Message For the Day…” Joy Of sharing Your Love and Affection…”

Every human being has a heart. Your heart is already filled with love. With how many are you selflessly sharing the love in your heart? Not many! What then is the use of love, if it is not shared? You must share all the love present in your heart with every being in creation. Love is the gift of God and you must share it freely in this world. This is the only way out of all the troubles and failure that people suffer. Many of you repeat the words mechanically, “May all the beings in all the worlds be happy”. To how many people are you giving happiness? Most of you are concerned with your selfish interests, have strong egos and display ostentation all the time. Whoever has imbibed precious truths from the Masters and scriptures must be filled with love. The day you root out selfishness from within, Divinity will flourish and blossom in your heart.

Message For the Day…” God Exists at a Level in accordance to One’s Own Level of understanding…”

Inside us, outside and all around there is air. But it cannot be seen, nor can it be grasped by the hand. For this reason can you deny the existence of air? How can one exist if there is no air? To deny the existence of air is to deny one’s own existence. God is all-pervading. He is omnipresent. He transcends time, space and circumstances. God exists at a level which is in accordance to one’s own level of understanding of the Divine. All the animate and inanimate objects in the world are Vishnuswarupa(manifestations of the Divine). It is foolish to look at the cosmos and deny the principle that pervades the cosmos. Equally is it not silly to look at the universe, which is the embodiment of the Divine, and deny the existence of the Divine? That is the reason why the scriptures declared:Pashyannapi na pashyathi mudho (The foolish one, even though he beholds, does not recognise)

Message For the Day…” Should We not have a concern about The Polluted Mind of Ours …” ?

Today many are concerned about the levels of pollution in water, air and environment. Enormous amounts of time, effort and resources are spent on purifying the elements. Shouldn’t you also be equally concerned, if not more, about the pollution in human minds? Many minds and hearts are much contaminated. The dire need today is to eradicate this pollution. Many are deeply immersed in worldly pleasures and desires. As a result, there is mental dissatisfaction and bitter frustration. Turn the minds, back to the source, from where they have originated. What should a fish out of water do to survive? Can the fish thrive by immersing itself in coffee or by placing itself on the most comfortable couch? The fish will survive happily only when it returns home – water! So too, human minds must be restored to their original home, which is the Divine Self within every being. Mental peace can be attained only by turning inward.

Message For the Day… ” Name of the God will Grant Everything You Need …”

Once the saints Namadeva and Gyanadeva were travelling in a forest. They felt thirsty and searched for water and came across an old dried up well. Gyanadeva, who followed the path of wisdom, transformed himself into a bird and flew down, drank the water and returned. Namadeva saw this and didn’t agree with the approach. He thought that one must elevate oneself from this human birth to Divine and not the other way. So he sat at that spot and chanted the name of the Lord. Every time he did it with intensity, the level of water began to rise higher and higher and finally the well started overflowing. He comfortably drank the water and was blissful. He demonstrated clearly wisdom is useful but is not greater than Divinity. He clearly taught the precious lesson that the Name of the Lord will grant everything that one needs in life and ultimately the Divine Himself.

Sathya Sai Baba

Message For the Day…” God is always With You , Behind You, and Around You …’

The birth as a human being is sacred and precious. By indulging in selfishness, people undermine their birth and the Divinity within themselves. Leading a moral life alone can sanctify this birth. God is the indweller in everyone and directs human life as one’s inner conscience. If you let selfishness grow within you, it takes the form of lust, hatred and greed. These three vices are very dangerous and demonic. When worldly desires increase, the vices grow to the extent of making you lose faith in God and even lead you to developing enmity towards God. Never go after worldly happiness which is fraught with danger, giving up the Divine who is ready to be near and dear to you. Your parents or relatives may be away from you. God is never distant from you. He is always with you, behind you and around you, and He will always protect you.

Dancing Traffic Signal in Lisbon !!!

Source: smart)

Nobody likes to wait at traffic lights. Stopping at lights can be dangerous for impatient pedestrians willing to risk their lives just to cross the street a few seconds earlier.

The folks at Smart created The Dancing Traffic Light, a concept providing a fun and safe way to keep people from venturing too early into the street. They started by placing a dance room on a square in Lisbon, Portugal and invited random pedestrians to go into the box and dance. Their movements were then displayed on a few traffic lights in real time. This resulted in 81% more people stopping and waiting at those red lights.

What an awesome idea! Let’s hope no one ever does the moonwalk and on accident makes people at the light think that is the animation to walk out into traffic.

Message For the day…” Think of God in Your Every Action…It will Reflect in the Work You Do…”

Sathya Sai Baba

Sakhubai, an ardent devotee of Lord Panduranga, went to saint Namadeva and submitted, “Master, I make so many cow dung cakes, but people are stealing them. I need to earn a livelihood by selling these, but very little is left for me to sell. What do I do?” Namadeva smilingly asked her, “How do you know that those stolen are your cow dung cakes?” Sakhubai promptly answered, “Master, I make them thinking and reciting Lord Panduranga’s name all the time; my feelings are reflected in them and they give amazing results!” She then asked Namadeva to break and listen to one cake. Everyone around Namadeva were greatly astonished to hear the inanimate cowdung cake reverberating with Panduranga’s name with the correct pitch, tune and rhythm. Mother Sakhubai said, “Not only in these cakes, but if we think of the Lord while performing every action, it will reflect and resound in the work we do!”

” எண்ணமே மனச்சுமை…”

ரமணரைத் தரிசிக்கப் பலரும் காத்திருந்தனர். அவர்களுள் வெளிநாட்டவரும் சிலர். ரமணர் மெல்ல நடந்து வந்தார். எல்லோரும் எழுந்து நின்று இரு கரம் கூப்பி வணங்கினர்.

பசுமாடு ஒன்று அவரை நெருங்கி நின்றது. அதைத் தன் கரங்களால் வருடிக்கொடுத்தார். அது தன் கண்களை மூடி ஒரு யோகியைப் போல அசைவற்று நின்றது.

அவர் தாய்மையோடு பக்தர்களைப் பார்த்தவாறு மெல்ல வந்து ஒரு திட்டின் மீது அமர்ந்தார். பக்தர்கள் தரையில் அமர்ந்தனர்.

ஒவ்வொருவரும் தன்மீது ரமணரின் அருட்பார்வை நின்று போகாதா என்ற ஏக்கத்தோடு இருந்தனர்.

சற்றுத் தொலைவில் ஒரு வெளிநாட்டுக்காரர் தரையில் அமர முடியாமல் மிகவும் சிரமப்பட்டார். பின்னர் ஒரு திட்டின் மீது அமர்ந்துவிட்டார். சுற்றியிருந்த சிலர் அவரைப் பார்வையாலேயே பழித்தனர்.

அதை உணர்ந்த ஒரு ஆசிரமத் தொண்டர், சாமிகளுக்குச் சமமாக உட்காரக் கூடாது எனக் கண்டித்து வெளியில் அனுப்பிவிட்டார். இது பலருக்கும் சரி என்றே பட்டது. இதைத் தொலைவில் இருந்த ரமணர் கவனித்துவிட்டார்.

அந்தப் பணியாளரை அருகில் வரும்படி கையசைத்தார். அங்கு என்ன நடந்தது எனக் கேட்டறிந்தார்.

தரையில் அமர்ந்தால் மரியாதை, மேலே உட்கார்ந்தால் மரியாதை கிடையாது என்று யார் கற்றுக் கொடுத்தது என்று பணியாளிடம் கேட்டார். மரத்தின் மேல் உட்கார்ந்திருந்த குரங்கைக் காட்டி, அதை நம்மால் என்ன செய்ய முடியும் என்று கேட்டு அந்த வெளிநாட்டு மனிதரை அழைத்துவரச் சொன்னார்.

வெளியேற்றப்பட்ட அயல்நாட்டுப் பயணி மிகுந்த ஆவலோடு ரமணரை நெருங்கி வந்தார். ரமணர் தன் கண்களாலேயே அந்த மனிதரின் ஆன்மாவை வருடிக் கொடுத்தார்.

இவைதான் மரியாதை என்று பட்டியலிட்டு அதை எல்லாரிடமும் எதிர்பார்க்கிற எண்ணமே மனச்சுமை என்ற பாடத்தை ரமணர் இதன் மூலம் எளிமையாகப் புரியவைத்தார்.

Message For the Day…” Lesson to Learn from Ramayana…”

Ravana was a great scholar. He mastered 64 distinct fields of knowledge, including the language of animals, birds and insects. He possessed all knowledge, wealth and prosperity that equaled heaven. He used his penance as a means to acquire mastery over the physical world, reposing his faith on the phenomenal world and not on the Creator. He chose not to enquire about the Creator of the phenomenal world. The Universe is the Creator’s property. Rama was the Creator Himself and Sita was Rama’s Power (Shakti). Ravana, giving in to lust, desire and greed, developed hatred and enmity towards Rama and abducted Mother Sita. What was the result? Not only he, but his entire kingdom was destroyed. Despite such high knowledge and prowess, he failed to recognize the Divine within and ruined himself due to a moral lapse. Thus Ramayana clearly teaches the lesson that spiritual wisdom alone saves, and is essential.
