Many have replied to the quoted twee with the reasons they think why there are less Sadhvis as compared to Sadhus. Let me share my own thoughts.

The word Sadhu means an ascetic, who lives a life of Vairagyā. They renounce their known world and embark on a journey of unknown +
+ & self-discovery.

A man when takes pratigyā to renounce everything, he becomes a Sadhu. For women, they already follow this when they get married. Women renounces her known world and embarks on a journey of unknown and in this journey, she discovers herself.
She lives a life of Vairagyā, where she follows way of life that gives her satisfaction.

Very few women do not find the way of life post marriage as appealing and go on to become a Sadhvi.

To conclude, women are already living a life of Sadhvi being a grahini and +
+ her role in shaping the future of her 'kul' is of far more importance than renouncing the world. While men actually leave everything behind to live as Sadhu.

This is strictly my opinion, and not necessarily right 🙏🏻

Very educative message, need of time.

In a meeting, Guru ji asked a 30-year-old youth to stand up during his discourse.

- You are walking on Juhu Chowpatty in Mumbai and a beautiful girl is coming from the front, so what will you do?
The young man said - She will be seen, and he will start seeing her personality.

Guru ji asked - After that girl has moved forward, so will you look back too?

The boy said - yes, if my wife is not with me . (everyone laughs in the meeting)
Guru ji again asked - Tell me how long will you remember that beautiful face?

The young man said May be for 5 - 10 minutes, until another beautiful face appears.

Guru ji said to the young man - now just imagine.. you are going from Jaipur to Mumbai and +

Thief of Joy!

Received this story on WA, do read it full and let me know if you experienced this in life.

I was Cycling this morning and I noticed a person about half a km ahead.

I could guess he was Cycling a little slower than me and...

@anexcommie @shreekanth2020
...that made me feel good, I said to myself I will try catch up with him.

So I started Cycling faster and faster. Every block, I was gaining on him a little bit. After just a few minutes I was only about 100 feet behind him, so I really picked up the pace and...

@HelloNNewman
...pushed myself. I was determined to catch up with him.

Finally, I did it! I caught up and passed him. Inwardly I felt very good. "I beat him". Of course, he didn't even know we were racing.

Suprabhātam friends and family!

This story is specially dedicated to COVID warriors and ppl suffering from it. Pls read thru.

Once, there were *five lamps* burning in a house. One fine day one of the lamps said - Even after burning and giving them...

@anexcommie
...*my light*, people have no appreciation for it.

It would be better if I get extinguished. The lamp extinguished considering it as meaningless to continue to give light.

Do you know what the lamp represented? The lamp symbolised *enthusiasm*.

@shreekanth2020 @HelloNNewman
Seeing this, another lamp, said - I should be extinguished too.

Despite continuously giving light of *peace*, people are committing violence. And with that, the lamp symbolizing *peace* extinguished.

Jogajog and Sanjog

A Monk of the Ramakrishna Mission was being interviewed by a journalist from NY. The journalist started
interviewing the Monk as planned earlier.

@anexcommie @shreekanth2020
Journalist - "Sir, in your last lecture, you told us about "Jogajog" (Contact) and "Sanjog" (Connection). It's really confusing. Can you explain?"

The Monk smiled and apparently deviating from the question asked the journalist:

"Are you from New York?"

Journalist: "Yeah.."
Monk: "Who are there at home?"

The Journalist felt that the Monk was trying to avoid answering his question since this was a very personal and unwarranted question. Yet the  journalist said: "Mother had expired. Father is there. Three brothers and one sister. All married..."

If anyone believes tht Cong is out of pic in Indian polity, cos they have no presence in many states, then you're being naive.

A party, which has been in the corridor of powers for more than 70 yrs, cannot be disposed off in mere yrs.

@anexcommie @Kishoreciyer1 @shreekanth2020
Today's #CongressToolKit proves my belief, tht Cong has other things in mind. If they cannot be King, they wanna be Kingmaker.

If they cannot be part of government, they merely contest to cut into votebank of other parties (which is almost always BJP).

@rspcharya
Congress has, in all these yrs created coteries tht has its tentacles in almost all fields & departments.

Since the time India got independence, Congress has been setting one narrative after another. And ppl have been falling for it, year after year.

We hv endless problems today and most of them r self-created. Surprised?

Read on.

To solve any problem requires a stable and presence of mind. An anxious mind is no less then a turbulent ocean. In such a mindset, even if solution presents itself, we ignore it. @anexcommie
Here's couple of incident to highlight this fact (courtesy - WhatsApp forward)

Napoléon Bonaparte is a well-known French Military Commander, he was defeated by allied forces in his last battle and was sent on exile to the island of Saint Helena off the coast of Africa...
...(source -  history.com/this-day-in-hi…). This much is fact, the following account though is unverified.

In his exile, he was visited by a friend, who gave him a square board, saying "it'll help him in loneliness".
