10 Golden Words of Lord Krishna

1. Never consider yourself the cause of the results of your activities, and never be attached to not doing your duty.

2. When a person responds to the joys and sorrows of others as if they were his own, he has attained the highest state of spiritual union.

3. Fear not what is not real, never was and never will be. What is real, always was and cannot be destroyed.

4. Set your heart upon your work but never its rewards.

5. Whatever happened, happened for the good; whatever is happening, is happening for the good; whatever will happen; will also happen for good only. You need not have any regrets for the past. You need not to worry for the future. The present is happening. Live in the present.

6. It is better to perform one’s own duties imperfectly than to master the duties of another. By fulfilling the obligations he is born with, a person never comes to grief.

7. The mind acts like an enemy for those, who do not control it.

8. You have the right to work, but never to the fruit of work. You should never engage in action for the sake of reward, nor should you long for inaction.

9. Whatever belongs to you today, belonged to someone else yesterday and it will belong to someone else tomorrow. Don’t be illusioned by maya. Maya is the root cause of all pain and misery.

10. What is the value of a prolonged life which is wasted, inexperienced by years in this world? Better a moment of full consciousness, because that gives one a start in searching after his supreme interest.

We get back in life what we give to others! (Moral Story)

There was a farmer who sold a pound of butter to the baker. One day the baker decided to weight the butter to see if he was getting a pound and he found that he was not. This angered him and he took the farmer to court. The Judge asked the farmer if he was using any measure. The farmer replied, “ Your honor, I am primitive. I don’t have a proper measure, but I do have a scale.” The judge asked, “ Then how do you weight the butter?” The farmer replied, “ Your homour, long before the baker started buying butter from me, I have been buying a pound loaf of bread from him. Every day when the baker brings the bread, I put it on the scale and give him the same weight in butter. If anyone is to be blamed, it is the baker.” What is the moral of the story? We get back in life what we give to others. Whenever you take an action, ask yourself this question: Am I giving fair value for the wages or money I hope to make? Honesty and dishonesty become a habit. Some peopl...

Trust Almighty God!

A businessman was returning home on horseback from the annual fair in a nearby city. He had quite a big sum of money with him. It was raining heavily and the poor man was wet to the skin. He was in a bad mood and grumbled that God had given him such terrible weather for his journey. He entered a thick forest. All of a sudden, to his horror, he found himself face to face with a bandit whose finger was already on the trigger of his gun. He would not have been saved from death, except for the fact that the rain had caused the powder to dampen and the gun was useless. The businessman spurred his horse and happily escaped the danger. When he was out of danger he said to himself: “How stupid I was to moan about the bad weather, instead of accepting it patiently as a gift of God. If there had been a clear sky and the air dry and limpid, I would now be lying in a ditch covered in blood and in vain would my children wait my arrival. The rain which I was ready ...

FAITH CAN DO MIRACLES

A learned scholar of the village was holding a discourse from the verandah of his house. There was a large gathering intently listening to his speech. The theme was the Omkara manthra. “If you keep on chanting Aum with implicit faith, you can even perform miracles. Why, crossing a river will be just child’s play! Go on chanting aum and you’ll be able even to walk on water!” He paused for a few moments to look at the faces of the people in the congregation. They were looking at each other in wonderment. A group of milkmaids from the adjacent village, returning after selling buttermilk, happened to hear what he said about aum. They did not stop by to listen to the rest of the speech, but moved away as they were in a hurry to get back home. However, they decided that they would not take a boat...
