DEGREES - POSITIVE - COMPARATIVE - SUPERLATIVE 

FROM SAMPATH’S DESK:







 DEGREES - POSITIVE  - COMPARATIVE - SUPERLATIVE

 

1. How will you become the GREATEST unless and until you make the GREAT, the GREATER, at the first instance?

 

2. What BIGGEST responsibility will you shoulder if you, at first, don’t prove your mettle by upgrading your BIG capability into BIGGER?

 

3. How will you grow into the TALLEST Good Samaritan without first walking your TALL talk and achieving TALLER heights in the service of humanity?

 

4. Acquire WIDE worldly knowledge and current affairs, make it WIDER before aspiring for the WIDEST.

 

5. Speaking KIND words is GOOD. Doing KINDER deeds is BETTER.  Showing utmost sympathy and empathy toward others is the KINDEST of all, which is the BEST.

 

6. Growing OLD is natural.  OLDER people are supposed to be holders of more knowledge and wisdom. It is a bliss to be one of the OLDEST; for not many are blessed with this boon.

 

7. Live a SIMPLE life; the SIMPLER you are, your living will be easy and satisfying, the SIMPLEST example being LORD BUDDHA.

 

8. Making others HAPPY will make you HAPPIER; you can create many such HAPPIEST moments in life.

 

9. It's ideal to be NOBLE; what other NOBLER thing can be there other than being selfless? The NOBLEST trait is to fully shed the ego.

 

10. Being CLOSER to your dear friend's heart despite the staggering geographical dividing distances, is holier than just being personally CLOSE. Of course, the CLOSEST hearts always create win-win.

However, he was brought up by his father himself at home giving him core divine knowledge and wisdom. Swamigal learned Tamil literature, grammar, and music, especially playing Veena. At age 8 itself, he had to his credit many poems in ‘Venba’ style. By age 12, he learned by heart at least 10000 hymns, mostly devotional numbers.   During my boyhood days in Triplicane, I used to go to his divine and spiritual discourses. Tamil language and devotional hymns...

FEATHERS OF POSITIVE PHILOSOPHY!

Image
From Sampath’s Desk :     FEATHERS OF POSITIVE PHILOSOPHY!     The concept of ‘philosophy’ used here is about the empirical aspects of life such as - how to find joy and happiness generally and to keep ourselves cool and unperturbed, clothed with feathers of positive philosophy in the face of ordeals and distress. Again, on the one side, it is about feeling self-joy, and on the other, a solace-seeking exercise during trials and tribulations. Some tips have been attempted here.   If you happen to be rich in wealth and affluent, think that God has given you the extra wealth and money for helping others. The best way to find joy and happiness is to make others happy by charity without expecting anything in return much less gratitude. It is only the possessor of wealth who should be actually grateful to God for providing him/her the opportunity to help the needy. It is of course easier said than done, but the real joy lies in giving and in going to the succo...
