Relationships....

When I talk about relationships its not only about girlfriends, boyfriends, love affairs...though its a part but largely it includes your parents, friends, close ones, relatives, the bond with the Supreme being and much more. I was a bit sad the previous days(which made me compose this) as I observed the world that surrounds me is confined to materialistic love. They fight, growl, worry, break, get depressed because of their immense love for dead and materialistic things and have negligible love for human kind.

Last month while I was travelling by train, I found a grown up man fighting for the window seat. At that time I couldn't understand how to react whether to laugh or feel pity but the next time I thanked God that He made me different from that crowd which loved materialistic things. As I said earlier "People are meant to be loved and Things are meant to be used" but nowadays its vice-versa and I feel so sad for this, but the next time I feel lucky that my friends and closed ones that surrounds me are not the same and I pray for those materialistic lovers.

So for me relationships tops the chart, more than anything else. And if you are really loyal to it you will be rewarded with other things(including the materialistic ones) in abundance...trust me. I feel, peace of mind is more important than anything else.

Money, the basic necessity in todays scenario, can't buy happiness, peace of mind, love of your parents or care of your soul-mate. I agree at the same time that its important but its useless if earned by snatching joy from someones eyes or not giving time to your relationships ...And finally what remains is you, your solitude and your money.Thus, that is not what counts, what counts is-

...how many souls are at peace because of you...

...the pleasant and satisfying smile that you hold by being generous and kind to others and when people adore you for this...

...the peace of mind and inner happiness you gather by seeing the smiling faces of your parents and loved ones because of your good deeds...

...the respect you give to human kind when you help a poor man and heal an injured one...the twinkle in your eyes when somebody praises you for your kindness....

...your eyes filled with tears of joy when your pet shows tremendous unconditional love when you get back home after a long time...

And after all this, you stand infront of the Divine with your head high, eyes into His eyes, feeling the divinity within and without any laments or regrets...feeling proud to be a good human being.

We have so much to learn from animals and nature, how beautifully they hold their relashionships to their own kind and to us, thus they create a balance of everything with their love. A small child has innocence in his eyes, he doesn't even know what is cheating, disloyalty or untrustworthiness, he only know one language that is "Love" and is very true to it. So in this matter they are much more experienced as compared to us.

So it is more important than past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do, it is more important than appearance, gifted ability, or skill. It will make or break a company, a temple, a home.

The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace from that day. We cannot change our past , the inevitable...the only thing that we can do is play on the one string that we have and this string is our attitude towards life which is the basic cause of building and nourishing a relationship and trust me you'll never fail. I am convinced that life is ten percent what happens to me and ninety percent how I react to it. And so it is with you... after all we are in charge of our lives. Thanks for reading....

Maine manga tha na...

I was sitting in my room...and suddenly some negative thoughts came to my mind. I took my pen and thought to write it down. But then later on I realized that I should develop a positive thinking as I believed that a positive thought is hundred times stronger than a negative one....so again a change came into my story which is as follows, probably in the form of a poetry(in hindi).......

Maine manga tha na anant sagar ko bas chahi thi

Do boond pani ki,

jo aaj ankhon me utar ayi

Maine mangi thi na falak ki lalima bas

chahi thi bhaskar ki ek kiran, par megh

chhaye manas me

Maine manga tha na bagban bas chahi thi pankhuri

pushp ki

par chhalni hue hast kaanton se

Maine chaha tha na madiralay bas manga tha ek

pyala,

par kya jab tute kaanch haath aye....

Par kya ye aankhon ke pani, ye megh, arakt haath, tute kaanch..

mujhe pighla paye

Chahungi main fir do boond pani ki

Aur falak ki lalima,

Pankhuri pushp ki,

aur pyala

Ye zazba abhi thama nahi,

Ye pag abhi parthiv nahi,

Abhi Nahi..........

Being silent...

"There are times when silence has the loudest voice"

There is so much chaos around us, so much noise, and what is the result-more noise. People are fighting, they have least time to discover themselves and for others, things are being loved and people are being used. Similarly they think that the people who remain calm and silent are therefore weak. is it? and the answer is- no.They have much power than those who blabber and talk crap.

Mother Teresa said “We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.”
“Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts.”

How true.isnt it?

Animals are the best example.I myself have a pet at home, a cute german shepherd- Bruno.He has immense unconditional love for our whole family. Someone said "the most beautiful things in the world are unspoken and they can only be felt" and same is here, he says so much by speaking nothing.That is the power of being silent. One understands oneself and enhances self discovery, it gives deep rest to body and mind, energy and enthusiasm gets revived. Its a great tool for elevating consciousness. Increased awareness and an unshakeable sense of stability comes into our lives and stay for long periods of time.

How peaceful the world would be if everybody will understand the key of silence.

So the practice of silence is a simple way to check in with ourselves and with the world around us. Creating moments every day to reconnect with silence and stillness improves state of mind, boosts energy, relaxes the body, and promotes spiritual wholeness.

One feels different and above from rest of the noisy world and gradually peace surrounds.

The secret of MEDITATION..

It has been a month that i am doing meditation.I never knew what it resulted as it was just a few gloomy and depressed friends who wanted to try it including me as I was bored of the hectic schedule which we follow at college.Thus this resulted in developing a store house of negative energy within us which had to be removed and had to be vitalised with positivity.

Chanting 'OM', gayatri mantra, doing a couple of yogasan, visualization and a few more exercises included the art of meditation which we practiced at eleven at night. It worked like a magic, as if god himself had came and showered his blessings upon us. So pure, soothing, satisfying, joyful and what not, was the experience. As the days passed by there was personal growth, self-realization or self-awareness and knowledge of being a "pure being"—the Self. It helped us inculcating a more positive attitude towards life at large. I feel very lucky and different from rest of the world around me for what i had within me.

Gradually i realised that mind and body are intimately connected, and the relationship of the mind to the body in meditation is very interesting.The mind creates a situation in which we see the body as peaceful and beautiful. By creating peaceful feelings in the body, the mind is absorbed in those feelings. So although the body is the object to be healed, it also becomes the means of healing the mind. And lot many such changes i found within me.

I have found that if I meet people on a way, just a nod and a smile (even though I do not know the people and have just seen them around often) brings a smile to the other person's face.

I also feel pleasantly disposed to animals ,which was not there before because the awareness has come that they also crave for love as we humans do.

I realised that what we think creates our future so why not think good if this is all what creates our destiny.

I feel great and so is my meditation cult. We now know how to live life in its best way.
