Many scriptures say “God created man in His True Image”. From a practical standpoint, the implication is that if God created the man in His true image than he must have endowed the man with His Divine Qualities as well. “TOLERANCE” is one such sweet Divine quality. As a child we all are born with innocent consciousness, however, due to poor influences and choices, the innocence and the sense of unity of childhood dissipate. As we grow into adulthood and our divine nature ge

Understanding is not merely taught information. True understanding develops when the learner actively processes, applies, and connects that information through personal experience. One of the most difficult things in life is to know yourself. “There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that’s your own self.” The self contributes largely in dealing with self-understanding, understanding-others and understanding the Creator. Understanding th

The child requested the father to drive a little longer. The father smiled, negotiated a U turn and said “I am proud of you son- making yourself available for listening- it is the first hard step to change. The car’s roof was opened. Under the vast sky and the twinkling stars, the son leaned back in silence. After a pause the father glanced at his watch and said “I am reminded of a lesson your grandfather once shared with me.” “He took me to a watchmaker’s shop. Removin

What follows a poor report card at home is often predictable. In such moments, mothers are usually the first choice when a signature is needed. Since the mother was travelling a child with hesitation approached his father. Examining the report card, the father asks his son to bring a rough book and write 5 names of close class friends. Speak to them and make notes what their parents said– not to compare, but to understand how differently people respond to the same situatio

Teachers who go beyond the syllabus to impart life lessons influenced by the subjects they teach, deserve to be remembered and admired not just as Teachers of syllabus, but as Teachers for life. A mathematics teacher noticed her new batch of students were restless and irritated unable to solve the given sums. The following day, she asked students to keep their books aside. Instead, she handed each of them a printed sheet. She explained that what they were about to attempt

One of the natural loves that humans possess is a love of place. A “place” in one's life is not merely a location-it is a space filled with meaning, shaping identity, actions and emotions. Places become both physical and spiritual shelters where we rest, heal and grow. The gift of human life, comes as a blessing with a purpose upon this Earth. In the spiritual understanding, a human is an eternal soul having a temporary experience-a bridge between the physical and the divin

A teacher completed sharing the anatomy of a human eye to the classroom. He then asked some students to highlight few extraordinary features they remember. Some of the interesting features the students mentioned: The eye can distinguish approximately 10 million different colors. Second only to the brain in its intricacy, containing over 2 million working parts, operates with remarkable precision, reacting faster than any muscle in the body. If the human eye were a digital c

The locals had long been accustomed to seeing this man, now in fifties – a vagabond Masthana , blissful, light-hearted, and deeply absorbed in spirituality since his teens. One day, in his wandering, he unknowingly crossed into another kingdom. Suspected of being a spy, he was brought to the king. Questioned about trespassing, he replied, “the Lord has set no boundaries for the sun, the moon, the sky, or the waters – who are you to draw them?”. His vague yet piercing respon

When a child is learning to walk, he keeps falling many times. The child does not sit in a corner and conclude, maybe walking is not meant for me.” Nor do the parents decide that the effort should stop. They encourage, lift and wait. The child tries again. Somewhere along the journey of life, that innocence changes. The human being does not merely fail; he begins to question whether he should rise again. He begins to doubt himself, his direction, his relationship, his worth
