Hi All,

I am a person who never has any ulterior motives while helping others. I
have helped lot of people throught my life. They were transformed from None
to something in their thought process. They have reached to some extent of
thinking which is helpful for their day-to-day works. The people whom I have
transformed into this state started questioning me and never care or even
have the thankfulness in their mind. On couple of instances when I have
needed some basic help, these people started telling stories rather thought
how they can help me back. I normally look for help at the convience of the
people I ask, rather than ask them at my convienence.
After encountering couple of instances like these, somehow I have started
developing to stop any kind of "out of the way help" which I have been doing
so far and now. So could any one suggest me how do I need to handle these
kind of situations.
I have not done any help expecting a help from others in the future. But
when I needed a help and it is a dire need, if these guys don't come in
handy, I feel upset. So please let me where I need to tweek my thought
process.

Thanks

Satya

 Guide to spirituality

 DIVINE SOVEREIGNTY AND OUR FREEDOM: Neduntheru S.
 Kannan; Srinivasa Educational and Social Trust, D-2,
 Adyar Apartments, 4th Main Road, Kottur Gardens,
 Chennai-600085. Rs. 100.

 PHILOSOPHY IS speculation of the whole Reality by a
 critical examination of facts and prevalent doctrines.
 Western philosophy is an intellectual avocation. But
 Indian philosophy, especially Vedanta, is God-centered
 and encompasses ethics, do's and don'ts and faith.

 The ontology of Brahman (or God) is also very
 important. Vyasa's Brahmasutra (II.3.4), asserts that
 human effort is dependent on the Para (God). An
 interesting question arises; "Has man got a free will
 to act or is he merely dependent on the sovereign
 influence of God? What decides human action?"

 Ramanuja's school has devised a self-consistent model
 in this area of thought. The soul is eternal; it has
 rebirth; its action is influenced by past Karmas. As
 such, God is said to have a three-phase role. First He
 is indifferent, then He permits and finally He
 induces.

 Practical illustrations are cited; quite a few are
 included in the book under review. Thus an individual
 is prompted by the impact of his own previous actions,
 which are similar to the waves in a sea. As you sow,
 so you reap.

 Conscience is God's presence in man. Man knows - and
 ought to know - what is right. If he persists in
 wrong-doing, God then lets him do and go down in sin
 and suffer. Not that God is unkindly; nor can He be
 partial. If one is good and does good, he will go up
 and God helps.

 In this manner, man has free will, but he will rise or
 fall, as he deserves. He cannot merely put the blame
 on God. The author has marshalled facts and
 philosophical concepts to serve as a moral guidebook.

 His vast equipment in religious literature has helped
 him produce a nice guide that is instructive,
 informative and elevating. Spiritual seekers will
 stand to benefit from this excellent paperback.


 V. N. VEDANTA DESIKAN

Dear Friends:

    Greetings. Please find a presentation of mine archived at the following

Acoustics in Hindu civilization. The paper was presented at the Acoustical
Society of America meeting in New York recently. The meeting was also its
75th anniversay. Please visit the URL at your leisure. The paper was well
received. I thought this paper will be of interest to you.
