A Meaningful Life is not being rich

A Meaningful Life is not being rich, being
popular, being highly educated or
being perfect.

It Is about being real, being humble,
being strong and being able to share
ourselves and touch the lives of others.

It is only then that we could have a
full, happy and contented life :) 

Beautiful rainy day !

It's been raining here since last night .When the rain comes down to the earth, the smell of wet soil makes us to get nostalgic.

Have a nice Rainy Sunday :)

 

 Rain is grace; rain is the sky condescending to the earth; without rain, there would be no life.
~John Updike

We are all inventors.......

We are all inventors, each sailing out on a voyage of discovery, guided each by a private chart, of which there is no duplicate. The world is all gates, all opportunities.

~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Bagavad gita quotes

"Man is made by his belief. As he believes, so he is"

"Neither in this world nor elsewhere is there any happiness in store for him who always doubts."

"The mind is restless and difficult to restrain, but it is subdued by practice."

"A person on the spiritual path should try to be non-envious, friendly and compassionate towards all living entities; he should be non-possessive, free from false ego, same in happiness and distress, and forgiving towards all "

"Those who eat too much or eat too little, who sleep too much or sleep too little, will not succeed in meditation. But those who are temperate in eating and sleeping, work and recreation, will come to the end of sorrow through meditation."

"The soul who meditates on the Self is content to serve the Self and rests satisfied within the Self; there remains nothing more for him to accomplish."

"Better indeed is knowledge than mechanical practice. Better than knowledge is meditation. But better still is surrender of attachment to results, because there follows immediate peace."

"When meditation is mastered, the mind is unwavering like the flame of a lamp in a windless place."

"Fear not what is not real, never was and never will be. What is real, always was and cannot be destroyed."

                                                 "Hari Om"

Happy Sunday !

Sunday is the golden clasp that binds together the volume of the week

-Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Enjoy your Sunday :)

Hellen Keller Quotes

• The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart.

• We can do anything we want to if we stick to it long enough. Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.

• As selfishness and complaint pervert the mind, so love with its joy clears and sharpens the vision.

• Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold.

• Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence, and I learn, whatever state I may be in, therein to be content.

• I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do something that I can do.

• I seldom think about my limitations, and they never make me sad. Perhaps there is just a touch of yearning at times; but it is vague, like a breeze among flowers.

• All the world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming.

• Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.

• Instead of comparing our lot with that of those who are more fortunate than we are, we should compare it with the lot of the great majority of our fellow men. It then appears that we are among the privileged. 

• It is a terrible thing to see and have no vision.

• It is hard to interest those who have everything in those who have nothing.

• Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood.

• Love is like a beautiful flower which I may not touch, but whose fragrance makes the garden a place of delight just the same.

• Never bend your head. Always hold it high. Look the world straight in the eye.

• No one has a right to consume happiness without producing it.

• Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.

• The marvelous richness of human experience would lose something of rewarding joy if there were no limitations to overcome. The hilltop hour would not be half so wonderful if there were no dark valleys to traverse.

• Unless we form the habit of going to the Bible in bright moments as well as in trouble, we cannot fully respond to its consolations because we lack equilibrium between light and darkness.

• What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us.

• Your success and happiness lies in you. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties.
