People generally like purity of atmosphere, environment and even bodily purity so that they may live a comfortable life. Internal purity will automatically bring external purity.  A man with internal purity will act righteously in all his activities. Nobody likes impurity. That is why some people maintain purity for others sake to have good relationship with them. Whatever it may be, keeping oneself pure and clean is beneficial both to self and to others. It keeps diseases away and gives long life too. This is true and known to each and every body. But there is one more field (aspect) where we have to maintain purity.  That is the field of thinking.  That is quite internal. Having pure thought is a godly quality. No doubt it is an inborn quality in human beings. It will come from nowhere. It is already there within. Only thing we have to do is to maintain it as it is. But what we do is, we spoil it with wrong conceptions. For example if our neighbor or relative gets wonderful gai

After a long time I got a chance to share some thoughts with you. I had gone through some books this time again, I am learning a bit of knowledge every time from them. While reading about Lord Rama in Bhagavatham I was so inspired by the way Lord Rama treats his brothers. Rama is a good example for a son, brother, husband and for a great emperor as well. There is an incident in Ramayana in which Rama was playing with his brothers and after the play was over Rama went to ‘Kaikeyi’ (his step mother) and told her that he was defeated by Bharatha (his brother) with a large smile on his face and happiness, but Bharatha complained that Rama was losing the game every time to make Bharatha happy and win the game. The lesson we can learn from it is those who serves others will reap more. Giving is a joy in comparison to Receiving . This is a simple principle in life ‘the life lead for others (for other’s happiness) is more worthy and has a meaning for it.’ For a man to live without self

There is a word in Sanskrit 'Sahityam' . All the literature i.e., writings in prose, poetry or in any other manner comes under this main heading Sahityam, which really means ' with good, with welfare ' and for good only. By this we can understand that the responsible writers or poets, the modern bloggers, web publishers should write only good and which helps the readers to live in welfare. But nowadays, many writers or bloggers or poets have broken all the bars (standards) and are writing whatever they like, causing mental turmoil to the readers. Sex, violence, terrorism and superstitions are being inflicted on the common man especially on the youth in the form of books (mediocre and misguiding), cinemas, TV series and through the websites.

Nowadays, all the world's professionals think too much about the ' Management' and ' Efficiency ' and the age-old genuine principle centeredness has lost its ground already as most people today think that it is useless or at least non-profitable to think about Honesty, Authenticity, etc. People have forgotten to think much about their character and they are more interested in learning techniques and strategies to keep the things moving. They work very hard to improve productivity by forgetting the human factor and only run after profits either by using some advanced technology or by cutting down the running/operating costs. But to be the best in this world, to lead this world in the proper way, we need Leaders and not the Managers alone. As Stephen Covey has said in his world famous book, 'The 7 Habits of highly effective People', there is this great punch line for us:

If you are a follower of Sahaj Marg , you might know very well what Mahatma Sri Ramachandraji Maharaj says about the Way of Life . However for the first time readers/visitors, here is the summary of Babuji's spiritual wisdom . The end of 'Religion' is the beginning of 'Spirituality', the end of 'Spirituality' is the beginning of 'Reality' and the end of 'Reality' is the 'Real Bliss'. When that too is gone we have reached the 'Destination'. That is it. That is Sahaj Marg and Babuji's great and priceless message summarized for you! What we can understand from the above sentences is that one has to evolve step by step from the stages of Religion, Spirituality, Reality and Bliss and further  on to the real goal of life i.e., mergence with the Ultimate  losing total individuality.  For this one need not leave his regular way of life.  Only thing one has to do is to regularize one's way of life.

The best inspirational book for any Indian is the autobiography of the living legend, Bharata Ratna Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam well known to us as "WINGS OF FIRE" and before we discuss about the same we need to discuss about some facts related to modern India. What is happening in India today? There are good Indians who work hard and are loyal to the country but these people are always in doubt about their own character and principles because they often encounter problems in their lives due to the stupid events happening around them, due to the Resident Non Indians.

This is a nice fact that it is not important what we do. Sometimes, it is only important how best we can do a job (of course the job should not be something like robbery or violence and terrorism, it should be legal, moral and spiritually justified). In engineering terms, we can say, it is not the quantity of the job we do that is important, but the quality of the job which is important.

Sooner or Later a man who wins is who thinks he can. No Defeat if final until you stop Trying! You only control your action and not the results. So be not motivated by results, nor be attached to inaction. See how simple and great are the above lines. It is true that Greatness lies in the Simplicity . To become great we shall not look at the great achievements or results attained by the Great people but shall look at the path they followed to become Great. So if we make up our mind to do good to this world by our words and deeds, then by consistently following this good path, sure on one day we would become Great.
