Isn’t It Strange

Isn’t It Strange

* Isn’t it strange how a $100 dollar bill seems like such a large amount when you donate it to the temple, but such a small amount when you go shopping?

* Isn’t it strange how endless an hour seems when we are serving God, but how short it is when we watch a Football game or Cricket for 60 minutes?

* Isn’t it strange how 2 hours seem so long when you’re at the temple and how short they seem when you’re watching a good movie?

* Isn’t it strange that you can’t find things to say when you’re praying, but you have no trouble in thinking what to talk about with a friend?

* Isn’t it strange how difficult and boring it is to read one chapter of Bhagwad Gita, but how easy it is to read 100 pages of a popular novel?

* Isn’t it strange how everyone wants front-row-tickets to concerts or games, but they do whatever is possible to sit in the last row in the temple?

* Isn’t it strange how we need to know about an event for the temple 2-3 weeks before the day so we can include it in our agenda, but we can adjust it for other events at the last minute?

* Isn’t it strange how difficult it is to learn a fact about God to share it with others, but how easy it is to learn, understand, extend and repeat gossip?

* Isn’t it strange how we believe everything that Magazines and Newspapers say but we question the words in the holy books like Ramayan?

* Isn’t it strange how everyone wants a place in heaven, but they don’t want to believe, do, or say anything to get there?

* Isn’t it strange how we send jokes in e-mails and they are Fowarded right away, but when we are going to send messages about God, we think about twice before we share them with others?

All That Matters

All That Matters

Don’t assume you’ve lots of time for all you want to do.
Though the future seems to stretch away into the blue...

Maybe you intend to scale those summits far away...,
But all that matters - is the hill you’ve got to climb today.

The Man Who Dares

The Man Who Dares

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled
or where the doer of deeps could have done them better.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena;
whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood;
who errs and comes short again and again…
who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions,
and spends himself in a worthy cause;
who at the least knows in the end the triumph of high achievement;
and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring gently,
so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls
who know neither victory nor defeat.

Start From Now

Start From Now

Don’t wait for someone to help you; You can do everything you want to.
You will be better, but if you start working.

Start to put your dreams, your wishes in to action.
Limit the things you hate and change it bit by bit.

If you continue to do the same things, you will gain the same results.
You must do all what you can to get all what you want.

Start from now. Go ahead.

Focus On Goals

Focus On Goals

Life is full of hills and valleys, some of which would want us to quit along the way.

It is during these times that we need to check our focus and remember that - the focus needs to be on the finish, not the difficulties along the way.

Set your eye on the goals. Do not be worried of the difficulties on your way, keep your focus on your goals.
