A Difficult Judgment . . .

In a small town in India, a person decided to open up his bar shop,
which was right opposite to a temple.
The temple & its congregation started a campaign to block the bar from
opening with petitions and prayed daily against his business.

Meanwhile work progressed. However, when it was almost complete and
about to open a few days later, a strong lightning struck the bar and
it was burnt to the ground

The temple folks were rather smug in their outlook after that, till
the bar owner sued the temple authorities on the grounds that the
temple through its congregation & prayers was ultimately responsible
for the demise of his bar shop, either through their direct or
indirect actions or means.

In its reply to the court, the temple vehemently denied all
responsibility or any connection that their prayers were reasons for
the bar shop's demise.


As the case made its way into court, the judge looked over the
paperwork at the hearing and commented:

I don't know how I'm going to decide this case, but it appears from
the paperwork,

'we have a bar owner who believes in the power of prayer
and
we have an entire temple and its devotees that don't.'

Asgni Meele Purohitam is the first verse of Rig Veda

HMV had once published a pamphlet giving the history of gramophone
record. Gramophone was invented by Thomas Alva Edison in the 19th
century. Edison, who had invented many other gadgets like electric
light and the motion picture camera, had become a legend even in his
own time.


When He invented the gramophone record, which could record human voice
for posterity, he wanted to record the voice of an eminent scholar on
his first piece. For that he chose Prof. Max Muller of England,another
great personality of the 19th century. He wrote to Max Muller saying,
"I want to meet you and record your voice. When should I come?" Max
Muller who had great respect for Edison asked him to come on a
suitable time when most of the scholars of the Europe would be
gathering in England.



Accordingly Edison took a ship and went to England. He was introduced
to the audience. All cheered Edison's presence. Later at the request
of Edison Max Muller came on the stage and spoke in front of the
instrument. Then Edison went back to his laboratory and by afternoon
came back with a disc. He played the gramophone disc from his
instrument. The audience was thrilled to hear the voice of Max Muller
from the instrument.They were glad that voices of great persons like
Max Muller could be stored for the benefit of posterity.



After several rounds of applause and congratulations to Thomas Alwa
Edison, Max Muller came to the stage and addressed the scholars and
asked them, "You heard my original voice in the morning. Then you
heard the same voice coming out from this instrument in the afternoon.
Do you understand what I said in the morning or what you heard in the
afternoon?".



The audience fell silent because they could not understand the
language in which Max Muller had spoken.It was `Greek and Latin' to
them as they say. But had it been Greek or Latin, they would have
definitely understood because they were from various parts of Europe.
It was in a language which the European scholars had never heard.



Max Muller then explained what he had spoken.He said that the language
he spoke was Sanskrit and it was the first sloka of Rig Veda, which
says "Agni Meele Purohitam" . This was the first recorded public
version on the gramophone plate.



Why did Max Muller choose this? Addressing the audience he said,
"Vedas are the oldest text of the human race. And Agni Meele Purohitam
is the first verse of Rig Veda. In the most primordial time when the
people of Europe were jumping like Chimpanzees, from tree to tree and
branch to branch, when they did not know how to cover their bodies,
but with fig leaves, did not know agriculture and lived by hunting and
lived in caves, at that remote past, Indians had attained high
civilization and they gave to the world universal philosophies in the
form of the Vedas.

THIS IS A REALLY GREAT ONE.....

In the Great Epics of India, Ramayan and Mahabharata, war ends not
with celebration of victory but with transmission of knowledge. In the
Ramayan, Ravan lies mortally wounded on the battlefield, when Ram
turns to his brother Lakshman, and says, “While Ravan was a brute, he
was also a great scholar. Go to him quickly and request him to share
whatever knowledge he can.” The obedient Lakshman rushes to Ravan’s
side and whispers in his ears, “Demon King, all your life you have
taken not given. Now the noble Ram gives you an opportunity to mend your ways. Share your vast wisdom. Do not let it die with you. For that you will be
blessed.” Ravan responds by simply turning away. An angry Lakshman
goes back to Ram and says: “He is as arrogant as he always was, too
proud to share anything.” Ram looks at his brother and asks him
softly, “Where did you stand while asking him for knowledge?” “Next to
his head so that I hear what he had to say clearly.” Ram smiles,
places his bow on the ground and walks to where Ravan lies. Lakshman
watches in astonishment as his brother kneels at Ravan’s feet. With
palms joined, with extreme humility, Ram says, “Lord of Lanka, you
abducted my wife, a terrible crime for which I have been forced to
punish you. Now, you are no more my enemy. I see you now as you are
known across the world, as the wise son of Rishi Vishrava. I bow to
you and request you to share your wisdom with me. Please do that for
if you die without doing so, all your wisdom will be lost forever to the
world.” To Lakshman’s surprise, Ravan opens his eyes and raises his
arms to salute Ram, “If only I had more time as your teacher than as
your enemy. Standing at my feet as a student should, you are a worthy
recipient of my knowledge. I have very little time so I cannot share
much but let me tell you one important lesson I have learnt in my
life. Things that are bad for you seduce you easily; you run towards
them impatiently. But things that are good for you, fail to attract
you. You shun them creatively, finding excuses to justify your
procrastination. That is why I was impatient to abduct Sita but
procrastinated in meeting you. This is the wisdom of my life, dear
Ram. My last words I give to you.” With these words, Ravan dies.



There’s similar knowledge transmission after the Mahabharat war gets
over. The Kauravas are all dead. As the victorious Pandavas are about
to assume control of Hastinapur, Lord Krishna advises them to talk to
Bhisma Pitamaha, their grand uncle, who lies mortally wounded on the
battlefield. As a result of a devine blessing, death would elude him
for some more time. “Make him talk until his last breath. Ask him
questions. He has a lot to tell,” says Krishna . Sure enough, when
prompted, the dying Bhisma spends hours discussing various topics:
history, geography, politics, economics, management, war, ethics,
morality, astronomy, metaphysics and spirituality. Bhisma’s discourse
is detailed in the Shanti Parva (discussions on Peace) and Anushasan
Parva (discussions on Discipline) that makes up a quarter of the
Mahabharata. After listening to their grand uncle, the Pandavas have a
better understanding of the world, and this makes them better rulers.
Ram asked Ravan for his wisdom before his death. The Pandavas listened
to a lengthy discourse from Bhisma as he lay dying on the battlefield.
In the context of commercial organisations, this is
Knowledge Management. Both these stories draw attention to the value
of knowledge. In triumph, it is easy to claim material possessions of
the defeated, but it is not easy to claim their knowledge. Knowledge
does not outlive death. It is lost for ever with the death of the
knowledgeable.



Every day, people leave organisations, taking their knowledge with
them – knowledge which they acquired because they were part of the
organisation. They take with them knowledge of clients, markets,
business processes, tricks of trade, etc. These may not be
confidential information or patented information, but it is
information that gives an organisation its cutting edge. Over the past
decade, a whole new business process known as Knowledge Management has
evolved that seeks to harness, store, transmit this knowledge. Every
CEO agrees that it is a valuable business process, that investment in
it is critical. Policies have been made, people have been hired and
systems have been deployed. Unfortunately, for all the initial
enthusiasm, implementation has been lacking.



Often because they are like Sahadeva, the youngest Pandava. In the
Mahabharata, he is described as an expert in many predictive sciences
such as astrology, palmistry and face reading. But he is also cursed
in a manner that if he ever gave information voluntarily, his head
will split and he would die instantenously. That is why he is silent
throughout the epic. He knows every fortune and misfortune that his
family will go through, but he can never use his knowledge to forewarn
them. When Dharmaraj Yudhishtira finally learns of his brother’s
prowess he is furious: “Why did you not tell me all that you knew?”
All he gets in response is Sahadeva’s silence. Most employees in an
organisation are Sahadevas (by choice). They are dumb when it comes to
sharing knowledge. Knowledge Management is leadership driven. Only a
Ram can do it, not a Laskhman . He must first believe in it.
We must respect the fact that everyone in
the organisation, even those who we do not particularly like, are
repositories of great wisdom – not only knowledge of things that work
but also knowledge of things that do not work. We must make conscious
efforts to capture as much of it as possible. Take a step back. Check
if you are creatively shunning this rather tedious matter of Knowledge
Management. If you are, then remember that Ramayan and Mahabharata
were written at a time when civilization had just set in, probably six
or seven thousand years ago and even then our saints and sages knew
what will take India forward: Knowledge Management. It will be a pity
if we do not take advantage of lessons imparted by these immortal
epics. The advanced western world makes full use of these lessons,
unfortunately we still don't. We consider Ramayan and Mahabharata as
religous books, which they are NOT.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

There was a Nebraska farmer who grew award-winning corn. Each year he entered his corn in the state fair where it won a blue ribbon...
One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something interesting about how he grew it. The reporter discovered that the farmer shared his seed corn with his neighbors.
"How can you afford to share your best seed corn with your neighbors when they are entering corn in competition with yours each year?" the reporter asked.
"Why sir," said the farmer, "didn't you know? The wind picks up pollen from the ripening corn and swirls it from field to field. If my neighbors grow inferior corn, cross-pollination will steadily degrade the quality of my corn. If I am to grow good corn, I must help my neighbors grow good corn."
He is very much aware of the connectedness of life. His corn cannot improve unless his neighbor's corn also improves.
So it is in other dimensions. Those who choose to be at peace must help their neighbors to be at peace. Those who choose to live well must help others to live well, for the value of a life is measured by the lives it touches. And those who choose to be happy must help others to find happiness for the welfare of each is bound up with the welfare of all.

The lesson for each of us is this: if we are to grow good corn, we must help our neighbors grow good corn.

HAVE A NICE DAY

THE DONKEY STORY ...worth reading!

One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway; it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.
He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement he quieted down.
A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well. He was astonished at what he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up.
As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and happily trotted off!
MORAL :
Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a steppingstone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up.

Remember the five simple rules to be happy:

1. Free your heart from hatred - Forgive.
2. Free your mind from worries - Most never happens.
3. Live simply and appreciate what you have.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less from people but more from God.

You have two choices... smile and close this page,

IF YOU HAVE TIME, PLZ READ THIS :)

Conversation with GOD so very beautiful...

God
Hello. Did you call me?

Me
Called you? No. Who is this?

God
This is GOD. I heard your prayers. So I thought I will chat.

Me
I do pray. Just makes me feel good. I am actually busy now. I am in the midst of something.

God
What are you busy at? Ants are busy too.

Me
Don't know. But I can't find free time. Life has become hectic. It's rush hour all the time.

God
Sure. Activity gets you busy. But productivity gets you results. Activity consumes time. Productivity frees it.

Me
I understand. But I still can't figure out. By the way, I was not expecting YOU to buzz me on instant messaging chat.

God
Well I wanted to resolve your fight for time, by giving you some clarity. In this net era, I wanted to reach you through the medium you are comfortable with.

Me
Tell me, why has life become complicated now?

God
Stop analyzing life. Just live it. Analysis is what makes it complicated.

Me
Why are we then constantly unhappy?

God
Your today is the tomorrow that you worried about yesterday. You are worrying because you are analyzing. Worrying has become your habit. That's why you are not happy.

Me
But how can we not worry when there is so much uncertainty?

God
Uncertainty is inevitable, but worrying is optional.

Me
But then, there is so much pain due to uncertainty.

God
Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional.

Me
If suffering is optional, why do good people always suffer?

God
Diamond cannot be polished without friction. Gold cannot be purified without fire. Good people go through trials, but don't suffer. With that experience, their life become better not bitter.

Me
You mean to say such experience is useful?

God
Yes. In every term, Experience is a hard teacher. She gives the test first and the lessons afterwards.

Me
But still, why should we go through such tests? Why can't we be free from problems?

God
Problems are Purposeful Roadblocks Offering Beneficial Lessons (to) Enhance Mental Strength. Inner strength comes from struggle and endurance, not when you are free from problems.

Me
Frankly in the midst of so many problems, we don't know where we are heading.

God
If you look outside, you will not know where you are heading. Look inside. Looking outside, you dream. Looking inside, you awaken. Eyes provide sight. Heart provides insight.

Me
Sometimes not succeeding fast seems to hurt more than moving in the right direction. What should I do?

God
Success is a measure as decided by others. Satisfaction is a measure as decided by you. Knowing the road ahead is more satisfying than knowing your road ahead. You work with the compass. Let others work with the clock.

Me
In tough times, how do you stay motivated?

God
Always look at how far you have come rather than how far you have to go. Always count your blessing, not what you are missing.

Me
What surprises you about people?

God
When they suffer they ask, "why me?" When they prosper, they never ask "Why me". Everyone wishes to have truth on their side, but few want to be on the side of the truth.

Me
Sometimes I ask, who am I, why am I here. I can't get the answer.

God
Seek not to find who you are, but to determine who you want to be. Stop looking for a purpose as to why you are here. Create it. Life is not a process of discovery but a process of creation.

Me
How can I get the best out of life?

God
Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear.

Me
One last question. Sometimes I feel my prayers are not answered.

God
There are no unanswered prayers. At times, the answer is NO.

Me
Thank you for this wonderful chat.

God
Well. Keep the faith and drop the fear. Don't believe your doubts and doubt your beliefs. Life is a mystery to solve not a problem to resolve. Trust me. Life is wonderful if you know how to live. "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that took our breath away

LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP QUOTES

1. It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return, But what is more
painful is to love someone and never find the courage
to let that person know how you feel.

2. A sad thing in life is when you meet someone who means a lot to you,
only to find out in the end that it was never meant to be
and you just have to let go.

3. The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch swing with,
never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best
conversation you've ever had.

4. It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's
also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.

5. It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like
someone, and a day to love someone-but it takes a lifetime
to forget someone.

6. Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that
fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a
smile to make a dark day seem bright.

7. Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you
want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the
things you want to do.

8. Always put yourself in the other's shoes. If you feel that it hurts you,
it probably hurts the person too.

9. A careless word may kindle strife; a cruel word may wreck a life; a
timely word may level stress; a loving word may heal and bless.

10. The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything
they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.

11. Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, ends with a tear. When you
were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling.
Live your life so that when you die, you're the one smiling
and everyone around you is crying

TEN PRINCIPLES FOR PEACE OF MIND.........

1. Do Not Interfere In Others' Business Unless Asked:

Most of us create our own problems by interfering too often in others' affairs.
We do so because somehow we have convinced ourselves that our way is the best way, our logic is the perfect logic and those who do not conform to our thinking must be criticized and steered to the right direction, our direction.
This thinking denies the existence of individuality and consequently the existence of God..
God has created each one of us in a unique way.

No two human beings can think or act in exactly the same way.All men or women act the way they do because God within them prompts them that way.
Mind your own business and you will keep your peace.

2. Forgive And Forget:

This is the most powerful aid to peace of mind.
We often develop ill feelings inside our heart for the person who insults us or harms us.
We nurture grievances.
This in turn results in loss of sleep, development of stomach ulcers, and high blood pressure.
This insult or injury was done once, but nourishing of grievance goes on forever by constantly remembering it.
Get over this bad habit.
Life is too short to waste in such trifles.
Forgive & Forget, and march on.
Love flourishes in giving and forgiving.

3. Do Not Crave For Recognition:

This world is full of selfish people.
They seldom praise anybody without selfish motives.
They may praise you today because you are in power, but no sooner than you are powerless, they will forget your achievement and will start finding faults in you.
Why do you wish to kill yourself in striving for their recognition?
Their recognition is not worth the aggravation.
Do your duties ethically and sincerely.

4. Do Not Be Jealous:
We all have experienced how jealousy can disturb our peace of mind.
You know that you work harder than your colleagues in the office, but sometimes they get promotions; you do not.
You started a business several years ago, but you are not as successful as your neighbor whose business is only one year old.
There are several examples like these in everyday life.
Should you be jealous?
No.

5. Change Yourself According To The Environment:

If you try to change the environment single-handedly, the chances are you will fail.
Instead, change yourself to suit your environment.
As you do this, even the environment, which has been unfriendly to you, will mysteriously change and seem congenial and harmonious.

6. Endure What Cannot Be Cured:
This is the best way to turn a disadvantage into an advantage.
Every day we face numerous inconveniences, ailments, irritations, and accidents that are beyond our control.
If we cannot control them or change them, we must learn to put up with these things.
We must learn to endure them cheerfully.
Believe in yourself and you will gain in terms of patience, inner strength and will power.

7. Do Not Bite Off More Than You Can Chew:

This maxim needs to be remembered constantly.
We often tend to take more responsibilities than we are capable of carrying out.Know your limitations. . Why take on additional loads that may create more worries?
You cannot gain peace of mind by expanding your external activities.
Reduce your material engagements and spend time in prayer, introspection and
meditation. This will reduce those thoughts in your mind that make you restless.
Uncluttered mind will produce greater peace of mind.

8. Meditate Regularly:

Meditation calms the mind and gets rid of disturbing thoughts.
This is the highest state of peace of mind.
Try and experience it yourself.
If you meditate earnestly for half an hour everyday, your mind will tend to become peaceful during the remaining twenty-three and half-hours.
Your mind will not be easily disturbed as it was before.

You would benefit by gradually increasing the period of daily meditation.
You may think that this will interfere with your daily work.
On the contrary, this will increase your efficiency and you will be able to produce better results in less time.

9. Never Leave The Mind Vacant:

An empty mind is the devil's workshop.
All evil actions start in the vacant mind.
Keep your mind occupied in something positive, something worthwhile.
Actively follow a hobby.
Do something that holds your interest.
You must decide what you value more: money or peace of mind.
Your hobby, like social work or religious work, may not always earn you more money, but you will have a sense of fulfillment and achievement.
Even when you are resting physically, occupy yourself in healthy reading or mental chanting of God's name.

10. Do Not Procrastinate And Never Regret:

Do not waste time in protracted wondering " Should I or shouldn't I?"
Days, weeks, months, and years may be wasted in that futile mental debating.
You can never plan enough because you can never anticipate all future happenings.
Value your time and do the things that need to be done.

It does not matter if you fail the first time.
You can learn from your mistakes and succeed the next time.
Sitting back and worrying will lead to nothing.
Learn from your mistakes, but do not brood over the past.
DO NOT REGRET.
Why cry over spilt milk?.

IT WILL JUS TAKE 37 SECONDS TO READ THIS AND CHANGE UR THINKING....

Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room.

One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the room's only window.

The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back.

The men talked for hours on end.They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation..

Every afternoon, when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window.

The man in the other bed began to live for those one hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and colour of the world outside.

The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every colour and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance.

As the man by the window described all this in exquisite details, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine this picturesque scene.

One warm afternoon, the man by the window described a parade passing by. Although the other man could not hear the band - he could see it in his mind's eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words.

Days, weeks and months passed.

One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep. She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away.

As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone.

Slowly, painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the real world outside... He strained to slowly turn to look out the window besides the bed.

It faced a blank wall......!! !!!

The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window.

The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall.
She said, 'Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you.'
Epilogue :

There is tremendous happiness in making others happy, despite our own situations.
Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness when shared, is doubled.
If you want to feel rich, just count all the things you have that money can't buy.
'Today is a gift, that is why it is called The Present !'
