Attaining Purpose of Life

There are three steps to attain the whole-sole purpose of human life.

Step One:
Be Positive MindedAlways bear a positive outlook. Several pessimistic and negative thoughts might come across your path in this journey towards your goal. Transform every negative thought to a positive one by using the word but. If a thought comes to you, I am sad, then immediately transform this thought into a positive one. Say, I am sad, but if I desire, I can experience the feeling of bliss here and now itself. If you think that I cannot do this work, then reframe the thought in this manner I cannot do this, but with the help of God it can be possible.

Step Two:
Be Present MindedIn this step you are required to keep yourself alert about every sound, every incident, every thought around you, every moment. By doing so, you will become sensitive about yourself and your surroundings. You will also get rid of forgetfulness. You shall no more remain absentminded. Your awareness about the present also will make you aware about negative emotions or vices in you such as hatred, disgust, anger, pride, comparison and greed. Thus your mind starts to become pure. Practice living in the present using all the methods and meditations that you come across. (Many such exercises are featured in our newsletters regularly)

Step Three:
Be Single MindedIn the third step, you are undisturbed and only focused towards the whole-sole purpose of your life. Remind yourself of your whole sole purpose throughout the day. It is the law of life that whatever you are receptive toward, whatever you focus your attention on, that manifests in your life. Be single minded about the whole sole purpose of being established in the centre within where you experience eternal bliss.

Asking the right question

Jack and Max are walking from religious service. Jack wonders whether it would be all right to smoke while praying.

Max replies, "Why don't you ask the Priest?"

So Jack goes up to the Priest and asks, "Father, may I smoke while I pray?"

The Priest replies, "No, my son, you may not! That's utter disrespect to our religion."

Jack goes back to his friend and tells him what the good Priest told him.

Max says, "I'm not surprised. You asked the wrong question. Let me try."

And so Max goes up to the Priest and asks, "Father, may I pray while I smoke?"

To which the Priest eagerly replies, "By all means, my son. By all means. You can always pray whenever you want to."

**********

Moral of the story is... The reply you get depends on the question you ask.

Don't say goodbye

Please believe me, I will never be untrue,
and don't believe the jealous lies they told to you.
Oh no, don't go, don't make this poor boy cry,
I'll be true, I beg of you, don't say goodbye.

Now don't you know I love you more than I can say,
and it would mean my life if you should run away.
Oh no, don't go, don't make this poor boy cry,
I'll be true, I beg of you, don't say goodbye.
You just won't listen to my pleas, you want me begging on my knees.
So sit right down and listen while I beg,
you see I'll never be untrue, so please believe in me.
Oh no, don't go, don't make this poor boy cry,
I'll be true, I beg of you, don't say goodbye.

Unconditional Love!!!

A story is told about a soldier who was finally coming home after having fought in Vietnam. He called his parents from San Francisco. "Mom and Dad, I'm coming home, but I've a favor to ask. I have a friend I'd like to bring home with me." "Sure," they replied, "we'd love to meet him." "There's something you should know the son continued, "he was hurt pretty badly in the fighting. He stepped on a land mind and lost an arm and a leg. He has nowhere else to go, and I want him to come live with us." "I'm sorry to hear that, son. Maybe we can help him find somewhere to live." "No, Mom and Dad, I want him to live with us." "Son," said the father, "you don't know what you're asking. Someone with such a handicap would be a terrible burden on us. We have our own lives to live, and we can't let something like this interfere with our lives. I think you should just come home and forget about this guy. He'll find a way to live on his own." At that point, the son hung up the phone.

The parents heard nothing more from him. A few days later, however, they received a call from the San Francisco police. Their son had died after falling from a building, they were told. The police believed it was suicide. The grief-stricken parents flew to San Francisco and were taken to the city morgue to identify the body of their son. They recognized him, but to their horror they also discovered something they didn't know, their son had only one arm and one leg. The parents in this story are like many of us. We find it easy to love those who are good-looking or fun to have around, but we don't like people who inconvenience us or make us feel uncomfortable.

We would rather stay away from people who aren't as healthy, beautiful, or smart as we are. Thankfully, there's someone who won't treat us that way. Someone who loves us with an unconditional love that welcomes us into the forever family, regardless of how messed up we are.

Tonight, before you tuck yourself in for the night, say a little prayer that God will give you the strength you need to accept people as they are, and to help us all be more understanding of those who are different from us!!! There's a miracle called Friendship That dwells in the heart You don't know how it happens Or when it gets started But you know the special lift It always brings And you realize that Friendship Is God's most precious gift! Friends are a very rare jewel, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed They lend an ear, they share a word of praise, and they always want to open their hearts to us.

Kindness Pays!!!!

One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through school, found he had only one thin dime left, and he was hungry.He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, "How much do I owe you?"
"You don't owe me anything," she replied "Mother has taught us never to accept payment for a kindness." He said... "Then I thank you from my heart."

As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt; stronger physically, but his faith in God and man was strong also. He had been ready to give up and quit.
Years later that young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where they called in specialists to study her rare disease. Dr. Howard Kelly was called in for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes.Immediately he rose and went down the hall of the hospital to her room.Dressed in his doctor's gown he we nt in to see her. He recognized her at once. He went back to the consultation room determined to do his best to save her life. From that day he gave special attention to the case.

After a long struggle, the battle was won. Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked at it, then wrote something on the edge and the bill was sent to her room.She feared to open it, for she was sure it would take the rest of her life to pay for it all. Finally, she looked, and something caught her attention on the side as She read these words...
"Paid in full with one glass of milk." (Signed) Dr. Howard Kelly.
Tears of joy flooded her eyes as her happy heart prayed: "Thank You, GOD, that Your love has spread abroad through human hearts and hands."

God bless!!!

Dont wanna wait forever

I never thought I'd miss you so much.
I never thought I'd miss you enough.
To try and find a way back to you
is somethin' that I never thought I would do.

With every little word that you say
you brighten up the darkest of days.
First time that your eyes met mine
I knew it was my time.

Every little smile that you give
is givin' me a reason to live.
All I ever really wanted to do
is give my heart and soul to you.

No matter, girl, when all is said and done.
You've always known that you are the only one.
Given half a chance to make you see
there could be heaven for you and me.

But I don't wanna wait forever.
Can't wait no more.
And I swear I've never felt this way before.

Gonna make it last forever, that's for sure.
I long for your tender touch.
Tell me, am I, am I asking too much?

You sit and watch the rising of the sun,
thinkin' about things that we have done.
Think about being alone
with the only true love I've ever known.

Sweet nothings that you whisper to me,
the way you touch me so tenderly.
The brightest star in the sky bears your name.
My only wish is to hold you.

Every little smile that you give
is givin' me a reason to live.
All I ever really wanted to do
is give my heart and soul to you.

Must I wait forever, baby?I need to know
that some day soon we will be together.
Must I wait forever?
How long for your tender touch?

But I don't wanna wait forever.
Can't wait no more.
And I swear I've never felt this way before.
Gonna make it last forever, that's for sure

Something about life

Lying in bed, I was asking myself, what are some of the secrets of success in life?
I found the answers right there, in my very room.
The fan said: be cool.
The roof said: aim high.
The window said: see the world.
The clock said: every minute is precious.
The mirror said: reflect before you act.
The calendar said: be updated.
The light said: shine as bright as you can.
The wall said: stand firm.
The door said: push hard for your goals.

Something to be shared!
