How you see it does
not make any difference to it, but it makes all difference to you!
How you see a place, say a temple makes a difference to you.
Some many see it as a stone, some as a sculpture, and some as divine! How you
see it does not matter to it, it makes a difference to you! You can apply it in all aspects of life.
Mondays should be
your holy days:
If you see work
as a place where you can earn money that is all it will remain. If you consider
work as worship, then it will become an alternate temple to you! How you go to
the office matters a lot. Unpolished shoes, uncombed hair, unshaven beard ...will
you go for a date like this? How you see a place of work does not make a
difference to the place of work, it makes all difference to you. So, Mondays
should be your holy days.
You should look forward to Mondays. We should stop
celebrating Fridays. If you have to build a new world of abundance, look
forward to Mondays… TGIM: Thank God it is Monday. Whether you see a Monday as
curse or blessing does not make any difference to Monday but to u.
If I need holistic abundance in life, I need materialistic
abundance in life, work has to be a sacred part if my life. If work has to
sacred part if my life, then Mondays are my sacred days. TGIM: You look forward
to work; you look forward to Mondays that is how you magnetize abundance in
life. So, your place of work is as sacred as a place of worship. You will be d greatest
beneficiary in the entire process.
Don’t return from holiday and say “O God I have to go back
to work”. Happily say “I have to go back again so that I can go on a holiday next
year. This holiday was possible because of the work”
How you see your spouse:
- If you see your wife as somebody
who has to take care of aged parents, then you have a licensed nurse in your
life
- If you see your wife as somebody
who has to sacrifice everything for the upbringing of your children, then
you have a licensed baby sitter
- If all that matters to you
is the way she cooks, if is all the is important to you is that she always
services the needs of your tongue, then you have a licensed cook.
- If you have lot of tension
in life, when I come home I might bark, I might scream, I might come home
drunk, I might smoke, I will do whatever I want, then you have licensed psychologist in your home
“Somehow I feel more complete in your presence than even
when I’m with myself, nothing completes me like you complete me”. If that is
how you see your spouse, you don’t have a licensed relationship, you will have
a friend for lifetime, and you have a soul mate in life. How you see your
spouse makes all the difference to you. How
you see your spouse makes small difference to him/her makes all the difference
to you. You can apply this everywhere.
How you see your dads
photo:
The photo is just there on the wall, but I believe my dad is
still with me always even though he is not embodied anymore then Your father is
an Eternal God to u.
Your sons photograph:
Looking at a photograph of your child, if someone says “It
is just digital impression created in Kodak paper”, you will surely be pissed
off. It is how you see things that
matters.
If a photograph is your son, if a piece of cloth represents
your country, if you see a shoe sign you say it is Nike, If yellow is Chennai super kings, Red and blue
is Delhi Dare devils, If purple is Kolkata is knight riders, Then granite is
God. How you see a thing makes no difference to the thing but it makes all the
diff to u.
How you see your Body:
This body, if you see this as yours you will abuse it. Because
it was given for free we don’t value it. If human body is seen as God’s gift to
man you won’t abuse it anymore. After that nobody has to motivate you to take
care of your health. You will not feed it with junk anymore. Abusing the gift
is abusing the giver. Cherishing the gift is cherishing the giver.
- If knowledge is given as a
gift from the teacher, you will not abuse that knowledge. You will not
become arrogant or egoistic!
- If you look down on India
after going to foreign nations, then understand that it is India who made
you good enough to make you fit for a foreign nation.
Cod liver oil and
puppy:
Doc advised dog owners that cod liver oil is good for puppy.
The moment the bottle is taken puppy will go inside the cot. You used to drag
the puppy from the cot, hold it b/w your legs, open the jaws and put that cod
liver oil here. One day while administering, the bottle spilled and cod liver
oil spilled all over the floor. When you took the mop to clean, you say the
puppy licking the spilled cod liver oil. So, the puppy was not against cod
liver oil, it was against the way it was administered.
Pain and Pleasure:
Studies are not d problem.
The way we teach is d problem. You give 96 square box to a child and ask it to
draw 96 standing lines. Child is very creative. It draws one slanting line from
top to bottom. Mother of the child whips him and asks him to write properly.
Suddenly the child says “Ma, do you know what happened in Chota beam?”. You beat
him for thinking about Chota Beam. Child hears the car sound and says “Dad has
come”. You scold him again. The child feels that during study hour mom becomes
devil. Before and after study hour she becomes angel. Because child has
associated studying to pain and playing to pleasure, it prefers playing.
Your life should be
governed by right and wrong, not pain and pleasure:
You decide to exercise the next day. You feel that exercise
is pain and sleeping is pleasure and you sleep. You embrace pleasure and avoid
pain. If something is painful and your
consciousness says that it is right thing and you do it. If something is
pleasure and your consciousness says that it is wrong and you have to stop
doing it to become a better person.
Animalistic intelligence chooses pleasure and pain whereas human
intelligence chooses right and wrong.
When any one tries to
correct you:
When any one tries to correct you, understand that they
don’t want to find faults with u. They try to make you better. It is you who
benefits in the entire process. The world is trying to give you feedback and it
is trying to make you even better.
Quotes:
Thiruvalluvar said, “Ingratitude should never be an aspect
of you”. Don’t analyze it. Just follow it.
Einstein said, “Live your life as if nothing is a miracle.
Life your life as if everything is a miracle”
Gandhi said, “eventually nothing success as truth
Have abundant dreams:
George Bernard Shaw, one of the greatest orators the world has ever seen said, “The
reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in
trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the
unreasonable man.” you stagnate because you see things that are and ask why...
Progress in life is looking at what is not and asking why not. Because he said
why not
Since some people
asked why not, it resulted in lot of inventions. So, he says have unreasonable
dreams, big dreams. Have abundant dreams.
· Christ started at 30!
·
KFC began at 65!
·
Abraham Lincoln became president at 52!
It is never too late to begin in life. Don’t think ordinary
dreams. Ask why not at look at possibilities in life. Life is slipping. There
is no time.
Sometimes God upsets
my plans to execute his plans:
If Jayalalitha was not humiliated in parliament, she would
not have got the urge to become PM.
If Steve Jobs was not thrown out of his own organization, he
would not have built Apple.
If Mahatma Gandhi was not thrown out of the train, he would
not have thought of Indian Freedom.
What teaching of infinitheism can I apply now?
Work like you have never worked. See work like you have never seen. You are going to move towards materialistic abundance and eventually achieve holistic abundance. In situations which I’m not able to handle, or if you find it too demanding, ask yourself “What teaching of infinitheism can I apply now?”
