Poetry for the Inner Ear

Mother's Selfless Love No doubt, mother's love for her children is the noblest kind of love and unsurpassed in highest beauty.It is quite apt to call such mother the best philosopher and teacher of mankind. Louise Glück says in the following highly inspiring lines: There is always something to be made of pain. Your mother knits. She turns out scarves in every shade of red. They were for Christmas, and they kept you warm A motherly woman is always full with affection and human kindness.

Never Stop Thanking God It is a universal truth that all of us should be grateful to the Almighty Lord for all His blessings and mercy to us. This view is founded upon the conviction that His infinite love flows through the whole world. Our each breath is sustained and nourished with His great kindness. It will be a grave error of perspective if  we argue that God wants something in return from us .It is our pious duty to thank  Him ceaselessly for His great mercies to us.  The immortal quote by  William Arthur War  inspires us to offer thanks to our Benevolent God: " God gave you a gift of 86,400 seconds today. Have you used one to say "thank you"?"

3 Golden Rules for living a Healthy Life 1. Deep breathing is indispensable for good health. The best way to maintain good health is to breathe in positive emotions like love, peace, gratitude, serenity, hope, and exhale hate. We along with our family members will certainly flourish under such positive feelings. 2. Just find a quiet place and concentrate on the nose-tip or middle of the two eyebrows. The mind is always restless and wandering in so many aimless directions. It has been advised by several yoga scriptures to provide our mind a seat to rest upon. Meditating on an object like sun, moon, stars, heaven,birds, water gives us peace of mind. 3. Ceaseless chanting prayer always gives peace of mind, and we are able to have better sleep. There are different forms of prayer. We may chant inwardly:  God, have mercy on us. It is good if we inhale God or any other name of God with which we feel comfortable and at ease, and exhale 'have mercy on us'.

Inner Sanctuary If with humility we enter our inner sanctuary, his precious voice we listen whenever we do acts of mercy or compassion wherever is truth and wisdom we feel god is there we learn talking to god like children talking to parents

The universal truth is that we are all mortal, and our life 'is not full enough' to accomplish our mission and aim fully.
