Spirituality â Inspirational Stories ( Part 2 )

We say Newton discovered gravitation. Was it sitting anywhere in a corner waiting for him? It was in his own mind; the time came and he found it out. All knowledge that the world has ever received comes from the mind; the infinite library of the universe is in your own mind. The external world is simply the suggestion, the occasion, which sets you to study your own mind, but the object of your study is always your own mind. The falling of an apple gave the suggestion to Newto

Spirituality Information - A Little Used Secret

Sometimes, the simplest things are the most profound.Many times, the most obvious things are often ignored. A good percentage of the time the most common sense principles are the ones most disregarded. Perhaps, it's because we are so intent on making a living that we forget about making a life.nnOne of the most forgotten principles for personal success is a word ignored by almost everyone--Goodwill. It is a principle so underused, yet so powerful, that it could take us to the

Spirituality Information - He Hurt My Parents And I Loved It ....

It was the most beautiful rose in the entire garden. Yet it was unhappy... This pretty rose wanted to please every person who came to the garden. Visitors to the garden where not allowed to pluck any rose. As soon as anyone would come into the garden this beautiful rose would do everything to gain their attention. It would sway,dance,shout,yell...... It was strange in a way that though this rose was the most pretty one in the entire garden very few people would pass by this r

Spirituality Information - Close Your Eyes As I Am About To ....

I love the words vision and division. It teaches you so much.One helps you see, the other helps you divide. Take your eyes for example. You can see the Sun,moon,people,all the objects of the external world through your eyes but these same eyes also stop you from experiencing the feeling of oneness between you and someone else. These eyes help you see the external world but they also stop you from entering into your internal world..... These eyes facilitate division as much as

Spirituality Information - A Matter Of Time

The past six weeks have been instrumental in teaching me patience. Normally, I'm a very patient person, but every once in a while an event raises its head and says, "Hold still, son, you have a lot to learn about patience and the wonderful things that could happen when you learn the secret of waiting."nnnNow, I must let you know that patience has not always been my strong point. In the days of my youth, I have been known to make quite a fuss when things did not move with the

Spirituality Information - A Little Slice Of Eternity

It was many years ago. The boy was not more than ten years old as he stood beside the man that early morning. They were both standing on the shore of the Atlantic looking east toward the rising sun. The chill morning air caused a slight shiver to run through the boy. The man, seeming to know without even looking, took off his jacket and draped it over the small shoulders of his son. They walked up to the water's edge as the man spoke: "You see that wide expanse of water? It i

Spirituality Information - A Matter Of Chatter

I first met Cindy during my second year of college. It was in the cafeteria where she bumped into me. Yes, she literally bumped into me and her food tray went crashing into everything. I heard her mutter under her breath, "What an idiot!"nnn"Pardon me," I replied, not knowing what else to say, but definitely feeling that it was not my fault.nnn"Oh no," she said, "It's always my fault. I am really so clumsy. I am very sorry."nnnThen I realized that she was referring to herself

Spirituality Information - The Most Powerful Source Of Information !

"You are sweet but very stubborn" my close friend told me ten years back. I was not ready to accept the fact that i was stubborn.Over the years many other people pointed that out to me. They told me "Vish, you say the right things but you hurt people. You have to change your attitude..." I experimented with various ways of changing my attitude but all of them failed. It seemed as if stubbornness was deep rooted in me....After a while i stopped thinking about it as It did not

Spirituality Information - A Matter Of Giving Thanks

In the United States, we just celebrated the "Thanksgiving" holiday. Many other countries have their own versions of "Thanksgiving." But thanksgiving is not something that should be celebrated on one particular day of the year. It is good that a day has been chosen for this, but it is up to each and every one of us to be "giving thanks" all year long.nnnSometimes we look around at our financial situation and think that there is nothing to be thankful for. Other times we glanc

Spirituality Information - A Desperate Matter

Tom was a wonderful human being. He was kind, caring and helpful to all those who sought his assistance. The only problem was that most of us did not like to be around Tom. Much as he tried to be a "good" person, there was always an aura of doom and gloom around him. nnIt didn't matter whether he was speaking with you on the phone or sitting across the table from you, you just would get the feeling that the world was coming to an end or that your life would be in a terrible m

Spirituality Information - A Matter Of Olympian Proportions

I always watch the Olympics on television. I don't mean that I don't want to be at the real goings-on, but generally, that's not possible. Now, mind you, I am not obsessed by it. I just like to watch. I just like to see the champions, the aspiring gold, silver and bronze medal winners. I like the pomp and ceremony, the excitement of a world-class event.nnAs I watched the games of the XXVII Olympiad, I found myself holding my breath as the participants won or lost by mere frac

Spirituality Information - Look What He Did , Just Look !

Yesterday was a fine day, a really great day, at least, the start of it. As is my usual routine, I started the morning writing, then making phone calls. Next, I checked email. There were many-- several from readers of my books. Some took the time to express thanks and wanted to know what other books I had written. They spoke of life-changing insights; they thanked me for providing them the opportunity to read my works. They wanted more. I felt good, really good. nnnIt got bet

Spirituality Information - A Matter Of Knowing That Already

When my son, Jonathan, was much younger,I would try to help him with some of his tasks, whether it was his homework, chores or even just plain, simple advice. Many a time he would look at me in exasperation and say, "I know that, dad." Even when he did solicit my help directly, he would listen, but not "hear" what I had to say.nnnNow,mind you, I do not claim to be a paragon of excellent advice or wisdom, but many of the things I told him would have saved him tremendous amount

Spirituality Information - A Matter Of Moving.

As many times as I've changed residences, moved from one state to another, even moved from country to country, I've been filled with a mixture of apprehension and excitement.nnnFor many of us, just moving from day to day, month to month or year to year creates a similar anxiety or a subtle excitement.It doesn't matter whether we move in time or we move in space,there is one constant -- change.nnnIt seems a contradiction to say that the only permanent thing we encounter in our

Spirituality Information - He Definitely Should Have Been committed

Yes, commitment is what is called for. He never cared whether a Monday fell on a Friday nor did it matter to him if it was raining or dry. His motto was, "I am exactly where I need to be at this time. Just take it easy, it'll all work out just fine." nnnI met him many years ago. Let's just call him Tom. We were in college and he was the roommate of a friend. But they were so different. My friend wanted something out of life while Tom thought that life should bring him all thi

Spirituality Information - Can I Show You How You Can Get God Working For You ?

My little son asks me crazy questions but they make a lot of spiritual sense to me. The other night when i was reading the famous Hindu epic 'Mahabharata' to him he very curiously asked me " Appa(Dad) Which school did Krishna(revered Hindu God) go to ? Which company did he work for?
