RIGHT SPEECH
There is a Chinese saying which carries the meaning that ‘A speech will either prosper or ruin a nation.’ Many relationships break off because of wrong speech. When a couple is too close with each other, we always forget mutual respect and courtesy. We may say anything without considering if it would hurt the other party.
A friend and her millionaire husband visited their construction site. A worker who wore a helmet saw her and shouted, ‘Hi, Emily! Remember me? We used to date in the secondary school.’ On the way home, her millionaire husband teased her, ‘Luckily you married me. Otherwise you will be the wife of a construction worker.’ She answered,’ You should appreciate that you married me. Other wise, he will be the millionaire and not you.’
Frequently exchanging these remarks plants the seed for a bad relationship. It’s like a broken egg - cannot be reversed.
PERSONAL PERCEPTION
Different people have different perception. One man’s meat could be another man’s poison. A couple bought a donkey from the market. On the way home, a boy commented, ‘Very stupid. Why neither of them rides on the donkey? ‘Upon hearing that, the husband let the wife ride on the donkey. He walked besides them. Later, an old man saw it and commented, ‘The husband is the head of family. How can the wife ride on the donkey while the husband is on foot?’ Hearing this, the wife quickly got down and let the husband ride on the donkey.
Further on the way home, they met an old Lady. She commented, ‘How can the man ride on the donkey but let the wife walk. He is no gentleman.’
The husband thus quickly asked the wife to join him on the donkey. Then, they met a young man. He commented, ‘Poor donkey, how can you hold up the weight of two persons. They are cruel to you.’ Hearing that, the husband and wife immediately climbed down from the donkey and carried it on their shoulders.
It seems to be the only choice left. Later, on a narrow bridge, the donkey was frightened and struggled. They lost their balance and fell into the river. You can never have everyone praise you, nor will everyone condemn you. Never in the past, not at present, and never will be in the future.
Thus, do not be too bothered by others words if our conscience is clear..
BE PATIENT
This is a true story which happened in the States. A man came out of his home to admire his new truck. To his puzzlement, his three-year-old son was happily hammering dents into the shiny paint of the truck. The man ran to his son, knocked him away, hammered the little boy’s hands into pulp as punishment. When the father calmed down, he rushed his son to the hospital.
Although the doctor tried desperately to save the crushed bones, he finally had to amputate the fingers from both the boy’s hands. When the boy woke up from the surgery & saw his bandaged stubs, he innocently said, ‘Daddy, I’m sorry about your truck.’ Then he asked, ‘but when are my fingers going to grow back?’ The father went home & committed suicide.
Think about this story the next time someone steps on your feet or u wish to take revenge. Think first before u lose your patience with someone u love. Trucks can be repaired.. Broken bones & hurt feelings often can’t. Too often we fail to recognize the difference between the person and the performance. We forget that forgiveness is greater than revenge.
By the way, you know what had actually happened to the truck? The young boy had written ‘DADDY!!! I LOVE YOU’ with a hard stick on the paint of the truck.
People make mistakes. We are allowed to make mistakes. But the actions we take while in a rage will haunt us forever.

The word ‘God’ does not denominate a ’super human being’. The word ‘God’ is the most highly misunderstood word. With the Hindu philosophy becoming the part and parcel of every Indian, who lives in this country, who is born in this country, we have grown up with Gods and their idols. And we have these stories coming from Puranas,
Now, if this is the definition of God, then I would say, that person is still in the kindergarten class of spirituality. The kindergarten schools are meant for small children to play. They are not taught, they are not educated, they just play. They eat their lunch, they sing a song, they dance with the teacher, become familiar with few names of birds, fruits, and a little bit of colors. This is all that they learn in the play school. The real education begins when they are enrolled in a primary school and then in a secondary school and so on;
I always say this, ‘every one has to evolve’. Everything evolves. One day, a seed evolves into a flower, similarly, the mind too has to evolve; it really needs to go into deep, to know, to understand, to experience who God is? Who that thing is or who that person is? This is very much true that we can have this opportunity; we can have this bridge with God where we get our guidance, where we get our clarity of mind, where we get our ability to make right decisions and put those decisions into actions also. But the source whom we are saying is God has to be understood very well. Now, this cannot be understood theoretically, because when theories are used to make point, there will always be other theories to counter those points, to oppose those points. 
We can only marvel at the intelligence that guides the development of a complex human being from a cluster of apparently identical cells. Where are the laws that govern this dance of life? They are written in the millions of years of evolution. We can describe what happens; we can replicate the conditions as in in-vitro fertilization or cloning, but we cannot fully understand how each cell knows which genes to awaken and which ones to leave dormant. We cannot explain how the flawless mirror images of eyes, ears, arms, and legs are formed in perfect symmetry. We cannot explain how different parts of the nervous system ‘know’ how to communicate across vast cellular distances to transmit critical information. The orchestration of life occurs in a deeper domain of existence which is mysterious. As early as the fifth week after conception the basic components of the nervous system - a primitive brain, a spinal cord, and the sensory material for hearing, touching, seeing, tasting and smelling - are established. The anatomy required to perceive and interpret the world forms rapidly once a new life comes into being.
A BBC documentary shows that the baby smiles when the mother listens to soft music. In one documentary a baby was reacting with anger when its mother was listening to hard rock. It has been proved that whatever the mother thinks and feels is passed onto the baby. A child prodigy is the best example of the fact that the growth of a baby’s mind begins right in the womb itself. A ten-year old child surprised music connoisseurs by playing difficult compositions from Mozart on the piano. His mother said that when pregnant she listened to classical music; she was an accomplished musician herself. Extensive scientific studies show that the period in the womb and the first three years after birth are the most important for learning. So it can be conclusively said that ‘geniuses aren’t born - geniuses are nurtured!’
We have to stop these inhuman atrocities being forced upon girls. In the Indian joint-family system, it is the elders or the husband who decide whether or not to have a girl child. Sometimes the daughter-in-law is threatened into having an abortion - she does not have a choice. The wife who is financially dependent on her husband has to oblige - what else can she do? This is why I say that women should be educated and must have economic independence. They should not be pressurized into doing something they do not want to. A woman is not weak - she has been conditioned to believe that she is weak. 
It is wrong to consider the lower metabolic rate and the deficiency of thyroid activity, the ultimate cause; these are just the symptoms resulting from a cause. Sedentary life style coupled with binge eating is the recipe for fat accumulation and overweight. The fat belly is not only unattractive, it can be downright dangerous for your

Mullah was making an effort to relax. He had started acting. He was breathing rhythmically. He closed his eyes. But it was just an effort. And you cannot relax with an effort.
