Three Inspirational Quotes of Buddha

1. "All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become."
You become what you think about or in other words: what you focus on grows in your life and from what you take your focus away from diminishes. This is also the message of the law of attraction, recently very popular by the movie and book "The Secret ".

It means that the mind is directing our life in that way that we manifest the life around us by the thoughts and directions we take with our mind. Since everything we created around us is first created in the mind, it is the tool or the interface between our self and the material world.


2. "All wrong-doing arises because of mind. If mind is transformed can wrong-doing remain?"
This is the core of personal development. It points towards the need to train and develop the mind and to free it from limits and negativity.

The other quote "The mind is the source of happiness and unhappiness." makes the same point with the special notion of happiness. The mind used correctly – i.e. constructive, empowering, solution- and action-oriented, positive, truth-seeking – can create happiness. But used poorly – i.e. blaming, egocentric, negative, blinded by ambition or separation – it will create unhappiness for us. Training the mind is the key here.

The quote may also point to a transformation by awakening directly, where the mind becomes the servant of the self and not the creator of a self-image (the concept of the ego) as a replacement for the true self.

3. "Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared."
This points to the abundant nature of reality. The abundance mentality says there is enough for everyone, we only have to realize and live by it. It is the opposite of a scarcity mentality, where you have the belief that you always have to fight for your part in a limited world.

Thank God, who blessed us a baby boy

It was exactly at 8.02PM in UAE. I was just entering into my house after a returning from a day long work and was fedded up with the traffic at Dubai. Exited on having a ring on my mobile. My younger brother (Lalu) called me to inform that God has blessed us a baby boy at 9:25PM (India Time) and mother and son are well there.

My happiness jumps every boundary. I showerd with the glad. Immidiated I thanked God and wished his long & successful life. Looked the photos of my parent and tear came down beneath my eyes when realised my late father missed this happiness. He would have the happiest person in the earth. Talked with my mother to share the joy.

In Dubai, I first informed to my friend Trilochan, Sushant & Nithya...

Nithya suggested (in jokingly) to name him as 'Burj Khalifa Tripathy' because he born at the same date and same time (4-JAN-2010 8PM dubai time)when the worlds tallest tower (Burj Khalifa) inagurated in this time.
