The universe does the rest

The fool chooses success and material gain as a goal,
The intelligent one chooses happiness,
The sensible one chooses self realisation and inner peace.
The wise one seeks Nirvana, Samadhi and Unison with the Divine.
And yet the wisest one of all chooses to choose nothing.
He knows that he just has to be,
In the silence and the quiet, he will know,
Know what he has to do, What needs to be done,
For he is connected with his karmic vibration,
That leads him on to the path that he must take.
Shows him what he must see,
Teaches him what he must learn,
To be what he must become,
and reach where he must go.
The wisest of all don't choose a path,
They follow the path that is in front of them,
They only follow their intuition.
The universe does the rest.

Hold on Yet a While, Brave Heart

If the sun by the cloud is hidden a bit,
If the welkin shows but gloom,
Still hold on yet a while, brave heart,

The victory is sure to come. No winter was but summer came behind
Each hollow crests the wave,
They push each other in light and shade;
 Be steady then and brave. The duties of life are sore indeed,
And its pleasures fleeting, vain,
The goal so shadowy seems and dim,
Yet plod on through the dark, brave heart,

With all thy might and main. Not a work will be lost, no struggle vain

Though hopes be blighted, powers gone;
Of thy loins shall come the heirs to all,
Then hold on yet a while, brave soul,

No good is e'er undone. Though the good and the wise in life are few
Yet theirs are the reins to lead,
The masses know but late the worth;
 Heed none and gently guide. With thee are those who see afar,
With thee is the Lord of might,
All blessings pour on thee, great soul,

 To thee may all come right!

-Swami Vivekananda

Shed your fears, your theories and your beliefs for a moment

Shed your fears, your theories and your beliefs for a moment. Listen to your inner voice. Nothing or no one should instil fear in you or make you feel guilty. This life, this moment, this is it. This is the truth. Right here. This is the only heaven and hell. Since we are here, we may as well live it. Let’s flow with the river of life. Whatever be your past, put it aside, let it go. Make your present so beautiful, worthwhile and meaningful that even Death sits by your feet and begs you to stay bit longer, because with you around even Death enjoys life.

Be grateful. Serve others. Take up a cause greater than yourself. And, I promise, your life will take a whole new meaning, an entirely new dimension.

Life will always move in the direction of the best

Life will always move in the direction of the best. On the way you may find some rough roads, but they will lead you to a better life. Difficulties give you depth and joy gives you width. The wise see their past as destiny, the future as free will and are happy in the present. The unwise regret the past, think the future is destined and are miserable in present. The choice is yours.

Keep smiling. The past has taught us many lessons; what we should be doing and what we should not. Every pain that we went through brought us some depth, and all the joys and pleasures gave us a new vision of life and hope for the future.

 

 

---Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Faith in a nutshell

To work on everything that you can and to let go off everything beyond your control is faith in a nutshell.

Motivational Quotes

When events happen which seem catastrophic, it is not only possible, but very important for you to allow yourself to come to a place of calmness.

Panicking serves no one - not yourself, not the people who are suffering, and not the planet. Allow yourself to trust that there is a larger purpose and that it may not be necessary for you to know that purpose at this time. Allow yourself to have faith that ultimately, all will be well.

=========================================================================================

The one who, after knowing all the pros and cons of issues he is faced with, is able to manage life's challenges with fortitude, with a detached, serene and firm mind - to him will come success as he does not act impulsively. 

=========================================================================================

Only one goal - Life will organize itself behind you and will support you at all times once you stop wavering. Your faculties, your energy, the whole world will get organized behind you because you have nishcalatattvam, an unwavering direction.

Mountain-high though the difficulties appear, terrible and gloomy though all things seem, they are but Maya. Fear not, and it is banished. Crush it, and it vanishes. Stamp upon it, and it dies.

"Live life and take chances. Believe that everything happens for a reason and don't regret. Love to the fullest and you will find true happiness in life. Realize that things go wrong and people change, but things do go on. Sometimes things weren't meant to be. What is supposed to happen will work its way out."

Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do. 
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

"Listen to your inner voice for it is a deep and powerful source of wisdom, beauty and truth, ever flowing through you.

Learn to trust it, trust your intuition, and in good time, answers to all you seek to know will come, and the path will open before you."

"Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right. Forget about those who don't. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it.

If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would most likely be worth it."

-- Harvey MacKay 

=========================================================================================

Patience is a spiritual quality and discipline. Patience is predicated on the faith that God knows better than we ever can hope to know what is good for us.One has to cultivate the state of being patient. We have to trust the universe with its own ways of opening and closing windows of opportunity and doors to happiness and prosperity. We have to learn to be patient. Patience accepts that God's will is greater than my will.

Someday, Somehow, whatever we prayed for, will come true.. It may not be in the exact package we wanted. But it will be what God Thinks is Best For Us.

=========================================================================================

Do not pray for easy life. Pray to be stronger men. Do not pray for tasks equal to your power. Pray for powers equal to your tasks. Then the doing of your work shall be no miracle. Every day you shall wonder at yourself, at the richness of life which has come to you by the grace of God. Not in doing what you like but in liking what you do is the secret of happiness.

"Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better. What if they are a little coarse, and you may get your coat soiled or torn? What if you do fail, and get fairly rolled in the dirt once or twice. Up again, you shall never be so afraid of a tumble."

-- Ralph Waldo Emerson

=========================================================================================

 

God wants you to know that all is well. What could you not accept, if you but knew that everything that happens, all events, past, present, and to come, are gently planned by One Whose only purpose is your good?

Believe in that.
Do not believe that you are weak.
STAND Up and express the divinity withing you.
