Life 'n' Living: 2013-02-03

Nothing is as real as a dream.
The world can change around you, but your dream will not.
Responsibilities need not erase it. Duties need not obscure it.

Because the dream is within you, no one can take it away.
You need to live up to your dream.

You always experience the consequences of your acts.
If your acts are right, you’ll get good consequences; If no, you’ll suffer for it.

Right or Wrong, its in your hand.
But at the end, all acts sum up as your life.

I will not die and unlived life.
I will not live in fear of falling or catching fire.

I choose to inhabit by days, to allow my living to open me,
to make me less afraid, more accessible,
to loosen my heart until it becomes a wing, a torch, a promise.

I choose to risk my significance;
to live so that which comes to me as seed goes to next as blossom
and that which comes to me as blossom, goes as a fruit.

Tomorrow God isn’t going to ask:
What did you dream?
What did you think?
What did you plan?
What did you preach?

He’s going to ask: What did you do?

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?

Life's Struggles

A man found a cocoon of an emperor moth. He took it home so that he could watch the moth come out of the cocoon. On the day a small opening appeared, he sat and watched the moth for several hours as the moth struggled to force the body through that little hole.

Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could go no farther. It just seemed to be stuck. Then the man, in his kindness, decided to help the moth, so he took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon. The moth then

emerged easily.

The world is dangerous not because of those who do harm,
but because of those who look at it without doing anything.

It is up to us to build the world.
To spread the light around us. To make it a better place.

Turn any Surface into a Virtual iPhone Keyboard

While most people speculate and theorize about the future, some others make it obsolete by achieving today what seems to be improbable or even impossible, hence making the future a thing of the past. This time, the defendant is University of London’s student Florian Kraeutli, who developed a (wait for it !) Virtual keyboard for iPhone , using an accelerometer to teach each tapping made on a surface to the iPhone so the gadget can remember it. Sounds like a wacky but useless application at the first time, doesn’t it? Maybe it is. And maybe we’re wrong!

Change The World

Everyone wants to change the way world is.
Everyone wants to see the world happy.

But no one realises that., to make this world a happy place to live.,
You have to change yourself - your heart; and not the world.

A life without challenge would be like
going to school without lessons to learn.

Challenges come not to depress or get you down,
but to master and to grow and to unfold your abilities.

Let Me Do It Now

I expect to pass through this world, but once;
Any good thing therefore that I can do,
or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now;

Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.

The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him, and every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming.

Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect himself from the elements, and to store his few possessions. But then one day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, the smoke rolling up to the sky.

The worst had happened ~everything was lost. He was stunned with grief and anger. God, how could you do this to me he cried. Early the next day, however, he was wakened by the sound of a ship that was approaching the island.

It had come to rescue him. How did you know I was here asked the weary man of his rescuers. We saw your smoke signal, they replied.

It's easy to get discouraged sometimes when things appear to be going badly. But we shouldn't lose heart, because God is at work in our lives, even in the midst of pain and suffering. Remember, next time your little
hut is burning to the ground, it just may be a smoke signal that summons the grace of God.

For all the negative things we have to say to ourselves, God has a positive answer for it.

Share this on, you never know whose life may be in need of this today. There are some times that we all feel our huts are burning.

Five Grains of Rice

Five Grains of Rice
A rich man has four sons. As he grows old, he decides to give his property to the son who would value the wealth he had earned. He calls his four sons and gives them each five grains of rice. He tells them that he shall ask for these grains at the end of 5 years & he would give his property to the son who would value these grains the most.

The first son throws away the grains. He decides to show his father some other grains when he would ask for them after 5 yrs, in anticipation that his father would not be able to see the difference between the two sets of grains.

The second son eats the grains. He too decides to show his father some other grains when he would ask for them after 5 yrs, in anticipation that his father would not be able to see the difference between the two sets of grains.

The third son preserves these grains in a silver box and keeps the silver box in the 'puja sthaan' at home, and offers prayers to the box while offering his prayers to God for 5 yrs.
