here are some quotes which i liked a lot..

Watch your thoughts, for they become wordsWatch your words, for they become actionsWatch your actions, for they become habitsWatch your habits, for they become characterWatch your character,for it becomes your destiny.

AS LONG AS THERE IS LACK OF THE INNER DISCIPLINE THAT BRINGS CALMNESS OF MIND,NO MATTER WHAT EXTERNAL FACILITIES OR CONDITIONS YOU HAVE,THEY WILL NEVER GIVE YOU THE FEELING OF JOY & HAPPINESS THAT YOU ARE SEEKING. ON THE OTHER HAND,IF YOU POSSESS THIS INNER QUALITY OF CALMNESS OF MIND,YOU WILL REFLECT YOURSELF.BOILED WATER NEVER REFLECT US WITHIN

At the heart of my metaphysic there is the ultimate question and at the heart of the universe there is the ultimate questioner

It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another, but above all, try something.

A king or a beggar, an ant or an insect- whatever yousee is my form.

Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers but to be fearless in facing them. Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain but for the heart to conquer it.

Look at the sky. We are not alone. The whole universe is friendly to us and conspires only to give the best to those who dream and work

these are the quotes i saw on paulo coelho blog...

i think they are wonderful

1] All men are different. And should do everything possible to continue to be so.
2] Each human being has been granted two courses of action: that of deed and that of contemplation. Both lead to the same place.
3] Each human being has been granted two qualities: power and gift. Power drives man to meet his destiny, his gift obliges him to share with others that which is good in him. A man must know when to use his power, and when to use his gift.
4] Each human being has been granted a virtue: the capacity to choose. For he who does not use this virtue, it becomes a curse – and others will always choose for him.
5] Each human being has the right to two blessings, which are: the blessing to do right, and the blessing to err. In the latter case, there is always a path of learning leading to the right way.
6] Each human being has his own sexual profile, and should exercise it without guilt – provided he does not oblige others to exercise it with him.
7] Each human being has his own Personal Legend to be fulfilled, and this is the reason he is in the world. The Personal Legend is manifest in his enthusiasm for what he does.Single paragraph – the Personal Legend may be abandoned for a certain time, provided one does not forget it and returns as soon as possible.
8] Each man has a feminine side, and each woman has a masculine side. It is necessary to use discipline with intuition, and to use intuition objectively.
9] Each human being must know two languages: the language of society and the language of the omens. The first serves for communication with others. The second serves to interpret messages from God.
10] Each human being has the right to seek out joy, joy being understood as something which makes one content – not necessarily that which makes others content.
11] Each human being must keep alight within him the sacred flame of madness. And must behave like a normal person.
12] The only faults considered grave are the following: not respecting the rights of one’s neighbor, letting oneself be paralyzed by fear, feeling guilty, thinking one does not deserve the good and bad which occurs in life, and being a coward.Paragraph 1 – we shall love our adversaries, but not make alliances with them. They are placed in our way to test our sword, and deserve the respect of our fight.Paragraph 2 – we shall choose our adversaries, not the other way around.
12A] We hereby declare the end to the wall dividing the sacred from the profane: from now on, all is sacred.
14] Everything which is done in the present, affects the future by consequence, and the past by redemption.
15] Dispensations to the contrary are herewith revoked.

today i want to talk about the concept of happiness in our lives...what makes us happy,is it the affluence of wealth...wisdom ,knowledge or spirituality..i really know a few who r content with their life...happy to be what they r..many of them r saints whom u can see in every village in india but they dont inspire me to be like them..its very easy to runaway from society on the name of meeting god...but it is better to face them and conquer them...when u admired someone named mata{sorry i dont remember the name} i felt a bit dissapointed that u r also trying to get the wisdom of god in this way...dont take me other way... i believe u r wiser and more experienced than me..."but what i firmly believev in is that life is all about living it for others,never asking for anything in return."and thats the true idea of being happy and content...but how can we cserve the humanity...we all know when we were young what is the thing we would like to do in best way in our lives...but most of us due to ignorance of their feelings and pressure of society and family leave that way of life..thus when this happens with most of the humanity most of us get dissatisfied with our lives ,fanally leading to misery and negative energy in society..this i believe is te root cause of most of the problems in the world as we cant take our job as our interest...i read the following in a book by paulo coelho-"when i die,bury me standing bcoz i have spent my whole life on my knees"i will say taht it means that i spent my whole life accordig to the rules laid by society,educatio system,family and the trades and trends in world,so when i die atlest then let me do what i want as my whole life my heart wept for freedom and power,to do what it wished ,to say what it thought.Have u read the quote-"i was born intelligent but education ruined me" i highly agree with it...bcoz the prime aim of education is not to teach what our ancestors have learnt but to ignite the fire to discover and search for the facts and learn them on their own,to find the world in their own way so that their creativity is retained and they can bring the changes they want to...emotions r the master, reason is the servant.once Einstein only said that mankind has been given the gifts of intiution and reasoning,while intiution is the master reason is the servant to it but unfortunately people have forget vthe master and accepted the servant.our education snatches our ability to percieve things in our own way and if we do we r not strong enough to say it to others as they will consider us mad....i see god is nothing but love ad its very simple,simplest of all bt we cant see through simple things as we view them useless..u told me about youth in america,but what u ever thought to do for them out of pure love and proud of them as ur fellow countryman....im not criticizing u but this is the question each of shuld ask to ourselve for finding the true happiness i our lives..im bunking my classes right now but i feel that i will not get punished bcoz god knows im doing sumthing out of pure concern t my people...i have this concept of god with me..i dont want power or a reputation but a satisfaction that i did service to your nation when i got a chance..okk plz reply on mail if u can..that will be better

today i was reading a problem pasted by a girl on the blog of paulo coelho.....

she loved a boy..madly in love but boy isnt aware and she thinks that he doesnt like her and he is flirt type...and she has a standstill in life,depression not happy with anything...i replied the following words to her-

hiiiiiii rajinder...i read about ur case and i will tell u what i believe in-if ur loved ones want to go let them go bcoz if they really love u they will come back...but u must inform him about ur feelings.sumtymes its a lack of communication...BUT WHY U R SAD ,u should be so happ that u have found ur love even if he isnt with u...its difficult to understand but take it this way- have some aim in life,some purpose,think what u wanted to be whaen u were young,what u like most and focus the energy of ur love towards that job....carry those good moments whaen u were with him and recall them in the tymes of despair so that u be happy...believe me if love is true,it will get the success. wait for the moment of reunion but dont make ur love ur zahir but the obsession to achieve ur aim.convey him ur feelings but dont beg for the love bcoz true love is unconditional...hope it will help u..

hope these will help her

HOW TO FIND AIM OF LIFE

Its very important to realize the aim of our life and we cant leave it on god.....there is a way to find it....try to remember whaen u were teenager or even before that..which activity u liked most ....when u felt that u have the energy to conquer the world....when u got the full satisfaction with urself....that was the moment and aim of ur life...u may say that they were many...but all of them must be related to one particular activity...
for example im an army officer...i believe that its the best profession for me...but its the best because it gives me a chance to lead people...in particular train them for betterment & gives me the opportunity to interact with different types of people and places....so my aim of life isnt tobe an soldier but to teach people the way of life...to lead them and train them so that they can be better in their lives....my problem is that i know my aim..bt the way to execute is a challenge bcoz it will ask for many sacrifices...but im quite young..20 yrs old...so whole life is there..
one more thing....read the book alchemist...if u have read it already...reread it deeply....u wil realize that god is waiting for us in our dreams....so just go and pursue them....
