The Master

When one Guru was dying, one of his deciple asked him "Guruji, who was your master?"He said, "I had thousands of masters. If I just relate their names it will take months, years and it is too late. But three masters I will certainly tell you about.

One was a thief. Once I got lost in the desert, and when I reached a village it was very late, everything was closed. But at last I found one man who was trying to make a hole in t he wall of a house. I asked him where I could stay and he said 'At this time of night it will be difficult, but you can say with me - if you can stay with a thief’. And the man was so beautiful. I stayed for one month! And each night he would say to me, 'Now I am going to my work. You rest, you pray.' When he came back I would ask 'Could you get anything?' He would say, 'Not tonight. But tomorrow I will try again, God willing.' He was never in a state of hopelessness, he was always happy.

When I was meditating and meditating for years on end and nothing was happening, many times the moment came when I was so desperate, so hopeless, that I thought to stop all this nonsense. And suddenly I would remember the thief who would say every night, 'God willing, tomorrow it is going to happen.'

And my second master was a dog. I was going to the river, thirsty and a dog came. He was also thirsty. He looked into the river, he saw another dog there -- his own image -- and became afraid. He would bard and run away, but his thirst was so much that he would come back. Finally, despite his fear, he just jumped into the water, and the image disappeared. And I knew that a message had come to me from God: one has to jump in spite of all fears.

And the third master was a small child. I entered a town and a child was carrying a lit candle. he was going to the mosque to put the candle there.

'Just joking,' I asked the boy, 'Have you lit the candle yourself?' He said,

'Yes sir.' And I asked, 'There was a moment when the candle was unlit, then there was a moment when the candle was lit. Can you show me the source from which the light came?' And the boy laughed, blew out the candle, and said, 'Now you have seen the light going. Where has it gone? You will tell me!'

My ego was shattered, my whole knowledge was shattered. And that moment I felt my own stupidity. Since then I dropped all my knowledgability.


It is true that I had no master. That does not mean that I was not a disciple

-- I accepted the whole existence as my master. My Disciple hood was a greater involvement than yours is. I trusted the clouds, the trees. I trusted existence as such. I had no master because I had millions of masters I learned from every possible source. To be a disciple is a must on the path. What does it mean to be a disciple? It means to be able to learn. to be available to learn to be vulnerable to existence. With a master you start learning to learn.


The master is a swimming pool where you can learn how to swim. Once you have learned, all the oceans are yours."

A Red Rose

A man stopped at a flower shop to order some flowers to be wired to his mother who lived two hundred miles away.


As he got out of his car he noticed a young girl sitting on the curb sobbing. He asked her what was wrong and she replied, "I wanted to buy a red rose for my mother. But I only have seventy-five cents, and a rose costs two dollars."

The man smiled and said, "Come on in with me. I'll buy you a rose." He bought the little girl her rose and ordered his own mother's flowers.


As they were leaving he offered the girl a ride home. She said, "Yes, please! You can take me to my mother." She directed him to a cemetery, where she placed the rose on a freshly dug grave.


The man returned to the flower shop, canceled the wire order, picked up a bouquet and drove the two hundred miles to his mother's house.

WORTH OF HUMAN LIFE………..

When a child takes birth and start taking breathing on earth… he doesn’t know 4 which community he belongs to, 4 which religion or country he belongs to, but he starts growing up… parents and other family member’s starts saying u belongs to this particular religion, community and country… so listening it again and again his mindset will become narrow…

When he starts moving to outside his home where he met a lot of people from society…….In Society, he learns lot of things but whatever he has been taught at home has an greater impact on his mindset… he used to divide his toys with his own bro-sis at his own home place…. Starts keep saying this is mine… this is yours….. Parent also helps them out in dividing their small small toys… When they grew up then with the same mentality they start dividing their house/Property etc. where they have spent their valuable memorable moments… here is again their parents help them out…. Then their parent starts saying that now our children are not behaving well… this is 9t their children’s fault 100% but their parents are also responsible 4 the same… as they have taught them the same and the balance credit will go to their daughter in laws…. If the parent starts treating her daughter in law as their own daughter and the same shall be applicable on her also…..

Because in the whole universe, only human is the creature who has the power to think, speak and share… still he doesn’t use his own mindset…. He used to do whatever his heart says… somebody has rightly said that if you wanna take any rational decision always use your mind and heart simultenously…. And rather than blaming destiny or God every time think twice where u were wrong…. So it’s better to do Self Realization first then go for God Realization… You’ll get answer of your query by Your Own…

Life is too short so enjoy it fully……

Moral: Always taught your children to that never ever try to divide the things… make them used to saying this is ours not mine. Try to spread Love in each and every relation your life will automatically becomes Happiest and believe in Self Realization.

At this point of time when everything is going very fast... people used to live a life where they are focusing on sources to earn money..... Everyone feels stressed at times. But they even don't have time to share it with their near dear ones due to that they may feel under pressure, worried, tense, upset, sad, angry – or maybe a mixture of uncomfortable feelings. There are many ordinary situations that can make you feel stressed....... For example, your school work may pile up, preparing for exams may seem as if it’s taking forever, you may be being teased or bullied at school, or having problems with teachers. At home you may be arguing with parents, brothers or sisters, or close friends or trouble at work or discord with boss and many outbursts of life....


If you think you have too much stress in your life, it may be helpful to talk with your doctor, spiritual advisor, or local mental health association. Because reactions to stress can be a factor in depression, anxiety and other disorders, they may suggest that you visit with a psychiatrist, psychologist, social worker, or other qualifed counselor.
