Message for the Day…”You are part and parcel of Universe Manifestation “…

Often you are aware that there is something behind and beyond all the fleeting fantasy; something that persists through all the successes and defeats, the tears and smiles, the mirth and moan – but you are unable to grasp it and realize that it is the same Entity that underlies the entire Universe. You are indeed one with the most distant star and the least little blade of grass – you shine as dew on the petal of the rose, you are part and parcel of all this manifestation! The scriptures teach you this truth through many a parable, and even directly through the experience of saints and mystics. Through meditation and practice of spiritual discipline, you can be aware of yourselves as all this. Hanuman may have the form of a monkey, but do not get carried away by the outer casement (Upadhi). The Lord was His very breath; every hair-end of Hanuman echoed with Lord Rama’s Name

Message For The Day….”Who am I ? Where Have I come from ?…”

There are four questions that every person must interest oneself with : “Who am I?”, ”Where have I come from?”, “Where am I going?” and “How long will I remain here?”. These questions have been answered clearly in the Vedas. All spiritual inquiry begins with these questions and attempts to find answers to them. If you drop a letter in the post box without writing the ‘From’ or ‘To’ address, it will go nowhere but to the ‘dead letter office’. In fact it is a waste of time writing that letter, is it not? So too, if you do not know the purpose of your life in this world, you will get caught in the cycle of birth and death, and will never reach your destination. To find answers to these key questions, you must begin enquiry about the Self. To get the answers, you must practice spiritual discipline. Then, you will find that the answers become part of your daily living experiences!

Message For The Day…”wherever you are , You will See GOD if your heart is pure “…

A bullock cart cannot move on rails nor a locomotive on the road. Each type of vehicle has its own type of road. But all move forward and reach the goal in their own good time. Same is the case, whatever be your functional role (Varna) in the society. Each Varna has its own set of rules, regulations and restrictions. Be it the Varnas or Ashramas (the various stages of life with their fixed duties), they are merely convenient arrangement for the conduct of worldly affairs and paths to attain supra-worldly joy. Whether head or heels, it is the same blood that circulates through each; it is the same body which claims them as limbs. Each limb has to perform its task, the task for which it has specialised. You cannot walk on your head or think with the feet. Whichever section of society you may belong to, the Lord is revealed when the heart is pure. 

Sathya Sai Baba

“இனிமையான ‘ழ ‘ இருக்கும் இடம் ‘தமிழ் ‘ “…!!!

தமிழ் மொழியிலே கூட அவருக்கிருக்கும் [பெரியவா] அறிவு
முத்தமிழ்க் காவலர்களையெல்லாம் பிரமிக்க வைக்கிறது.
ஒரு முறை கி.வா.ஜ விடம், “தமிழ் என்றால் என்ன?” என்று
கேட்டார். மேலும்”சம்ஸ்கிருதம் என்றால், செம்மை செய்யப்பட்ட
மொழி என்று அர்த்தம்! அப்படி தமிழுக்கு ஏன் அந்தப் பெயர்
வந்தது சொல்லுங்கள்!” என்கிறார். கி.வா.ஜ. அடக்கமாக,
“பெரியவா சொன்னால் தெரிந்து கொள்கிறேன்!” என்றார்.

“எந்த மொழியிலும் இல்லாத சிறப்பான எழுத்து ‘ழ’ என்பது.
இந்த எழுத்து வரக் கூடிய எந்தச் சொல்லும், அழகு,இனிமை
அவற்றைக் குறிப்பதாகவே இருக்கும்.

மழலை,குழல்,அழகு,குழந்தை, சுழல்,பழம்,யாழ் இப்படி ‘ழ’
வருகிற எல்லாமே நமக்குப் பிடித்தவை. ஆகவே இனிமையான
“ழ’வைத் தம்மிடத்தில் உடையது ‘தமிழ்'[தமி+ழ்] என்று
சொல்லலாமா?” என்கிறார். உடனே கி.வா.ஜ., “இதைவிடப்
பொருத்தமாக சொல்ல முடியுமா? இனி எல்லா
மேடைகளிலும் நான் இதைச் சொல்லுவேன்!” என்றாராம்.

சீர்காழிப் பதிகத்தில் நற்றமிழ் வல்ல ஞானசம்பந்தர் பாடியிருக்கும்
“யாமா மாநீ யாமா மா” என்ற மாற்றுமாலைப் பதிகம் மிகவும்
கடினம்.அவற்றுள் இன்றைப் பெரியவா எடுத்து, மிகவும்
கடினமான அந்தப் பதிகத்தைப் பிரித்து மிக எளிமைப்படுத்திப்
பொருள் சொன்னார்.பெரிய வித்வான்களே பிரமித்துப் போனார்கள்.

“அதுபோல் காளமேகப் புலவர் பாடிய பாடிய பாடல்களில் ஒன்று,
முக்கால்,அரை,கால்,இருமா,மாகாணி,ஒருமா,கீழரை என்று
குறந்துகொண்டே வர்ம். அளவுகளை வைத்து எழுதுகிறார்
தெரியுமா?” என்று கேட்டு,

முக்காலுக்கு ஏகாமல் முன்னரையில் வீழாமுன்

அக்கா வரைக்கால் கண்டு அஞ்சா முன்

விக்கி இருமாமுன், மாகாணிக்கேகாமுன்

கச்சி ஒருமாவின் கீழரை இன்றோது…..

என்ற பாட்டைபெரியவா எடுத்துக் காட்டுகிறார். அதன் பொருளையும்
தனக்கே உரிய முறையில்,

“முக்கால்-னா மூன்று கால்கள். வயதான பின் இரண்டு காலில்
நடக்கத் தள்ளாடி ஒரு தடியை மூன்றவது காலாகப்
பயன்படுத்துகிறோமே..அந்த நிலை வருவதற்குள்,
‘முன்னரையில் வீழாமுன்’..நரை வருவதற்கு முன்னாலே,
‘விக்கலும் இருமலும்’ வருவதற்கு முன்..யமனுடைய
காலடி நம்மை அணுகவதற்கு முன்…ஊருக்கு வெளியிலுள்ள
‘மாகாணி’ என்ற சுடுகாட்டுக்குப் போகும் முன்..காஞ்சியில்
ஒரு மாமரத்தின் கீழ் உள்ள ஏகாம்பரேசுவரரை
இன்றைக்கே துதிப்பாய்!”

என்று மிக அழகாக விளக்குகிறார். மேலும்,
“என்ன அழகு பார்த்தேளா! ஏகாம்பரரை, அந்த ஒன்று என்ற
எண்ணுக்குக் கீழேயே கொண்டுவந்து கீழரை வரை எட்டு
அளவுகளையும் கோத்துத் துதித்திருக்கிறாரே!” என்று சொல்லிச்
சொல்லி மகிழ்ந்தார்.எதையுமே இப்படி விளக்கமாகப்
பொழிந்து தள்ளியதைக் கேட்டவர்கள் பாக்யசாலிகள்.

Message For the Day… Faith Develops into Love and Love Results in Concentration..

A person driving a car may concentrate on the road, anxious to save oneself and others from accident. Fear is what induces single-mindedness in this case. But Love is a greater force to aid concentration. Steady and resolute love makes one’s concentration become intense and unshakeable. Faith develops into love and love results in concentration. Prayer is possible and begins to yield fruit, under such conditions. Pray, using the Name as a symbol of the Lord; pray keeping all the waves of the mind stilled. Pray, as the performance of a duty for your very real existence, as the only justification for your coming into the world, as man.

Message For The Day….”One Must Have Ananda in The Heart “….

 Sathya Sai Baba

Just like a fish which can live only when it is immersed in water, when it feels the element all around it, so too man is a being that can live only when immersed in ananda (bliss); one must have ananda not merely at home, in society and in the world but more than all, in the heart. As a matter of fact, the ananda in the heart produces ananda all around; the heart is the spring of joy. That spring has to be touched by constant meditation, recitation and the intermittent dwelling on the glory, the grace and the inexhaustible manifestations of the Lord, that is, smaranachethana and manana. Hold fast to the goal; the devotee should never turn back. Never give way to doubt or despair.

 

“It Does not Matter if the Glass is Half empty or Half full “…..

Is Your Cup Half Full or Half Empty?
If you approach each day with a smile, see the goodness in people, and make lemonade out of lemons, then you are a “half-full person.” You don’t care if it’s going to rain because the clouds are so beautiful. If you’re stuck in traffic, you enjoy the music or your passenger’s company. But if you approach your day with a negative attitude and notice or experience more bad than good, then your approach is half empty. You are your own worst enemy: you sabotage your own fun and your own joy of life. So cut it out. Retrain yourself to notice only the good things in any situation until you rid yourself of this horrible habit. Don’t be a dream killer . . . for yourself or anyone else.
There is always someone else worse off than you. Look around you: your life is full of blessings. Make a list of things you are thankful for: your sight, health, family, food, shelter, a pet, your kids, friends, a good book. If you could even get out of bed this morning, then you are blessed. Do not take all this good fortune for granted. Be thankful for all these blessings.
Try not to use negative words too much like hate, disgusting, sick, ugly, etc.” Notice how things have improved in the world, in your town, in your life. Look for beauty. Try not to be sarcastic. Sarcasm is a “put-down “of something or someone. The way you act in the world is basically a habit. You can retrain your behavior and your thinking, and you will benefit by doing so. Being considerate, kind, and positive is contagious and worth the investment.
Did you get my point or do you want me to come again !!!
If you give love and kindness to others, you will probably find yourself overflowing with love and happiness. But if you give bitterness, cynicism, and negativity, that is what you will attract. In the mirror of life, you are reflected back, so let your goodness shine out.
Even though we are surrounded with love and positive things every day, the negative side of life seems to get a lot more publicity. Too many negative images sap us of our optimism. So don’t make a constant diet of negative people, newscasts, angry music, violent movies, and conflict. (Kids do not benefit from watching too many news shows and violence on TV.) Surround yourself with happy, positive people and situations whenever you can.
Laugh at yourself. Send funny cards to people. Watch funny movies. Enjoy yourself and have some fun (just not at anyone’s expense). Laughter can cure what ails you and make life fun. It’s very good medicine.
Everyone is attracted to happy people. They make us feel better. You can be one of those people. You’ll cheer up both yourself and those around you. Besides, frowning makes wrinkles.

Message For the Day…”Everything is HIS ..That is the Eternal Truth “…

Shed the feeling of ‘mine’ and ‘yours!’ – these attitudes are only for temporary identification. Everything is ‘His’ – that is the eternal truth. Be like the headmaster of a school who takes temporary charge of the furniture in the school. The headmaster treats the furniture with diligence and hands over the items when he is transferred or retired. Treat all people and objects, entrusted and endowed to you with due care and diligence as the headmaster treats the furniture. Be always aware that they do not belong to you! Be always aware that the final checking-up is imminent. Have your accounts ready for inspection and handover, and be ready; wait for that moment with joy!
