*Why We Love Eulogies More Than Visits..

*Why We Love Eulogies More Than Visits..* ------------------------------------------ There’s something bizarre about human nature. A person could be lying on his bed, sick and lonely, and the only visitors he gets are the lizards on the ceiling and the occasional mosquito buzzing in his ear. But, the moment he kicks the bucket—BAM!—people crawl out of the woodwork, delivering Oscar-worthy speeches about what a *"gem of a person"* he was! *"He was a great soul, always helping others."* *"Such a kind-hearted man, always there for everyone."* *"The world has lost an irreplaceable human being!"* Really? If he was so irreplaceable, why was his phone gathering dust when he was alive? Where Were You, Sherlock? You see, humans have a strange habit of remembering people… after they’re gone. A man could be sitting at home for years, waiting for a simple- *"Hey, how are you?"* call, but all he hears is the sound of his own thoughts. However, the day he moves to the next world, people suddenly remember all the good times they had with him (even if the last *"good time"* was in the Jurassic era)! The irony? They’ll travel miles, cancel meetings, and even take leave from work to attend the funeral. But visiting him when he was alive? *"Ah, you know, I’ve been really busy."* Busy? With what? Scrolling Instagram? Watching YouTube videos on *"How to be more productive"* while doing absolutely nothing? The Art of Saying Too Much, Too Late.. The best part? Funerals become storytelling competitions. *"Oh, he was like a brother to me!"* (Really? Name his favourite food.) *"He always made me laugh!"* (Then why was he crying alone last week?) *"He touched so many lives!"* (Then why didn’t you touch his by showing up when he needed you?) It’s like people love to collect words and tributes, but only when the person can’t hear them anymore. If we used even 10% of that effort to actually visit people, imagine how many smiles we could bring. The Reality Check... Look, it’s simple—people don’t need your praises when they’re gone; they need your presence when they’re here. No one ever died from an overdose of love and attention. So, if you truly care about someone, prove it while they can still appreciate it. Before rushing to deliver a grand eulogy, try these instead: ✔️ Call that old friend you haven’t spoken to in years. ✔️ Visit that lonely uncle who keeps forwarding WhatsApp jokes no one replies to. ✔️ Spend time with your parents before they start confusing you with the neighbour’s son. ✔️ Show love today, not posthumously. Because let’s be honest—no one wants to be the most popular person in the cemetery...!! ------------------------------------------ Jai Hind.

Peace of Soul

Fri 4 Apr, 06:00 (3 days ago) to Good Morning!!! Peace of Soul Around the Year with Emmet Fox April 4 “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you… Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid” (John 14:27). This true, interior soul-peace was known to the mystics as serenity, and they are never tired of telling us that serenity is the grand passport to the Presence of God – the sea as smooth as glass that is round about the Great White Throne. This is not to say that one cannot tackle even the most serious difficulties by prayer without having any serenity at all. But before you can make any true spiritual progress you must achieve serenity; and it is that fundamental tranquility of soul that Jesus refers to by the word peace – the peace that passes all human understanding. The Peacemakers are those who bring about this peace in their own souls; they surmount limitation and become actually, not merely potentially, the children of God. This condition of mind is the objective at which Jesus aims. Of course, to be a peacemaker in the usual sense of composing the quarrels of other people is an excellent thing; but, as all practical people know, an excessively difficult role to fill. But once you understand the power of prayer, you will be able to heal many quarrels in the true way; probably without speaking at all. The silent thought of All-Power of Love and Wisdom will cause trouble to melt away almost imperceptibly. You will become a peacemaker.

Krishna was born in 3228 BC. If He is God, then who created the universe, which has been created millions of years before Krishna?

Krishna was born in 3228 BC. If He is God, then who created the universe, which has been created millions of years before Krishna? Firstly, God didn't create the universe. It's only to say. God is supreme controller of the universe. Since He is ultimate controller so it's natural to think that he is its creator too. Though, some scriptures state that God is such entity where everything emanates from. But again emanation and creation are two different things. (Lamp emanates the light, not creates the light). Some texts say that universe is beginning less along God who is the true permanent bliss, happiness and peace. This universe is subservient to God. GOD IS MOST POWERFUL. Secondly, Krishna was unborn. He was never born. He was birthless, beyond time & space, beyond life and death. He was/is eternal, beginning less, endless personality. He is ever existing. Both Mahabharata and Bhagvatam mention this frequently. Lord Krishna is beyond past, future and present. And Since he is beyond time, your question doesn't make sense as it mentions numbers. Lord Krishna is beyond old and new. He has been governing the universe ever since it came into existence. . Thankyou. Edit :- Some people are commenting that it's about Lord Krishna’s physical birth on earth. We know that he is god and unborn eternal. Let me clear this misconception —- There is not even physical birth of Lord Krishna. He is absolutely birthless, unborn. Krishna had manifested in his four hand Vishnu form before Devaki and Vasudeva in the prison house of Kamsa. After explaining them why did he do that Krishna converted himself into an infant and made himself lay near to devaki. Rest all was only yogmaya effect of the lord. Krishna made feel Devaki pregnant for entire nine months & at the time of delivery. In reality there was no child in the womb of Devaki. So Krishna is entirely ajanma, anadi, ananta. Edit 2 :- The disappearance of Lord Krishna : The event of Lord Krishna's departure from earth too had to be mysterious, deluding and divine. (not natural). So what we see through scriptures, The scene: The hunter shoots an arrow at the foot of Lord Krishna and immediately runs to him with fear and guilt. He apologizes the supreme lord. Lord Krishna comforts him and ascends upwards the sky leaving a dummy of his body for the ritual of cremation. After leaving the earth, Lord Krishna, the super soul then reaches to heaven, meets some deities, gandharvas and apsaras and finally goes to his fathomless abode Param Dhama..

THE TEMPLE OF SOLOMON GOLD

Good Morning!!! THE TEMPLE OF SOLOMON GOLD Around the Year with Emmet Fox April 6 We know that the spiritual consciousness which we are all engaged in building is spoken of in the Bible as the Temple of Solomon. The name Solomon means peaceful, and symbolizes wisdom. This is logical, for peace of mind is the foundation of all spiritual building, the hallmark of understanding. The Bible states that five things were to be found around the temple. “For the king had at sea a navy of Tharshish with the navy of Hiram: once in three years came the navy of Tharshish, bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks” 1 Kings 10:22 This is the Scriptural manner of telling us that there are five principal temptations that may come to the soul that is striving to build the spiritual temple. The particular form that each temptation takes will vary according to the temperament and circumstances of the subject, but in principle will be the same. First comes the gold, and this stands for desire for personal power over other people, the desire to regulate their lives, to make them toe the line—our line, naturally—and even to make use of them. Many people on the spiritual path have given way to this temptation. They must dominate other people's souls. They tell themselves that it is done for the good of the victims, of course, but it is really a craving for personal power and glorification. It is not an ignoble sin like that connected with the silver, but for that very reason it is far more dangerous, far-reaching, and enduring. The thing that gold symbolizes when rightly understood is the omnipresence of God; and of course, religious tyranny is a denial of this. You should do all you can to help, to enlighten, and to inspire others, as far as your own understanding will permit, but you must never try to dictate their convictions; or to hold to your own opinions. Religious tyranny is poisonous to the victims; but it is absolutely mortal to the tyrant.

Celebs

This was sent to me by someone about two years back. Thought it is worth sharing. 😎 *It is wonderfully written.* I never understood one thing that what do these film actors or actresses do that they get 50 crores or 100 crores for each film? In a country where top scientists, doctors, lawyers,engineers, professors, officers etc. get 10 lakh to 20 lakh rupees per year, in that country a film actor earns 10 crore to 100 crore rupees per year. *What does he do after all? What is their contribution in the development of the country?* After all, what does he do that he earns so much in just one year that it might take 100 years for the top scientist of the country! _Today, the three areas which have fascinated the new generation of the country are cinema, cricket and politics._ The earning and prestige of the people belonging to these three fields is beyond all limits. These three areas are the ideals of modern youth, while their credibility is currently under question. So it is useless for the country and the society. _Drugs and prostitution in Bollywood, match fixing in cricket, hooliganism and corruption in politics. Money is the main reason behind all this and it is we who bring this money to them._ We are doing our own harm by burning our own money. This is the height of stupidity. Till 70-80 years back, famous actors used to get normal salary. Till 30-40 years ago, the earnings of cricketers were also not special. Till 30-40 years ago, there was not so much loot in politics. *Slowly they started robbing us and we kept robbing ourselves happily.* By getting caught in the clutches of these mafia, we are destroying the future of our children and our country. _Till 50 years back, movies were not made so vulgar and sloppy. Cricketers and politicians were not so arrogant. Today he has become our God (?). Now there is a need to lift them from the head and slam them so that they can know their status._ Once , when the then Vietnamese President Ho-Chi-Minh came to India, in a meeting with Indian ministers, he asked - _"What do you guys do?"_ These people said - "We do politics." He could not understand this answer, so he asked again - "I mean, what is your profession?" These people said - _"Politics is our profession."_ Ho-Chi Minh got a little annoyed and said - *"Maybe you people do not understand my meaning. I do politics too, but by profession , I am a farmer and I do farming. Farming makes my livelihood. In the morning and evening I go to my fields. I work. I do my responsibility for the country as President during the day."* _When Ho-Chi-Minh asked the same thing again, a member of the delegation shrugged and said - "Politics is our profession."_ It is clear that Indian leaders had no answer to this. Later a survey revealed that the livelihood of more than 6 lakh people in India was supported by politics. Today this number has reached in crores. _Just a few months ago, when Europe was being devastated by Corona, the doctors were not getting even a little leave for several months in a row, then a Portuguese doctor said angrily - "Go to Ronaldo, to whom you would give millions of dollars to watch. I only get a few thousand dollars."_ I firmly believe that in a country where the ideals of young students are not scientists, researchers, educationists, but actors, politicians and sportsmen, they may have their own economic progress, but the country will never progress. Socially, intellectually, culturally, strategically, the country will always remain backward. The unity and integrity of such a country will always be in danger. The country in which the dominance of unnecessary and irrelevant sector continues to grow, that country will be weakening day by day. _The number of corrupt and anti-nationals will continue to increase in the country. Honest people will be marginalized and nationalists will be forced to lead a difficult life._ *We need to create an environment to groom and promote talented, honest, conscientious, social worker, belligerent, patriot citizens..*

Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Show respect to people even when they don't deserve it. Respect is a reflection of your character, not theirs. Don't be disappointed if people refuse to help you. Remember the words of Einstein - I am thankful to all those who said no. Because of them, I did it myself. You don't have to tell everyone everything. Not because it is a secret, but because it is none of their business. There is a difference between somebody who wants you and somebody who would do anything to keep you. If you don't leave your past in the past, it will destroy your future. Live for what today has to offer, not what yesterday has taken away. The golden rule of all relationships is to correct each other in private and defend each other in public.
