Willpower Or SankalapaAs

for determination, one should follow the example of the sparrow who

lost her eggs in the waves of the ocean. A sparrow laid her eggs on the

shore of the ocean, but the big ocean carried away the eggs on its

waves. The sparrow became very upset and asked the ocean to return her

eggs. The ocean did not even consider her appeal. So the sparrow

decided to dry up the ocean. She began to pick out the water in her

small beak, and everyone laughed at her for her impossible

determination. The news of her activity spread, and at last Garuda, the

gigantic bird carrier of Lord Vishnu, heard it. He became compassionate

toward his small sister bird, and so he came to see the sparrow. Garuda

was very pleased by the determination of the small sparrow, and he

promised to help. Thus Garuda at once asked the ocean to return her

eggs lest he himself take up the work of the sparrow.. The ocean was

frightened at this, and returned the eggs. Thus the sparrow became

happy by the grace of Garuda.Similarly,

the practice of yoga, especially bhakti-yoga in Krishna consciousness,

may appear to be a very difficult job. But if anyone follows the

principles with great determination, the Lord will surely help, for God

helps those who help themselves -Swami Prabhupada A strong personal

will or sankalpa is of definite assistance in finding God as love. It

takes will power to feel compassion, love, tenderness, and tolerance

for others when you may think otherwise. When you individually exercise

your will power to consistently express love, you grow spiritually. You

put yourself directly on the universal path of the heart, the path of

love - Premaji “The greater the will, the greater the flow of energy.

Will power actually generates energy in the body and brain. People who

succeed in life, not only have an abundance of energy and enthusiastic

awareness, but dynamic will power as well"- Paramhansa Yogananda Aseem KaisthaIt's your attitude and not your aptitude that determines your altitude.

Hello to all my brothers and sisters. I will be placing a memorial ad in the papers

for my son's birthday.He was murdered 4yrs. ago. I could use some suggestions

as to inspirational quotes that will send a message to the murderer that is still out

there but that will also speak of my deep loss.

You all were the ones that saved me from going crazy. Thank You.
