We tend to get caught in sense-illusion. We feed illusions and mistake that for fulfillment. The minute what we expected to achieve does not happen, it makes us feel disturbed. And if the same situation turns in our favour, it excites our senses. They have tendencies to change in accordance to the situation. So whatever is bound to change is not real and what is not real cannot be true. ( Tripti Bhupen)

Nothing else matters and time has no meaning. The true master, when engaged in the mastered activity, lives purely in the moment. You have had such experiences. Think of the times when you played sports and were in a very challenging game. Nothing else was on your mind and nothing else mattered. Hours passed by like  minutes and you experienced true Bliss and joy .

Dale Carnegie: " People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing."

The great philosopher of India, Patanjali said it best: “When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all of your thoughts break their bonds, your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction and you find yourself in a new great and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be.

In the end these things matter most : How well did you love ? How fully did you live? How deeply did you let go ?
(Gautam Buddha)

I am open to the guidance of synchronicity, and do not let expectations hinder my path.
(The Dalai Lama)

I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own- a God, in short, who but is a reflection of human frailty. (Albert Einstein)

You will appreciate that every day is a miracle and life is a special path that we walk on.

Q. How can you not see something that's wrong and not feel bad when you see it ?

Ans :- That's a very good question, Sara, and I promise you that in time I will answer it fully for you. I know that it's not easy to understand this all at once. And the reason that it's difficult to understand at first is because you have been trained to observe conditions, but you have not been trained to pay attention to how you feel when you are observing and so, the conditions seem to control your lives. If you are observing something good, you have a good feeling response and if you are observing something bad, you have a bad feeling response. When the conditions seem to control your lives, that is frustrating for most of you, and that is what causes so many people to continue to join the chain-of-pain.

(Esther And Jerry Hicks : The Teachings of Abraham)

Stay on purpose, not on outcome. In other words, do the task because it is what you love to do or because it will help someone or is a valuable exercise. Don’t do it for the money or the recognition. Those will come naturally. This is the way of the world. (Robin Sharma)

As Eleanor Roosevelt said: “no one can hurt you without your consent.”
Ghandi put it another way: “they cannot take our self-respect if we do not give it to them.”
The key is the interpretation of the action and to choose to see the event as one that will help you grow.

When you get into a truly relaxed, serene state, the subconscious part of the mind is most receptive to your suggestion. It will act on your every wish and make things happen.

By the right choice, and true application of thought, man ascends to divine perfection. By the abuse and wrong application of thought, he descends below the level of the beast ( James Allen, As a Man Thinketh)

Once you start feeling more vital and energetic, you will start achieving even more because you cannot do good unless you feel good. ( Robin Sharma)

Great minds at times have been submitted into committing great blunders. The nuances of handling pressure in a high-profile job are immense. The insecurity at times drives people into bizarre behaviour. Pressure brings out the worst in us. Most people who succumb to such weaknesses often regret them immediately. An outburst shows accumulation of negative feelings and stress. Anger outburst also reflect unresolved feelings.

“What would you do if I sang out of tune,
Would you stand up and walk out on me?
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song,
And I'll try not to sing out of key.
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends”
(it’s a song by the Beatles, called “With a Little Help From My Friends”)

Formal education will make you a living; self education will make you a fortune ( Jim Rohn)

Morpheus Quotes :-   "Fate, it seems, is not without a sense of irony."

"What is "real"? How do you define "real"?"

"This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill -- the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill -- you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes."

 "I'm trying to free your mind, Neo. But I can only show you the door. You're the one that has to walk through it."

"Have you ever had a dream, Neo, that you were so sure was real? What if you were unable to wake from that dream, Neo? How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world? "

"The Matrix is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth."

"What you know you can't explain, but you feel it. You've felt it your entire life, that there's something wrong with the world. You don't know what it is, but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad."

"Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself."

"If real is what you can feel, smell, taste and see, then 'real' is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain."

"The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inert, so hopelessly dependent on the system that they will fight to protect it."

"There is a difference between knowing the path and walking the path."

( Dialogue from Movie Matrix)

Marylin Delpy: What are you doing?
Mark Zuckerberg: Checking in to see how it's going in Bosnia.
Marylin Delpy: Bosnia. They don't have roads, but they have Facebook.  [Mark says nothing]
Marylin Delpy: You must really hate the Winklevosses.
Mark Zuckerberg: I don't hate anybody. The "Winklevii" aren't suing me for intellectual property theft. They're suing me because for the first time in their lives, things didn't go exactly the way they were supposed to for them.
(Memorable quote from Social Network-Movie (2010)

Women's Day Special :
a) Women have a special capacity to lead us to a more peaceful world with compassion, affection and kindness. ( The Dalai Lama)
b) Women are more tolerant, more accepting. Where does this strength come from ? It comes from their receptivity. ( Osho)

Why would you want to be someone else, When you could be better by being yourself ;

Why pretend to be someone you are not, When you have something they haven't got ?

( Ellen Bailey)

When your happiness depends on what somebody else does or does not do, you are trapped, because you cannot control what they think or what they do. But, you will discover true-liberation-a freedom beyond your wildest dreams-when you discover that your joy does not depend on anyone else. Your joy only depends on what you choose to give your attention to.

( Esther and Jerry Hicks)

When you are in love or when love arises, cooperate with it, don't try resisting. People come to a compromise. The compromise is : You don't hurt me, i will not hurt. That's what marriage is. Then people become settled. They become so afraid of the pain that they say," Don't hurt me and i will not hurt you". But then when pain disappears, love also disappears. They exist together. In Love, pain is a blessing. (Source:Times of India)

 Know that you are unique :- If you pause for a moment to consider that there never has been nor will there ever be anyone else exactly like you, you will know why being yourself is more important than anything else; and you will be able to sidestep the very commonly prevalent fear or pressure that traps us into blind conformity.

Money is nothing more than a tool. It can be a force for good, a force for evil, or simply be idle.
 ( Jim Stovall)

You are up and you are happy. You are down and you are sad. All ups and downs help you to find a balance in your being. Once balanced, no more ups and downs; only bliss and joy and silence and gratitude. (Tishan)
