Intelligence!!!

Intelligence!!!

While visiting India, George Bush is invited to tea with the Abdul Kalam.
He asks Kalam what his leadership philosophy is. He says that, it is to
surround him with intelligent people.

Bush asks how he knows if they're intelligent.

"I do so by asking them the right questions," says the Kalam. "Allow me to demonstrate." Bush watches as Kalam phones Manmohan Singh and says, "Mr. Prime Minister, please answer this question: your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this child is not your brother or sister. Who is it?"

Manmohan immediately responds, "It's me, Sir!"

"Correct. Thank you and good-bye, sir," says the Kalam. He hangs up and says, "Did you get that, Mr. Bush?" Bush nods: "Yes Mr. President. Thanks a lot. I'll definitely be using that!" Bush, upon returning to Washington, decides he'd better put the Condoleeza Rice to the test. Bush summons her to the White House and says, "Condoleeza, I wonder if you can answer a
question for me."

"Why, of course, sir. What's on your mind?"
Bush poses the question: "Uhh, your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this child is not your brother or your sister. Who is it?"

Rice was puzzled and finally asks, "Can I think about it and get back to you?" Bush agrees, and Rice leaves. Rice immediately calls a meeting of senior senators, and they puzzle over the question for several hours, but nobody can come up with an answer.

Finally, in desperation, Rice calls Colin Powell and explains the problem.
"Mr. Powell, your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this child is not your brother or your sister. Who is it?"

Powell answers immediately, "It's me, of course."

Much relieved Rice rushes back to the White House, finds George Bush, and exclaims, "I know the answer, sir! I know who it is! It's our Colin Powell!"

And Bush replies in disgust, "Wrong, Ms.Rice, it’s Manmohan Singh!"

20 IMPORTANT SPIRITUAL INSTRUCTIONS

20 IMPORTANT SPIRITUAL INSTRUCTIONS By SRI SWAMI SIVANANDA

These twenty instructions contain the very essence of all Yoga
Sadhana, Karma, Bhakti, Jnana and Yoga will all come to one who
follows them whole-heartedly. They are the unfailing keys to quick
and effective development and culture of the physical, mental, moral
and spiritual self of man.

1. BRAHMAMUHURTA

Get up at 4 a.m. daily. This is Brahmamuhurta which is extremely
favourable for Sadhana. Do all your morning spiritual Sadhana during
this period from 4 a.m. to 6:30 or 7 a.m. Such Sadhana gives quick
and maximum progress.

2. ASANA

Sit on Padmasana (lotus pose), Siddhasana (adept's pose) or Sukhasana
(any pose you like) for your Japa and meditation for half an hour,
facing east or north. Increase the period gradually to three hours.
Practice Sirshasana (headstand) and Sarvangasana (shoulderstand) for
maintenance of health and Brahmacharya. Take light physical exercises as walking, etc., regularly. Do twenty rounds of easy, comfortable Pranayama (breathing exercises). Do not strain yourself while doing Pranayama.

3. JAPA

You can repeat any Mantra (sacred syllable), such as pure Om or Om
Namo Narayanaya, Sri Ram, Sita Ram, Sri Ram Jaya Ram Jaya Jaya Ram,
Om Namah Sivaya, Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya, Om Saravanabhavaya
Namah, Hari Om, or Gayatri (a sacred Vedic Mantra), according to your taste or inclination, from 108 times to 21,600 times daily. Devotees of Christ may repeat the name Jesus or Hail Mary, Mother of Jesus.Parsis, Sikhs and Muslims may select a name or Mantra from the Zend Avesta, Granth Sahib or Koran respectively.

4. DIETETIC DISCIPLINE

Take Sattvic food. Give up chillies, tamarind, garlic, onion, sour
articles, oil, mustard, asafoetida. Observe moderation in diet
(Mitahara). Do not overload the stomach. Give up those things which
the mind likes best for a fortnight once or twice in a year. Eat
simple simple food. Milk and fruits help concentration. Take food as
medicine to keep the life going. Eating for enjoyment is a sin. Give
up salt and sugar for a week or a fortnight. You must be able to live on rice, dhal and bread without any pickle. Do not ask for extra salt for dhal, and sugar for tea, coffee and milk. People taking non- vegetaraian diet should try their best to gradually give up flesh-eating as completely as possible. They will be immensely benefited.

5. MEDITATION

Have a separate meditation room under lock and key. If this is not
possible then a corner of the room should be set apart with a small
cloth screen or curtain drawn across. Keep the room spotlessly clean.

6. SVADHYAYA
Study systematically the Gita, Ramayana, Bhagavatam, Vishnu-
Sahasranama, Lalita-Sahasranama, Adityahridaya, Upanishads, Yoga
Vasishta, Bible, Imitation of Christ, Zend Avesta, Quran, the
Tripitakas, the Granth Sahib and other religious books from half an
hour to one hour daily, and have Suddha Vichara (pure thoughts).

7. ELEVATE THE MIND

Get by heart some prayer - Slokas (prayer verses), Stotras (hymns)
and repeat them as soon as you sit in the Asana before starting Japa
or meditation. This will elevate the mind quickly.

8. BRAHMACHARYA

Preserve the vital force (Veerya (seminal energy)) very, very
carefully. Veerya is God in motion or manifestation (Vibhuti). Veerya is all power. Veerya is all money. Veerya is the essence of life,thought and intelligence. This instruction is not for bachelors only.

Householders also must follow it as far as possible. They must be
extremely moderate in their marital connections with their spouse.
This is very important.

9. CHARITY

Do charity regularly, every month, or even daily according to your
means. Never fail in this item. If necessary forego some personal
wants but keep up this charity regularly.

10. HAVE SATSANG

Give up bad company, smoking, meat and alcoholic liquors entirely.
Have constant Satsang (association with holy people). Do not develop
any evil habits. Deliberately exert to develop positive virtuous
qualities.

11. FAST

Fast on Ekadasi (11th day of the Hindu lunar fortnight) or live on
milk and fruits only. Christians must fast on alternate Sundays,
Muslims on alternate Fridays, and Parsis on a suitable day every
fortnight.

12. JAPA MALA

Have a Japa Mala (rosary) around your neck or in your pocket or
underneath your pillow at night. This will remind you of God. Twirl
the beads during your leisure. You should repeat the Name at all
times, whatever task you may be engaged in.

13. OBSERVE MOUNA

Observe Mouna (vow of silence) for a couple of hours daily. Do not
make gestures and inarticulate noises during the period of silence.

14. DISCIPLINE OF SPEECH

Speak the truth at all cost. Speak a little. Speak sweetly. Always
utter encouraging words. Never condemn, criticize or discourage. Do
not raise your voice and shout at little children or subordinates.

15. BE CONTENT

Reduce your wants. If you have four shirts, reduce the number to
three or two. Lead a happy, contented life. Avoid unnecessary worry.
Be mentally detached. Have plain living and high thinking. Think of
those who do not possess even one-tenth of what you have. Share with
others.

16. PRACTICE LOVE

Never hurt anybody. Ahimsa Paramo Dharmah (Non-injury is the highest
virtue). Control anger by love, Kshama (forgiveness) and Daya
(compassion). Serve the sick and the poor with love and affection.
This is service of God.

17. BE SELF RELIANT

Do not depend upon servants. Self-reliance is the highest of all
virtues.

18. HAVE SELF-ANALYSIS

Think of the mistakes you have committed during the course of the
day, just before retiring to bed (self-analysis). Keep a daily
spiritual diary and self-correction register as Benjamin Franklin
did. Maintain a daily routine and resolve-form. Do not brood over
past mistakes.

19. DO YOUR DUTY

Remember that death is awaiting you at every moment. Never fail to
fulfil your duties. Have pure conduct (Sadachara).

20. REMEMBER GOD

Think of God as soon as you wake up and just before you go to sleep,
and at all other times whether engaged in any work or not. Repeat His
Name always. Surrender yourself completely to God (Saranagati).

This is the essence of all spiritual Sadhana. It will lead you to
liberation. All these spiritual canons must be rigidly observed. You
must not give any leniency to the mind.
