Inda Naal Iniya Naal!!!!

This morning as I got up and sat in bed I felt something new about today and was wondering for a minute,what is special about today.After some pondering I realised today is 22nd July and it is my Birthday.Vow,I thought to myself,seems I am reaching a stage in life where I am forgetting my own bithday.
Anyways, went about the usual morning chores,enlightened my DH that it is my birthday today(he had forgotten too!!).Later in the morning I listened to some amazing Bajhans and was thinking about DH's birthday in April, when we had surprise visitors for lunch and we thoroughly were pleased with that.Initially, I thought will make some sweet today, but then postponed it to 25th thinking will combine it with DS's birtday too.Just as this thought was going on in my mind the telephone rang, and it was my one and only dear friend here in this part of the world.She called to say hello and wanted to know if she could come over for a chat.I was indeed thrilled at this.
We always look forward to sharing our happy days and moments with people usually.That is probably the reason I was so happy to hear from 'A'and even more excited when she came over.I remember last year I was in Boston for my birtday and we(DD&ME)went out to dinner at the Chinese place in Worcester.This year,I am here in Abudhabi.Is it going to be Canada next?????????????????I wonder!!!!!!!
So,coming back to the present, after all it was destined that a sweet be made today.Made batata vada and pineapple sheera,offered to God and then to dear 'A'.
It was wonderful that dear 'A' decided to come today and she too was extremely happy when I mentioned it was my birthday today.Had a good time with 'A',a wonderful human being for sure.
Another thing that made me happy was a mail from a dear,dear,friend Wishing Me A Happy Birthday.
I must mention that these little snippets in life can make us(and keep us) so truly happy and pleased and I for sure, am unable to think of these as coincidences.I do believe there is God's hand in every little thing that happens in our lives.HE made sure dear 'A'came over to meet me today.
Isn't that truly beautiful?????
Am enjoying my day today for sure!!!!!!!

Thought For The Day

What exists is only the perceiver of both the dream and the waking state - the "I”. Know that “I”; and know that “I” is the same as ”He” (God). You can know this only by intense spiritual discipline, that is not marred by anger, envy and greed - the vices that sprout from ego. You have to carefully watch and control these vices. When you get angry, you act as if you are possessed by an evil spirit; your face becomes ugly and frightful. Like the red bulb winking when danger is approaching, your eyes and face become red and act as a warning to you. Heed that signal and quietly get away to a lonely spot. Do not give free vent to wicked words. Once you grow in wisdom, ego will naturally fall away. So develop wisdom and discriminate by knowing the ephemeral nature of all objective things. Then ego will die a natu ral death from the field of your heart and you will attain salvation

Happiness makes one forget one's obligations to oneself as a human being. It drags one into egoism leading to committing of sins. Happiness draws a veil over experiences that make one tough. It also spends out one’s stock of merit and arouses baser passions. On the other hand, grief renders man alert and watchful. Misery makes one think and leads to self-improvement. It also endows one with new and valuable experiences, and highlights the value of happiness. Realize that happiness and misery are inseparable and you cannot choose only one. Treat troubles and travails as your friends; at least, do not see them as your enemies! It is best to regard both happiness and misery as gifts of God. That is the easiest path for one's own liberation.
