 I from very young age, have used the sign of the cross and still using. I was thinking it was only for christians. But it was quite by accident, I came to know, another big truth underlying the sign of the cross before a prayer. (Don't ask me, what's the first truth. I don't know). I don't know any history or heritage of it. But I know one thing which gives credence to its significance, which we should respectfully use it by every human being in this Universe before they pray. Surprised!!! Don't be. So, let's check, with an example.  I will take my prayer. I make the sign of the cross and I start to pray, "God give me an Idea for my blog." If I believe in God, then I would not worry about it or doubt Him because I really know, that He will give me and I say, "Thank you , Bye." and make the sign of the cross and return. Here, the prayer will be answered immediately. But if I believe God is up in heaven and I have lots of unanswered prayers in

Today, my friend told me, that she was selfish when she was young. She didn't like sharing. She hated when her mother gave others good food, when it was entitled for her and her six siblings. But as she grew up, she transformed. It was the transformed person, who revived her past. So, what do you think, was she selfish and self centred? I will give you an example. After that you can answer the question. Have you seen babies? If they see anything that attractive, they just take it. They don't ask any permission. If we take it back, it cries, until it is returned. Do you think, the baby is selfish and self centred? You would say, it's baby, it doesn't understand. Exactly!! that's the case with everyone of us, even my friend. In some of our past, we have done, very bad and very shameful things.  Don't judge that thought or action or feeling. Just like when rain soaked your new dress, do you feel angry with the rain? Do you think, the rain did a wrong to you? No. Wh

 When you find that you and the person sitting near you are one and the same. No, I am not joking. Let me give you an example. Imagine God as an ocean and you are a drop of water, your sibling another drop of water, your friend another drop of water, your neighbour another drop of water, your enemy another drop of water, your boss another drop of water, your co-worker another drop of water, the beggar, another drop of water, the spider another drop of water, the snake, another drop of water, the tree, the tiger, the lion, whatever you see or not see around you are all drops of water. And imagine you are all living together in this Ocean. How will you find you, or your enemy or your best friend or the spider or whatever? You can't, because you all are one. That is when you will know you have found God because the God is you. How did you become God? When the drop of water is outside the ocean, it is a drop of water. When it joins in the ocean, it becomes The Ocean. So this ocean is e

I have always wondered, what's the criteria for the best teacher. Should she be smart? or talented or beautiful? I was not sure, until I met a teacher on the first day of my son's education.  The day was sunny and all the parents of kindergarten students had to accompany their kids to school. It was the time, when play-school had not yet started. So it was a heartbreaking experience for most of the kids to let go of their parent. There were a few who were crying out loud, but most of them were on the verge of tears.  A smart, agile teacher came into the class with a big smile. Upon her arrival, the kids knew immediately, that something was going to happen and most of them started crying. Since all the parents expected their kids to cry, they didn't mind the chaos, but to everyone's shock, the class went silent. What magic did the teacher do to console the heartbroken students? No idea. One thing, I know, she didn't say to stop crying or use cajoling or consoling. Th

From personal experience, one thing I know is, after every anger burst, I have regretted it. So let's check, what triggers anger?  Unhealed hurt, triggers anger. What does that mean? Let me tell you a story Anil John is a government official. He makes sure, no work stays pending on his table. One day, he saw an old lady coming up with difficulty. He immediately helped her and asked, "How can I help you?" The old lady gave her papers and he found that it was in another department. He took her to the concerned department. Unfortunately, his colleague had closed shop 10 minutes before lunch. Anil humbly asked his colleague to help the old lady. But his colleague just laughed off and made a joke of it. The old lady, turned to Anil and spoke, "Son. don't worry, I will wait downstairs, until this officer returns." Anil couldn't control his anger, he caught hold of his colleague's collar and squeezed him. Colleague, immediately extricated himself and reques

  Once a girl was walking through a dark empty street in the middle of the night. She felt very creepy. She prayed with all her feeling of fear, "God, please don't bring any bad people now. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you." After a moment, a whole bunch of cut throats, hooligans, everyone stood in front of her. Why did God do that? Is He so insensitive, that He can't hear a prayer in need? That's what we all think. But let me put to you simply. He actually heard her prayer and He answered it immediately in abundance. You might be thinking, I am joking. But no, I am completely serious. Let's check which prayer God heard. It's the sub conscious mind that answers your prayers. This sub conscious mind is like a baby. How do we speak to a baby? In one word or two, not more than that. So if you say, "Baby, don't  eat the food." Will it obey? No, it will immediately eat the food, because it knows the one word from your sentence, "Eat" and

We are all searching for love, happiness, peace, prosperity, abundance, beauty and the list goes on. And what happens, when you don't get it? You become unhappy. What happens, when you achieve it? You are still unhappy.  Because that was not what you expected and you want more. So you set a new and higher goal. That is the life you are living now. Now let's check the real fact. You are enveloped every moment of your life in love, happiness, peace, prosperity, abundance, beauty, etc. You might be thinking, I am joking. Unfortunately, I am not. How can that be? Let's check one thing you receive everyday. The air you breathe.  The Universe has given you abundant air to breathe. You don't need to buy it from any store. The lungs, does a great job in bringing the air from the atmosphere through the nose, through the windpipe inside your body and it is transferred to the blood. This air when it reaches every cell of your body, you are alive. Because you have life you see the
