Out of thoughts, into the fond fatherly ethos

In contrast, animals and plants are more tolerant. Affinity with Nature and […]
अपना भविष्य आप स्वयं बनाते हैं
आने वाला वक्त कैसा गुजरेगा, यह जिज्ञासा स्वाभाविक है। किंतु इतनी बेचैनी ठीक नहीं कि एक-दर-एक ज्योतिषियों, मंदिर-मस्जिदों, गुरुओं-फकीरों के चक्कर लगने शुरू हो जाएं। ऐसे तो आप भटकते ही रहेंगे। अपने भीतर झांकें। परम शक्ति का अंश होने के नाते आप में अथाह सामर्थ्य है जिसके बूते आप सुंदर भविष्य स्वयं निर्मित कर सकते […]
