Sharpeners are for Pens, not for Fingers!

Sharpeners are for Pens, not for Fingers! - 20 Nov 09

Yesterday Suraj got a pencil sharpener, a nice one with a box and a lid. He was happy because he always breaks his colour pens and is not allowed to write with ball-pens because he always draws on walls, sheets and on whatever he can find.

So yesterday he got a sharpener and he had it in his hand. Purnendu was sitting next to him but was doing something else. When Purnendu turned around again he saw that there was blood on the bed-sheet. He was alarmed and looked at Suraj but the boy was still playing nicely, just turning the sharpener in his hand. But when he looked closer he saw that Suraj’s finger was bleeding. He brought band-aid and when he was about to put it on, Suraj finally realized that he was bleeding and started crying.

Purnendu told me this in the morning and we had to laugh. Suraj had managed to open the sharpener and put his finger in and turned but he didn’t even notice that he cut himself so busy he was in playing.

Sometimes I would like to be like Suraj. So nice, just innocent and full of trust that someone will take care of him. He also often doesn’t decide if he is really hurt but looks at others first after falling to see if they think it is bad. He has a great life, never care about anything because everybody is there for him. And a child’s love is just the greatest thing!

Words of Wisdom

Gurus

No matter which Guru a follower believes, he will say his guru is the only real one, the others are all fake. They realize it is nonsense what all others say, just their own guru is allegedly able to do everything he claims.

Parenting

Don't schedule your baby like an adult but get inspired by your child!

Happiness

Happiness should be our normal state of mind.

Religion

I heard Jesus is not usually an angry or short-tempered guy. He, too, believed in love instead of punishment.
Source
Love

Love is the only supernatural power that exists and we all have access to it. You just need to open your heart and let it flow.
Source
Beauty

Breast implants are for those who look at them, not for the one who will actually touch them in the end.
Source
Vegetarian

Vegetarianism starts at home. Show your kids how to caress animals, your cat just like farm cows! Why can you eat a cow, not a cat?
Source
Gurus

Insecurity and lack of self-confidence makes people search for a guru.
Source
Ego

Both, good and bad Karma binds you. Offer whatever you do. In this way you will be safe of the disappointment that comes with a bad result and safe of the ego of having achieved a good result.
Source
Children

Every child is same and when you have this wish to give love to children, you should share your love with every child, no matter if it is yours or the child of someone else.
Source
Relationship

In a relationship you have to dissolve your ego without any expectations to the other one. If you don’t want to dissolve your ego, why do you want a relationship?
Source
Scriptures

Scriptures were written by normal men. It was their experience but your experience can be very different. With time everything changes. If your experience is different than from what the Bible or the Gita tells you, why don’t you believe in yourself? Why don’t you trust your experience?

Belief

Don’t sell something you don’t believe in just to make business. Don't become dishonest with your belief.
Source
Superstition

A lot of doctors close their practices on Thursday due to superstition! People and doctors both think a doctor's visit on a Thursday means another doctor's visit later! They study, they learned a lot of science and they know about the body, its diseases and cures – but that does not keep them from believing that Thursdays are bad days!

Negativity

If you seek holes in everything and want to see the negative side, you will be affected more and more by negativity.
Source
Happiness

If a player only enjoyed playing if he won the match, he would not be very happy in his profession. Don’t let your mind stop you from enjoying as much you can!
Source
Enlightenment

Maybe this time, which we are experiencing now, will later be called ‘Digital Bhakti Kal’, a time of devotion through digital media. Applications and programs will be interactive scriptures that judge your spiritual progress. There will be an option to pay some money and get access to higher levels and ranks straight away. It will be expensive but those who have the money can get online enlightenment from one second to the other simply via credit card.

Ego

If you made a mistake, don't follow your ego. Accept the truth, even though you were wrong. Don't live for your ego.
Source
Sex

Why is a woman’s virginity or her sexual purity called her honour?
Source
Love

You can never be satisfied with material because there is no limit. There is also no end to love or God. When you are in love you want to feel it more and more. You want to feel God more and more deep.
