. 😃 When Swami Vivekanand was studying law at the University College, London, a white professor, whose last name was Peters, disliked him intensely. One day, Mr. Peters was having lunch at the dining room when vivekananda came along with his tray and sat next to the professor. The professor said, "Mr Vivekanand , you do not understand. A pig and a bird do not sit together to eat." Vivekanandji looked at him as a parent would a rude child and calmly replied, "You do not worry professor. I'll fly away," and he went and sat at another table. Mr. Peters,  reddened with rage, decided to take revenge. The next day in Class he posed the following question: "Mr.Vivekanand , if you were walking down the street and found a package, and within was a bag of wisdom and another bag with money, which one would you take ?" Without hesitating, Vivekanandji responded, "The one with the money, of course." Mr. Peters , smiling sarcastically ...

"The Buddha very clearly said that you feel reality arising and passing away. You may be experiencing a very solidified pain or pressure. It has arisen and it seems to stay for some time, but sooner or later, it passes away. It is not eternal; it is not going to stay forever. As it arises, so it passes away. "This means that when one feels a period where the gross sensation seems to stay, actually there is no such period. A vibration is there—arising and passing, arising and passing. Within that, there are very important stages of the technique. The first stage is uppadavaya—arising separately, passing separately. The second stage is bhanga, or dissolving. As it arises, so it passes away. It doesn't stay. It's arising and passing, arising and passing. "This makes you understand the entire mind-matter phenomenon and how it works. Everywhere there is arising and passing, arising and passing, arising and passing. You come to the eye sense door, or ear sense door, or...

The Guru smiled and asked his followers to bring 3 pots having full water & it should have 3 different type of water. 1) Clyster Clean water 2) Dirty Water  3) Too Muddy water from the Drainage.

Think Big & Dream Big...! Just an idea to share, When Bill Gates was in a school when he first saw a computer.  He was excited & want to do something, learn something, play with it.  Those days a computer was a big financial thing. 1) A typical middle class  attitude : would have thought that its a very precious thing & you should not touch until you grown-up.  Here parents keep on saying study, work hard etc., The ultimate goal would be here to get a "safe & secure job" . I.e., A best labor, Best technicians, Best software or hardware job...! Here ends the matter. 2) Bill Gates Parents  attitude  : Might be they would have encouraged him to explore the new costly machine fearlessly.  Here they would have encouraged him to dream big & think big approach.  The rest is history.  No end forever...! Creation believes in a continuous evolution
