MY PRAYER AT THE TEMPLE!

That evening as part of my daily routine, I left my footwear, washed my feet and face and entered the temple premises..

• "Have you done your duty for the day? If not, complete that Sacred Activity before coming to Me hereafter!"

Was the No 1 reminder from God to me..

• "Are you prepared to do that duty with ease and with a smile? Promise yourself to improve in that direction as much feasible!"

Was the next reminder from the Lord as I started doing my Pradakshinas round the Idol..

• "Are you prepared to do that duty with dedication? Promise yourself to improve in that direction as much feasible!"

Was one more reminder from the Almighty as I cleaned the floor around me, sat there and started the Prayer closing my eyes..

• "Are you prepared to do that duty with lessened expectations? Promise yourself to improve in that direction as much feasible!"

Was the then silent reminder from the Lord as I completed my Prayer..

• "Are you prepared to do that duty with a giving feeling? Promise yourself to improve in that direction as much feasible!"

Was the gentle reminder from the God as I got up and rang the Sacred Bell 3 times..

• "Are you prepared to do that duty with lessened consumption? Promise yourself to improve in that direction as much feasible!"

Was the then quiet reminder from the Lord as I was taking the Aarti..

• "Are you prepared to do that duty with no murmurs? Promise yourself to improve in that direction as much feasible!"

Was the important reminder from the Almighty as I was taking the Theertham offered..

• "Are you prepared to do that duty tiring out and wearing out more? Promise yourself to improve in that direction as much feasible!"

Was the valuable reminder from the Lord as I bowed down to offer my Salutations..

• "Are you prepared to do that duty with certain silence? Promise yourself to improve in that direction as much feasible!"

Was the subtle reminder from the Almighty as I started leaving the Place..

• "Inspite of having the busiest life with you, Know that you are Originally Alone in life. Be communicating with the Beauty of that Aloneness too for certain part of your daily life and be Blessed!"

Was the final reminder from the Almighty as I came out of the Temple Premises and headed home filled with an unknown joy in my heart!

THE IN AND OUT OF MONEY!

Money makes many things; one sure thing it makes is hole in the pocket of the unwise!

Money everywhere talks but never in front of wisdom!

Thousands are fooled by money; one in thousands, fools money!

Money is precious but character is more precious!

If I am careless with money, money dictates; if I am careful with money, money surrenders!

Spend lavishly, money is gone; store greedily, money becomes a burden; use wisely, money stays light!

MONEY..

Makes ONE Yield,

Makes ONE Yearn,

Makes ONE Young,

Makes ONE Yank,

Makes ONE Yap

But

Makes nONE Yawn!

The safe way of doubling money is to fold it and put in your pocket. (Kin Hubbard)

With money in your Pocket, you are wise, you are handsome and you sing well too. (Yiddish Proverb)

If your pockets gets empty, your faults will be many. (Libyan Proverb)

CAPABILITY.. WHAT'S IT IN OUR LIVES?

"I think, I am the most capable person!"

I said proudly..

"Based on what you are saying that?"

The person of deep wisdom queried..

"The fields I entered, I was 100% success in all!"

I replied..

"That alone will not prove your capability. It may be luck or they may be one time happenings!"

The wise person said..

"How can you say that so easily?"

I questioned back..

"Because capability is ever filled with dynamic qualities from a person that constantly show up as the person starts working with dedication and not mere talk of the achievements..

You know?

• Behind every able man, there are other able men. (Chinese Proverb)
• Great abilities produce great vices as well as virtues. (Greek Proverb)
• Able people can do more. (Chinese Proverb)
• God does not ask our ability but our availability. (Author Unknown)

As one starts showing the above said traits and give outputs constantly with a cheerful smile, the world sure recognizes the person and that recognition alone completes the definition of the word..

CAPABILITY OF A PERSON!"

Clarified the wise person with a smile!

LET ME JUST SMILE OR AS MUCH KEEP SILENCE! #BlogchatterBlogHop

Feedback given to me at any point of time is making me aware that I am/I am not as per the understanding of the person/s next to me..

The feedback can be appreciation of my actions or it can be criticism of my actions..

As long as my actions are as per my duty attached to me in that scenario, I should smile or keep silence for both appreciation and criticism..

Here alone problems come up many times, as I react to the comment, getting carried away for appreciation or feeling hurt for the criticism..

No way, being an ordinary human being with my own limitations, I instantly react to the comment and the related arguments surface and move on but the dust settles soon and clarity surfaces but this cycle with me goes on and on in my life as the powerful ignorance dictates me endlessly..

The only right discipline in this scenario of reactions is..

Let me not leave duties from my end at any point of time and beyond,

If it appeals to me, as much let me 

Retain a Smile 

Or 

Keep Silence

For all feedbacks given to me positive or negative!

*** When the negative feedback was given to the Great Saint that He was consuming without working, the Great Saint proclaimed that He need not work as he had no desires..

When asked how he'd survive without work, He smiled and said,

"Some of you may feed me.. If not, I go hungry and in process if the body perishes, let it!"

*** Whenever a Positive feed back was given to Him thru' praise, the Great Personality, feeling highly uncomfortable vehemently used to search for the defects in Him and as soon as found one used to declare, 

"I'm not that great.. I have a defect!"

FOREVER, A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY IN FRONT!

"I'm looking out for an opportunity to make a fortune in my life and prosper!"

"Why look out for opportunity? Why not turn all your situations into opportunities of various gradations and go ahead meticulously that will boost your personality?"

"What do you mean? Opportunities come up in life. You can't create them yourself!"

"That's not the right way to look at opportunities!"

"How?"

"Suppose, you do hard work with honesty and sincerity. People around you develop faith in you and give more as well as better works to you for completion..

As the Proverbs and Quotes around us say the same..

• Opportunities are usually disguised as hard work, so most people don't recognize them. (Ann Landers)
• In the middle of opportunity lies hard work. (Albert Einstein)
• Opportunity is missed by most people because it comes dressed in overalls and looks like work. (Thomas Alwa Edision)
• The opportunity that God sends does not wake him up who sleeps. (Senegalese Proverb)
• The bigger the challenge, the greater the opportunity. (Author Unknown)

"But that may not get me, the money I need!"

"Money is secondary here. You need to live life full; that's the prime purpose of life on earth. Here alone

Every situation next to you remains an opportunity

Face it boldly and you lose or win, they ever remain as both sides of your Personality Growth.

• If you win, you are strong as you are equipped to help the world as well as yourself,
• If you lose, you are equally strong as you are equipped to teach yourself as well as the world..

It is a win-win situation and the Quotes around say the same..

• A pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity, an optimist sees opportunity in every difficulty. (Winston Churchill)
• The door of opportunity is is wide open if you are prepared. (Author Unknown)
• Opportunity dances with those who are ready on the dance floor. (H. Jackson Brown Jr.)

THE ULTIMATE TRUTH IN LIFE!

When ignorance rules and doubt is seen nowhere..

"100% I know!"

Says one firmly..

When ignorance lessens and doubt surfaces..

"How much I know?"

Questions within one more..

When ignorance further lessens and doubt starts questioning..

"Do I really know?"

Expresses doubt, the 3rd one..

When ignorance slides down and doubt deepens..

"I know.. I don't know.. I know.. I don't know.."

Talks the 4th one on and off..

When knowledge surfaces and doubt vanishes..

"How can I know?"

Says the 5th one..

When knowledge continues rising and clarity surfaces..

"I don't know!"

Firmly says, the 6th one..

When knowledge establishes and clarity goes up and up..

"Nothing I know!"

Declares the 7th one..

That understanding, as it deepens within infinitely in unknown time and when the influence of the 3 Psychic knots Viz.,

Brahma Granthi
Vishnu Granthi and
Rudra Granthi

Vanishes allowing free flow of Spiritual Knowledge,

A Great Personality is born spreading around the

COSMIC KNOWLEDGE AND ORIGINAL SILENCE

Among millions of people helping them to rise in their lives!

MY STRENGTH.. WHERE IT LIES TRULY?

• If your strength is small, don't carry heavy burdens; if your words are worthless, don't give advice. (Chinese Proverb)
• You know a man by the sweat of his brow and the strength of his word. (Arabian Proverb)
• One test of strength is the ability to take defeat graciously. (Lewise Korns)
• Lower your voice and strengthen your argument. (Lebanese Proverb)

"I have my own strengths!"

I asserted..

"May I know the contents of your strengths?"

The person of deep wisdom queried..

• "I can Cajole opposing people thru' my narrative skills..
• I can Conquer challenging people thru' my arguing powers..
• I can Convince agitating people thru' my persuading skills..
• I can Comfort hurt people thru' my assurance capacities..
• I can Cater to illiterate people thru' my knowledge skills..
• I can Correct erring people thru' my advising capacities..
• I can Console suffering people thru' my understanding skills..

The 7 Cs of my strengths!"

I replied with a big smile..

"You are sure a dictionary of reference to people around you. As you do these activities, can you equally remain

Compassionate with people, 

THE SACRED 8TH C OF YOUR STRENGTH?"

The person of wisdom asked..

"What do you mean? I am automatically Compassionate with people, when I do all these!"

"May be, but before asserting on your talking strengths,

Check, double Check and re-Check

Yourself..

Many times, as you do these activities, without your own knowledge, you carry a superior feeling with you expecting the person to be ever below your level..

That way your helping remains no helping at all..

Instead, if you remain Compassionate there, that is a humble feeling in you filled with endless love for that person's betterment with no reference of comparison..

WHAT IS THE TRUE STRENGTH OF YOURS, IN THIS SCENARIO?"
