Enjoy:-)

Opposition

The more opposition there is, the better. Does a river acquire velocity unless there is resistance? The newer and better a thing is, the more opposition it will meet with at the outset. It is opposition which forestalls success. Where there is no opposition, there is no success either.

Compassion

A compassionate attitude opens our inner door, and as a result it is much easier to communicate with others. If there is too much self-centered attitude, then fear, doubt and suspicion come and as a result our inner door closes. Then it is very difficult to communicate with others.

Travel

Once in a time, it is good to travel. It is healthy to move out from the stereotype of staying at one place, being at all those known sites and environment. Traveling is not comfortable feeling and so you can enjoy lots of adventurous situations, encounters and seeing new places and people. It brings new prospectives.

Past

As my friend says, the destiny can be understood only retrospectively.
I think it is important to try to understand our past because it gives us hints for the present and the future. Learn from the past, live in the present and plan the future.

Humans

With a basic understanding of all humans as brothers and sisters, we can appreciate the usefulness of different systems and ideologies that can accommodate different individuals and groups with different cultural heritages, having different dispositions and tastes. Each person has the right to choose whatever is most suitable, on the basis of a deep understanding of all others as brothers and sisters.

Beauty

People say that nothing is for free. I think everything is for free. Magical sunrise, picturesque sunset, splendid flowers in blossom, beautiful smile, neverending laugh, kind regard, compassion...
Natural and mental beauty is here for all of us at any time and any place and anybody can experience it.

Quest for Happiness

The great benefit of science is that it can contribute tremendously to the alleviation of suffering at the physical level, but it is only through the cultivation of the qualities of the human heart and the transformation of our attitudes that we can begin to address and overcome our mental suffering. In other words, the enhancement of fundamental values is indispensable to our basic quest for happiness.

Mind and Attachment

One who gives up living in houses, wearing fine clothes, and eating good food, and goes into the desert, may be a most attached person. This man's only possession, his own body, may become everything to him, and as he lives he will be simply struggling for the sake of his body. Non-attachment does not mean anything that we may do in relation to our external body. It is all in the mind.

Plans

Think about what you want out of your life. Don't be lazy, don't postpone your plans for later on. Set the plan and make it come true. Think about your daily, weekly, monthly, yearly plans and work on their realization. That way you will be living a satisfactory life.
There can come unexpected changes that will affect your plans, but unless you have your mission, you live your life of somebody else's mission.

God's Love

Never during his life did Ramakrishna refuse a single prayer of mine. Millions of offenses has he forgiven me. Such great love even my parents never had for me. There is no poetry, no exaggeration in all this. It is the bare truth and every disciple of his knows it.

Good

It is very important to generate a good attitude, a good heart, as much as possible. From this, happiness in both the short term and the long term for both yourself and others will come.

Change

Change is the basic condition of all existence. Without change there is no birth, no death, no good times, no bad times. Change is essential for the constant evolution of the world. Hence, why are we that much afraid of changes?

Fears

All the fears are creations of our mind. Train your mind in order to get rid of your fears. Do things you fear to get rid of anxiety and pressure. It will make you grow and you will begin to enjoy even activities you don’t like that much. Because there is not like or dislike. All we do has its purpose. All what happens has its purpose.

Achieve Peace

A person who is not disturbed by the incessant flow of desires - that enter like rivers to the ocean, which is ever being filled but is always still - can alone achieve peace, and not a man who strives to satisfy these desires.

Existence

God is the only real existence, there cannot be two.
There is but One Soul, and I am That.

Friendship

Friendship is a constant learning about people and mainly yourself. More different people are your friends, more aspects of yourself you explore.

Praise and Censure

Praise and censure have no value in this world of ours. They only rock a person as if in a swing. Praise I have had enough of; showers of censure I have also had to bear; but what avails thinking of them! Let everyone go on doing their own duty unconcerned. When the last moment arrives, praise and blame will be the same to you, to me, and to others. We are here to work, and will have to leave all when the call comes.

Soul

The individual soul is unbreakable and insoluble, and can be neither burned nor dried. It is everlasting, all-pervading, unchangeable, immovable and eternally the same.

Non-attachment

The lotus leaf is in the water. The water cannot touch and adhere to it. You should be in the world like that. This is called vairāgya, dispassion or non-attachment. Without non-attachment there cannot be any kind of yoga. Non-attachment is the basis of all the yogas.
