Priyam Brooyat | Guruji's Thoughts | 1 min.

Once there lived a king who used to consult astrologers about his future. All the astrologers told him that he would live very long but his son would die before his very eyes. That shocking news would naturally infuriate him and he would punish those astrologers. Finally, an old astrologer approached him and said that he was a very fortunate man and would install his grandson on throne with his own hands. Immensely pleased, the king rewarded the astrologer handsomely!

Instead of uttering the bitter prophecy like others, he said the same thing but in a sweet manner. And that made all the difference. So it has been said,

Satyam brooyat, priyam brooyat 
[Speak truly, speak sweetly]

Namaste!

Transform Yourself | Talks with Guru | 1 min.

Disciple: How can I make a positive change in others? Guru: Realize that you cannot change anyone in this world. If you are thinking that you can change someone, you’re wrong. I can only change one person in this world – me. Be it by advice, scorn, teaching or punishment, I cannot change anyone else in this world. If you believe the opposite, time will teach you. The only person you can change is you. So, brace yourself! Accept the good from everyone. Change yourself! The second verse from the Eleventh Anuvaka of Taittiriya Upanishad says: यान्यनवद्यानि कर्माणि | तानि सेवितव्यानि | नो इतराणि | यान्यस्माकं सुचरितानि | तानि त्वयोपास्यानि | नो इतराणि || २ ||  Yani anavadyani karmani | tani sevitavyani | no itarani |  Yani asmakam sucharitani | tani tvayopasyani | no itarani || 2 || [As you gain more freedom, you also have more responsibilities. You will be responsible for the consequences of your actions. Only noble and virtuous actions should be followed and not others. ]
