The link between man & GOD is FAITH.



Professor : You are a Christian, aren’t you, son ?

Student : Yes, sir.

Professor: So, you believe in GOD ?

Student : Absolutely, sir.

Professor : Is GOD good ?

Student : Sure.

Professor: Is GOD all powerful ?

Student : Yes.

Professor: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to GOD to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But GOD didn’t. How is this GOD good then? Hmm?

(Student was silent.)

Professor: You can’t answer, can you ? Let’s start again, young fella. Is GOD good?

Student : Yes.

Professor: Is satan good ?

Student : No.

Professor: Where does satan come from ?

Student : From … GOD …

Professor: That’s right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?

Student : Yes.

Professor: Evil is everywhere, isn’t it ? And GOD did make everything. Correct?

Student : Yes.

Professor: So who created evil ?

(Student did not answer.)

Professor: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don’t they?

Student : Yes, sir.

Professor: So, who created them ?

(Student had no answer.)

Professor: Science says you have 5 Senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son, have you ever seen GOD?

Student : No, sir.

Professor: Tell us if you have ever heard your GOD?

Student : No , sir.

Professor: Have you ever felt your GOD, tasted your GOD, smelt your GOD? Have you ever had any sensory perception of GOD for that matter?

Student : No, sir. I’m afraid I haven’t.

Professor: Yet you still believe in Him?

Student : Yes.

Professor : According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says your GOD doesn’t exist. What do you say to that, son?

Student : Nothing. I only have my faith.

Professor: Yes, faith. And that is the problem Science has.

Student : Professor, is there such a thing as heat?

Professor: Yes.

Student : And is there such a thing as cold?

Professor: Yes.

Student : No, sir. There isn’t.

(The lecture theater became very quiet with this turn of events.)

Student : Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don’t have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can’t go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.

(There was pin-drop silence in the lecture theater.)

Student : What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?

Professor: Yes. What is night if there isn’t darkness?

Student : You’re wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light. But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and its called darkness, isn’t it? In reality, darkness isn’t. If it is, well you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn’t you?

Professor: So what is the point you are making, young man ?

Student : Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.

Professor: Flawed ? Can you explain how?

Student : Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good GOD and a bad GOD. You are viewing the concept of GOD as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, Science can’t even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing.

Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?

Professor: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.

Student : Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?

(The Professor shook his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument was going.)

Student : Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor. Are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?

(The class was in uproar.)

Student : Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor’s brain?

(The class broke out into laughter. )

Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor’s brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?

(The room was silent. The Professor stared at the student, his face unfathomable.)

Professor: I guess you’ll have to take them on faith, son.

Student : That is it sir … Exactly ! The link between man & GOD is FAITH. That is all that keeps things alive and moving.

P.S.

I believe you have enjoyed the conversation. And if so, you’ll probably want your friends / colleagues to enjoy the same, won’t you?

Forward this to increase their knowledge … or FAITH.

By the way, that student was EINSTEIN.

Three Magic Words‏

“Anything Is Possible”
"You cannot dream yourself into a character; you must hammer and forge yourself one."


"The key to failure is trying to please everybody."



"To effectively communicate,
we must realize that we are all different in the way
we perceive the world and
use this understanding as a guide to our communication with others."



"Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever."



One day at a time - this is enough.




"One day at a time - this is enough.
Do not look back and grieve over the past, for it is gone: and do not be troubled about the future, for it has not yet come.
Live in the present, and make it so beautiful that it will be worth remembering."

"See that any time you feel pained or defeated, it is only because you insist on clinging to what doesn't work. Dare to let go and you won't lose a thing except for a punishing idea."

"If things are not going well with you, begin your effort at correcting the situation by carefully examining the service you are rendering, and especially the spirit in which you are rendering it."

Personal Responsibility‏


Watch your thoughts; they lead to attitudes.
Watch your attitudes; they lead to words.
Watch your words; they lead to actions.
Watch your actions; they lead to habits.
Watch your habits; they form your character.
Watch your character; it determines your destiny.
These words tell us that our silent and often subconscious choices shape our future. Every aspect of our lives, at home and at work, can be improved if we use our power to think, reflect, and make conscious choices about our thoughts, attitudes, words, actions, and habits.
Instead, many of us think of ourselves as victims. We complain about our circumstances and what others did to us. Whatever psychological comfort there is in feeling powerless and blameless when things aren't going right, in the end, victims lead unsatisfied lives.
We're most vulnerable to victimitis when we're under the influence of powerful emotions like fear, insecurity, anger, frustration, grief, or depression. These feelings are so powerful; we believe our state of mind is inevitable. Our only hope is they will go away on their own. Yet it's during times of emotional tumult that using our power to choose our thoughts and attitudes is most important. We can't make pain go away, but we can refuse to suffer.
Even when we don't like any of our choices, we do have some -- once we realize we can take control. It isn't easy, but what we do and how we choose to feel about ourselves has a profound impact on the quality of our lives. Victims may get sympathy for a while, but that isn't enough.
Taking personal responsibility for our happiness and success can be scary, but the payoff is enormous. Although we can't make our lives perfect, we can make them better -- usually a lot better.


Happiness or Misery


Happiness or Misery — You Choose

There is a story of a 92-year-old lady who was moving into a nursing home.
As she was being wheeled down the corridor, the attendant began to describe the room.
“I love it,” the old woman gushed.
“But you haven’t even seen the room yet,” the attendant reminded her.
“That doesn’t have anything to do with it,” she replied.
“Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time. Whether I like my room or not doesn’t depend on how the furniture is arranged.
It’s how I arrange my mind.”



Happiness Consciously or Unconsciously


"Consciously or unconsciously, every one of us does render some service or other.
If we cultivate the habit of doing this service deliberately,
our desire for service will steadily grow stronger,
and will make, not only our own happiness,
but that of the world at large."



The world A reflection of 100 Mirrors


The House of 1000 Mirrors
Long ago in a small, far away village, there was a place known as the House of 1000 Mirrors. A small, happy little rabbit learned of this place and decided to visit. When he arrived, he bounced happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house. He looked through the doorway with his ears lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it could. To his great surprise, he found himself staring at 1000 other happy little rabbits with their tails wagging just as fast as his. He smiled a great smile, and was answered with 1000 great smiles just as warm and friendly. As he left the house, he thought to himself, "This is a wonderful place. I will come back and visit it often."
In this same village, another little rabbit, who was not quite as happy as the first one, decided to visit the house. He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he looked into the door. When he saw the 1000 unfriendly looking rabbits staring back at him, he growled at them and was horrified to see 1000 little rabbits growling back at him. As he left, he thought to himself, "That is a horrible place, and I will never go back there again."
All the faces in the world are mirrors. What kind of reflections do you see in the faces of the people you meet?

Moral-Never judge anyone

A doctor entered the hospital in hurry after being called in for an urgent surgery. He answered the call asap, changed his clothes & went directly to the surgery block. He found the boy’s father pacing in the hall waiting for the doctor. On seeing him, the dad yelled:
“Why did U take all this time to come? Don’t U know that my son’s life is in danger? Don’t U have any sense of responsibility?”

Th…e doctor smiled & said:
“I am sorry, I wasn’t in the hospital & I came as fast as I could after receiving the call…… And now, I wish you’d calm down so that I can do my work”

“Calm down?! What if your son was in this room right now, would U calm down? If your own son dies now what will U do??” said the father angrily

The doctor smiled again & replied: “I will say what Job said in the Holy Book “From dust we came & to dust we return, blessed be the name of God”. Doctors cannot prolong lives. Go & intercede for your son, we will do our best by God’s grace”

“Giving advises when we’re not concerned is so easy” Murmured the father.

The surgery took some hours after which the doctor went out happy,
“Thank goodness!, your son is saved!” And without waiting for the father’s reply he carried on his way running. “If U have any question, ask the nurse!!”

“Why is he so arrogant? He couldn’t wait some minutes so that I ask about my son’s state” Commented the father when seeing the nurse minutes after the doctor left.

The nurse answered, tears coming down her face: “His son died yesterday in a road accident, he was in the burial when we called him for your son’s surgery. And now that he saved your son’s life, he left running to finish his son’s burial.”

Moral-Never judge anyone….. because U never know how their life is & what they’re going through”

Power Of Words Over Water


A Confirmation that there is Life and death in your tongue
and God even tells us to choose Life

The Power Of Words Over Water
Can water be affected by our words?
Dr. Masaru Emoto, a Japanese scientist, believes so… And he has proof!

Dr. Emoto took water droplets, exposed them to various words, music, and environments, and froze them for three hours. He then examined the crystal formations under a dark field microscope. And he took photographs.
The results were totally mind-blowing…

Here’s a photo of ordinary water without any prayer spoken over it. The molecular structure is in disarray.


The photo below is water after the prayer was said. It’s simply breathtaking.


 
Dr. Emoto also exposed water to…
 
Heavy Metal music

 
 
Classical music and folk dance music…

 
 
Next, Dr. Emoto continuously spoke the following words to a water sample:
“You make me sick. I will kill you.”
Here’s what the frozen water droplets look like under the microscope…


 
Below is how water looked when the word “Love” was continuously spoken to it.
The difference is amazing.


 
This is Polluted water…

 
This is water from Lourdes , France . Utterly beautiful, right?

 
Wait A Minute—
Aren’t You Made Up Of Water???
Yes! 72% of your body is made up of water.

Imagine how your words affect your own body.

When you say, “I’m a failure,” or “I’m hopeless,” or “I won’t get well,” imagine how these words weaken your health.

So make a choice to only speak positively.  Don’t deride yourself for not achieving your goals, or for the failures you may experience – rather remember what a special person you are and that God has a great plan for your life!
It’s not only water.

Dr. Emoto also experimented with cooked rice.

He placed one cup of cooked rice in two airtight jars. On one jar, he wrote, “I love you,” and on the other, “You fool.”
Everyday for 30 days, Dr. Emoto would say these words to each jar of rice.
After 30 days, the “I love you” rice was still white. But the “You fool” rice was so rotten, it was black. How can you explain this?


When I was a child, my mother taught me to pray before meals. Now I realize it wasn’t just a nice thing to do. When I pray over my meal, I know a material transformation takes place in the molecular level of the food that I pray for. I say, “Be blessed,” to the water and food on the table—and the food in front of me becomes spiritualised.

I encourage you to speak words of truth.

Dethrone the lies in your mind.

Say, “I’m a wonderful person”, “I have a great future”, “I’m strong”,  “I’m blessed”!

Use your words to create your desired reality.

May your every dream come true!
God bless!
Have a beautiful day!

A Lovely Good Day!



I got this encouragement from a friend this morning and would like to share it with you.







Me (in a tizzy) : God, can I ask you something?

GOD: Sure.

Me: Promise you won't get mad?

GOD: I promise.

Me (frustrated): Why did you let so much stuff happen to me today?

GOD: What do you mean?

Me: Well I woke up late,

GOD: Yes

Me: My car took forever to start,

GOD: Okay....

Me (growling): At lunch, they made my sandwich wrong and I had to wait



GOD: Hmmmm..

Me: On the way home, my phone went dead, just as I picked up a call

GOD: All right

Me (loudly): And to top it all off, when I got home, I just wanted to soak my feet in my foot massager and relax, but it wouldn't work. Nothing went right today! Why did you do that?

GOD: Well let me see..... the death angel was at your bed this morning and I had to send one of the other angels to battle him for your life. I let you sleep through that.
 
Me (humbled): Oh...

GOD: I didn't let your car start because there was a drunk driver on your route that might have hit you if you were on the road

Me (ashamed): ............

GOD: The first person who made your sandwich today was sick and I didn't want you to catch what they have, I knew you couldn't afford to miss work
Me (embarrassed): Oh.....

GOD: Your phone went dead because the person that was calling was going to give a false witness about what you said on that call, I didn't even let you talk to them so you would be covered
 
Me (softly): I see God

GOD: Oh and that foot massager, it had a short that was going to throw out all of the power in your house tonight. I didn't think you wanted to be in the dark.
 
Me: I'm sorry God.

GOD: Don't be sorry, just learn to trust me.........in all things, the good and the bad

Me: I WILL trust you God

GOD: And don't doubt that my plan for your day is always better than your plan

Me: I won't God. And let me just tell you God, thank you for everything today.

GOD: You're welcome child. It was just another day being your God and I love looking after my children.

Forgiveness and the Ability to Love


The Beauty of Forgiveness

What is forgiveness?
Where does all the beauty of the world come from? Do we have to take peace and prosperity in this world for granted? What if peace and tranquillity was just a new song from the blue? All these aspects and crucial part of this beautiful world we are living in would not have come by or reached where they have had it not been the little peace and love portrayed among the beloved brothers and sisters living in this global village and a home to many of the beautiful cultures allover the world. With the ever ending civil conflict which is just due to the multiplicity of the elements and due to the fact that man is a social animal and the fact that there is always competition among the species for survival for the fittest and the role of the superior race and culture, many a times  people have just not been able to resolve many of the worlds simple conflicts just because of the fact that we are yet to unlock the secrets of being able to live in harmony and that can only be done by letting things go despite when we are being wronged.

While forgiveness can be defined in many ways such as granting pardon to our beloved friends who have wronged us, abused us and we stop to blame them for all what they have done unto us. When people forgive in this beautiful world, people need to do it freely. Forgiveness should come from the heart freely and with no reservation of the heart or of the mind.
Absolve  exonerate Forgive

Must I practise Forgiveness as a human?
What is this myth about forgiveness. Well many beautiful people say Forgive and you will be forgiven as well. Who doesn’t want to be forgiven in this beautiful world.  With many decades gone, Shakespeare once said “We make 100 Mistakes daily, but we do not hate ourselves. Our friend only  makes 1 mistake and we hate him in 1 second” Think about it. People say forgive and you will be forgiven.  Forgiveness is just an option which people should opt to be doing all the time and they should not grow weary of it. By the  way when you tend not to want to forgive, its just one way of eroding your body day by day. Just as H CL which is very corrosive to any metal. While a container which is filled with H CL  will shine from the outside but the entire container from the inside will be eaten slowly . What should  we be burning from inside in this beautiful world while we can learn to forgive. 


We all need love everywhere we go. People need to be appreciated in all aspects of life. There are those who excel in doing things and there are those who need a helping hand a swell. With disparities in education communication and information available, these areas of haves and have not are just some of the given dynamics which lead to people to realise that there are always areas where people can cooperate and when that cooperation is evident, minds do differ  and  as a result words are always exchanged. The ensuing events are always disagreements which can lead to peoples hearts and feelings being hurt.  With little realisation that people are different and some people cannot take the heat more than others its just right and appropriate to create peace and maintain peace wherever possible and those who can initiate it and keep it moving is just one step or creating this world and the community a better place to live in.

What if I don’t forgive?
Would there be peace if there was no forgiveness within our communities? How would the world be if people do let bygones be bygones? I guess when people just don’t want to forget they just don’t forgive. When we don’t forgive, there is always a connection reminding us what has been going on and the long lasting effects is that people take all their grudges to the grave as well. With the act of not forgiving, it can start from the family and close friends which we associate with, The unforgiving then extends to the society and the people we work and associate  with  or work and community and the environment. Does the act of unforgiving end there/ Well as far as many of those who have been oppressed or condemned by the modern society you get that the governments and the ruling elite as well the haves and have not just contribute to the circle of people who just don’t want to be forgiven. In the real sense there are many economical social and political situations which make the individual not want to forgive. Just remembering the intentional suffering which one could have been lead do endure just creates the environment not to forgive. Given the fact that the person , group or association is just complex and dynamic to pinpoint an individual who are concerned in the upheavals of the society which creates the the feeling of not wanting to forgive.
People wrong us every day and its
While we are being wronged every day, we should have the heart to be able to withstand all the intended and unintended happenings which do make us angry and when you get annoyed, the act of forgiveness should be there ready to close the chapter and start again. While all the clergy and different cultures and ethical groups stand for forgiveness, it is always difficult to interpret what is written in the  Holly books. While people take the scriptures and quote what fits for them, the interpretation of  “ A tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye” are just some of the interpretation which do not leave room for

How Can I really forgive .
Can people really forgive and forget. Just like an open wound which heals after some good care and medication,  its just that part of our minds which with every new moment gives pleasure and satisfaction to an individual  its just the part of our mind which when we associate any event or moment which triggers the mind to react in such a way. If one has been taught to forgive as it is divine to do and we have always been told to forgive as may times as we can as humans are people who when overwhelmed with different situations or events, there are many aspects which just trigger people to react the way they do and the solution is just to explode and where there are always different of opinions there will always be conflict which when not resolved in the civilised way, there are always repercussion and these would still be followed by forgiveness and the act of being forgiven as well.  Forgiveness or when someone needs to forgive someone, it might not just take place at once. Well when everyone realises what were the events relating to such a situation, one has to come to terms that the other party did so with the realisation that he was doing something wrong  or was not aware because of not being informed or jut because there was negligence from someone else and there by leading to the present event which would later require the two parties to forgive one another and let bygones be bygones.




Is Forgiveness too easy on an offender?
There are peaceful aspects on people which need to be realised


Forgiveness voluntary decision

The old age and the new age Forgiveness
Our contemporary forgiving style

When you practise forgiveness.
When you practise forgiveness, its just one of the day today obligation which has been grounded in our heads from as long as humans can remember. We have always been forgiven many times when we do something wrong and the same practise or virtue is also extended to us. Whether it is our birth right to be forgiven as we keep on forgiving others, there is always a distinction for the ones who need to be forgiven and the ones who do not or just don’t feel the need of being forgiven after intentionally  doing wrong. Its only when someone realises his or her mistakes and asks for forgiveness which will come the urge of being wanting to be forgiven. Despite the complexities with pride and general will and well being of the people, Loosing face and keeping face is just one area which let people not to take the initiative to forgive and to be forgiven.
The bridge of forgiveness.
There is always dissatisfaction on the person who forgives and the person who has been forgiven. Being in the shoes of the person being forgiven means something for the kind act which one does willingly and sometimes which condition which could be as a condition to show your outstanding of the situation. For many who are forgiven, their lives should set forth new avenues to realise where they have been and where they have come from. The new life or episode after the act of doing harm or wrong is something which needs to be put in the mind and later be sent out of the mind once and for all.
