 The measure of a man's real character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out.

I’ve learned-
that sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you’re down will be the ones to help you get back up.


I’ve learned-
that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you’ve had and what you’ve learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you’ve celebrated.

I’ve learned-
that no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn’t stop for your grief.

I’ve learned-
that it’s hard to determine where to draw the line between being nice and not hurting people’s feelings, and standing up for what you believe.

I’ve learned-
that people will forget what you said, and people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

If I am impatient to experience the result of my efforts, it is like trying to eat unripe fruit.-BK

[Dipika]

When the door of happiness closes, another opens but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us.


Never say good-bye if you still want to try, never give up if you still feel you can go on, never say you don't love a person anymore if you can't let go.


Don't go for looks, they can deceive. Don't go for wealth, in the end it fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright


The beginning of love is to let those we love be just themselves, and not twist them with our own image otherwise, we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them

Paramhansa Yogananda "Do not get excited or impatient in your efforts to find God. Be wholehearted, but not anxious about getting results. Be patient. Move toward your divine goal ever calmly, with tranquillity."


Paramhansa Yogananda "God doesn't always answer your prayers in the way that you expect, but, if your faith in Him never waivers, He will grant you far more than you expect."


Paramhansa Yogananda "Don't feel badly if you find yourself too restless to meditate deeply. Calmness will come in time, if you practice regularly. Just never accept the thought that meditation is not for you. Remember, calmness is your eternal, true nature."


Paramhansa Yogananda "To those who *think* me near, I will be near."

Paramhansa Yogananda "O Divine Sculptor, chisel Thou my life according to Thy design!"

Paramhansa Yogananda "The spiritual path is twenty-five percent the disciple's effort, twenty-five percent the guru's effort on his behalf, and fifty percent the grace of God."

"True forgiveness is saying with gratitude:
Thank you for giving me that experience so
that I could learn from it."

When a king has good counselors, his reign is peaceful.

Interpreted Meaning: Listen to those that are wiser, more experienced, and have achieved success in their lives in a moral and ethical manner. Then apply what you learn. Don't listen to those who would give you bad advice just to hold you back


The moon moves slowly, but it crosses the town.


Interpreted Meaning: Think of Aesop's story of the Tortoise and the Hare... even if you move slowly toward your goal, you will eventually get there. Fast doesn't always equal best.



Do not step on the dog's tail and he will not bite you.

Interpreted Meaning: Help others and they will help you. If you run rough-shod over others, they will become embittered and bite back.

Smooth seas do not make skillful sailors.


Interpreted Meaning: We learn and grow when times are tough. The lessons learned can then be applied to make things smoother and easier. If you never have opposition, how can you begin to understand what works and what doesn't?

Unless you call out, who will open the door?

Interpreted Meaning: When required, ask for help. You won't receive it unless you let people know that you need their assistance. And when you ask, doors of opportunity often open.


When you see clouds gathering, prepare to catch rainwater.

Interpreted Meaning: This is similar to the saying "make lemonade out of lemons." Be prepared to look for opportunities to "catch" and turn into something useful when you see problems surfacing.



Knowledge is like a garden: if it is not cultivated, it cannot be harvested.

Interpreted Meaning: Too many people gain knowledge in a few or many subjects, but never do anything with that knowledge. What good is it to know something and not use it to better yourself or others from that knowledge? Just filling your head with information is useless unless you put it to good use.

We will water the thorn for the sake of the rose.

Interpreted Meaning: You can't have a beautiful flower like the rose without dealing with some thorns along the way. In the same way, a good life is filled with "thorns" that you need to remove or overcome, but is well worth the effort in the end.

Until the lion has his or her own storyteller, the hunter will always have the best part of the story.

Interpreted Meaning: There are always two parts to every story. The person telling his portion will always be the one to make it sound as if they were the victor against terrible odds - or the victim of some horrible deed. Everyone embellishes their version of a story. You can't know the truth of the matter until you hear the other half. Then, usually the real truth is somewhere in the middle.

The Question Marks Of Life
-Georgia B. Adams

So oftentimes we place on GOD
The question mark of doubt,
Because His dealings, strange and hard,
Are quite past finding out.

When all goes well and life is sweet,
Somehow we feel that He
In this way proves His blessings, and
We dwell in ecstasy!

But lo! When God begins to prune
Our lives for fruitfulness,
When endless trials crowd us in,
And grief begins to press,

In foolishness we misconstrue
The object of His will,
Supposing that our God allows
These problems for our ill.

Ah! Blessed is the man whose path,
Though filled with trials sore,
Resisteth not God's perfect will,
But cleaves to Him the more.

Whene'er we raise the question mark
Of doubt, Lord, help us see
The disciplines of life are meant
To draw us close to Thee.

[Dipika]

Our life is what our thoughts make it. A man will find that as he alters his thoughts toward things and other people, things and other people will alter towards him - James Allen


Trials are but lessons that you failed to learn, presented once again.
So, where you made a faulty choice before, you can now make a better one,
and thus escape all pain that what you chose before has brought to you.
