#FoodForThought A Swamiji was traveling in a flight. When they were on air an airhostess started serving complimentary liquor to everyone. When she came to offer Swamiji, he politely refused. The airhostess said, "We offer this service which is not done in any other airlines, top 
quality drink, please take it Sir."
Again the Swamiji refused. She persisted, "once you taste this drink you will never stop drinking this."
He refused again. The stewardess said, "At least for my repeated request you should taste a sip."

Again the Swamiji refused. She persisted, "once you taste this drink you will never stop drinking this."
He refused again. The stewardess said, "At least for my repeated request you should taste a sip."
The Swamiji said, "I am sorry Amma, a
thinker like me cannot consume this mind altering drink. Why don't you offer my share to the pilot please?"
Immediately she replied, "Oh how can he drink when he is working? He might get inebriated and make some mistake while flying, causing an accident killing us all!"

When Akbar saw a Brahmin begging in a pitiable condition, he sarcastically said towards Birbal - 'Birbal! These are your Brahmins! Who is known as Brahmadeva. They are beggars. Birbal did not say anything at that time. But when Akbar went to the palace, Birbal
came back and asked the Brahmin why he begged. Brahmin said - 'I have no money, jewellery, land and I am not much educated either. Hence, begging is my compulsion for the maintenance of the family.
Birbal asked - How much is received in a day by begging?
The Brahmin replied - Six

Every day early morning a little girl would come to the temple, stand before the deity, close her eyes and with folded hands, murmur something for a couple of minutes. Then open her eyes, bow down, smile and go out running. This was a daily affair.

#FoodForThought There was a woman named Subhadra who lived with her hunter husband in the forest. They did not have children for many years. They offered a lot of prayers and did austere penance and finally they were blessed with a son. They brought him up with so much love and
care. Unfortunately one day a snake stung their son and he was struggling for his life. The wife was distraught and called to her husband. The husband searched for the snake which stung his child, brought it and told his wife that he would slay its head immediately. The wife said
That is not going to bring back our son’s life. But the hunter said, by killing this I can prevent it from stinging others and killing them. The wife said but there are so many other snakes in the forest, what are you going to do about them. As they were arguing the snake said
#FoodForThought a Krishna devotee, a very poor girl went to Dwaraka to see Krishna. She told Him, I just want to do your bidding, nothing else gives me happiness, please tell me what I should do for you. Krishna immediately gave her a heavy old sack and told her you carry this
with me wherever I go. The sack will not be visible to anyone else. The girl did not expect this. She thought He will ask her to do something else. But she did what He told her, though grumbling all the way, as the sack was heavy. Sometimes Krishna helped her carry it when she
was too tired to do so. Then one
fine day Krishna told her, you can now unburden the sack and open and see what is inside. He Himself opened it for her which was filled with gold and diamonds. For being patient all this time, this is my gift to you, He said smilingly. With tears

realisation is that, we can be the best that we can be, when we are not competing with anyone. Some people are insecure because they pay too much attention to what others are, where others are going, wearing and driving, what others are talking. Take whatever we have, the height,
the weight and personality. Accept it and realize, that we are blessed. Stay focused and live a healthy life.

In villages, dogs are raised to guard against thieves in the farm. A dog barks when it sees a thief. Hearing that sound, 100 dogs around start barking. 99 dogs never see a thief. The first to shout
was the dog which saw the thief. Hearing that dog's voice, other dogs also bark because of the belief that the first dog has seen the thief. Similarly, many devotees like our sages, acharyas, saints, ascetics, etc. have seen that Lord. We follow that belief since childhood only
because of this faith. It is certain that we will have a glimpse of that God once. While an ordinary dog trusts another dog, a thinking man can trust the words of a Mahatma – another human being.

#FoodForThought Never compare one’s self with others. X takes 30 minutes to walk a distance of 2kms. Y takes 15 minutes to cross the same distance. Who is fitter? Of course the answer will be Y. But then you say X walked in a rugged unpaved road and Y walked in a paved jogger’s
pathway we will change our answer and say X is better! If we say X is 25years and Y is 50years old, X is 65 kgm and Y is 120 kgm our assessment will keep changing. This is the same with our lives. Each is dealt with a certain set of cards with which each one has to play. Without
the knowledge of who has what capacity and what problems we start comparing our lives with others. Each one’s opportunity will be different. The solution to each one’s problem will also be different. Let us focus on being the best we possibly can be within our means and
#FoidForThought A wealthy man watched an ant moving across the balcony carrying a big leaf several times its size. The man watched it for more than an hour. He saw that the ant faced many obstacles during its journey, paused, took a diversion and then continued towards its
destination. At one point the tiny creature came across a crack in the floor. It paused for a little while, analysed and then laid the huge leaf over the crack, walked over the leaf, picked the leaf on the other side then continued on its journey. The man was captivated by the
cleverness of the ant. The incident left the man in awe and forced him to contemplate over the miracle of creation. A while later the man saw that the creature had reached its destination – a tiny hole in the floor which was the entrance to its underground dwelling. And it was at
🛑 CHINA ALERT 🛑 Xi’s Chinese Communist Party is using ‘Zero COVID’ to manipulate and suppress 老百姓 Lao Baixing (Chinese commoners). Take a look at a text stream sent to me by a friend in Beijing today: #ChinaExposed #China #ZeroCovid #Wuhan @HuXijin_GT @globaltimesnews
Better question is was it always this way? Did COVID solve two vexing problems for China simultaneously? It looks to have temporarily solved their current account trending into negative territory by abruptly shutting down the Chinese population from traveling, educating,
and spending abroad. Also by allowing a full Communist Party of China takeover of Hong Kong when protests against the national security policy were at their zenith. #FoodForThought

Key to good trading is understanding your:
1. Winning Probability - How many trades you win out of 100?
2. Risk Management - How much you lose vs how much you win. Risk:Reward?
3. Position Sizing - How much quantity you execute which impacts your loss / profit?

“And the sun goes towards its resting place.”
[36:38]
Some sahabah’s رضي الله عنهم asked the Prophet ﷺ about what this verse meant, to which he replied that when the sun sets, it goes beneath the ‘Arsh of Allah and does sajdah. It stays there till Allah grants it permission to rise again. So it rises in the morning & in the evening
the sun comes back to do sujood again beneath the ‘Arsh of Allah. It will continue to do this until a time will come where it will ask for permission to rise, but Allah will order it to go back to where it came from. So it will rise from the west and this is when the doors of
