He is waiting with open arms to receive you and grant you peace :

-





1.

Attachment generates pain, Loss brings sorrow; enmity disturbs the peace, scorpions, snakes trouble you.

Why do you cling to this miserable life?

Attain the wealth of Vairagya; rest peacefully in your inner Self, associate with Sages and Sadhus.

Vairagya kills all pains, Vairagya destroys all attachments, Vairagya leads to eternal bliss, Therefore cultivate Vairagya.

Smasan Vairagya cannot help you, It is momentary like lightning.

2.

Develop lasting Vairagya that is born of discrimination.

Vairagya is indifference, it is a mental state; it turns the mind towards God, it gives strength and peace.

Nudity is not a sign of Vairagya, there may be a big bazaar in his mind; Janaka was dispassionate, though he ruled a kingdom.

A king is afraid of his opponent, a woman is afraid of old age; a poet is afraid of his rival, a Vairagi is absolutely fearless.

3.

This world is illusory like mirage.

There is not a bit of pleasure in this world.

Wealth brings miseries only, pain is mistaken for pleasure.

 Life is like a bubble.

This body is a great burden; it is the abode of diseases, it decays and perishes.

The beauty in the face fades, physical beauty is illusory; there is charm for a short time, lust burns the man like fire.

There is no good in this earthly life, it is beset with pains and sorrows; old age withers the body, time cuts the thread of life.

4.

Be kind to all beings, Be selfless, “mine-less” and anger-less, Be rich in your inner life, Be active in the daily life. Be truthful in your speech, Be benevolent to the people, Be virtuous, gentle and noble, Be thoughtful, frank and charitable.

Be patient while practising Yoga, Be balanced in pleasure and pain, Be peaceful by resting in Atma, Be joyful by abiding in the Soul.


God is your light.

He is your guide.

Remember Him at all times, whether it be in pleasure or in pain.

He will cheer you up.

He will come and save you from all trials and difficulties as He saved His devotees.

He will give you light, love and wisdom.

He is waiting with open arms to receive you and grant you peace.

Dr. S. RADHAKRISHNAN’S EDUCATIONAL IDEAS :

Image
1. INTRODUCTION :             Education is a special discipline and theory and practice of education deserves to receive a special attention. According to Sathya Sai Baba, “An education system in country is a bank on which the people can draw a cheque for the upliftment of the society”. The organization of such a bank needs to be solemnised and progressive. It is only the contribution of great thinkers in the field of education can guide the planners to have this organization on sound footings. We in India have an ideal educational system in ancient time. It worked well for the society of that time. In such a system there were some basic principles and postulates some ideals, rules and regulations which we have implemented in the right earnest in ideal educational situations.             Great thinkers of contemporary India have given their verdict on the basic principles as well as needed reflections. One of the most important persons was a Dr. S. Radhakrishnan. The cruci
