From the gospel of sri ramakrishna

The Master Said:

"They are indeed bound souls who constantly dwell with 'woman and
gold'
and do not think of God even for a moment. How can you expect noble
deeds
of them? They are like mangoes pecked by a crow, which may not be
offered
to the Deity in the temple, and which even men hesitate to eat.
Bound souls, worldly people are like silk-worms. The worms can cut
through
their cocoons if they want, but having woven the cocoons themselves,
they are too much attached to leave them. And so they die there."

Spiritual(TOTAL SURRENDER)

TOTAL SURRENDER

I asked God to take away my pain.
God said, No. It is not for me to take away, but for you to
give it up.

I asked God to make my handicapped child whole.
God said, No. Her spirit is whole and her body is only
temporary.

I asked God to grant me patience. God said, No. Patience is a
byproduct of tribulations; it isn't granted, it is earned.

I asked God to give me happiness.
God said, No. I give you blessings. Happiness is up to you.

I asked God to spare me pain.
God said, No. Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares and brings
you closer to me.

I asked God to make my spirit grow.
God said, No. You must grow on your own, but I will prune you to make
you fruitful.

I asked for all things that I might enjoy life.
God said, No. I will give you life so that you may enjoy all things.

I asked God to help me LOVE others, as much as he loves me.

God said... Ahhhh, finally you have the idea.

Message 1626 in uttisthata yahoogroup by bhakta dhruva

Hari Om,

The following is from Elsa Einstein, Albert Einstein's wife, regarding Einstein's development of the theory of general relativity. It's taken from the outstanding book Einstein and Religion by Max Jammer. It's originally taken from Charles Chaplin's autobiography.

The Doctor came down in his dressing gown as usual for breakfast but he hardly touched a thing. I thought something was wrong, so I asked what was troubling him. "Darling," he said, "I have a wonderful idea." And after drinking his coffee, he went to the piano and started playing. Now and again he would stop, making a few notes then repeat: "I've got a wonderful idea, a marvelous idea!" I said: "Then for goodness' sake tell me what it is, don't keep me in suspense." He said: "It's difficult, I still have to work it out."

She told me he continued playing the piano and making notes for about half an hour, then went upstairs to his study, telling her that he did not wish to be disturbed, and remained there for two weeks. "Each day I sent him up his meals," she said, "and in the evening he would walk a little for exercise, then return to his work again. Eventually," she said, "he came down from his study looking very pale. "That's it," he told me, wearily putting two sheets of paper on the table. And that was his theory of relativity."

Thought Of Swami Vivekananda:

"Take up one idea, make that one idea your life. Think of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles,nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success and this is the way great spiritual giants are produced."
