KEEP ME CLOSE LORD, TO YOUR DOOR
(Tagore)

O keep me close Lord to your door in good deeds everyday
O I will carry your orders and wander amidst lord your kingdoms
By ever involving in temptations I would not remain in idleness
O life has been battered in the shame of bafled days!
In senseless doubts of diverse kinds, let met not be encircled
In manifold hopes of savings, let me not tread separate avenues
O in fearless glory I will wander in the guise of Lord your servant alone

LOOK AT THE ROOTS (From oh life relax please)

Many of you have high regard for Japanese products that are sold all over the world. Many American and European companies are in mortal fear of the invasion of Japanese products in the markets.

Let us take an examble of the honda company, a leading automobile manufacturer. In one traces the roots of this company one can find the preseverance of a very simple and ordinary Japanese man named Honda.

Honda was a simple person. He attempted to design a new type of piston to improve the performance of cars. He was sure his attempt would yeild path breaking results. He offered his designs to Toyota. The engineers turned his offer down without even meeting him. But he did not lose heart. His repeated his attempts at meeting Toyota engineers finally succeeded but only to see that his product was ridiculed by them. Not losing heart, he went into great details to convince them. At last he obtained an order to supply pistons to Toyota. Honda invested all his resources - money, knowledge hard work as capital and constructed a part of producing pistons. Suddenly there was an earthquake in Japan that destroyed his factory.

Yet Honda reposed faith in his own ability!

Once again, he started consturction afresh.

When it was ready and the production was to start the following week, World War II broke out. Bombs bombarded Japan and most of the country was devastated and so was Honda's factory.

Although Honda lost his FACTORY, PROPERTY, WEALTH, AND FRIENDS , he did not lost his self confidence. He continued his efforts and began to construct his factory for the third time.

Today, finally the Honda Car Company produces and sells more cars than toyota. Honda was not only an example for the word perseverance, but also added honour to it.

ARE YOU HUMBLE?

There is a story of a king in Sree Maha Bhagavatham. He was the king of Kurusham, neighboring kingdom of Kashi. His name was Paundraka Vasudevan. From his childhood, people surrounded him made him believe that he is God Vasudevan. His associates, close friends all allow his ego to fly in heights in a way that he believed that he is the god of this universe. He had people around him in support for what he wanted to do in his kingdom. For sreevatsa, he burnt his chest to imprint the mark of Brigu, designed an expensive gem, wore it in his neck and named it as Kaustab. A sudarsan was made in Iron and he carried it in his right hand. He assumed himself as god and he was informed by his associates that a cowherd named Krishna is wearing his symbols in Dwaraka and as the real Vasudev you should invite him to your kingdom and reprimand him. Paundraka Vasudevan, blinded by his associates informed one of his messengers to go to dwaraka and explained the matter. Krishna listening to Poundraka Vasudevan's claims reached Kurusham and surprised the way in which king decked in his attire. After seeing Krishna, Poundraka Vasudevan got agitated and sent his irom chakra to Krishna and in turn Krishna called Sudarshan and finished of Poundraka Vasudevan. He attained salvation through the hands of God.

It is true that you can believe you are a mega star or even god yourself and believe in things that with the help of your associates who stand by you if you are a king like Paundraka Vasudevan. And when you have people around you to sing laurels you can assume that you are a super star, it is natural. And you don't need to be humble in your standards to paste a label on your forehead and announce it publicaly through your own alien masks. I have not seen humble humans claiming aloud that they are humble. Humble humans never throw shoes or sting on their enemies and a good humble friend will never assist some one to do such a thing. A good freind or associate always help a human not to harm or haunt a fellow human and they will never disturb a human. But it can happen if you believe how Paundraka Vasudevan beleived. It is unbelievable that after doing a round of criminal activities how people justify. Is that called humbleness?. Masked ones can do any kind of dramas according to situations and they pretend to be humble when things go wrong against them to earn mileage. May be you are also ignorant like Paundraka Vasudevan, not knowing who exactly you are and you believe and assume you are a mega star as your associates sing laurels in your favour at your doorstep.

I do not like to paste on my forehead a sheet of paper that I am humble. I am humble with real great people, tough with traitors and rough with criminals. I am humbled to God now that he showed me the thickest layers of a humble lucifer and how much damage that effect can cause to the life of a human. A weed stands a better chance to be in God's garden than a lucifer affected mind. Being humble is not a stage show act. You should be humble from within.

NEWS OR NUISANCE

I know a friend who stopped reading newspapers. She does not even watch news channels. She says media creates sensations and most of the stories appear there are fabricated with an intention to escalate TRP. Competition among news channels and tragedies of humans, sting operations.. Their activities contain ingredients of a James Bond Movie or a Bollywood Super Hit. Certainly media helps a few. But in a wild world of competition they do it as a gimmick to grab more publicity. Today it is an able chief minister's death they prefer to mourn and the very next day they bring a corrupt chief minister as a guest editor in front page. Honest missions or honest sensations; look at the contradiction..... That is media, indeed.

Recently, there was this news about a fashion designer's arrest and his imprisonment in the US. Rape is a crime and if he is guilty he should be punished. But going with the media coverage this fashion designer received verbal abuses and life sentence where as a white commits a rape in India, Indian system prefers to treat him like an elite and even in one English bulletin showed pictures of one white short fat man over a drink attempted an attack on one Indian in a star hotel . She, an Indian entrepreneur, bold enough to file a case against him. But what punishment he got you know you get a western toilet and special butter toast for break fast even in police station. If you are white and if you have elite class as friends you get even preferential treatment. Even you can liberally threaten the victim through dire consequences if you have got media connections. And a woman who claims to be elite, ran away overnight from her husband and children can come out in support for you and openly preach through sub standard weeklies about values of Indian Women and culture of India. World is a place with such groups, prefer to say groups not India as a whole.

What more....? Jesus would have smiled even in his cross of sufferings when a rapist tried to equate himself to Jesus. Jesus for sure forgives sinners but not the people who knowingly keep doing the same crime again and again. And the choice is upto you to remain as a criminal of schemes and stings or to remain as a human being in this world.

All prayers to the divine, irrespecitve of religion or religious bias reach to one supreme god.
This prayer to Jesus also shows how a human can relate to God a supreme power-we humans call in different names.

Prayer to Jesus, the Word Incarnate

Lord Jesus, by faith in your merits, I now take your precious blood and annoint myself right from the crown of my head to the sole of my feet. I claim total protection for my life.

Lord Jesus protect me today from all evil sin temptaion attacks of the devil, afflictions fear of darkness fear of man, sickness and from all that is not of your kingdom.
