"What actions are most excellent? To gladden the heart of human beings, to feed the hungry, to help the afflicted, to lighten the sorrow of the sorrowful, and to remove the sufferings of the injured." -Bukhari

 

“A concern, support and prayer  is pure when it is given from the heart to the right person at the right time and at the right place, and when we expect nothing in return”--Bhagvadgita

 

One of my students asked me whats so specific about this particular expression when millions around the world are doing the same.

I replied " I don't know about those millions. But I know millions of millions including me spent a feeling of sorrow for unknown families collapsing there." Every one wanted to express their support. And a medium is required."

 For those these kids unknowingly provided a platform to express. I observed a serenity in the expression. Many have burnt a candle for a press publicity. But here we have two who have done this with limited resources and providing a way for many kids to express there. I found it as a vent for deep feelings in. I found it as a learning for kids there. I found it as a brave act because not many in us come in open to express good even. So all who read this light a candle or offer prayers in church or mosque or temple or your own mind for a while, place a rose or do the thing your heart tells to do for the people in pain. Don't ever say "what is this going to do " Do it. Feel for your self. 

This act of lighting candles by Manikanta and  Shah is their way. Some including me joined them. No words.  No fanfare. No press. No ...  you can guess. Only silence. Its silence that speaks. Its silence that carries our emotions more strongly than words. Its silence that soothes. Its silence that heals. 

Abounds of silence prevails after a great tragedy. share it like manikanta and shah of Andhra University

words of wisdom

The state we call realization is simply being oneself, not knowing anything or becoming anything. If one has realized, he is that which alone is, and which alone has always been. He cannot describe that state. He can only be That. Of course, we loosely talk of Self-realization for want of a better term.

That which is, is peace. All that we need do is to keep quiet. Peace is our real nature. We spoil it. What is required is that we cease to spoil it.


All beings desire happiness always, happiness without a tinge of sorrow. At the same time everybody loves himself best. The cause for this love is only happiness. So, that happiness must lie in one self. Further, that happiness is daily experienced by everyone in sleep, when there is no mind. To attain that natural happiness one must know oneself. For that, Self-Enquiry 'Who am I?' is the chief means.


Mind is a wonderful force inherent in the Self. That which arises in this body as 'I' is the mind. When the subtle mind emerges through the brain and the senses, the gross names and forms are cognized. When it remains in the Heart, names and forms disappear. If the mind remains in the Heart, the 'I' or the ego which is the source of all thoughts will go, and the Self, the Real, Eternal 'I' alone will shine. Where there is not the slightest trace of the ego, there is the Self.
