A Dad's letter to his children

My Dear Son and my Dear daughter,

            I am attempting to give you some sort of prescription for you to ponder, contemplate and then if you feel it is worth following, try to follow it to have healthy balanced life while on Earth and to be more useful to one’s own self first and then to others.

As, I understand from my experiences in life, a balanced life is a life that has healthy BODY, healthy MIND and healthy SOUL. This can happen if equal attention is paid by the human being on all these things. Only then, one can apply his body, mind and soul on everything that a man undertakes and that is what is giving 100%. That gives a sense of fulfillment. The day should begin with by waking up in a clean and light heart and should continue as a series of experiences of fulfillment and sleep with a clean and clear, guilt-less consciousness. This is the pursuit of human perfection. We should constantly apply this on to our own self till this happens and then continue to refine ourselves after that. And Excellence is something that we have to aspire for in everything that we do. What is excellence? Excellence is attempting to do a particular thing as perfectly as possible giving 100%. As someone said – if we pursue excellence, success follows.

Pursue your professional excellence not forgetting that you have to be a good human being first before you become anything else.

May the Almighty Lord bless you profusely to become what He wants all of you to become ultimately. My prayers for your overall-wellbeing – the material (Preyas)  and spiritual (Shreyas).

With lots of Love and affection,
Dad

There IS a Brighter World!

I received the kernel of this message in a few seconds around 4am on the morning of January 1, 2007. I wept tears of joy. This is an attempt to capture that knowing.Source: http://brighter-world.org/

There IS a brighter world!
We've grown accustomed to thinking of the universe as a dark place with small pinpoints of light called "suns" that fill tiny parts of the darkness. There is a brighter world. A place of light where our universe appears as a tiny speck of darkness. A speck of darkness that cries out, for what reason the Beings of Light cannot imagine, but they want to love the blinders from us so that we can see the brighter world.
There IS a brighter world!
The darkness we see all around is but a shroud over the brighter world. It covers the light, but it does not itself have any substance. Evil isn't real. Evil is but a veil over the brightness, a covering of the real, a mask over the world of light, a temporary forgetting of our true nature. Yes, evil can kill you, but death simply awakens you to bask in the brighter world until enough naps in this dark universe finally enable you to waken permanently to the real.
There IS a brighter world!
Birth into this dark universe is a temporary forgetting of that reality. Some do it for play. Some do it in an attempt to rescue those who have completely forgotten the light. Most are stuck here, with a latent memory of the light, a desire to believe in it, but blinded by the darkness into thinking that it is real. It is not. Evil isn't real. Darkness isn't real.
There IS a brighter world!
Imagine it. Seek it out. Aim your dreams at it. Desire it. Want it. Become it.
There is a brighter world. You are living in it right now. Focus on the light and the darkness will fall away. The brighter world is your birthright. The brighter world is the only reality. The brighter world is your home. Find it. Live it.
There IS a brighter world!
