Message For the Day… ” One Common Divine Present in Everyone is the Basis for Brotherhood amongst all of Humanity…”

In the present Age of Kali, there is so much hatred between brothers. When there is no unity within the family, is it possible to bring about unity amidst all persons in this world? In many platform speeches, people address each other as brothers and sisters. We must ask ourselves whether such words are coming from the depths of our hearts or whether we are simply reading them from a piece of paper. If you truly mean the words ‘brothers and sisters’ from the depths of your heart, you most definitely will win the grace of the Lord and good consequences will follow. Never worry or fear that you may have to distribute your ancestral property, or share wealth with those whom you address as brothers and sisters. It is necessary and sufficient if you realise and accept that one common Divine is present in every one of you and is the basis for brotherhood amongst all of humanity.

Just For Laugh @ the Weekend….

Some Old Lady Questions…

Who said that old ladies don’t have poignant and deeply relevant questions to ask? Believe us, they’ve been around, and they know exactly which infuriating and hilarious questions to ask!

Why isn’t the number 11 pronounced onety-one?

If 4 out of 5 people SUFFER from diarrhea… does that mean that one out of five enjoys it?

Why do croutons come in airtight packages?
Aren’t they just stale bread to begin with?

If people from Poland are called Poles,
then why aren’t people from Holland called Holes?


If a pig loses its voice, is it disgruntled?


Why is a person who plays the piano called a pianist, but a person who drives a racecar is not called a racist?

If it’s true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the others here for?

If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked,
then doesn’t it follow that electricians can be delighted, musicians denoted, cowboys deranged, models deposed, tree surgeons debarked, and dry cleaners depressed?

If Fed Ex and UPS were to merge, would they call it Fed UP? ?

Do Lipton Tea employees take ‘coffee breaks?’

What hair color do they put on the driver’s licenses of  bald men?

I  thought about how mothers feed their babies with tiny little spoons and forks, so I wondered what do Chinese mothers use. Toothpicks?

Why do they put pictures of criminals up in the Post Office? What are we supposed to do, write to them?

Why don’t they just put their pictures on the postage stamps so the mailmen can look for them while they deliver the mail?

Is it true that you never really learn to swear until you learn to drive?

If a cow laughed, would milk come out of her nose?

Whatever happened to Preparations A through G?

As income tax time approaches, did you ever notice:
When you put the two words ‘The ‘ and ‘IRS’ together, it spells
‘THEIRS’?

Message For the Day…” Impartial Vision is Auspicious Vision …”

The lion, though crowned as the king of the forest, turns back every few steps while walking through the woods, because it is afraid of being pursued. Fear in the mind will make your vision falter. Violence within the heart distorts the vision and distracts the sight. Be vigilant! You must practice and develop impartial vision. All creation must appear equally auspicious in your eyes. You must look upon all with as much love and faith as they have in themselves, for absolutely nothing is evil in creation – no, not even an iota! Evil appears as such only through faulty vision. Creation is colored only by the nature of the glasses you wear. By itself, every creation is eternally pure and holy. Hence you must cultivate one-pointed steadfastness (ekagrata) in whatever you do. Impartial vision (sama-drishti) is auspicious vision (subha-drishti).

Message For the Day….” Difference Between Happiness and Bliss…”

Happiness generally relates to bodily comforts and is transient. Such temporary pleasure comes to us for a few moments but very soon plunges us into deep sorrow. But the kind of bliss that one gets through the Soul (Atma) is permanent, pure and selfless. Hence spiritual education (Brahma Vidya)advocates that love must be cultivated for love’s sake only. You must not express love to merely obtain material benefits. If love is showered to win temporary benefits, then it will last for a very short time only. Divine Atmasymbolises eternal truth and is permanent. Therefore Prema attached to Atmawill be true and permanent. This infinite love and eternal truth is present in every being (jīva). If we focus on developing love and truth for its own sake, then we will experience bliss supreme. That is why the Upanishads advocate Selfless Love as ‘Satyasya satyaṃ’ or the Truth of truths.

joke of the Day… ” I took a Photo …” !!!

My wife said she wanted to see 50 Shades of Grey.

So I took a photo of her hair!

…………………….

While stitching a cut on the hand of a 75-year-old farmer, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man.

Eventually the topic got around to politicians and their role as our leaders.

The old farmer said, “Well, as I see it, most politicians are ‘Post Tortoises’.”

Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a ‘post tortoise’ was.

The old farmer said, “When you’re driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a tortoise balanced on top, that’s a post tortoise.”

The old farmer saw the puzzled look on the doctor’s face so he continued to explain.

“You know he didn’t get up there by himself,

he doesn’t belong up there,

he doesn’t know what to do while he’s up there,

he’s elevated beyond his ability to function,

and you just wonder what kind of idiot put him up there to begin with.”
