THOUGHTS TO PONDER

 THOUGHTS TO PONDER

Impure minds rarely find peace even in their dreams

Path of wise

Contentment to defeat greed

Self respect through compassion

Effort to overcome laziness

Determination to silence  doubt

A road map to mastery

A single true friend king or ascetic is sufficient

A single residence whether in forest or city is enough

A single wife beautiful  or plain enough

Contentment is fulfillment in one

Happiness does not lie in multiplicity

Stable entity in every domain of life important. 

Advocates simplicity

Content within, there is wealth at every step

Those with impure minds, rarely find peace even in their dreams

Fickle minded wander after different types of wealth or women

Never satisfied they ruin their life

Water is there every where

 But Swan likes Mana Sarovar  water

True joy lies in purity not abundance

For happiness , friendship with  un greedy   ones

Discussion with wise, progressive benefecial sounds

Companionship of noble and listening to their advise

You are sure to have a fulfilled life

PRAYER FOR HEALING

PRAYER FOR HEALING

My tears with in

My silence within , no words

You Supreme know what’s within me

I have come to you with open heart

Heal me with your divine touch

Let every ache, every pain fade into nothingness

Let my worries melt away

Let your blessings flow through me like a river

Giving me joy and strength for ever

KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM

KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM

Knowledge you build by experience or by study acquisition

Wisdom is its proper application in real world  situation

True wisdom requires discerning knowledge for best application

Reading,  listening ,studying and observing ,the foundation

  For knowledge for  proper desired application 

Sound decisions make wise application

Knowledge of gun is good

But Wisdom should dictate where and when to use 

Often you read news of children in schools attacked

If only wisdom prevails in the user and  he contemplates

What if his or her brother is  among the target of his action

Certainly would forbid his unwise action, relieve misery of parents

 True Knowledge is a lamp that lights another

But never diminishes with its application, never` making it dimmer

Remember only  a life lived for others is a  life worth while

True wisdom guides your knowledge to do good
