પ્રેમપત્રમાં જોડણીની ભૂલ કાઢવા ન બેસાય .

You  must be driven not by passion  but by a  vision , not  by the desire to arrogate but  to abnegate.

વરરાજાએ દહેજમાં માગવા જેવું :

૧) મારા ઘરડા માં-બાપને પોતાના માં-બાપ સમજીને તેમને સ્નેહ કરે.

૨) મારા નાના ભાઈ બહેનને માતાની મમતાથી નવરાવી દે.

૩) પરિવારમાં સંપ-સહકાર જળવાઈ રહે તેની કાળજી રાખે.

૪) મારી આવકમાં સંતોષ રાખે, ભાવનાથી રહે અને સૌને રાખે 

૫) મારા સુખ દુખની સરખે સરખી હિસ્સેદાર બને. સુખમાં મને છલકવા ન દ્યે અને દુઃખમાં મને ભાંગી પડવા ન દ્યે.

 

Every victory contains the germ of future defeat.

Failure is the opportunity to begin afresh more intelligently.

તાળી એ સુખ છે, તાબોટા ત્રાસ છે . જીવનમાં દરેક સુખ બે side વચ્ચેનો ખેલ છે. આજે જે પરમ સુખ હોય તે આવતી કાલે સામાન્ય બાબત બનશે અને પરમ દિવસે કંટાળાજનક ચીજ. આ પ્રક્રિયાને સ્વીકારીને જો જીવી શકાય તો લાઈફમાં જે મળે અને જે બને એ બધામાં સુખ દેખાવા માંડે.

આધુનિક માનવી ખુબ ઢોંગી બની ગયો છે. તે નીતિ નિયમોનો ભક્ત છે પણ તક મળ્યે નીતિને કોરાણે મુકીને અધમમાં અધમ કૃત્ય આચરી શકે છે. આધુનિક મનુષ્યની સૌથી મોટી બિભત્સતા તો એ છે કે પોતાની ભૂલ અને ખરાબ કર્મને બુદ્ધિની ચાલાકીથી એ સમર્થન આપતો થઇ ગયો છે. વાણીનો તે વેપારી બની ગયો છે. આધુનિક મનુષ્ય ધાર્મિકતાનો વેશ ધારણ કરે છે, પણ ધાર્મિકતાના બુરખા નીચે તે અનેક અધાર્મિક કૃત્યો કરે છે.- નિત્શે

And today ?

Today is a gift.

That is why we call it the present.

માત્ર  'બોલવું  જ નહી' તે સાચું મૌન નથી . જીભને શાંત રાખવી એ પુરતું નથી પણ સાથે સાથે મનને  પણ શાંત અને સ્વસ્થ રાખવું જરૂરી છે. મૂંગા રહીને અંદરથી ડહોળાયા  કરવું એ અર્થ વગરનું છે.જીવનમાં સારી રીતે બોલતા ન આવડે એ કમનસીબી છે પરંતુ એનાથી મોટી કમનસીબી ચુપ રહેતા ન આવડે તે છે.

અસ્વસ્થ ચિત્ત સાથે ચુપ રહેવાનું અને સ્વસ્થ ચિત્ત સાથે બોલવાનું મુશ્કેલ હોય છે.

You learn to like someone when you find out what makes them smile.

But you can never truly love someone until you find out what makes them smile.

Be strong enough to accept the challenges of life.
Don't say to GOD "why me ?"
Instead say "Try me "

Always REFRESH your mind,

DELETE your mistakes,

CREATE your dreams,

MINIMISE your negative thoughts,

MAXIMISE your target,

SHUTDOWN your worries.

A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks others have thrown at him.

Never think more about past, it brings tears.

don't think more about future, it bring fears.

LIVE this second, it brings cheers.

Is not God part of man's quest for ultimate pleasure, uninterrupted happiness and permanence ?

Are not Moksha & Soul  just words to keep our psychological continuity intact ?

But the permanence is not the attribute of life and yet search for permanence & GOD continues.

If you desire to blossom like a rose in the garden, first you have to learn the art of adjusting with the thorns.

Everyone in your life is going to hurt you sooner or later. 

You just have to realise who is worth the pain.

Reality is what we take to be true.

What we take to be true is what we believe.

What we perceive  determines what we believe.

What we believe determines what we take to be true.

What we take to be true is our reality.

Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is when confidence dies inside us while we are alive.

Always be the reason of someone's happiness, never be a part of it. 

But be a part of someone's sadness , never be the reason of it.

Life laughs at you when you are unhappy.
Life smiles at you when you are happy.
But
Salutes you when you make others happy.

Nothing can be changed by changing the face.

Everything can be changed by facing the change.
