Most of us put in our best honest hard work in whatever we do to succeed, because honesty, we firmly believe, pays in the long run despite several disconcerting hiccups on the way. But there is another off-shoot of honesty which works in a way we remain unaware. How does this work behind the scene, as it were, and how it works better than our best? Watch on -----

Human life from birth to death is journey of endless struggle with expected and unexpected events and situations, a few happy, but mostly painful. The kind of peace we aspire or dream of is a state of absolute, unending calm, which is only a beautiful illusion. The truth is that we have to discover the genuine inner peace only within our problems. True peace isn’t found by escaping the storm, but by learning to sit calmly within it.

Love in purest form: A poignant story of stranger fulfilling the dying ...

You don't have to be a loved one to provide comfort and be a source of strength for someone in need. Often, the most meaningful connections are made in moments of pain, between people who are essentially strangers, yet choose to be present for one another. The simple act of staying, of just being there, can be the greatest gift you can offer. It's a reminder that love, in its purest form, isn't always about blood or history—it's about a willingness to see another person's need and answer it.

The story of Meloni reveals an unshakable truth: Life will always bring sorrow and hardship in its journey, but true happiness isn't the absence of pain; it's the conscious choice to find light amidst the dark shadows, to embrace gratitude, and to carry forward with a strong spirit to recover quickly from difficult situations.

The harsh truth is that your best effort cannot guarantee success. The only thing that you can guarantee and control is your effort, the best you can make. And giving up just because the result isn't guaranteed? That truly is the only real failure. You make effort because your dream is worth it.

Chasing perfection may rob you of your dreams- a powerful story on why y...

Pursuit of perfection causes fear due to uncertainty of its achievability, which, in turn, leads to procrastination, fuelled by fear of failure. This process can rob you of your dreams, because the perfection that we dream of often turns out to be mirage. Waiting for the perfect moment often means missing the moment altogether. What matters is that we should do our best and keep moving.

Kindness comes back; when and how may surprise you

Kindness has a way of returning when you least expect it and it comes from most unexpected places. A small act of compassion today may be rewarded by a stranger in a moment of personal need. Life has a quiet way of reminding us that every good deed plants a seed—and its return, though unpredictable, is always profound.

 

Terrified of pain and death? Watch how these helpless people conquered fear

Reflection: Where is the Freedom? 

In this moment of complete helplessness, the monk stopped resisting, stopped fearing, stopped choosing. He accepted reality as it was—and in doing so, he became utterly free. Free from fear of death. Free from the illusion of control. So did Epictetus, the Stoic philosopher.

Worried you may have to live and die unloved and unappreciated? Don’t be. Here’s why.

God’s creations are, sometimes, too mysterious, too exquisite to be appreciated by the crude eyes of the common people. Trust yourself that you have been blessed with divine beauty and intelligence. You are a diamond among stones, too perfect a masterpiece of creation to be appreciated by the imperfect people. Don’t allow yourself to wilt and wither away just because some commoners ignore you or pass senseless remarks about you.

Perhaps, the raven said to himself, I am not meant to be like other birds. Perhaps I am meant to be what I am. In time, Corvin no longer envied the golden feathers or sweet songs. He was not a lark or a peacock or a sparrow. He was the raven- —strong, steady, a voice in the darkness. And for the first time, he was content to be so.

Depressed over your looks? You too can become radiant and attractive

Buddha’s fail-proof technique to select the best talent for his mission ...

Lord, the disciple said: Why did you leave each day without speaking to the people? Buddha replied; I was searching for those from 500 who truly deserved my teachings. Each day, the number decreased as people grew impatient and frustrated. 

The 10 of you who stayed demonstrated patience, a thirst for knowledge, and the willingness to wait for the truth. These qualities are essential for understanding and spreading the dhamma.

Do you really love yourself? Then don't do this.

If you truly love yourself, you can never hurt others Self-love is not selfishness. It is a bedrock of empathy. You try to understand the feelings of others with reference to your own feelings. When you look upon the flaws of others you introspect and discover that you too have the same kind of flaws.

Zen Master Ryokan, the Great Fool whose presence itself was transformative

Ryokan stayed with us for a couple of days. A peaceful atmosphere filled our house, and everyone became harmonious. As soon as I started talking with him, I realized that my heart had become pure. He did not explain Zen or other Buddhist scriptures, nor did he encourage wholesome actions. He taught others only by his presence.

How Japanese Zen Master Taigu- the Great Fool- rescued prostitutes

It should be intriguing that the spiritually elevated and revered Zen masters in Japan loved to be awarded the title of the Great Fool. A fool does not know the tricks that “the wise people” employ to have their way. A fool is simple and pure at heart- impervious to the “ways of the world”.

Zen at its best-Story of Zen master Hakuin Ekaku’s-Is that so

Truly realized and accomplished Zen masters are living embodiments of a kind of primeval innocence, compassion and simplicity. Always ready only to give, they remain impervious to praise and criticism, gain and loss. Their naivete, so to say, leaves the common people so puzzled that they can’t believe such people also exist.
