Spiritual knowledge cleanses the mind and helps us undertake good actions. But that is not enough. The heart also should be pure. In the absence of purity of heart, there can never be purity of the mind and intellect. We should not give scope to the creepers of bad qualities to entangle the heart. A creeper that goes around covering the tree ultimately smothers the tree itself. One should ensure that the creepers of lust, anger, greed, and infatuation do not get entangled to one’s own Self. The society will ultimately value purity of heart more than all other achievements. One can escape from the house on fire, but not from the senses which are ignited by the fire of evil qualities. It is the foremost duty of every individual to keep their senses under control.

Message For the Day…Do not Underestimate Yourself…
Do not demean your talents; when you dive deep into yourself, you can discover the source of all strength. Small ants in millions creeping over a rock, can carve a deep groove along their path. Even the minute feet of the ants have that power. You might have seen on the walls around village wells, how hollow pits are produced on granite slabs by placing on them mud water pots continuously. Even though the pots are made of mud, over the years they erase even the hardest granite and make them hollow. The Atma Swarupam (Embodiment of Divine Self) is not Alpa Swarupam(insignificant). It is a powerful dynamo, capable of generating enormous power. The Spiritual teacher (Guru) shows you the goal(Guri), but you must generate the power yourself, by your own spiritual effort (Sadhana).

படித்ததில் பிடித்தது …கல் ஒன்றுதான் , ஆனால் ….!!!
ஓரு ஊரில் ஒரு சிற்பி இருந்தான். கோயில் கர்ப்பக்கிரகத்தில் வைப்பதற்கான சிலையை அவன் செதுக்க வேண்டியிருந்தது. கடைசியில் தன் தேவைக்கு ஒத்துவருகிற ஒரு கல்லைத் தேர்ந்தெடுத்தான். அந்தக் கல்லைச் சமமாக இரண்டாக்கினான். ஒன்றைச் செதுக்கி அம்மன் சிலையாக்கினான். மற்றொன்று அந்த அம்மன் சிலைக்கு எதிரே படிக்கல்லாகப் போடப்பட்டது. அந்தக் கோயிலுக்குக் கும்பாபிஷேகமும் நடைபெற்றது.
கோயிலுக்கு பக்தகோடிகளின் கூட்டம் அலைமோதியது. வரும் பக்தர்கள் அனைவரும் அம்மன் சிலைக்கு முன்னேயிருக்கும் படியில் கால் வைத்து அம்மனைப் பரவசத்துடன் வழிபட்டுச் சென்றனர். பக்தர்களின் காலடி பட்டுப்பட்டு உடம்பு ரணமான அந்தப் படிக்கல், ஒரு நாள் தாங்க முடியாமல் அம்மன் சிலையிடம் கேட்டது, “நீயும் நானும் ஒரே கல்லிலிருந்துதானே பிறந்தோம். நானோ மிதிபட்டுக்கொண்டிருக்கிறேன்: நீயோ கடவுளாகிவிட்டாய். இது எப்படி?”
அதற்கு அம்மன் சிலை பதில் சொன்னது, “இருவரும் ஒரே கல்லில் இருந்துதான் பிறந்தோம். ஆனால், சிற்பியின் உளியால் நான் செதுக்கப்பட்டு பக்குவப்பட்டபோது அடைந்த ரணம் சாதாரணமானதல்ல. படாத பாடுபட்டேன். அதனால் இந்த நிலையை அடைந்தேன். நான் செதுக்கப்பட்டபோது என்னைப் பார்த்து நகைத்துக்கொண்டு மணல் மீது நீ படுத்துக்கொண்டிருந்தாய். இன்றைக்கு வெறும் கல்லாய்க் கிடக்கிறாய். வாழ்வில் கஷ்டப்படுகிறவன்தான் மேலே வருவான்” என்றது.

Message For The Day…Honour Your Parents and Obey Them …
|
Have the progress of your country, your duty (Dharma) and your innate Divinity (Atma) before your mind’s eye at all times. Let your hunger for serving these three, grow more and more. Then your education will serve its purpose and give you a sense of mission and fulfillment. You will naturally acquire respect for elders, faith in your own Self, fear of sin, and fear of going against the voice of God present within you. Never cross this line – Do not do anything which brings tears in the eyes of your parents. Honour them and obey them. Do not condemn them as old-fashioned. Remember the adage, “Old is Gold”. Your parents can guide you; they can share with you their experience of the world and its tricks, and you will benefit from them. |
“OM ” Is Not Just A Mantra…But Also A Medicine…
Aum is medicine, not just mantra.
Pramila Krishnan | Deccan Chronicle | Chennai:: Abdul Khader chants ‘Aum’ 30 times during his walk at Gill Nagar park every morning and swears it has significantly helped in healing his acute arthritic pain.
“I used to pray seated in a chair because of acute knee pain from arthritis acquired from long hours of doing business standing. Thanks to the yoga asanas, breathing exercises and the chanting of ‘Aum’, I am now able to kneel on the mat for my namaz five times a day,” said the 50-year-old grocer of MMDA colony in the city, talking excitedly about the wholesome healing experienced at the government yoga and naturopathy college hospital near Anna arch.
“When the doctors explained that chanting ‘Aum’ is not religious but provides therapeutic gain, I readily agreed to follow that. I am happy I did it,” Khader told Deccan Chronicle.
Dr Kanimozhi, assistant professor of yoga, says she had prescribed ‘Aum’ chanting for even cancer patients, along with other naturopathy medicines. “The chant controls the secretion of stress hormones and acts as a pain reliever. It is scientific as the chant creates a neuro and psycholinguist effect while a positive aura forms around your body when you do it.”
There are several patients at the hospital — including Muslims and Christians — who have benefited from chanting ‘Aum’, prescribed along with yoga asanas and nature healers, and gained relief from ailments such as pain, insomnia, stress, stuttering and other speech difficulties.
The case of 55-year-old Edwin, a senior army officer tormented by ankylosing spondylitis for over a year, is another example. He has healed from chanting ‘Aum’ and practising asanas and breathing exercises.
“Edwin’s case sheet reveals that after two months of practice, he could flex his joints and his sleep cycle got normal,” said Dr P. Prabhu, expressing happiness that more and more patients are turning to ‘Aum’ and other natural healers.

“When HE Stands Up For You…No one Can Stand against You ” !!!
Heaven and Hell
One day A violent samurai warrior with a reputation for provoking fights for no reason arrived at the gates of a Zen monastery and asked to speak to the master.
Without hesitating, the Master went to meet him.
‘They say that intelligence is more powerful than brute force,’ said the samurai. ‘Can you explain to me what heaven and hell are?’
Master said nothing.
‘You see?’ bellowed the samurai. ‘I could explain quite easily: to show someone what hell is, you just have to punch them. To show them what heaven is, you just have threaten them with terrible violence and then let them go.’
‘I don’t talk to stupid people like you,’ said the Zen master.
The blood rushed to the samurai’s head. His brain became thick with hatred.
‘That is hell,’ said the Master, smiling. ‘Allowing yourself to be upset by silly remarks.’
Taken aback by the monk’s courage, the samurai warrior softened.
‘And that is heaven,’ said the Master, inviting him in. ‘Not reacting to foolish

Message For the Day…Make ” Namasmarana ” a Daily Habit….
Singing the glory of the Lord is highly sacred. When you sing the Names of the Lord (Namasmarana), the snakes of bad qualities will come out. Namasmarana is like the piped musical instrument (Nadhaswaram), that attracts the snakes of evil qualities and draws them out and away from you. You must repeat the Lord’s Name in order to get rid of your negativities. Sing unto Him from the depth of your hearts, without any inhibition, with total dedication. Only then you can experience divine bliss. Today the Universe is facing a lot of problems due to lack of this habit. Young or old, rich or poor, educated or otherwise, everyone must do Namasmarana. Make this habit the very breath of your life. Let each and every cell of your body be filled with the Divine Name. Nothing else can give you the bliss, courage and strength you derive from singing the Lord’s Glory.
Message For The Day…Do Not Postpone Learning Lessons of Silence and Prayer…
Once a miser lived in a leaky house. Rain water poured through the roof, into his house and he sat through it all night. Neighbours, seeing his plight, suggested he get the roof repaired. The miser remarked, “Let the rains subside, how can I repair it now?” And when the rains stopped, he replied, “Why should I worry about the leaks, now that the rains have stopped?” Do not take this approach. Instead of choosing to suffer when the rains come, as they are sure to do, wouldn’t it be wise to repair the roof right now? This example conveys the importance you must give to acquainting yourself with spiritual primers and textbooks without postponing this by even a moment. Begin right now, the first lessons of silence, prayer and repeating the Name of the Lord. It is never too soon to start the spiritual journey.
