1462.0. "Thoughts" by TMCUK2::NAIK (Man with the Eastern Charm) Thu May 02 1991 17:24

I have been contributing regularly in VAXCAT::HOLISTIC conference.  Cindy
Painter has recommended that I duplicate the entries in this conference.



	A form of Yoga called the "Raja Yoga" involves no Yogic exercises.
        It involves use of positive thoughts to face a stressful situation.
        This mental thought process helps one to relax.  Under this topic
        I will try to introduce to you a thought for each day of the week.
        Have a nice thought everyday.
         
	warm regards,

	girish


				THOUGHTS
    
    Thoughts are the food of the mind.  A new thought everyday will not be
    fresh food but will provide the necessary nutrition and stimulant 
    needed to keep the mind healthy and enthusiastic about life.  In these 
    days of disruption and chaos, this is important.
    
    Each day has its own 'Special for the day' :
    
    Sunday    - Blissful
    Monday  - Peaceful
    Tuesday - Loveful
    Wednesday - Powerful
    Thursday  - Knowledgeful
    Friday    - Purity
    Saturday  - Merciful
    
    Bliss :
    It is happiness beyond the senses. Beyond the laughter, the merriment.  
    Away from the sways of joys I've known. Not lost in the gentle pulls of 
    the winds, not using the eyes to see that which lightens and brightens, 
    not using the ears to be hypnotised by the lilting music, and not using 
    the mouth to taste the sweetness of the first fruit of the season.
    Rather, sitting alone with myself; quietly....silently....thoughts 
    turned within.  Listening to the sound of silence.  Then, thoughts 
    turned beyond, beyond the physical, in tune with the spiritual - the
    peaceful, the pure.
    
    Peace :
    It may seem useless to talk about peace when all around us we see a 
    continual state of 'peacelessness'. It is this state that forces on us 
    the necessity of finding our own source of peace to draw upon to live 
    from.
    Consider the flowers. They too live in this peaceless environment.  
    They too have to endure the pollution and decay of the world of nature. 
    Yet, wherever they are found - by the congested roadside, near the 
    swamps, in the desert, amid the thorns and sometimes even on the dung 
    hill- they are eternally beautiful, gay and fragrant.  It is not by 
    chance that flowers are given on every occasion, even the most 
    sorrowful. Flowers call forth images of peace and tranquillity; it is 
    their nature.  
    We are also like flowers.  We are the flowers of the garden of God. In 
    this worldwide garden of everyday hustle and bustle we too are 
    threatened with polluted and degraded circumstances.  Being flowers, we 
    are expected to live in our natural state of peace and spread our 
    fragrance all around us.
    When we realise that the original nature of our soul is that of peace, 
    we can combine with God- who is the Ocean of Peace - and so become the 
    embodiment of peace...a living, thinking flower.
    
    Love :
    It is indeed most powerful force.  It can take us to great heights and 
    leave us light and airy. Yet, it has been the most abused and misused 
    force. Many degraded things pass for love.
    There is a song which states, 'What the world needs now is love, sweet 
    love'. What the world actually needs is an accurate and correct 
    understanding of love. True love is based on understanding, mutual 
    trust and respect, not simply on emotions.
    Love is being in balance, that is, in harmony with the self, God and 
    our fellow man.  Love is selflessness. Love is not an emotional state 
    confined to whims and fancies, but a transcendent state of 
    consciousness which goes beyond the bodily forms. Love has nothing to 
    do with bodies; love dwells in the soul. We must allow love to flow out 
    and around us. By allowing our love to flow, we become moistened and 
    remain forever fresh, attractive and healthy.
    Without love, all of life's treasures are locked away from our vision 
    and experiences, for indeed "Love is the Key".
    
    Power :
    Gaze at the waves, with caps of white, standing tall like snow-capped 
    mountains. They rise up and move forward with crowns. Crowns of Purity
    and Power, Majestic Masters.
    See their motion: relentless, unaffected by objects in their path - 
    whether dull or glittering, large or small. Tireless, they know not the 
    word 'obstacles'.
    Power is being confident that though a few battles may be lost, the 
    great war will be won - Conquerors. Determined that although sometimes 
    the goal seems far away and oh so high, determined to reach the goal. 
    nothing attracts or distracts - Strong-willed. Being fearless; no weak 
    thoughts of doubt. Having strength and using it to face, without 
    wincing, the impurities within and without; strength to destroy them -
    Brave Warriors. 
    
    Knowledge :
    Education is essential in order to make a living in this physical 
    world, but in order to make living a success, in order to experience 
    every moment of life as new, every day as a day of upliftment and 
    blessing, and to have lasting peace, firstly, knowledge of the self is 
    of utmost importance.
    'Know thyself' we are told; and to this end many an orphan has made his 
    long and arduous search to find, or even to come across just the 
    slightest trace of his/her physical parents. Furthermore , men have 
    travelled far and wide amidst strange faces and in far distant places 
    in an extremely costly search for their roots.
    Today, however , the children of the world have become orphans. They 
    have forgotten their parents and have forgotten themselves. Knowledge 
    of the self as an immortal, spiritual being , is Truth. To delve into 
    spiritual matters and experience the self is indeed the highest 
    education.
    
    Purity :
    We were once all peaceful and pure, but what does being pure mean, and 
    how did we act?
    Impurities are chains that bind, devils that make us vicious, and 
    snakes that make us so senseless it is as if we are asleep, 
    ignorant,unconscious. Purity sets us free. It gives us the keys to 
    knowledge, peace, happiness, power and God.
    Purity is so precious, so rare, so powerful, we have to die for it. We 
    have to destroy the old self, the old vices that are so much part of 
    us. Lust, anger, greed, attachment and ego.
    Purity's light is such that we are not confined by boundaries of 
    colour,sex,race,religious beliefs, etc. but we can see far beyond and 
    experience each and every human being as our friend. Its might is  such 
    that the angry and vicious fires of passion are extinguished and in its 
    place pure cool love glows. Its right is that we can come really close 
    to God.
    
    Mercy :
    To the world, the murderer condemned to die has no mercy. To the 
    murderer, the world has no mercy; and so the long, strong chain of 
    man's inhumanity to man continues. It is the story of one judging one's 
    fellow-being and extracting what one thinks is the price to be paid for 
    an action or non-action. There is always a price to pay.
    Nowadays, it is felt that to show mercy is a sign of weakness in 
    character. Not true. Rather it is a sign of great strength., vision and 
    wisdom. To be merciful is to show an accurate understanding of the 
    situations in life which go way beyond the facts and evidences as they 
    are presented visibly. To be merciful indicates an elevated 
    consciousness, so high, that in spite of the disparities and bad 
    actions, we can have the strength to say "I understand and I forgive".
    It is indeed a most sublime quality. When we live constantly from our 
    source of mercy we are beyond danger.
    
    
    

SOME THOUGHTS


Mon  Peace
What was the future happens now, what happens now becomes the past - so
why worry.

Tues  Love
Every situation in life must be faced, so why not face it with love?

Wed  Power
If you realise that everyone is an individual with his own unique part to play,
then the power of tolerance is easy to develop.

Thur  Knowledge
If you spend an hour in worthwhile action there is 1000 fold gain.  If you waste
an hour in useless action there is 1000 fold loss.

Fri  Purity
Relationships based on falsehood are like houses built with their foundations
in mud.

Sat  Mercy
If someone is annoyed with you and he is saying bad things, at that moment to
question why he's saying such things is like pouring oil on a fire.

Sun  Bliss
Freedom starts in the mind not by cutting ropes.

		LIFE
Life is not a problem.  Rather, it is a mystery to be lived, not a problem
to be sovled.

		DEATH
Once you know what life is, you will know what death is.  It is part of the same
process.  Death and life are not separate, not opposites - they are 
complementaries.  Death is not the end of life - it is the crescendo, the
climax, the finale.

		MISERY
Misery is nothing but this struggle of life to explode into millions of 
colors, into millions of rainbows, into millions of flowers, into millions
of songs.

		CELEBRATION
Celebration is unconditional; I celebrate life.  It brings unhappiness - good,
I celebrate it.  It brings happiness- good, I celebrate it.  Celebration is
my attitude, unconditional to what life brings.
We celebrate everything.  Celebration is our way to receive all gifts from God.
Life is his gift, death is his gift; the body is his gift, the soul is his gift.
We celebrate everything.


		RELIGION
Religion is light, religion is understanding, religion is awareness, religion
is authencity.  The real religion is that of meditation.  One simply moves into
oneself..... all directions are dropped, all dimensions are dropped.  One
simply tries to be oneself.

		INTELLIGENCE
Intelligence is trust in your own being.  Intelligence is adventure, thrill,
joy.  Intelligence is to live in this moment, not to hanker for the future.
Intelligence is to make the utmost use of this present moment.  Life is too
short, enjoy every minute you live.

		CREATIVITY
Creativity is a quality, an attitude, an inner approach to life......
Everybody can be creative.  Creativity means loving whatsoever you do -
enjoying, celebrating it as a gift.

		LOVE 	
Unless you have known what Love is you have not known what melody is.
It is the meeting, orgasmic meeting of death and life.  Unless love
is known, you have missed that meeting.

		COMPASSION
Compassion is the highest form of love.  Compassion is therapeutic - because
all that is ill in man is because of love.  To be compassionate one has to
have compassion for oneself first.  If you don't love yourself you will never
be able to love anybody else.

1)  You will receive a body. 
    You may like it or hate it, but it will be yours for the 
    entire period this time round. 

2)  You will learn lessons. 
    You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called Life.  
    Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to 
    learn lessons.  You may like the lessons or think them 
    irrelevant and stupid.

3)  There are no mistakes, only lessons.
    Growth is a process of trial and error experimentation.  The 
    `failed' experiments are as much a part of the process as the 
    experiment that ultimately `works'.

4)  A lesson is repeated until learned.
    A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you 
    have learned it.  When you have learned it, you can then go 
    on to the next lesson.

5)  Learning lessons does not end.
    There is no part of life that does not contain its lessons.  
    If you are alive, there are lessons to be learned.

6)  "There" is no better than "here."
    When your "there" has become a "here," you will simply 
    obtain another "there" that will again - look better than 
    "here."

7)  Others are merely mirrors of you.
    You cannot love or hate something about another person unless 
    it reflects something you love or hate about yourself.

8)  What you make of your life is up to you.
    You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do 
    with them is up to you.  THE CHOICE IS YOURS.

9)  Your answers lie inside you.
    The answers to Life's questions lie inside you.  All you need 
    do is look, listen and trust.

10) You may forget all of this.

11) You will remember what you want - just for today.

1462.87Enabling..WLDWST::KLYDIEWhite Winged DoveWed Sep 04 1991 21:4237
		Enablers are the worst enemies of the
		very people they love the most.

				- Carrie R.


	Enablers are those of us who take the responsibility
	to protect other people from pain.  If someone near 
	us feels down or unhappy, we believe it is our job to
	make them feel better.

	Despite our good intentions, our enabling has a negative 
	side:  In protecting others from pain, we also shield them
	from a marvelous teacher and motivator--experience.  We
	prevent them from taking responsibility and from living
	with the consequences of their decisions.  When enablers,
	even motivated by love, gallop onto the scene, they de-
	prive their loved ones of the motivation they might need
	to make some changes.

	Recovery requires change, and change often begins with a
	conversion experience.  Conversion experiences can be
	rooted in pain.  If we enablers are always there to cushion
	the fall, how are our loved ones going to meet the concrete?
	Our own growth might be due to those who loved us enough to
	let us experience the painful consequences of our mistakes.
	We can pass this loving detachment on to others.

		Today, I will allow others to live with
		their own choices.

    Some people would go down the gurgler if not acted upon by an external
    force. They do not have the mental attitude to save themselves. I guess
    if you believe in multiple lifetimes, ok, so maybe next time around
    they can save themselves? What if you are wittnessing a murder and you
    have the know-how to stop it...should you? I think so...
    
    In everything there is balance...I believe it is a wise man who knows
    when and when not to interfere, to guide someone. I also believe that
    charity at the wrong time is detrimental.

    re: .87, .88
    
         Yes, there *is* a point at which the choices are to allow
    the reality to go as it's headed or to make the reality be different
    (consciously intervening, so-to-speak.)  The question that comes
    up then is whether that has been a positive choice or whether it
    has been a manipulation.  *My* answer is to make the best choice I
    know and then go for it.  That is, if someone is drowning, it may
    very well be their karma to drown.  ON the other hand, it may be that
    their karma is having YOU come along and save them.
         In regards to enabling, perhaps this isn't apparent initially.
    So, initially, one can offer to help.  Once it can be determined
    (making the best choice possible) that the person is manipulating
    (whether from "strength" or from weakness) or is into a martyred
    journey, *THEN* you can decide that you "won't play" or won't buy
    into their drama.  We do NOT have to be sucked into other people's
    drama...you CAN get off the gameboard.  Enabling, as the term could
    be applied here, would no longer be operant.

                          The Black Door

There's a Middle Eastern story of a spy who had been captured and sentenced 
to death by a general of the Persian army.  The general had fallen upon a 
strange and rather bizarre custom.  He permitted the condemned person to 
make a choice. He could either face the firing squad or pass through the 
black door.

As the moment of execution drew near, the general ordered the spy to be 
brought before him for a short, final interview, the primary purpose of 
which was to receive the answer of the doomed man to the question: "Which 
shall it be - the firing squad or the black door?"

This was not an easy question, and the prisoner hesitated, but soon he made 
it known that he much preferred the firing squad.  Not long thereafter, a 
volley of shots in the courtyard announced the grim sentence had been 
fulfilled.  The general, staring at his boots, turned to his aide and said, 
"You see how it is with men; they will always prefer the known way to the 
unknown.  It is characteristic of people to be afraid of the undefined.  And 
yet I gave him his choice."

"What lies behind the black door?" asked the aide.

"Freedom," replied the general, "and I've known only a few men brave enough 
to take it."

Like so many stories out of the Middle East, this one carries a pretty hefty 
message.  The first is, of course, that we will often choose the familiar, 
even if it's undesirable, over the unknown, which might be a wonderful 
opportunity. And second, that few people are brave enough to choose freedom.

I'm not saying we should reject the familiar - not by any means.  But we 
should question the familiar.  Just because it's familiar doesn't make it 
good, best, or the best thing to do.

When you heard the story about the black door, you probably said to 
yourself, "I would have chosen the black door.  I would have had nothing to 
lose; the firing squad was certain death."  And most people would say the 
same thing. But actually faced with the choice, would you?  How many doors 
to freedom have we passed up during our lives because we tend to cling so 
fiercely to the familiar?

How many times have events come about that we worried and stewed about - 
even thought calamitous at the time - and that later proved to be blessings 
in disguise?  Each of them was a black door through which we passed to 
greater freedom.  But at the time, we would have chosen to keep things as 
they were if we had been given the chance.

At any rate, it's one of those stories that makes for interesting discussion 
at the dinner table, or with friends.  Tell the story of the black door, and 
see what sort of reaction you get.

It's good to remember, if we can, that it is often those things we worry 
about and most fear that turn out to be blessings in disguise.

		Yesterday's answer has nothing to do

					- Stu B.


	As little kids, many of us learned to disconnet from
	pain rather than stay attached.  We separated ourselves
	from the action around us in order to survive.  Over time,
	what we did is what we became--separate.  Having almost
	literally burned the bridge between us and others, we see
	now that we are stranded.  The isolation that was meant to
	keep anyone from getting at us also keeps anyone from getting
	to us.

	We need to rebuild the bridge.  People, like islands, need
	ways to see and reach and touch hands over all that separating
	water.  Making connections is the only way.  Unless we can hear
	each other singing and crying, unless  we can comfort each
	other's failures and cheer each other's victories, we are
	missing out on the best that life has to offer.  The only real
	action takes place on the bridge between people.

		Today, I ask my Higher Power for the courage
		to build another bridge.

    The future is made of the same stuff as the present.
    				- Simone Weil

    The moment is eternal.  It is unending.  When we move with the 
    moment, we experience all that life can offer.  Being fully awake to 
    right now guarantees rapture even when there's pain, because we know 
    we are evolving, and we thrill with the knowledge.  We are one with 
    all that's going on around us.  Our existence is purposeful and part 
    of the whole of creation, and we can sense our purpose.

    Nothing is -- but NOW.  And when we dwell on what was or what may 
    be, we are cut off from life -- essentially dead.  The only reality is 
    the present, and it's only in the present that we are invited to make 
    our special contribution to life; perhaps at this moment our special 
    contribution is to reach out to another person, an act that will 
    change two lives, ours and another persons

    We must cling to the present, or we'll miss its invitation to 
    grow, to help a friend perhaps, to be part of the only reality there 
    is.  The present holds all we need and all we'll ever need to fulfill 
    our lives.  It provides every opportunity for our happiness -- the 
    only happiness there is.

   
        Abstinence offers me the gift of the present.  I will 
    	cherish it, be grateful, relish it.

                TAKEN FROM "THE PROMISES"  
     
     
     	   We have our brush and colors---paint Paradise
     	   and in we go.
     
                                   --Nikos Kazantzakis
     
     
     We find in our experiences and in our daily reveries just 
     what we anticipate.  If we greet the day wearing a smile, 
     confident that we are needed and able to make a 
     contribution, we'll discover that the day holds great 
     promise.  What we need to understand is that every day holds 
     just as much promise as we're capable of expecting.  We 
     carry within ourselves the image of the picture we're 
     creating.
     
     Since the choice to find happiness rather than sorrow and 
     regret is our own, why does the latter even attract us?  For 
     no other reason than we fail to believe that we're deserving 
     of happiness.  We know our own shortcomings; we're aware of 
     the details in our lives for which we feel shame.  We think 
     only the pure of heart deserve happiness.  But we're human.  
     And this means mistakes are normal and expected.  With 
     wisdom comes full understanding of this fact.  In the 
     meantime, we can trust that happiness is our birthright.  
     All that's requested is our belief in it.
     
     
     	   Today will offer me all that I truly desire.
     	   Happiness attracts itself.

1462.127WLDWST::KLYDIETotally TunedFri Oct 11 1991 04:5982

	I don't have to feel strong all the time to take care of myself.

	I can handle making a mistake.
	It's no big deal.
	It's part of living.

	I will love and cherish the child inside me and 
	Never, never let it go.

	I am with the people I need to be with -- for today.

	Controlling keeps me from enjoying other people,
	And it blocks their growth.

	I will know when the time has come to let go.

	Other people can't change how I feel.
	Only I can change how I feel.

	It's okay to be who I am. 
	I can relax and enjoy myself and other people.

	Anger helps identify problems,
	But it usually doesn't help solve them.

	I don't need everybody's approval.  
	I only need my own approval.

	It's normal to resist affirmations and other positive thoughts,
	But I can be patient.
	I don't have to give up.

	Today I'm going to give life a chance to happen.
	I'm going to give myself an opportunity to enjoy it.

	I have a right to feel anger when I need to,
	And a responsibility to deal appropriately with my anger.

	I don't have to do more today than I can reasonably do.

	Sometimes we grow out of relationships.
	Sometimes we grow out of organizations.
	Sometimes we grow out of jobs.

	Once I learn to care for the child in myself,
	I'll know how to help the children in my life.

	Today I will love from my strengths, not from my weaknesses.
	And I'll ask others to do the same.

	I may want to make new decisions as I grow.

	If I'm wrong today, I'll say so.

	I need to be willing to be changed,
	And I need to cooperate in the process of change.

	I need to do my part,
	And I do my part best when I do it one day at a time.

	Unresolved anger can keep me from getting close to people.

	I will give up regrets about the past and fears about the future.
	I will make the most of this day.

	When one method of problem solving fails,
	I can try another.

	Today I will trust the person I'm learning to depend on -- myself.

	If someone else has a bad day,
	It doesn't necessarily have anything to do with me.
	It doesn't have to ruin my day.

	If I want to start a relationship,
	The first thing I have to do is smile and say, "Hi!"

	God loves me and is taking care of me.
	All I need today shall be provided.

	A Special Valentine Day's Message
 
	

    Everybody wants to be loved.  That is a wrong beginning.  And it starts 
    because the child, the small child, cannot love, cannot say anything, 
    cannot do anything, cannot give anything - he/she can only get.
    
    A small child's experience of love is of getting - getting from the 
    mother, getting from the father, getting from the brothers, sisters, 
    getting from guests, strangers, but always getting. So the first 
    experience, deep in his/her unconscious settles - that he/she has to get 
    love.
    
    But the trouble arises because everybody has been a child, and evrybody 
    has the same urge to get love; and nobody is born in any other way.  So 
    all are asking, "Give us love," and there is nobody to give, because the 
    other person is also brought up in the same way.
    
    So one has to be alert and aware that just an accident of birth should 
    not remain a constant prevailing state of your mind.  Rather than asking, 
    "Give me love," start giving love.  Forget about getting, simply give; 
    and I gurantee you , you will get much.
    
    Today when you celebrate your Valentine's day with your partner, remember 
    the above.  Remember this throughout your future life.

1462.217How fortunate you are..CHEFS::NAIKMan with the Eastern CharmMon Feb 24 1992 13:2159
Dear All,

I am helping a friend to recover from her depression.  She reacted very 
positively to the following messages.  I hope you find them useful as well.

regards,

Girish

		THE PASSING PHASES OF LIFE'S TROUBLES.
	STOP FOR JUST A MOMENT AND SEE HOW FORTUNATE YOU ARE.

Any grave situation that occurs should be considered as a passing phase in this 
Eternal World Drama of Life, where each scene has its own important 
significance. If I do not remain aware of this, there is likely to be much 
confusion and even unhappiness within my life.  Let me be fully conscious that 
in each situation there lies some degree of benefit even if it is only the level 
of learning a lesson. But then, is it not true that to learn means to acquire 
knowledge, and is it not said that knowledge is wealth?

If I am seeing only the negative aspects of something strange which has ocurred, 
I am likely to experience sorrow. I might even be drawn to tears and grief. This 
will of course trap me in a net of self pity whereby I am neither willing nor 
able to discover what the hidden benefit of that scene may be. Yes, it is true 
that sometimes the benefit can be deeply hidden, but quite often it is easily 
apparent.  All I need to do is maintain this positive attitude and keep my eyes 
free from tears and my vision focused on the positive side of the fence.  This 
will definitely save you time, energy and temper.  

"Blessings are not valued until they are gone." In the hectic hustle and bustle 
of living, so much is overlooked and so many of our actions are automatic that 
it is as if nothing special ever happens.

We awaken in the morning. Some of us can open our eyes and look out at the 
world. Some of us can hear the birds sweetly singing. Some of us can say, "good 
Morning" to the world with our voice and some can get out of the bed healthy and 
strong.

For some, the hustle and bustle starts early because the children have to be off 
to school and we have to be off to a job.  For others the hustle and bustle is 
in the mind, how to earn the money for food and where next to look for the job.  
For those not in their homes, but in hospitals and institutions, thoughts of 
returning home and rehabilitation crowd the mind.

Nothing stays the same. The situation we find ourselves in today can change in 
the twinkling of the eye and the freedoms we took granted can disappear. Do you 
ever stop to count your blessings to see how fortunate you are? Yes we know that 
we should do better and it is indeed a healthy thing to seek progress and 
improvement. But will there be improvement if I simply sit and moan in a corner? 
Most certainly not!

Every now and then during the day, just stop for a moment and see the value of 
whatever you have, regardless of how little it may seem to you. To someone less 
fortunate your little is quite a lot. Why not value what you have?  Who knows 
how long you will have it?

When you look at a glass containing water, feel not how much empty it is but 
feel how much full it is.

         To lump everyone into a common pot is not usually a very
    wise thing to do (unless it is  :-)  ) but in this regard one
    person's focus or one person's "purposes" or destiny is totally
    different from every other's...similarly, none of us has the 
    same strengths though we may share some.  And the way one person
    is best suited to displaying his/her strengths is very likely
    to be uneffective or inappropriate for a different person attempting
    to express the same strengths.  *Therefore,*  ergo, ipso facto,

I hope this helps when you feel deprived of something.

		THE WORLD IS MINE

Today upon a bus I saw, a lovely girl with golden hair;
I envied her...she seemed so gay...and wished I were as fair.
When suddenly she rose to leave, I saw her hobble down the aisle;
She had one foot and wore a crutch, but as she passed a smile.

Oh God, forgive me when I whine;
I have two feet...the world is mine!

And then I stopped to buy some sweets.
The lad who served them had such charm, I talked with him.
He said to me; "It's nice to talk to folks like you.
You see," he said, "I'm blind."

Oh God, forgive me when I whine;
I have two eyes...the world is mine!

Then, walking down the street, I saw a child with eyes so blue.
He stood and watched the others play;
It seemed he knew not what to do.
I stopped for a moment, then I said, "Why don't you join the others dear?"
He looked ahead without a word, and then I knew he could not hear.

Oh God, forgive me when I whine;
I have two ears...the world is mine!

With feet to take me where I'd go,
With eyes to see the sunset's glow'
With ears to hear what I would know,

Oh God, forgive me when I whine;
I'm blessed indeed! The world is mine!

Dear All,


As I celebrate my birthday today, I wish to share the thoughts in my mind
here.

regards,

Girish



  			A Birthday Wish for Self.
  
  
  Just for today I will be happy. This assumes what Abraham Lincoln said is 
  true, that "most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to 
  be." Happiness is from within; it is not a matter of externals.
  
  Just for today I will try to adjust myself to what is, and not try to 
  adjust everything to my own desires. I will take my family, my job, my 
  friends and my luck as they come and fit myself to them.
  
  Just for today I will take care of my body. I will exercise it, care for 
  it, nourish it, not abuse it or neglet it, so that it will be perfect 
  machine for my bidding.
  
  Just for today I will try to strengthen my mind. I will learn something 
  useful. I will not be a mental loafer. I will read something that requires 
  effort, thought and concentration.
  
  Just for today I will exercise my soul in three ways. I will do somebody a 
  good turn and not get found out. I will do at least two things I don't 
  want to do, as William James suggests, just for exercise.
  
  Just for today I will be agreeable. I will look as well as I can, dress as 
  becomingly as possible, talk slow, act courteously, be liberal with 
  praise, criticise not at all, nor find fault with anything and not try to 
  regulate nor improve anyone.
  
  Just for today I will try to live through this day only, not to tackle my 
  whole life problems at once. I can do things for twelve hours that would 
  appal me if I had to keep them for a lifetime.
  
  Just for today I will have a programme, I will write down what I expect to 
  do every hour. I may not follow it exactly, but I will have it, I will 
  eliminate two pests, hurry and indecision.
  
  Just for today I will have a quiet half hour all by myself and relax. In 
  this half hour sometimes I will think of God, so as to get a little more 
  perspective into my life.
  
  Just for today I will be unafraid, especially I will not be afraid to be 
  happy, to enjoy what is beautiful, to love, and to believe that those I 
  love, love me.
  
  Just for today I wish that I can do the above during each day I live.

              	   		LOVE
              
              Love takes time. It needs a history 
              	   of giving and receiving, laughing 
              	   and crying...
              Love never promises instant gratification, 
              	   only ultimate fulfilment.
              Love means believing in someone, in something. 
              	   It supposes a willingness to struggle,
              	   to work, to suffer, and to rejoice.
              Satisfaction and ultimate fulfilment are
              	   by-products of dedicated love. They
              	   belong only to those who can reach
              	   beyond themselves; to whom giving
              	   is more important than receiving.
              Love is doing everything you can to help
              	   others build whatever dreams they have.
              Love involves much careful and active 
              	   listening. It is doing whatever needs to
              	   be done, and saving whatever will promote
              	   the other's happiness, security and
              	   well-being. Sometimes, love hurts.
              Love is on a constant journey to what others
              	   need. It must be attentive, caring, and open,
              	   both to what others say and to what
              	   others cannot say...
              Love says no with empathy and great compassion.
              Love is firm, but when needed it must be tender.
              	   When others have tried and failed love is
              	   the hand in yours in your moments of
              	   discouragement and disappointment.
              Love is reliable.
              Love is a choice and commitment to others'
              	   true and lasting happiness. It is dedicated
              	   to growth and fulfilment. Love is
              	   not selfish.
              Love sometimes fails for lack of wisdom
              	   or abundance of weakness, but it forgives,
              	   knowing the intentions are good.
              Love does not attach conditions... Genuine
              	   love is always a free gift.
              Love realises and accepts that there will be
              	   disagreements and disturbing emotions...
              	   There may be times when miles lay between
              	   but love is a commitment. It believes
              	   and endures all things.
              Love encourages freedom of self. Love shares
              	   positive and negative reactions to warm
              	   and cold feelings.
              Love, intimate love, will never reject others.
              	   It is the first to encourage and the last 
              	   to condemn.
              Love is a commitment to growth, happiness,
              	   and fulfilment of one another.



              The Ten Secrets of a Successful Relationship
         
         
         - Having a wonderful friend.  
         
         - Communicating. (We try. And we all get better.)
         
         - Being intimately involved in one another's lives. (Open,   
           honest, touching, together. The closer you are, the more 
           secure you feel.)
         
         - Being happy as individuals. (And bringing good things to   
           the relationship from both directions.)
         
         - Reaching out for dreams together. 

         - Always being there for one another. (Always.)
         
         - Overlooking the few flaws. (But cherishing the thousands of   
           things that are wonderful.)   
         
         - Remembering that rainbows follow rain.
         
         - Always sharing. (Friends, families, dreams, desires.   
           Weaving together the fabric of our lives.)
         
         - And always caring. ("Always is a long, long time. But 
           "always is how you would  want your relationship to be... with  
           loving your partner, as happy and as giving and as thankful 
           as any two people could be.)

Hi all,

I have just been back from vacation. Before I went away I lost a very
young friend and after her funeral I had been going over the following
thoughts :  

It is another's smile that fills you with joy,
Bear the burden of another's sorrow if you can,
And feel love for another in your heart,
"That is what life is about".

I concede my pocket is empty like a pauper,
Yet I am rich at heart,
A life sacrificed to love others,
A life striving for happiness,
You may or may not believe,
"That is what life is about".

The bond between hearts is a bond of trust,
The name of love thrives thanks to us all,
Even after death, someone will remember me,
My beaming face will still be seen in someone's tears, 
And the rose will tell every petal again and again,
"That is what life is about".

1462.504Don't give upREPROT::NAIKGMan with the Eastern CharmSun Apr 18 1993 07:4932
Dear All,

During the Easter break while I was helping a friend to overcome from some
major setbacks, I shared the following words of wisdom with her. She felt
them soothing and strengthening.

regards,

Girish

 		Don't give up

 When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
 When the road you are trudging seems all uphill,
 When the funds are low and the debts are high
 And you want to smile but you have to sigh
 When care is pressing you down a bit,
 Rest, if you must, but don't you quit.
 Life is queer with its twists and turns,
 As every one of us sometimes learns
 And many a failure turns about
 When one might have won had one stuck out
 Don't give up though the pace seems slow
 You may succeed with another blow.
 Success is failure turned inside out
 The silver tint of the cloud of doubt,
 And you never can tell how close you are
 It may be near when it seems so far.
 So stick to the fight when you are hardest hit.
 It's when things seem worst, You must not quit

As an afterthought...

Recently I had a car crash (noone hurt) and wasn't sure what would happen
with the other driver, my insurance, the possibility of getting a bank loan
for a new car, the situation with the police, etc..

I could very easily have worried myself sick and allowed myself to sink
lower and lower, seeing potential(likely) problems everywhere.

Instead I tries to adopt much of the attitude/technique that I feel Girish
has tried to promote.  I stood back and analysed whether I could do anything
positive or not.  After getting advise from a solicitor, there was no more
positive action I could take.  It was then that I applied the approach of
'No Action'.  I didn't let any worries get to me, I enjoyed the other things
in my life and had a good time.

When I finally heard back from the other driver, then I could take action 
again.  It was amazing how well things turned out in the end by not taking
any action.

With the right attitude/approach things do turn out the best!
