Success in every sphere of life is almost everyone's ambition. Light is shallow, darkness is deep. Light is always bounded, darkness has no boundaries. Light comes and goes, darkness is always there. Light can be created, darkness can't be created - it is eternal. All this is the same as success and failure. Situations are never the source of failure. It is not the impulse of external which is hurting you but your inner translation is the real cause of pain. Failure always appears to help you to progress; never mind how hard you fall, always remember to pick up and get back on your feet because success lies in being able to get up every time you fall. One who is well armed for the battle of life and possesses good qualities becomes successful and prosperous. A single minute success pays for the failure of years.  No matter how dark the night may be, one small lit candle can dispel the darkness!

HUMAN BIRTH IS RARE! One should not lose this opportunity, human birth is very precious. Only humans have the capacity to worship God, so it is not wise to waste this life for mundane pleasures. It is everyone's duty to keep this body good and healthy. Time decides whom you meet in your life, your heart decides whom you want in your life but your behaviour decides who will stay in your life. I believe we are 100% responsible for how our life turns out. Challenges come to all of us, but we have a choice of how to respond. In every block of wood there is a beautiful statue, you only have to remove the excess material. Whenever you come accross a challenge, look at the other side - you will be surprised to find an easy way to tackle a big problem. Everything in this world happens for a reason, so keep moving forward and live without regrets. There is no need to avoid pleasure for fear of pain as both are inevitable. You didn't bring anything with you, whatever you possess ...

When you deeply think about yourself, some questions pop up in mind -Who am I? Where am I? Why am I here in this cosmos? What am I doing here? What is the purpose of my life?. If you want to understand life, you must read, you must sing and dance and you must suffer the pain and pleasure as well; only then you can understand life. Each person on this planet comes with a specific destiny. He has some message to be delivered, some work has to be completed and then he has to leave this world. Then we call it DEATH. Nothing in this life is as certain as death. Every living thing is bound to die. We appear on this world only to disappear after a short span of time. This is the cycle of terrestrial life, yet we hardly bother about it and continue to live as though we are here forever. Plans and programmes are laid out for years in advance even when no one is sure of what is going to happen tomorrow. The way we hanker after life is the main weakness of our life. It always keeps us restl...

No year passes by without a touch of joy or without posing challenges. You should plan to utilise every moment of joy and see every challenge as an opportunity for growth. A year's end is neither an end nor a beginning but an ongoing process which instills some experiences in our life. End of every year comes with a new beginning. Whether this world is getting better or worse by the passing years doesn't matter. Let us face some facts and decide - Crime, corruption and fraud is increasing.                                                              The population is always on the rise.There is not enough to feed and cloth everyone.             More than a billion people are living in extreme poverty.     There is more hatred and less love.  Young people no longer care for the ...

Pain is an indicator of incorrect action and stress is a positive sign. It unfolds your mental potential and awakens the mind too.Your mind has unlimited capacity but this is in the form of potential.You need to turn this capacity into action so that you can activate your mind  in a positive direction. There must be some reason why God made us imperfect. If not, we would never have made the effort to be better human beings. One who is in pain might think that he is a total failure in life. "SUFFERING IS MADE BY OUR OWN DESIRES". It is better to avoid negative attitude in life. We can turn this suffering into a golden opportunity if we deal it with patience. Another way to deal with suffering is by engaging yourself  in community service or by learning skills to acquire knowledge.The mind needs good nourishment too, like our body. Tension is only the negative name of a positive phenomenon; in fact this is the sign of a healthy life. Every crises comes with an opport...

I wrote a letter to my daughter on her birthday. She lives in Mumbai, so I can't meet her on every memorable day of her life but I want to thank this good source of communication by which we can keep in touch with our loving ones. Also want to share this letter with you-     Dear Priyanka,           It's been 30 years since you set foot in this world. When I held you for the first time in my arms at the hospital , your tiny hands were twitching and your eyes were shut tight. Your clenched fist reminded me of a science lesson that taught us how to get an idea about the size of your heart. I could imagine the little heart throbbing inside you. The eternal miracle of birth.           I feel there are two ways to raise you. One is to wean you on cynicism and live your life pouring scorn on everything you see. The other way is to prepare you to live in this world. Life is very precious and equally fragile. So every day is a...

In every difficulty there is an opportunity. Life is really a choice........    If one door closes another door opens.Question is indeed a sign of strength, but quietness may also help you to achieve strength. Silence is the language of God. Whatever happens will happen, but it's very important to value every minute of your life because you got to live it just once. To live best for yourself ,you must live for others too. Never hurt others by your actions. To build lasting relationships is not an easy thing to do because we always keep looking for comfort zones. This is a grave mistake. A selfless mind can only create a good relationship.     Self realisation activates our innerself, yet it is entirely our own choice to follow the right or wrong path. Desires are like rubber bands. Once a desire is fullfilled, the mind produces many more desires. Then the mind stretches itself and we get tensed. It is very difficult to get rid of anger, greed, jealo...
