இவைகளும் குருவாகலாம்! 

………………………………………………….

பசிய இலைகள் பழுத்துப் போவதும்
முதிர்ந்த இலைகள் உதிர்ந்து போவதும்
புதிய தளிர்கள் முளைத்து வருவதும்
இயற்கையின் நியதி என்பதைக் காட்டுவதால்
மரம் கூட குருவாகலாம்!

அழுக்கு துணிகளைச் சுமந்து
ஆற்றுக்கு போவதில் வருத்தமுமில்லை
வெளுத்த துணிகளைச் சுமந்து
வீட்டுக்கு வருவதால் மகிழ்ச்சியுமில்லை
கடமையைச் செய்வதில் மட்டும்
கவனம் காட்டுவதால்
கழுதை கூட குருவாகலாம்!

வேண்டுதல் வேண்டாமை இல்லாமல்
வெறுப்பு, விருப்பு காட்டாமல்
ஆளுக்கு ஏற்றார்போல் ஆட்டம் போடாமல்
தன்முன் நிற்பவரின் தன்மையை
அப்படியே காட்டும் நேர்மையால்
கண்ணாடி கூட குருவாகலாம்!

எரியும் ஒளி விளக்கை
எப்படி சாய்த்தாலும்
கவிழ்த்தாலும்
ஒளிச்சுடர் மட்டும்
உயரப் பார்த்தே எரியும்
உன்னத லட்சியத்தை சொல்வதால்
விளக்கு கூட குருவாகலாம்!
தன்னைக் கரைத்து
சுற்றி இருப்பவர்களுக்கு
உன்னத ஒளி தந்து
ஒப்பற்ற தியாகம் செய்வதால்
மெழுகுவர்த்தி கூட குருவாகலாம்!

காற்றின் அலைக்கழிப்பில்
கலைந்து போனாலும்
மீண்டும் மீண்டும் முயற்சி செய்து
வலை பின்னும் கலையினால்
சிலந்தி கூட குருவாகலாம்!

உற்றுக் கவனிக்கிற
உயர்ந்த குணம் இருந்தால்
கற்றுக் கொள்ள நிறைய உண்டு
பெற்றுக் கொள்ள உங்களுக்கு
பிரியமுண்டா சொல்லுங்கள்!

Message for the Day…” Our Culture teaches that one must never lose Hope …”

NatarajanLeave a comment

Bharatiyas lead lives of hope. The Bharatiya culture teaches that one must never lose hope. To suffer from lack of faith and to lose hope is not only losing all the strength within, but it also amounts to demeaning the human birth. Utsaham (Enthusiasm) and Shraddha(earnestness and interest) are things which will show the way for the progress of man. Every individual having such Utsaham andShraddha is sure to achieve success and attain glory in any kind of work undertaken. It is also said that one who possesses thisShraddha will attain wisdom too (Shraddhavan Labhate Jnanam). So we should make an attempt to go through the journey of our life with interest and enthusiasm.

Message for the Day…” A Body devoid of Divine strength is equivalent to dust…’

NatarajanLeave a comment

The country is not made up of dust. It is a conglomeration of human beings. It is the human beings that give it the name of a country. If there are no human beings, it is not called a country. A country is very much like a human body. The divine strength of the country is the human nature in the body. If there is no divine strength in the human body, what is the use of this body? A body devoid of divine strength is equivalent to dust. The human form and human qualities are like the negative and the positive. If the unity and the oneness of these two aspects are not properly brought about, then both of them are useless. To make an attempt to transform the human nature in yourself and elevate it to divine nature should be the purpose of all the education that you wish to have.

Message for the Day…” Enshrine Divinity in your Heart and make it Sacred…”

NatarajanLeave a comment

Today we see human forms, but the human nature and human qualities are dormant in this form. Most people are behaving very much like an animal. The qualities which are precious and which characterise the human being are morality, adherence to truth, dharma, and the like. If these are not evident, then the human nature does not shine at all. We should promote human qualities. We should not cultivate simply the human form and appearance. You not enshrining sacred Divinity in your heart and thereby becoming distant from it, and also you letting your body go where it likes, are not human qualities at all. Enshrine Divinity in your heart and make it sacred. Then you can use the human form to its fullest potential.

Image of the Day…Lotus Flower !

NatarajanLeave a comment

 

“The lotus flower blooms most beautifully from the deepest mud” –Buddhist Proverb
The lotus flower is one of the most remarkable creations of nature. Its beauty lies in its purity, because this magnificent flower emerges from the dirty and muddy bottom of a pond, yet still remains untouched and unstained by its soiled surroundings.

This notable feat has ensured that the lotus is considered an embodiment of perfection in various Asian religions and cultures, with particular reference to Buddhism and Hinduism. This unique quality is said to symbolize the human who rises from the darkness of the world into a new way of thinking and living.

Message for the Day…” When Divinity dons the garb of a human body …”

NatarajanLeave a comment

When Divinity dons the garb of a human body, people are thickly blanketed by illusion and become blind to the Divine Principle. Even Yashoda was no exception to this. Once Balarama complained to Mother Yashoda that Krishna was eating mud. When questioned by Yashoda, little Krishna made a startling statement, “Oh mother dear! Am I an infant to eat mud?” Poor Yashoda failed to fathom the depth of this wonderful divine revelation. She demanded that Krishna open His mouth, so that she could verify herself. Little Krishna opened His mouth wide. To her utter shock and amazement, Yashoda saw heavenly spheres revolving in Krishna’s mouth. That instant she realised that Krishna was verily God Himself. However as soon as Krishna closed His mouth and stood before her with an innocent look, she forgot about His Divinity, hugged Him, and treated Him like an ordinary child

Message for the Day….”When our ignorance gets extinguished ….” ?

NatarajanLeave a comment

The Ramayana unfolds the story of Rama. It is also the story of Divinity. Further, the Ramayana is the epic that unfolds the story of Sita, which is that of the individual self. The third aspect of the Ramayana is the annihilation of Ravana. The destruction of Ravana signifies the destruction of ignorance. Ignorance is extinguished when we realise perfectly the relationship between the individual self and the Absolute Self. There are three syllables ‘ra, aa, and ma’ in the word Rama. ‘Ra’ signifies the principle of fire; ‘aa’ signifies the principle of the Sun; ‘ma’ signifies the principle of the Moon. The Sun principle dispels the darkness of ignorance. The Moon principle cools the inner heart. And the fire principle destroys illusion.

Message for the Day…” Try to understand the sole purpose of Education…”

NatarajanLeave a comment

 

Earning money cannot be the sole purpose of education. Acquiring good qualities can be the only purpose of education. From our birth till the body perishes, we are making many attempts to earn money and acquire food. In this process of amassing wealth, we are adopting several methods which are adopted by the birds and animals. To acquire food, different kinds of strength, abilities, and skills are used by us; just as the very same skills are used by animals and birds! It is not right that we use all our knowledge and skill for doing just what the animals and birds also do. In the process of spending all our energies in acquiring food, we are going far away from the aspect of the Divine principle (Atma) which is the very purpose of this special birth.SI_20160510

Message for the Day…” Humans are part of Divinity and can not live without HIM …”

NatarajanLeave a comment

Mother Sumitra’s twin children, Lakshmana and Shatrughna, arrived in the world crying. Sumithra tried various strategies but failed to soothe their inconsolable grief. Sage Vasishta then suggested keeping Lakshmana in the cradle with Rama, and Shatrughna in the cradle with Bharatha. Sumithra did accordingly and found that both stopped crying immediately, started drinking milk and playing in the cradle. The Sage explained thus, “Oh noble mother, a branch is a part of the tree. Humans are part of Divinity and cannot live without Him. Lakshmana did not rest until he was united with Rama and Shatrughna could not bear separation from Bharatha. The Individual cannot live apart from the Absolute Self, which is its source. A fish cannot exist away from water, even if it is placed in a golden bowl studded with precious stones. Similarly, the individual self is restless until it reaches the Absolute Self, which is its source.”
