audrey, jyotsna,
Do not pray for easy lives.
Pray to be stronger..
Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers.
Pray for power equal to your tasks.
Then the doing of your work shall be no miracle.
But you shall be a miracle.
Every day you shall wonder at yourself,
at the richness of life which has come to you
by the grace of God.
Not in doing what you like
but in liking what you do
is the secret of happiness.
James . M. Barrie
If education takes us
beyond classrooms and books,
libraries and laboratories
through the corridors and archways of life
the way it best be lived,
then and only then
will it have imparted to us
its most precious gift.

Principles and values we stand for and live by
cannot be accessed from books
or downloaded off the net
in a “cut and paste” processing.
They are subtly and deeply
absorbed by us from the lives
of parents, teachers and exemplary people
that God, in His goodness,
places all around us.

Our lives mirror
the grace and beauty and goodness
of people in whose company
we have grown up.

Everyone who meets you,
even if it be your enemy,
should leave your presence
more peaceful for having met you.

Being a winner
is more about
running your fastest
than about
coming first in the race.

Children have an amazing
and sometimes disturbing way
of teaching parents and grown ups
not to take anything for granted…

Do not let a passing butterfly
take you away from
the flower you are meditating on…

Weather is a great
metaphor for life –
sometimes it’s good,
sometimes it’s bad, and
there’s nothing much
you can do about it but
carry an umbrella.
