[Visalakshi Ramani]

ஈசன் எனக்கருதி எல்லா உயிர்களையும்

நேசத்தால் நீ நினைந்துகொள்.

ஒளவைக் குறள்

ஒவ்வொரு ஜீவனிலும் இறைவன் உறைகின்றான்.

அதை நினைவில் கொண்டால் நம்மால் எதையும்

எவரையும் மனதார வெறுக்க முடியாது.

அன்பு எல்லாம் தரும், எதையும் எதிர் பார்க்காது.

அல்லல் படவும் தயாராக இருக்கும் அன்பு.

பழிக்குப் பழி வாங்காது உண்மையான அன்பு.

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

Thinking ourselves to be incapable of many feats we live a life of self -fulfilling prophesies of failures. Rising above prejudices and mind-blocks will open a whole new set of possibilities from where one can spread his wings,fly high and reach for others.



Dorothy Victor

Hanuman was so powerful and naughty when he was young,
that he was made o forget his own powers and strength.
I think that way most of us are the same.
Someone like Jaambavaan must come along to wake us up to the reality.

Ram's dad used to follow this, I guess. When food is served to him, he will always say, 'edhEshtam' and not 'pORum'!

yathaa + ishtam = as much as I like to have.

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

Generally Christians celebrate the Christmas in a grand scale. They expect
the same spirit should be forever. There is quote in this connection from a
known author :

I wish we could put some of the Christmas spirit in jars and open a jar
of it every month.


Harlan Miller

It will be possible if the jars are the minds of the people.

Thoughts become words and words become actions!!!!

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

Good Judgment Comes From Experience...
And often Experience Comes From Bad Judgment...

Experience keeps a costly school but

most of us will not learn from anywhere else.

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

“Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.” ―Gautama Buddha

In other words one must use his grey cells also!

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

“Whatever is destined not to happen will not happen, try as you may. Whatever is destined to happen will happen, do what you may to prevent it. This is certain. The best course, therefore, is to remain silent.”

Ramana Maharshi

Is it not better to go down trying

than remain standing suffering??? :decision:

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

One faces difficulties/problems in life normally when one approaches
the goal or target.

Balasubramanian

Difficulties and problems are

what friction is to movement!

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

You have given me food for thought. :decision:

Have I proved to be a good memory or a bad one??? :noidea:

I have DECIDED

not to become a mere memory...

[Visalakshi Ramani]

“Have faith in God and in yourself; that will cure all. Hope for the best, expect the best, toil for the best and everything will come right for you in the end.”

Ramana Maharshi

prepare for the worst

sounds more practical to me.

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

“There is neither creation nor destruction, neither destiny nor free will, neither
path nor achievement. This is the final truth.”

Ramana Maharshi

The world is Mythya and God is Sathyam.

Maayaa kalpitha prapancham = world

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

“Time is only an idea. There is only the Reality Whatever you
think it is, it looks like that. If you call it time, it is time. If you
call it existence, it is existence, and so on. After calling it time, you
divide it into days and nights, months, years, hours, minutes, etc.
Time is immaterial for the Path of Knowledge. But some of these
rules and discipline are good for beginners.”

Ramana Maharshi

Time is a constantly flowing stream.

We can't measure time!!!

What we measure is the

DIFFERENCE between two points

in the stream of Time and

we call it as second/ minute/

hour/ day/ week/ month/ year etc.

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

“No one succeeds without effort... Those who succeed owe their

“There is neither Past nor Future. There is only the Present.”

Ramana Maharshi

Past is a history.

Future is a mystery

Present is the reality.

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

“The ability to observe without evaluating is the highest form of intelligence.”
― Jiddu Krishnamurti

Evaluation depends on the personal scale

and more often than not biased and false!

AND who gave us the right to evaluate the others???

Quotes of Shri Swami Chinmayananda

"Success or achievement is not the final goal. It is the 'spirit' in which you act that puts the seal of beauty upon your life."

"The tragedy of human history is decreasing happiness in the midst of increasing comforts."

"Disappointment can come only to those Who make Appointment with the future."

"A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks that others throw at him."

"In all adversities there is always in its depth, a treasure of spiritual blessings secretly hidden."

"Sin is never in action, it is always in reaction."

"`Moksha' is not `Freedom from Action' but, `Freedom in Action'."

"Faith is, `To believe what you do not see', the reward of which is, `you see what you believed'."

"What you have is all His Gift to you. What you do with what you have is your Gift to Him."

"Silently hear everyone.
Accept what is good.
Reject and forget what is not.
This is intelligent living."

"In life to handle yourself, use your head, but to handle others, use your heart." (I love this one personally!)

"Plan out your work
Then work out your plan.
The former without the latter is a sheer waste.
The latter without the former is mere unproductive confusion."

"Strange! Wealth estranges us all. It is all very strange, the money psychology! When you have not got any, you will pant to get some! When you get some, you grow jealous of others who have more, and feel conceited among those who have less!"

"Without devotion, knowledge is tasteless.
Without knowledge, devotion is mere empty idol worship."

Without devotion, knowledge becomes like paper flower... pretty but useless!

Without knowledge, devotion becomes like the make-believe-play-of the children.

" A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new." -Albert Einstein,

We are capable of repeating mistakes. So I will revise the statement and say

" A person who never made a mistake never tried his at anything."
