मानसिकता

नुकतीच वाचण्यात आलेली एक लघु कथा ...मनाला भावली ...तुम्हा सगळ्या मित्रा साठी ...

सांयकाळी समुद्रकाठी फ़िरताना एक वृद्धानं एका लहानग्याला किनार्‍यावर काहीतरी उचलून समुद्रात फ़ेकताना पाहिलं. आश्चर्य वाटून तो त्याच्या जवळ गेला तर तो समुद्राकाठचे तडफ़डणारे तारामासे एक-एक करुन पुन्हा समुद्राच्या पाण्यात फ़ेकत होता.न राहावून त्यानं लहानग्याला विचारलं, ;समुद्रकिनारी इतके हजारो मासे आहेत, तु कुणा कुणाला वाचवू शकणार आहेस??.. मुठभर मासे वाचवून जगाला असा काय फ़रक पडणार आहे?त्या मुलाने आणखी एक मासा समुद्रात फ़ेकत निरागसपणे उत्तर दिलं, यानं जगाला काय फ़रक पडेल ते माहीत नाही. पण या माशाला विचारा, त्याला काय फ़रक पडला? ज्याचा मी नुकताच जीव वाचवला.

Confidence level

Confidence level


Story told by a man which is most frightening yet thought-provoking experiences of his life.

He had been on a long flight. The first warning of the approaching problems came when the sign on the airplane flashed on: "Fasten your seat belts."

Then, after a while, a calm voice said, "We shall not be serving the beverages at this time as we are expecting a little turbulence. Please be sure your seat belt is fastened."

As he looked around the aircraft, it became obvious that many of the passengers were becoming apprehensive. Later, the voice of the announcer said, "We are so sorry that we are unable to serve the meal at this time. The turbulence is still ahead of us."

And then the storm broke. The ominous cracks of thunder could be heard even above the roar of the engines. Lightening lit up the darkening skies and within moments that great plane was like a cork tossed around on a celestial ocean. One moment the airplane was lifted on terrific currents of air; the next, it dropped as if it were about to crash.

The man confessed that he shared the discomfort and fear of those around him. He said, "As I looked around the plane, I could see that nearly all the passengers were upset and alarmed. Some were praying.

The future seemed ominous and many were wondering if they would make it through the storm. And then, I suddenly saw a girl to whom the storm meant nothing. She had tucked her feet beneath her as she sat on her seat and was reading a book.

Everything within her small world was calm and orderly. Sometimes she closed her eyes, then she would read again; then she would straighten her legs, but worry and fear were not in her world. When the plane was being buffeted by the terrible storm, when it lurched this way and that, as it rose and fell with frightening severity, when all the adults were scared half to death, that marvelous child was completely composed and unafraid."

The man could hardly believe his eyes. It was not surprising therefore, that when the plane finally reached its destination and all the passengers were hurrying to disembark, he lingered to speak to the girl whom he had watched for such a long time.

Having commented about the storm and behavior of the plane, he asked why she had not been afraid.

The sweet child replied,

"Sir, my Dad is the pilot and he is taking me home."

When you are sure of your self, your confident level is steady and you are never shaky you do the things calmly and successfully.

आजकाल ...
आजकाल मी ठरवून टाकलय...
मी ठरवून टाकलय की ...
साधू संत आणी साध्वींच्या नादी लागायचे नाही...
त्यांच्या प्रवचनाला आणी कीर्तनाला मु ळी च जायचे नाही...
रस्त्याने जाताना चुकून कुठे त्यांचे प्रवचन, कीर्तन सुरु असेल
तर आपला चेहरा घट्ट बांधून घ्यायचा ,
लपवून ठेवायचा.......
त्यांच्या प्रवचन कीर्तनात आपला चेहरा कुट्ठे कुट्ठे दिसू नये ...
फोटोत ...ह्याची काळजी घ्यायची...
का? माहिती आहे??
उद्या कुठे बॉम्बस्फोट झाला .....
ह्यांच नाव आल .....
ए टी एस ची चौकशी सुरु झाली .....
आणी त्यांच्या प्रवचनात माझा फोटो दिसला तर....
तर लागेल ना माझ्या मागे ससेमिरा ए टी एस चा...
अरे भारतीय लष्कराला नाही सोडल त्यांनी
तिथे मी किस झाड़ की पत्ती.....
तसा मी माराला नाही घाबरत ....
पण बदनामी नको हो ....
एक साधा मध्यमवर्गी नाकासमोर पाहून चालणारा मी
त्यामुले ठरवून टाकलय मी....
आजकाल ठरवून टाकलय मी .....

" Four Wives "

There was a rich merchant who had 4 wives. He loved the 4th wife the most and adorned her with rich robes and treated her to delicacies. He took great care of her and gave her nothing but the best. He also loved the 3rd wife very much. He's very proud of her and always wanted to show off her to his friends. However, the merchant is always in great fear that she might run away with some other men. He too, loved his 2nd wife. She is a very considerate person, always patient and in fact is the merchant's confidante. Whenever the merchant faced some problems, he always turned to his 2nd wife and she would always help him out and tide him through difficult times. Now, the merchant's 1st wife is a very loyal partner and has made great contributions in maintaining his wealth and business as well as taking care of the household. However, the merchant did not love the first wife and although she loved him deeply, he hardly took notice of her. One day, the merchant fell ill. Before long, he knew that he was going to die soon. He thought of his luxurious life and told himself, "Now I have 4 wives with me. But when I die, I'll be alone. How lonely I'll be!" Thus, he asked the 4th wife, "I loved you most, endowed you with the finest clothing and showered great care over you. Now that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?" "No way!" replied the 4th wife and she walked away without another word. The answer cut like a sharp knife right into the merchant's heart. The sad merchant then asked the 3rd wife, "I have loved you so much for all my life. Now that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?" "No!" replied the 3rd wife. "Life is so good over here! I'm going to remarry when you die!" The merchant's heart sank and turned cold. He then asked the 2nd wife, "I always turned to you for help and you've always helped me out. Now I need your help again. When I die, will you follow me and keep me company?" "I'm sorry, I can't help you out this time!" replied the 2nd wife. "At the very most, I can only send you to your grave." The answer came like a bolt of thunder and the merchant was devastated. Then a voice called out : "I'll leave with you. I'll follow you no matter where you go." The merchant looked up and there was his first wife. She was so skinny, almost like she suffered from malnutrition. Greatly grieved, the merchant said, "I should have taken much better care of you while I could have !" Moral : Actually, we all have 4 wives in our lives
A. The 4th wife is our body. No matter how much time and effort we lavish in making it look good, it'll leave us when we die. B. Our 3rd wife ? Our possessions, status and wealth. When we die, they all go to others. C. The 2nd wife is our family and friends. No matter how close they had been there for us when we're alive, the furthest they can stay by us is up to the grave. D. The 1st wife is in fact our soul, often neglected in our pursuit of material, wealth and sensual pleasure. Guess what? It is actually the only thing that follows us wherever we go. Perhaps it's a good idea to cultivate and strengthen it now rather than to wait until we're on our deathbed to lament....

Power of the Word

The power of the word is real whether or not you are conscious of it. Your own words are the bricks and mortar of the dreams you want to realize. Behind every word flows energy.

-Sonia Choquette

चांदणं

चांदणं चांदणंच असतं. त्याला ग्रेड्स नाहीत. डिग्री नाही. डिग्री नाही म्हणुन अहंकार नाही. म्हणुनच गोंगाट नाही. ते नम्र असतं. उन्हाप्रमाणे चांदण्याजवळ तरतमभाव नाही. ते जितकं प्रखर, तितकं सौम्य. चंद्राइतकं औदार्य माणसांना मिळवता येईल का? अमावस्येला स्वत:चं अस्तित्वही न दर्शवण्याचा निरहंकार फ़क्त चंद्रासारख्या महान ग्रहाजवळच असू शकतो!माणसं चंद्रासारखी शीतल का होत नाहीत? एकच कारण.ती चंद्राची उपेक्षा करतात. रात्री झोपा काढतात. एका चतुर्थीत सगळं देणं चुकवतात. त्यातही भक्ती किती? आणी अहंकार किती?उपवास करणार्यांचा परिवारावर एक अनामिक पगडा असतो. दडपण असतं. चंद्राची शीतलता उचलणं हेच व्रत. त्याच्या शीतलतेचं अनुकरण केलं तर घरात चांदणं पहुडेल.पण त्या शीतलतेशी घनिष्ठ मैत्री हवी. ती झोपून कशी मिळणार?त्यासाठी हे असं चांदण्यांशी संधान जुळवलं पाहिजे.समुद्रासारखा जीवही चंद्र दिसला की झेपावतो. मिठाला जागतो. मग माणसं अशी थंड का? ती शांत असतील तर उत्तम. पण ती थंड म्हणजे निर्विकार असतात.

Eagles And Storms

Eagles And Storms

Did you know that an eagle knows when a storm is approaching long before it breaks? The eagle will fly to some high spot and wait for the winds to come.

When the storm hits, it sets its wings so that the wind will pick it up and lift it above the storm. While the storm rages below, the eagle is soaring above it. The eagle does not escape the storm. It simply uses the storm to lift it higher. It rises on the winds that bring the storm.

When the storms of life come upon us - and all of us will experience them - we can rise above them by setting our minds and our belief toward God. The storms do not have to overcome us. We can allow God's power to lift us above them.

God enables us to ride the winds of the storm that bring sickness, tragedy, failure and disappointment in our lives. We can soar above the storm.

Remember, it is not the burdens of life that weigh us down, it is how we handle them.

Focus For Life

I came across across tis msg,recently, hope it will be helpful to u , even then u know read it out

Focus For Life
Whatever you dwell upon in your mind, you give power to. So of course it makes sense to focus on what you want rather than what you don't want. Yet there are many ways in which the things you don't want can sneak into your thinking.

Worry and doubt focus your thinking on what you don't want. Rather than worrying about the bad things that might happen, direct your actions toward making positive things happen.

Complaining can also get your mind sidetracked into thinking about what you don't want. What do you complain about? The things you don't like. Rather than complaining, take action. Action moves you toward what you do want.

Anger is one more way to get your thinking negatively directed. Rather than getting angry about what you don't like, use that energy to give you determination for what you want to achieve.

Keep your mind positively focused on the good things that life can offer. Those things will grow stronger and more abundant in your world.
