Heart Beats

                                                                  Sunday Special

 Once in a place named Junagad, there was a deep well that anyone would faint by looking down. A father and son were there. The father for fun picked up the son, held his legs and put him upside down. The son was still smiling. The surprised father asked," Are you not scared of the depth?". The son replied," It is important who is holding me. My legs are in your hands. I am secure in your hands so where is the reason to be scared?"

Similarly in our life is there any such person with whom we feel secure and happy? Is there at least one such address of a person whom we would trust and surrender completely?

"We can spend our entire life with just one good person but sometimes it takes an entire life to find just one good person"

There can many Mind address as we can give our mind to anyone but there can be only one heart address. Have we ever tried to find such an address? Where our purity is safe, happiness is guaranteed and love grows, we can understand for sure that it is the right heart address. Even if one of these conditions do not match then we are at the wrong place! 

There are three things:
I CAN, I MUST and I WILL find the right heart address. To find the right address, we have to first disappoint our mind,
Where the conscious says NO, the mind wins and where the conscious says YES, the mind loses. 
The right heart address can be found under the following conditions:

HEART :
H - Help
E  - Encourage
A - Attach
R - Respect
T  -Train

1. The one who Helps:
From the time we are born did we ever think of the number of people who have helped us to reach where we are today? We are so weak that we could not have done it alone without anyone's help. We have taken a lot of favors but have done very little. During a fire, if a fire brigade does not help we would be burnt to death. How many people have we helped. We always believe that it is others duty to help us, however have we ever thanked them for their favors? We can always give our heart to the one who helps us.

"There is no single rich man in this world whose life can go on without anyone's help, and there is no single poor man in this world who cannot help others"

2. The one who Encourages:
In life when we were in a critical position, when we were disappointed and felt like committing suicide, the one encouraged us and gave us hope is again a right heart address. When a kid writes on a slate for the first time, his mother makes him sit on her lap, holds his hand and makes him write. She feels proud about it and gives the credit to her son for writing. She encourages her son to write. People who encourage us are definitely the right heart address. Do we remember such people who have encouraged us when we were depressed. A depressed man should never be left alone. At some point in our life, we would have definitely felt like committing suicide, but by God's grace we had not taken any action. In 24 hours, how many times do we say thank you and felt gratitude?

3. The one who has attached us to the Right Place and Person:
The person who has always attached us to the right place, person, books etc is again the right heart address. We have to thank such people who have done favors on us. We will see once we start giving our heart to others, we would make such good relations with everyone. We have to at least talk with our family that without their help, we would have been nothing. Often, a person who speaks a lot outside is silent at home. Lets learn to express our gratitude for others, 

4. The one who gives us Respect:
We can always give our heart to the one who respects us. We always wait for others to give us respect. Our ego often comes in between. Why does ego come while saying thank you. Remember, if we don't get along well with the gardener, don't become enemies with the garden! The one who leaves the garden is the one in for trouble. 

5. The one who Trains us:
Have we ever thanked those who have trained us, given us good education? We tend to easily forget such people who have trained us - our mother, father, teacher etc. Our lives go on because of the support from so many other lives. If we leave them, our life will get disturbed!

                                 "We don't live, others in this world keep us alive"
