A Nice Article about Love

by Swami Vivekananda

I once had a friend who grew to be very close to me. Once when we were sitting at the edge of a swimming pool, she filled the palm of her hand with some water and held it before me, and said this:
"You see this water carefully contained on my hand? It symbolizes Love."

This was how I saw it: As long as you keep your hand caringly open and allow it to remain there, it will always be there. However, if you attempt to close your fingers round it and try to posses it, it will spill through the first cracks it finds.

This is the greatest mistake that people do when they meet love...they try to posses it, they demand, they expect... and just like the water spilling out of your hand, love will retrieve from you .

For love is meant to be free, you cannot change its nature. If there are people you love, allow them to be free beings.

Give and don't expect.
Advise, but don't order.
Ask, but never demand.

It might sound simple, but it is a lesson that may take a lifetime to truly practice. It is the secret to true love. To truly practice it, you must sincerely feel no expectations from those who you love, and yet an unconditional caring."

Passing thought... Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take;
but by the moments that take our breath away.....

Life is beautiful!!! Live it !!! and Love it...!

“Important of Effort in your Life….!!!”

This is the story of the giant ship engine that failed ?
The ship's owners tried one expert after another,
but none of them could figure it out how to fix the engine.

Then they brought in an old man who had been fixing ships since 
he was a youngster. 
He carried a large bag of tools with him,& when he arrived, 
he immediately went to work.
He inspected the engine very carefully, from top to bottom.

Two of the ship's owners were there, watching this man,
hoping he would know what to do. After looking things over, 
the old man searched into his bag & pulled out a small hammer.  
He gently tapped something. & instantly, the engine lurched into life
& got started.

He carefully put his hammer away. The engine was fixed.!  
A week later, The owner received a bill from the old man for ten thousand $.

"What….?" the owner exclaimed. "He hardly did anything.... !"  
So they wrote the old man a note 
saying "Please send us an Itemized bill."
The man sent a bill that read:

Tapping with a hammer…...$ 2.00
But knowing where to hammer.....$  9998.00

Total $ Ten Thousand Only…..10,000/-

Moral of The Story:
Effort is important in life, but
   knowing where to make an effort in your life,
   Makes all the difference…..!!!”
