The main purpose of your coming into this world is to know thyself and to avoid the further cycle of birth and death as per the eternal eastern philosophy. Thats why know thyself is the supreme command in to spiritual practices. If you know about all the world without knowing thyself, it would be simple waste of energy and time. The creation what we see outside you is in you also. When you know thyself , clearly, completely, then this truth would be revealed. Nothing is outside what is not in you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;know thyself quotes&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Different know thyself quotes are available from all over the world. Socrates clearly ordered to know thyself by way of questioning. Thalmes, aristotle and all greek philosophers got the cue from eastern masters, and vedas the truth of knowing ones self and stressed on this. similarly chinese quotations say that know yourself to know fully about others. Latin principles also confirmed this know thyself importance and urgency. Delphi also joined this bandwagon in insisiting to know thyslef. so, we need not enquire &lt;b&gt;who said know thyself&lt;/b&gt; and who omitted know thyself command is immaterial. All the gyanis, masters, saints , avatars said know thyself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;How to know thyself:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is very difficult to know thyself from books or thinking.. because the enquiry who am i should be started.. one guru, master is required to initiate your quest, search to know thyself. He will govern your progress and guide you wherever you are stopped.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7606479311098818157-8794216097996204429?l=gvsgopalarao.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gvsgopalarao.blogspot.com/feeds/8794216097996204429/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7606479311098818157&amp;postID=8794216097996204429' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7606479311098818157/posts/default/8794216097996204429'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7606479311098818157/posts/default/8794216097996204429'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gvsgopalarao.blogspot.com/2007/04/know-thyself.html' title='know thyself'/><author><name>pal102</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='09859852391378785194'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7606479311098818157.post-3542367084762613232</id><published>2008-06-21T08:03:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-27T06:35:47.801-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='know thyself quotes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='know thyself'/><title type='text'>Know thyself Quotes:</title><content type='html'>This &lt;strong&gt;know thyself&lt;/strong&gt; command is very famous and almost all saints, masters insisted on this . we see some of the quotes in this. &lt;strong&gt;Thales&lt;/strong&gt; is a greek philosopher who lived in 543 BC to 635 BC.

From that time onwards it is in every one's mind and the pursuit  strengthened.The term &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span class="st" id="st" name="st"&gt;know&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="st" id="st" name="st"&gt;thyself&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; became a sysnonym for self realization or self knowledge. East or west, all the sages are with one single prescription of  &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span class="st" id="st" name="st"&gt;know&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="st" id="st" name="st"&gt;thyself&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. For example,the phrase has been attributed to at least five ancient Greek sages: &lt;/p&gt; &lt;div&gt;Chilon of Sparta&lt;br /&gt;Thales of Miletus&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;Socrates&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pythagoras&lt;br /&gt;Solon of Athens&lt;br /&gt;All the above relegiously adviced the mankind to &lt;span class="st" id="st" name="st"&gt;know&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="st" id="st" name="st"&gt; thyself&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;u&gt;Nosce te ipsum&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;In Latin the phrase is generally given as nosce te ipsum. An alternative Latin rendering, &lt;strong&gt;temet nosce&lt;/strong&gt;, appears inscribed above the entrance to the Oracle's kitchen .All these latin terms are equivalent to  &lt;em&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="st" id="st" name="st"&gt;know&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="st" id="st" name="st"&gt;thyself&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;.It is also found "&lt;em&gt;&lt;span class="st" id="st" name="st"&gt;know&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="st" id="st" name="st"&gt;

It is the highest order knowing after which you need not know anything. What exactly we mean by knowing oneself. It is knowing who we are, where from we came, where we all go after this life, with what elements we are made of, what is the purpose of life. The answers for all the above questions is the solution to  know ourselves.&lt;br /&gt;we are not the body, we are not the mind, we are not the prana(life energy). How can we say? Body is changing continuously. Even though the body is mutilated or burnt, we identify it as the body of you by dna tests or any other tests. second thing is , we say it is my body, that means, we are different from body. This is my pen means, i am not the pen. pen is different from me. similarly we say this is my mind. that means some body is possessing the mind. so, we are not the mind. some people can kill their mind, or annihilate mind or control the mind. so, we are not mind,as we are controlling it. we are not organs, because so many organs form to help you and without any organ also you exist. Then who we are? This is knowing  thyself.&lt;br /&gt;when you are awake, you are there. when asleep without knowing anything, still you exist. when you die, you will still exist. if you believe in rebirth, you will take another birth. This I is eternal, that is the self. That is the God. This single I what we refer to us, is a drop in the ocean of God. All Is together will form a part of the unseen, all knowing God.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;why to know:&lt;/strong&gt; Becasue it is the sole purpose of this life. we take this birth as a sequence of our past karmas, in past lives. while repaying the debts we made in past life and to collect what payments we have to in this life because of past life good deeds. But while just doing these things, why should we waste our life. If we simultaneously do some good deeds, improve ourself, and  know ourself, we need not take birth again. Knowing yourself is also called the gyan, or supreme wisdom. This burns away all your sins and you yourself become God.You will  know every thing in the world. Becasue all the universe is present in you in miniature.All elements in the world are present in  you also. if you know once the gyan, you will not forget it. It is such a thing that if it comes once , it will not go forever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;how to know&lt;/strong&gt;: To know thyself, it takes lot of effort. The effort should be pointed. You should be guided by a real guru, who knows all these process. If guru is not there, if you get eligibility to have guru, the God will show you a guru. sometimes, a guru come in search of you. Without guru , it is almost impossible to realize  self.To get the eligibility to get a guru, or to advance in the self realization path, we should cultivate good habits, live in better way as presecribed in relegious books,. There are many methods to improve yourself day by day. You have to worship God through 9 ways of bhakti. If this is not ok for you, follow the 8 fold yoga to purify yourself. If you do not purify yourself, the mind will distract you and take away from the goal.&lt;br /&gt;where to know: This is an esoteric knowledge. A guru will tell you and teach you the important things in authoritative way which instills confidence in you. Meanwhile, you may refer books to  know the experiences of others. Read relegious texts to understand the process.&lt;br /&gt;when to know: There is no specific time to&lt;strong&gt; know thyself&lt;/strong&gt; When you cross the age of 16 you are eligible. If a child starts practicing right living from his childhood, he can cut shor the time for self purification. You can start this knowing  thyself at any time before you die. If you are lucky, you can realize yourself in one day, or seven days even, though it is very difficult.&lt;br /&gt;This &lt;em&gt; know thyself&lt;/em&gt; effort is for every one, male, female, young or old.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7606479311098818157-2003058815503855485?l=gvsgopalarao.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gvsgopalarao.blogspot.com/feeds/2003058815503855485/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7606479311098818157&amp;postID=2003058815503855485' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7606479311098818157/posts/default/2003058815503855485'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7606479311098818157/posts/default/2003058815503855485'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gvsgopalarao.blogspot.com/2007/02/way-to-know-thyself-goal.html' title='Way to know thyself goal.'/><author><name>pal102</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='09859852391378785194'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7606479311098818157.post-2027923910407370161</id><published>2008-03-26T11:07:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-03-26T11:07:50.796-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='raise and fall'/><title type='text'>raise and fall of musharaf</title><content type='html'>musharaf came to power by throwing down the democratic leader parwarej and ruled pakistan for about 7 years under military rule. His coming to power was a miracle as well as losing his post back to democracy. He is a military man and loves his uniform very much. Time was very favourable to him to run the country under his power (military rule). In a referendum he got favourable votes and he continued his ruling and kept pakistan in dark . He wrote a book also as if he was going to be a historic figure. But , times changed. The destiny is not favourable. He had to give way to the changes. The power is slipping from his hands. His own men in army are disowning him. sooner or later he will go into exile, which is the only recourse left to him. The lesson learnt is that never think any power, position as your permananent thing.

This is an interesting news. The ACP till now killed 56 people under the fake encounters. One movie also was made by ram gopal verma with the name ab tak chappan. The life story episode of this ACP teaches us one thing. If you kill you will also be killed by some one, in a worst manner. Your life loses the real value. This ACP became very corrupt and extorting money from people. He was having many pending enquiries. Human rights association decried his actions. Now he met his worst part of his life . This may be engineered by some more local people. The ACP security was almost Z category. I dont know why such notorious person requires that much costly security at the cost of people's money. The funny thing is, when his death time approached , he himself sent away his security persons, and prepared himself unknowingly to quit the world in miserable way. what we learn? simple life is better than a life like a parasite. sandalwood smuggler veerappan too met his miserable death after evading the police for a decade . He killed hundred elephants for their ivory tusks.

I have lot of respect , reverence for bhagawan ramana maharshi because i heard His greatness through famous, reliable saints and seers like sundara chaitanyananda . So i paid a visit to His (ramana maharshi) asram. It is was very placid, clear, saintly and good place to worship. They are (desciples) are worshipping the idols, shivalinga just like any temple but the maintanance and the sanctity of atmosphere around ashram was very poius. Desciples are silently meditating and praying in the main hall. the fragrance of agarbatti is very wonderful.peacocks of two three different colors are wandering in the ashram precincts without fear. i observed one white peacock too.&lt;br /&gt;i purchased one book and one dvd to know about &lt;i&gt;ramana maharshi&lt;/i&gt;.

But in reality it is not like that. There would not be any unknown thing except &lt;strong&gt;God &lt;/strong&gt;behind every thing. Though some people plot a net connaive , it would not work because the unknown thing behind the visible hurdle is &lt;strong&gt;God&lt;/strong&gt; only. So, it is not wise to scold are blame some one with some assumptions. Wait till every thing is clear. Even if they plotted something, every thing goes as per the wish and command of God who looks after all .

It is not permanent and is not real or truth.If itself is the joy, self effulgent, then it always exists and independent. That is the god.what we see , what we perceive are contaminated and biased. our mind creates the world. but is the snake real? is the snake bite real? then what about the fears about snakes when we walk in garden? if you are not afraid, you will not be cautious and loose life. we should not lose life which is the primary object in our plane.ok. instead of getting scared of snakes, notice the danger , take precautions and be safe. Important thing is you should not have the feeling of fear in your mind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You should treat it as a game of snakes and ladders.when we work in this world, we are afraid of job less ness. it causes fear, but another job anyway comes to us. why should we be afraid? only pray god, play the game. make your alternative resources ready to meet the adversity. But this is not so easy. Whatever you make alternative arrangements, those may not come to rescue in case or danger or need. So, if you have the invisible, invincible grace of god on your side, every thing in your pocket would be an alternative arrangement in dangerous , needy conditions. So, we have to have His or Her grace, blessings. Ok, what to do for that? I think and believe and feel that remembering his name, uttering his name, going to temple regularly and praying would&lt;br /&gt;definitely help for the quantity of blessings we want in our day to day life needs. When you want to start a business or improve business as per your wish and design, you must vigorously pray for Her or His help. beg, yell for help. And put all out efforts of yours. Then your boat slowly starts sailing towards the desired shore.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7606479311098818157-8910989871906120511?l=gvsgopalarao.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gvsgopalarao.blogspot.com/feeds/8910989871906120511/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7606479311098818157&amp;postID=8910989871906120511' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7606479311098818157/posts/default/8910989871906120511'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7606479311098818157/posts/default/8910989871906120511'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gvsgopalarao.blogspot.com/2007/08/ananda-bliss.html' title='Ananda, the Bliss'/><author><name>pal102</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='09859852391378785194'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_rY-3y2EBSKw/RrXU7sHP3gI/AAAAAAAAAbU/ddUDkH4dleo/s72-c/ananda.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7606479311098818157.post-5060192717978592182</id><published>2007-07-23T11:09:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-08-05T06:59:09.268-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='spiritual growth'/><title type='text'>New Spiritual methods</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rY-3y2EBSKw/RrXXZcHP3iI/AAAAAAAAAbk/dGgU5P84pmk/s1600-h/spiritualpath.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rY-3y2EBSKw/RrXXZcHP3iI/AAAAAAAAAbk/dGgU5P84pmk/s200/spiritualpath.jpg" border="0" alt="spiritual travel through a path which is full of pitfalls and wild animals"id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5095215385482878498" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;we are in a speed age. A faster age than our predecessors who spent their lives in past centuries and decades. They followed the paths shown by different peers, gurus, masters or prophets and some how achieved their goal in spiritualism, self realization. But now times have changed. The roads laid till now and available for spiritual travel are narrow, congested and dusty roads . These may not safely &lt;br /&gt;accomodate the present day requirements. Our requirements travel in faster vehicles like car. But the spiritual paths, customs, methods available to us as on this day are like narrow dusty roads meantfor bullock carts and horse dragged carts. These are not suitable for present day needs and so can not answer well for our needs and questions. Though truth is always same and without any change, the paths to reach the truth destinations would change. The methodologies, the description for god and the benefit for worship have lost their meaning and thus became less attractive . The requirements and demands of worshippers, spiritual aspirants have drastically changed and their assumptions, knowledge have also changed. Hence now there is dire need to change the old spiritual definitions, spiritual methods immidiately for better performance and to reap real, better benefits in the future &lt;br /&gt;millinium that starts from today.&lt;br /&gt;tags:spiritual spiritual healing, spiritual growth, spiritual gifts , spiritual direction, new age , spiritual retreat , spiritual warfare , spirituals , spiritual guidance, spiritual life, spiritual quotes, negro spirituals , spiritual cinema, spiritual development , center for spiritual living , spiritual gifts test , spiritual journey , spiritual formation , spiritual books , spiritual living , spiritual retreats, new age store , spiritual music, negro spiritual , spiritual meditation , spiritual gift , spiritual enlightenment , spiritual poems , new age radio , spiritual laws , spiritual exercises&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7606479311098818157-5060192717978592182?l=gvsgopalarao.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gvsgopalarao.blogspot.com/feeds/5060192717978592182/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7606479311098818157&amp;postID=5060192717978592182' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7606479311098818157/posts/default/5060192717978592182'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7606479311098818157/posts/default/5060192717978592182'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gvsgopalarao.blogspot.com/2007/07/new-spiritual-methods.html' title='New Spiritual methods'/><author><name>pal102</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='09859852391378785194'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rY-3y2EBSKw/RrXXZcHP3iI/AAAAAAAAAbk/dGgU5P84pmk/s72-c/spiritualpath.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7606479311098818157.post-8328814766602358490</id><published>2007-07-21T20:05:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-07-21T20:06:33.328-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='spiritual growth'/><title type='text'>Need for New Spiritual paths</title><content type='html'>Our masters, epics, gurus have defined the path for &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;self realization&lt;/span&gt;(spiritual) or better living and these paths are based on the eternal truth. There is no doubt in that. Let it be any relegion like hinudism, islam or christianity or buddhism, jainism or taoism. But now the world has changed drastically in the latst one decade which has lesser similarities to compare with the old world. The means, ways, methods,incidents, diseases of present life are entirely different from the old world which existed till 2000. &lt;br /&gt;So, the roads laid by the gurus, masters, prophets for travel became narrow, conjusted and unsuitable for our present day faster vehicles. These &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;spiritual paths&lt;/span&gt; are ok for bullock carts or horse drawn carriages. But now we travel in different vehicles for spiritual growth. So there is need for redefining the spiritualism, spiritual practices in view of our present day needs, challenges and choices. So, we discuss these spiritual challenges and show improved spiritual paths, practices based on current day life and events results.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7606479311098818157-8328814766602358490?l=gvsgopalarao.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gvsgopalarao.blogspot.com/feeds/8328814766602358490/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7606479311098818157&amp;postID=8328814766602358490' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7606479311098818157/posts/default/8328814766602358490'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7606479311098818157/posts/default/8328814766602358490'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gvsgopalarao.blogspot.com/2007/07/need-for-new-spiritual-paths.html' title='Need for New Spiritual paths'/><author><name>pal102</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='09859852391378785194'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7606479311098818157.post-6659269992376930074</id><published>2007-07-15T18:04:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-08-03T20:17:09.852-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='truth'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='myth'/><title type='text'>Unreal world-myth of life</title><content type='html'>oflate, i found a peculiar , interesting thought flashing in my mind. day after day , year after year is passing. each day is filled with events, persons, objects and feelings. All these together create ripples in mind. The past days or events, or emotions has nothing to do with me in this present. likewise, the future events. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, all through the limited life span, my energy is spent away in worrying about the passing events, emotions , days and years. I found that the days i spent gloomy, depressed, worried has nothing to do with me who is in present day. Ofcourse happy days happy moments are ok, because our real self is happiness. so, why i should worry about the people whom i met, with whom i work, the events, incidents i see? But can i neglect them and go ahead? at every point your interaction, your response is required. So, at the most just act as if involved in all these but never care for these because each and every incident, event, person would become a history by tommorrow.&lt;br /&gt;Hence this may be called unreal or myth or midhya.Then what is truth? The name of god, the form of god, the mantra which i was doing from my birth are not changing. They are without even an iota of change. So they can be truth. My sleep , my hunger were also with me all through my life but there changes observed in size and quantity. The best thing is to associate each and every incident , meeting of every person, losing of some thing, gaining of another thing with the name of Lord. Though you do not if your prayer reaching Him or not, if he is interested in you are not, His name is in your hands and it is bound to help you.&lt;br /&gt;tags:spiritual teachings , irish new age artist , spiritual awakening , spiritual disciplines , new age girl , spiritual songs , spiritual counseling , the new age , spiritual awareness , four spiritual laws , spiritual health , canton spirituals , spiritual psychic , spiritual abuse , spiritual cinema circle , spiritual gifts inventory , spiritual coaching , spiritual guide , new age stores , spiritual art , new age movement , new age health spa , new age outlaws , spiritual leadership , spiritual gift test , spiritual leader , spiritual director , spiritual leaders , spirit , spiritual coach , meditation , religious symbols , religious freedom , spiritual inspiration , religious tattoos , spiritual wisdom , religious art ,&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7606479311098818157-6659269992376930074?l=gvsgopalarao.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gvsgopalarao.blogspot.com/feeds/6659269992376930074/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7606479311098818157&amp;postID=6659269992376930074' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7606479311098818157/posts/default/6659269992376930074'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7606479311098818157/posts/default/6659269992376930074'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gvsgopalarao.blogspot.com/2007/07/unreal-world-myth-of-life.html' title='Unreal world-myth of life'/><author><name>pal102</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='09859852391378785194'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7606479311098818157.post-8065388961993058548</id><published>2007-07-02T10:37:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-07-02T10:38:59.915-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='destiny'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='indian president poll'/><title type='text'>indian president election</title><content type='html'>Pratibha patil candidature for presedential polls has became hot debating subject. Many a learned man, professor, CEO denounced her urge to occupy the respected position with her black dirty past history. Pratibha patil is involved in gratifying scandal, in which she started a cooperative bank in her local place, favoured her relatives in issuing loans beyond the capacity of the bank and failed to collect the loans. As a result the bank died or closed. Pratibha patil also received big chunk of loan from this bank. Now if a woman of this stature aims for a presedent post of India Inc, what should we say? What is her eligibility , right to sit in that seat? Her beiing woman and being supported by the crooked  political party? every voter of this electoral college knows about her and dislike to waste his or her vote on a least competetive candidate.. If the secret ballot throws her out of the race, it would not be a matter of surprise.&lt;br /&gt;This is a clear case of destiny.. all the two dozen politicians decided to throw a worthless candidate as president of india.

Pray or worship in your own way, as recommended by your relegion or sect or cult. But praying is important. Meditation is a bit better than worship. Worship helps to achieve your day to day goals while meditation helps to know yourself.&lt;br /&gt;Many people are confused how to do meditation. it is simple. just spend some time in the worship place or church and think about your god or guru, as if you are going to picturise an episode on him for a tv. Imagining and thinking in mind about your God or guru comes under the basic meditation. Infact my guru declared that walking is meditation and talking is also meditation. But we need purposeful , useful meditation for self realization.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7606479311098818157-6666186739167959784?l=gvsgopalarao.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gvsgopalarao.blogspot.com/feeds/6666186739167959784/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7606479311098818157&amp;postID=6666186739167959784' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7606479311098818157/posts/default/6666186739167959784'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7606479311098818157/posts/default/6666186739167959784'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gvsgopalarao.blogspot.com/2007/06/how-to-worship-god.html' title='How to worship God-Meditation'/><author><name>pal102</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='09859852391378785194'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rY-3y2EBSKw/RmJM_PgPz2I/AAAAAAAAAZk/BfWJttFJj6k/s72-c/hinduworship.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7606479311098818157.post-6245143710981952887</id><published>2007-05-15T21:11:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-05-15T21:12:23.185-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='god efforts'/><title type='text'>why God allows useless efforts:</title><content type='html'>when we believe in god and depend on Him for guidence, still we go on doing futile efforts for achieving some thing. suppose we want to apply for a job which god accepts and blesses for us.. we pray Him to show us a good job which he decides for us.

If any difference found, then we remove them from our list. Or antagonize them. Feel bad about their approach.&lt;br /&gt;Sri Sukhabhodhaananda told in a discourse meeting, that a devotee came and asked him why he was playing Volley Ball. A Guru should not play games as per that desciple’s knowledge, so he removed swami Sukbodhananda as guru on that day onwards from his mind. Swami said with smiling face that there was no rule that Guru should not play volley ball as there was no volley ball during Vedic time and he was also least bothered whether that person accepted or not accepted him as Guru.&lt;br /&gt;First of all , a sishya (disciple)should bother for Guru’s Knowledge and how he is teaching only and not bother about his dress and other things.&lt;br /&gt;The world is in existence before you’re born and also exists after your death also. So you must always remember that you are a guest in this world and never expect world to act as per your wishes, whims and fancies.&lt;br /&gt;I got opportunity to study VISHNU PURANAM which was telecast by Ravi Chopra who produced Maha Bharatam. In that, an 8 year boy DRUVA went to forest for TAPAS (penance) for DHARSHAN of VISHUNU. While he was doing TAPAS and facing lot of difficulties. Then Laxmidevi requested Vishnu to give DHARSHAN as he was 8 years old only and did many years TAPAS for his DHARSHAN. VISHNU said with smiling that BRAHAMA is the person who creates creation and also decides when Vishnu Darashn happens, as recorded with his birth , according to his prarabda KARMA i.e. the result of their good and bad actions which is as per the cosmic rule. Vishnu also told “Even Brahma or My self can not relax though it was made By us”.&lt;br /&gt;Present Law makers try to break rules for their selfish motives.&lt;br /&gt;Great devotees like RAMANA Maharshi, RAMAKRISHNA PARAMAHAMSA were also suffered from their deceases. But never prayed to remove the trouble. As Ramakrishna Parmahams told his devotees that PRARABDA Karma expires by consuming it only. But God gives enough strength to devotees to face them. Nobody can escape from Prarabda.&lt;br /&gt;Bhaktas like Raman, SATYA SAI BABA are realized that they are not body or mind and only CHAITANYA.So they never bother about body or mind problems&lt;br /&gt;We don’t know the PRARABDA Karma of our self and others.&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_rY-3y2EBSKw/Rj1Gi1AqVBI/AAAAAAAAAYU/uCy_X6-Iwh8/s1600-h/guru.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_rY-3y2EBSKw/Rj1Gi1AqVBI/AAAAAAAAAYU/uCy_X6-Iwh8/s400/guru.gif" border="0" alt="guru sivananda"id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5061279120393655314" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God only Know PRARABDA Karma of all people and gives fruits of our past PUNAYA or PAPA Karma at appropriate time which makes success or failures of our works. So in Bhagavid Geeta, the one important Verse which we have to chant during our Leisure times as many times as possible is KARMANYEVA ADHIKARISTE …………. .The meaning is: To DO YOUR DUTY WITH OUT EXPECTING the RESULT On your Deed as like&lt;br /&gt;Our effort is only ----75%%&lt;br /&gt;Our PRARABDA Karma’s Effect which may be either (+25% OR --25%)&lt;br /&gt;Total Result Either 100% Or 50%.&lt;br /&gt;We are success on our work if we get 100% Or We get Failure if our result is 50%. So our success or failure will depend as per above table. If GOD gives +25%, then we will success or If God gives ----ve according our PRARABDA, we will get failure in our deeds.&lt;br /&gt;Due to lack of Knowledge WE will blame persons, time and Society.&lt;br /&gt;You are only the responsible person,for Your Happy or Sorrow while others are NIMITHA MATRA (just an excuse, pretext ).&lt;br /&gt;GOD only Knows when to be punished as per PRARABDA and Cosmic law but not our personal Agenda.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;--J Muralidhara Rao&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7606479311098818157-7716739550967457543?l=gvsgopalarao.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gvsgopalarao.blogspot.com/feeds/7716739550967457543/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7606479311098818157&amp;postID=7716739550967457543' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7606479311098818157/posts/default/7716739550967457543'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7606479311098818157/posts/default/7716739550967457543'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gvsgopalarao.blogspot.com/2007/05/prarabda-karma-part-of-past-karma.html' title='Prarabda Karma- Part of Past Karma'/><author><name>pal102</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='09859852391378785194'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rY-3y2EBSKw/Rj1FvVAqVAI/AAAAAAAAAYM/MeaZf6eZAhE/s72-c/gurudattatreya.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7606479311098818157.post-6559387507419818442</id><published>2007-04-25T12:32:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-08-03T20:22:00.728-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='good life'/><title type='text'>What is a Good Life?</title><content type='html'>Good and bad are two relative terms.. what is good and what is bad changes from time to time and place to place..But a learned wise man, or saint can tell you what is good and what is bad for all times for all men. These sayings formed into epics or sacred texts. A good life should fulfil the objective of your coming into this world. Your good life living should give you happiness and should have no repentances at the time of leaving this body. To lead such a good life, many many methods were described in sacred texts like geetha, quoran and bible , zendavista.&lt;br /&gt;More than that, great saints , avatars, seers commented on these truths. All these truths evolved from a single truth. A truth is that exists always at all places.&lt;br /&gt;tags:spiritual readings spirit air religious studies religious right holy spirit religious gifts religious beliefs spirituality spiritual healers religious clip art church of religious science religious poems religious christmas poems religious wars religious music religious discrimination religious pictures religious persecution religious icons religious education spiritual healing books religious leaders religious stores religious books smells like teen spirit christmas religious spiritual transformation religious orders religious songs spiritual healer religious clipart religious jokes religious cults religious store religious medals religious groups religious conflict spiritual self sound and spirit spirit mountain spiritual path religious christmas songs religious statues spiritual community religious news spiritual help religious tattoo religious conflicts&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7606479311098818157-6559387507419818442?l=gvsgopalarao.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gvsgopalarao.blogspot.com/feeds/6559387507419818442/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7606479311098818157&amp;postID=6559387507419818442' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7606479311098818157/posts/default/6559387507419818442'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7606479311098818157/posts/default/6559387507419818442'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gvsgopalarao.blogspot.com/2007/04/what-is-good-life.html' title='What is a Good Life?'/><author><name>pal102</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='09859852391378785194'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7606479311098818157.post-8459328435596669792</id><published>2007-04-24T06:18:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-05-15T21:00:13.880-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='jiddu krishna murthy'/><title type='text'>Quotes of Jiddu Krishna murthy</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_rY-3y2EBSKw/Ri4FmL60JWI/AAAAAAAAASg/JRLpQIXH64Q/s1600-h/jiddukrishnamurthi.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_rY-3y2EBSKw/Ri4FmL60JWI/AAAAAAAAASg/JRLpQIXH64Q/s400/jiddukrishnamurthi.jpg" alt="jiddu krishnamurthi the great philosopher mostly lived in france, quotes from his speeches and writing to enlighten us." id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5056985585176290658" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.The thought process brings about psychological progress in time, but is it real, as real as chronological time? And, can we use that time which is of the mind as a means of understanding the eternal, the timeless? Because, as I said, happiness is not of yesterday, happiness is not the product of time, happiness is always in the present, a timeless state. I do not know if you have noticed that, when you have ecstasy, a creative joy, a series of bright clouds surrounded by dark clouds, in that moment there is no time: there is only the immediate present. But the mind, coming in after the experiencing in the present, remembers and wishes to continue it, gathering more and more of itself, thereby creating time. So, time is created by 'the more', time is acquisition. And, time is also detachment, which is still an acquisition of the mind; therefore, merely disciplining the mind in time, conditioning thought within the framework of time, which is memory, surely does not reveal that which is timeless.&lt;br /&gt;TAG:jidhu Krishna Murthy and God&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7606479311098818157-8459328435596669792?l=gvsgopalarao.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gvsgopalarao.blogspot.com/feeds/8459328435596669792/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7606479311098818157&amp;postID=8459328435596669792' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7606479311098818157/posts/default/8459328435596669792'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7606479311098818157/posts/default/8459328435596669792'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gvsgopalarao.blogspot.com/2007/04/quotes-of-jiddu-krishna-murthy.html' title='Quotes of Jiddu Krishna murthy'/><author><name>pal102</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='09859852391378785194'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_rY-3y2EBSKw/Ri4FmL60JWI/AAAAAAAAASg/JRLpQIXH64Q/s72-c/jiddukrishnamurthi.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7606479311098818157.post-912975862717736068</id><published>2007-04-24T06:14:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-08-03T20:56:31.189-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='perception in life'/><title type='text'>Perception makes the difference</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The angle in which we see:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many incidents that occur in our life, day to day, will appear as you see them. Mostly, unless we are seasoned with highlever spiritual guidance and practice, we see every incident in our way, read the meaning from our mental dictionary, apply colors from our pallette. So, we can not understand why some thing has happend to us and we start treating it as a problem and we go on feeling mental agony.&lt;br /&gt;When your dearest person does something, that pained you in a way. You have lots of thoughts questioning why he did like that. More than that, your ego instigates you to retaliate his action and keeping him away from you.&lt;br /&gt;But if you see the same act from his or her side, it may appear differently..From third person angle it may be a smallest triavial matter.&lt;br /&gt;Think about the super God's angle.. i dont know how it looks, but it may look as a meaningless passing cloud.&lt;br /&gt;So, i think, it is waste of life to think about any happened incident and hope it should have happend otherway.

Spiritual growth implies that there would be a starting, and ending for this event. And a way too.. When your mind is free from disturbances, pulls and pushes, the spiritual growth would be faster. The urge for spiritual advancement itself is the begining of the journey. Spiritual masters preachings are the guide posts in the journey. Saints, avatars show the spiritual direction.  Only a spiritual man can take up this challenging assignment but all should take up one day or other this .&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7606479311098818157-5442108492216204437?l=gvsgopalarao.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gvsgopalarao.blogspot.com/feeds/5442108492216204437/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7606479311098818157&amp;postID=5442108492216204437' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7606479311098818157/posts/default/5442108492216204437'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7606479311098818157/posts/default/5442108492216204437'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gvsgopalarao.blogspot.com/2007/04/spiritual-growth.html' title='Spiritual Growth'/><author><name>pal102</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='09859852391378785194'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rY-3y2EBSKw/Rh8YpX2zKEI/AAAAAAAAAQA/QISJ1RY0FyE/s72-c/spirituallife.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7606479311098818157.post-2937448415967341591</id><published>2007-03-23T21:30:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-04-23T21:31:39.554-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='disappointments'/><title type='text'>Disappointments in life:</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;Disappointments in life:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Though i have some good skills in many fields, though i have good luck period as per the horoscopes, though i have big dreams supported by my hard work, i am lagging behind all my contemporaries and my juniors.. i donot know why.. i dont know where the problem is.&lt;br /&gt;I have taken vrs. while working in public service also, none satisfied with my talents and bosses got antogonised.. perhaps because of my stubbborn mentality and a belief that i know much.&lt;br /&gt;After that i had to change jobs very frequently once in a year or twice in a year, and almost all times employer indicating me to quit job.
