Life is full of interruptions. We need to keep moving. We park ourselves somewhere and then we move again, writes Sri Sri Ravi Shankar.
Negotiation is a part of our daily routine. We do it knowingly or unknowingly. And most of the time, we emerge no better. We “give up” easily or become headstrong. And we end up as losers either way, writes PP Wangchuk.
Remaining contented and keeping a smile is the biggest service to God. When a person surrenders with faith, the Lord takes care of him in every way, writes Ravindra Kumar.

Life is a constant battle and can be compared to the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. These two battles represent the actual battle that we fight within us all the time.
Sometimes life kicks us in the gut and we are left reeling under the impact of such a sudden and vicious attack. We wonder what compelled it, what brought it on, how did we miss sensing it.

The jumble of life is woven with compulsions and contradictions. Life is neither completely abstract nor fully absolute. It's rather a unique composition imbued with soft, medium and shrill tones.
What you see in others - good, bad or ugly - is simply a mirror reflection of yourself. For you to be able to recognise a weakness, or see strength in others means that you have to have at least a trace of it in yourself. Ishmit Oberoi writes.
Usually fear dictates our actions and determines what we can achieve. We cannot make any right attempts for fear of failure. We cannot put forth our creative ideas for fear of being ridiculed. MN Kundu writes.
Happiness can be best called a myth since we can’t agree on its definition. But one thing is for sure, Happiness is not the absence of sadness. PP Wangchuk writes.
A man consulted a well-known psychiatrist as his marriage and career were in trouble. His problem was his constant irritability and bad temper. Though he was concerned about it, if any one tried to discuss it with him, he exploded in anger. Ishmit Oberoi writes.
The original condition of mind and heart is perfect. The unconditioned mind listens to the heart and delights in the miracles of daily life, savours each taste, enjoys each breath, looks quite spontaneously with eyes of love and rolls down tears on the cheeks in the moments of pain and compassion.
