gm Of all the creations, man alone, supposedly the supreme of all creations, speaks the language of death. Man alone utters, believes and follows the language of death, which is I CAN’T. Research shows it is so because every human being, before he attains the age of 14, has been told by his parents, teachers, society and peer group about 1,48,000 times on an average, “YOU CAN’T”. His environment has hammered into him about 1,48,000 times that “HE CAN’T” .

Gm Let us be good even to those who are not good to us. There is no justification for our stooping in character. It is not about whether others deserve our goodness or not; it’s that we don’t deserve anything bad in our heart or in our character.

Gm You were not born to follow. Y ou were born to lead. Remember, you were the leading sperm. Even as a sperm, you were not a follower. Live up to your inheritance. -Mathira

Gm If at all anybody is wrong, let them continue to live outside of you. Don’t give them a presence within you. Let your mind and heart house only those who are a source of your peace. The rest, let them go … In letting go of your hurt, you will let in peace. A peaceful you is a beautiful you. The good news is, you can be beautiful. The very good news is, it is in your very hands. See … even the thought of ‘let go’ is getting you to smile. -Mathira

gm Mother earth never pampers; so the seed had to first penetrate outside-in into the soil to root itself and then penetrate inside-out to shoot its presence. When it was a fragile plant, any animal could have grazed it, any kid could have uprooted it. Then the droughts, floods and pests. It had to withstand it all - the test of time, and the trial of circumstances - to become the majestic tree it now is. It isn’t just a tree but a profound sense of history. -Mathira

The saline waters of the ocean, the contaminated drains, the stinking ponds, the stagnant lakes … … from anywhere, when water evaporates into the above and comes down again as rains, it is pure drinking water. Similarly, when man connects with the force above, self-purification happens. Man’s thoughts, feelings and even the being are purified when he connects with the divine. When prayers go up, blessings come down. -Mathira

gm So, on all matters, rate the world on ‘5’ and rate yourself on ‘10’ . Not that the world is any less capable or that you are superhuman, but because … Without happiness, there is no life. So rate the world on ‘5’ . Without dissatisfaction, there is no growth. So rate yourself on ‘10’ . Thus you will be Happily Dissatisfied. -Mathira

Gm A crow carrying a piece of meat found itself being chased by all the other birds. It dropped the piece of meat, and all the birds went after the meat. Now, alone in the sky, the crow remarked, “In losing that piece of meat, I gained the freedom of the skies.” There is enormous freedom in letting your ego go. -Mathira

Happy birthday dear @Derek Ross Blessings and thank you for all

gm I will wear my uniform and rise to the occasion in my professional world. But I will always remember that there is a time for me to remove my uniform. After all, people at home want a soul, not an evolved soul. With my loved ones, I am what I always was. -Mathira
