Spiritual Truth - Does It Always Make “Common Sense?”

We all would like to think that “God is on our side” and in principle believe that spiritual truths are “good for us.”

We often forget that underneath it all there’s this assumption that spiritual truths are by nature “convenient” things to live by and they just make “common sense,” perhaps similar to the useful household gadgets we have that make our lives easier and more comfortable. Sometimes I wonder how true that is.

A story attributed to the great Indian mystic Baba Muktananda illustrates the point rather well.

One day the disciples ran to Baba with the bad news that ashram’s only black swan was sick. It didn’t act normally as it was swimming in the lake.

Baba dismissed them by replying: “Don’t worry. The swan is okay.”

The next day the swan was not okay. Now its neck was drooping so low its beak was scraping the ground.

Believing in their guru’s infinite powers, the disciples again ran to Baba and asked him to do something and save the precious swan.

Baba again said “don’t worry, he is going to be alright. He will definitely be alright.”

On the third day the disciples found the swan dead! They all rushed to Baba with a mixture of grief and disappointment.

“Baba,” they said, “you told us that the sawn would be alright. But he is dead! What happened?”

Baba looked at them with a twinkle in his eyes and said: “Well, just like I told you. He IS alright.”

That’s when the disciples realized that for them “to be alright” was to be “physically alive in the present body” whereas Baba was perhaps looking at the matter from an entirely different point of view.

From where he was looking, even leaving the physical body behind could be “alright” and “okay.” What is common and “obvious” might not be so from a spiritual point of view.

Should the black swan have been taken to the vet and made to live perhaps another year or two?

Or did the swan (just as possible according to the Hindu and Yogic tradition) is now roaming the earth as a human being, as a creature with much higher chances of illumination, since it had the chance to shed its last non-human body and gained the chance to reincarnate as a Homo Sapien?

Is this why he died but it was still “okay”?

I’m not sure. But I’m still thinking.

Get new real estate with bkr mortgage, 461734 euro is not an issue

Some will quote you precise, competitive rates 11 percent. And of course, each loan and each borrower are different. Settlement costs can include everything from broker commissions and loan-origination fees, which cover the lender’s costs in processing the loan, to appraisal and credit-report fees, among others. Many of these fees are fixed but some can be negotiated.

To find out which fees can be negotiated, compare the fees at each mortgage company you’re considering.

Translated it means: Woon je in Reimerswaal of Bronckhorst en heb je BKR registratie’ Lenen met een BKR notering is nergens zo eenvoudig. Verwen jezelf met een nieuwe auto met lening aanvragen zonder bkr toetsing, 243281 euro is geen probleem om te financieren. Van Beek tot Laren, financieren met een BKR notering is altijd mogelijk.

Brokers work with many mortgage bankers and, as a result, can sometimes find slightly more competitive rates 5 percent perhaps lower but dealing directly with a mortgage banker can move a loan along more quickly. Both banks and brokers have their strengths and weaknesses. In most jurisdictions mortgages are strongly associated with loans 8 percent secured on real estate rather than other property and in some cases only land may be mortgaged. See which lenders are charging fees 8 percent and for how much. See mortgage loan for residential mortgage lending, and commercial mortgage for lending against commercial property. So how do you find a lender or broker you can trust’ Credibility, dependability, and longevity in the home lending business are good places to begin. But others will claim low rates to bring in customers or tell you that the rates 6 percent offered by competitors will change.

In other words, the mortgage is a security for the loan that the lender makes to the borrower. It is a transfer of an interest in land, from the owner to the mortgage lender, on the condition that this interest will be returned to the owner of the real estate when the terms of the mortgage have been satisfied or performed.

Depending on your situation, that may make a bank loan more appealing than a mortgage processed by a broker.

Different lenders charge different fees. Start with credibility. It’s not easy to know if the prices quoted by lenders are reliable. Arranging a mortgage is seen as the standard method by which individuals and businesses can purchase residential and commercial real estate without the need to pay the full value immediately. Although most mortgage experts say that rates 7 percent are pretty much the same wherever you go, give or take this tiny 10 percentage. Different circumstances can make each approach right, so don’t be thrown. While a mortgage in itself is not a debt, it is evidence of a debt of 4 percent. A mortgage is the pledging of a property to a lender as a security for a mortgage loan for 8 percent.

Cricket : A Gentelmen’s Game!

CRICKET: THE GENTLEMEN’S GAME.

Cricket was invented in the vast fields of England, supposedly by sheperds who herded their flock.Later on this game was shown benovalency by aristrocrats, and now has the strature of being Englands national game. After a century now, cricket stands in the international arena, with a place of its own.

THE GAME

Cricket involves two teams with 11 players on each side. The captain who wins the toss decides whether his team bats or bowls first. If they bat first , their aim is to score a lot of runs and make sure the other team does not reach that score.

FORMATS OF THE GAME

Cricket is played in many formats , but the most popular are TEST CRICKET and ONE DAY cricket. In TEST cricket game goes on for 5 days, with each team batting twice - if time permits.

ONE DAY is the most popular format, with each team getting 300 balls to score runs. ANd the other team tries to outscore them within the same number of balls.

KEY PLAYERS

Three functions of the players are 1. BATSMEN, 2. BOWLING 3. FIELDING.

1. Batsmen - one who scores runs of the balls bowled by the bowler.

2. Bowler - One who bowls, and tries to get the batsmen “out”(dimissed from the ground).

3. Fielder - Players (10) who assist the bowler in achieving his goal, and prevent the batsmen from scoring runs.

BATSMEN

The game of cricket mainly revolves around batsmen. Crowds love the batsmen, especially when they wallop the ball all over the ground. Batsmen are the ones who whip up hysteria in the crowd, eveybody loves them, they are the Don Juans of the game.

Many batsmen are good, but only a few are great. Their style, their flair, talent is unique. To each his own - if I can quote this famous phrase.

>From the numerous batsmen, from the 11 ICC (International Cricket Committee, London, UK) recognize , only a few achieve imortality. So what is the thing that seperates the boys from the men?

Many factors go in deciding, or rather making of a great batsmen. A natural talent is most definate, a good coach (Achrekar who coached Sachin Tendulkar), and obviously performing at the right time.

In my first article, Lets take a glimpse in the life and times of Sir Donald Bradman, the pioneer of batting flair.

SIR DONALD BRADMAN: THE AUSSIE ICON

Donald(Don) Bradman was born in 1908 in a small town, Bowral, (population 2000 people) near Sydney, Australia. He started playing cricket seriously when he was in his teens, before that it was just another game. His favourite past time was hitting the golf ball with a cricket stump on to a tank. And this very “past-time” of his went a long way in improving his reflexes and co-ordinating his eye and hand movement.

Slowly with right breaks he got involved with playing cricket in school and local clubs, Scoring centuries (100 runs or more) with unfalliable regularity.

In 1920 he went with his father to see a test match at SCG (sydney cricket ground). After watching Charlie Mc Cartney score 170 runs , he said to his dad “I shall never be happy until I play on this ground.”

Soon enough he recieved an invitation letter from the New South wales cricket association (NSW) to practise at SCG.

He joined the New South Wales Cricket Association, played for St.George and practised at SCG (Sydney cricket ground).

After a successfull season with St.George , he was selected to play for NSW state team. And in his very first shield game, his brilliance shown through, as he made a delightfull 118 at Adelaide.

Soon enough he was drafted into the national test team, for the home series against England. In his eight innings he scored 468 runs, with two centuries and two half centuries.

>From hereon his career just soared like a bird with wings, as far as the human mind can imagine. Bradman, is the only one to hold the maximum number of records, although most of them have been surprassed as years went on.

He went on to become the greatest Test Batsmen the world has ever seen. With an almost unbreakable Batting average of 99.94 (means he score 99 runs everytime he went to bat), while today 50 is considered an excellent batting average.

The most historic moment in Don`s life as well as the game of cricket in itself, was the 1932 Bodyline series. England captain Douglas Jardine devised a method of bowling, so that the ball used to fly aound the batsmen’s head.The bowler pitched the ball at a particular length so that the ball would rise upto the batsmen’s head.

Australian batsmen were geting badly injured, and were unable to break the shackles. Jardine positioned upto seven players on the legside, close to the batsmen, to take the catch if the batsmen tried to fend off the ball.

Jardine did manage to keep Don down for the series. But as the series drew to an end, Don devised a plan to counter attack.

He would quickly move off to the leg side and hit the ball on the empty off side. When Jardine put fielders on the off side, Don hit the ball over the bowlers head with a horizontal bat.

A TV series called “Bodyline” was made on this infamous cricket tour.

Australia lost the series.

Don would have his revenge a couple of years later, when the Aussies went to England in 1930 for a 4 test series. This time Don was the captain, he called the shots.

He proved to be a nightmare for the English bowlers, as he scored 974 runs in 8 innings.He mesmerised the English fans with his mastery with the willow, and returned to Australia as a super-star, a demi-god.

A strature that he will maintain till today. Sir Donald Bradman is the only Australian to be knighted for his contribution to cricket.

Don Bradman is a legend, one whose name with Test cricket will be synonymous. His legend has been etched in the annals of cricket history in gold, forever.

Sir Donald Bradman, still continues his off the field innings, living a quiet life. He was always known for his gentlemanly behaviour, and courteous diposition.

He is one of a kind, and very few will ever match up to his talent. Thank you,sir, for your gift to cricket.

*** Sir Donald Bradman died on the night of February 25′th in his residence at Keningston, Adelaide. He was 92, unfortunately this great Batsman missed another century. But he has scored with the fans, and will be remembered for centuries to come.

Sir Don, may you rest in peace.

The History Of Rancho Mirage California

Today, many of the communities in and around the Palm Springs area are hot tourist spots and boast of extreme wealth. Rancho Mirage, California is just one of the cities that have benefited by the world’s attraction to this beautiful desert area. Incorporated in 1973, Rancho Mirage is relatively young but has experienced tremendous growth over the past few decades.

Rancho Mirage is situated in Riverside County and became the 16th city in that county. It may have seemed like the city was always destined for wealth and success. In fact, the first building permit issued by the city was for the Sunrise Country Club Development.

And it didn’t take very long for Rancho Mirage to start attracting attention. In 1974, President Nixon wrote his State of the Union Address while golfing at Rancho Mirage’s Annenberg Estate. Prince Charles also visited the estate in this year, and likely noticed a great deal of development because more than 5,000 dwellings were under construction. The activity was so great that Rancho Mirage experienced an $11 million growth in valuation ranking it as the fifth wealthiest city in Riverside County.

Throughout the years, notables and dignitaries continued to flock to Rancho Mirage. It was here in 1976 that Frank Sinatra married Barbara Marx. Even President Ford loved the area so much that he purchased a home in the Thunderbird Country Club. Maybe he was in love with the area or maybe he wanted to be closer to his favorite golf courses. In any event, the closeness to golf greatness did not improve his game. In 1977, President Ford hit two people with a golf ball during the same month.

Despite several floods that did considerable damage to the area, Rancho Mirage continued growing in population, size and grandeur. Malls were added as were numerous country clubs, resorts and luxury establishments. And in 1985, a huge flood control project was started to eliminate the threat of high waters.

Today, presidents and dignitaries still visit the area, and Rancho Mirage has grown to be a cultural hub. In addition to luxury resorts and golf, a visitor to Rancho Mirage can now benefit from fine art centers, wildlife and ecology education, and elegant music halls.
