Are we sane?

During a visit to the mental hospital, the visitor asked the Director 'How do you determine whether or not a patient should be admitted to the hospital.' 'Well,' said the Director, 'we fill up a bathtub, and then we give a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him to empty the bathtub.'

'Oh, I understand,' said the visitor. 'A normal person would use the bucket because it's bigger than the spoon or the teacup.'

'No.' said the Director, 'A normal person would pull the drain plug.      
Well.......  Do you want a bed near the window?

Live with harmony and respect for all

I read about this massive explosion in space. The US space agency's Fermi telescope has detected this massive explosion in space which scientists say is the biggest gamma-ray burst ever detected, in a report published Thursday in Science Express. The spectacular blast, which occurred in September in the Carina constellation, produced energies ranging from 3,000 to more than five billion times that of visible light, astrophysicists said. Thank GOD that this huge gamma-ray burst occurred 12.2 billion light years away.

This only made me think how great our GOD is? I want to share this with you all so that once again our view of GOD would be expanded at the end of reading this post. Our GOD is greater than anything we can imagine or perceive. He is a huge massive GOD of grace and mercy,  that is why we are here today. Look upwards towards the sky and awe at the work of HIS hands. GOD created the Milky Way, the home of our Solar System. Our solar system is situated in the outer regions of this galaxy, the center of which is at about 28,000 light years from where you are reading this post.  Light travels 180000km/sec, so if you are traveling at the speed of light it would take you many billion years to get there. There are at least 200 billion other stars their planets, and thousands of clusters and nebulae in this galaxy and it is one of the millions of galaxies that our GOD has made.

Compared to all these sizes we are smaller than dust. But since we look at everything from our perspective and not GOD’s we feel all our situations are too big for anyone to handle. We tend to be too self centered and blow our egos to the sizes of these galaxies. Take a minute to think. Our Star, the sun is 10,000 degree Fahrenheit on the surface. GOD has placed us at the exact distance away from the sun so that we receive the right amount of light and warmth. HE who loves you so much also loves every being around you. So let’s show love and concern for all around us and live with harmony and respect for all.

All can say how many seeds are there in a mango, but can anyone say how many mangoes are there in a seed?

Vanity

Easter bunnies and eggs made of chocolate sits welcoming in a decorated basket on the table on an Easter morning. A child runs up to the table and picks up one of the chocolate eggs and takes his biggest bite. Once he eats the piece of chocolate he finds nothing in the egg. Many a time life is like this. Everything thing seems so hollow and vain. You can have all the money yet have no peace of mind. You can have a hundred people on your address book yet you are lonely inside. Everything you see around feels like vanity. Don’t take this as a statement of pessimism. Every one sooner or later introspective will bring to mind a sense of futility. What do we do in times like these?

Here's an important lesson that I learnt. Past negative happenings that cannot be changed are a definite reality that must be squarely faced. These are the might-have-beens and could-have-beens of our lives. We all tend to embrace fantasizing about possibilities that never happened. This type of mythical thinking is an ego defense to loss or perceived loss. We project our defeats onto unfavorable circumstances, acts of nature, or people who we perceived blocked our way on the road to success.

Looking at the big puddle in your driveway you wish it weren't raining. Yet, no matter how much you wish it were gone, it isn't. A wish is no more than a thought. It has no power to bring about a change in reality unless it is acted upon. And even then there are circumstances in which no wish, desire, dream, or faith can change the situation. However, this doesn't mean you should necessarily stop wishing or hoping. Here a balance is needed: wishing, remains a thought unless it is brought into reality.

Change and accept situations or we're bound for a life of unhappiness and regret. Keep changing, keep flowing like the river. The problem is only with those who become ponds. To be a pond is to commit suicide, because there is no growth anymore, no new spaces, no new experiences, no new skies, just the same old pond becoming muddier. Become a seeker changing from this muddy pond to a flowing river. It does not matter when you reach the ocean, but the beginning is the end.

Think abt it

Use every letter you write, every conversation you have, every meeting you attend, to express your fundamental beliefs and dreams. Affirm to others the vision of the world you want. You are a free, immensely powerful source of life and goodness. Affirm it. Spread it. Radiate it. Think day and night about it and you will see a miracle happen: the greatness of our own life. --Robert Muller

Around the World in One-Two hours

We paid our yearly visit to the Global Village yesterday. We went into the many pavilions set up by the different countries, taking us into the glimpses of the beauty and uniqueness of the heritage of each. In each of these pavilions, one will find the merchandise and food items related to the country. One of the major attractions this year was the Venice like Canal which was worth taking a boat ride. The weather was very pleasant and the people all went around with harmony and joy.
