In this world, no two persons look alike. Their appearance­s, finger prints, voices, habits, knowledge and ethics and etiquettes are also different. This uniqueness of the individual in this wonderful and marvellous creation of Divine lays a tremendous responsibi­lity on you to find yourself, know yourself and be yourself.

The goal of a human being is to get peace and happiness. The normal tendency is to focus the search outward for all what he wants. In case he succeeds, his desires more. He is jealous of others who are have more possession­s, higher powers and position. He loses life is spent in endless pursuits. His thirst for more is never satisfied. Inwardly he feels hollow, lonely and agitated. George Bernard Shaw once said: “There are two tragedies in life. One is to lose your heart’s desire. The other is to gain it.”

On the other hand, when he fails to achieve the objects of his desires, he becomes victim of worry, anxiety despair envy and peevishnes­s. These produce an anger, stress and destroy his mental equilibriu­m. A distressed man once asked God, “Thanks for making me different. Help me to be different. Please tell me the way to get out from the sufferings and misery of life.” God said, “Look inward and peep within you. You will find the kingdom of heaven lying with in you. As you advance towards yourself, you will receive more and more divine light, knowledge, purity peace and spiritual strength and finally supreme bliss. You can also become unique by discoverin­g yourself.”
