Life
i was regular reader of a magazine called " psychology for you" published from Amristsar. i found these magazines at my uncles home who is very fond of reading & collecting good books. There was an annual issue which was having lot many topics on how to live life like " Managing Stress" , Importance of education. How to reduce hypertension like that as i complete the book on the last page there was a line " IT TAKES WHOLE LIFE TO KNOW HOW TO LIVE LIFE" so whenever i make a mistake i dont feel bad and understand that its a learning process.only commit not to repeat.

I like it
NEVER CRY FOR ANY RELATION IN LIFE
BECAUSE FOR THE ONE WHOM YOU CRY
DOES NOT DESERVE YOUR TEARS
AND THE ONE WHO DESERVES
WILL NEVER LET YOU CRY......... ........
TREAT EVERYONE WITH POLITENESS
EVEN THOSE WHO ARE RUDE TO YOU,
NOT BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT NICE
BUT BECAUSE YOU ARE NICE........ ......... ......
NEVER SEARCH YOUR HAPPINESS
IN OTHERS
WHICH WILL MAKE YOU
FEEL ALONE,
RATHER SEARCH IT IN YOURSELF
YOU WILL FEEL HAPPY
EVEN IF YOU ARE LEFT ALONE....... ......... ......
ALWAYS HAVE
A POSITIVE ATTITUDE IN LIFE.
THERE IS SOMETHING POSITIVE
IN EVERY PERSON.
EVEN A STOPPED WATCH IS RIGHT
TWICE A DAY......... ......... ......... ........
HAPPINESS ALWAYS LOOKS SMALL
WHEN WE HOLD IT IN OUR HANDS.
BUT WHEN WE LEARN TO
SHARE IT,
WE REALIZE HOW BIG AND PRECIOUS IT IS!......... .......

Institution of Marrige
Swami Dyanand Saraswati the great phiolosopher, scholar of Vedas & founder of Arya Samaj .In his book "Satyarth Parkash" has written on Marrige based on Vedas
"It is better that men and women should remain single till death rather than marry unsuitables; i.e., persons of mutually unsuitable qualities, characteristics and temperaments should never marry each other." MANU 9: 89
The Swaymvara marriage, i.e., marriage by choice - the most ancient form of marriage in India - is the vest form of marriage. Before a man and a maid think of marrying, they should see that they suit each other in point of knowledge and disposition, character, beauty, age, strength, family,* stature, and built of body and the like. Until they suit each other in all these things, no happiness can result from marriage. Nor can marriage in early life ever lead to any beneficial result.
"In whatsoever family the husband is contented with his wife, and the wife with her husband, it is there and there only that happiness, wealth and honor dwell permanently." MANU 3: 60. And wheresoever the husband and the wife disagree and squable, there is nothing but misery, poverty, and disgrace
More about selecting a partner
Any two persons who have, in their childhood, lived near each other, played and quarreled together, loved one another, noticed each other's faults, imperfections, ebullitions of temper and misbehaviors, and perhaps sometimes, even each other undressed, if married to each other, can never love each other to the extent desired.
The marriage of near relatives does not improve the race from want of interchange of fluids and essences (such as blood) of the body, it rather deteriorates it,. This is analogous to the addition of water to water, no new quality being produced.
As the addition of sugar and such medicines as ginger, improves the taste and quality of milk, so does the marriage of people, who are not related to each other (either on father's or on mother's side), improve the race.
As in the case of an invalid, change of climate and diet very often effects a cure, so does marriage with foreigners or distant people improve the health of the parties and prove beneficial in every other respect.
When the parties are nearly related to each other and live amongst their people, the sorrows and joys of one family will affect the other and there will be many occasions for family disputes to arise; while marriages among distant people and consequent separation from relatives lengthen the thread of mutual love. This is not the case when they live near their people.
When marriages are contracted with people of foreign or distant countries, things and news from those countries can be easily obtained (and consequently relations between different countries become closely established). This not possible when people marry near relatives or persons living near their homes, or, in their own country.
In Sanskrit a daughter is called duhitri (from Du - distant, Hit - good), because the marriage of a girl to a man who comes from a distant country or distant part of the same country is productive of good.
If the bride's people do not live very far from her husband's home, there is a possibility of her parents becoming poor, as whenever she visits her parents, they will have to give her something or other by the way of a present.
If their people live near at hand, on any slight friction taking place between the husband and the wife, she, feeling assured that her people will support her, will at once leave her husband and go to her parents. That may become the cause of mutual reviling and wrangling, for, women, as a rule, are so easily offended and pleased.

My favourite
FIERY QUOTES OF SWAMI VIVEKANANDA. ......... .......
*Never quarrel about RELIGION.All quarrels & disputations concerning religion simply show that SPIRITUALITY is NOT present. Religious quarrels are always over the husks.When purity, spirituality goes, leaving the Soul dry,quarrels begin & not before.
*Astrology and all these mystical things are generally signs of a weak mind; therefore as soon as they are becoming prominent in our minds, we should see a physician, take good food, and rest.
*Great things can be done only through great sacrifices. No selfishness, no name, no fame, yours or mine, nor my Master's even! Work, work the idea, the plan, my boys, my brave, noble, good souls--to the wheel, to the wheel put your shoulders! Stop not to look back for name, or fame, or any such nonsense. Throw self overboard and work. Remember: "The grass when made into a rope by being joined together can even chain a mad elephant." The Lord's blessings on you all! His power be in you all--as I believe it is already.
[ Swamiji's Letter to Alasinga. Chicago: May 28, 1894. CW, 5: 34-35]
*They alone live who live for others, rest are more DEAD than ALIVE.
*Arise! Awake!! And stop not till the goal is reached.
*The world is the great gymnasium where we come to make ourself strong.
*What good is it, if we acknowledge in our prayers that God is the Father of us all, and in our daily lives, do not treat every man as our brother?
*Don't spend your energy in talking but meditate in silence and become a dynamo or spirituality.
*Truth, purity, and unselfishness - whenever these are present, there is no power below or above the sun to crush the possessor thereof. Equipped with these, one individual is able to face the whole universe in opposition.
*Faith, sympathy, fiery faith, fiery sympathy! Faith, faith, faith in ourselves... faith, faith in God - this is the secret of greatness.
*In the world take always the position of the giver.Give everything and look for no return. Give love,give help, give service, give any little thing you can.
*You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.
*Stand up, be bold, be strong. Take the whole responsibility on your own shoulders, and know that you are the creator of your own destiny. All the strength and succor you want is within yourselves. Therefore make
your own future.
*Never talk about the faults of others, no matter how bad they may be. Nothing is ever gained by that. You never help one by telling about his faults, but you do him an injury, and injure yourself as well.
*Give up jealousy and conceit. Learn to work unitedly for others. This is the great need of our country.
*Should the worst come to the worst, never swerve from the path of truth.
*“Comfort” is no test of truth; on the contrary, truth is often far from being “comfortable.”
*“The earth is enjoyed by heroes”—this is the unfailing truth. Be a hero. Always say, “I have no fear.”
*A few heart-whole, sincere, and energetic men and women can do more in a year than a mob in a century.
*After every happiness comes misery; they may be far apart or near. The more advanced the soul, the more quickly does one follow the other. What we want is neither happiness nor misery. Both make us forget our true nature; both are chains--one iron, one gold; behind both is the Atman, who knows neither happiness nor misery.
*All power is within you. You can do anything and everything. Believe in that. Do not believe that you are weak; do not believe that you are half-crazy lunatics, as most of us do nowadays. Stand up and express the divinity within you.
*Are you unselfish? That is the question. If you are, you will be perfect without reading a single religious book, without going into a single church or temple.
*The road to good is the roughest & steepest in the universe. It is a wonder that so many succeed, no wonder that so many fall. Character has to be established through a thousand stumbles.
* Ask nothing; want nothing in return. Give what you have to give; it will come back to you -- but do not think of that now.
Learn that the whole of life is giving, that nature will force you to give. So, give willingly. Sooner or later you will have to give up.
With clenched hands, you want to take. But nature puts a hand on your throat and makes your hands open...The moment you say, "I will not", the blow comes; you are hurt.
Ask, therefore, nothing in return; but the more you give, the more will come to you.
