A lot of trouble would disappear if only people would learn to talk to one another

instead of talking about one another.....

When people walk away from you, let them go. Your destiny is never tied to anyone who leaves you.

It doesn't mean they are bad people.It just means that their part in your story is over.. !

People nowadays are like Bluetooth.

If you stay close they stay connected.

If you go away they find new devices.


4/38

Firstly, you can know how to solve them.Secondly, you learn how to avoid them in future.

Have faith in GOD and yourself.

Always welcome your problems....

Because problems gives you dual advice..


5/38

Reflection cannot be seen in boiling water.

In the same way,truth cannot be seen in a state of anger.

Analyze before you finalize.


6/38

Success is like a beautiful lover

It will leave us at anytime,

But Failure is like a mother

It will teach us some important lessons of life!


7/38

It is so easy to hurt someone,say Sorry and forget it.

Why is it so difficult to get hurt,say "Its Alright and forget it?

Use the same Yardstick!


8/38

A good heart can win many relationships,

A good nature can win many good hearts.

A good heart and a good nature are two different issues


9/38

When a TOUCH could HEAL a wound

When Eyes could SPEAK volumes

When a SMILE can confirm I AM THERE

then why do we need words to say I LOVE YOU.'


10/38

Past is Experience. Present is Experiment.

Use your Experience from your Experimentto achieve your future results.

Have a nice day! Keep smiling.

Human Life would be perfect if...Anger had a STOP button

Mistakes had a REWIND buttonHard Times had a FORWARD button

and Good Times a PAUSE button

The bird asked the bumblebee:

"You work so hard to make the honey and humans just take it away, doesn't it make you feel bad?"

"No," said the bee, "because they will never

take from me the art of making it."

What stands behind us and what stands before usare tiny matters compared to what is within us.


14/38

The happiness of our livesdepends on the quality of our thoughts.

But the quality of our thoughtsdepends on the people in our lives.


15/38

We receive a lot of unconditional love when we're born.

We receive a lot of unconditional respect when we die.

We just need to learn how to handle the between...

Limiting Ourselves In Comfort Zones

We are basically unlimited beings. But we limit ourselvesin many comfort zones. We have a lot of conditioningswhich, in reality, are mental.

Some mosquitoes were put in a box and they kept jumping a lot. The box was covered from the top andeach time they jumped they hit the top of the box, andwhen they jumped too close to the right or the left theyhit the sides of the box. Slowly, to avoid harmingthemselves, they learned to jump just under the cover

and without reaching the sides of the box. One day allthe four sides of the box were opened. The mosquitoeswere free, but they kept on jumping as far as the limitthey had learned. The physical limits were no longer there. But they had become conditioned mentally.


25/38

Given below are some conditionings under which we work,because of which we do not experience complete freedom.

* Beliefs, acquired since our childhood, which limit us.

(Including the Religious One according to our level of our understandings) because all the religious teachings areexpressed only to achieve the highest goal.

* The negative images of low self esteem that we havecreated of ourselves.* The damaging thoughts of doubt, which does not let thehighway of trust to build up inside ourselves and does notallow the creative energy of positivity to flow from inside usto the outside.

* The fear of failure or not being to able to succeedcompletely. A lot of times the fear exists due to pastexperiences of failure or not having succeeded as much asyou would have liked.


26/38

We need to become aware of what our pattern of thoughtsis, which brings us under the negative influence of mental

conditionings. When that happens, we will be able tobecome free of these conditionings. While we do notbecome aware, we will continue to remain under itsinfluence.

'If God is for us, who can be against us?'

(Romans 8:31)

Personal Reflection

How absurd it is for anyone to think of the above line (as if in preparation for a external war) when everything andanything in the universe is part of God. God is ALL THEREIS; there is nothing else besides God.

This saying and many other numerous so-called sayings on

God can only be coined by religious leaders and writerssubsequent to Jesus time to brainwash their followers. Inthose days with science at its infancy, did the people under-stand what God is or its creation? Even today I could notreconcile the logic of Gods conditional love with the idea of hell, nor God-given freewill to humans with the idea of sins


28/38

and punishment. There was so much emphasis on the TenCommandments, yet they condemned and killed non-believers and were the cause of what the Muslim extremistsare now doing.

What is God?Can anyone claim to know God? God is a term coined byhumans to refer to an unknown entity that is beyond human

comprehension. God is not a super human being nor anyform of PHYSICAL being. God is ALMIGHTY and can never be damaged by anything in the universe. It is absurd to evenimagine that God or any of the Trinity of God could be

crucified by mere mortal beings! Jesus cannot be the ONLYbegotten son as claimed by Christianity to boast that itsreligion had the only God and hence was the only true reli-gion. But like every human being, Jesus was a child of God.Jesus learned Buddhism and became an accomplished yogi.A yogi can perform many acts beyond a normal person.


29/38

Those who re-enact the crucifixion of Jesus, in Philippines,do it of their own freewill. They might try to use the power of belief to lessen their pain.

Gods domain is the spiritual dimension, the Soul of God,the Reality of God, and that is where we always arespiritually. We are never separated from the Soul of God.Each of us do not have a separate soul. In human language,

many terms and phrases are used to refer to God and thesevarious terms mean the same thing. Our human body andmind with the universe are initially the first creations of God. These are referred to thereafter as created reality,

entirely different from the Reality of God.

The Reality of God may be regarded as our Home, thesource where we are eternally. We are recreated for reincarnation each time our body and mind are returned toearth after so-called human death. So human death and birth


30/38

can be said to be the same thing. This is why the Upanishad(Gita) said that we are never born and will never die. TheSoul (i.e. God) is eternal. We are always Home with God.

The Soul is our Life, and so is everything we see in our created reality. Yes, we can truly say we are One witheverything in life in the created reality, both the visible andthe invisible. Yes, God is truly ALL THERE IS.

In the Reality of God, there is no right and wrong, nogood and bad, no reward and punishment. It is only inhuman world where humans have created the duality

concept which includes sin, hell, Satan, last judgment, fear,failure, etc. that such imperfection became a createdreality. Humanity has been brainwashed to dream and tochase that dream. This is to create the reality of physicalityto reinforce human egoism on the desire of materiality. Thisis how human life becomes imperfect. The Soul is absolute

and is perfect. Our higher Self which is God within us isalways perfect whereas our lower self (the false ego in our subconscious mind) is imperfect.

God is impartial. God helps those who help themselves bytheir own efforts and merits. God gives us the freedom andthe freewill to allow us to express and experience theconsequences of our actions and to walk our own destiny.

Every path leads to the mountaintop. No religion is the onlytrue religion and no people are the chosen people. Godsends us guardian angels to guide us by prompting us but itis our freewill that has the final say and that makes usunique in our own way. Negativity does not exist in Godsreality.

But as human beings with body and mind, we are subject tothe universal law of energy, of action and reaction, of

cause and effect or religiously known as karma.


32/38

Whatever we do unto others (even with our speech) will bedone unto us. This was what Jesus said even thoughChristianity did not accept karma or reincarnation. Does thisnot indicate that Jesus was preaching Buddhism that hestudied (as a normal person) while in India and Tibet. Karmaare the consequences of energy, and not the punishment of God. Consequences can be either favorable or unfavorable.But never think of rewards for all your kind deeds.

Buddhism teaches non-attachment to this life and toeverything in this world including non-attachment to things,places or persons. Attachment leads to craving which in turn

brings pain and suffering. Look at the young people on theMRT trains, sitting side by side, completely engrossed withtheir handphones! Buddhism suggests walking the middleway, not to be in excessive but in moderation.

Although there is no right and wrong, but we do and can

make mistakes. To sustain life, things either work or do notwork. Mistakes do give us experience, enable us to learn andto improve further. That is the continuing process of humanevolution. Evolution does not end.

Life is truly beautiful. There is nothing to fear. Human deathis just a transition to a new chapter in human life. All other negativism is just an imagination of the human mind. Things

are just what they are but humans do not perceive them thatway. They are meant to be used and enjoyed. Science andtechnology have advanced in leaps and bounds but spirit-uality is lacking far behind. Unless something is done toawaken humans, who, according to Anthony de Mello in hisbook Awaken, are born spiritually asleep, grow upspiritually asleep, marry spiritually asleep and die spirituallyasleep.

The only concern right now is that certain groups of human

b i h b f h i d ld h d


34/38

beings who, because of their ego, can do untold harm andatrocious damage to humanity and bring about an undesiredchange in evolution or even kill the entire human race.

The largest of such groups is in organized religions withtheir large followers. The religious leaders, in their efforts toretain followers, will undoubtedly preach on sins andpunishment in hell, removing followers freedom of worship

and creating fear in their life. This is what Christianity isgood at. They fabricated mythologies and any unexplainedphenomena are attributed to mystery, miracle or due to lackof faith. They have even condemned certain sex as sinfulwhen God created sex as a joyful act of love. Christianityhave turned some of their organizations into money-makingmachines with their collection of tithes and donations. Thenthere are the Buddhist monks, displaying their handphonesand sitting in big cars, who charge deceaseds relativesexorbitant fees for funeral services.


35/38

Next comes certain doctors and pharmacists who areobsessed with greed and promise of wealth frompharmaceutical companies, encouraging patients to go for chemotherapy, sending patients to unnecessary mentalagony and physical pain in their dying days instead of prescribing natural effective remedy. The companies aremaking tons of money more than others combined. This is awell known fact.

The third group are the politicians and their staunchsupporters obsessed with greed and power, actingarrogantly, placing themselves as masters earning

obscene high pay instead of being servants of the public.

The fourth group are the elders and parents who brain- -washed and pressurized their young to be among the best,thinking this is the sole purpose of human life. A.S. Neills book, Summerhill, said that Every child has a god in him.


36/38

Our attempts to mold the child will turn the god into a devil.

The final group are those of the rest of humanity who thinkthey know all there is to know, etc. and thus close their mind to new understanding and information. They even tellthe others to use their brains to think. This has resulted inthe write-up of this Personal Reflection, thinking of whatthey have said. This group has shallow understanding, juststaying alive but only to exist from day to day and henceneed to use their brains to think for themselves on how tolive.

It is probably the human ego of the various groups above(perhaps may not apply to every individual one of them) thatpushes them to where they are. They should listen to thewords of Jesus, What doth it profit a man if he gains thewhole world and suffers (allows) the loss of his own soul.He also said, Blessed are the meek in spirit. For them is the

Ki d f H N h ill b l


37/38

Kingdom of Heaven. No sheep will ever be lost.

The difference between a selfish person and a selflessperson is that the selfless person does not live in his ego.Only then can he be truly humble.

As stated earlier on, there is no right and wrong and nogood and bad. Nobody will be judged and be punished in

hell. Have no fear. You only bear the consequences of your human actions. As a human, you either have a smooth pathto the mountaintop, or a rugged path with high peaks toclimb, or any path in between. You cannot die but may have

to reincarnate to start anew each time. The choice is yours.Is this the Truth?These are my observations as I perceive Life based on myperspectives. They are not to be taken as judgments as nooffence is intended for anyone. But there will always be


38/38

others who think otherwise. What they think or say is noneof my business. It only reflects on themselves. This is MYtruth but it may not be yours.

Jesus said, The Truth is within each of you. Seek withinand the Truth can set you free. The wise sayings of Jesusnormally focus on the internal of human beings.

Have a nice day!

P.S. I was a Roman Catholic convert while still in a missionschool in 1958, and was a knight of the Blessed Sacrament.In 1964, I stopped going to Church and since then, I wasfree from fear of sins and hell. This is my experience and Iam always grateful to God for it.
