Thanks a ton Bhein ji, have been searching for this verse since ages.

A man walks into a restaurant with a full-grown ostrich behind him. The waitress asks them for their orders. The man says, "A Veg Sandwich, fries and a coke," and turns to the ostrich, "What's yours?" "I'll have the same," says the ostrich. A short time later the waitress returns with the order. "That will be $9.40 please." The man reaches into his pocket and pulls out the exact change for payment. The next day, the man and the ostrich come again and the man says, "A Veg Sandwich, fries and a coke." The ostrich says, "I'll have the same." Again the man reaches into his pocket and pays with exact change. This becomes routine until the two enter again. "The usual?" asks the waitress. "No, this is Friday night, so I will have veg pasta, baked potato and a salad," says the man. "Same," says the ostrich. Shortly the waitress brings the order and says, "That will be $32.62." Once again the man pulls the exact change out of his pocket and places it on the table. The waitress cannot hold back her curiosity any longer. "Excuse me, sir. How do you manage to always come up with the exact change in your pocket every time?" "Well," says the man, "several years ago I was cleaning the attic and found an old lamp. When I rubbed it, a Genie appeared and offered me two wishes. My first wish was that if I ever had to pay for anything, I would just put my hand in my pocket and the right amount of money would always be there." "That's brilliant!" says the waitress. "Most people would ask for a million dollars or something, but you'll always be as rich as you wantfor as long as you live!" "That's right. Whether it's a gallon of milk or a Rolls Royce, the exact money is always there," says the man. The waitress asks, "What's with the ostrich?" The man sighs, pauses and answers, "My second wish was for a tall chick with a big <banned word filter activated> and long legs who agrees with everything I say.."

What we get in the present is our destiny, and what we do with what we get is our self-effort, says SWAMI TEJOMAYANAnDA Vasanas or our tendencies drive us to karma, action, which in turn leads to phala, results. These results are called our destiny. However, free will is not a product of vasanas. It is a human right, a special quality exclusive to human beings. How we use free will may be influenced by our vasanas. So we can use our free will well or otherwise. At the end of the Bhagwad Gita, Krishna says to Arjuna, Yatheccasi tatha kuru Do as you think fit. If we feel we cannot be sure that we may use our free will well, surrender it to God, as Arjuna did. He said, Karisye vacanam tava I shall do as you say. Since God has said, Tesam aham samuddharta I redeem those who surrender, tell God, Please guide my life. However, we must also keep in mind the fact that this kind of total surrender is the greatest use of our purushartha, self-effort, and it is very difficult. If we are convinced that destiny is more important, then we should accept that every success or failure that comes our way is because of our destiny. On the other hand, if we believe that self-effort alone is important, then too there is no problem, because we will accept responsibility for all our failures and successes. But if we believe that both are important, a problem arises because we will not be able to say with certainty how much of our success or failure is due to self-effort and how much of it is due to destiny. Probably we would then end up saying that everything that happened over which we had no control happened because of destiny and the rest was due to self-effort. However, the best thing is to know that in a given situation we are only required to act to the best of our ability and knowledge and leave the rest. If the result is preordained, then the question that comes up is, preordained by whom? If it is by us, then try to change it. If we cannot change the result, then try to change the state of mind. When we know our true Self, then there is no question of self-effort or destiny because we would then have realised that the entity that does actions and reaps the results the jiva itself is illusory. What we get in the present is our destiny. What we do with what we get is our self-effort. Each moment in life we find that we are faced with one situation or the other. We do not know how it comes, why or from where. We do not know exactly how much we have contributed to bring about this situation before us. The fact that there is a situation, leads to the conclusion that it must have one or more causes. The important thing is that we must know how to deal with it with a cool mind, in a way which uplifts us, and is beneficial to all concerned. Even though we have no control over the situation, we decide how to deal with it. We may do it in one way or the other or decide not to do anything at all. Sant Ekanatha had a supportive wife; so he thanked God for her. Sant Tukarama had a cantankerous wife who opposed him all the time. He too thanked God for a wife like that as it prevented him from getting attached to her. Each of them dealt with their destiny in a positive way. Some say that even our responses to situations are not self-effort, but destined. That belief too should not cause problems, because then we would have no complaints. We would accept things as they come, cheerfully. Some say that there is no destiny or self-effort. It is all the will of God. Then also it is fine as we accept all situations as gifts of God. Some others feel we create the situation and we respond to it; we are totally responsible. This attitude also can lead us to a positive response to situations as we would not blame anyone else, learn to be responsible and become careful in our responses.

Trust reverses our disease, an article by Dr. Amrit Vallabh The religious scriptures keep saying, "Life comes from the mind." But until a foreigner comes along with empirical data, we can't believe it. Louis L. Hay, after in-depth study has documented mental causes and remedies for each and every disease. The fact is, while we avoid toxins through food or water we're oblivious to when we let dangerous poisons into our minds. Criticism, anger, resentment and guilt are some of the most dangerous negative patterns. For instance, criticism indulged in long enough will often lead to diseases such as arthritis. Long-held resentment festers and eats away at the self and can lead to tumors and cancer. Guilt always seeks punishment and leads to pain. The good news is that we can choose to take part in our own healing process. It does not matter how long we have had negative patterns, illness, a rotten relationship or money worries, we can begin to make a change today. The mental causes for some diseases are interesting: Disease & Mental Causes Lower back pain - Fear of money shortage High blood pressure - Longstanding emotional problem unsolved Headaches - Selfcriticism, fear Heart problems - Longstanding emotional problems, lack of joy, stress and strain Knee problems - Stubborn ego and pride, inability to adjust Neck problems - Refusing to see other sides of a question Thyroid - Humiliation, "I never get to do what I want to do" Tumours - Nursing old hurts and shocks Ulcer - Fear that you are not good enough Diabetes - Longing for what might have been, deep sorrow Fibroids, cysts - Nursing a hurt from a partner, a blow to feminine ego The best cure that can be prescribed for most of these diseases? "FORGIVENESS"! It releases our toxins and heals us. Source: The Kalgidhar Society, Baru Sahib

Question - In today's world, is marriage still relevant ? Unlike a hundred years ago, a couple today can live together without getting married. Answer - Marriage is more relevant today than ever before in history. Marriage used to be a given. Now it is a choice. All the old arguments for marriage have fallen away, and we are left with only one true reason to get married. We can finally get married for the right reason. What were once good reasons to get married are largely irrelevant today. Here are four classic reasons to get married: 1. So we can live together. As you pointed out in your question, this reason no longer applies to the many couples who live happily together without getting married. 2. So we can have children. Again, it is possible to have children and be wonderful parents without getting married. 3. To make a solid commitment. That's a charming one. We are getting married to make it harder to walk away from each other. How romantic. 4. To make our relationship official. You could achieve that by placing an announcement in the newspaper saying, "We are now official." So what are we left with? If not to live together, to start a family, to make a commitment or to make it official, why get married? There's only one reason. Marriage makes a relationship divine. Getting married means that something bigger than both of you is bringing you together. A wedding achieves something that simply can't happen otherwise -- God is introduced into the relationship. Until they are married, a couple's commitment to each other is a human commitment, with all the limitations of being human. We can't see the future, we can't know what may change and what may eventuate, and we make mistakes. Anand Karaj elevates the commitment beyond human limitations. The blessings are received by reading Lavan and performing Phere, this brings God into the union as a partner. You are married not just because you chose to be but because God has said so. Without an Anand Karaj you can have love, commitment and family -- but it isn't holy. By marrying according to tradition does your union become sacred. Only after the wedding is your love blessed with the divine imprint of eternity.
