We are what we eat...

Eat well, we get well...
Eat fine, we will be fine...
Eat rotten, we get rotten...
Eat poor, we get poor health...

Eat plenty, to feed all cells...
Eat variety, to produce lively cells...
Eat well, our immune system fights well...
Eat poor, our immune system is defeated...

Eat balance, our body metabolism is balanced...
Eat unbalanced, our body metabolism becomes out of balance...
Eat excess, you get overweight...
Eat in distress, you get indigestion and wait...

A multitude of illnesses follow...
A multitude of dis-eases follow...
So, who should we blame?
So, who is at fault, say its name!

Smile means many things...
S = simply accept it
M - make the most of it
I - introduce and accept new ways
L - love isn't destroyed by handicaps
E - enthusiastic to live out the best of you!

Where is there no rain?
Where is there no pain?
Cheers to those who pass this adversity test!
Cheers to those who understand God's test!

"Your impatience is my patience..".

Your impatience needs my patience!

Why be irritated and agitated?

There are times that we need

to sort things out or be sorry....

Why should one be that hurt

when what we need is just to relax???

Why should one not pass the test

when what we need is just to ignore???

His impatience needs her patience....

Her impatience needs his patience....

Do we learn from there or

wait for the volcanoes to erupt???

Smile and the flowers smile back to you....

Beauty is in everything, see it, smell it, and gently touch it..and you will be pleased by what you feel...

It is necessary to get rid of negative shortcomings with firm determination and to achieve success in life for here and hereafter...

Be Honest

If a person once entangles himself
in falsehood and intrigues, in spite of making countless efforts,
he can never get out of it, and day-by-day
he will keep moving toward his downfall.

We never improve our personality
keeping these elements within us or as a part our habits.
When we are successful in concealing our first dishonest act,
it is easier for us to commit the second one.

When it goes on for some time,
to be dishonest will be almost a part of us.
Our conscience will not prick us anymore.

Lies, treachery, manipulation and fraud
are such aspects of one's personality,
which will lead to failure, insult and defamation.

It is necessary to get rid of these
negative shortcomings, with firm determination,
in order to achieve success in life for here and hereafter.

Honesty is one of the pillars on which
the moral survival of the world depends.

Love is Divine...

Love is Divine.
To render an act fit
to be offered to God and pure enough
to win His Grace, it has to be
a manifestation of love.

Love is not affected or
modified by considerations of
caste, creed, or religion; it cannot
be tarnished by envy, malice or hate.

Preserve love from being poisoned
by these evils; endeavour to cultivate
a broad mind, uncontaminated by feelings
of hatred and parochialism.

The root of all religions,
the substance of all scriptures,
the destination of all paths,
the inspiration of all individuals is the Principle of Love.

It is the firmest foundation for man's mission of Life.
It is the Light that ensures peace and prosperity in the world.

the whole world, the whole creation will appear to you as a reflection of love.

Happiness is something one decide on ahead of time...

Happiness is own made,
Happiness is own baked...
Happiness is something one decide,
ahead of time....

Happiness is a great deal...
Happiness is a real booster...
Happiness is tapped,
ahead of time...

Close your eyes to visualize happiness...
It glows and you will feel the warmth expanding...
Chose to venture into fields of happiness...
It is the Intention of the Divine to be accepting...

Be receptive of great happenings...
Be grateful of all creations and happenings...
Give before you take...
Pray and give thanks before you eat...

Be happy, choose to be happy...

Be an appreciator, not a depreciator...

When one appreciates, one looks at values...
When one depreciates, one subtracts values...
Choose to appreciate, to look at each other's values...
Choose not to depreciate, it loses one's values...

Be priceless and of value...
Be attentive to adding values...
You are intended to be of value...
Just that you misplaced your values...

Be of value...

Post 730, The power of choice... Allow yourself to open to the doors of happiness...

Somebody criticises you,
Somebody offends you,
Somebody condemns you,
Somebody purposely angers you....

What can you do?

Where is there this defense system?
We aren't going to allow anger or sadness to interupt us...
Where is there this immune system?
We can close the door to despite and hurt!

Yes, there is...

Just apply the power of choice...
Just do not allow our emotions to be disturbed...
Just heed not what was being thrown at you...
We listened, but we never heard it's meaning that was meant to hurt....

Yes, there is..

The power of choice....
Choose not to be disturbed...
Choose not to open the door of your heart...
Forgive them, they don't know their wrongs....

Yes, there is...

Learn to undigest and delete...
Learn to reprogram and regenerate...
Why allow negative energies to influence us?
Why allow low energies to distract us?

LAUGH & FORGET ABOUT IT!

Viewing uncensored videos or movies is bad influence for most people...

I used to be on the move, sometimes I am on board a ship, sometimes flying and occasionally by bus. Yesterday morning, I happened to be on an express boat heading to a small town upstreams.

Kapit was my destination. I was travelling along Rejang River and bought a seat at the first class cabin. I was enjoying my cruise and was familiarizing its environment. I was relaxing and visualizing happily in my own sweet dimensions when I was abruptly jolted awake...

Just a few seats in front of me, was a television set and was playing a video. I couldn't possibly shut out my ears or eyes and was unintentionally watching the video too. If I am not mistaken, the video was about doomsday! Worst still, the other movie that followed was another video, Tokyo's shock, something to do with machine girl.

It contained such cruel, disturbing, revolting and foul languages repeated and emphasized on murdering as if these people were a pack of chickens lead to slaughter! Definitely I know that it was never real! But I found it really disgusting. I might be too sensitive, one may say, but definitely I won't let my small children watch them.

I describe it as such bad influence, unknowingly planting these seeds of hostility spiced with foul languages unsuitable for most people with unstable minds. Our eyes are like a camera, recording what we see and then installed inside our brain cells.

Won't it be better that we install beautiful, meaningful, graceful and educational pictures or languages inside our brain cells? It is quality Moral Quotient that most people are lacking... If we have this power of choice, please choose carefully... we are what we see, learn and acquire... Choose to feel peaceful and grateful... life definitely is beautiful...

Plant love, harvest love, spread love, apply love, only then it will bind our world peaceful and hopeful...

There are certain energies that are low and negative.. that make one very unhappy and un-successful....

There are certain low energies that one should be aware of. Such low energies are collectively known as emotional disturbances that include:
- anger
- hatred
- frustration
- fear
- worries
- suspicion
- irritation
- impatience

The more low energies one allow into us, the further away we are from success... Thus think twice what to allow inside us. Thus to be unhappy, one needs to wander into the garden of low energies... be careful of what we allow inside us... Invest in things we do or feelings that make one feel real GOOD... Thus the importance of being emotionally stable. Learn to apply the power of equanimity towards emotions too.

Love contains the highest positive energies that heals and creates while it multiplies...

Change our thoughts, change our lives...

心想事成 what our heart wants, can be fulfilled...

Many a times, our heart, our mind, our goals can be realized. But how many can allow oneself to go nearer to achieving them? If our mind wills it, our goals can be achieved.

Like one great phrase said,"What our mind can conceive and believe, we can achieve!' But how many of us can believe so? How many of us dare to put in efforts to focusingly allow it to happen?

The power of intention, the law of attraction, if there is a will, there is a way, and in mandarin, 心想事成 and some others of the same kind all explains that one can achieve one's goals if he really allows his goals to become alive.

We have many wishes, just mere wishing, but why not put this phrase,'Your wishes be done' into our mind to convert them into positive energies that will align us to the highest source of power that will realize our wishes! It is a mere change of mind to want to succeed or not. As simple as that... and it works!

Money is just a piece of paper in the eyes of God... it is we who put value into them...

Midas Gold Touch you have...

Turning all things into gold and cash...

But gold is cold, it is lifeless...

And time is precious, relationship priceless...

Treasure this friendship...

Genuine friendship is rare treasure...

Look at the gold that shines so cold...

It glitters but it cannot buy love or friendship,

my dear soulmate...

Money may provide all the comforts and conveniences, but can it confer mental peace?

Money may provide all the comforts and conveniences,

but can it confer mental peace? No. Only spirituality can grant peace of mind.

There are 2 forms of love, one binds you to God, the other binds you to the world...

There are two forms of Love.
One binds you to God.
The other binds you to the world.

The mind is responsible
for either of these states.
The mind can be compared to a lock.

If you turn the key to
the right, the lock opens.
If you turn the key to
the left, it gets locked.

The heart is the key
to the lock of the mind.
If you turn the key towards the world,
you have attachment and bondage;
when you turn it towards God, you achieve liberation.

That is why, it has been declared
that the mind is the cause of human
bondage or liberation.

When it is filled with wisdom,
it makes a man a saint.
When it is associated with ignorance,
it turns into an agent of death.

Do not carry heavy and unwanted luggage with you...

Life is like a train journey.
You have a long way to go.
You must learn to make
your journey comfortable.

Do not carry heavy and
unwanted luggage with you.
That will make the journey miserable.
Similarly, do not indulge in fault-finding
and picking quarrels with others.

Don't desire to have the
best things for yourselves only.
Share with others around,
the good things you are given.

Anger, hatred, envy, jealousy,
these are the heavy luggage
God ask you to avoid taking with you in the journey.

Respect and revere your parents as God.

Respect and Revere your parents as God.
Offer salutations to them when you wake up
in the morning, before you go to school and
when you go to bed at night. Never argue with them.
Try to convince them with love.

Remember that as you sow, so shall you reap.
Whatever you do to your parents, your children
will do the same to you. Never talk to them rudely. Be obedient.

Why should we attain perfect equanimity?

There is a tendency to interpret
renunciation as merely giving up worldly attachments.

Renunciation truly means
attaining perfect equanimity.
People may criticize you or praise you,
take them both with a sense of equanimity.

One may try to harm you while
another may try to do you a good turn;
treat both situations with equanimity.

In one business venture, you may incur a loss
while in another you may make a profit; treat them both alike.

Equanimity is the hallmark of spiritual attainment.

Don't remain inside your 'hard shell', come out and be yourself..

We are kind enough to give,
We are human enough to feel,
We are passionate enough to love,
We are compassionate enough to love...
but atlas, life is the other way...

Life isn't what we ought to get...
Life isn't without troubles and hate...
Life isn't without getting jilted...
Life isn't without getting hurt...
and atlas, we do hide inside our shell...

We lost our smiles,
We lost our hopes,
We lost our appetites,
We lost our directions...
and atlas, who will really understand?

Families want us to get well...

Friends came knocking on our shells,
Colleagues came showering concern,
All prayed for our safe and immediate return...
and at last, we crawled out of our shells...

Be brave, be courageous...
Be strong, be adventurous...
Life is all on different learning stages...
Life is all about living out the best of ages...
and at last, we succeeded in crushing negatives...

Cheers... the sun once again shines...
Cheers... the stars once again twinkles...
If you yourself cannot appreciate happiness...
Who is going to help you build your happiness?
so, eventually, we agree to be at ease and live in happiness!

6 essential qualities that are the key to success... sincerity, personal integrity, humility, courtesy, wisdom & charity, plant them into ur character

Anyone who is successful must have dreamt about it..., thus nest upon the thoughts, it is achievable!

You make a living by what you get, you make a life by what you give...

Rare beauty... a wonderous sight to our eyes...

Nature is love in the budding, such perfection and unique...

Fill your heart with love and chant the divine name...

Fill your heart with love
and chant the divine name.
Only then can you attain Divinity.

Perform all your activities with love.
Love should originate from the source,
i.e., the heart and not by force.

Today people chant the Divine name,
not from source, but out of force.
No benefit accrues from chanting
the Divine name unless it is done wholeheartedly.

Anger is not a human quality...

Humanity can rise to Divinity through sense control.
When you get angry, remind yourself
that anger is not a human quality;
it is an animal quality.

Anger is the quality of a dog.
When you are angry, tell yourself,
"I am not a dog, I am a man."
Similarly when your mind wavers, tell yourself repeatedly,

"I am not a monkey, I am a man."
Truth, Righteousness, Peace, Love and Non-violence
are the true human values. Losing any one of these
values amounts to losing one's life principle itself.

The body, mind, senses and intellect are all negatives in nature...

The body, mind, senses

and intellect are all negative in nature.

Only the conscience is positive.

Just as the microphone is useless

without the current, so also are

the body, mind, senses and intellect

without the conscience.

Do not hate, harm or criticize anybody...

The conscience that exists in
every one is one and the same,
just as the current that flows
through different bulbs is the same.

All are one. So, do not hate,
harm or criticize anybody.
He is a noble one, who conducts himself
without hurting others and not being
troubled in the process himself.

Give up vices like smoking....

In order to have sacred thoughts,

give up vices like smoking, consumption

of non-vegetarian food and intoxicants.

Do not waste food, money, time and energy.

Man is bound to face the consequences of his actions...

Man is bound to face the
consequences of his actions,
be they good or bad, small or big.

It is most essential for man
to understand this truth and act accordingly.

Before undertaking any action,
enquire whether it is good or bad, right or wrong

The mind must become the servant of the intellect, not the slave of the senses...

The mind must become the servant
of the intellect, not the slave of the senses.

It must discriminate and detach
itself from identification with the body.

The kernel of the ripe tamarind fruit
is not attached to the outer shell;
likewise the mind must be unattached
to this shell called the body.

Strike an unripe tamarind fruit
with a stone and you cause harm
to the pulp inside; but, when you
strike the ripe fruit it is the dry rind that falls off;
nothing affects the pulp or the seed.

The mature aspirant does not feel
the blows of fate or fortune; it is the
unripe one who is wounded by every blow.

Actions depend on the mind, the mind on thoughts...

Actions depend on the mind, the mind on thoughts.
As are the thoughts, so is the action.

Hence, for the world to be peaceful
and prosperous, man should foster truthful thoughts.

Today man has strayed away from the 3-fold path of truth, righteousness and sacrifice

Today man has strayed away from
the three-fold path of truth, righteousness and sacrifice.

As a result, humanness is on the decline.
It makes one really wonder whether a true

A true human being is one who has harmony in thought, word and deed.

Attachment causes pain...

Attachment causes pain, and detachment results in joy.
But, you cannot easily detach yourself from activity;
the mind clings to something or the other.

Make it cling to God, let it perform all actions for God
and leave the success or failure, the loss and the profit,
the elation or the dejection, to God.

This is the secret of Peace and contentment.

Follow the heart, do not follow the head, lest you should be caught up in the mire of worldly life...

Follow the heart, do not follow the head,
lest you should be caught up in the mire of worldly life.

Head puts you in many dangers.
If you follow the head, you may lose your head itself!

Turn your vision inward.
Follow the heart, which is the source
of all the noble qualities like truth, righteousness,
peace, love and non-violence.
