Restrain the pipe with the lips and pick up the coin with it

NECESSARY MATERIALS:
A straw-pipe (glass pipe or plastic pipe also can be taken). A coin made of aluminum.

PREPARATION:
It doesn't matter if not done.

METHOD:
Announce a reward to the person who will be successful in picking up the coin placed on the table, with the point of the pipe and call the viewers. Ask some of them to try. When try will not be able, do it yourself in the following way:
Firstly, pick up the straw-pipe with one hand and the magic-stick with the other and then whirl the latter pronouncing the magic spell. Restrain the pipe with the lips and place its lower point on the coin. Then draw air present in the pipe with the mouth and uplift the pipe along with your head. The coin will stick to the point of the pipe and get uplifted.

THE SCIENTIFIC REASON:
When air is drawn up with the mouth, there is formed a partial vacuum inside the pipe. Consequently air from outside tries to enter into the pipe. Since the upper point of the pipe stays in the mouth and the other on the coin, air cannot enter into it. Hence, due to the presence of the external air, the coin continues to stick to the lower point of the pipe.

PRECAUTIONS:
The surface of the point of the pipe should be even. There should be no hole or leaks on the surface of the pipe. There should be the condition of Airtight between the coin and the lower point of the pipe for which 1-2 drops of water can be put over the coin.

Secret of success

Success in life is a matter not so much of talent as of confidence and positive thinking. Some people succeed more easily than others because they have ceaseless industry, limitless ambition, unquenchable enthusiasm and tremendous common sense. They also seem to have some technique by which they are filled with inner strength to successfully cope with any state of affairs.

When a successful man enters a room, he is recognized as a man of 'personality'. When he speaks, people listen to him for he has confidence in his voice. His success serves him as a pedestal. It makes him look bigger!

On the other hand an unsuccessful man can give excellent reasons why he has failed in life. He says that conditions were not quite favorable, he was unfairly handicapped or unfairly treated and so on.

Patience, Impatience

Whenever one is faced with a problem, one may either accept the responsibility for it, or attempt to lay the blame on others. The first course results from patience, the second from impatience.

There can be no positive human psychology without patience. The patient man tries to understand the nature of the challenge confronting him, and then attempts to meet that challenge to the best of his ability. He channels all his time, energy and strength, as well as every particle of his resources, into constructive action. Awakened by the shock of an adverse situation, he makes a supreme effort to overcome all obstacles and to compensate for any previous failures. In this way, he emerges far more successful than ever before.

Service

It is the purpose of your life to serve the world.

It is the purpose of the world to serve you.

To serve the world is to serve God and love all.

It is our duty to be useful to mankind.

Only through self-realization can we discriminate between the useful and the more useful.

It is noble to feed men's bodies but more noble to feed men's minds.

Give not just water to the thirsty but also lead them to the well so that they may be free to drink, free from obligation to men, free to their own calling.

The Panacea

Who does not wish to see this earth to be a better place to live in than what it is today?

Who does not wish to see that the starving and shelterless people around the world are fed and sheltered?

Who does not wish to see the Human Brotherhood imbused with the feelings of love and affection?

Who does not wish to know the mystery of life and death and body and soul?

If yes, do come to the Nirankari Baba and be blessed with God-knowledge and be free from all bondage and taboos, pride and prejudice, illusions and delusions, superstitions and misconceptions.

The Nirankari Baba shows the positive and righteous way of life and imparts God-knowledge, the panacea for all human ills, and instils the spirit of self-sacrifice, self-abnegation and selfless service.
