Enlightened Thought : “All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him.” – Gautama Buddha (Sacred Space, Times of India, November 18, 2010).

Ego and patience

"Ego and patience : Drop the 'I' and 'mine' and live in the 'we'.  The universe is one.  Without the ego we wxperience a beautiful connectedness with every thing else in the great chain of being : with the birds, stars, sky and trees. … It is connectedness that is known known as nirvana. …. We have to trust the universe with its own ways of opening and closing windows of opportunity and doors to happiness and prosperity. We have to learn to be patient.  Patience is the predicated on the faith that God knows better than we ever can hope to know what is good for us." – Swami SukhabodhanandaSource : Roar your way to Excellence. – Speaking Tree, Times of India.-November 12, 2010.

The option is yours......

"The option is yours: Cultivate a generous disposition - forgive, forget and move on in life.  Life will never stagnate.

Log on to spirituality

"Log on to spirituality : As one grows spiritually one gains the sensitivity to see Divinity even in ordinary manifestations, like a flower or leaf.  At the highest level one is rroted in Brahmn, immersed in the contemplation of Brahmn, and does not need any manifestation to remind oneself of the Divine"-Jaya Row(Speaking Tree, Times of India, Nov 11, 2010).   "Full of Joy : He it is , the innermost one, who awakens my being with his deep hidden touches.  He it is who puts his enchantment upon these eyes and joyfully plays on the chords of my heart in varied cadence of pleasure and pain"-Rabindranath Tagore" (Sacred Space, Times of India, Nov 11, 2010).

present , past and future

Whenever I happen to read great thoughts of great thinkers/leaders … I quite often chance upon these golden words : "be in present…present is the most obvious form of time…take care of the present and you can take care of the past and the future both ……" I hope and wish I trust these words … but again and again questions arise…… and often I keep saying to myself….some times who so ever is infront of me …"past and future are as obvious and clear as that of present …. And they are facts and not fiction… after all the present and future depart and separate by less than 1 billionth of a second…. Am I right. Can we really separate the past, present and the future is my big question".

Pure consciousness

Pure consciousness "Self is sakshi, pure witness.  However, if I am not aware of it, I cannot be rich and blissful.  To be truly happy the awakening of the self is required.  This knowledge of the self gives you the understanding that you are pure consciousness - the witness.  It is only through Brahm gyan, pure knowledge, that you come to know about your own true self."  -- Anandmurti Gurumaa Librarianship is a noble profession                                                                                                                 http://indialibrarian-intl.blogspot.com/ lotus5673@yahoo.co.in 1816gbgv

How to be a good librarian?

How to be a good Librarian Librarians are on the cutting edge of information technology and are always involved in something new and exciting. Graduate from high school. Learn about librarianship from the American Library Association website. Also check out the federal government's Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Handbook Online. Investigate what library type you would like to specialize in. Choose your college major accordingly. Graduate from college with a bachelor's degree in just about anything. Everything you learn is useful. Choose a graduate school with a school of library and information science. The American Library Association website keeps a list. There are about fifty schools in the country. Some schools offer online courses. Graduate with an "MLS", Master of Library Science or similar degree title. Do an internship or work part-time in a library while you're in library school so you can build up your resumé and learn more about different types of libraries. Apply for a job and be glad you choose a fascinating, never a dull moment career with a high job satisfaction rate. Learn management skills. A librarian is a manager first and foremost. You will have to manage people, budgets, leaking roofs, power hungry administrators and problem patrons. There is no "man behind the curtain" to run things, you're it. Be prepared for people who want to stamp you with the "Marion the Librarian", dull and boring stereotype. These are usually people who aren't nice people to begin with and worse yet, don't read very often. Continue to be polite and professional, but open and friendly. This will help them get beyond the stereotype. Try to prove them wrong as much as possible. Show that as a librarian you can be fun and outgoing.

The Librarian of Today

"The librarian of today, and it will be true still more of the librarians of tomorrow, are not fiery dragons interposed between the people and the books. They are useful public servants, who manage libraries in the interest of the public . . . Many still think that a great reader, or a writer of books, will make an excellent librarian. This is pure fallacy."  William Osler (Canadian Physician, 1849-1919)   Librarianship is a noble profession                                                                                                                 http://indialibrarian-intl.blogspot.com/ lotus5673@yahoo.co.in 1816gbgv
