OM SAI RAM!

Let us look at the silver lining in our life and try spreading only positive vibrations through this thread:


A friend of mine asked me to come over, she needs me. I listed her, this morning in a healer list.
This friend called me in rescue, she needed to talk about an issue; you know love and distanced relationships. >:(
Well I thought it would be better to be next to her although technology exists and offers nowadays amazing
features to be as close as possible to our friends.

And this thought just came to mind: why do we need to be near the person that needs to talk? Why is it so
important to nearly touch this “healer”? What makes it so different to be in front of this person while she listens
to us though we can chat on msn, videocall (skype), dm on Twitter?

Here is the answer: it’s only because we are human being!! God created us loving, caring to each other.
We have feelings. Getting to feel the shoulders we crying over. Mother Nature is complex and it’s based on
vibration and karma. We all are a part of Mother Nature so we are vibration somehow. We outward positive or
Negative vibrations anyways. When one needs to talk, one needs to be surrounded by positive karma. Only human
being has this karma. :D
   
To be surrounded by computers, cars, heat, loneliness, one will only be surrounded then by???
Yes, you guessed it right!   ;) Negative vibration!

The turnaround - Turn around and go with the flow, don’t linger in the past just let it go...  8)
Don’t stand still & live in the moment without fear or regret, what you put in is what you will get...
One day at a time. :)

Our lives are made up of a million moments, spent in a million different ways. Some are spent searching
for love, peace and harmony. Others are spent surviving day to day. But there is no greater moment than
when we find that life — with all its joys and sorrows — is meant to be lived one day at a time.

The answers within you are your most treasured gifts! To access all of the wisdom and knowledge of the
Universe, you must go within and all of the answers to all of the questions you will ever have are there!
Whether it is guidance for money, health, relationships, or even your next steps in life; they are all there
just waiting for you to connect to your higher-self to receive them!

Only by our positive thinking, by our bringing our positive qualities of others to the fore, will we be able to
make progress 

"There is a saying in Tibetan, 'Tragedy should be utilized as a source of strength.' No matter what sort of
difficulties, how painful experience is, if we lose our hope, that's our real disaster." ;D

Now, friends, here is a small daily assignment for all of us, my dear SAI devotees:
;)
 
Life is what we focus on…a glass half full or a glass half empty.

Yes, we all, each of us, have our set of issues, pains, troubles, problems. And at times it gets overwhelming,
beyond us.

But along with this, life does give us little doses of pleasant surprises…to help us carry on…to shift focus
from the empty glass to the part that is full.

Have we all not have had little miracles every day… moments that have lifted our spirits, made us feel wanted
in this world, gave us the feeling of being worthy, brought a little smile on our lips, lifted our hopes, gifted a
lightness to our steps. Moments that seemed `right’.

Come on, I am sure we have cartloads of these….we often miss out because we are so focused on what is going
`wrong’. Burdening our self with regret of the past and worry about the future, we forget to be in the `moment’.

Though small, it is these short moments that light our life with freshness, with hope, with faith. They rekindle
the faith in our heart, faith in life, in love, in goodness, in God.

So, how about sharing these small moments of delight, of hope with others!!!

Can we make a gentle promise with our own self, to focus on atleast ONE good thing that happened
during the day and share the same with the members of this divine forum !!!  :)

JAI SAI RAM!

A wise man once sat in the audience & cracked a joke.

All laughed like crazy. After a moment he cracked the same joke again and a little less people laughed this time.

He cracked the same joke again & again, when there was no laughter in the crowd,

he smiled and said,

"When u can't laugh on the same joke again & again, then why do u keep crying over the same thing over and over again”

'Forget the past & move on'…


Be Blesses!

Things In Life  :) ;) :D

Gratitude: Every night before you go to sleep, recite aloud at least ten things for which you are grateful.

Forgive: Let go of the past. Forgive those who have hurt or angered you. Stop carrying this poison around with you every day.

Love: Be sure to tell those people in your life who mean so much to you that you love them and appreciate them.

Donate: Go through your closets. Anything you haven't worn or used in the past year, box it or bag it and take it to a place where those who are less fortunate will benefit from your donation. Get your children involved!

Praise: Make time to praise. Look for and recognize the good in others.


Be Blessed!
Love & Light!

    Law of the Garbage Truck!  :) ;) :D ;D

    One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport.

    We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us.

    My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches!

    The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us.

    My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was really friendly.

    So I asked, 'Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!'

    This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, 'The Law of the Garbage Truck.'

    He explained that many people are like garbage trucks.

    They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment.

    As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on you.

    Don't take it personally.

    Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don't take their garbage
    and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets.

    The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day.
    Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets,
    so ... Love the people who treat you right.
    Pray for the ones who don't.

    Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you take it!

    Have a garbage-free day!

    What a great and inspiring "Law of the Garbage Truck!" story. Very simply it gives us the valuable message that
    how should we have to think and accordingly behave also. Shaiviji we normally speak a lot about great great things
    but rarely act accordingly. It's my only personnel opinion that it's too easy to say anythings but too difficult to adopt in our life.

    Thank again for this beautiful and inspiring post. Please keep it continued by spreading your clear and pure thoughts.

  • Why worry?   :) ;) :D ;D

    When you are hit down hard
    And you cant go lower
    Why worry?
    Ther’s only one way through now - higher.

    When you are down to your last drop
    You don’t know what to do
    Don’t worry ever
    You’d make it through.

    Life is not a cakewalk
    Neither was it meant to be
    But life’s neither a prison term
    Why worry?
    Aim high.

    When you’d rather be dead
    Than go ahead,
    And feel like sinking to the ground
    Why worry ever, you’d go through sound.

    Life is a cycle no one can contradict,
    Life is a battle go ahead and fight,
    but just don’t forget…………………….
    Why worry?
    U would pull through right.

    Happiness is not something we find, it’s something we create….....

  • Happiness is not something we find, it’s something we create…

    This story is about a beautiful, expensively dressed lady who complained to her psychiatrist
    that she felt that her whole life was empty, it had no meaning.

    So, the lady went to visit a counselor to seek out happiness.

    The counselor called over the old lady, Mary -  who cleaned the office floors.

    The counselor then said to the rich lady " I'm going to ask Mary, here to tell you how she
    found happiness. All I want you to do is listen to her."

    So the old lady put down her broom and sat on a chair and told her story:

    "Well, my husband died of malaria and three months later my only son was killed by a car.
    I had nobody... I had nothing left. I couldn't sleep, I couldn't eat, I never smiled at anyone,
    I even thought of taking my own life.

    Then one evening a little kitten followed me home from work. Somehow I felt sorry for that kitten.
    It was cold outside, so I decided to let the kitten in. I got it some milk,
    and the kitten licked the plate clean.

    Then it purred and rubbed against my leg and for the first time in months, I smiled.
    Then I stopped to think, if helping a little kitten could make me smile, maybe doing
    something for people could make me happy.

    So the next day I baked some biscuits and took them to a neighbor who was sick in bed.

    Every day I tried to do something nice for someone. It made me so happy to see them happy.
    Today, I don't know of anybody who sleeps and eats better than I do. I've found happiness,
    by giving it to others.

    When she heard that the rich lady cried. She had everything that money could buy,
    but she had lost the things which money cannot buy.


    Be Blessed!
    Love &  Light!
    Om Sai Ram!  :)

    RE-BIRTH!!!

  • OM SAI RAM!

    “It isn’t that we dare because things are difficult;
    it is that we don’t dare that they are difficult.


    RE-BIRTH


    I lost a childhood toy …
    but
    have the memory of the person who gave me that gift with unconditional love.

    I lost the privileges and fantasies of childhood …
    but
    had the opportunity of growing and living free.

    I lost a lot of people whom I loved and still love …
    but
    had the affection and now have model from their lives.

    I lost moments of life because I cried instead of smiling …
    but
    I discovered that: it is from planting love that love is harvested.

    I lost many things many times in my life.
    But
    in that “loss,” today I aspire for the value of “gain;” …
    because
    it is always possible to fight for that which we love;
    and
    because there is always time to start all over again.

    It is not important the time of life when you tired.
    Important is that it is always possible and necessary to restart.
    Re-birthing is a new opportunity;
    it is renewing the hopes in life;
    and
    more importantly, it is believing in oneself.

    Did you suffer greatly sometime? …
    that was a time for learning.

    Did you cry a lot? …
    you were cleansing the soul.

    Did you feel spiteful? ...
    it was a lesson on forgiveness.

    At times, were you alone? ...
    it was because you closed the door.

    Were there times you believed everything was lost? ...
    it was simply the beginning of your improvement.

    Did you feel lonely?
    Look around you and you will see people waiting for your smile,
    just to get closer to you.

    Re-birth.


    Today is an excellent day to start a new life project.
    Where do you want to go?
    Look higher, dream higher, desire the best;
    life brings us what we aspire.

    If we think small; the small will come.
    If we think firmly on the best,
    on the positive and we strive for it;
    the best will come in our lives.

    Today is the great mental cleaning day.
    Throw away all that binds you to the past; all that hurts you.
    Discard everything into garbage;
    clean your heart; prepare it for a new life, and for new love;
     for we are passionate.
    We are capable of loving many times,
    because
    we are the manifestation of love.

    Life calls you;
    it invites you to a new adventure,
    a new journey,
    a new challenge.

    This day, promise yourself:
    that you will do anything possible to achieve your objectives;
    trust in life, trust in yourself.

    THANK YOU SAI!
    SAI , PLEASE, BE WITH US ALWAYS!
    BLESS ALL SAI!

    Think for Others !

    Try to think hard before u go down for the answer. 

    Once there was loving couple travelling in a bus in a mountainous area.
    They decided to get down at some place. The couple disembarked and the
    bus moved on. As it moved on, a humongous rock fell on the bus from the
    mountain and crushed the bus to crumbs. Everybody on board was killed.
    The couple upon seeing that, said, "We wish we were on that bus".

    What do you think, why they said so?
    * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *







    Answer!!!!

    If they had remained on the bus instead of deciding to get down,
    the resulting time delay could have been avoided and the rock
    would have fallen after the bus had passed... 


    Think positive in life always
    and
    look for opportunities when u can help others.

    OM SAI RAM!

    Let us look at the silver lining in our life and try spreading only positive vibrations through this thread:


    A friend of mine asked me to come over, she needs me. I listed her, this morning in a healer list.
    This friend called me in rescue, she needed to talk about an issue; you know love and distanced relationships. >:(
    Well I thought it would be better to be next to her although technology exists and offers nowadays amazing

    important to nearly touch this “healer”? What makes it so different to be in front of this person while she listens
    to us though we can chat on msn, videocall (skype), dm on Twitter?

    Here is the answer: it’s only because we are human being!! God created us loving, caring to each other.
    We have feelings. Getting to feel the shoulders we crying over. Mother Nature is complex and it’s based on
    vibration and karma. We all are a part of Mother Nature so we are vibration somehow. We outward positive or
    Negative vibrations anyways. When one needs to talk, one needs to be surrounded by positive karma. Only human
    being has this karma. :D
       
    To be surrounded by computers, cars, heat, loneliness, one will only be surrounded then by???
    Yes, you guessed it right!   ;) Negative vibration!

    The turnaround - Turn around and go with the flow, don’t linger in the past just let it go...  8)
    Don’t stand still & live in the moment without fear or regret, what you put in is what you will get...
    One day at a time. :)

    Our lives are made up of a million moments, spent in a million different ways. Some are spent searching
    for love, peace and harmony. Others are spent surviving day to day. But there is no greater moment than
    when we find that life — with all its joys and sorrows — is meant to be lived one day at a time.

    The answers within you are your most treasured gifts! To access all of the wisdom and knowledge of the
    Universe, you must go within and all of the answers to all of the questions you will ever have are there!
    Whether it is guidance for money, health, relationships, or even your next steps in life; they are all there
    just waiting for you to connect to your higher-self to receive them!

    Only by our positive thinking, by our bringing our positive qualities of others to the fore, will we be able to
    make progress 

    "There is a saying in Tibetan, 'Tragedy should be utilized as a source of strength.' No matter what sort of
    difficulties, how painful experience is, if we lose our hope, that's our real disaster." ;D

    Now, friends, here is a small daily assignment for all of us, my dear SAI devotees:
    ;)
     
    Life is what we focus on…a glass half full or a glass half empty.

    Yes, we all, each of us, have our set of issues, pains, troubles, problems. And at times it gets overwhelming,
    beyond us.

    But along with this, life does give us little doses of pleasant surprises…to help us carry on…to shift focus
    from the empty glass to the part that is full.

    Have we all not have had little miracles every day… moments that have lifted our spirits, made us feel wanted
    in this world, gave us the feeling of being worthy, brought a little smile on our lips, lifted our hopes, gifted a
    lightness to our steps. Moments that seemed `right’.

    Come on, I am sure we have cartloads of these….we often miss out because we are so focused on what is going
    `wrong’. Burdening our self with regret of the past and worry about the future, we forget to be in the `moment’.

    Though small, it is these short moments that light our life with freshness, with hope, with faith. They rekindle
    the faith in our heart, faith in life, in love, in goodness, in God.

    So, how about sharing these small moments of delight, of hope with others!!!

    Can we make a gentle promise with our own self, to focus on atleast ONE good thing that happened
    during the day and share the same with the members of this divine forum !!!  :)

    JAI SAI RAM!
