IT'S ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO REMAIN TRUE BEHIND YOUR BACK

This is attitude SOLDIER : SIR WE ARE SURROUNDED FROM ALL SIDES BY ENEMIES , MAJOR : EXCELLENT ! WE CAN ATTACK IN ANY DIRECTION.

This is attitude THE WORST IN LIFE IS "ATTACHMENT " IT HURTS WHEN YOU LOSE IT. THE BEST THING IN LIFE IS " LONELINESS " BECAUSE IT TEACHES YOU EVERYTHING AND, WHEN YOU LOSE IT, YOU GET EVERYTHING.

This is attitude "You never conquer a mountain. You stand on the summit a few moments; then the wind blows your footprints away." -Arlene Blum

This is attitude “I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.” Chinese proverb

This is attitude “The greatest waste in the world is the difference between what we are and what we could become.” Ben Herbste

LIFE IS RACE - IF U WILL NOT RUN U WILL BE LIKE BROKEN ANDAAA - - -

Friends this phrase is something which is roaming here and there nowadays - of course due to movie namely 3 IDIOTS. Not bad - in todays time our youths, normally teenagers, young generations ( let me coveredup each one) are very much and very fast get attracted towards entertianment. What is being shown and what is being more attractive and in this media plays a superb role - yes of course Entertainment Media and I didn't deny of course we have to refresh our mind and that is very important during learning process.


Dear Friends, I am not feeling any trouble to find and to say that - Of course todays life of students is somewhat like this only - LIFE has no doubt became Race - U have to Run - what run - you have to be very quick - step u miss, somebody will take that chance and u will be like what had happened - u will just stare yourself - and thats it.

Yes, today life of the students has gone drastic changes - but Friends, of course I am very satisfied in saying that no doubt - today students has also got the guts to face any challenges and to face any hardships, yet i didnt deny some it happens, students got frustrated and got tensed and take steps which is of course, very unbearable, yet we salute the patience of those - not only students those persons also - who face hardships in life and yet they stand still and struggle and one day, they are going to conquer the battle which is the wish for such type of persons.

This topic of LIFE is very amazing and unpredictable - nobody can predict in next moment who is going to take what step - If one is taking the life seriously, possibility is there the other person will just ignore the situation, it is happening in todays world - and thus life just goes on -

CONCLUSION -
But one thing is very sure - LIFE is Race - if u have to win - u have to be steady - and you have to just go on - just dont give up - Kaamyaab banna hai to Kaabil bano dost - Kaamyaabi Saali Jhak maar ke aayegi -

Azam says - Be Sincere not serious - Success always comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it...

LIFE - SITUATIONS IN LIFE

Life depends on predictions, Life depends on genuineness, Life depends on faithfulness, Life depends on what???? Yes this is the question, in which involves, lots of answers. Sometimes - Life is miserable also, Life is cumbersome, Life is pathetic. This are the word given by us - by the human beings - this is what we thought our life is. We the humans gives lots of words, lots of phrases, lots of Exaggerated statements to life.

Life depends on give, Life depends on rising and shining, Life depends on pleasures, Life depends on joy.
But at the same time we have to see opposite also, rather we have to accept the fact also - that is
1) Life just doesn't depends on give, it depends on give and take,
2) Life just doesn't depends on rishing and shining, it also sometimes shows us the ground also, i.e., sometimes due to failure we feel like what happened -
3) Life just doesn't depends on pleasure, it also depends on what we sacrifice.
4) Life just doesn't depends on joy, it also has within its fold sorrows, not just but lots of!!!!!!

However, if u see the other factors which is being defined above, the first factors without second factor is incomplete, is of no enjoyment rather. See - there are many criterions but let us abridge the things, shorten the things so that we must understand it - Let me make myself very clear - LIFE is not the concept which I can increase or decrease I just cannot explan it. But for understanding purpose, let us consider some things.

What is being stated above the 4 Fundas (of course not from anywhere made exclusively by me) rather 4 Facts of life is enough to discuss many things.

1st FUNDA
Life without give and take, is not attributable, is of no characteristics - Rather human behaviour mostly believes on give and take, what we give, whatsoever, u think in ur mind, but take it (not for granted) from me - everybody in this world, in this universe, is bind on it, give and take concept. What we give, we expect little bit return.

2nd FUNDA
This one is very critical, very much harsh - rishing and shining and downfalls are part of human anatomy, human structure. If today u are rising and shining, just dont predict that is going to be rather for always (rather somebody will be against it - but it is negative approach towards life and which is truth, if someone is always rising and shining, it is not like that he is very much blessed with that - so comments and suggestions are welcome regarding this) So, but it is not like that - u will always rise and always sometime u will also going to feel downfall, like this we must prepared ourselves to face the downfall, it is just a view for life AND if there is downfall in the starting, very much stress u have to face, very much depressed situations come in between ur life, just gave it a BIG HUG, just accept the challenge, you will feel fantastic - you will get the strength to fight further - that is the true taste of life - of course you need some support at that time - basically Family support and Friends support. I strongly believe in this support only, which is very much enough, which is like a Strong wall for us, to stand for us. ok thats it......

3rd FUNDA and 4th FUNDA
This two Fundas are one and the same, view is different. Actually, Life is a combination of Happiness and Sorrows, which is there and this fact is being accepted by everyone. But Happiness after Sorrows gives lots of calmness and coolness. Life is a strong combination of both.

But for the above 3rd and 4th Funda, sometimes it may happen, in somebody's pocket Happiness is more and Sorrows are less and in somebody's pocket Sorrows are more and Happiness is less, it is ones own destiny. But howsoever may be the destiny, one must not leave the courage to leave life happily.


Friends let us make the conclusion now -
Friends I dont know, this is very easy for everyone to see somebodies sorrows and all like that, But it can truly be fealt only by the one who must have face that - I am just not talking about Students life, It can be any phase of life - What we can do as a Friend or as any person with any relation, we can just give condolence or we just try to understand, but we cannot realise or we cannot feel the heat of that harshness. But it is truly good, if somebod understands us - thats the big thing and that is truly blessing.

Thats why Life is -
Life is pleasant, Life is charming, Life is beautiful, Life is Enchanting (delightful - wonderful )

An Interview With God

"So, you would like to interview me?" GOD asked.

"If you have time," I said.

GOD smile. "My time is eternity... what questions do you have in mind for me?"

"What surprises you the most about humankind?"

GOD answered...

"That they get bored with childhood, that they rush to grow up, and then long to be children again."

"That they lose their health to make money... and then lose their money to restore their health."

"That by thinking anxiously about the future, they forget the present, such that they live in neither the present nor the future."

"That they live as if they would never die, and die as though they had never lived."

GOD's hand took mine... and we were silent for a while.

And then I asked, "As a parent, what are some of life's lessons you want your children to learn?"

GOD replied, "To learn they cannot make anyone love them. All they can do is let themselves be loved."

"To learn that it is not good to compare themselves to others."

"To learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness."

"To learn that it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in those they love, and it can take many years to heal them."

"To learn that a rich person is not one who has the most, but is one who needs the least."

"To learn that there are people who love them dearly, but simply do not yet know how to express or show their feelings."

"To learn that two people can look at the same thing, and see it differently."

"To learn that it is not enough that they forgive one another, but they must also forgive themselves."

"Thank you for your time," I said humbly.

"Is there anything else you would like your children to know?"

GOD smiled, and said... "Just know that I am here." "Always."
