src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8119/2962/320/my%20love%20sai1.1.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Am a devotee of Saibaba and i used to go to bhajan whenever i have time.Particularly every sunday,bhajan will be carried out by youths from that center.I never miss that bhajan on sunday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last sunday since i went a bit late,the hall was tightly packed with devotees and i somehow managed to sit at the last row.Infront of me a lady.......i think she maybe around 50 was sitting.As the bhajan was proceeding,a kid(around 4 or 5 years) was stubborn to get something out of her mom's purse.Suddenly child started crying and she fell on that old lady's arms.That old lady turned back and stared at the child,then lady continued to sing bhajans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once again the child cried and her hand slightly touched the lady's arms.Everyone around the child tried to calm down her and made her laugh.This lady turned back and shouted at the child's mom like hell.She roared as though someone has stolen her necklace.she shouted "Dont come to bhajans taking all tehse kids with you.....see this kid is crying and hitting me with her hands,jus go and sit in some other place.....dont irritate me any more"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was much disgusted on the lady's behaviour.She being a 50 year old lady doesn't even have the patience for what a 5 year old child did........i dont understand for what these people are attending bhajan to promote themselves spiritually.They dont have patience or even love towards other human beings.we cannot think that by merely offering worship in a temple, we have earned the grace of God. If we worship God,but fail to show love toward people around us then whats the use of all these prayers and spiritual practices like bhajans,meditation etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are many books of Saibaba which tells, "&lt;strong&gt;Do not delude yourselves that by merely offering worship in a temple, you have earned the grace of God&lt;/strong&gt;. If you worship God, but harass the people around you, will you earn the Divine grace? Your prayers earn a plus for you in your spiritual balance sheet. By causing harm to people you earn a minus. The result of this plus and minus is zero."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dont these people know about the teachings of Baba.I dont know for what stupidity are these people calling themselves to be followers of  &lt;strong&gt;HOLY MAN SAIBABA&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

two where there was but one. The first one did not stop emitting light when the second one was lit. You can light a million lamps from one; yet it will not suffer a jot! Love too is like this. Share it with a million, it will still be as intense as before. Light spreads; it mingles with the light from other sources, it has no boundaries, no prejudices, no favourites. Deepavali is intended to teach you this lesson of light and love - give up constrictions of mine and thine, caste and creed, in one limitless flow of love. Expansion is the essence of Love. Love is God. Live in Love. That is the culmination of all Sadhana (spiritual exercises).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;- BABA&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1'

old, and who is worshipped as the very first deity, before regularly beginning any ceremony or samskar, any yaga of yajna, any vow or fast or pilgrimage. He is the Lord of the ganas or divine forces, inside and outside the human body; He is the Lord, who masters and overwhelms vighna or obstacle, however imminent or eminent. This is the natural effect of the fact that Ganapathi is the God of Intelligence, vidya or buddhi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is the &lt;strong&gt;inner significance&lt;/strong&gt; of worshipping the &lt;strong&gt;elephant-faced deity&lt;/strong&gt; Ganesha? The elephant is a symbol of might and magnitude. The elephant's foot is larger than that of any other animal. The elephant can make its way through the densest jungle. In this way, it signifies the quality of a leader who shows the way for others. The elephant is also known for its faithfulness and gratitude. These are the lessons man should learn from the elephant. &lt;strong&gt;Intelligence without gratitude is valueless&lt;/strong&gt;. Every man should be grateful to those who have helped him.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28032594-115660026970072905?l=bharathispeaks.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bharathispeaks.blogspot.com/feeds/115660026970072905/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28032594&amp;postID=115660026970072905&amp;isPopup=true' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28032594/posts/default/115660026970072905'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28032594/posts/default/115660026970072905'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bharathispeaks.blogspot.com/2006/08/will-be-back-after-two-weeks-hello.html' title='WILL BE BACK AFTER TWO WEEKS'/><author><name>Bharathi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16361431867768765921</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28032594.post-115570558328973603</id><published>2006-08-16T10:43:00.000+05:30</published><updated>2006-08-16T11:00:38.780+05:30</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Hello Friends,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HAPPY KRISHNA JANMAASHTAMI&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Krishna&lt;/strong&gt; is one of my favourite Deity.....Celebrating the day Krishna was born.Over 5000 years ago,Lord krishna advented Himself in Mathura,India.One of the most venerated incarnations in the &lt;strong&gt;Hindu Dharma&lt;/strong&gt;.People usally spend the day immersed in Shri Krishna's glory by reading, reciting and singing his divine leela.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Bhagavad-gita is the famous philosophical discourse that took place between Lord Krishna and the warrior Arjuna, just before the onset of the great Bharata War.Lord Krishna said to Arjuna,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;yada yada hi dharmasya,glanirbhavati Bharatah,&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Abhiyutthanam dharmasya,tadatmanam srijamyaham!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Paritranaya sadhunam, vinashaya cha dushkritam,&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dharmasamsthapanarthaya,sambhabami yuge yuge!!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lord Krishna promises:" Whenever and wherever there is decline of dharma (righteousness) and adharma on the rise (unrighteousness),I manifest Myself in visible form.

ms;font-size:130%;color:#006600;"&gt;It was a great disappoinment for me on hearing that Kamal Hassan's one of the most talked movie before its arrival in theaters is not going to hit the screen in less than six months.At first it was all set to release in April for Tamil New year as a feast for Kamal Fans.Then it was postponed for 2 weeks.Another postponment was made till july 1 st or 2 nd week.Now some say its gonna be released only &lt;em&gt;NEXT YEAR&lt;/em&gt;.Our gang of friends had plans of watching the movie "First Day First Show".Alas,one of my neighbour told me that its release was postponed **&lt;strong&gt;2007&lt;/strong&gt;**&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;color:#006600;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;color:#006600;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That was really heart breaking news for us.I consider those who have'nt yet heard Vettaiadu Vilaiadu songs to be sinners,such was the brilliance of Harris Jayaraj.He has almost arrested the hearts of lovers through the "&lt;em&gt;Partha Mudhal Naalae&lt;/em&gt;" and "&lt;em&gt;Manjal Veyil&lt;/em&gt;" tune.For those who love to dance for Hip Hops...You have "&lt;em&gt;Neruppe&lt;/em&gt;" and "Karka Karka".For those who wanna relax after an unbearable torture of their boss or hectic work,you have "Uyirile".....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;color:#006600;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;color:#006600;"&gt;Jyothika is again paring with Kamal after the movie "Thenali" which can be pointed as one of the topmost hits in his comedy slot.Debutant Kamalini Mukherjee looks homely to the core.Am sure she would have made the atmost attempts in the movie to prove herself as a prodigy.....and procure quite number of fans.Namba Aalu Prakash Raj irukuraru pa.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It features Lev Gorn,a martial art Specialist.Its his first Indian film.I heard many scenes were taken in the busy streets of Newyork with great difficulty.So it has achieved greater expectations in the minds of people.Manickam,Gautham and the whole team would have instrumented their skills to make the film a success.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Heard that Kamal has problems with film distrtibuters,he hasn't thrown enough money for distributers.Atleast he can give them remaining money when it hits top in the block buster by signing in some agreement with distributers.Distributers and Theatre owners should also keep some faith,they often forget he is "&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;PADMASHRI KAMAL HASSAN&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;",the film will surely make itself to the top.But they are giving way to films lke Aa ha,New(S.J.Surya movies),Kalabha Kadhalan....just for the simple reason that they are &lt;strong&gt;Matter Padam&lt;/strong&gt;(with all kattipidi..and...nachunu mutham kodu scenes,Adult dialogues ) and will make a fare gross.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;color:#006600;"&gt;i dont argue that Kamal films dont contain Matter Scenes....but &lt;strong&gt;equally they talk about society&lt;/strong&gt;,day to day problems and many real happenings.Hope you all will remember "Vvasool Raja MBBS"-situations in hospitals and a cancer person who is counting his days needs all is LOVE ,"Thenali"-Ha..ha..ha.no need of explanations,the list goes Ooonnnnnn.When he is such a noble person,why distrubuters dont rely on him?so it seems asthough the " DOORS FOR TALENT " have shut down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HHmmmm......It will all do well only if the film gets released within few weeks.&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ILLENA ORU VARAM MUNNADI PANNA KANJI POONA AAYA KADAI BAROTA MADHIRI IRUKKUM&lt;/strong&gt;"&lt;/em&gt; ( like barota made a week back in Kaiyendhi Bhavan,not crispy or hot).I pray Thy God that a situation like " it should not compete with the movie God Father,the Ajith starrer"( un padam mudhal la release ah,illa ennodatha??!!!!!???)Coz i have reserved 100 tickets of God Father as a treat for friends on my 60th Birthday in Sathyam.Do you

Even after two thousand and five hundred years the warrior prince-turned-ascetic remains a tremendous source of inspiration not only for the 350 million Buddhists spread across the globe but also for scores of other individuals seeking lasting peace and joy in life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why is he so charismatic? Because he once and for all solved the eternal riddle of man – “How can I be Happy?” And how did he do it? Through self-effort, inner strength and strong conviction. His life is an amazing saga of the triumph of the spirit over the senses and he was so human (living a married princely life) just before he left his wife and little son Rahul. It is this ordinary-to-super-human facet of His life which makes every man think, “Yes, it could be possible for me too.” The Buddha practised what he learnt and taught what he practised. In perfect harmony with his innerself as well as with society, he became just the right conduit for divine love and wisdom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Desires, the Buddha said, are the root cause of all suffering. As he gave up all desires, Buddha became an epitome of total renunciation. There was nothing in him except love. He considered love as his very life-breath.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Such was his love for mankind that even after attaining Parinirvana (complete Nirvana or Salvation) under the bodhi tree, the Buddha chose to live in the mortal frame for another four and half decades just to share the ‘greatest wealth’ he had discovered and aid fellow human beings to come out of pain and suffering and like him be in everlasting bliss and peace.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Buddha lived till the ripe age of eighty, traveling in the Gangetic plain of Northeastern India touching the hearts of thousands. From Kings and nobles to street outcast sweepers and servants, all found comfort and solace in his soothing words and loving message and the transformation in them was instantaneous. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28032594-115130042871824146?l=bharathispeaks.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bharathispeaks.blogspot.com/feeds/115130042871824146/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28032594&amp;postID=115130042871824146&amp;isPopup=true' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28032594/posts/default/115130042871824146'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28032594/posts/default/115130042871824146'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bharathispeaks.blogspot.com/2006/06/fascinating-buddha-what-powerful.html' title=''/><author><name>Bharathi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16361431867768765921</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28032594.post-115061288586697534</id><published>2006-06-18T12:05:00.000+05:30</published><updated>2006-06-18T12:11:25.876+05:30</updated><title type='text'>ramya's kitchen</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#006600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;  &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#006600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;RAMYA'S  KITCHEN&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8119/2962/1600/food.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8119/2962/320/food.0.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;color:#006600;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;color:#006600;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;color:#006600;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Yesterday Shweta and myself had plans to go ramya's house to watch the movie Rang De Basanti.I went to ramya's house around 12 p.m.I sat near T.V and tuned channels to hear any new music.....but i heard music that was even more gud and rockin from the kitchen.I want inside kitchen to see what was happening there.....Hmmm...ramya was cooking.Then i realised that she was cooking for us.Ya,then i remembered that we also had plan to have lunch at ramya's house.You may ask why should i take such risks when ramya's mom was absent(she is presently in USA).Afterall life is boring without risks and challenges.But i am in safer side since i had two of my family doctors phone numbers in my purse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;color:#006600;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;color:#006600;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;color:#006600;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;I came to hall and switched off the T.V. since i heard even better music from kitchen, she was kindyfying the koottu and rasam.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;color:#006600;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;" TING...

For, man is endowed with a discriminating intelligence, the power to reason out the best among alternative courses of action. The tongue that does not chant the name of God, the hand that knows no charity, the years of life that know no peace of mind, talents that do not find fulfillment, a life that has not garnered wisdom, a temple where there is no atmosphere of reverence, speech that does not communicate knowledge - all these are of no worth.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;color:#006600;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;color:#006600;"&gt;            A 'Manishi' (ordinary man) gets transformed into a 'Maharishi' by engaging in selfless service. Truly speaking, the merit that can be obtained from service cannot be acquired even by the practice of rigourous austerities. Service brings human beings closer to each other and promotes affection and friendship. Without this feeling of friendship and love towards one's fellowmen, one cannot attain intimacy with the Lord. Install in your heart the feeling that the service you render to your fellowmen is service to God.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;        &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28032594-114947870182953962?l=bharathispeaks.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bharathispeaks.blogspot.com/feeds/114947870182953962/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28032594&amp;postID=114947870182953962&amp;isPopup=true' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28032594/posts/default/114947870182953962'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28032594/posts/default/114947870182953962'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bharathispeaks.blogspot.com/2006/06/wonderful-thought-for-day.html' title='A Wonderful Thought For The Day'/><author><name>Bharathi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16361431867768765921</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28032594.post-114943802334432501</id><published>2006-06-04T21:42:00.000+05:30</published><updated>2006-06-04T21:50:23.350+05:30</updated><title type='text'>BIG FLOP</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:180%;color:#006600;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Today i wrote a big post regarding the samayal of ramya.....atlast when i inserted the image my system hanged....no idea why it hapnd so.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:180%;color:#006600;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;

All religions suffer a decline because those who profess them do not practice them in their daily lives. People should practice what they profess.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#006600;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#006600;"&gt;All that is connected with body is temporary and transient. What men should seek is enduring bliss. Happiness is union with God. Buddha prescribed five duties: good vision, good thoughts, listening to good things, good speech, and good actions. These five-fold duties constitute true sadhana (spiritual practice).Man is misusing the talents given to him by the Divine. He is giving free vent to the six cardinal vices like lust, anger, and greed. They are not the gifts of the Divine.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#006600;"&gt;At the core of this universe is the Paramatma (Supreme Self), which lies beyond the comprehension of the mind. Both the cognisable and non-cognisable have emanated from the same One Indivisible Consciousness. Each is full and complete in itself. The Vedas declare, "That is full; this is full. From the full, emerges the full. When the full is taken from the full, the full remains full." So, the Cosmos, the world, the individual - all are embodiments of the Full.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#006600;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#006600;"&gt;The experience of the world is but a projection of our mind and the reflection of our own inner thoughts. As the thought, so the vision. You wear coloured glasses and see everything through those glasses.The colour of glasses you wear determines the colour in which things appear to you. If you wear red glasses, everything will appear red. If you wear green glasses, everything will appear green. Correct your vision; the world will get corrected. Reform yourselves; the world will get reformed. You create the world of your choice.Pure thoughts make the world appear as pure. .If you view things with Prema, with a loving heart, the whole world, the whole creation will appear to you as a reflection of Prema. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#006600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Practise and Preach&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#006600;"&gt;RAMAKRISHNA PARAMAHAMSA was an ideal guru. There is an interesting anecdote to illustrate how he never preached anything he did not practise himself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#006600;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#006600;"&gt;One day, an old lady came to Ramakrishna Paramahamsa with her ten-year- old grandson. She prostrated before him and said, “Master! I have come to seek your advice. This boy is my grandson."He lost his father and mother when he was just a child of five. I have been taking care of him. He is very fond of sweets. He eats so much that his health is deteriorating day by day. The doctors have advised him not to eat sweets but this fellow does not pay any heed to their advice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, he has great respect and admiration for you."So I have come to request you to stop the boy from eating sweets. I am sure, you alone can do this.” Ramakrishna said, “Mother, don’t worry, come with your grandson after one month. In the meanwhile I shall think of a plan to convince the boy that one’s health is very important, more important even than wealth.” The old woman thanked him and took her leave.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Exactly a month later she came back with her grandson. Both of them offered their salutations to the master. Ramakrishna made the boy sit beside him and said, “My dear boy: remember, one’s real wealth is health. Unless you take proper care of your health you will not be able to grow into a strong and healthy young man. You will not be able to do anything great in life if you are weak.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When something that we eat does not suit our constitution, we should give up eating that item. From tomorrow you should not eat sweets. After some time you may eat moderately. You are a nice boy and will listen to me, will you not?” The boy nodded his head and promised that he would not eat sweets.&lt;br /&gt;The old woman sent the boy on some errand just to have a confidential talk with the master. “Master, may I ask you a question?” said the old woman. “Certainly mother,” Ramakrishna replied. “Master, this advice which you have given today to my grandson you could have given last month. Why did you ask me to come again after a month? I don’t understand.”&lt;br /&gt;Ramakrishna replied with an understanding smile, “Mother, I myself eat lots of sweets. How can I advise the boy to do something that I am not doing myself? One has no right to preach anything to others before practising it himself. So I asked for some time. This one month I did not eat sweets. So I have earned the right to advise your grandson.” The old woman marvelled at the righteous conduct of Ramakrishna. She fell at his feet and took leave of him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We should never advise anyone about anything which we ourselves have not put into practice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;All religions suffer a decline because those who profess them do not practice them in their daily lives. People should practice what they profess.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#006600;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#006600;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#006600;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/28032594-114900328737226567?l=bharathispeaks.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bharathispeaks.blogspot.com/feeds/114900328737226567/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=28032594&amp;postID=114900328737226567&amp;isPopup=true' title='9 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28032594/posts/default/114900328737226567'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28032594/posts/default/114900328737226567'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bharathispeaks.blogspot.com/2006/05/call-of-soul-contd.html' title='Call of The Soul .Contd...'/><author><name>Bharathi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16361431867768765921</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>9</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28032594.post-114797037847582477</id><published>2006-05-18T22:05:00.000+05:30</published><updated>2006-05-27T08:37:13.963+05:30</updated><title type='text'>CALL OF THE SOUL</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8119/2962/1600/nature.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8119/2962/400/nature.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#006600;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#006600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NATURE REFLECTS GOD'S GLORY&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#006600;"&gt;I am an ardent devotee of Baba....The thirst for spiritual kowledge captured me right from my young age.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#006600;"&gt;My first book on spirituality was "Seeking Divinity",written my Dr.John Hislpo.He spent most of his life seeking spiritual answers to the mistery of human life.The book reveals the truth behind the creation of human beings...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#006600;"&gt;The book enthralled me and there was a remarkable change in my perception of life.I think this was the precious moment that my life started to take a shape.When the book was almost to be read over,i had certain doubts that &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#006600;"&gt;kindled my curiosity towards spirituality...Then i started studying many science and spirituality books.I have decided to share some of those divine messages and techniics with &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;U ALL&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;......they reveal the ways through which life could me made more happier and peaceful.......&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#006600;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#006600;"&gt;Man's actions are related to desires and aversions. They are the cause of his joys and sorrows. All the world's ills arise from the evil thoughts and deeds of men. It is only when man is transformed that society can transform and the world be reformed. Man does not use his sense organs in the right way. He has eyes, but does not see what is good. He has ears, but does not listen to what is good. There is only one way to correct him. He has to be shown the spiritual path and guided to cultivate the virtues of Truth, Love and self-sacrifice. He must be weaned away from selfish pursuits and from arrogance and pride. His mind, which is the real culprit, has to be cleansed of all evil.
