Guard your words and work towards perfection ......

Guard your words   We should always be soft spoken.  Sweet speech has the ability to attract one and all.  On the contrary, vitriolic speech keeps people away.  That is why one should always be soft spoken so that it enhances brotherhood and affection. – Yajureda (Sacred Space : Times of India, December 2, 2010)   Towards perfection   Don't hesitate to ask or take help.  You are what you are which is a happy person preserving your spirit and that is the only thing which will decide your success in life. … love and essence of your being which is always unique and special and in pursuit of perfection. .. Where you feel you have to improve, work at it.  But where society feels you have not made the mark, make an indelible one with your vain spirit, even it it takes a little longer to do so. – Sudhamahi Reghunathan ( The Speaking Tree, Times of India, December 2, 2010) Librarianship is a noble profession                                                                                                                 http://indialibrarian-intl.blogspot.com/ lotus5673@yahoo.co.in 1816gbgv

Life is a reward .....

Say Goodbye With Grace "Don't make things small and big, trivial and important.  Every thing is important. …. That there is nothing which is great or small ; it all depends on you,  what you make of it.  Start with meditation, and things will grow in you – silence, serenity, blissfulness, sensitivity.  And whatever comes out of meditation, try to bring it out in life.  Share it, because everything shared grows fast. …. Life is a reward and it is given only to those who have earned it, who deserve it.  It will be against existence if you don't beautify it,  if you leave it just as you have found it.  So leave it a little happier, a little more beautiful, a little more fragrant."

Work , play and meditation

Work and Play : "The person who is a master in the art of living makes little distinction between their work and their play, their labour and their leisure,  their mind and their body,  their education and their recreation, their love and their religion.  They hardly know which is which.  They simply pursue their vision of excellence and grace in whatever they do, leaving others to decide whether they are working or playing.  To them, they are always doing both." – Zen Buddhism. (Source : Sacred Space ; Times of India, November 30, 2010). Meditation : "Many a time seekers try to meditate on their won or take guidance3 from holy books or refer to the meditation techniques taught by great masters in their times., but are absolutely oblivious of the intricacies involved.  But because of lack of guidance when a leap beyond mind seems light years away,  they just despair.  In reality there is no need to despair but to learn meditation from a living enlightened master. …. Luminous presence of an enlightened master creates a highly charged field of consciousness paving the way for seekers to travel far more easily and faster.  Retreat with the master revitalizes and nourishes the soul, heals the wounds of mind,  afflicted for ages … dissolving into the ocean of pure bliss!" – Anandmurti Gurumaa (The speaking tree ; Times of India; Nov 30, 2010).

concentration upon that which is dearest to the heart........!!!!!!!!!!

INVOCATION OF PEACE   "Peace can be reached through meditation on the knowledge which dreams give.  Peace can also be reached through concentration upon that which is dearest to the heart". – Patanjali "We can never obtain peace in the world if we neglect the inner world and don't make peace with ourselves.  World peace must develop out of inner peace." – The Dalai Lama XIV Librarianship is a noble profession                                                             http://indialibrarian-intl.blogspot.com lotus5673@yahoo.co.in 1816gbgv Librarianship is a noble profession                                                                                                                 http://indialibrarian-intl.blogspot.com/ lotus5673@yahoo.co.in 1816gbgv

Real detachment ...

Real detachment : "The man who is pure of heart is bound to fulfil himself in whatever way he is taught.  A worldly man seeks all his life., but is still bewildered.  Detached from the senses, you are free.  Attached you are bound.  When this is understood, you may live as you please"- Astavakra Gita 15:1-2 Librarianship is a noble profession                                                                                                                 http://indialibrarian-intl.blogspot.com/ lotus5673@yahoo.co.in 1816gbgv
