    A night before the day of Matsya Vedh (Piercing Fish eye ) competition, Krishna and Arjuna are conversing.

    Krishna says, "Arjuna, take care, put your step forward and concentrate on the eye of the fish".

    Arjuna says, " If I have to do everything, then what will you do?"

    Krishna in a very soft tone tells him, "What you can't do, I will do".

    Arjuna asks, "And what is it that I can't do?"

    Krishna answers, "I will keep the water steady..."

    One is born in a first class hospital, the other is delivered at home, both survived.

    One went to a private primary school and the other to a public school, both ended in the same high school.

    One woke up from the bed and the other woke up on the floor, both had a peaceful sleep.

    One has expensive attire, the other simple and cheap, both still cover their body.

    One ate fried rice and Curry, the other ate home made rice n dal but both filled their hunger.

    One drives a Lexus, the other uses public transport but both reached their destination.

    One may be reading this post from a IPhone6+ and the other on an ordinary Smart phone, but all can see the same message.

    Lifestyle is not a competition, various lanes lead to the same destination.

    Just because our neighbour has amassed material posessions, it does not mean that we are a failure.

    Happiness doesn't come from having everything, but making the best out of what we have, it's all about how we see ourselves.

    Happiness is not having what we like. Happiness is liking what we have and learning to make the most of it by giving it!!!

    Happiness is a state of mind !!

    Shree Sai Amrit Katha says..

    Silence is a big virtue.
    It is the hardest thing to get, for silence is not necessarily silence of the tongue.

    Silence means *complete silence.*

    Silence is when you're at peace.
    Silence is when not a single atom of you is doing the talking.
    When every iota of you is silently doing its work, is in complete harmony with the system.
    Silence is when you've decided not to unnecessarily react to people and circumstances.
    It is when you have decided not to stress out and get fatigued.

    When you're silent, *Sai listens to you. There is a complete dialogue between you and Sai when every single breath you take is in harmony with nature.*

    *Learn to control yourself.*
    If you can do that, life will become easier.

    *There are 7 puzzles which the Buddha answered

    1: "What is *SHARPEST* thing in this world?"

    His people replied simultaneously: " *Sword*."

    Answer *Buddha*:
    The sharpest is the " *human tongue*"
    Because through the tongue, humans easily slander people, hurt the heart, hurt people's feelings, etc ...

    2: What has the *MOST* distance from us in this world?

    Some replied: " *Space, the moon, the sun*."

    Answer *Buddha*:
    The most distant is the " *Past*".
    Whoever we are, however rich we may be, we can NOT go back in time.
    Therefore we must make good use of today & days that will come.

    3: What is *BIGGEST*thing in this world?

    Someone replied:
    " *Mountain, Earth, Sun*.

    "Answer *Buddha*:
    The biggest one in the world is " *Lust*".

    Many humans become wretched because they indulge their lusts.
    All modes are justified in order to realize the dream and lust of the world.
    Therefore careful with lust ..!

    4: "What has the *MOST WEIGHT* in this world?

    "Someone replied:
    " *Steel, iron, elephant*."

    Answer *Buddha*:
    The hardest is " *Promise*".
    It's easy to say but hard to do.

    5: "What is *LIGHTEST* in this world?

    "Someone replied:
    " *Cotton, wind, dust, leaves*."

    Answer *Buddha*:
    The lightest in the world is " *Forgetting Me & Leaving Me*".

    Look at the many people who are chasing wealth and position, some simply leaves Me

    6: What is *CLOSEST* to us in this world?

    Someone replied:
    " *Parents, Friends, Friends, Relatives*."

    Answer *Buddha*:
    The closest to us is " *DEATH*".
    Because death is *SURE* and can happen any second.

    7: Last question:
    "What's the *Easiest* thing to do in this world?"

    They replied:
    " *Eating, sleeping, hanging out*"

    Answer *Buddha*:
    The easiest is SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE WITH OTHERS

    At the start of a workshop a facilitator made a rather strange commitment to his audience.

    He said that at the end of workshop he is going to introduce them to a person who will help them bring the change that they want to bring in themselves.

    The curious audience waited anxiously for the workshop to conclude so that they can meet this person.

    True to his promise, the facilitator informed participants that the person he spoke earlier about has indeed arrived and is waiting to meet them one by one in the adjacent room.

    Before he let participants go inside one by one he put down one simple condition for them to follow. He forbade them from talking to other participants.

    One by one each participant went inside the adjacent room and came back.

    The facilitator then addressed the participant and asked “Was the wait worth it?”

    Everyone nodded in agreement.

    So who was in the adjacent room?

    A mirror.

    I know you would have guessed that by now already.

    The facilitator concluded by saying “Change, like contentment, comes from within. Don’t seek it without.”

    So what is the point I am driving here?

    You are the catalyst of change within yourself.
    You can’t outsource it.
    You can’t wait for the spark to come from someone or something.
    No one else can do it for you.

    Japanese Story

    A 10-year-old boy decided to study judo despite the fact that he had lost his left arm in a devastating car accident.

    The boy began lessons with an old Japanese judo master.

    The boy was doing well, so he couldn’t understand why, after three months of training the master had taught him only ONE MOVE.

    Sensei = Teacher in Japanese

    The boy then said,

    “Shouldn’t I be learning more moves?”

    “This is the only move you know, but this is the only move you’ll ever need to know,” the sensei replied.

    Not quite understanding, but believing in his teacher, the boy kept training.

    Several months later, the sensei took the boy to his first tournament.

    Surprising himself, the boy easily won his first two matches.

    The third match proved to be more difficult, but after some time, his opponent became impatient and charged; the boy deftly used his ONE MOVE to win the match.

    Still amazed by his success, the boy was now in the finals.

    This time, his opponent was bigger, stronger, and more experienced.

    For a while, the boy appeared to be overmatched.

    Concerned that the boy might get hurt, the referee called a time-out.

    He was about to stop the match when the sensei intervened.

    “No,” the sensei insisted, “Let him continue.”

    Soon after the match resumed, his opponent made a critical mistake: he dropped his guard. Instantly,

    the boy used his ONE MOVE to pin him.

    The boy had won the match and the tournament.

    He was the champion.

    On the way home, the boy and sensei reviewed every move in each and every match.

    Then the boy summoned the courage to ask what was really on his mind.

    “Sensei, how did I win the tournament with only ONE MOVE?”

    “You won for two reasons the sensei answered. “First, you’ve almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo. And second, the only known defense for that move is for your opponent to grab your left arm.”

    The boy’s biggest weakness had become his biggest strength.

    ~ Moral of the Story

    Sometimes we feel that we have certain weaknesses and we blame God, the circumstances or ourselves for it but we never know that our weaknesses can become our biggest strengths one day.
    Each of us is special and important, so never think you have any weakness, never think of pride or pain, just live your life to its fullest and extract the best out of it!.
