Message For The Day…4 Keys For Living in Joy….
Make four resolutions about your life hereafter and live in joy. 1. Practise Purity – Desist from wicked thoughts, bad habits and mean activities that weaken your self-respect. 2. Do Service – Serve others, for they are the reflections of the same entity of which you yourself are another reflection. No one of you has any authenticity on your own, except with reference to your Creator, the Lord. 3. See Mutuality – Feel always the kinship with all creation. See the same current flowing through all objects in the Universe. 4. Live in Truth – Do not deceive yourself or others by distorting your experience….
The one who discriminates well before engaging in any activity, will naturally be righteous in conduct and behavior. – Baba

Some Thoughts For Sunday !!!!
Never feel bad if people remember you only at the time of their need. Feel previleged that they think of you like candle in the darkness of their life.
10% conflicts is due to difference in opinion and 90% is due to the wrong tone of voice !!!
A man asked Buddha ” I want Happiness”.. Buddha said : ” first remove “I” .That is Ego. Then remove “want”. That is desire. See now what you are left with … It is “happiness” only .
Our eyes are placed in front because it is more important to look ahead, than to look back!!!
Life is an echo. What you send out , comes back to you. What you sow… you reap…what you give, you get back…What you see in others, it exists in you !!!
We used Pencil when we were kids… But now we use Pens … DO you know Why ?….Because , mistakes in childhood can be erased !…But not now !!! at this age !!!
When I shut my mouth and turn back and walk away, it does not mean you have won …It simply means that you are not worth anymoreof my time !!!
If you are depressed, you are living in the Past… If you are anxious , you are living in Future… If you are at ease, you are living in the Present !!!!

Message For The Day….Be Grateful to God Forever….
Have you not heard the story of the lion suffering from a wound in the foot? A slave who was fleeing through the forest saw it and when he approached it with sympathy, the lion put out its paw. He then slowly pulled out the thorn that had caused all that pain and left the place, only to be arrested later and taken to Rome. There, they decided to throw him into the amphitheatre and let loose upon him a lion that had been recently captured. It was, however, the same lion which the slave had saved and so, its gratitude did not allow it to harm its saviour. See, even animals exhibit gratitude, not only the pet animals, but even the wild ones like the lion. Express your gratitude to the Creator who has poured into you nectar that grants immortality! Be grateful to the Lord for endowing you with powers of discrimination, detachment and evaluation.

Message For The Day…Devotion is the Water to Wash Away Ego and Attachment…
The greatest obstacle in the path of surrender is egoism (ahamkaram) and Attachment or Possessiveness (mamakaram). This is ingrained in your personality since ages and its tentacles go deeper and deeper with the experience of every succeeding life. It can be removed only by the twin detergents of discrimination and renunciation. Devotion is the water to wash away this dirt of ages, and the soap of japam, dhyaanam and yoga (repetition of God’s name, meditation and communion) will help to remove it quicker and more effectively. Slow and steady progress will surely win the race in this one; quicker means of travel can spell disaster. Proceed step by step in your spiritual practices – placing one steady step before you take the next. Do not waver or slide back two paces with one step forward. Cultivate deep faith – that will make your progress steady!

Message For The Day….Hold Fast To Noble Ideals….
In the present, practice of devotion, worship and rituals are for the sake of better comforts and more luxury for the individuals themselves. Devotion has degenerated into a business deal. Often one prays, “Please give me this, I shall give You so much.” If they feel one shrine promises more, the current shrine is given up. If even in the new shrine, one does not get quick returns, then they quickly look elsewhere to some ‘other’ God who gives more profit! Many people wander in this manner. Some also think, “If I stand amongst many others, God will not notice me. I must stand in a unique position and shout to attract His attention!” Do not behave foolishly! Hold fast to noble ideals. Do not try to bring down the Almighty to your limited vision. Rise up, strengthen your detachment and establish yourself in discrimination, then your goal is brought nearer.
