    I just came across some beautiful lines on one leaflet and could not resist the temptation to share thes lines with my beautiful IL friends.

    Dare to Believe...


    "Everybody knows.....
    You can't be all things to all people,
    You can't do all things at once.
    You can't do all things equally well.
    Your humanity is showing just like everyone else's.

    So....
    You have to find out who you are, and be that.
    You have to decide what comes first, and do that.
    You have to discover your strengths, and use them.
    You have to learn not to compete with others.
    Because no one else is in the contest of "being you".

    Then...
    You will have learned to accept your own uniqueness.
    You will have learned to set priorities and make decisions.
    You will have learned to live with your limitations.
    You will have learned to give yourself the respect that is due,
    and you'll be a most vital mortal.


    Dare to believe....
    That you are a wonderful unique person,
    That you are a once-in-all-history event.
    That it's more than a right, it's your duty, to be who you are.
    That life is not a problem to solve, but a gift to cherish.
    And you'll be able to stay one up on what used to get you down."

    What a great message in those wonderful lines. If we look inside of us and understand ourselves better, the whole world will be beautiful. After all it is our mind that creates the world for us. For some, the world is a beautiful place to live while for others the world is a problem. We are a fountain of Sathya, Dharma, Shanti and Prema and this knowledge resides inside us. Our mind is the key that could open the lock and make those great qualities to manifest. Once it is unlocked, our character will be like a bright shining Sun and the whole world would benefit out of that light. When it is unlocked, we don't see the world any different than us and hence it becomes a treasure to cherish. Our ignorance will die in that light like darkness shying away when the Sun comes out. Our desires and attachments would disappear and we would achieve total equanimity.

    How meaningless it is to look outside of us for minor happiness in the world when we have a treasure of Bliss inside of us.

    Thank you sooo much Viswa sir. Your each word is precious.

    Thanks once again. I feel that I am going on right track with what I am thinking when I see your approval of the feelings in the text.

    Best regards,
