Names

The manager of a large office asked a new employee to come into his office.

"What is your name?," was the first thing the manager asked.

"John," the new guy replied.

The manager scowled. "Look, I don't know what kind of a namby-pamby place you worked at before, but I don't call anyone by their first name!

It breeds familiarity and that leads to a breakdown in authority," he said.

"I refer to my employees by their last name only - Smith, Jones, Baker - that's all.

Now that we got that straight, what is your last name?"

The new guy sighed and said, "Darling. My name is John Darling."

The manager said, "Okay, John, the next thing I want to tell you..."

Names

A pregnant woman gets into a car accident and falls into a deep coma.

Asleep for nearly six months, she wakes up and sees that she is no longer pregnant. Frantically, she asks the doctor about her baby.

The doctor replies, "Ma'am, you had twins! A boy and a girl. The babies are fine. Your brother came in and named them."

The woman thinks to herself, "Oh no, not my brother -- he's an idiot!" Expecting the worst, she asks the doctor, "Well, what's the girl's name?"

"Denise," the doctor says.

The new mother thinks, "Wow, that's not a bad name! Guess I was wrong about my brother. I like Denise!" Then she asks the doctor, "What's the boy's name?"

The doctor replies, DeNephew.

Change Your Name to Change Your Luck?
By James Hookway and Wilawan Watcharasakwet

Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt once predicted that in the future people around the world will change their names to escape all the embarrassing things they did online in the past. In Thailand, people already are doing it—for good luck.

Baramee Thammabandan, 46 years old, had a run of misfortune a decade ago when he was still known as Teerapol Lilitjirawat. His business trading garments in Bangkok's mazelike markets slumped, his eyesight began to fail and he could no longer properly manage his affairs. Worse, he says his former wife left him.

So, Mr. Baramee did what many Thais do when faced with a patch of bad luck: He changed his name. "I wanted to become a new person," says the slim, clean-shaven Mr. Baramee, whose new name means "Charisma" and which he chose to bring him wealth and fame.

It seems to have worked.

[b]What’s in a Name? What is our true name? [/b

Bodies are different and names are different, but the indweller or the Self that is present in everyone is one and the same.

When you want to call someone, you call him or her by their name. Each one of you has an unique name only for identity purposes; it should not be considered more significant than that.

From the scriptures, it was stated that you are the embodiment of the Lord. Do not limit yourself as a mere human being.

Let anyone call you by any name. The real truth is, the Self-same Lord is present in you and in everyone. The Divine dwells everywhere and in everyone.

Hence remember! You do not merely represent the name that you are given, but are truly Divine -

“I am I” is your real name! The divine dwells in all of you. Hence practice the principle, “All are One, Be alike to everyone.”

- Divine Discourse, June 7, 2007.

Be humble, be calm, be tolerant. Co-operate with all and treat everyone with courtesy and kindness.
