4. View/s:

  • It is not true that stronger person win always.  Sometimes weaker can defeat the stronger.  For example, wild boars can kill leopards too. 
  • We become sad since we always think of ourselves.  If we think of others, then happiness grows like mushrooms.  In this advance world cooperative society will be most powerful.  We should support to one another.  It is the only way to create a happier society rather than killing one another.

5. Shree Sadhak Satyam (SSS):

The more we are elevated, the more we see that cleanliness is necessary. It is the way of life. It's not that someone is cleaner than the other, or someone loves more cleanliness. It is the inner expression of beauty, virtue and Truth.

When we meditate we should be sincere, so sincere that it is as if we are meditating for the last time, or as if we are to die the next day, or in five minutes. If we have this attitude in our heart when meditating we will have achievement.

Meditating doesn't mean that you sit there long. You have to let your whole being entered into the method, into the meditation every day, more and more. The more, the better for you and you'll find everything is ok.

Hari Ohm

Sardar Gurudayal Singh is rumbling along M.G. Road in his old Ambassador car when he gets pulled over by traffic police officer. Officer looks inside the car and sees a big black hole in the dashboard.

"What happened to your speedometer?" asks the Officer. "I sold it," replies Sardar Gurudayal Singh. "I don't need it any more." "What do you mean, you don't need it any more?" shouts the cop. "How can you tell how fast you are going?" "That is easy," laughs Sardar Gurudayal Singh. "At twenty miles an hour, the fenders rattle. At thirty, the doors rattle. At forty, my turban rattles. At fifty, my teeth rattle. And at sixty, my teeth fall out!"

9. Recall/s:

Dream 26 January 2004. 

Padherapari Ko Bari, Rangrung, Tanahun.  I was climbing from my Bari to the way to Pandhera (Drinking Water Fountain).  Very dense forest left side, stiff cliff on ahead and a big stone near landslide, the scene is easy to recall.  I felt the way is very difficult.  I remember Chhunkuri Tata since I approached to her Bari, that was just below the trail, Dahar.  From the point the way goes straight almost horizontally to the Pandhera.  Within the dream I dreamed much more the development of the land.  I saw Ghaiya, Makai, Kodo, Tori and Tarkari farming, buffalo, cattle and goat raring, etc. I imagined a big pond nearby my Bari and tap water from Pandhera. 

Oh, it is very difficult to remember all and express them as it is.

10. Note/s:

 

Keep Your Job - Keep Your Marriage - Keep Out Of Trouble

DID YOU KNOW!

That anyone who uses your computer can see what websites you've visited?
And that simply deleting history only removes part of the records.
If someone starts typing a web site, your browser will recall old sites you've visited?
Your boss or wife can start typing "www.dateline.com" and the browser will recall "www.datingclub.com"
Every picture on every site you've ever visited has been copied to your hard drive?
Deleting the cache does not permanently remove them!
And there are many more ways you are secretly tracked...

11. Visit/s

January 24, 25.  Visit Tanahun, Kaski and Shyangja.

 

12. Quiz/es:

What's the difference between snow, snow flurries, and snow showers?

Snow: This refers to the white, cold, flakey stuff itself. It does not describe any particular manifestation thereof.

Snow Flurry: Light, intermittent snowfall without any significant accumulation of snow on the ground.

Snow Shower: A short duration of light to moderate snowfall. Snow showers are characterized by their sudden beginnings and endings -- they're finite. They usually leave snow on the ground, but not always. Also, snow showers come from cumuliform clouds, as opposed to stratiform clouds.

In addition, a snow squall is a heavy snow shower accompanied by strong winds. Snow fall is the measure (in inches) of snow depth over a given area in a six-hour period. Head to Weather.com for more definitions of snow rollers, snow garlands, snow eaters, and snow devils.
