Good and Bad News

The drill sergeant making his morning announcements to a group of newcomers in a training camp, stated: "Today, gentlemen, I have some good news and some bad news.

First, the good news Private Peters will be setting the pace on our morning run.”

With this the platoon was overjoyed, as Private Peters was overweight and terribly slow.

But then the drill sergeant finished his statement: "Now for the bad news. Private Peters will be driving a truck."

Sincere Life

Speech by Chetan Bhagat at Symbiosis…

Don’t just have career or academic goals. Set goals to give you a balanced, successful life. I use the word balanced before successful. Balanced means ensuring your health, relationships, mental peace are all in good order. There is no point of getting a promotion on the day of your breakup. There is no fun in driving a car if your back hurts. Shopping is not enjoyable if your mind is full of tensions.

"Life is one of those races in nursery school where you have to run with a marble in a spoon kept in your mouth. If the marble falls, there is no point coming first. Same is with life where health and relationships are the marble. Your striving is only worth it if there is harmony in your life. Else, you may achieve the success, but this spark, this feeling of being excited and alive, will start to die…

One thing about nurturing the spark - don't take life seriously. Life is not meant to be taken seriously, as we are really temporary here. We are like a pre-paid card with limited validity. If we are lucky, we may last another 50 years. And 50 years is just 2,500 weekends. Do we really need to get so worked up? …

It's ok, bunk a few classes, scoring low in couple of papers, goof up a few interviews, take leave from work, fall in love, little fights with your spouse. We are people, not programmed devices...”

 Don't be Serious, be Sincere guys !!!

It happened some years ago but I can recall the evening like it happened just last week. I was in an audience listening to a motivational guru. The speaker whipped out his wallet and pulled out a five hundred-rupee note. Holding it up, he asked, "Who wants this five hundred rupee note?"

Burnt Biscuits

When I was a kid, my mom liked to make breakfast food for dinner every now and then. And I remember one night in particular when she had made breakfast after a long, hard day at work. On that evening so long ago, my mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage and extremely burned biscuits in front of my dad. I remember waiting to see if

Enlarge the Lives ........

"Really believe in your heart of hearts that your fundamental purpose, the reason for being, is to enlarge the lives of others. Your life will be enlarged also.
And all of the other things we have been taught to concentrate on will take care of themselves."

Samaj

બસ એટલી સમજ મને પરવરદિગાર દે,
સુખ જ્યારે જ્યાં મળે, બધાના વિચાર દે.

માની લીધું કે પ્રેમની કોઈ દવા નથી,
જીવનના દર્દની તો કોઈ સારવાર દે.

Mijaaj

દીલ દે તો ઇસ મીજાજ કા, પર​વરદીગાર દે;
જો રંજ કી ઘડી કો ભી, ખુશી મેં ગુઝાર દે.

चिदानंदरूपः शिवोऽहं शिवोऽहम्

न पुण्यं न पापं न सौख्य न दुःखं न मंत्रो न तीर्थ न वेदा न यज्ञाः ।
 अहं भोजनं नैव भोज्यं न भोक्ता चिदानंदरूपः शिवोऽहं शिवोऽहम् ॥ ४ ॥

 મને પુણ્ય નથી, પાપ નથી, સુખ નથી, દુઃખ નથી. તેમ જ મારે મંત્ર, તીર્થ, વેદો કે યજ્ઞો (ની જરૂર) નથી. વળી હું ભોજન (ક્રિયા), ભોજ્ય (પદાર્થ) કે ભોક્તા (ક્રિયા કરનાર - ભોગવનાર) પણ નથી. હું તો મંગલકારી, કલ્યાણકારી ચિદાનંદ સ્વરૂપ છું.

"Cracked Pots" !

Old Story Worth to recollect

A water bearer in China had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole which he carried across his neck. One of the pots Had a crack in it, while the other pot was perfect and always Delivered a full portion of water. At the end of the long walk from the stream to the House, the cracked pot arrived only half full.  For a full two years this went on daily, with the bearer delivering only one and a half pots full of water to  his house. Of course,

Response Vs Reaction

At a restaurant, a cockroach suddenly flew from somewhere and sat on a lady.

She started screaming out of fear. With a panic stricken face and trembling voice, she started jumping, with both her hands desperately trying to get rid of the cockroach. Her reaction was
ભૂખ લાગે ત્યારે ખાવું તે પ્રકૃતિ;
ભૂખ ન લાગી હોય તોય ખાવું તે વિકૃતિ અને
ભૂખ્યા રહીને બીજાને ખવરાવવું તે સંસ્કૃતિ...

આપણે એવું નહીં વિચારવું કે ભગવાન અમારા શુભ ફળ તરત કેમ નથી આપતા,
બલકે ભગવાનનો આભાર માનો કે આપણને ભૂલની સજા તરત નથી આપતા.

પણ એ ક્યાં જાણે છે કે, આ તો નદીએ આપેલો પ્રેમ ઉધાર છે....
