Message to students on practical lines
Puttaparthi, Sai Kulwanth Hall (1996 Special Discourses )
Students!! Students must curb excessive talk and indulge in necessary talk like those pertaining to the subjects. They must restrict themselves to greeting words upon meeting friends. One must not get into relationships that start with a paisa but cannot be got rid of even by spending four thousand rupees later. One must be vary such friendships. Enmity with anybody must be avoided. The maximum time that a student spends at college is for the tenure of the course ie., three to four years. Why develop relationships in such time which is like passing clouds? Students must always strive for good name and to bring joy to parents. It causes immense grief to parents to know that their children have failed. To take four years to pass a course of two years causes financial burden on parents. It brings about wastage of time, money and energy and also causes grief. Everything is wasted. Ultimately life is wasted. Hence students must strive to utilise every second properly. Talking less is confers happiness. One need not be scared of the world. One must develop intense love for God and fear of sin and strive to never commit a sin.
Get good name to all; Convocation message
00:02:00So students, it's a great opportunity. You should consider this as a scared day. Good teachings should enter your heart. You should tread along the right path in life. You should earn a good name. That's the only thing I want from you. Get a good name, Get a good name for your parents, Get a good name for the institute where you studied. Then you will naturally get a good name and reputation. Greatness does not lie in doing bad actions. Even an insect harms, but causing harm is not humanness. You dont need to be afraid of anything. Fear the truth. You are not an animal to have this trait of fear, you are not a wild animal to cause fear . You are a human, therefore I should not be afraid of anything nor should I cause fear in others. When once you recognize this truth and lead your life, you can reform the society. Students, not only you being good, you should encourage your friends to tread along this sacred path and redeem their lives. I fondly hope and bless that you do this and doing so I bring my discourse to a close.
Convocation message to Students
00:02:27Students, at your workplace - offices, factories or industries, whenever you are forced to utter an untruth, without any hesitation, speak the truth. Conduct yourself in a Dharmic way. What is Dharma? The dictates of the conscience is true Dharma and Righteousness. Investigate well. When your conscience says "Yes", follow it. Basing on this, our ancient Vedas say 'Speak Truth and Follow Dharma'. This was what was taught by all gurus in Gurukulas after the completion of their education and before entering the society by way of convocation. Their first instruction was: Speak the truth, Speak endearingly and never speak a truth that is unpleasant. You speak truth. Do not utter a lie. Then alone, your life will shine and blossom. Under no circumstances should you let go of humanness. This is the main teaching in those times. This is the main boon of the preceptor to the disciple. This was the convocation (also called the 'Snatakotsava') during those times. Since then,till this day, the convocation is being observed by all educational institutions.
Students always be in a good company
00:03:27When once students go out of the portals of the educational institutions and enter the society, their behaviour totally changes in the opposite way. So long they are in the institute, they appear like a person of good character. The moment they leave the institution and go out, they get polluted. Hence O Students! wherever you may go, join good company, develop good feelings, perform good actions and live by following good practices. Then only you'll have value as a human being. As is the company you join, so will your mind take form. Tell me your company, I shall tell you what you are. What kind of a person you are can be inferred basing on the company you keep. Therefore, after you go outside, speak good words, perform good activities and lead a good life. Students are all very good, however, because of the defects in the society, your mind is getting polluted. The dust on earth will will rise up if it gets associated with air. To fly, the dust has no wings. When the dust is in the company of water, it goes down. To go down,there are no legs nor to fly above, it has wings. It is only the company or the association that will make it rise up or go down. Students should recognize this truth well and they should safeguard their life very carefully. When once they safeguard themselves ,we have three evidences. There are three evidences of education.One should strive for the welfare of all the worlds. One should be endowed with all types of knowledge and wisdom. One should develop all virtues. When once you develop virtues ,your life will shine brilliantly.
For good actions never waste time: Message to Students
00:00:47"At least you act on the good thought the moment it rises and do good actions without wasting time. Never give chance or scope to bad thoughts and deeds." That is the greatest task of today's youth. The students are the future citizens of the country. Hence students must develop good thoughts, tread the right path and get a good name that they are the ideal citizens of the country.
Message to youth and students
00:01:37Since the occasion is right, Swami speaks about the students in today's world. If a group of five students pass by on the street, their talk is audible even to the people working in the kitchen. They shout and talk so loudly. Are they students or rowdy gangsters? How peacefully and calmly must the students lead their lives? They should never make others restless. He is a true student who does not make others restless. Students should behave in a very respectful manner, should respect the elders, love the parents, respect others and should develop feelings of trust towards the country. That is the nationality feeling. "This is the country I was born in. I must protect my motherland. This is my motherland. This my mother tongue, this is my religion. Is there a man courageous, who on earth who has not stood up for these feelings?" Without the feelings of- "My country, my mother tongue, and my religion" a man is like a living corpse. Those feelings must be there but just as one has the feelings of patriotism for one's country, one look upon another's country too in the same light. All people of different country must live in unity and harmony. It must develop into one big family.
Role of students in moulding the world
00:02:16Students!! Students see and hear about many things in this world. In spite of hearing and seeing so many things if it does not bring about a change it is useless. Students must take charge in moulding the world today for they are future citizens. Students must conduct themselves properly and steer the country in the right direction. Students, both boys and girls, must resolve to cleanse the polluted world today. With the strong conviction that they can do it, the students must forge ahead. Earning is not greatness; providing peace to the country is greatness. Pacifying the restlessness in the country is greatness. The agitation and the restlessness must be curbed and help to restore peace in the country. This is the foremost duty of the students today. But such students are creating horrible scenes. That is not proper. Being students, one must desire for the peace and prosperity of the society and strive to restore it. When students mould themselves into such ideal students, and grow with such ideals, the country will not only be at peace but will also have supreme peace. First the students must be at peace for when there is peace in the family then there will be peace in the streets. When there is peace in streets there will be peace in the village and when there is peace in villages there will be peace in the district. When there is peace in districts there will be peace in the state. There is no peace in the family, then how can one aspire to have peace in the streets? So first and foremost, the brothers, mother and daughter, sisters in the family should live in harmony.
Students should lead ideal lives in society and become ideal: Message to students
00:02:13Dear Students! At this age students must determine to mould themselves into ideal citizens and ideal boys. Students must make the society progress to noble heights. The society of present day is full of confusion. What is the reason behind it? There is a continuous imitation between one person and the other in the society. Imitation is a very grave weakness. "Imitation is human, creation is divine." One must not give any scope to imitation in one's life for imitation is weakness. There is a lot of imitation in the society. Therefore students must become ideal students; should achieve the sense control, must imbibe ideal qualities, reform the society, must cleanse the society of the dirt- this is the task that needs to be done. Students must not struggle for jobs. What is the "udyoga", job of a student? Yoga is the job. Students must step into the field of yoga, spiritual practise and achieve success. What is this yoga? Service is the yoga; service to the society is yoga. There is nothing nobler than service to the society. An ideal service to the society annihilates the ego. Ego ruins man. Therefore in serving the society one naturally loses one's ego.

Son should get a good name to his parents
00:02:21Student must live like a student. Who is a student? Life is like the four-storied building. What are the four levels? "Brahmacharyam", "Gruhastham", "Vaanaprastham" and "Sanyasa" are the four stories of the building. For the building, "Brahmacharyam"- student stage- is the foundation. The other three stories will be strong only when the foundation is strong and stable. But when the foundation itself is feeble and wobbly the building will collapse. In order to lead an ideal life of a householder, one must have a good foundation at the student level. One must get a good name in the home and outside too. Mere distribution of sweets at the time of birth is not rejoicing at the birth of a son Putrotsahama tandriki puturdu janminchagaane puttadu, A putruni kanugoni pogadaga, Putotsahamu naadu ponduvu tandri!! A father rejoices not at the time of birth of a son, When the world recognises the son and praises him That is moment of rejoicing for a father!! When the whole world praises the son for the good qualities, then that is the moment of joy and happiness to the parents. It is the duty of the son to give such happiness and joy to the parents. That is the reason why parents wish for a son. The parents wish for such happiness through their son in their old age. Parents do not wish for a son for the sake of son. In any situation, parents love their son. There might be a wicked son but there will never be wicked parents. Hence students must strive to make one's parents happy by becoming ideal sons.
How a student should conduct himself: Powerful message
00:03:40This age is very sacred; is one of divinity. This is the age that will bear sweet fruits. One must not waste such sacred age. Time must not be wasted in any manner. One must not enter into bad company or do bad actions. Therefore one must strive to attain divinity by developing good behaviour, good thoughts, by keeping good company and by doing good deeds. Parents too would be happy seeing the good behaviour of the students. All parents wish for good name and fame for their children. Students must stand first in class. Today, students get ranks but behaviour wise they are blanks. The rank and the behaviour are totally opposite to each other. This must not be so. Students must get ranks in every aspect. There must not be any crack in that. When will that be possible? Excessive talk is the root cause of all bad qualities. Students must limit their talk to "hello", "how are you?" and "good bye" when meeting friends. They must not indulge in excessive talk. Talking excessively leads to vain gossip. It becomes unnecessary talk which in turn will make one weak. This weakness will not allow the person to perform tasks to his full potential. Therefore, students must talk less, study more and get very high marks. Talking less gives scope for development of sacred thoughts and can indulge in good deeds. Talking too much gives rise to unnecessary gossip and one listens to such gossip. One tends to put into action what one hears. Therefore one must never speak ill of others. "Advestha sarva bhootanam"- one should not hate anyone. Amitha bhaashinchu sooratva adhikamayye Kaaryasoorata karigi ksheeninchi poye, Brathukulu aadambaramulu aaye, Neti vidyarthi brathuku ee patidiaaye!! Excessive talk increases vain chivalry, Skill and ability dwindles and fades away, Life becomes one of pomp and show, Such is the life of the student today!! One should not get a bad name. "Vidayrthi" (student) = "vidyam artha ithi vidyarthi"- the one who seeks knowledge is student. Students must seek knowledge, respect the elders, respect the teachers, and love one's parents. This is the thing that one should learn. "Matru devo bhava"- Mother is God, "Pitru devo bhava" – father is God, "Acharya devo bhava" – teacher is God. Installing such sacred and divine feelings in one's heart alone will make one realise the greatness of one's institution and one's education.
Students should never get into other avagations; They should concentrate on education; Message to students
00:02:50The youth today is gathering all unnecessary things into their minds. The student enters the precincts of the school with an intention to learn but ends up being the one after pleasures. A student must remain as a student and not enter into pleasures for it ruins education. "Vid", "Ya"- "ya" means lustre. That which gives the lustre is called as "Vidya". Student must seek the light of knowledge and nothing else. The modern day student is losing his immense power by indulging in incessant talk. The power that sustains him throughout his life is lost by the student by the time he is eighteen years old. Therefore one must preserve the latent divine energy. One must preserve one's eyesight properly. Today small kids are wearing spectacles and hearing aids. What is the reason behind all this? Is this the effect of the Kali age? It cannot be attributed to the impact of Kali age. One's own weakness is the main cause for the maladies. Without focusing the mind on useful things, man today thinks about the unnecessary things. All this thinking is irrational because of which man is subjected to many troubles and worries. What is the shape of worry? It is mentally created fear only!! There is no reason or form for it. Therefore, students! with courage and valour must develop good qualities, good conduct and become ideal persons. The love latent in the heart must be put in the sacred path. That is divinity.
Messengers of Sathya Sai are rendering Yeoman service to humanity
00:03:44The Messengers of Sathya Sai are doing excellent work. They are helping to build dwellings for the poor in the villages. They also arrange for the marriage of poor villagers, raising the money from among themselves. Many old students of the Women's College (at Anantapur) are living in overseas countries like Germany, U.S.A, Australia and Japan. It is an index of their devotion to Swami that they have come from these distant places for this annual meeting of "the Messengers" at great expense. I asked the President of the Association why the members are wasting money in this way. Why should they not use it for helping some poor people in their places? Every trip costs about a lakh of rupees per person. Her reply was: "Swami! We are not concerned about the expense. We come to Swami to get our spiritual batteries recharged go that we may render, better service Money comes in one way or another: But we have to develop our spirit of sacrifice. It is for this reason that we are coming here. Even the money we earn is not really ours. We are merely agents. We are a kind of trustees for our incomes." This attitude has to be appreciated. People should regard all wealth as coming from God to be used for sacred purposes. No one brings anything with him at birth and carries anything with him at death. All relationships in between are transient. Treat all alike. Even bad people will be transformed if you treat them with love.
Utilize the summer course opportunity
00:02:31During the one month that is to follow, there will be many elders, who have had considerable experience, talking to you about great men and great traditions of this country that have added lustre to our culture. Do not misuse this golden opportunity. You should preserve in your heart all that you hear. They are like gems that you may have to use in future. I hope that, after this one month, you will go out as torchbearers of Indian culture and re-establish faith in it. Those of you who have come to participate in this course are indeed lucky. Do not waste your time, but listen to what you will be taught and put it into practice in your future life.
Sad state of students in society
00:03:43Students must strive to attain strength connected with responsibility. They should also recognise the necessity for becoming aware of the defects in society and in mankind in general. Students must necessarily have three essential qualities—discipline, devotion and duty. It is only when the students have these three qualities, that they will become useful to society. Every student is neglecting these three important qualities. He is behaving in a manner which makes others feel that he is only after getting higher degrees like M.A. or M.Sc. This can also be summed up by saying that he is running after the so-called higher knowledge, not caring for general knowledge. If one does not possess ordinary common sense, however much he may think himself to be educated, he will have to be equated to an illiterate person. If there is no sense of discipline, if one acquires proficiency in English education alone, and if one is not educated in matters relating to the Atma or the self, the only result of such education will be slavery.
Message to students on Sports meet day
00:01:00All your games are not sports and games over a limited period. You should be in this game throughout - in your walking, words, listening, thinking, and actions. There should be perfect harmony in all this. That is the culture of Bharat. The culture of Bharat says 'Speak the truth always and walk along the path of Dharma.' Bhagawan says that we should uphold and maintain the twin principles of Sathya and Dharma and lead an ideal life. So saying and blessing everybody Bhagawan concludes His divine discourse.
Students, do not crave for Rewards
00:00:53Students! Boys and Girls! You have learnt a lot. You have got very high degrees indeed. You too have three to four post-graduate degrees. But these are not that important. Acquire the degree that you are the child of immortality. When you have the title 'Amritasyaputra' or 'child of immortality', it is the right degree. It is sad that we struggle hard for low degrees.
Sports meet message to Students
00:00:37All students have played very well to please Bhagawan. Bhagawan is satisfied and wishes that you too should be satisfied. This spirit of satisfaction should not be limited to sports and games but it should be extended to your areas of talk and other deeds too. You should lead your life in bliss.
Failing in efforts leads to failing in exams
00:02:00Embodiment's of Love! On occasions, you might fail in the class tests or in the examinations but that should not plunge you into depression. Realize that your failure is simply the result of lack of sufficient effort on your part. Tell yourself, "I did not work hard enough. Had I done so, I would certainly have passed. It is all my fault entirely." Own up your mistake, resolve to try again, and be determined to succeed next time. Instead, do not try to cover up your lapses by seeking imaginary excuses; such excuses serve no purpose. Your failure was simply the result of your neglect - that is all. With firm determination, you can achieve anything in life. When difficulties come, do not hide; confront them bravely and squarely. Difficulties are inevitable, and they will come in all shades – personal, financial, academic, professional, and even spiritual. Face them all. Students sometimes start earnestly on meditation but after a while they lose their seriousness. As a result, whatever progress was made initially, gets wiped out. Whose fault is it? Can you blame God? No! You alone are responsible for whatever has befallen you. Instead of facing the impediments to your meditation, you become impatient; once you become impatient, you start having doubts about the utility and the efficacy of meditation; after that your interest starts slackening – all this because of the lack of patience. So, kshama is indispensable.
Students should be far from Vices
00:01:29Today we shall have to promote a situation where there is no attachment, there is no one blame to outside oneself and there are no words which are mixed with the untruth and the goodness of the country. These have to be promoted in our mind. In order to curb the feeling of attraction or blame towards others, teachers of today should make an attempt. We should also teach them the path by which the words that come from their mouth have no untruth. Selfishness, jealousy and ego are the three bad qualities.Teachers should try to make these qualities distant from the boys. These three bad qualities, if they enter the heart of an individual, then there will be no trace of humanity left.
Students should giveup Ego
00:01:23Today's students by promoting in their own mind, inferior thoughts and inferior education, they are unable to blossom out their own human quality in their heart. On the basis of this poor education, they are increasing their ego and pride. It is this ego and pride which simply hides the good qualities that are present in human values. They are unable to recognize, either the welfare of the country or the good of the society. This ego is like a screen in front of the eye, with this screen they are not able to look at their own human values. In order to promote human nature and human values, students have to struggle to any extent and give up and pride

The type of thing I'm thinking of is day trading, spread betting, swing trading and internet based currency trading or currency trading, more commonly known as forex trading or foreign exchange trading.
Do not make it overly tricky. This is especially important when you're in first very beginning. A complicated trading system will merely serve to confuse your own family compound any problems you've probably. Be sure adhere to the easiest and workable methods initially. With time comes experience, use the ability you gain to assist future choices from. Always be pondering ways to succeed as your confidence increased.
Imagine to enjoy a moment which could trade all websites 500 stocks at identical time. In which leverage complication. If forex robot or two stocks did no perform well that afternoon, you would still have 498 other stocks to trade. Won't need to purchase to pick any specific stock. No reason to spend hours and hours doing research on stocks or. Why? Because an individual Trading both them. Of course, it cost a great find to have the means to trade 500 stocks at singular. Well, buying and selling S&P500 emini Futures Contracts is exactly like trading all 500 stocks at once, for a fraction of the.
Actually, successful trading is often a completely different kind of a process. It is not hard to make money by swapping. Moreover, it is not a sting. Novice traders should understand that an individual in the modern world knows what will happen next on economic independence survey markets. Thereby, it is wrong location all the amount of money on a single trade. The outcome of this action would work same as betting on Red or Black across the roulette steering wheel.
Accept sufficient sleep. Are your fears completely misguided? Not necessarily. Some of the friends who may seem supportive of the desire to trade foreign currency Trading at first, may latter begin to mock you if perform not see immediate financial results because of your efforts. Don't let this to dampen your spirit. Instead of running away, accept such challenges as being a normal part of life. Get a forex Trading system that make it easy for you to enter and exit market at the actual time.
They start learning forex in their free time. Before that, they went looking for the best possible mentor so don't waste time learning from an average forex legend. This is a very important tip. Knowledge is the first thing how the trader get to have the ability to trade currencies. Great knowledge from a great mentor is what should be done in order to be successful in forex trading system. This is why it is recommended to learn by a great foreign exchange trading mentor instead of some forex gurus. Is going to also talk relating to this later.
As you embark on a trading career, you uncover that a couple of hundreds of how to turn a buck in this company and can hear about all types of people selling all associated with trading Strategies and trading rules. Completely new traders first reaction might be to ask what the earnings potential is to order particular trading Strategy. Instead, try concentrating on what is usually recommended to positioned the Strategy into action. When the trading rules have risks that don't fit your personality, you would possibly save a little time, and move on to investigate something else. When trading for a Living, really difficult to trade against your characteristics. I have found a core road system to trading that incorporates tight stops with a decent profit potential.

The Importance of Prayer
Despite prayer being so important, it is a sad fact that many Muslims do not pray or fulfil the conditions of the prayer. Its purpose is to put ourselves in touch with God; to strengthen our relationship with Him; to be grateful for all His blessings; and to remind ourselves of His Greatness. Just as the body requires physical needs such as food and water, the soul has spiritual needs. The needs of the soul are provided by acts of worship, the most important of which is prayer. It could be that the body of a person is healthy but the person is spiritually dead.
Allah says,
"O you who believe! Respond to (the call of) Allah and His Messenger when he calls you to that which gives you life." Qur'an 8:24
Its Importance
Direct communication with Allah
"The closest a person is to His Lord is when he is in prostration."
Through prayer, you are able to connect with your Lord. The Arabic word for prayer (As-Salah) is actually derived from the Arabic word meaning "connection." The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "When any one of you stands to pray, he is communicating with his Lord, so let him pay attention to how he speaks to Him." Don't cut this relationship between you and your Creator.
A pillar of Islam
Prayer is the second most important pillar of Islam, and is the most regular compulsory action in a Muslim's life. We fast just one month a year; we must give Zakah once a year; and Hajj is only once a life time. However, prayer is the one act that must be fulfilled at least five times a day, regardless of the circumstance . In fact, Allah did not even exempt the Muslims from praying during the battle! He says:
"Guard strictly your (habit of) prayers… If you fear (an enemy), pray on foot, or riding." Qur'an 2:238-9
If this is the case in the time of war, then what about in peace?
Success lies in the Prayer
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "The first of his deeds for which a man will be called to account on the Day of Resurrection will be the prayers. If it is found to be perfect, he will be safe and successful. But if it is defective, he will be unfortunate and a loser."
Its Benefits
Shields against evil
Man was created weak and without seeking help from Allah, it will be impossible to refrain from evil.
Allah says:
"Verily, prayer restrains (oneself) from shameful and unjust deeds…" Qur'an 29:45
There is no doubt that the one who stands in front of Allah willingly will be different from the one who doesn't. How can you continue to commit the same sins if you're standing before Allah 5 times a day?
Enriches the soul
Man is forgetful, especially with the our busy lifestyles. Prayer satisfies our spiritual need to be in contact with our Creator. This gives the soul peace and contentment.
Allah says,
"Without doubt, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find satisfaction." Qur'an 13:28
Makes us humble
By realising Allah's greatness and dependence on our Lord, man is humbled and rids us from pride and arrogance. In the prayer, the Muslim puts the highest part of his body and source of intellect, his head, on to the ground and says, "How perfect is my Lord, The Most High."
Humbleness is one of the qualities which Allah has associated with success.
He says,
"Successful indeed are the believers, who are humble in their prayers." Qur'an 23:1-2
Of course this can only be achieved when one understands what one is reciting and concentrates with humility.
Washes away sins
Everyone commits sins, however, Allah has provided, in prayer, a way to wipe out those sins.
Allah says:
"And perform prayer… surely the good deeds remove the evils deeds." Qur'an 11:114
The Messenger gave a beautiful example when he said to his companions: "Consider if one of you had a river by his door in which he bathed five times a day. Would any filth remain on him?" They said, "No." Then the Prophet replied: "Likewise, Allah wipes away sins with the five daily prayers."
Cures our Problems
Man is surrounded by numerous trials and problems. Once we focus on strengthening our relationship with our Lord, He, who is All-Powerful, will fix our worldly problems. Like our scholars say, whoever strengthens their relationship between themselves and Allah, Allah will strengthen their relationship between themselves and the creation.
Allah says,
"Seek help in patience and prayer." Qur'an 2:153
Unites the Muslims
When the prayer is performed in congregation, it cultivates brotherhood, equality and humility between Muslims. The worshippers stand in rows, shoulder to shoulder, without any distinction of race, nationality, colour, wealth, family or status, and all pray together as one body. This act of unity helps demolish all barriers which stand between men.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Prayer in congregation is better than praying alone by twenty-seven degrees."
Abandoning Prayer
"O Mankind, What has deceived you concerning your Lord, the Most Generous?" Qur'an 82:06
You are disobeying your Creator
This is the most serious and obvious consequence. The whole purpose of your existence is to worship Allah, yet you are disobeying your Creator every day.
"Then, there has succeeded them a generation who have given up prayer and have followed their desires. So they will be thrown in Hell. Except those who repent and believe, and work righteousness." Qur'an 19:59-60
"(The people in Hell will be asked:) What has caused you to enter Hell? They will say: We were not of those who used to pray…" Qur'an 74:42-43
You are being ungrateful
Refusing the invitation of your Creator to establish this close relationship with Him is the ultimate ingratitude. Allah created you and gave you everything,
He says,
"It is He who has created you and endowed you with hearing and seeing and hearts, little are you grateful." Qur'an 67:23
The Prophet's feet would sometimes get swollen because he would stand in prayer for lengthy periods, and when asked about this, he would reply: "Should I not be a grateful servant of my Lord?"
You are being lazy
What excuse will you give to your Creator, the Creator of the heavens and the earth, on the Day of Judgement? The One who blessed you with 24 hours, yet only asked that you spend about 30 minutes a day for prayer.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "On the Day of Resurrection the feet of the son of Adam will not move away till he is questioned about five matters: on what he spent his life; in doing what he made his youth pass away; where he acquired his property, and on what he spent it; and what he did regarding what he knew."
You will be miserable
The human that has no connection with Allah helplessly seeks an alternative and leaves no stone unturned looking for calmness and bliss. It, however, searches in vain, wandering aimlessly.
You are only harming yourself
Allah says:
Allah doesn't need your prayer. Allah doesn't need anything from anyone-Glory be to Him. It is you that stands in need of His mercy.
"Give thanks to Allah, and whoever gives thanks, it is only for his own soul's good, and whoever is ungrateful, surely Allah is Free of all needs, Worthy of all praise." Qur'an 31:12
You are flirting with disbelief
Many Scholars of Islam hold the opinion that the one who does not pray is a disbeliever. They quote the following hadeeth:
"The covenant which distinguishes between us and them (i.e., between believers and disbelievers) is the prayer, and whoever neglects it has disbelieved."
Additionally, the companions of the Prophet (peace be upon him) did not consider the abandonment of any act as disbelief, except for prayer.
Common Excuses
No time / Work / Study / Busy: Pure and simple deception. You haven't given prayers priority. Allah will bless your time and make you more effective, efficient and successful.
My heart is clean: Allah judges who has clean hearts, and He wants us to pray! Actions will reflect what is in your heart. No one has a cleaner heart than Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) who used to pray regularly.
My alarm: It's hard for your alarm to go off, if you don't SET it !!! Purify your intention and sleep according to the Sunnah.
My family / spouse / parents / friends prevent me: The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "There is no obedience to anyone in disobedience to Allah." You will be judged alone.
Praying after its time / joining prayers:
"Surely, the prayers are made obligatory for the believers at their prescribed times." Qur'an 4:103
I'm sinning too much: In time, your prayers will prevent you from committing these sins – just pray! You are sinning because you are not praying.
Contemplate over this hadeeth: "If they knew the merits of the 'Isha and Fajr prayers, they would come to them (in the mosque) even if they had to crawl."
What excuse do we honestly have when we face our Lord on that difficult Day?

Sharks, penguins, turtles and other seagoing species could help humans monitor the oceans by transmitting oceanographic information from electronic tags.
Thousands of marine animals are tagged for a variety of research and conservation purposes, but at present the information gathered isn't widely used to track climate change and other shifts in the oceans.
Instead, monitoring is mostly done by research vessels, underwater drones and thousands of floating sensors that drift with the currents. However, large areas of the ocean still remain under-sampled — leaving gaps in our knowledge.
A team led by the University of Exeter says animals carrying sensors can fill many of these gaps through natural behavior such as diving under ice, swimming in shallow water, or moving against currents.
"We want to highlight the massive potential of animal-borne sensors to teach us about the oceans," said lead author Dr. David March, of Center for Ecology and Conservation on Exeter's Penryn Campus in Cornwall.
"This is already happening on a limited scale, but there's scope for much more.
"We looked at 183 species — including tuna, sharks, rays, whales, and flying seabirds — and the areas they are known to inhabit.
"We have processed more than 1.5 million measurements from floating sensors to identify poorly sampled areas (18.6% of the global ocean surface)."
"By comparing this with gaps in current observations by drifting profiling sensors (known as Argo floats) we identified poorly sampled areas where data from animal sensors would help fill gaps," said Professor Brendan Godley, who leads Exeter Marine.
"These include seas near the poles (above 60º latitude) and shallow and coastal areas where Argo profilers are at risk of hitting the land.
"The Caribbean and seas around Indonesia, as well as other semi-enclosed seas, are good examples of places where Argo profilers struggle because of these problems."
Tagged seals in the poles have already complemented ocean observing systems because they can reach areas under ice that are inaccessible to other instruments.
The study suggests data collected by turtles or sharks could also enhance ocean monitoring in other remote and critical areas such as tropical regions, with large influence on global climate variability and weather.
The researchers say their work is a call for further collaboration between ecologists and oceanographers.
Professor Godley added: "It is important to note that animal welfare is paramount and we are only suggesting that animals that are already being tracked for ethically defensible and conservation-relevant ecological research be recruited as oceanographers. We do not advocate for animals being tracked solely for oceanography."

The research team included the Balearic Islands Coastal Observing and Forecasting System (SOCIB), the University of St Andrews, the Mediterranean Institute of Advanced Studies, and the Spanish Institute of Oceanography.

What is a Kennedy Scholarship?
The Kennedy Scholarship is an academic award for study at two of the world's finest universities - Harvard and MIT. It can be used to fund a wide variety of programmes at MIT and across all the graduate schools within Harvard - from PhD to LLM, from MPH to MArch. It can also fund a Special Studentship for those wanting a general programme of non-degree study.
A vibrant and dynamic learning environment
Both Harvard and MIT have exceptional faculty and, in the graduate programmes, attract a diverse and high-calibre student body.
These attractions are not lost on the leading world figures in every field of endeavour who regularly visit. And greater Boston is home to a number of other world-class universities and is a vibrant and dynamic learning environment.
Scholars use the opportunity to deepen their expertise in their field, but also to explore the diversity within their own field and in new fields altogether.
More than an academic prize
But the founders of the Kennedy Trust and its Trustees since have always viewed the Scholarship as more than an academic prize. It is intended to act as a spur to closer trans-Atlantic relations, and few scholars return without travelling across the US and experiencing its wide and varied culture; none return without friendships which last a lifetime.
Enriching their lives more broadly
Kennedy Scholars are also expected to spend their time in the United States enriching their lives more broadly.
Almost all Scholars use the opportunity to learn a language, try a new sport or take advantage of the many other opportunities available in New England - from Boston's restaurants, museums and high culture to the bright lights of New York. From the annual ritual of the leaf 'fall' to the four-year presidential election cycle in nearby New Hampshire, the opportunity is unique.

It is Truth which we must look for in Holy Writ, not cunning of words. All Scripture ought to be read in the spirit in which it was written. We must rather seek for what is profitable in Scripture, than for what ministereth to subtlety in discourse. Therefore we ought to read books which are devotional and simple, as well as those which are deep and difficult. And let not the weight of the writer be a stumbling-block to thee, whether he be of little or much learning, but let the love of the pure Truth draw thee to read. Ask not, who hath said this or that, but look to what he says.
2. Men pass away, but the truth of the Lord endureth for ever. Without respect of persons God speaketh to us in divers manners. Our own curiosity often hindereth us in the reading of holy writings, when we seek to understand and discuss, where we should pass simply on. If thou wouldst profit by thy reading, read humbly, simply, honestly, and not desiring to win a character for learning. Ask freely, and hear in silence the words of holy men; nor be displeased at the hard sayings of older men than thou, for they are not uttered without cause.

President Trump issued aforceful call this week for America's K-12 schools to reopen full time for all children in the fall, suggesting that Democrats want to keep schools closed ahead of the November election and even threatening to cut off federal funding to schools if they don't fully reopen (something he cannot do). In this push, the administration has a powerful ally: the American Academy of Pediatrics.
Last week, the AAP issued a forceful policy statement, echoing the administration's sense of urgency to get children back into brick-and-mortar buildings:
"The AAP strongly advocates that all policy considerations for the coming school year should start with a goal of having students physically present in school. The importance of in-person learning is well-documented, and there is already evidence of the negative impacts on children because of school closures in the spring of 2020. Lengthy time away from school and associated interruption of supportive services often results in social isolation, making it difficult for schools to identify and address important learning deficits as well as child and adolescent physical or sexual abuse, substance use, depression, and suicidal ideation. This, in turn, places children and adolescents at considerable risk of morbidity and, in some cases, mortality. Beyond the educational impact and social impact of school closures, there has been substantial impact on food security and physical activity for children and families."
On Tuesday, the president of the AAP, Dr. Sally Goza, attended a White House roundtable where Trump and other administration officials reiterated their desire for schools to reopen quickly and repeatedly praised the AAP's guidance.
On Wednesday, Goza spoke with Morning Edition host David Greene about that guidance and whether she's concerned that schools may be pressured into reopening too quickly.
Below is that interview, edited for length and clarity.
[In Florida] the virus is spiking: The number of new cases daily has been alarming, as is the case in some other states. Schools are being ordered to open in-person five days a week as early as next month in Florida, so just talk me through what the argument is for a decision like that right now?
So our guidelines reflect what we know right now about COVID-19 and its effects on children, as well as our own expertise and understanding of the benefits of in-person education for children's mental, emotional and physical health. And we reevaluate these guidelines regularly, since the pandemic changes so rapidly.
But our latest guidelines articulate that our main goal is for students to be physically present at school this fall. But we also recognize that COVID-19 remains a very real, active threat to community health. And we really believe that decisions on when and how to reopen need to consider a variety of factors, but a big one is the level of virus in the community.
Well, let me just ask about that — the level of virus in the state of Florida — we saw 7,000 new cases in a single day this week. I mean, would you encourage schools to open today if that decision had to be made based on the numbers you're seeing?
The way the numbers are looking in Florida right now are concerning. The level of the virus is really high. And so a statewide mandate to reopen [schools] without consideration of community spread really goes against our recommendations.
So you think that this was not a good idea for officials in Florida to come out [Tuesday] and say, "You all have to reopen this fall?"
We know that COVID is still a dangerous virus, and it's circulating throughout the country. And there are definitely hot spots, and Florida is one of them. And so all decisions really have to be made with public health and the school officials looking at that as part of their decision-making on whether they can reopen safely.
You were at the White House [Tuesday], and the president came out and made his point of view very clear. If you see numbers in the coming weeks in places like Florida, in places like Texas and elsewhere that do not start going down, would you go back to the president and say to him, you know, that you and your organization believe that he should get back behind the microphone again and say that this is probably not a good idea?
We will be sticking to what our guidelines say — that if it does not look safe in your community to open schools, that we need to really have that looked at. We also need to make sure that schools have the needed resources to reopen safely so that a lack of funding is not a reason to keep students home, which we're hearing in a lot of communities — to do what we're asking people to do to make schools safe is not really financially feasible in some of these communities.
There have been some estimates that school systems need more than $200 billion to reopen safely. Very little, maybe $13 billion, has been made available so far by Congress. So if something dramatic does not happen and more money is not available, you would say that this was not a good idea to reopen across the country?
We know that reopening schools in a way that maximizes safety, learning, the well-being of children, staff and teachers will clearly require new investments in our schools. And we really call on our leaders: Provide the resources necessary to ensure that funding does not stand in the way of safely educating and keeping our children safe.
Some of the thinking around reopening is that the coronavirus does not affect young children as much as others. But children will be going home after school to family members who could be at serious risk. How concerned are you that if schools are open five days a week, that exposures might take place and that family members could really be at risk here?
Pediatricians and educators, we all share the same goal of wanting children to return to school. But we know that it has to be safe, and we know that we have to try to decrease that transmission as much as we can. We do know that children are less likely to get the infection. They're less likely to show symptoms. Children do get the disease. And so we do have to really look at that and be very aware.
You know, there will be some families who, in talking to their pediatricians and talking to the educators, may feel like it's best for their children to have in-home learning. And I think that is an option that all parents should have.

Marriage Meetings for Lasting Love
Marriage isn't what it used to be — which is a good thing! People have evolved and so has marriage. In a successful relationship today, spouses respect each other as individuals and also transcend their separate selves. The result is an amazing whole that is greater than the sum of its parts and nourishes both partners.
I believe in marriage. Some people, disillusioned by high divorce rates and unhappy unions, claim that marriage is obsolete. But now, like never before, you can create the marriage you've always wanted, a fulfilling one that fosters growth and vitality in both of you.
Society has altered radically, resulting in new expectations for marriage. Until recently, women needed husbands for financial support and men needed wives to do the homemaking. And virtually everyone needed marriage for sex and procreation. By and large, all this has changed.
Yet we continue to marry and expect lasting happiness. When disappointed, we tend to blame our spouse or the institution of marriage for not meeting a deeper need — the need to connect with each other emotionally and spiritually as well as physically.
To succeed in marriage, we need to catch up with our new expectations. Too many of us are relating in self-defeating ways, still focusing on physical aspects and ignoring the crucial need for a soul connection. To achieve this ideal, we must address the real issue: a lack of skills for a good twenty-first-century marriage.
Marriage meetings fill the gap. They offer a simple way for you to create an extraordinarily satisfying union that lasts a lifetime. Since 1998, I have been leading Marriage Meeting workshops for couples, making this tool available to professionals, and introducing it to clients in my private psychotherapy practice.
This book offers a practical way to gain a fulfilling marriage. By following its step-by-step instructions, you will increase romance, intimacy, and teamwork. When conflicts arise — and they do in any marriage — you will be able to resolve them more smoothly and respectfully.
If your marriage is already good, marriage meetings will keep it thriving. If you are facing unusual challenges, the meetings can help the two of you get back on track.
A good marriage fosters the growth and well-being of both partners, spiritually, emotionally, and physically. Each partner feels loved, cared for, and respected. Both husband and wife contribute their unique abilities to create a rewarding partnership.
Advice is plentiful. It's easy to pick up good ideas from many sources. The problem is that we soon forget the good advice and relapse into less healthy behavior patterns. The power of habit is simply too strong. The marriage meetings provide a frequent reminder to communicate positively. After you hold the meetings for a while, you will probably find that relating better in general has become second nature.
This book includes all you need to know in order to conduct effective marriage meetings: guidelines, step-by-step instructions, and positive communication techniques. Stories of couples included throughout the book are composite, general illustrative examples that do not represent any specific persons.
Detailed descriptions of couples who have benefited from holding marriage meetings are featured in chapters 10 through 14 and show how applying marriage meeting concepts can enhance all kinds of relationships, whether they are well functioning or particularly challenged. Names and other identifying details have been changed to further protect confidentiality.
I do practice what I preach. My husband and I have been holding marriage meetings for over twenty-four years. I do not know how we would have stayed happy together without them. We reconnect every week by holding a meeting. We do not take each other for granted, because the meetings include a time to express appreciation.
They also provide a platform that encourages us to say what each of us wants, collaborate on activities and projects, and clear up misunderstandings. Because the meetings bring closure, nothing is left hanging. Therefore, we don't hold grudges. Our meetings foster trust, romance, and intimacy.
You can expect to enjoy a ripple effect from marriage meetings. The warm feelings and optimism they generate will spread out to others in your life. You will start using positive communication skills in other relationships.
Like many of my therapy clients, I grew up in a home without role models for a happy marriage. My parents divorced when I was thirteen. In my positions as a child welfare worker, clinical social worker, psychotherapist, and family service agency director, I have always been drawn to activities that brought me into close contact with couples and families. I suppose that, unwittingly, I wanted to learn what I missed out on as a child — how to create a good marriage.
Every marriage has issues. A frequent complaint from couples is that they feel unheard by their partners. Marriage meetings keep them tuned in to each other. This proactive approach keeps small irritations from getting big and inspires each partner to value the other's good qualities.
The marriage meeting has four parts: Appreciation, Chores, Plan for Good Times, and Problems and Challenges. Each part creates momentum for the next one.
The first part, Appreciation, buoys you up for dealing with the next one, Chores, which takes energy at first. But you are likely to feel satisfied after cooperating while deciding who will do which tasks. The third part,
Plan for Good Times, is usually a feel-good one because you plan a date with your spouse and decide on other enjoyable activities during this part of the meeting. The fourth part, Problems and Challenges,makes good use of the positive climate you've created for afruitful conversation about any concern.
Are you ready to create the marriage you've always wanted? Let's get started!
Thank you for reading the above introduction to Marriage Meetings for Lasting Love: 30 Minutes a Week to the Relationship You've Always Wanted. Want to read more? You can get the book at Amazon or Barnes & Noble.

An Italian Easter
Grandma never wrote down a recipe. And my mother only wrote down the recipes she didn't know by heart. (She would just rattle off instructions to you.) Over the years, I have reached back to the foods of my childhood holidays through blogs. Below is a feast of breads, pies and Italian tradition. I hope you visit. And Savor. And cook. Enjoy
Tradition. It's how we reach out to the past and connect and visit. It's how people are remembered with love. On the night before Easter, my mother traditionally made calzones: sausage and cheese calzones, meatballs calzones, ricotta and spinach calzones. Why we dined on rich meats and cheeses tucked away in bread on the night before the all-day feast brings a smile and a shake of the head. Wouldn't be wiser to have salad-shakes all day? Maybe. But that wouldn't be Italian.
I changed things up a bit. So the night before Easter I typically made Pizza Rustica. I lightened it with a lot of spinach and roasted red peppers. But cheese is cheese and Italian cured meats are not for people who live with a skinny barometer. It's rich. It keeps. And slices are served for days. Because one slice is enough. For now.
For those not scared of a rich array of meats and cheeses for a spring meal, find the recipe here.
Pizza Rustica
A gorgeous egg-filled, sausage-stuffed, cheese (tuma) Easter bread comes from Proud Italian Cook. Richness soars to new heights.
Easter Bread
Frank from Memorie di Angelina has a meat-centric gorgeous Neopolitan Easter Pie (more like a meat cake). Find it here:
Neopolitan Easter Pie
I hope you try some of these out and throw caution to the wind during Easter week
And then there is the Neopolitan Wheat Pie.
Heavy cans of cooked wheat. That's my memory of trips to New York. Lugging back cans of cooked wheat.
"Bring back wheat for the pastiera," said my mother. And whoever went to New York did. I used to get them at the old Balducci's (sadly the new Balducci's doesn't carry them.) They were always down under some heavy shelving, piled with dust. And somewhere in the last 2 years, my mother scored some dried grain and kept it in her freezer. I am using the last of the grain for the pie this Easter.
My Midwestern family does not love this. Maybe you need an Italian gene - but my children believe it wouldn't be Easter without it. In fact, when I host Easter, my daughter hides the wheat pie until after our Midwestern loved ones left.
"They don't appreciate it," she declares helping herself to a big slice. Creamy ricotta, wheat (or farro or wheat berries) cooked in sugar and cream, dotted with chocolate chips and sprinkles.... really, what's not to like?
Find my recipe here:
Neopolitan Wheat Pie
Another take on this Easter pie can be found at Ciao Chow Linda's. She also gives a bit of its history and some winning step-by-step instructions. (Plus: she uses mascarpone which really makes this wickedly wonderful.)
Ciao Chow Linda's Neopolitan Wheat Pie
Linda also has a savory braided Easter bread reminiscent of some of my grandmother's breads. And it's a beauty. Centerpiece beautiful. It's here:
Braided Easter Bread
Salami... olives ... cheese ... oh my.
And for those who are not sure about cooked wheat in a sweet pie, Mary from One Perfect Bite has an Easter pie made with rice. Sweet, creamy and spring. It's here:
Easter Pie
A beautiful eggy traditional bread can be found at Claudia's What's Cookin' Italian Style. Permeated with anisette, it's a beautiful start to your Easter. Find it here:
Grandma's Easter Bread
Amid jelly beans and chocolate bunnies, the Easter Bunny brings torrone. Nougat/almond/ hard and then melt-in-your-mouth - it's hard to come by in the Midwest. (Which is why the Easter Bunny brings it.) A luscious rendering of this famous Italian treat can be found on Mister Meatball's blog. It isn't a feast day without torrone.
Mister Meatball's Torrone
The outside is not Easter although we've been treated to gorgeous sunsets. I expect the Easter Bunny to arrive on skis.
But spring is on the table - and occasionally nibbled by Murray.
I'm learning to bake when Luce is asleep. And wondering at the wisdom of dyeing Easter eggs with a kitten who loves liquids. (Tie-dyed kitten paws?)
Who knows? Luce may wind up with his own blog.
Happy Easter! Buona Pasqua!

I am not sure whether I will ever bake one of these recipes but the reading of them brings me pleasure as I try to imagine the unusual flavours.
Once I was given an unusual Lasagne which the lady said was her mothers and hers before. It had tiny meatballs and hard boiled egg slices ...at first I was not sure ...but the flavours were so amazing ...have you ever come across this one. ???? - March 29, 2013 at 4:10 PM

Happy and blessed Easter, Claudia. I make all these things straight from my childhood memories, we never had written recipes (true good cooks don't need ;-)anyway) but not this year. I am invited out and don't need to stuff myself and stuff I would, too. That Italian gene is critical to appreciate the bounty we have. Hugs, xo
- March 29, 2013 at 4:16 PM
- Claudia said...
Yes, I have seen them but never had them in lasagne - but have had that in meatballs. My grandmother and her family would put egg slices into a sort of Italian meatloaf! Eggs are incorporated everywhere for Easter. It only makes sense. I love how Italian holidays have foods with so much symbolism.

Hi Claudia, I've been gone for about 2 weeks…grandchildren duty! No time for blogging! Love this post and your kitty! I make a sweet ricotta pie just about every Easter. I've only made pizza rustica once. Both have been hits in my house. Both of yours look amazing!

Hi Claudia,
I stumbled upon your blog and have enjoyed every minute of it. I am also Italian. I live in a little house on the Colorado prairie. This is a culture shock!
My husband is from out here. I struggle all the time with the lack of Italian culture here. My wonderful husband doesn't get certain things.
Lovely, lovely blog. I will certainly be trying out a lot of these great recipes.
I recently wrote about making a Brooklyn Italian recipe here... http://lauraontheprairie.com/2015/02/whole-cow-spleen-vastedda-recipe/ which you may enjoy, so please stop on by.

'Westworld' Season 2 Will Mess With Reddit to Preserve Spoilers
Westworld fans are champing at the bit to unravel Season 2's mysteries, but showrunners are prepared this time. Co-creator Jonathan Nolan hints that they've developed a "controversial" strategy to avoid Reddit piecing together every twist ahead of schedule.
Nolan and co-creator Lisa Joy suggested as much from the Westworld SXSW panel, joking that "We love to f— with Reddit as much as possible." The first season was famously picked apart by legions of fans, who predicted early on that – spoiler alert – Season 1 took place in two timelines thirty years apart, and that Jimmi Simpson's "William" would be revealed as a younger version of Ed Harris' character. It isn't clear how exactly Nolan and Joy plan to protect Season 2 plotlines, though they acknowledge the problem requires a new strategy (via Polygon):
Part of it stems from other shows. True Detective had a lot of fan theories that proved to be theories. There are lot of theories about Westworld's first season that proved to be plot twists. I think for every fan theory, we actually had an episode that dealt with it.
We're figuring out how to sort of interact with that in the second season. A somewhat controversial plan that we're working on; we'll have an announcement about it in a couple weeks. It's incredibly gratifying to see people put that much work — not just into deciphering the season, but the fan art and music. The creativity you see coming back at you when you're making one of these things is extraordinary.
Some have suggested Westworld might look to Game of Thrones for inspiration, as those with advance knowledge of George R.R. Martin's books often work together to preserve the experience for newcomers. An avalanche of deliberately fake Westworld theories, perhaps?
The game begins anew on April 22, so watch the trailer and stay tuned for the latest on Westworld Season 2.
