1 It is not the aptitude but the attitude, which takes us to altitude.
2 Be gentle to all, and stern to yourself.
3. As you sow, so shall you reap.
4. Be positive to live happily.
5. It is a long journey between human being and being human. Let us travel atleast one step daily to cover the distance.
6. Two important things. Be Happy and keep Happy.
7. Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.
8. Smile is a language of Love, Smile is way of Success, Smile wins Hearts, Smile makes every moment worth living! So keep Smiling!
It is such a 'Bhakta' that is dear to Sri Krishna. And most important of all, those Bhaktas are most dear to God who love him with full faith in his supremacy.
May we all be worthy of Gita's Bhakti!
