The Master’s hand

A story… some sites claim that its fiction… I prefer to believe that it actually happened, if not with Paderewski, then some other great pianist :)…
Wishing to encourage her young son’s progress on the piano, a mother took her boy to a Paderewski concert. After they were seated, the mother spotted a friend in the audience and walked down the aisle to greet her. Seizing the opportunity to explore the wonders of the concert hall, the little boy rose and eventually explored his way through a door marked “NO ADMITTANCE.”
When the house lights dimmed and the concert was about to begin, the mother returned to her seat and discovered that the child was missing.
Suddenly, the curtains parted and spotlights focused on the impressive Steinway on stage. In horror, the mother saw her little boy was sitting at the keyboard, innocently picking out “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.” At that moment, the great piano master made his entrance, quickly moved to the piano, and whispered in the boy’s ear, “Don’t quit. Keep playing.”

Then, leaning over, Paderewski reached down with his left hand and began filling in a bass part. Soon his right arm reached around to the other side of the child and he added a running obligato. Together, the old master and the young novice transformed a frightening situation into a wonderfully creative experience. The audience was so mesmerized they couldn’t recall what else the great master played. Only the classic “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.”
That’s the way it is with Guruji… and God what we can accomplish on our own may not be noteworthy. We do our best, but the results may not be exactly graceful flowing music. But with the hand of the Master, our life’s work can be transformed from the merely mundane to the truly beautiful.
Next time you set out to accomplish something big, and things are not working exactly the way you wanted them to, listen carefully. You will hear a voice whispering in your ear, “Don’t quit. Keep playing.”
I emphasize the word “play”!

Stupid Mind

Small little momentary pleasures hold us back. We miss something. Its the pleasure that binds us, not the pain. The pleasure hungry mind just goes on and on with the same old patterns. I am tired of this now. The mind is very sneaky and sticky. It sneaks out and sticks to something, trying hard to squeeze out some juice from something apparently juicy.It hopelessly fails every single time and yet it goes on and on.The funniest part is that the mind keeps on fooling itself all the time and yet we are stuck to it, so bothered and feverish in anticipation of a so called pleasant experience! Vasistha says, "Foolishness invites sorrow. Foolishness is bondage. O holy one! One who is bound thinks he is free in his foolishness! Though all that exists in the three worlds is but the self, to one who is firmly established in foolishness all that is but the expansion of foolishness".Its high time that I just sit back and laugh..silently.
Love,
Jatin.

Save Our Economy

**U CAN MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE TO THE INDIAN ECONOMY BY FOLLOWING FEW SIMPLE STEPS. *

Please spare a couple of minutes here........ for the sake of India ... our country.

I got this article from one of my friend, but it's true, I can see this from day to day life, Small example Before 5 months 1 CAN $ = IND Rs 32 After 5 months. Now it is 1 CAN $ = IND Rs 52 Do you think Canadian Economy is booming?

No, but Indian Economy is Going Down. Our Economy is in u'r hands INDIAN economy is in a crisis. Our country like many other ASIAN countries is undergoing a severe economic crunch. Many INDIAN industries are closing down. The INDIAN economy is in a crisis and if we do not take proper steps to control those, we will be in a critical situation. More than 30000 crore rupees of foreign exchange are being siphoned out of our country on products such as cosmetics, snacks, tea, beverages... etc which are grown, produced and consumed here . A cold drink that costs only 70 / 80 paisa to produce is sold for NINE rupees, and a major chunk of profits from these are sent abroad. This is a serious drain on INDIAN economy. 'COCA COLA 'and' SPRITE ' belong to the same multinational company, 'COCA COLA'? Coke advertisements says ' JO CHAHO HOJAYE, COCACOLA ENJOY' (Whatever the hell, let it happen, you drink coke) What can you do? You can consider some of the better alternatives to aerated drinks. You can drink LEMON JUICE, FRESH FRUIT JUICES, CHILLED LASSI (SWEET OR SOUR), BUTTER MILK, COCONUT WATER, JALJEERA, ENERJEE, MASALA MILK........ .. Everyone deserves a healthy drink, including you! Over and above all this, economic sanctions have been imposed on us. We have nothing against Multinational companies, but to protect our own interests we request everybody to use INDIAN products only for next two years. With the rise in petrol prices, if we do not do this, the rupee will devalue further and we will end up paying much more for the same products in the near future. What you can do about it? 1 .. Buy only products manufactured by WHOLLY INDIAN COMPANIES. 2 .. ENROLL as many people as possible for this cause. Each individual should become a leader for this awareness. This is the only way to save our country from severe economic crisis. You don't need to give-up your lifestyle. You just need to choose an alternate product. All categories of products are available from WHOLLY INDIAN COMPANIES. LIST OF PRODUCTS BATHING SOAP: USE - CINTHOL & OTHER GODREJ BRANDS, SANTOOR, WIPRO SHIKAKAI, MYSORE SANDAL, MARGO, NEEM, EVITA, MEDIMIX, GANGA , NIRMA BATH & CHANDRIKA INSTEAD OF - LUX, LIFEBOY, REXONA, LIRIL, DOVE, PEARS, HAMAM, LESANCY, CAMAY, PALMOLIVE TOOTH PASTE: USE - NEEM, BABOOL, PROMISE, VICO VAJRADANTI, PRUDENT, DABUR PRODUCTS, MISWAK INSTEAD OF - COLGATE, CLOSE UP, PEPSODENT, CIBACA, FORHANS, MENTADENT .

It saves INDIA . Let us take a firm decision today. BUY INDIAN TO BE INDIAN we are not against of foreign products. WE ARE NOT ANTI-MULTINATIONAL. WE ARE TRYING TO SAVE OUR NATION. EVERY DAY IS A STRUGGLE FOR A REAL FREEDOM. WE ACHIEVED OUR INDEPENDENCE AFTER LOSING MANY LIVES. THEY DIED PAINFULLY TO ENSURE THAT WE LIVE PEACEFULLY. THE CURRENT TREND IS VERY THREATENING. MULTINATIONALS CALL IT GLOBALISATION OF INDIAN ECONOMY. FOR INDIANS LIKE YOU AND ME IT IS RECOLONISATION OF INDIA .. THE COLONIST'S LEFT INDIA THEN. BUT THIS TIME THEY WILL MAKE SURE THEY DON'T MAKE ANY MISTAKES. WHO WOULD LIKE TO LET A' GOOSE THAT LAYS GOLDEN EGGS' SLIP AWAY. PLEASE REMEMBER: POLITICAL FREEDOM IS USELESS WITHOUT ECONOMIC INDEPENDENCE . RUSSIA , S.KOREA , MEXICO ..........THE LIST IS VERY LONG!! LET US LEARN FROM THEIR EXPERIENCE AND FROM OUR HISTORY. LET US DO THE DUTY OF EVERY TRUE INDIAN. FINALLY: IT'S OBVIOUS THAT U CAN'T GIVE UP ALL OF THE ITEMS MENTIONED ABOVE, SO GIVE UP ATLEAST ONE ITEM TO FOR THE SAKE OF OUR COUNTRY. We would be sending useless forwards to our friends daily. Instead please forward this mail to all your friends to create awareness.

Always be THANKFUL



In our life we have so many things still we cry for the things we don’t have. I have a very great experience of this in my life. One day I was talking to one of my internet friend to whom I have never meet but we chat so nicely and casually as if we are very old friends. One day I was very upset and so as I good friend she asked me the reason for it. I said I am missing all my great friends who have left me because of some foolishness I have done to them. I have known what was my fault but it’s too late now to get them back. So I was cribbing that I am no more with them.

At that time this friend of mine her name is SHRADDHA told me a story. That time she narrated me this story:There was a school going guy from a poor family. Somehow the family use to remove his school expenses and all. One fine day that little guy noticed that his shoes are torn and are in very bad condition. His school friend use to tease him a lot for this.
So he went to his dad and said “Dad I want a new pair of shoes now.” His dad was financially not in the condition to buy him new shoes. The kid cried a lot, he didn’t have food the whole day. But there was no option in front his parents. They didn’t have money. He just kept crying and went to sleep. The next day he got up and forgot everything and got ready for the school. As he sat in the school bus and was going to the school what can he see…….He saw a person on the street without legs-begging and crawling all over.

That time he realized that he is so grateful that he at least has the feet to wear the shoes. Whatever may be the condition of the shoes? He was very thankful to god for the legs he gave him.

That time I realized that instead of crying for my friends with whom I am no more there I can be thankful to god for the friends who are still with me. This doesn’t mean that I forget them completely I’ll keep doing my best to get them back but at the same time I was really thankful to that friend and to god too for giving such great people to me in my life.

Conclusion:-
Always be grateful for what u have and don’t cry for the things u won’t have. Just strive hard to get them but do not crib around for them.

My First DSN

I just completed my 1sy DSN(Divya Samaj ka Nirman). At the early stage I was not ready to take this course as it was taking complete 3 days and the fee was 3000rs. Now it’s too much. But ne ways coz my teachers told me to do it I applied for it and finally reached the venue on time.
After reaching there I found myself more and more enthusiastic for knowing about the course. Then the mentor enters the room. U know who it was???? It was BAWA….. This was the main reason I had agreed for the course. Staying with bawa for 3 days... ohh man… excellent…..

The course started and yes it’s not as easy as I thought… but that’s not the reason to not do the course in fact coz it’s tough everyone should do the course…. One thing I would like to tell u guys after doing the course there will b no barriers in your life… nothing can stop u from doing the good things in life…

It has helped me to break all my boundaries and go beyond myself to serve the society. Now I can quit my old habits and do anything and everything for the improvement of the society. And at this stage I realized that 3000 bucks is nothing yaar… it is much more worth than 3000… an staying with bawa and dinesh dada was a great experience…

So guys next DSN just don’t stop… whatever may be the reason just keep it aside for 3 days and go for the course… and ha if u also think u have cash problem start saving 10 bucks everyday from now….
