happy living

every day is not the same

The small frustrations and irritations wield such power over us because they rob us of the illusion of control. But every problem is a potential teacher—a confusing situation is an opportunity to practice mindfulness, and difficult people provide us with opportunities to display compassion. There is a natural human tendency to invest copious amounts of emotional energy in minor dilemmas and frustrations in order to avoid confronting those more complex issues that are largely outside the realm of our control. The intensity of our response provides us with a temporary sense of personal power that helps us cope with challenges that might otherwise overwhelm us. But it is only when we let the little stuff go that we discover that the big stuff is not really so devastating after all.

In the stress of a singularly tense incident, differentiating between an inconsequential annoyance and a legitimate challenge can seem a monumental task. Ask yourself whether the emotions you are feeling will be as vivid in a year, a day, or even an hour. As focused as you are on this moment in time, your reward for letting go of your emotional investment may be the very happiness and harmony of being whose loss you are lamenting. Needless aggravation is seldom worth the cost it exacts. You cannot distance yourself from life's inconsistencies, irritations, and upheavals, but you can relinquish your desire for perfect order and gain peace of mind in the process.

Once there in 1987 lived a man named shankar pillai who lived his life selling hats..his was a job which was not perinnial he had to run from post to pillars to sell hats . the best time for his sales was during summer when the scorchung sun would not let anyone get out without a hat .so one such day our shankaran pillai went seling his hats and by noon wen the sun was was at its best emitting heat ray,he settled down under the shadow of a tree opened his pack of lunch and ate ,feeling tired now he carefully placed the hat next to him and slept .
when he woke up he din't find his hats, worried , he looked around the place but found nothing then he looked up he saw all monkeys over there had his hat perfectly placed on their heads , not knowing wat to do he cried at the monkeys he yelled and shouted, the monkeys in return yelled,shouted and cried back .. he threw stones at those monkeys and in return they threw what ever they could fetch. Disgusted shankaran pillai flunked his hat hard on the ground, the very next second the monkeys too flunked thier hat down and pillai happily picked it up and ran away
In 2007 there happened to live another shankaran pillai (the grand son of our old pillai )who lived selling hats and on one fine summmer pillai slept under a tree and when he woke up there was no hat . he quickly looked up he saw monkeys holding the hats .. but this time pillai had all the fun he wanted with the monkey before trying the last trick .. he made funny faces , the monkeys made funnier faces and he imitated the monkeys and monkeys imitated him and finnally he flunked his hat hard on the ground the very next second a baboon descended down and took the hat and walked upto pillai and gave him a tight slap and muttered "u think only u had grandfathers "

gross meaning : dont be repetative

moral: the results of same action would not fetch u the same fruit in a karmic cycle

Heaven and Hell (spirituality)

Heaven and Hell
A man ,his horse and his dog were travelling down a road . when they were passing by a gigantic tree ,a bolt of lightening struck and they all fell dead on spot.
But the man did not realise tat they already left the world , they kept walking wit 2 animals (some times the dead take time to understand their condition) the journey was very long ,uphill and the sun was scorching and they were covered with sweat and they were very thirsty. They desperatly needed some water.
At a point they came across a bend in the road they spotted a magnificient gateway ,
all in marble,
which led to a square paved with blocks of gold and with a fountain in centred that spouted forth crystalline water with honey and milk.
the traveller went upto a man gaurding the gate
"good morning"
"good morning",answered the man.
"wat is this beautiful place"?
"this is heaven"
"how good to have reached , we're very thirsty"
"you can come in and quench ur thirst ", responded the gaurd pointing the fountain"
my horse and my dog are thirsty too"
"sorry we dont allow animals in here"the man was very dis appointed b'cos his thirst was great , but he could not drink alone;he thanked the man and went on his way.

After travelling a lot,they reached a farm exhausted , the entrance had an old wooden door that open onto three dirt road .a man lying down in the shadow of one of the trees , looked like a gaurd resting
"good morning"said the traveller the man lying nodded"
"we're very thirsty -me ,my horse and my dog".
"there is a spring over in those stones "pointing the spot "drink as much as u like".
the man, the horse and the dog went to the spring and quenched their thirst.
then the traveller went back to thank the gaurd."by the way ,wats this place called ?"
"heaven".
"heaven? but the gaurd at the marble gate said that was the heaven."
"that's not heaven,that's hell"the traveller was puzzled.
"you've got to stop this! all this false information must cause enormous confusion"

the man smiled :"not at all . as a matter of fact they do us a great favour.b'cos over there stay all those who are even capable of abondoning their best pals and loved ones.."


moral : spirituality and faith to god is parallel to love and affection to fellow being.

each day is a BLESSING to me

Each day is a new beginning given by God
I am reminded how blessed I am as this road I tread.
A new friendship comes to mind and it is my treasure.
Watching a child at play is my greatest pleasure.
Being able to help a fallen soul willbe my greatest joy.
Watching a bird build a nest while the world searches for rest.
I am reminded I am only a small part of his plan.
When skies are blue or gray you are always there beside me.
I am reminded of God's love at the site of a rainbow after the rain.
When I see the flag I'm reminded of the freedoms I share.
I remember God's love to me when I suffer much pain.
As the clowns come to town I am grateful I'm able to laugh.
I'll share your heavy load to let you know I care.
I am reminded day by day we have much to share.

"I" its all about "I"

life… or living……????
life is a science

living is an art
with the presence of “I”

life is darkpower, superior, ego
why not let these words go??

they exist in life
with the presence of “I”

just forget the word “I”
and feel the difference in life

a splash of thunder
life becomes a wonder

your life will become alive
but ..
only if you strive…
and only if you strive

living-faith-happiness

A hawk hovers in the air.
Two white gulls float on the stream.
Soaring with the wind, it is easy
To drop and seize
Birds who foolishly drift with the current.
Where the dew sparkles in the grass,
The spider’s web waits for its prey.
The processes of nature resemble the business of men.
I stand alone with ten thousand sorrows.


Often your tasks will be many,
And more than you think you can do,
Often the road will be rugged,
And the hills unclimbable too,
But always remember, the hills ahead,
They are never steep as they seem,
For nothing in life that is worthy,
Is never too hard to achieve,
If you have the courage to try it,
And the faith to believe,
For faith is a force that is greater,Than knowledge, or power or skill,
And many defeats turn to triumph,
If you trust your wisdom and will,
For faith is a mover of mountains,
There is nothing you cannot do,
So start out with faith in your heart,
And climb till your dreams come true.


happy
Live and let live and be happy,
Love and let be gay,
Smile at every frown you see,
Life is really better that way!
Color your days full of sunshine,
Color your skies full of blue,
Live and let live and be happy!!
Now is the time that wind and rainbring blooms white over white.
And the twigs bear again blossoms white white and bright.
so nice when the morning breeze
will awaken roses and dills
and will the old almond trees
greet the now snowy hills.
on mighty hills, on shiny lands
in placid enormous sea
time is going the sea stands
so is the love living in me
long is your love living with me
