quotations

“A human being is a part of the whole, called by us ‘Universe,’ a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest – a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is akind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. Nobody is able to achieve this completely, but the striving for such achievement is in itself a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security.”– Albert Einstein

To grow in consciousness, we expand our perspectives on life. So how do we do that? The more we work with the universal — the concept of unity and wholeness, the more everything makes sense. Parts have meaning when they are understood to be parts of a bigger picture.

Consciousness is all about relationships — especially how the lower relates to the higher and how the darkness can exist within the light. Hold and experience contradictions like anger with love. Let opposites coexist in you without choosing one over the other.

“Higher consciousness, enLIGHTenment, comes from meaningful experiences and lessons passed with the understanding that there truly is only one law – the Law of Love. When one leads a life expressing this belief, the mind and heart begin to open to new realities, and other dimensional truths become known.”– Dr. Norma Milanovich & Dr. Shirley McCune

The ability to believe in impossible is faith. ( Shraddha )

Faith does not wait for miracles but produces them.

Our life begins with our cry.Our life ends with others cry.Try to utilize this gap with as much laugh as possible between these cries.

Life is a game of boomerangs.Our thoughts, deeds and words return to us,with great accuracy.

Leadership is about people.It is not a process of commanding but binding them together.

Ability may get you to top,but it takes character to keep you there!

Be more concerned with your character than with your reputation.Your character is what you really arewhile your reputation is merely what others think you are.

Where you are headed is more important than how fast you are going. Rather than always focusing on what’s urgent, learn to focus on what is really important.” — Stephen Covey Time management is all about making decisions. At each step of the way, we want to choose activities that best support what we want to do with our lives. To do this, we need to be clear about our short and long-term goals.

Here’s a general question to ask yourself often: “Is this the best use of my time in terms of meeting my goals?” Sometimes, of course, we don’t have any choice. But ask yourself honestly, “Could I take more control if I really wanted to?” Often, we play the victim because we don’t want to make the effort to change our behaviour.

“Time is a created thing. To say ‘I don’t have time,’ is like saying, ‘I don’t want to.'”– Lao-Tzu

Prayer doesn’t change the situation. but it changes our attitude to the situation & gives hope which in turn can change our entire life.

A relationship doesn’t shine by just shaking hands at the best of times. But it blooms by holding firmly in critical situations.

Jivan me saphal hone ke liye 3 factory lagao
1) Dimag me Ice factory.
2) Zuban par Sugar factory.
3) Dil me love factory.
Phir life hogi satisfactory..Ek din sagar ne nadi se pucha:
kab tak milti rahogi mujh khare jal se?
nadi ne haskar kaha:
jab tak tujh me mithas na aa jaye tab tak
Thats “RELATIONSHIP”.Dostana andaz Mujh se kisi ne pucha,
Tum sabko sms bhejhte ho ? Tumhe kya milta hai ?
Maine hass kar kaha, Dena Lena to Vyaapar hai,
Jo dekar kuch na mange, Wo hi to PYAR hai.1 tree makes 1 Lakh matchsticks.
But 1 matchstick can burn 1 Lakh trees.
Similarly 1 negative thought or doubt can burn thousands of
dreams….Be Positive!Chehre ki hasi se har ghum chupao,
Bahut kuch bolo par kuch na batao…
Khud na rutho kabhi par sabko manao
Ye Raaz he Zindagi ka, Bas Jite chale jaoWah prabhu kya therri leela:
Chuha Billi se darta hai,
Billi Kutte se darti hai,
Kutta Aadmi se darta hai,
Aadmi Biwi se darta hai,
Biwi Chuhhe se darti hai

“Don’t strew me with roses after I’m dead.
When Death claims the light of my brow
No flowers of life will cheer me: instead
You may give me my roses now!” — Thomas F. Healey

“The call of death is a call of love. Death can be sweet if we answer it in the affirmative, if we accept it as one of the great eternal forms of life and transformation.” — Hermann Hesse

30 second Speech by Bryan Dyson (CEO of Coca Cola)
“Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them – work, family, health, Friends and spirit and you’re keeping all of these in the Air.
You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back.But the other four Balls – Family, Health, friends and Spirit – are made of glass. If you drop one of these; they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for it.

All spiritual disciplines are done with a view to still the mind. The perfectly still mind is universal spirit.”— Swami Ramdas

Getting into the habit of meditating, praying and/or resting daily helps us pull back from our preoccupation with the material world. In silence and solitude, we have an opportunity to pay attention to what’s happening inside rather than outside.

When we do this consistently, we learn to relax and to quiet and detach from our mental chatter and our turbulent emotions. As we begin to witness ourselves in personality, we also begin to experience our soul.

“Meditation may require a lifetime to master, but it will have been a lifetime well spent. … If you want to judge your progress, ask yourself these questions: Am I more loving? Is my judgment sounder? Do I have more energy? Can my mind remain calm under provocation? Am I free from the conditioning of anger, fear, and greed? Spiritual awareness reveals itself as eloquently in character development and selfless action as in mystical states.”

— Eknath Easwaran

NEVER   CRY    FOR   ANY   RELATION   IN     LIFE
BECAUSE    FOR   THE   ONE   WHOM    YOU   CRY
DOES   NOT   DESERVE   YOUR TEARS
AND    THE    ONE   WHO    DESERVES
WILL   NEVER   LET   YOU    CRY……………..

TREAT   EVERYONE   WITH   POLITENESS
EVEN    THOSE   WHO   ARE   RUDE    TO   YOU,
NOT    BECAUSE   THEY   ARE   NOT    NICE
BUT    BECAUSE   YOU   ARE    NICE…………………..

NEVER    SEARCH   YOUR   HAPPINESS
IN   OTHERSWHICH    WILL    MAKE   YOU
FEEL    ALONE,RATHER    SEARCH   IT   IN   YOURSELF
YOU    WILL   FEEL   HAPPYEVEN    IF   YOU   ARE   LEFT    ALONE………………….

ALWAYS    HAVE A    POSITIVE   ATTITUDE   IN    LIFE.
THERE    IS   SOMETHING   POSITIVE IN    EVERY   PERSON.
EVEN    A STOPPED   WATCH   IS    RIGHT TWICE    A   DAY……………………………..

HAPPINESS    ALWAYS   LOOKS   SMALLWHEN   WE   HOLD   IT   IN   OUR    HANDS.
BUT    WHEN    WE   LEARN   TO SHARE    IT,
WE    REALIZE   HOW BIG    AND   PRECIOUS   IT   IS…

“If money be not thy servant, it will be thy master.”
— Francis Bacon

In what ways does money rule your life?

Money has entered so deeply into our lives that it can become our primary reference point. We make so many of our decisions based on how they affect the bottom line. Do you compromise things you really value for money? Has the power of money hurt your relationships, your health, your work or your self-respect?

“If a person gets his attitude toward money straight, it will help straighten out almost every other area in his life.”
— Billy Graham

If we don’t change, we don’t grow.
If we don’t grow, we aren’t really living.
– Gail Sheehy

“Meditation brings wisdom; lack of meditation leaves ignorance. Know well what leads you forward and what holds you back, and choose the path that leads to wisdom.”
— Buddha

Meditation is considered an essential practice for those who seek self-knowledge and self-mastery. Why? Basically, meditation brings awareness of how our minds work. Over time, we become watchers, able to detach from the thoughts and emotions that play out in our minds.

With this detachment, we gain the freedom to choose whether or not to act on our thoughts and emotions. We learn to distinguish between objective reality and our mental and emotional dramas.

“Only in quiet waters things mirror themselves undistorted. Only in a quiet mind is adequate perception of the world.”
— Hans Margolius

“How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.”
— Annie Dillard

We lose the power of the moment because we’re so rarely in it. We’re reliving the past or speculating about the future. We continue to believe that tomorrow’s the day when I’ll be more capable, more wealthy, more fit and more loving. Meanwhile, I’m just putting in time, dreaming of better things but not making any concrete move to realize them.

When you find yourself thinking of the future or the past, bring your awareness into the present moment. Really experience how you feel and what’s happening around you, without judgment. If we can treasure each moment, our lives will be rich, no matter what we have accomplished.

“Lost, yesterday, somewhere between sunrise and sunset, two golden hours, each set with sixty diamond minutes. No reward is offered for they are gone forever.”
— Horace Mann

“If, before going to bed every night, you will tear a page from the calendar, and remark, ‘there goes another day of my life, never to return,’ you will become time conscious.”
— A. B. Zu Tavern

He who rejects change is the architect of decay.
– Harold Wilson

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed it is the only thing that ever has.
– Margaret Mead

We must be the change we wish to see.
– Mohandas (Mahatma) Gandhi

To live is to choose. But to choose well, you must know who you are and what you stand for, where you want to go and why you want to get there.
– Kofi Annan

God grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
Courage to change the things I can;
And wisdom to know the difference.
– Reinhold Niebuhr

Change always comes bearing gifts.
– Price Pritchett

The nature of life is constant change, yet we fight against it. Why do we fight change? Humans are creatures of habit and instinctively fear the unknown.

Affirmation: I welcome change as a great adventure.
