You Can Not Multiply The Wealth by Dividing It !!!
When the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great,
but when government takes all the reward away,
no one will try or want to succeed !!!
An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had recently failed an entire class. That class had insisted that socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.
The professor then said, “OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Socialist’s plan”. All grades will be averaged and everyone will receive the same grade so no one will fail and no one will receive an A…. (substituting grades for dollars – something closer to home and more readily understood by all).
After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy. As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little.
The second test average was a D! No one was happy.
When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F.
As the tests proceeded, the scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else.
To their great surprise, ALL FAILED and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great, but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed.
These are possibly the 5 best sentences you’ll ever read and all applicable to this experiment:
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it!
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation.

Message For The Day…Give God That Heart , as Pure as HE Gave it to You !!!
Many clamour for the experience of spiritual bliss, but, few earn it, because they find themselves too weak to reject the clamour of the senses! Practice assiduously the larger programme of controlling the senses. A little enquiry will reveal that the senses are bad masters and very inefficient sources of knowledge; the joy they bring is transitory and fraught with grief. So long as one is dominated by sense pleasure, it cannot be said that his spiritual life has begun. For, the senses rush towards the temporary and the tawdry; thus, they foul the heart. God asks from each of you no other gift, no more valuable offering than the heart He has endowed you with. Give God that heart, as pure as when He gave it to you, full of the nectar of love He filled it with. Your devotion to God is best expressed by achieving the control of the senses.
தயிர் பாலாக மாறுமா?!!!….கேட்டார் மகாபெரியவர் !!!!!
வெள்ளைக்காரன் புத்திசாலி!
கல்வித்துறையில் ரொம்ப பெரிய போஸ்டில் இருந்தவர் ஒருவர் மடத்துக்கு அடிக்கடி வருவார்.
ஒருதடவை அப்படி வரும் போது தன்னுடன் இரண்டு வெள்ளைக்காரர்களை அழைத்து வந்தார். வந்தவர், வெறுமனே அவர்களுடன் வரவில்லை, கூடவே “தன்னை நாடி இங்க்லாண்டிலிருந்து மாணவர்கள் வந்திருக்கிறார்கள்!” என்ற பெருமிதம் தலைக்கேற வந்தார்.
பெரியவாளுக்கு நமஸ்காரம் செய்து விட்டு “இவா ரெண்டு பேரும் லண்டன்ல ரிஸர்ச் பண்ணிண்டிருக்கா…. almost எல்லா சப்ஜெக்ட்லேயும் புகுந்து வெளையாடியிருக்கா….பொதுவா இங்க்லீஷ்காராளே ரொம்ப புத்திசாலிகள்! அதுலேயும் இவா ரெண்டு பேரும் ரொம்ப intelligent! பிஹெச்.டி பண்ணியிருக்கா… இங்க்லீஷ்லதான் வர்ஷாவர்ஷம் புதுசுபுதுசா வார்த்தைகள் சேர்ந்துண்டே போறதே! புது scientific வோர்ட்ஸ் நெறைய கண்டு பிடிச்சிருக்கா. அதான், அந்த பாஷை தேங்கிப் போய் பாஸி பிடிக்காம pureஆ இருந்துண்டு இருக்கு…”
இங்க்லிஷுக்கு ஒரு ஸ்தோத்ரமே பண்ணிவிட்டார் !
யார் முன்னால் பேசினாலும் டம்பம் இல்லாமல் அடக்கமாகப் பேசவேண்டும். அதுவும் ஞானக்கடலான பெரியவா மாதிரி மஹான்கள் முன்னால், தெரிந்தாலும் பேசாமல் அடக்கமாக இருப்பதுதான் சிறப்பு.
தலைகால் தெரியாமல் அதிகம் பேசுவது நம்முடைய மடமை. ஏனென்றால் யார் முன் பேசுகிறோம்! ஒரு வழியாக அவர் மூச்சு விட சற்று நிறுத்தியதும், ஞான சாகரத்திலிருந்து ஒரு துளி வெளியே வந்து விழுந்து அங்கிருந்தோரைத் திணற அடித்தது.
“ஆமாமா….இங்க்லிஷ்காரன் ரொம்…ப புத்திசாலிதான்! நாம என்ன பண்றோம்? பாலைத் தயிரா ஆக்கறோம். அது ஸ்வபாவமா நடக்கறது. ஆனா, தயிரைப் பாலா மாத்தறதில்லே; ஏன்னா…..அது முடியாத விஷயம்.
அதுனாலதான் அக்ஞானிகளான நாம, அந்த மாதிரில்லாம் முயற்சி பண்றதில்லை. ஆனா, இங்க்லிஷ்காரன் புத்திசாலியோன்னோ…. “இதோ, தயிரைப் பாலாக்கி காட்டறேன்”..னான்! Butter Milk ன்னு ஒரு வார்த்தையை கண்டுபிடிச்சுட்டான்! பாத்தியா! எவ்ளோ..வ் சுலபமா butterஐ மில்க் ஆக்கிட்டான்!
நாம என்னவோ அதை “மோர்”ன்னு சொல்றோம்; milk ன்னு சொல்றதில்லே”…. புன்சிரிப்புடன் பெரியவா சொன்னதும் கல்வித்துறையின் முகத்தில் ஈயாடவில்லை. சுற்றி இருந்தவர்கள் இந்த விளக்கத்தை கேட்டு, அதிலிருந்த “இதுநாள் வரை காணத் தவறிய” உண்மையை உணர்ந்து புன்னகைத்தனர்.
அந்த வெள்ளைக்கார மாணவர்களோ, பெரியவா சொன்னதை மொழி பெயர்த்து கேட்ட பின்,
“Oh ! My God ! It is not a butter research; but a better research!!!!!என்று ஆச்சர்யப்பட்டு மிகவும் ரசித்தார்கள்….

Message For The Day….Live a Simple Life and Reap The Fruit of Eternal Bliss!!!
God Has His Own Plans !!!!
Once there was a sweeper in a temple. Being very devoted and sincere, he thought that the lord standing all the time and giving help must be feeling very tired.
So one day very innocently he asked the lord whether he can take his place for a day so that the lord can have some relief and rest.
The deity of the temple replied, “I do not mind taking a break. I will transform you like myself, but you must do one thing.
You must just stand here like me, smile at everyone and just give benedictions. Do not interfere with anything and do not say anything.
Remember you are the deity and you just have faith that I have a master plan for everything.”
The sweeper agreed to this.
The next day the sweeper took the position. First a rich man came and prayed to the lord. offered a small donation and prayed that his business should be prosperous.
While going, the rich man inadvertently left his wallet full of money right there.
Now the sweeper in the form of deity could not call him and so he decided to control himself and keep quiet.
Just then a poor man came and he put one coin in the bowl and said that it was all he could afford and he prayed to the lord that he should continue to be engaged in the lord’s service.
He also said that his family was in dire need of some basic needs but he left it to the good hands of the lord to give some solution.
When he opened his eyes, he saw the wallet left by the rich man.
The poor man thanked the lord for his kindness and took the wallet very innocently.
The sweeper in the form of the deity could not say anything and he had to just keep smiling.
At that point a sailor walked in. He prayed for his safe journey as he was going on a long trip.
Just then the rich man came with the police and said that somebody has stolen his wallet and seeing the sailor there, he asked the police to arrest him thinking that he might have taken it.
Now the sweeper in the form of deity wanted to say that the sailor is not the thief but he could not say so and he became greatly frustrated.
The sailor looked at the lord and asked why he, an innocent person, is being punished.
The rich man looked at the lord and thanked Him for finding the thief.
The sweeper in the deity form could no more tolerate it, and he thought that even if the real lord had been here, he would have definitely interfered, and hence he started speaking and said that the sailor is not the thief but it was the poor man who took away the wallet. The rich man was very thankful as was the sailor.
In the night, the real lord came and He asked the sweeper how the day was.
The sweeper said, “I thought it would be easy, but now I know that Your days are not easy, but I did one good thing.”
Then he explained the whole episode to the lord.
The lord became very upset on hearing this whereas the sweeper thought the lord would appreciate him for the good deed done.
The lord asked, “Why did you not just stick to the plan? You had no faith in Me. Do you think that I do not understand the hearts of all those who come here?
All the donations which the rich man gave was all stolen money and it is only a fraction of what he really has and he wants me to reciprocate unlimitedly.
The single coin offered by the poor man was the last coin he had and he gave it to me out of faith.
The sailor was to die because of bad weather but if he would’ve been arrested and in the jail, he would have been saved from a greater calamity.
I intended the wallet should go to the poor man because he will use it in my service.
I was going to reduce the rich man’s karma also by doing this and save the sailor also.
But you cancelled everything because you made your own plans.”
Moral — God has plans and justice for everyone….we just have to have patience!

Abraham Lincoln”s Letter To His Son”s Teacher !!!
He will have to learn, I know, that all men are not just, all men are not true.
But teach him also that for every scoundrel there is a hero;
that for every selfish Politician, there is a dedicated leader…
Teach him for every enemy there is a friend,
Steer him away from envy,
if you can, teach him the secret of quiet laughter.
Let him learn early that the bullies are the easiest to lick…
Teach him, if you can, the wonder of books…
But also give him quiet time to ponder the eternal mystery of birds in the sky,
bees in the sun, and the flowers on a green hillside.
In the school teach him it is far honourable to fail than to cheat…
Teach him to have faith in his own ideas, even if everyone tells him they are wrong…
Teach him to be gentle with gentle people, and tough with the tough.
Try to give my son the strength not to follow the crowd when everyone is getting on the band wagon…
Teach him to listen to all men…
but teach him also to filter all he hears on a screen of truth,
and take only the good that comes through.
Teach him if you can, how to laugh when he is sad…
Teach him there is no shame in tears,
Teach him to scoff at cynics and to beware of too much sweetness…
Teach him to sell his brawn and brain to the highest bidders
but never to put a price-tag on his heart and soul.
Teach him to close his ears to a howling mob and to stand and fight if he thinks he’s right.
Treat him gently, but do not cuddle him, because only the test of fire makes fine steel.
Let him have the courage to be impatient…
let him have the patience to be brave.
Teach him always to have sublime faith in himself,
because then he will have sublime faith in mankind.
This is a big order,
but see what you can do…
He is such a fine little fellow,
my son!

Message For The Day…Let Your Body Not To Go After Mind…
When the One manifests as Nature composed of the five Elements, do not imagine that its value is affected thereby. When a rupee is changed into ten paise coins, its value is not decreased at all. So too, see the Nature as the Supreme One with many manifestations, not as multiplicity of sense-impressions and attractions. Wherever your eye turns, whatever your ears hear, your fingers touch, your tongue tastes, your nose smells… take all to be God-filled. Do not allow mere sound, taste, etc. to captivate your senses. Practice to see the Divine, welcome and accept only such thoughts and feelings and discard the others. Sage Tukaram was once asked how can people keep this monkey-mind controlled from running after sensuous pleasures, the Sage advised, “Let the monkey mind run, you keep the body with you, do not let it go after the mind”. He encouraged, “Tell the mind, I shall not give you the body as your servant. Then the mind will desist and it can be defeated.”
Message For The Day…Conquer Your Tongue….Victory is Yours !!!!
All the five elements have been created by the Will of the Supreme. They have to be used with reverential care and vigilant discrimination. Reckless use of any of them will only rebound on you with tremendous harm. External nature has to be handled with caution and awe. So too, handle your inner ‘nature,’ your internal instruments! While the eye, the ear and the nose serve as instruments of knowledge about one particular characteristic (form, sound or smell) of Nature, the tongue makes itself available for two purposes: to judge taste and to communicate. So you must control the tongue with double care, since it can harm you physically and mentally. Without the control of the senses, spiritual practices (sadhana) are ineffective. If the senses are given full sway, it is like storing water in leaky pot. Pathanjali (the celebrated author of the Yogasuthras) said that if tongue is conquered, victory is yours.
Just One Big Family !!!…Unity in Diversity !!!!!!
When these five baby animals were all abandoned by their mothers their chances of survival were slim. But now the three lions, tiger, and spotted hyena are having a happier time at the Akwaaba Lodge in Rustenburg, South Africa, where they live under one roof. The animals share the same living enclosures and even share meal times together.
