This is the beginning
"This is the beginning of a new day.
You have been given this day to use
as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever; in its place is something that you have left behind...let it be something good."
An SMS Chat with GOD
An SMS Chat with GOD That Changed My Life
By I, Me, Myself ------Courtsey: Indiatimes
God: Hello. You called me.
I, Me, Myself: Called you? No, who is this?
G: This is God. I heard your prayers. So I thought I will chat with you.
IMM: Sure, I pray. Just makes me feel good. Actually, am busy now. In the midst of something, you know.
G: What are you busy with? Ants are busy, too.
IMM: Don’t know. But I can’t find free time. Life has become hectic. It’s rush hour all the time.
G: Sure. Activity gets you busy. But productivity gets you results. Activity consumes time. Productivity frees it.
IMM: But I still can’t figure it out. By the way, I was not expecting YOU to buzz me on instant messaging chat.
G: Well, I wanted to help you resolve your fight for time by giving you some clarity. I wanted to reach you through the medium you are comfortable with.
IMM: Tell me, why has life become so complicated?
G: Stop analysing life. Just live it. Analysis is what makes it complicated.
IMM: Why are we then cons-tantly unhappy?
G: Your today is the tomorrow that you worried about yesterday. You are worrying because the act of worrying has become a habit. That’s why you are not happy.
IMM: But how can we not worry when there is so much uncertainty?
G: Uncertainty is inevitable, but worrying is optional.
IMM: But then, there is so much pain due to uncertainty.
G: Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional.
IMM: If suffering is optional, why do good people always suffer?
G: Diamonds cannot be polished without friction. Gold cannot be purified without fire. Good people go through trials. With that experience their life becomes better, not bitter.
IMM: You mean to say such experience is useful?
G: Yes. Experience is a hard teacher, though. She gives the test first and the lessons afterwards.
IMM: But still, why should we go through such tests? Why can’t we be free from problems?
G: Problems are Purposeful Roadblocks Offering Beneficial Lessons to Enhance Mental Strength. Inner strength comes from struggle and endurance, not when you are free from problems.
IMM: Frankly in the midst of so many problems, we don’t know where we are heading.
G: If you look outside you will not know where you are heading. Look inside. Looking outside, you dream. Looking inside, you awaken. Eyes provide sight. Heart provides insight.
IMM: Sometimes not succeeding fast seems to hurt more than moving in the right direction.
G: Success is relative, quantified by others. Satisfaction is absolute, quantified by you. Knowing the road ahead is more satisfying than knowing you rode ahead.
IMM: Sometimes I ask, who am I, why am I here? I don’t know the answers.
G: Seek not to find who you are, but to determine who you want to be. Stop looking for a purpose as to why you are here. Create it. Life is not a process of discovery but a process of creation.
IMM: How can I get the best out of life?
G: Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear.
IMM: Sometimes my prayers are not answered.
G: There are no unanswered prayers. At times the answer is NO.
IMM: Thank you for this wonderful chat. I’ll try to be less fearful.
G: Keep the faith and drop the fear. Life is a mystery to solve, not a problem to resolve. Life is wonderful if you know how to live.

Improve Quality of Mind
Thoughts to Improve Quality of Mind
--SADHGURU JAGGI VASUDEV
Q: Many times, impure thoughts come to my mind. How can I improve the quality of my thoughts?
First, understand that the mind is an accumulation. It is society’s garbage bin. Anybody who passes by, stuffs something into your head; Let’s say you don’t like this person. Can you stop taking things from him? You receive much more from people whom you don’t like than from people whom you like, isn’t it? You have no choice about what enters — everything that you’re exposed to in the world will enter you. You have discretion about what to use and what not to use, but you have no discretion about what to take and what not to take. So what you call as thought is just a certain reverberation which is happening all the time. Whatever the content of your garbage bin, that is the kind of thought that is going on. I don’t want to improve the quality of your thought. I just want you to find the switch and switch them off, like how they have been telling all of you here to turn off your cellphones. Don’t you turn your cellpone off ? {laughs} Switch it off, and turn it on when you need. You don’t have to control the quality of the thought; you turn it off when you don’t want it, you turn it on when you want it. If you have this mechanism, then thought is not a problem. The very source of Creation is throbbing within you; what is it that you’re thinking about which is more important than that? To handle the mundane activity of life, you need to think. When you need to, you turn on your cellphone; when you don’t need, you switch it off. Mind is just a small version of your Internet. It has gathered this and that from everywhere. When we need it, we go online, when we don’t need it, we go offline, isn’t it? That’s how you should be. Don’t try to improve the quality of the Internet; all the garbage in the world goes onto the Internet. What you want to access, and when you want to access is up to you. But you lost that freedom. All the time it is on. That is why you’re talking about improving the quality of thought. Don’t try to improve the quality of thought; you cannot. If you turn it off and turn it on... if it becomes a conscious process, then you would naturally choose what you want.
Q: What is the best way to seek the Divine?
If this fundamental nature of what it means to be human finds a natural expression in one’s life, one need not go in search of Divine; the Divine will chase you. It’ll be behind you. Generally, people have been taught to look up to the Divine, to plead for the Divine, to beg the Divine, to pray to the Divine. I think you must live in such a way that the Divine should be a willing servant in your life. Only then this life is really worth it. If you make yourself into a beautiful being, the Divine should crawl behind you all the time. Where can He find a man like you? That’s how it should be. This is not out of ego. It is just that when the flower blossoms, the flower does not go in search of the bee, though the flower’s existence and its future depends on the bee. It exudes such fragrance that the bee has to come. Even though the very existence of the flower if dependent on the bee, still, it is the bee that comes to the flower. Only if you don’t have the fragrance, you have to take the flower to the bee.
