# 037 Western Spiritual Anaemia

Some blood transfusion from the East to the West is a must to save Western science from spiritual anaemia.

# 036 Purpose and meaning of life

Life is not a problem to be solved but a mystery to be resolved.        Sri Ramakrishna

# 037 India is the only millionaire !

"In religion and culture, India is the only millionaire ! There is only one India ! The land of dreams and romance. The one land all men desire to see, and having seen once, by even a glimpse, would not give that glimpse for the shows of all rest of the globe combined." 

Mark Twain

# 035 Vedantic Spirit

"The true Vedantic spirit does not start out with a system of preconceived ideas…. each man has been entirely free to search wherever he pleases for the spiritual explanation of the spectacle of the universe."                                                                            – Romain Rolland, French Nobel Laureate

# 034 Wondrous & Awareness

The question is not about attaining god hood. It is about not losing it. It is already there within you. Most surprising thing in this world is that all human endeavor is directed towards losing it!

First learn to appreciate wonderful nature of things. Then go deep into yourself and remain firmly rooted in the self. Next nurture the quality of understanding the importance of awareness of self.

கேள்வி, தெய்வீக நிலையை அடைவது எப்படி என்பது குறித்து அல்ல. அதை இழந்து விடாதிருப்பது பற்றியதாகும் ! உங்களிடம் ஏற்கெனவே அது இருக்கிறது. அதை இழக்க நீங்கள் பிரயத்தனபடுவதுதான் உலகின் மிகப்பெரிய விந்தைகளில் ஒன்றாக அமைந்திருக்கிறது.

முதலில் வியப்பு உணர்வுக்குள் நுழையுங்கலள். பிறகு உங்களுக்குள் ஆழ்ந்து நிலைபெற்று நில்லுங்கள். அதற்கு அடுத்த படியாக விழிப்பு  உணர்வின் முக்கியத்துவத்தைப் புரிந்துகொள்ளும் குணத்தை வளர்த்துக்கொள்ளுங்கள்.

# 033 Let the new year be graceful

Ring in the new. Ring out the old.

Past is gone. It is there only in our memory. The future is going to unfold and whatever it is going to unfold, let us be ready to receive it.

We want our desires to be fulfilled in the New Year. From our past experience, we know that all our desires do not get fulfilled – some gets fulfilled, some do not. If fulfilled, we are happy. If not, let us not become unhappy. Let us decide to keep equipoise.                           

How to be equipoised? By earning grace.

How to get grace? By prayer, by good deeds and reaching out deeds. Let us just pray. Prayer brings about grace as its result. Let us earn this grace.

Let this year be meaningful and graceful with prayer. May the year give you a lot of grace.

Based on a message from Swami Dayananda Saraswati

# 032 Street sweeper

If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michael Angelo painted, or as Beethoven composed music or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
