 A journey to higher self.

 
A monkey, which leaves the tree and swims in a lake, is inferior to fish. A racehorse kept in a beautiful and posh apartment, is inferior to a rat. A good swordsman given a plough to cultivate a piece of land is inferior to a peasant. In the same way people feel inferior, if they are not awakened to a higher self.

'I am uncomfortable talking to people, I can't mix with people, I feel diffident in getting jobs done from others, I am an introvert. How can you help me?' a lady asked a Guru.

The art of living is about balancing. We have to balance our work, home, and mind. We should balance being outer winners and inner winners.

Reflect on this.

A wood cutter was toiling to earn two meals a day. He met a monk. The monk advised him, 'Drop being at the edge of the forest and go into the forest. Your daily hours of work will fetch you one month's food.'
The wood cutter followed the advice. Deep within the forest, he found sandalwood trees. He was very happy. He expressed his gratitude to the monk for having guided him.
The monk advised again, 'Take the risk of going still deeper into the forest. A day's work will fetch you food for six months. Fortunately, this also turned out to be true; for he found a silver mine. He thanked the monk again, profusely. The monk further advised, 'If you trust me and go further deeper into the forest, a day's work will make you earn enough to fetch you food for a life time.' This also turned out to be true; for he found a gold mine.
The wood cutter wondered, 'why then does the monk still stay at the edge of the forest and not venture into the forest, as he has been advising me?'
He expressed his doubts to the monk. The monk replied, 'If you want to be eternally happy, sit under this tree and I will teach you to go within. Then you will be eternally happy.'

To be outer winner, one has to explore the outside world. To be an inner winner, one has to go within oneself. The kingdom of heaven is within us.
One should balance being an outer and inner winner. Only then would one feel happy.
Understand shyness is another form of ego. Don't support it. Just as you reject poisonous food, reject the ego games of your mind. Then you will see the truth of what is and not illusions

Reflect on this.
A woodpecker was pecking an oak tree. A lightening struck the tree and felled it. The woodpecker flew away and boasted, 'I never know I was so strong; I could make a tree fall.

Drop your ego. You will find people as God's messengers conveying divine messages to you; teaching you through their mistakes and successes.
Most of us are like an oak tree in a flower pot. The flower pot is like the ego and our being is like the oak tree. Do not limit yourself to the ego. Drop your lower self and let your higher self guide you. This is the meaning of yoga; being yoked to higher self.

Dangerous sex Positions For Men

The most common cause of pénile injury is found among the variety of potentially dangerous positions used for séxual intercourse. The most popular is the ‘woman-on-top’. This type of position can result in an impact between the pénis against the female pelvis or perineum that can easily traumatize the pénile cylinders. A pénis becomes érect when the lining of the cylinder within it is engorged with blood.  A pénis fracture can occur when there is trauma to the eréct pénis, resulting in a rupture of the cylinder lining. This very painful injury is often accompanied by an abrupt, distressing cracking noise that is immediately followed by dark bruising of the pénis due to blood escaping the cylinder. In ten to 30% of pénis fractures, the urethra is damaged and blood may be visible at the urinary opening. Given these signs, an injury should be relatively simple to diagnose, right? You would be surprised, even with the unsettling sounds of a fracture occurring, many men...

AWS Battles Rivals: Advertising Campaign

Amazon Web Services has defeated IBM in a competition for lucrative federal contracts, threatened Microsoft's core businesses, and reshaped corporate technology. In the last few months, the pioneering cloud-computing unit of the online retail giant has taken a page from the playbook of some of its more traditional competitors: It started advertising. Ads have been splashed across billboards and in airport terminals, television spots and web videos, featuring a whiteboard full of sketches of software architecture and appeals to invent something using Amazon's collection of rented computing services. The advertising campaign, which bears the "Build On" tagline, represents a milestone in AWS' march from technology upstart to one of the major players in business software, technologists and marketers say. For many years, AWS didn't advertise, partly because it didn't have to. The service held a wide lead over the competition, and word-of-mouth was enough to...

Google Authenticator, a formidable layer of protection to your account.

​Google Authenticator is a free security app that can protect your accounts against password theft. It's easy to set up and can be used in a process called two-factor authentication (2FA) offered on popular social media services like Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.  The app ( iOS / Android ) generates a random code used to verify your identity when you're logging into various services. The code can technically be sent to your phone via text message every time— but the Google Authenticator app provides an extra level of security.  SMS-based 2FA has a  known security flaw , and any devoted hacker can attempt to  socially engineer  an attack against your phone company. The Google Authenticator app eliminates the possibility of an SMS-based attack  using algorithms  to generate the codes on your phone. Here's how to set it up: 1. Download Google Authenticator from either the Apple App Store or the Android Google Play store. It's free. 2. Nex...
