Simple tips!

Are we living or ageing?

Putting days into life is ageing. Putting life into days is growing. Ageing or growing is not a an annual phenomenon, but an everyday process. Days when one is not doing anything productive are the days when one just ages. How to put life into days and keep growing? A human being is a multidimensional personality and each of these personalities has its own needs. The physical need is to Live, the mental and intellectual need is to learn, the emotional need is to love and to be loved, and the spiritual need is to 'leave a legacy'. Ensure that every today of your life you address each of these needs, and put life into your today's and grow everyday of your life.

To Live: Exercise your body every day: 1-hour to the body and 23-hours of healthy and fit living.

To Learn: Develop the habit of reading inspirational books and also read scriptures in a language you understand. Learn a new proficiency every year. Let no day end without food for your mind and intellect.

To Love: In small acts and ex-pressions of love, life is made. Visit a friend who is down in spirit. Erase someone's guilt by calling them voluntarily and let them know that you are not carrying the hurt. Visit your teacher when it is not a teachers day. Lend your car to your driver on his wedding day and let him enjoy the privilege of taking his wife on the car. By your care and affection let someone forget that she is an orphan at least for today. The ex-pressions of love are limitless. Find your way today and let your heart melt in love everyday of your life.

To leave a legacy: With passing of every night, a day would pass away and so will your life one day. Your life could end, but your contributions to this planet should transcend your life. Plant a sapling and water a tree. Create a system that will outlive your tenure in the organisation, sponsor someone's education, create an award in the school that you have studied, befriend someone with suicidal instincts and transform him, wipe out the word solitude from someone's life. We all would go, but let us leave behind the spirit of our contributions in this world.

Stop ageing and start growing. Life is to live, to learn and to leave a legacy.

Being Successful is not about amassing more than needed by us. It is not being above the crowd too! It is the act of Creation. Creation that touches someone's life beautifully and has added more meaning, sense and joy to it. It doesn't require even a paisa of yours. It requires your self - that self that goes beyond ME. Are you ready to leave behind a part of yours - as a creation in the world.

I believe success is leaving behind a road that is little more beautiful and little less thorny than it was when i walked passed it. Have I added beauty to the road i walked on? Have i removed atleast few thorns as i walked the road....take this opportunity to bring that beauty around you for you never know - kal ho na ho!

Hello everybody,

I have logged on to the site after a very long time.I wish there were more photos of the Reiki Meet on the Blog. I was at the Meet and experienced the divine and positive energies generated by all present at the meeting. The divine light captured by the cameraman at the time of Homam is truly a miracle.
The Miracle article is a touching story. As reiki channels we have all experienced miracles. We now accept them as a way of life and have taken them in our stride.
The story in " What does God do" reminds us to value the work of the invisible hands around us. "Invisible" in our view because we tend to overlook, lost in our own worlds. They are conspicuous only by their absence. It is necessary for us to acknowledge them from time to time.
The tips given on the occasion of Gurupurnima guide us in becoming ideal disciples. I am truly grateful to my Guruji for holding my hand and gently leading me on to the path of self realisation. All i can say at this moment is "I have miles to go before i sleep"
Thankyou Guruji! Thankyou Reiki!
