The Greatest Revolution
in our Generation is the
Discovery that human beings
by changing the inner
Attitude of their minds
can change the outer
aspects of their lives!
:- William James
when you really want something then the whole world conspires in helping you to achieve it
Desire
Desire brings all misery because desire leads to more desires.
God + Desire = Man
or
Man - Desire = God
Determination
The first and last thing one has to do in this world is to last in it and not be smashed by it.
Think of a postage stamp.It sticks till it gets to the destination.
Disappointment
Disappointment comes only to those who make appointments with future.
Life is full of disappointments.Keep your sanity and you'll survive them all.
Discipline
He who reins over himself and rules over his desires is more than a king.
Discretion
Think what you like,say what you ought.
You can not be anything if you want to be everything.
Discrimination
Be patient while analysing and impatient while executing.
The power of discrimination is what discriminates a human being from animals.
If you have too many jobs to do at once,sit back and pick the three most important ones.
There is no indigestion worse than that which comes from having to eat your own words.
Divinity
Let your hands and legs function but let a part of your mind steadily hold to the idea of the Divine essence in you.
The divine qualities are the means and Godhood is the end.
To attach ourselves to the Divine is to detach ourselves from the undivine.To walk into light is to walk out of darkness.
Doubt
We know accurately only when we know little; with knowledge doubt increases.
Education
Education is a progressive discovery of our ignorance.
Education which does not build character is worthless.
He who opens a school closes a prison.
The essence of education lies in drawing out the very best that is in you.
They know enough who know how to learn.
Efficiency
Do not try to do two or more things at a time.
Do not put unreasonable demands on your attention span.
Efficiency is the capacity to bring proficiency into expressions.
I f you want to get a thing done, give it to the busiest executive.
The time spent to organise your work will be paid back by improved efficiency.
Effort
A hard job full of impediments, is more satisfying than an easy job.
Active mind can not exist in an inactive mind.
No one can do better than his best. So doing best is the only option.
People seldom see the painful steps to the success.
You never know what you can do till you try.
Ego
The difference between running a business and ruining a business is ‘’I’’.
Do you wish men to speak well of you? Then never speak well of yourself.
One nice thing about egoists; they do not talk about others.
The attitude of egolessness is the secret of unveiling he nobler and the dynamic in us.
Energy
An atom has tremendous energy think of the man.
Enjoyment
Enjoy the world in a disinterested way.
Enthusiasm
An easy task becomes difficult when you do it with reluctance.
Enthusiasm in our daily work lightens effort and turns labour into pleasant tasks.
Loss of enthusiasm is like a premature death. It is like accepting defeat without being defeated.
Error
The fellow who never makes a mistake takes his orders from the one who does.
The greatest error you can make in life is to be in fear of committing an error.
To error is human, to persist in error is devilish.
Evil
The only cure for evil is unselfishness.
Darkness is less light;
Impurity is less purity;
Evil is less good.
Returning good for evil destroys the evil.
Examination
The examination of life begins when the life of examination ends.
Example
Any fact is better established by two or more testimonials than by a thousand arguments.
Between saying and doing one often wears out a good pair of shoes.
Example is always more efficacious than percept.
The smallest good deed is better than the grandest good intention.
Excellence
Either dance well or quit the ballroom.
Those who keep climbing higher in their chosen work attain excellence.
Expectation
Life is a mirror and will reflect to the thinker what he thinks into it.
Experience
A prudent man learns from his experience. The wise learns from others.
Life is a series of experiences. Each one makes us wiser.
You have got to do your own growing, no matter how tall your grandfather was.
Failure
A man can fail many times, but he is not a failure until he gives up.
Failure is only the opportunity to begin more intelligently.
To get success, display enough courage to welcome failures.
Men do not fail, they give up trying.
Men fail not so much for the lack of education but for lack of determination.
The greatest failure is the failure to try.
The man who lives only for himself is a failure. The man who lives for others has achieved more success.
The only people who never fail are those who never try.
You may be disappointed if you try and fail, but you are doomed if you do not try.
There is no disgrace in honest failure;
there is disgrace in fearing to fail.
Faith
So long as you have faith in you,nothing will be able to obstruct your way.
Fall
Be ever like a rubber-ball.The more it falls the more it rises.
Fall often as you must,but do not lie down when you have fallen.
Fault
a wise man is one who forgets the faults of others, but always remembers his own.
It is easy to see the faults of others,but not so easy to see one's own faults.
The greatest mark of a man being flawless is that he does not seek flaws in others.
The greatest of faults is to be conscious of none.
Fear
Cowards die many times before their death.The valiant die only once.
Never fear shadows;they simply mean that there is a light shining somewhere nearby.
Do the thing you fear, and fear will disappear.
Those who are protected by Lord,must be above fear.
To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom.
True success is overcoming the fear of being unsuccessful.
Flexibility
It is safe to be flexible enough to see other viewpoints.
Life’s greatest achievement is the continuous remaking of yourself so that at last you know how to live.
The only man who can change his mind is a man who has got one.
The world will not change ,we have to change.
Those who cannot bend, fall with the wind.
Forgiveness
A man who cannot tolerate small things can never accomplish great things.
Forgive many things in others nothing in yourself.
Forgiveness is the secret beauty and fragrance of life.
Good to forgive; best to forget.
Freedom
Freedom is one goal towards which everyone is moving.
Man has freedom already, but he will have to discover it.
Genius
Doing easily what others find difficult is talent, doing what is impossible for talent is genius.
Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.
Goal
An obstacle is something you see when you take your eyes off the goal.
Direction is more important than speed. We are so busy looking at our speedometer that we miss the right direction.
Try not to become a man of success but a man of value.
Goodness
Be not merely good, be good for something.
We can do more good by being good than in any other way.
Gracefulness
Gracefulness has been defined to be the outward expression of the inward harmony of the soul.
God
God is a circle whose circumference is nowhere but whose centre is everywhere.
Who loves all beings without distinction, is worshipping God best.
Gratitude
Gratitude is a duty which ought to be paid, but which none has a right to expect.
It is better to say thank you and not mean it, than to mean it and not say it.
Greatness
A great man is always willing to be little.
Great minds have purpose, others have wishes.
Great men never make everyone feel small; they make everyone feel great.
Growth
Growth must proceed from within.
Habit
Habit is either the best of servants, or the worst of masters.
The only remedy for the bad habit is a counter habit.
Sow an act and you reap a habit, sow a habit and you reap a character, sow a character, and you reap a destiny.
First we make habits and then habits make us.
Happiness
Accept sorrow and failures to enjoy happiness.
Happiness is a perfume which you can not pour on others unless you have some on you.
Happiness is never perfect until it is shared.
Happiness is not in this heaven or in that heaven it is with in us.
One should learn to seek his happiness by limiting his desires,rather than in attempting to satisfy them.
It is not the place,nor the condition,but the mind alone that can make anyone happy or miserable.
If one is unhappy it has been of his own thinking and that shows he can be happy if he will.
Real happiness is not in the senses but above the senses.
Help
Best help isto make people help themselves.
God helps those who help themselves.
Help does not come from without, it comes from within.
If you want to help yourself help others and your little self must go.
Hurry
Do not hurry. The more you hurry, the more time you will take.
Idleness
It is better to do the most trifling thing in the world than to regard half an hour as a trifle.
It is better to live one single day in the commencement of strong endeavour than to live a hundred years in idleness and lassitude.
To do nothing is the way to do nothing.
Improvement
Be what you are. This is the first step towards becoming better than you are.
Only by pursuing every accassion when we get it wrong,we can make sure that we get it right.
The largest room in the world is the room for improvement.
We often seem more anxious to defend our performance than to improve it.
You can make others better by being good yourself.
Independence
Get away from the crowd where you can keep you to yourself, if only for a few hours daily.
He travels the fastest who travels alone.
There is no independence quite so important as living with in your means.
Initiative
Even if you are on right track,you will get run over if you just sit there.
The impossible is often the untried.
Inspiration
De-personalization is the secret of inspiration.
No inspiration is worthy untill someone takes action to make it work.
Integrity
A man of integrity will never listen to any plea against conscience.
Integrity is self rewarding.
Intuition
Intuition is different from illusion. It is communication with the supreme.
Knowledge
All knowledge is within us. We have to discover it.
An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.
Real knowledge is one should know that he knows nothing.
Better know nothing than half- know many things.
He who truly knows has no occasion to shout.
The gift of knowledge is the highest gift in the world.
They know enough who know how to learn.
Where there is light, darkness cannot be. Where knowledge has come ignorance must quit.
Learning
A good man is always a learner.
He who adds not to his learning diminishes it.
It is better to make the working environment a learning environment.
Learn from the past to improve future.
Learning is a lifelong process. It continues even thereafter.
The first problem for all of us is not to learn but to unlearn.
We must learn from others. Everyone has something more than us.
What we learn with pleasure, we never forget.
Life
Life is like riding a bicycle.You don't fall off unless you stop pedalling.
Living the right values of life is like building a dam across a river.
The value of life lies not in the length of days,but in the use we make of them; a man may live long,yet live very little.
Listening
Listening is better than speaking.
From listening comes wisdom and from speaking repentance.
How many of us have realised that since we were given two years and one mouth it might be that we were intended to listen twice as much as we speak.
To listen is to 'hear' with an intellectual awareness.
Mind
Mind is a power which is either utilized or not utilized.
Mind is the source of hell and heaven both.
Mind is something which can be controlled when one goes beyond it.
Mind is a path for the meditation and it is the biggest obstacle in the meditation too.
Mind is energized by being thoughtless.
Mind is better utilized by thinking less and relevant and best utilized by thinking nothing.
To be pious is not that we try to think positive, it's a state where we find everything is positive
The teachings of scriptures are meant for the implementation.
