Reflection...

Only –
when you think like a student
you can guide like a teacher 
when you feel like the child
you can feed like a mother
when you admire like a fan
you can perform like an artist
when you can love like God
you can seek Him like a devotee!

The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires. -  William Arthur Ward

Teacher: What is a skeleton?
Student: Sir, skeleton is a person who started dieting, but forgot to stop it!!

Know Me, No Me!

Does God exist? - a futile inquiry
so long you see the diverse creation.
‘God does exist in all forms and varieties!
If God is not,
world is your incredible imagination…
for, you can’t ever claim
as creator of real vast, infinite galaxies!’
claims one that has ardent faith in Him

Does the World exist? – ask the nihilists…
‘Empty your mind, there is only emptiness!
If it is all emptiness need there be God?
No creation and no creator!’

Who sees them both?  - asks a vedantin…
‘I’ is the answer with no faltering
When ‘I’ is not in slothful sleep
where is World and who is God?
When you are awake,
One supreme that alone is ‘I’
Itself as variety is the World.
Call It as ‘God’ when you see the world
know It as ‘I’ when you don’t see any!

Leave them both and just ‘Be’
says the enlightened one!

===============================Humor
An education inspector went to a Math class in the school. He gave a stern look at the students and asked: ‘Listen students, if a room’s length is 5’ and width is 10’, what will be my age?’
Bewildered students were clueless.
One student got up and said, ‘Fifty, sir!’
Amused and curious inspector asked, ‘how did you know that?’
He said, ‘My cousin brother is twenty five years old and he is only half mad!’

Does God know You?

On the pursuit to be free
begin by observing what is not
worth pursuing in life…
then reaching a Guru
you develop a strong mind
to discard fascination
for the ephemeral…
‘Mind your senses’
Guru would instruct first
‘sanitize your mind’ is next and
‘engage in the inner quietude…
to stabilize and bear all
sorrows in rise and fall.
Only on developing infinite patience
with faults of you and others
Guru would introduce
God within to you... 
faith in Him grows  proportional
to your trust on Guru
whose every word is for
your contemplation deep
with composed mind,
you develop intense love
for God within while
you seek Him alone.
Final adventure is when
Guru introduces you to God…
for,
without the familiar face of Guru,
would God ever know you?

Whatever there is of God and goodness in the universe, it must work itself out and express itself through us. We cannot stand aside and let God do it. – Albert Einstein
=================================Humor
The phone bill was exceptionally high and the man of the house called a family meeting... on a Saturday morning... after breakfast...
Dad: People this is unacceptable. OK I do not use this phone, I use the one at the office but you too have to limit the use of the phone.
Mom: Same here, I hardly use this home telephone as I use my work telephone.
Son: Me too, I never use the home phone. I always use my company mobile.
All of them now in a state of shock and together they look at their maid who until now is patiently listening to them.
Maid (unruffled) : So - what is the problem? We all use our work telephones!
