The link between Man & God is FAITH

Really worth reading...

Awesome Conversation (Must Read) Don't miss even a single word... Too good An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the problem science has with God, The Almighty. He asks one of his new students to stand and..... Prof:-So you believe in God? Student:-Absolutely, sir. Prof: -Is God good? Student:-Sure. Prof:-Is God all-powerful? Student: -Yes. Prof:-My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn't. How is this God good then? Hmm? (Student is silent.) Prof:-You can't answer, can you? Let's start again, young fellow Is God well? Student:-Yes. Prof:-Is Satan good? Student: - No. Prof:-Where does Satan come from? Student:-From...God.... Prof:-That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world? Student:-Yes. Prof:-Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything. Correct? Student:-Yes. Prof:-So who created evil? (Student does not answer.) Prof:-Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don't they? Student:-Yes, sir. Prof:-So, who created them? (Student has no answer.) Prof:-Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son...Have you ever seen God? Student:-No, sir. Prof:-Tell us if you have ever heard your God? Student:-No, sir. Prof:-Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smelt your God? Have you ever had any sensory perception of God for that matter? Student:-No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't. Prof: -Yet you still believe in Him? Student:-Yes. Prof:-According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son? Student:-Nothing. I only have my faith. Prof:-Yes. Faith. And that is the problem science has. Student:-Professor, is there such a thing as heat? Prof:-Yes. Student:-And is there such a thing as cold? Prof:-Yes. Student:-No sir. There isn't. (The lecture theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events.) Student-: Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don't have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it. (There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.) Student:-What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness? Prof:-Yes. What is night if there isn't darkness? Student:-You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light....But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and its called darkness, isn't it? In reality, darkness isn't. If it were you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you? Prof:-So what is the point you are making, young man? Student:-Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed. Prof:-Flawed? Can you explain how? Student:-Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science can't even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey? Prof:-If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do. Student:-Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir? (The Professor shakes his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument is going.) Student:-Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher? (The class is in uproar.) Student:-Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor's brain? (The class breaks out into laughter.) Student: - Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir? (The room is silent. The professor stares at the student, his face unfathomable.) Prof:-I guess you'll have to take them on faith, son. Student:-That is it sir.... The link between man & god is FAITH . That is all that keeps things moving & alive.

**काँच की बरनी और दो कप चाय **

**काँच की बरनी और दो कप चाय **


जीवन में जब सब कुछ एक साथ और जल्दी - जल्दी करने की इच्छा होती है , सब कुछ तेजी
से पा लेने की इच्छा होती है , और हमें लगने लगता है कि दिन के चौबीस घंटे भी कम
पड़ते हैं , उस समय ये बोध कथा , " काँच की बरनी और दो कप चाय " हमें याद आती
है ।

दर्शनशास्त्र के एक प्रोफ़ेसर कक्षा में आये और उन्होंने छात्रों से कहा कि वे
आज जीवन का एक महत्वपूर्ण पाठ पढाने वाले हैं ...

उन्होंने अपने साथ लाई एक काँच की बडी़ बरनी ( जार ) टेबल पर रखा और उसमें टेबल
टेनिस की गेंदें डालने लगे और तब तक डालते रहे जब तक कि उसमें एक भी गेंद समाने
की जगह नहीं बची ... उन्होंने छात्रों से पूछा - क्या बरनी पूरी भर गई ? हाँ ...
आवाज आई ... फ़िर प्रोफ़ेसर साहब ने छोटे - छोटे कंकर उसमें भरने शुरु किये h धीरे
- धीरे बरनी को हिलाया तो काफ़ी सारे कंकर उसमें जहाँ जगह खाली थी , समा गये , फ़िर
से प्रोफ़ेसर साहब ने पूछा , क्या अब बरनी भर गई है , छात्रों ने एक बार फ़िर हाँ
... कहा अब प्रोफ़ेसर साहब ने रेत की थैली से हौले - हौले उस बरनी में रेत डालना
शुरु किया , वह रेत भी उस जार में जहाँ संभव था बैठ गई , अब छात्र अपनी नादानी पर
हँसे ... फ़िर प्रोफ़ेसर साहब ने पूछा , क्यों अब तो यह बरनी पूरी भर गई ना ? हाँ
.. अब तो पूरी भर गई है .. सभी ने एक स्वर में कहा .. सर ने टेबल के नीचे से
चाय के दो कप निकालकर उसमें की चाय जार में डाली , चाय भी रेत के बीच स्थित
थोडी़ सी जगह में सोख ली गई ...

प्रोफ़ेसर साहब ने गंभीर आवाज में समझाना शुरु किया –


इस काँच की बरनी को तुम लोग अपना जीवन समझो ....

टेबल टेनिस की गेंदें सबसे महत्वपूर्ण भाग अर्थात भगवान , परिवार , बच्चे , मित्र
, स्वास्थ्य और शौक हैं ,

छोटे कंकर मतलब तुम्हारी नौकरी , कार , बडा़ मकान आदि हैं , और

रेत का मतलब और भी छोटी - छोटी बेकार सी बातें , मनमुटाव , झगडे़ है ..
अब यदि तुमने काँच की बरनी में सबसे पहले रेत भरी होती तो टेबल टेनिस की
गेंदों और कंकरों के लिये जगह ही नहीं बचती , या कंकर भर दिये होते तो गेंदें नहीं
भर पाते , रेत जरूर आ सकती थी ...
ठीक यही बात जीवन पर लागू होती है ... यदि तुम छोटी - छोटी बातों के पीछे
पडे़ रहोगे और अपनी ऊर्जा उसमें नष्ट करोगे तो तुम्हारे पास मुख्य बातों के लिये अधिक समय नहीं रहेगा ... मन के सुख के लिये क्या जरूरी है ये तुम्हें तय करना है । अपने
बच्चों के साथ खेलो , बगीचे में पानी डालो , सुबह पत्नी के साथ घूमने निकल जाओ ,
घर के बेकार सामान को बाहर निकाल फ़ेंको , मेडिकल चेक - अप करवाओ ... टेबल टेनिस
गेंदों की फ़िक्र पहले करो , वही महत्वपूर्ण है ... पहले तय करो कि क्या जरूरी है
... बाकी सब तो रेत है ..

छात्र बडे़ ध्यान से सुन रहे थे .. अचानक एक ने पूछा , सर लेकिन आपने यह
नहीं बताया
कि " चाय के दो कप " क्या हैं ? प्रोफ़ेसर मुस्कुराये , बोले .. मैं सोच ही
रहा था कि अभी तक ये सवाल किसी ने क्यों नहीं किया ...
इसका उत्तर यह है कि , जीवन हमें कितना ही परिपूर्ण और संतुष्ट लगे , लेकिन
अपने खास मित्र के साथ दो कप चाय पीने की जगह हमेशा होनी चाहिये ।

A winner is the one who never QUITS

One of the Best Email I got

When Thomas Edison invented the light bulb, he tried over 2000 eperiments before he got it to work. A young reporter asked him how it felt to fail so many times. He said, "I never failed once. I invented the light bulb. It just happened to be a 2000-step process."

Wilma Rudolph was the 20th of 22 children. She was born prematurely and her survival was doubtful. When she was 4 years old, she contacted double pneumonia and scarlet fever, which left her with a paralysed left leg. At age 9, she removed the metal leg brace she had been dependent on and began to walk without it. By 13 she had developed a rhythmicwalk, which doctors said was a miracle. That same year she decided to become a runner. She entered a race and came in last. For the next few years every race she entered, she came in last. Everyone told her to quit, but she kept on running. One day she actually won a race. And then another. From then on she won every race she entered. Eventually this little girl, who was told she would never walk again, went on to win three Olympic gold medals.

The Moral of the above Stories

Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experiences of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired and success achieved. You gain strength, experience and confidence by every single experience where you really stop to look fear in the face.... You must do the thing you cannot do. And remember, the finest steel gets sent through the hottest furnace.

A winner is not one who never fails, but one who NEVER QUITS!

People who make a difference in your life are the ones who care

Charles Schultz Philosophy

You don't have to actually answer the questions.

1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.

2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.

3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America Contest.

4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.

5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and

actress.

6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.

How did you do?

The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday. They are

not second-rate achievers. They are the best in their fields. But the

applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten. Accolades and

certificates are buried with their owners.

Here's another quiz. See how you do on this one:

1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.

2.. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.

3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.

4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.

5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.

Easier?

The lesson: The people who make a difference in your life are NOT the ones

with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They are

the ones who care.

USE FAILURE FOR SUCCESS

Most of us think that passion being " SOMETHING UNCONTROLLABLE "

"You either have it or you don't have it."

It's like a lightning strike or winning a lottery.

It happens to the few and rest of us are out of luck.

But things are not like that, passion can be generated.

Now the question is how it can be generated?

For Example: Passion is directly proportional to the intensity towards your goal.

If intensity is 100 % then passion will be generated automatically & vice versa.

Now how we can use our failure for success:

"Failure is an essential part of success but only when you learn out of it or you learn from it."

How :

1) Keep a small note book with you.

2) Analyze your errors.

3) Note where your performance strayed from the Ideal.

4) Try and try again.

5) But it is possible that you might fail but keep on trying.

6) That's just one gets back to deep practice

to feel better but "FAIL BETTER" towards perfection.

Get out of your comfort zone

Once there was a king who received a gift of two magnificent falcons from Arabia. They were peregrine falcons, the most beautiful birds he had ever seen. He gave the precious birds to his head falconer to be trained.

Months passed and one day the head falconer informed the king that though one of the falcons was flying majestically, soaring high in the sky, the other bird had not moved from its branch since the day it had arrived.

The king summoned healers and sorcerers from all the land to tend to the falcon, but no one could make the bird fly. He presented the task to the member of his court, but the next day, the king saw through the palace window that the bird had still not moved from its perch. Having tried everything else, the king thought to himself, "May be I need someone more familiar with the countryside to understand the nature of this problem." So he cried out to his court, "Go and get a farmer."

In the morning, the king was thrilled to see the falcon soaring high above the palace gardens. He said to his court, "Bring me the doer of this miracle."

The court quickly located the farmer, who came and stood before the king.

The king asked him, "How did you make the falcon fly?"

With his head bowed, the farmer said to the king, " It was very easy, your highness. I simply cut the branch where the bird was sitting."

We are all made to fly -- to realize our incredible potential as human beings. But instead of doing that, we sit on our branches, clinging to the things that are familiar to us. The possibilities are endless, but for most of us, they remain undiscovered. We conform to the familiar, the comfortable, the mundane. So for the most part, our lives are mediocre instead of exciting, thrilling and fulfilling.

So let us learn to destroy the branch of fear we cling to and free ourselves to the glory of flight.

I take a challenge everyday

I take a challenge everyday......

I take a challenge everyday,
That tomorrow should be better than today.
When I fight my innerself, I do lose battles sometime
But the war with myself, is what I win everytime.

I crib not, about what is gone
I forget the nights, start afresh every dawn.
Present, is what, I create and enjoy
Content am I, like a child with his toy.

What it is! matters, not to me
Coz I believe to see what can be.
Not blaming others, faults in me, is what I see
Coz I believe if it is to be it is up to me.

I just not know how to smile
But I believe in spreading a smile.
Its not easy to spread a smile,
For this, one needs to walk an extra mile.

Step by step, step by step, is how I tread the path,
In sea of failures, to reach success, I had to bath,
The fun lay, not in the destination
But journey itself was a fascination.

Nothing came free, but with success in mind
I payed the price, not just money, but in every kind.
What it is to successful, had I known
To reach it, double the efforts, would I have sown.

I counted not the seeds in a fruit
But counted the fruits that came from every root.
I hit the iron when it is hot
But ridicule in return is all I got.

I take a challenge everyday
That tomorrow should be better than today.
When I fight my innerself, I do lose battles sometime
But the war with myself, is what I win everytime.

I take a challenge everyday...

Change your Vision

There was a millionaire who was bothered by severe eye pain. He consulted

so many physicians and was getting his treatment done. He did not stop

consulting galaxy of medical experts; he consumed heavy loads of drugs and underwent hundreds of injections.

But the ache persisted with great vigor than before. At last a monk who was supposed to be an expert in treating such patients was called for by the millionaire. The monk understood his problem and said that for some time he should concentrate only on green colors and not to fall his eyes on any other colors. The millionaire got together a group of painters and purchased barrels of green color and directed that every object his eye was

likely to fall, to be painted in green color just as the monk had

directed.

When the monk came to visit him after few days, the

millionaire's servants ran with buckets of green paint and poured on him since he was in red dress, lest their master not see any other color and his eye ache would come back. Hearing this monk laughed said "If only you had purchased a pair of green spectacles, worth just a few rupees, you could have saved these walls and trees and pots and all other articles and also could have saved a large share of his fortune.

You cannot paint the world green." Let us change our vision and the world will appear accordingly. It is foolish to shape the world, let us shape ourselves first.

Let’s change our vision..!!
