"You are" sculptorer of own destiny

In my childhood I had visited Swami Narayan Mandir (Ahemdabad) with my family. Though I was not so matured at that time, but I still remember one beautiful sculpture present in one of the room. It was very much like one appearing below. In one hand sculpture there was hammer and in another chisel. One person present inside room explained deep rooted meaning in that wonderful sculpture. He simply said "God has given us every thing to us. He has given us Hammer and chisel to us, now its up to us how we want to design our self". How true it is!

We have all the equipment with us. Its just question of how we use them. You get shape of your destiny based on  how skillfully you have played with your tools. It is a power which has been provided by Creator to us. Power always comes with responsibility. Responsibility towards whom? I would say responsibility towards Creator. You have been created on this earth for some unique purpose, for achieving that purpose you have been provided with all tools and authority. If you are not utilizing your full potential or mis utilizing it then it will lead to your under development. Which simply means you have deviated from your purpose of life.

"Thoughts" are like hammer on chisel. Your force of hammer (Thoughts) passes through chisel(Action) and it moulds the Sculpture (Your Life). "Rome was not built in one day". So even your Beautiful sculpture called life is not going to be built in single day. Your every thought has an immense power. Some time it even does not get converted in to actions but directly in to result.

Some times unknowing we give signals to our mind. For example you If you like to listen sad songs, you like to see emotional (heart break kind) movie, or write some sad story then unknowingly activating negative force. Which may come back to you too.

So take charge of your life.Give yourself daily hammer of of Smile, Positivity and Love. At end of the day we want to be happy and being loved. Then why not see some thing that makes you happy, do some thing that makes you happy, write some thing that creates happiness.

Just see beauty of creation:- When you are happy (In journey and not in destination) you are in alignment with purpose of your life and you have automatically sculptured your destiny (without even thinking about it)

"Unlimited" I Am.....

Success is the seed which I daily sow,

Like a storm of wind I flow,

The road ahead might have many downs,

I don't care, I have no time to frown.

I know what my hidden potential is,

"Unlimited", yes I am this.

I will conquer which is unknown,

Doesn't matter if I have to achieve in alone,

I carry dream in my bright eye,

Only person that can achieve them is "I"

I know that time what I have is Limited

But my potentials to achieve are Unlimited.

I want everything in righteous way,

Doesn't Matter, if longer I have to stay,

But most important I will like to be what I am

Because "Unlimited"- yes this is what I am.

Spirituality is to be child again.........

(inspired by many discourses of Gurudev-H. H. Sri Sri. Ravi Shankar)

Often people link spirituality to oldness. If someone practices spirituality then he is tagged as "old", "raw", "serious", etc etc...But the person who is into it only knows how wonderful it is. Spirituality is not sitting silently or being serious at all. Its just like being new born child daily. Spirituality in simple word "getting intimated with your soul" and being child again.

We give time to our body and decorate it with nice clothes, perfumes, accessories. We even give time to others by thinking about them (good or bad), speaking to them, being with them. On a external level we give time to ourselves too. That is we think about us from our "Ego" perspective. "What is there for me?", "I did this", " I will have to do this to impress them", etc... Our internal communication goes on in respect to our ego. 

But we forget to communicate with our internal soul. It is the space where you really exist. When you visit yourself you realize who you really are. You are not Mr. / Ms/ Dr. / CA,  You are not CEO, Clerk, MD or Peon, You are not even friend of some one, daughter or son of some one, you are not even beautiful, intelligent or artist. You start appreciating fact that you are just "You". We link ourselves to some traits, qualification, designation or any relation. But YOU- yourself are an absolute concept and this is just like going to your childhood again.

When were child we did stupid things not to impress any one but because we liked it. We just loved what we do. Child sees every thing with keen eyes and cherishes images what he captures. He even feels happy watching his own hands. He cries, laughs, waves hand, moves legs, does thing what he likes. He gives his 100% in what he does. When you are spiritual you actually do the same thing. You do what you feel like, you don't wait for certain point to be reached in order to be happy.

Love, Happiness and natural Positivity  is part of spirituality. No beer, Party, drugs can sustain your laughter for longer time. only drug of "Spirituality" can make your life awesome and worth living. So it time to be child again, enjoy the nature, rejoice yourself.      

“God”- The Best Economist!

God has created everything with awesome perfection. Everything is properly planned and placed nothing is accident in his world. He is the best economist and has created a “Perfect World” or let say perfect market. Which means demand for X- commodity/service is equal to supply of X-commodity or service. When he created supply he thought of most idealistic demand. But we: - “Human being” have multiplied our demand and always tried to consume excess of what we have (sometimes we even have not shown dis-economies of scale). Suppose all he human being had lived “Yogi” life (Let say perfect life), Then there would not have been any problems in the world. All world wars are outcome of excess greed of human being. Also all natural disasters are outcome for the same. We cut the trees, encroached land from the sea, created huge structure, and produced food un-naturally. So to balance that god has to also take some harsh steps like earth quake, Tsunami, etc.

When all the commodity or services utilized with 100% potential then there will be perfect world too. Land can be used to create tobacco and also food grains. Tobacco yields more returns to farmer but does not maximize the wealth to the society at large. Because it has harmed production of food grains and also harms health of people consuming it. God has always given what all is needed (bare minimum necessity) but we always carve for more. Everything we carve is just for our sense gratification. In order to satisfy our senses (all five) we keep on harming beauty of the world.

Every living and non living thing has purpose in his life. In perfectly balanced world everyone/ thing needs to be utilized as per its/ his perfect potential. One of the monk in “Iscon” temple gave wonderful example to me and my friend: ‘Laptop has potential to be utilized perfectly for your office work. You can use this laptop as a door stopper (ie: - stop doors from moving when heavy air is blowing). Even though laptop will work perfectly for same but it will be very much underutilized.’ If you act with the natural qualities or pure potential created by the Ultimate Economist, than there will always be abundance in the World. 

Hope in My Tiny Eye……

Though I am tiny and small,

I know that I will be winner and very tall.

In my tiny little eye,

I carry dreams bigger than sky.

Don’t know how it will happen,

But I believe it will be done.

My tiny hands will fall short,

Someday I will receive so much from lord.

I will “Win” with full of grace,

Everyone will follow my tiny footsteps.

I know that I have spark in me,

I believe tiny seed of my dream will turn into tree.

But, When Success is on my card,

I don’t want to have tiny heart.

I will hold what is enough for me,

And pass rest to someone who is tiny.

I guess that is the reason why I am born,

I am the receiver from lord on behalf of some one.

I dream to fulfill all tiny dreams of other,

And that’s the best thing I can ever conquer.

My tiny eye can’t see very far

But hope in my Eye can see my world full of “Stars”….

I just Lost my self Somewhere......

I just lost Myself somewhere,

Now I cant find my heart anywhere.

When you smile at me, I just die

I simply Love you and anytime it cant be lie.

Your hug is everything to me,

It's Magic, how it changes "Me" to "We"

It is So awesome when you hold my hand,

I just enter in to Wonderland.

It makes my eyes full of tears,

 when you whisper "I love you dear"

                                  I don't know why I Love you,

My entire world has just turned Brand New.

I love to sleep sleepless night,

and think of you in bright sunlight.

I just don't want any further thing in my life,

I think you are the only one whom I can call "My Life"

Want you to be cheerful nights and days,

Because that will make my happiness stay always.

I know I have lost my self some how,

But I don't want to find myself any how.

When I say Good Bye......

I don't want tears when I die,
Want to see everyone cheerful when I say Good Bye.....


I don't want flower laid over me,
don't want any tombstone named over me.
I just want to be in Heart of those who are Mine,
Thats is the way my final bye will be Fine.


I don't want to come back again on this Earth,
So will utilize all my energy and not wait for Re-Birth,
I want to lay some foundation before I go,
May be of Happiness, Love or something which even I don't know.


I don't want to count wealth which I have churned,
Want to cherish selfless moment which i have earned.
On death bed I just don't want any regret,
Just want to feel I have lived all my Life in way which is just Great.

Want to Smile when I say world "Good Bye"
This is the way I want to Die..........


  

Opposite is Good............. :-)

Most Beautiful part of Life is that there is always opposite thing to a good thing. Assume that you where born on earth and you had only seen one thing that was "Happiness". Then just imagine how much dull and raw life would have been. Person who does not know what is sadness cannot experience happiness. So it wouldn't be wrong to say that God has created sadness just so that we can know blissful state is. So if you are sad in Life, Just say to your self.. There is much Happiness to come in Life, God is making play ground for me where I can Play with my Happiness

You cannot describe happiness unless you are aware of unhappiness. "Happiness" and "Sadness" cannot be defined in absence of one another. So when you are in down state of mind just keep in mind that God is making you teach what sadness is and once you know it he will gift you loads of "Happiness". So opposite values are not really opposite they co-exist together. There cannot be Husband without Wife or there cannot be Wife without Husband.

But it doesnt mean that you need to be sad in order to experience happiness. There are two ways you yourself experience or with apathy. 

But keep in mind that "Happiness" and "Unhappiness" which I am talking about above is from "Materialistic" point of view....... There is some thing more which is beyond both of them. That is our Inner blissful-ness state. That is to experience Happiness without any reason. this is a absolute concept and not related to any thing in the world. If you move towards that then nothing can shake you up.

But Just keep in Mind that most beautiful thing you can wear in your body is  "SMILE" :-). Keep Smiling.....

"Sri Sri says:- Haso aur Hasao, Mat phoso mat Phasao....." 

Kite Speaks...........

I Fly up above the sky,

I am always HaPpY even I don't know why?

I just know what my dreams are,

Achievable even though far.

I know this winds are too fast,

But teaching me how to be up when time is harsh.

Up, Up, Up I go....

sometimes, forget that this is not I do.

Some body is holding me with sting called "Love"

Thats making me fly like "Dove".

Yes I am on top, but people please dont Congratulate,

Because it my holder that has decided  my fate.

So I thank all those who made my fly,

without them I would have never seen sky...

"Feelings" starts where "Words" Ends....

Beauty of the word is that it can explain the meaning but more than that words are beauiful because it fail to explain the feelings..... 
Just imagine how mechanical life would be if words can describe our feeling aptly. Simple thing like taste of the apple cannot be described in words, such is the beauty of the feelings. When we say "I Love you" to our loved one we express that we love that person but words simply cant explain what the person is feeling within him when he is telling "I Love you"


But strange life is we often fall in love with the "Words" and not the feeling behind it. Suppose you are doing some thing wrong and person who loves you scolds you. You will remember all the harsh words spoken by him, which is wrong. Just step back and see why did he spoke harsh words? Did he really meant that harsh words? then you will know the "right intentions" behind the words.

One way to experience someones feeling is to stop judging or giving importance to the "words", Simply just keep your mind away. Feeling is to be experienced in the mindless state. If you notice some one in Love and is mesmerized than you will think that this person has simply gone mad but what that person feels will be more than a heaven for him.

Such is the beauty of feeling that we don't need not use any of our senses. In many religious places like tirupati or Shridi you stand in long Que. Sometimes for days, but when you have darshan of God what you do? You close your eyes and experience the bliss. Notice that you firstly used eyes (Sense) to see the idol of Lord but notice that to experience bliss you used simply nothing!!! 


So Don't give much importance to words but just feel the feeling.............

Don't see part of Zig Saw puzzle but see picture formed after joining Zig-saw puzzle......

We all have and opinion about any particular thing or person. You may call it as perspective. But if you notice we form opinion based on narrow part.

We describe "whole" by experiencing "part" but we forget that it is just a part and not whole. Take for example, If some one of your good friend is not available when you need him once or twice, you make a blanket statement that "He is mean, he is not available when I need him". Even though that person might not be available due to some genuine reason. We forget all the good deeds done by him. We have created Good or Bad part in our mind and have preconceptions about what is good and bad. If a person fulfills all the condition what we have set for "good" we tag them as "Good" or as the case may be. But everyone has good and bad its just what we see.

Similar case is with situations in our life. Once we have bad experience we just generalize that this thing is bad. If some one has heart break then he will jut generalize "Love is Bad, It Hurts". But thats not the fact!!!

Just look every thing with all the dimension, May it be people, Feeling, or situations. If you open up your other portion of the mind then you will realize that no person is "Bad" and no situation is "Bad".

Notice that we keenly observe negative quality and just magnify them. Just simply start De-Magnifying them. Starting looking at broader picture then every thing will look fair to you if not good.

Sri Sri Ravishankar has rightly said " If you notice all the bad moments past in your life were actually not bad as you imagined them to be"

Love is every where......

Everything on this mother earth is product of Love.Whenever you love someone you get attracted towards it. Science says everything on this earth is made up of tiny molecules. They are attracted to each other so deeply that we feel it as one object. So each object whether living or non living is made up of love. We all human beings are also product of love.

                                              

No one on this earth can survive without Love. Even the person who says “I hate”, also loves. Take for instance when you say bad to someone he feels bad and  hates your this kind of attitude. Now just change dimension and look it from other side. Question yourself “why does he hate my attitude?”answer is because he loves yourdifferent kind of attitude.

Love can be positive or reverse. It can make you or break you; it can be way you for your success or path to failure. It all depends on how YOU handle your love.  Important word in last line is “You” because at the end of the day you, yourself are the person to be blamed for path you choose. If you love to smoke, then it can lead to bad health, where as love to read can make you scholar. Love towards laziness can lead to failure where as love towards work can make you enthusiastic and shape your career to its best. So you need to understand what is right for you. Ask to your deepest soul what you would love to do and start doing that accordingly.

Excess of love can also be dangerous some times. Excess love towards work can make you workaholic and thereby make your life dull. Excess love towards achievement can make you egoistic. Excess love towards others can make you very attached to them leading to high level of expectations. And as economists have told expectations (demands) are unending.  They multiply exponentially and there is no end to it. Then suddenly you start noticing that you are the only person who loves and not the other person (which is not true at all). One event where other person did not acted as you wanted is enough to break you and then you generalize “He/ She doesn’t love me” Its gets more messier and messier.

 Even to love yourself beyond a certain extent is harmful, because it will lead you towards selfishness.

  

Love is present everywhere, it is linked to every object yet it remains “Pure” when it is Delinked. What I mean to say is we link our expectations with whom we love. We feel he/ she is my love so I should have exclusive right over him/ her. We become over possessive. But we need to realize we cannot play with the ball if you hold it tight. Let it be free, it will come back to its center and if other person is truly loving you, then you become his/ her center.

You should have unending Trust in another person. I believe no relation on this earth can be build up if basic foundation of “Trust” does not exist. Trust does not mean expectation but it’s a Belief. You don’t expect that my love should be there when I need her but you BELIVE that she will be with me whenever I need her.  Its just like belief in God. We don’t have to prove it. It’s there.

Pure love exist in the small child face, in the love of our parents, in ocean, in wind, in soil, they are ready to accept you way you are, wherever you are whatever you do, because they have least expectations. So according to me purest form of love is when it is unconditional. River gives away all of its water unconditionally to whoever comes to it.

Let’s all of us make a vow that we will touch each and every person coming in our life with wonderful feeling of Unconditional Love…..

    

  

Get dissolved... Flow with Water, Blow with Air...Be 100%

Sri Sri Ravishankar often quotes "Are You 100% here? I don't want half of you here and rest half somewhere outside."

We need to learn the simple fact that whatever we are doing we should do it one hundred percent then only we will cherish that activity.

Many times we keep on doing the things for just sake of doing, for example simple good morning to our boss. Do we really mean it? It often becomes just statement with no meaning attached to it. But if we do it with grace and feeling of enthusiasm then we will really cherish some of the simple and routine things of our life too. 

We become very mechanical sometimes and do certain activity without any feeling like doing it.

Problem of our mind is that it always runs always from the present moment. If we are at work, we think "When the hell I will go home?", or "Weekend is so Far". Or "Working on weekend makes me Crazy" or...........................

And when we are at home: "I have hell lot of work to do next week" or "I hope my manager will be impressed with my work” Or .......................

When we are at office we think of home and when we are in home we think of office. Thereby we fail to enjoy office or even home.

Just be where you are. Don’t worry about other thing when you are doing something.

When you are dancing just dance with 100% joy in to it, like no one is watching you. Fully get dissolved in the music.

Whenever you do any activity with 100% grace then your will definitely get the Best result.
