In life, sometimes we feel as though the world is “throwing
blows at us.” We feel shattered and broken. We feel as
though we are being “buried alive.” Perhaps someone is
actually trying to injure us; or perhaps we are simply stuck
in a difficult situation. Either way, we have two choices.
We can either succumb to the onslaught and allow ourselves
to be buried, or we can “shake it off and step up.”
The latter is surely a more difficult path. It requires resolution,
will to survive, fortitude and faith. But, in the end, it is
the path that will lead to our triumph. If we continue to
“shake off” whatever hits us in life, and we continue to
“step up” and rise above any situation, then we, too, will
always be victorious and our lives will be successful and
joyful.

the speaker that he or she had 3 minutes left, then 2 minutes,
then 1 minute.
A divine, old, revered Indian saint, clad only in scant saffron
robes, walked slowly, yet purposefully and unwavering
to the podium when it was time for his talk. As he spoke,
silence descended upon the room. While most speeches
were read from notecards, or were the product of careful
and deliberate editing, his words seemed to speak themselves.
Dadaji was given 5 minutes to speak. However, as
the organizers held up signs that read, “2 minutes left,”
then “1 minute left,” he showed no signs of winding up his
talk. The signs then read, “30 seconds left,” then “Fin-
