Greatness lies in the Simplicity

By
Sooner or Later a man who wins is who thinks he can.
No Defeat if final until you stop Trying!
You only control your action and not the results. So be not motivated by results, nor be attached to inaction.

See how simple and great are the above lines. It is true that Greatness lies in the Simplicity. To become great we shall not look at the great achievements or results attained by the Great people but shall look at the path they followed to become Great.
So if we make up our mind to do good to this world by our words and deeds, then by consistently following this good path, sure on one day we would become Great.

Realisation of the Truth or God.

By
In the Vedic and Upanishadic tradition, Saksatkara, the direct realisation of Truth or God, is not described as an external vision but as an inner awakening of one's true Self (Atman) — a state in which the seeker directly experiences Reality without doubt. Saksatkara comes through inner purification, meditation and grace, not mere study. According to Vedic wisdom, saksatkara is direct experience, not belief.  It is a permanent inner transformation, not a passing vision, and it brings deep peace, fearlessness, detachment, and universal love. In other words, it is experiencing your true Self as one with Brahman, not imagination, not emotion, but clear inner seeing.  Brihadaranyaka Upanishad teaches that Brahman cannot be limited.  Anything we can see, think, or describe is limited. But Brahman is infinite and beyond all qualities.  So, the sages say 'not the body, not the mind, not the senses and not even thoughts. "Neti, Neti" removes all wrong identifications. ...

Food has major role in human existence. It influences not just our physical health, but also our consciousness. There is a saying "You are what you eat". So we must chose  the food which can cure both physical and mental ailments and also  help us in making spiritual advancement in our lives. Lord Srikrishna in Bhagavat Githa, said that food determines the gunas (satvic, rajasic and thamasic) of  human beings in Chapter 17 verses 8 to 10. Here is the bri ef description about them: Satvic foods are those that lead to clarity of mind and physical health. These foods are very dear to those of goodness. They promote longevity, virtues, health, strength, happiness, joy etc., Fruits, vegetables, milk, milk products, rice, wheat, honey, juices etc., come under this category. Rajasic foods are those that have a stimulating effect on the mind and body. Those foods lead to aggressiveness and irritability. They are very bitter, sour, salty, hot, pungent ...

What is Gratitude in human values?

By
Gratitude, thankfulness, or gratefulness is a feeling of appreciation (or similar positive response) by a recipient of another's kindness.  We express gratitude when someone shows kindness, provides help, gives a gift, or offers encouragement. Expressing thanks is also appropriate for both big and small gestures, as it strengthens relationships and creates positive feelings.  It is beneficial to show gratitude whenever you genuinely feel it, as this makes interactions more meaningful and strengthens your connection with others. In spirituality, gratitude shifts towards a deeper recognition of life's interconnectedness, such as meditating on the gift of breath, the universe's order, or inner peace as expressions of divine presence. Practices include affirmations such as "I am grateful for this moment" during breathwork or reflecting on personal growth as unseen blessings, aligning with present-moment awareness from traditions like Hindu philosophy. This form trans...

Role of Friends in Life.

By
The meaning and nature of friendship changes with the stages of life.  In real life, friendship does not remain the same throughout life. As a man grows, circumstances, ego, jealousy, misunderstandings, and economic differences slowly test relationships.  Many friends come close for some time and later move away.  This is natural reality of life.  Below is a more realistic view of friendship through the stages of life. 1. Age 4-6: At this age, friends are playmates. A child thinks a friend is someone who shares toys, plays games, and spends time together. Friendship is innocent and temporary.  If a quarrel happens, it is forgotten quickly.  2. Age 7-15: Friends become school companions. Children start forming small groups.  Friendship is based on studying together, playing sports, and common interests. Loyalty begins to develop, but it is still strongly influenced by surroundings.  3. Age 16-30: This is the period of multiple, significant life ...

MASCHARYA(JEALOUSY)

By
Image
Mascharya is a feeling of jealousy when someone else gets ahead of us or possesses things of value that we don't have. It is a state of intolerance born by seeing good qualities in others. It is a strong emotion that can break any strong relationship. It is a feeling of unhappiness and anger because someone has something which you cannot possess or someone that you want.  It is all about not accepting good qualities in others and is one of the six bad vices.  Mascharya (jealousy) is a form of hatred built upon insecurity and is classified as a mental disease. God does not like people having jealousy in their minds.  Arjuna became dearer to Lord Srikrishna, as the former is devoid of Mascharya(jealousy). In Bhagavat Gjitha  Chapter 9 Verse 1, Lord Srikrishna says to Arjuna as follows: idam tu te guhyatamam pravakshyamy anasuyave Jnanam vijana sahitam  yat   jnatva  mokshyase shubhat Because you are not jealous I shall now explain ...

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BELIEF AND FAITH.

By
Image
Generally, we know that faith is confidence or trust in a person. It is very essential between wife and husband to lead their marital life happily. In the religious view faith and confidence are both required for spiritual growth. If we come to the point of realization of God, it is the real foundation of the entire structure of spirituality. Faith in reality and faith in the right course is meant for realization. It is a lively link between mortal and immortal and is one of the six sympathies of the third sadhana of yoga. Regarding faith , we know the story of bakth Prahlad son of Hiranyakasyap, an evil daitya king. Prahlad is a devoti of Lord Vishnu. Hiranya Kashyap did not like his son to be the bhaktha of his enemy Lord Vishnu. Despite several warnings from his father, Prahlad continues to worship Lord Vishnu.  Then Hiranyakashyap decided to kill Prahlad. He adapted each and every method to kill his son. He even tried to trample his son with elephants also. But Prahl...

Parents' Role in Shaping Children's Behaviour.

By
Good behaviour is the outward expression of an inner order — it reflects a person's character, values, and consciousness. It is not just about manners or external politeness; it is the natural fragrance that arises from a well-cultivated mind and a pure heart. At the human level, good behaviour means living with respect for oneself and others, showing kindness, honesty and self-control in all interactions. In short, good behaviour is living in harmony with dharma, with a mind filled with love and a heart tuned to the higher purpose of life.  It is the bridge between human life and divine life.  In the fast-paced life of today, the meaning of good behaviour often gets blurred by ambition, technology, and competition. Children are quick to learn digital skills but slow to learn emotional sensitivity. The old foundation of respect for parents, teachers, and elders is weakening, not because the young are bad, but because guidance through examples has become rare.  Sri Ra...

Interdependence is a higher value than Independence

By
What a great sentence it is! You will find this sentence, " Interdependence is a higher value than Independence ", in the Stephen R Covey's book, " The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People ". This book is one of those best books you could buy and add to your library. And the Preface itself consists of this great line in the beginning. To summarize the meaning of this line we can say that the whole world would be happy with peace and good human relations spread all over, if every leader from every country understands these principles. Of course these are not the principles founded by Mr. Stephen R Covey but are those which were discovered by him during his research on the past 200 years of the Success literature as a part of his doctoral program. "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" is undoubtedly the best guide for any individual or a manager to perform effectively restoring that Character ethic which was eventually lost in the recent ye...

By

Sahaj Marg is the Natural path of Realization. This is the system followed in the Rama Chandra Mission, Shahjahanpur (UP) India , a mission founded by Mahatma Shri Ram Chandraji Maharaj . On the occasion of Birth Centenary celebrations of Shri Ram Chandraji Maharaj held on 9 th and 10 th February 2000 at Cuddapah centre, the Abhyasi Shri T.V. Srinivasa Rao , Advocate, has elucidated to us, the following, “ Sahaj Marg in a nut shell ” in the words of Shri Rama Chandraji. The Mission : Great men are not accidentally born. They are born when the world needs them most. Such is the usual course of Nature. The present life or gross materialism has led the world to the very verge of decay and ruin. Degradation has almost reached the final stage. Morality is tottering hopelessly. Irreligiousness is gaining ground in almost every mind. Selfishness, prejudice and vanity have become the prominent features of the day. Ungodliness is rampant everywhere. Clouds of ignorance and sin...
