All beings are flowers strung on the selfsame string to make a multi colored garland for the Lord. You talk of international understanding, but it can come only, when the idea of difference and separateness inherent in the world and nation disappears and when man sees the God in all men. Religions are many, but the road is the same; flowers are many, but worship is the same; professions are many, but, living is the same. Life is an oblation poured in the fire of time.
Postponing spiritual discipline to old age is wrong decision
Postponing spiritual discipline to old age is wrong decision. Earn the precious reward, while you are young and fresh. It is never too soon to begin. The tongue, the eye, the ear, the hand and mind should all be trained from boyhood upwards to avoid evil. If these are kept clean and sacrosanct, the grace of God is won.

Jesus was compassion come in human form.
Jesus was compassion come in human form. He spread the spirit of compassion and conferred solace on the distressed and the suffering. Noticing the torture of birds and beasts at the Temple in Jerusalem, he reprimanded the vendors and drove them out of the precincts. He drew upon himself the anger of the priests. Good works always provoke the wicked. But one should not falter or fear when opposition obstructs. The challenge gives joy; it evokes hidden sources of strength; it brings down Grace to reinforce the effort. Pleasure springs during the interval between two pains.
Jesus sanctified his body by sacrificing it for saving others.
Jesus sanctified his body by sacrificing it for saving others. He was

was ready and willing for the ultimate sacrifice. One has to welcome
trouble as it provides a chance for sacrificing everything for
upholding truth and righteousness. Regard yourselves as embodiments
of Love and dedicate your lives, like Jesus did, to the service of
your fellowmen.

Do not seek to discover or discuss the evil in others, for the attempt will
tarnish your own mind. When you are engaged in searching for the faults and
failings of others, you are paving the way for developing those faults and
failings in yourself. Dwell on the good in others and, in time it will prove
to be an asset to you. The goodness latent in you will then be encouraged to
sprout and blossom. Every thought leaves an impression on the mind. Ideas
that are opposed to spiritual tendencies, that narrow the limits of love,
that provoke anger or greed, or that cause disgust - these have to be shut
out. This is a very essential discipline.

If I cannot unfold a rosebud, this flower is of God's design, then how can I have the wisdom to unfold this life of mine?
A young, new preacher was walking with an older, more seasoned preacher in the garden one day. Feeling a bit insecure about what God had for him to do, he was asking the older preacher for some advice.
The older preacher walked up to a rosebush and handed the young preacher a rosebud and told him to open it without tearing off any petals. The young preacher looked in disbelief at the older preacher and was trying to figure out what a rosebud could possibly have to do with his wanting to know the will of God for his life and ministry.
But because of his great respect for the older preacher, he proceeded to try to unfold the rose, while keeping every petal intact. It wasn't long before he realized how impossible this was to do.
Noticing the younger preacher's inability to unfold the rosebud without tearing it, the older preacher began to recite the following poem:
It is only a tiny rosebud,
A flower of God's design;
But I cannot unfold the petals
With these clumsy hands of mine.
The secret of unfolding flowers
Is not known to such as I.
GOD opens this flower so sweetly,
Then, in my hands, they die.
If I cannot unfold a rosebud,
This flower of God's design,
Then how can I have the wisdom
To unfold this life of mine?
So I'll trust in Him for leading
Each moment of my day.
I will look to Him for His guidance
Each step of the pilgrim way.
The pathway that lies before me,
Only my Heavenly Father knows.
I'll trust Him to unfold the moments,
Just as He unfolds the rose.

Do not worry about the appearance
of being good.

to understand you.
When you are relaxed

If you cannot help another, at least avoid doing him harm or causing his pain...
The holy culture of this ancient
land has been spoilt by just one impurity;
intolerance of another's success, prosperity or progress.
If you cannot help another,
at least avoid doing him harm or causing him pain.
That itself is a great service.
What right have you to find fault with
another or talk evil of him?
When you say that nothing can ever
happen on earth without His Will,
why get annoyed or angry?
Your duty is to cleanse yourself
and engage in your own inner purification.
That endeavor will bring you the co-operation
of all good men and you will find strength and joy welling up within you.

with the "Left" hand and to hold
the Lord with the "Right" hand.

the hold of the left hand and clinch
tightly the right hold with the right hand

and miserable body for good.

Shreyas constitute all desires
