 (30) Beware!!!! Your Thoughts are Tagged?  (30)   “Rafael, you told that God is in heaven. How do we reach there?” “Easy we’ll have to build the tower of Babel once more.” “What? The tower which created cultures and religions?” “Yes, the very same, that is the only way to Heaven, but this time not with stones or cement but with  all that you have, no one can build a house with only one ingredient. Am I right or wrong?” “You are absolutely right. It surely would fall down. So what are the ingredients?” “First and foremost, your thoughts. The thoughts which you think cannot be seen by anybody, but that which is an integral part of your identity." All nodded “Actually its very cozy, to be with thoughts, isn’t Rafael?” “Yes it is, but you should know, that thought is the root cause of all that is good and evil, just like atoms of nature, just like bricks of a house.” “Really? Wow!!! That’s cool.” All nodded “Yes Mark, it is ...

story about a MOTHER’S LOVE written by an unknown Author My Mother’s LoveMy mom had only one eye. I hated her …She was such an embarrassment. She cooked for students and teachers to support the family. One day during elementary school, my mom came to say hello to me. I was so embarrassed. I ignored her, threw her a hateful look and ran out. The next day at school one of my classmates said, ”EEEEE, your mom has only one eye!” I wanted to bury myself. I also wanted my mom to just disappear. So I confronted her that day and said,” Are you going to make me a laughing stock, why don’t you just die?!!!” My mom did not respond…I didn’t even stop to think for a second about what I had said, because I was full of anger. I was oblivious to her feelings. I wanted her out of that house, and have nothing to do with her. So I studied real hard, got a chance to go to Singapore to study. Then, I got married. I bought a house of my own. I had kids of my own. I was happy with my life, my kids and the...

Though my topic is mostly on Maternal love and care, it doesn’t mean that Paternal or father’s love isn’t necessary or isn’t important. Parents(both father and mother), who love children unconditionally, serve as excellent role models. All facets of parental love and care are of vital importance to children's all-round growth. Love expressed in silent, unspoken ways, can have a powerful impact on children's lives. But demonstrating love freely in as many different ways possible can be a powerful elixir in children’s lives. That is possible with a mother and that’s what I w ould like to focus here. Nature entrusted the job of bringing up kids primarily to mothers because of their natural intuitive mind and patience. Young kids in their growing age are like saplings, very delicate. Any harsh treatment damages the sapling and retards its proper growth. The kids have to be guided with love and lots of understanding. Little things matter in parenting little kids. Children need to b...

              Now for the best part, what is the technique to reach the said goal? Well I have just a story to tell you which really touched my heart and it would do the same for you too. And I want you to remember it when you are not happy as a person.                One evening a Swamiji of Sri Ramakrishna Mutt was addressing the participants on the concept of work culture. One of the participants asked    the following question to the Swamiji: "I am the headmaster of a very reputed school. I joined this school 25 years ago as an ordinary teacher and over the last 25 years I have gone through every experience in the school and I am now the senior teacher as well as the headmaster with all perks and independence. During the initial part of my career, the job was very challenging and    interesting. Every day was exciting and I looked...

This   is a vast subject, with lots of ideas and ideals.   Everybody will have their own opinion on who is a good teacher, because it is impossible to please everybody at the same time. It is very difficult to say what a good teacher is. But as an experienced teacher, I think that the qualities that a teacher should maintain are the abilities to relate to their students on their own level, make learning fun and easy to understand, be nice, so students will listen, make the kids look forward to entering the classroom, and above all.... maintain control. Then we also can say, that a good teacher is someone who can learn from his students, who can learn with them, one who has no bias, open eyes to see and explore life and learning itself. He also must be honest in his relationships with students, and proud enough about his own value to work, from there, on helping his students to build their own self esteem. Now I would like to ask you all a question? Do you have a philosophy as ...
