I wonder sometimes, how difficult it is to what we want to become and what we actually do.... following simple principles can make our life very happy and beautiful but still we, including me, do actions to regert later... why?
i publish my varied thoughts under this blog... hoping to remind myself how, why, etc... hopefully, i will add value to this earth before departing...

I can't agree more with you here.. its almost an inner battle daily to try to do, say and think what a righteous person should..
its easy to appreciate this great poem, but a steep uphill task to follow it ..
Who knows where to download XRumer 5.0 Palladium?
Help, please. All recommend this program to effectively advertise on the Internet, this is the best program!
You can put all of this into practice. Complement it with some Ram Naam everyday. It will come naturally to you after a certain stage. You might want to read The Story of My Experiments with the Truth (Saach nu Parakh) by M K Gandhi - specific chapter to read is "Nirbal Ke Bal Ram."
thanks for the reminder... i needed this wake up call. - @bhi
