Perfect Girl............
The Perfect Girl ..................
A friend asked a gentleman how it is that he never married ?
Replied the gentleman, "Well, I guess I just never met the right woman ...
I guess I've been looking for the perfect girl."
"Oh, come on now," said the friend, "Surely you have met at least one girl that you wanted to marry."
"Yes, there was one girl .. once. I guess she was the one perfect girl .. the only perfect girl I really ever met. She was just the right everything .. I really mean that she was the perfect girl for me."
"Well, why didn't you marry her," asked the friend.
"She was looking for the perfect man," he said.

Mystic Truth...............
MYSTIC TRUTH...........
Brahma Jnana is the awareness of God’s presence in all objects of creation and Brahma Dhyana is the meditation on this truth. To realize that all differences in form, name and tendencies are superficial while the indwelling soul is the essence of the eternal truth. The underlying theme in the Upanishads is the establishing the identity of the Brahman and the jeevathma. Since different seers reveal the eternal truth from different angles to enable individuals with varying aptitudes to comprehend it. The Upanishads continue to have a universal appeal. Such open-ended views eschew any trace of dogmatism also.
The stories in the Upanishads set forth the Vedic doctrines such as self-realization, yoga, meditation, karma, reincarnation etc. that are hidden and not easily grasped. The effort and commitment that is needed when one seeks to gain enlightenment about Brahma Jnana is well illustrated in the stories of Janasruthi and Satyakama related in the Chandogya Upanishad.
Janasruthi came to know of Raikva’s fame through the conversation of two celestials in the form of a swan. With offerings that bespoke his munificence, Janasruthi sought Raikva’s instruction. Raikva taught that it is difficult to perceive the Brahman who dwells variously, as He is the self of all celestials, the creator of all beings, and who finally annihilates allSathyakama’s enlightenment from Gauthama highlights, the value of straightforwardness and the sanctity of Guru-Shishya relationship. Sathyakama gained Gautahama as his preceptor, because he spoke the truth about his lineage. Gautahama had asked him to tend cows and he did this with utmost commitment for some time. Then the celestials in the form of a bull, fire, swan, water, and bird taught him the subtleties of Brahma Jnana. The preceptor saw the effulgence of Brahma Jnana in the boy, and questioned him about it. The boy replied that though others had taught him, he still wished to be taught by the seer since the knowledge directly learnt from one’s own teacher becomes most beneficial.
In nutshell without the grace and blessings from Guru (Teacher/Master) No grace and blessings from God- You got to believe it.

Greatness of MOTHER
MATRUPANCHAKAM (Extolling the Greatness of Mother)..........
Sri Sankara Bhagvatpada(788AD - 820AD) played a major role in the propogation of benign mother worship. The great Acharya Sri Sankara with great difficulty, got the consent of his mother, to adopt Sanyasa Ashrama at a very tender age of eight. The mother seeing the firm resolve of her son and also the plight in which her little son was caught in between the jaws of death in the form of a crocodile, ultimately reconciled herself to the inevitable and gave consent to Sankara to become a yati. But she imposed a condition that Sri Sankara should be at her bed side at the time of her death and that he must cremate her with all rites after death. Sri Sankara also agreed to this and promised his mother to do so.
The five verses which form the Matru Panchakam are found to be in tune with the episode. Sankara with his intuitive powers sensed that the last moment of his mother's life was nearing. Aryambal also thought of her beloved son Sri Sankara. The Acharya was at the time in Sringeri and soon by the dint of his yogic powers hastenedto the side of his dying mother in his ancestral house at kalady. He stood reverentially with folded hands before his mother. He praises his mother ARYAMBAL in these five hymns.
In the first hymn he describes how the mother patiently undergoes the suffering from the time of conception to the moment of delivery. The unbearable pain at the time of giving birth to her son, the physical weakness during pregnancy, the misery she has to put up for one year with wet and dirty bed and agony of bearing the child in the womb for ten long months are highlighted in his salutations to his mother.

In the Second hymn he tells the following - once when Sri Sankara was pursuing his studies in the Gurukula, Aryambal had a dream in which she saw her tiny son taking to sanyasa. She was severely shocked about what she saw in her dream. She could not control herself. She ran to the gurukula, the next morning to verify the truth. she became emotional and wept there loudly. Seeing her in that pitiable plight the entire gurukula also wept alongwith her and shared her grief. This was indeed a premonition to Aryambal about the crocodile incident and sankara getting permission from her to go into the samnyasa ashrama. Sri Sankara recalls this incident at the time of Aryambal's death in this second hymn.

In the third stanza Sri Sankara laments that he could not perform any funeral rites because he is an ascetic. Sri Sankara was at the death bed of ARYAMBAL when she was fully conscious. She was indeed delighted to see her son at the right time. However Sankara describes the state of a son, who could not be present at the last moments of one's own mother. He recalls the paramount duty of a son to be present at the time of departure of her soul, offering the Ganges water in her mouth and uttering the KARNA JAPA namely the chanting of Taraka Rama nama into her right ear, by keeping the mother's head on his lap and finally offering oblations to the departed soul, chanting vedic mantras.

In fourth stanza - To an affectionate mother who has given everything to her son with loving words, sankara laments that he has been placed in a pitiable position to offer nothing but mere dry raw rice in her mouth. Here Sankara anguishes with emotion and is not able to control himself. This fourth stanza is so moving that it reflects the intense feelings of a duty bound son.

The fifth is the concluding stanza of this PANCHAKAM as implied by its name. Sankara once again remember the unbearable hardship his mother had suffered at the time of confinement for courage and support to withstand the pains. The great Acharya offers his gratitude to his loving mother, in this hymn.

Yes, something may indeed be impossible at the moment.
It Won't stay impossible for long.
How many good and fulfilling things have you given up on Because they once were impossible? Perhaps it's time to Consider them again.
Whatever you're able to achieve, comes from the realm of What is possible. And then, every achievement makes even More things possible.
Clearly focus your thoughts on the most wonderful outcome You can envision, and get yourself moving to make it happen.
If it's not possible now, it will be very soon.

Your Thoughts.............
With your thoughts you can open your eyes.
What you see in front of you is a function of the thoughts you nourish inside of you. Have you ever thought about a person whom you haven't heard from in a long time, and then that person suddenly appears again in your life?
It may seem magical or supernatural but it's not. For your thoughts did not magically cause that person to appear. Instead, your thoughts opened you up to connect with that person who was there all the time.
There are vast expanses of reality that you have never even considered. Your thoughts can open you up to experience all sorts of valuable and wondrous things.
Life becomes available to you to the extent that your thoughts allow.And the quality of life that you experience is very closely connected to the quality of your thoughts.
Your thoughts are the filter through which you connect with the world where you live. With your thoughts you can choose to experience the best of life's countless possibilities.

There is no need to fight against your doubts. You can simply decide to walk away from them. Though they may have become quite comfortable and well entrenched, your doubts exist only as long as you're willing to support them.
When your desire to move beyond them grows strong enough, then you can easily leave them behind.
Those doubts may seem big and imposing, but all their power comes from your thoughts. And you can choose to turn those thoughts in a completely different,and far more positive direction.
Think and act in the direction of your dreams. And your doubts will be left far behind.

Serenity is spiritual strength......................
Serenity........Is spiritual strenghth..... leads to SUCCESS
Calmness of mind is one of the beautiful jewels of wisdom.
It is the result of long and patient effort in self-control.Its presence is an indication of ripened experience, and of a more than ordinary knowledge of the laws and operations of thought.
A person becomes calm in the measure that one understands themselves as a thought evolved being, for such knowledge necessitates the understanding of others as the result of thought, and as one develops a right understanding, and sees more and more clearly the internal relations of things by the action of cause and effect, one ceases to fuss and fume and worry and grieve, and remains poised, steadfast, serene.
The calm person, having learned how to govern themselves, knows how to adapt themselves to others; and they, in turn, reverence their spiritual strength, and feel that they can learn of them and rely upon them.
The more tranquil a person becomes, the greater is their success, their influence, their power for good. Even the ordinary trader will find their business prosperity increase as one develops a greater self control and equanimity, for people will always prefer to deal with a person whose demeanor is strongly equable.
The strong, calm person is always loved and revered. They are like a shade-giving tree in a thirsty land, or a sheltering rock in a storm. Who does not love a tranquil heart, a sweet-tempered, balanced life?
It does not matter whether it rains or shines, or what changes come to those possessing these blessings, for they are always sweet, serene, and calm.
That exquisite poise of character which we call serenity is the last lesson of culture; is the flowering of life, the fruitage of the soul.
It is precious as wisdom, more to be desired than gold, than even fine gold.
How insignificant mere money seeking looks in comparison with a serene life – a life that dwells in the ocean of truth, beneath the waves,
beyond the reach of tempests, in the eternal calm!
How many people we know who sour their lives, who ruin all that is sweet and beautiful by explosive tempers, who destroy their poise of character, and make bad blood! It is a question whether the great majority of people do not ruin their lives and mar their happiness by lack of self-control flow few people we meet in lifewho are well-balanced, who have that exquisite poise which is characteristic of the finished character!

The purpose of spiritual discipline..........
Purpose of spiritual discipline is to take off the mask that hides our real face.
The lotus makes a beautiful symbol for the core of goodness in every human being. Though we are born of human clay, it remind us, each one of us has the latent capacity to reach and grow towards heaven until we shine with the reflected glory of our Creator.
A mask can hide a face completely. But the very nature of a mask is that it can be removed. This is the promise and the purpose of all spiritual discipline – to take off the mask that hides our real face.
What matters is not that we may have made mistakes in the pursuit of physical satisfaction; what is important is to learn from these mistakes as quickly as we can that wealth, possession, power, and pleasure have never brought lasting satisfaction to any human being. Our needs go too deep to be satisfied by anything that comes and goes. Nothing but spiritual fulfillment can fill the void in our hearts......................
And always Remember.......................................................
"You don't think to breath.....You breathe to Think."

Be Specific..............
Be Specific..................
It is impossible to complete a journey if you only have a vague,
general idea of where you're going. By contrast,
when you know exactly where you wish to go,
then every step you take brings you closer.'cause you are specific.
Be specific, and problems are transformed into
opportunities for achievement and growth.
Be specific, and your most treasured dreams
begin to pull you toward them.
Be specific, and misunderstandings disappear. Be specific,
and life will more often unfold the way you want.
Challenge yourself to go beyond the easy,
comfortable generalizations and put in the effort to be specific.
When you're clear about where you're going, you'll get there.

Love & Hate.................
Love & hate...................A very good one to read & follow.......
"Pl understand between the hater and the hated, it is always the hater who gets hurt more."
Every negative emotion secretes acid in your body, and acid destroys the vessel, which contains it. Negative emotions like anger, frustration and disappointment are visiting emotions. The consolation being, they rise in you when an event happens and then they die down once you are distracted into the other events. Hatred is a progressive negative emotion. It gains depth with the passage of time. The more you process your hurt the more you deepen your hatred, and as a result more acid is released in your system. It remains a lingering background. In fact, the hurt you suffered from the event is insignificant compared to how much you keep intensifying the hurt by repeatedly reprocessing what had happened or what was done to you. Hatred takes you away from your real you. You cease to feel, think and act as you. The ‘ hated ‘ now becomes the hero of your mind and heart, literally remote controlling how you feel, think and act.
The irony is that the ‘hated’ is oblivious to all this. Forgiveness is not liberating the other from you, but liberating yourself from the other. Nothing and nobody deserves a disturbing presence within you. Let go of the disturbance and let in peace.
Men are susceptible to mistakes. The inadequacies of man are part of the design. That is how it is meant to be. Wrong being a matter of self-realization, and not all men are evolved enough to be objective in judging themselves,‘ wrong ‘ will emanate out of men. Have not you noticed it on the road, the other driver always thinks only you were wrong, and gives you a stare? No human being is perfect. Man can at best strive towards perfection, but can never be or become flawless. People do what they do because at that point of time it seems to them that it is right. ‘ Wrong ‘ is seldom intentional. It is often out of ignorance. They do not know that they do not know. And, you can never make sense to a man against his Will. Whatever you may say, he will still have the last ‘ say ‘ justifying his actions. That is why, more than the one who committed the wrong, the one who pointed at the wrong will always be mistaken.
When that wrong committed by the other affects you, you get hurt. Your non-acceptance of the person and the situation that is affecting you turns hurt into hatred. If you intensify your hatred and decide on an eye-for-an-eye reaction, then it becomes revenge. One negative emotion cascades into yet another negative emotion. Progressively you will press your self-destructive button. Save yourself from yourself, much more than having to save yourself from others.
Let nothing that happens outside of you cause a blemish inside of you. Buddha prophesized, “ Hatred is never ended by hatred, but by love. “ People need your love much more when they are wrong than when they are right. Think only good even to those who have not been good to you. Live your character, no matter, what happens.
Every man will face the consequences of his own doing. You do not make yourself wrong to prove that the other is wrong. Give up your need to prove that the other is wrong. It changes nothing about your life. Give up your need to prove that you have been victimized. It still changes nothing about your life.You have nothing to prove. Something happened to teach you something. Learn the lessons and just move on……........................................................... &
Let HIM take over the game from here............................
And always bear in mind..........

Believe in yourself..........
A man went in a search of truth. The first religious man he met was sitting under tree, just out side his own village.
He asked, " i am searching for true master. pl tell me the characteristics.
His description was very simple. He said,........ " you will find him sitting under such and such tree, sitting in such and such posture, his hands making such and such gestures- that is enough to know he is the true master.
The seeker started searching, It is said that thirty years passed while he wandered the whole earth. He visited many places but never met the master as described by the religious person he met first
He met many masters but none were true masters. He return to his own village completely exhausted,.
As he was returning he was surprised, he could not believe it, that old man was seated under the same tree, and how he could see that this was the very person that the old man had spoken of "...... he will be sitting under such and such tree ....." and his posture was exactly as he had described. "It was the same posture he was sitting in thirty years ago-
was i blind ?That exact expression on his face, The exact gestures.
He fell at his feet saying......................
" why didn't you tell me in that first place ?
why did you misdirect me for these thirty years ?
why didn't you tell me that you are the true master ?"
The old man said,I told you, but you were not ready to listen.
You were not ready to come home without wandering away, you had to knock on the doors of a thousand houses to come to your own home, only then could you return, I said every thing- beneath such and such tree.
I was describing this very tree, the posture I was sitting in, but you were too fast, you couldn't hear correctly, you were in a hurry.you were going some where to search. searching was very important for you. The Truth was not so important.
" But you have come! I was feeling tired, sitting continuously in this posture for you. you were wandering for thirty years, but think of me sitting under this tree , I know some day you would come, but what if i had already passed away ? I waited for you, you have come , you had to wander for thirty years, but that's your own faults, the master was already here.
" It happens many times in our life that we cannot see what is near & inside us, and what attract us, is the distant drum which sound sweeter, we are pulled by distant dreams.
Try to believe in yourself and try to see inside, you will not believe you will find a Master within you.........................And Remember...............
"There is nothing you cannot be,
There is nothing you cannot do,
And there is nothing you cannot achieve,
All you have to have is "BELIEVE IN YOU."

Changing your thinking.................
Changing your thinking..........................
If your thoughts could cause things to instantly happen, what kind of thoughts would you think? If your values and priorities were to be continually manifested in the world around you, what values and priorities would you choose?
The fact is, your thoughts, your values, and your priorities most certainly have a major influence on the quality of your world and your life. Though you cannot instantly make something appear just by thinking about it, the things that do end up appearing in your life often do so as a result of your thoughts.
Your thoughts directly control your actions, and your actions have a major impact on the reality of your life. When you feed your moments with positive, loving, thankful thoughts, your life and your world cannot help but benefit.
The quickest way to improve your situation is to improve the way you think about it. Though your thoughts will not immediately change anything outside of you, they can immediately change your outlook.
And by adopting an affirmative, creative, grateful outlook on life, you receive a double benefit. Your actions become more focused on creating value and at the same time, they become more effective.
Changing your thinking can indeed change your world. So choose the best thoughts that you can possibly imagine.
By Changing Your Thinking; You change your beliefs;
When you change your beliefs, You change your expectations;
When you change your expectations, You change your attitude;
When you change your attitude, You change your behavior;
When you change your behavior, You change your performance;
When you change your performance; You Change Your Life!.....................................................................
"I MEAN ONLY CHANGE..................NOT EXCHANGE.
If your thoughts could cause things to instantly happen, what kind of thoughts would you think? If your values and priorities were to be continually manifested in the world around you, what values and priorities would you choose?
The fact is, your thoughts, your values, and your priorities most certainly have a major influence on the quality of your world and your life. Though you cannot instantly make something appear just by thinking about it, the things that do end up appearing in your life often do so as a result of your thoughts.

No problem life......................
Eskimo's.....Life....... no problem.Life...... A short story.......
Eskimos who live in poles always lead a life of happiness and they never say there is a problem in their life.feeling jealous of this, the people living in nearby towns pledged to make an eskimo say he has a problem.
They kidnapped an eskimo and tied his eyes with black cloth and took him to a steep hill and at the peak removed the black cloth. When the eskimo tried to find out where he was standing he could find a deep valley in front of him and found himself at the tip of the deadly point. People behind him then asked him if he is now in a problem but the eskimo said no. They then told him if he is prepared to accept there is a problem they will release him failing which they will push him into the deep valley and he had no chance of survival.
The eskimo again replied that he had no problem . When they asked how he could say this when his life is at danger, the eskimo replied .............."if Iam pushed into the valley Iam going to die and I will have no problem. If you change your decision and leave me free , I will be back to my place and I will have no problem"............
The villagers found the reality of life and let him go
wish and lead an Eskimo life which means a no problem life.

Why do some people get all luck.........
Why do some people get all the luck while others never get the breaks they deserve?
A psychologist says he has discovered the answer...........Pl Read to Know........
Ten years ago, I set out to examine luck. I wanted to know why some people are always in the right place at the right time, while others consistently experience ill fortune. I placed advertisements in national newspapers asking for people who felt consistently lucky or unlucky to contact me.
Hundreds of extraordinary men and women volunteered for my research and over the years, I have interviewed them, monitored their lives and had them take part in experiments.
The results reveal that although these people have almost no insight into the causes of their luck, their thoughts and behaviour are responsible for much of their good and bad fortune. Take the case of seemingly chance opportunities. Lucky people consistently encounter such opportunities, whereas unlucky people do not.
I carried out a simple experiment to discover whether this was due to differences in their ability to spot such opportunities. I gave both lucky and unlucky people a newspaper, and asked them to look through it and tell me how many photographs were inside. I had secretly placed a large message halfway through the newspaper saying: "Tell the experimenter you have seen this and win $50."
This message took up half of the page and was written in type that was more than two inches high. It was staring everyone straight in the face, but the unlucky people tended to miss it and the lucky people tended to spot it.
Unlucky people are generally more tense than lucky people, and this anxiety disrupts their ability to notice the unexpected.As a result, they miss opportunities because they are too focused on looking for something else. They go to parties' intent on finding their perfect partner and so miss opportunities to make good friends. They look through newspapers determined to find certain types of job advertisements and miss other types of jobs.
Lucky people are more relaxed and open, and therefore see what is there rather than just what they are looking for. My research eventually revealed that lucky people generate good fortune via four principles.
1.They are skilled at creating and noticing chance opportunities.
2.Make lucky decisions by listening to their intuition.
3.Create self-fulfilling prophesies via positive expectations .
4.Adopt a resilient attitude that transforms bad luck into good.
Towards the end of the work, I wondered whether these principles could be used to create good luck. I asked a group of volunteers to spend a month carrying out exercises designed to help them think and behave like a lucky person.
Dramatic results! These exercises helped them spot chance opportunities, listen to their intuition, expect to be lucky, and be more resilient to bad luck. One month later, the volunteers returned and described what had happened. The results were dramatic: 80% of people were now happier, more satisfied with their lives and, perhaps most important of all, luckier.
The lucky people had become even luckier and the unlucky had become lucky.
Finally, I had found the elusive "luck factor".
Here are Professor Wiseman's four top tips for becoming lucky:
1) Listen to your gut instincts - they are normally right.
2) Be open to new experiences and breaking your normal routine.
3) Spend a few moments each day remembering things that went well.
4) Visualize yourself being lucky before an important meeting or telephone call.

Reasons for sleeping and waking up early..........
Evening at 9 – 11 pm: Is the time for eliminating unnecessary/toxic chemicals (detoxification) from the antibody system (lymph nodes). This time duration should be spent by relaxing or listening to music. If during this time a house wife is still in an unrelaxed state such as washing the dishes or monitoring children doing their homework, this will have a negative impact on health.
Evening at 11pm – 1 am: Is the detoxification process in the liver, and ideally should be done in a deep sleep state.
Early morning 1 – 3 am: Detoxification process in the gall, also ideally done in a deep sleep state.
Early morning 3 – 5 am: Detoxification in the lungs. Therefore there will sometimes be a severe cough for cough sufferers during this time. Since the detoxification process had reached the respiratory tract, there is no need to take cough medicine so as not to interfere with toxin removal process.
Morning 5 – 7 am: Detoxification in the colon, you should empty your bowel.
Morning 7 – 9 am: Absorption of nutrients in the small intestine, you should be having breakfast at this time. Breakfast should be earlier, before 6:30 am, for those who are sick. Breakfast before 7:30 am is very beneficial to those wanting to stay fit. Those who always skip breakfast, they should change their habits, and it is still better to eat breakfast late until 9 – 10 am rather than no meal at all.
Sleeping so late and waking up too late will disrupt the process of removing unnecessary chemicals. Aside from that, midnight to 4:00 am is the time when the bone marrow produces blood. Therefore, have a good sleep and don't sleep late.

Live for to-day............
LIVE FOR NOW, TODAY................
There are two days in every week that we should not worry about,
Two days that should be kept free from fear and apprehension.
One is YESTERDAY, with its mistakes and cares, its faults and blunders, its aches and pains.
YESTERDAY has passed forever beyond our control.All the power in the world cannot bring back YESTERDAY.We cannot undo a single act we performed.Nor can we erase a single word we've said - YESTERDAY is gone!
The other day we shouldn't worry about is TOMORROW, with its impossible adversaries, its burden, its hopeful promise and poor performance.
TOMORROW is beyond our control.TOMORROW'S sun will rise either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds - but it will rise.And until it does, we have no stake in TOMORROW, for it is yet unborn.
This leaves only one day - TODAY.Any person can fight the battles of just one day.It is only when we add the burdens of, YESTERDAY and TOMORROW that we break down.
It is not the experience of TODAY that drives people mad, it is the remorse of bitterness for something, which happened YESTERDAY, and the dread of what TOMORROW may bring...................................
Let us, therefore, LIVE ONE DAY AT A TIME! and that day is "TODAY"
