Beautiful Message from my Sir!!

It was long time that I had contacted my Engineering Professors!! They were the one who taught us to make our living!! Indeed, my living didn't had a spare time to remember them. Shame on me!! Shame on my living!!

I quit my living and rehearse again on learning to live. So, then I realised the time which was spare, plenty and moving. Time for me to share my updates with them either good or bad. Especially the ones when I had no spare time for them.

I started to collect each and every pin point details and briefed them out in emails so that they are readable and small. Finally, I was happy that my concise email wouldn't be ignored by my professor. Also, I was expecting that my email would be most welcomed and all my mistakes would be excused.

"Man proposes and god disposes". Things usually don't happen as thought!! It was very delightful to see an unread email from my professor. I flagged it as a STARRED mail and continued to open it. Mail begin with thanks, and his acknowledge in thoroughly reading my mail. Then comes the bullet ones. I was struck at these in particular.
"Silent dignity", with "Shameless courage", and "Patient heroism"

At once felt these as simple words when read it as Silent,Dignity, Shameless, Courage, Patient, Heroism (Of course, very simple when split and read!!)
But on the other hand as it was sent by my most admirable Professor, so it cannot be as simple as I had understood!! I dig up on "Silent dignity" but couldn't relate anything to this and jumped onto next phrase "Shameless courage"; again wondered was it really simple?? Then the last phrase "Patient heroism". Bowled out!! I accept my defeat!!

Without hesitation have to depend on google. Search list with Silent,Dignity, Shameless, Courage, Patient, Heroism ended up in About 872,000 results (0.19 seconds). Too many results though.
Search list with "Silent dignity", with "Shameless courage", and "Patient heroism" had only 3 results (0.08 seconds).

Amazing, learning process never ends and learning must be followed by implementation!!

From the first result, I extract the below information. I am preserving this for rest of my life :-)

Prarabdha coming to us might be something which is not looked upon highly by society. While going through it we should not complain, not grumble, not argue but accept it silently. At the same time we should not lose our self esteem and hope. We should not remain in the negativity of continuous self condemnation, but our mind should be kept in the 'dignified knowledge' that "This is result of my past actions which I did in ignorance. I need to go through this. My current righteous actions are shaping my glorious and bright future."


Prarabdha might make us go through some situation that we are ashamed of. However, by taking full responsibility for our past actions we should suffer the consequences shamelessly. There might be a tendecy in our mind to dodge it or avoid it by turning to untruthful means. We should avoid taking such short cuts, hiding behind lies. We should face it and come out clean courageously and become an example for the world how to live life.

Prarabdha at times seems 'never ending'. At such times we start doubting our knowledge, our positive virtues and goodness in general. We should have 'patience' while going through it. Suppose if a person is blind folded and taken on a rough journey which is to last for 9 days after which he will be given a kingdom of heaven. He is kept in dark regarding length of journey and what awaits in future. Imagine now if he suffers through that journey for 8 days and then loses his patience, rebels and turns back. We don't know how long some suffering will last but we do know luckily that 'nothing lasts' and 'prarabdha goes away by exhausting'. If we react then we will create kriyamana which will make us suffer in future so we need to have heroism and patience while suffering.

- "I am Brahman" is not a slogan to prattle about, not a vanity to be screamed in the world; it is not a creed accepted but an attitude natural, ever echoing through all his performances in the world.

If somebody wants to be wealthy and they earn little bit of money then they will immediately try to 'show off' their wealth. However, a son of multi-billionaire tycoon doesn't feel any particular need to display his wealth. Everything he wears, uses will be rich and classy. Sant Gajanan Maharaj of Shegaon has said - those(seekers) who have started walking the path of liberation but have not reached that goal will have arguments and insistence on their way of seeking. However, upon reaching they all become Saints and there doesn't remain an iota of difference between them. They become One. One who is established in Brahman will display "fullness" and "joy" in all his actions naturally.
