Compassion

When Buddha spoke of compassion we have always wondered how it works and in our life should we be compassionate to everyone?
If someone acts miserably with us, is it necessary for us to give back that person in the same coin or should our behavior be different?
Let me tell you here, if someone is mean and acting difficult with us, we should be very kind to that person and help him out with his difficulties. Now you may ask why should I do that? That is because you are not him but a completely different beautiful individual. If someone stoops low, we need not stoop at that level and become as mean as others.
If someone wants to be a gutter water, why should we become like him? And if we do then what would be the difference between us and him?
They can be pigs but let us be human and nice creatures.
We should learn to work with harmony and peace and create a healthy environment for ourselves. Our parents and Guru's have never taught us to be mean or ugly creatures, so why then become one?
Goodness may not pay back but at least you will feel nice about your own self that you were good and tried hard to make him comfortable.
Never pay back a person in their own coin. Let us leave that job for destiny or God to do it for us.
Remember what goes around comes around so stop being mean and nasty just because the other person wants to be that way.
Be your good self and pray that he change his stance or method.
Be compassionate to one and all and learn to love even your enemies.
Be sympathetic to all of them since they deserve our sympathy more than our hatred.
Keep the faith and love will be with you.
I love Buddha's methods of showing compassion to one and all. Be a Buddha!

I Don't Like What You Do!

I was very surprised to see this comment in my inbox yesterday and it was written by one of my dearest friends. He said that he did not like what I do! In spiritual! So why did I join the spiritual bandwagon and what is it that makes me write such stuff on this topic? He truly seemed flabbergasted and wanted to know the whys and the wherefores of it! Spiritual does not happen to a person the way you may get married or pass your school or college. It is mentioned in the holy texts that urge and desire to know God or Self comes about very rarely. Every individual knows about God from his own parents or relatives or friends. His knowledge is as trivial as theirs. None of these are qualified to talk about God. Since no one has seen or experienced Him, how can anyone talk about Him? The knowledge that they profess to have is as trivial as their forefathers since neither of them have experienced Him ever. The knowledge of Self or the longing for liberation happens to someone by the

Success & Failure

Yesterday one of my disciples came and asked me to say some words for her future. She was celebrating her 20th birthday. Though I speak on spiritual I told her that I will talk about her career and other such opportunities. I asked her what she would like to do after she completes her studies and the answer was-I don't know! I told her that it is useless playing football without the goal posts and opponents, so she better have a goal in life. The next was whom would she like to emulate in material worldly success and the immediate answer was Mark Zukerberg, Bill Gates, Mittal and the like! They are highly successful people in this world. Then I asked her whom she would not like to emulate or whom does she consider the most unsuccessful person in life? That was difficult to say. I prodded her! Unable to pin point anyone, I told her the people I would not like to emulate or copy are my parents! That shocked her completely and immediately the heckles stood up. But frankly look a
