THE SECRET OF HAPPINESS

A certain shopkeeper sent his son to learn about the secret of happiness from the wisest man in the world. The lad wandered through the desert for 40 days, and finally came upon a beautiful castle, high atop a mountain. It was there that the wise man lived. 

Rather than finding a saintly man, though, our hero, on entering the main room of the castle, saw a hive of activity: tradesmen came and went, people were conversing in the corners, a small orchestra was playing soft music, and there was a table covered with platters of the most delicious food in that part of the world. The wise man conversed with everyone, and the boy had to wait for two hours before it was his turn to be given the man's attention. 

The wise man listened attentively to the boy's explanation of why he had come, but told him that he didn't have time just then to explain the secret of happiness. He suggested that the boy look around the palace and return in two hours. 

"Meanwhile, I want to ask you to do something", said the wise man, handing the boy a teaspoon that held two drops of oil. "As you wander around, carry this spoon with you without allowing the oil to spill". 

The boy began climbing and descending the many stairways of the palace, keeping his eyes fixed on the spoon. After two hours, he returned to the room where the wise man was.

"Well", asked the wise man, "Did you see the Persian tapestries that are hanging in my dining hall? Did you see the garden that it took the master gardener ten years to create? Did you notice the beautiful parchments in my library?" 

The boy was embarrassed, and confessed that he had observed nothing. His only concern had been not to spill the oil that the wise man had entrusted to him. 

"Then go back and observe the marvels of my world", said the wise man. "You cannot trust a man if you don't know his house". 

Relieved, the boy picked up the spoon and returned to his exploration of the palace, this time observing all of the works of art on the ceilings and the walls. He saw the gardens, the mountains all around him, the beauty of the flowers, and the taste with which everything had been selected. Upon returning to the wise man, he related in detail everything he had seen. 

"But where are the drops of oil I entrusted to you?" asked the wise man. Looking down at the spoon he held, the boy saw that the oil was gone. 

"Well, there is only one piece of advice I can give you", said the wisest of wise men. "The secret of happiness is to see all the marvels of the world and never to forget the drops of oil on the spoon".

HOW TO GET WHATEVER U WANT BY MIND CONTROL

                        

           

Mind Control is everything

    People wonder why God has given all the good things in life for some and if not all the bad things at least enough bad things  for them to ponder and worry about almost all through the day. They curse him for not giving them what they wanted when their friends or neighbours have the same thing or get the same thing without any effort on their part. Well it sounds fair and a very common factor to be found all around us.

Have anyone of these people ever thought that God has nothing to do in them getting or not getting whatever things they wanted. In fact he has given all the knowledge and sources for us to have our own pie and to get whatever we like or however we want to live this life.

               Yes, God, the almighty has given a precious and powerful tool which most of us never use in its rightful manner to have their likings. But the tool which he has given functions properly and without our effort it does its duty and lies dormant waiting for its master to tame it and reach his desired destinations and things which he loves the most but don't know how to get them. 

               Mind. This is the most powerful and useful tool God has given mankind for him to prosper  and evolve through the ages and still in the process of evolving for many centuries to come. The mind has no limits of its own. Though we do not know the exact proportion of its power to do things it has been proved that its power is unlimited and it can link itself even to the remote parts of the universe to achieve its purpose when prepared in the proper manner. Scholars, scientists, actors, business magnets, world leaders, religious heads, magicians and all the famous and skilled people of this world have reached their heights by their effective use of their minds.

             How to use our mind effectively. How to control it when we can’t even control our emotions or just to stop eating a chocolate on your desk. Well its easy when it is properly trained. Even our muscles do not work properly if we don't use it often .Our mind is made of still more complicated matter which is trained not by doing physical exercise but by suggestions. Proper words put in a proper manner and suggested to the mind repeatedly has the attention of the mind and it takes notices of the fact that this suggestion has to be performed or undergone and it works mysteriously in its own complex way and just gives us the result without involving us in its complicate tasks.

             Take a task or a thing to be achieved in a proper manner. Just choose the right words and put it in a simple sentence and start repeating the sentence often. The words you choose should be understandable by your brain. Always use positive expressions. Suppose you want to  stop your habit of eating too much. Just choose the words like "I control my urge of eating" or "I maintain my body by planning my food". Give also a planned time table of what food and in how quantity you are going to eat it. Repeat this also regularly and this should be repeated in a sincere and emotional manner. Try to picture yourself that you are already in the process of achieving this and put a mental picture often to your brain that you look slim or fit by doing this and see happy face in your mental picture. Try also to add some video shots like your girlfriend or boy friend or someone whom you respect or love is surprised by seeing you in your desired manner and feel the feeling of happiness and joy which you will attain when you really attain it.

               Repeat this video, picture and suggestions as often as you can and very soon you will find it like a miracle that you would be the person you wanted to be. Likewise you can select whatever likings or aims you want to have or achieve and plan the suggestion and mental pictures with videos and if possible give a time frame for everything and you will be astonished that you are also a successful person like any other person whom you have admired or astonished. Have a wonderful life!!!! 

EACH PERSON SHINES HIS OWN WAY

A samurai who was known for his nobility and honesty, went to visit a Zen monk to ask him for his advice.

When the monk had finished his prayers, the Samurai asked, “Why do I feel so inferior? I have faced death many times, have defended those who are weak. Nevertheless, upon seeing you meditating, I felt that my life had absolutely no importance whatsoever.”

“Wait. Once I have attended to all those who come to see me today, I shall answer you.” – replied the monk.

The samurai spent the whole day sitting in the temple gardens, watching the people go in and out in search of advice. He saw how the monk received them all with the same patience and the same illuminated smile on his face.

At nightfall, when everyone had gone, he demanded: “Now can you teach me?”

The master invited him in and lead him to his room. The full moon shone in the sky, and the atmosphere was one of profound tranquility.

“Do you see the moon, how beautiful it is? It will cross the entire firmament, and tomorrow the sun will shine once again.”

“But sunlight is much brighter, and can show the details of the landscape around us: trees, mountains, clouds.”

“I have contemplated the two for years, and have never heard the moon say: why do I not shine like the sun? Is it because I am inferior?”

“Of course not.” – answered the samurai. “The moon and the sun are different things, each has its own beauty. You cannot compare the two.”

“So you know the answer. We are two different people, each fighting in his own way for that which he believes, and making it possible to make the world a better place; the rest are mere appearances.”
