choose the path of joy...

There is a path of joy and there is the path of pleasure.
Pondering on them,
the wise (one) chooses the path of joy;
the fool takes the path of pleasure.

~ Katha Upanishad 1:2:1

Atman...

The entire universe is verily Atman , there exists nothing at all other than Atman.[ the enlightened One] sees everything as his own Self as one sees pots , etc as none other than clay.---Adi Shankaracharya

I remember you , my village...

Dr Ram Sharma in Salawa Village near Meerut, UP, India

I REMEMBER YOU ! MY VILLAGE

A POEM BY DR. RAM SHARMA
I still remember you , my village
Two big ponds at its entrance
Mingling of three ways
Like Ganga, Yamuna , Saraswati
Orchards of fragrant mangoes
Cool, serene Ganges Canal
Chirping of birds, dancing of peacocks
Swinging on the boughs of trees
Loving and playing with trees
Going with our bags to school
Through the dusty , muddy ways
Shinning of sun, moon rays
Celeberation of festivals
Singing of girls` group before Holi
Diwali crackers, Holi fervor
I still remember you, my village

Detachment.. the greatest virtue...

I find no other virtue  better than a pure detachment from all things,  because all other virtues have some regard for created things,  but detachment is free from all created things.  Pure detachment reposes in the highest place. A heart in detachment asks for nothing. Nowhere is there complete rest except only in the heart that has found detachment. -- Meister Eckhart, German mystic (1260-1329)

I live ... so that I may live...

If anyone went on for a thousand years asking of life: "Why are you living?"  ...

LIFE... if it could answer, would only say,  "I live so that I may live."

That is because life lives out of its own ground and springs from its own source..

and so it lives without asking why it is itself living.

-- Meister Eckhart (1260-1329)

KRISHNA-LEELA

BY DR. RAM SHARMA, MEERUT, INDIA

O! Krishna , where are you ?

You have eaten our butter and curd

Al the women gathered and asked

Searching, scolding, complaining

But Yasoda patiently heard

All of a sudden the anger in her filled

Caught Krishna by her two hands and scolded

Krishna  refused and denied

O! mother, I havn`t  eaten butter and curd

----THE MOTHER OF LORD KRISHNA WAS DEVAKI BUT  HE WAS BROUGHT UP BY YASODA

HARE KRISHNA

BY DR. RAM SHARMA , MEERUT, INDIA

each of us plays parts of both joy and sorrow...

Each of us plays parts of both joy

and sorrow. May we play them well.

Give us respite now and then, that we

retire among our thought audiences

in a balcony of introspection.

(Sri Paramahansa Yogananda)

Let's Meditate....

LET`S MEDITATE
A POEM BY DR. RAM SHARMA
Why calculation of materialistic loss
Why not profit of spiritualistic gain
No pleasure, no pain
Care for your karmas
Feel bliss , no try to come again
Bliss is within your reach
See and realize with your own eyes
No more rat race and materialistic cries
Break this chain and feel the inner bliss
Go to Him, touch Him with immortal kiss
Thou can eternal bliss attain
No pleasure, no pain

the element of consciousness this body has is the soul..

DEVO DEVALAYA PROKTYA SA JEEVAH KEVALAH SHIV Means ---This body is a temple of God. The element of consciousness this body has is the soul that is universal and welfaristic .We should not care for body and we should involve in prayers and welfaristic motions

stand firm as a rock.. you are the Self...

If the suns collapse, the moon crumbles into dust, and whole universe are annihilated, what is that to you? Stand firm as a rock, for you are indestructible: you are the Self, the God of the universe. Say: "I am Absolute Existence, Bliss and Knowledge; I am He." And like a lion breaking out of its cage tear off your chains and be free for ever. What frightens you or holds you down? Only ignorance and delusion; nothing else can ever bind you.”
-Swami Vivekananda

March towards you...

MARCH TOWARDS YOU
A POEM BY DR. RAM SHARMA
I have been a prisoner of sensual pleasures
Of this body made of five elements
Bounded in false rotten ego
...Was like a balloon full of pride
Was in pseudo sensations
Engulfed in sweet scenic beauty of materialism
Now no materialistic pleasures cann`t hypnotized me
I have realized myself
I desire love, compassion and equality
No love to temporary egoistic stature
Want to dive deep
In the ocean of love
For thou o! God
I am hearing your clarion call
I am marching towards you

Self Realization... meditate inside...

Everything is inside ----Love, hate, happiness, sadness .---Nothing outside----So meditate inside----Try to know yourself-----you are not body but soul----part of that One Almighty.-------------------- SELF REALIZATION- ---Dr. Ram Sharma

Let go and let God...

God is peacefully at work and your attempts to rush it or tug new life into fully created flower will destroy the entire process. So trust in God's wisdom and allow the blessings to move at their own pace making no demands upon this flow. Let go and let God. -- Karyn Walker, Atlanta, Georgia, USA

the treasure of eternal happiness... for a yogi ...

For a Yogi who has found the treasure of eternal happiness , and whose intellect has stopped running after the objects of enjoyment , even the greatest empire on earth is nothing more valuable than a dry leaf that is to be shed.Such a person , even if she may be without a single coin in her possession , still obtains the pleasure that can hardly ever be obtained by an emperor``---YOGA VASHISHTHA [2, 15 AND 2, 15, 2]

You can lift me up... and He will....

God's children are so loved! All is required is a simple final conviction: My thoughts are way below yours but You can lift me up.
And He will.

Namaste...

The Meaning of Namaste: In Sanskrit the word is namah + te = namaste which means “I bow to you” - my greetings, salutations or prostration
We pray that we continuously keep on suffering time to time because in these times we are able to concentrate more on Almighty.Although we remember God all the time but in our sufferings we remember Him more .---OM NAMO NARAYAN----R.S.

adopt simple living and high thinking..

People have lost their senses and walk self-deluded

in this sense-universe. Intelligent people devise

intelligent methods to take bribes and earn money
...
by various dishonest means. There is corruption

everywhere. It has brought restlessness everywhere.

Mercy, sympathy, candidness and honesty have fled

away from the heart. When the mind is filled with

greed, passion and dishonesty, conscience is

destroyed. Now then, is there any remedy for

improving this present deplorable state of affairs?

Yes, there is. We will have to adopt

simple living and high thinking.

CUT YOUR NEEDS --- CUT YOUR GREED--
LOVE ALL --- SERVE ALL-----------------------Dr. Ram Sharma, Meerut, India

charity...

One volcanic eruption may sweep away all our roads and hospitals and cities and buildings.Let us give up all this foolish talk of doing good to the world.It is not waiting for your or my help, yet we must work and constantly do good, because it is a blessing to ourselves .That is the only way we can become perfect.No beggar whom we have helped has ever owed a single cent to us we owe everything to him, because he has allowed us to exercise our charity on him.------Swami Vivekanand

if you desire wealth... your mind will be running day and night after money..

If you desire wealth , and know at the same time that the whole world regards him who aims at wealth as a very wicked man , you perhaps will not dare to plunge into the struggle for wealth , yet your mind will be running day and night after money .-----------SWAMI VIVEKANANDA

return love for hatred...

May I forgive (first inwardly, then outwardly) those who have most deeply injured me. I would return love for hatred, sweet praise for sour complaints, and good for evil. (Sri Paramahansa Yogananda)###
