Think Before You Speak

The disaster-destined
let themselves be
ruled by ego-driven
thoughts, violence,
arrogance, lust and
extreme anger.
Bhagavad Gita 16.18

Those who are clever
in arguments about
Brahmn, but are
without the action
pertaining to Brahmn
(infinite consciousness)
and who are greatly
attached to the world -
those certainly are born
again and again (in this
world) through their
ajnana (ignorance). Tejobindu Upanishad

Calvin : Sometimes
when I'm talking, my
words can't keep up with
my thoughts. I wonder
why we think faster
than we speak.
Hobbes: Probably so we
can think twice.
Bill Watterson,
Calvin & Hobbes

The trouble with
talking too fast
is you may say some-
thing you haven't
thought of yet.

Do You Know Who You Are ?

The Universe is a multilayered existence; there are many levels: there are the molecular, the atomic and the subatomic levels. So also the human consciousness: though one, yet, it is many.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

He who knows others is learned;

He who knows himself is wise.

Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching

Unlike a drop of water that loses its identity when it joins the ocean, man does not lose his being in the society in which he lives. Man's life is independent. He is born not for the development of society alone, but for the development of the Self.

B R Ambedkar

Your identity changes with how you perceive reality.

Vithu Jeyaloganathan

All men should strive

to learn before they die

what they are running from, and to, and why.

One day At A Time

Each today, well-lived, makes yesterday a dream of happiness and each tomorrow
a vision of hope. Look, therefore, to this one day, for it and it alone is life.
Kalidasa, Ushavandanam
*
Do not dwell in the past; do not dream of the future, concentrate the
mind on the present moment.
Gautama Buddha

*
So do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.
Each day has enough troubles of its own.
Matthew 6:34

*
You are either in the past or in the future - both are non-existent. You can`t do anything with the past, nor with the future. All that you can do is with the present, and if you are engaged somewhere else, it simply slips by and you have missed the train.
Osho

*
With the past, i have nothing to do; nor with the future. I live now. Lovely Thoughts for Lovely People Just Like You

Keep Your Cool

One who has control over the mind is tranquil in heat and cold, in pleasure and pain, and in honour and dishonour; and is ever steadfast with the Supreme Self.
Bhagavad Gita, 6:7
*
The strong is not the one who overcomes people by his strength, but the strong is the one who controls himself while in anger.
Hadith , Sahih Al-Bukhari
*
Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret - it leads only to evil.
Psalm 37:8
*
Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.
Gautama Buddha
*
Before you give someone a piece of your mind, make sure you can get by with what is left.
