On time

"Who says Nothing is impossible, I do it every day!"

Work expands as per time available!

So, wise is one who doesn't work as per time available but you takes only as much time required to do the job and uses the extra time to do something that he always wanted to do.....

People who do a lot and live life to the fullest are not those who have free time at hand but are the most busiest for they always know to take time for the job that they wish to finish/do and experience what they want to! The busiest never complain about lack of time.....it's the one who does little or nothing who is always putting the blame on lack of time when it comes to doing things.....

 

The mind and the need to win over it..........

Agreed, someone in our life creates a hell of problems to us.........may be everyone in our life is a pain in ....... but if wish to kill or remove everyone from my life then may be i will be left with none....

if i remove one person, he'll be replaced with one more psycho who irritates me, angers me and generates hatred in me and a desire to hurt or kill him.....

how long can i go on this killing spree?

Do i want my life to be one of the executioner or do i want a peaceful life ?

The pain he give is real. The situation is real. Agreed. But it is my MIND which is labelling it as 'something that is hurtful and painful' and that labelling is within my reach and if i can change the way i see or feel things, then will come a time when noone and nothing and hurt me...........i think that is the freedom i want to walk towards......not a situation where i erase everyone who is not to my taste.........

think about it..............

you can be depressed about the whole thing or move on and become and come out of this situation using the person who hurts you to make you a better (and not bitter) and a strong person from within....

YOU have a choice....choose carefully and wisely........for you are free to choose any path that pleases you but at the end of the day you only reap the consequences of your choices..........

Walk Alone if need be but never leave the path…..

Walk Alone if need be 

but never leave the path…..

The path is difficult and lonely….

yes, many times it is depressing too……

but you CAN do it and you HAVE it in you.

Walk alone if need be

But never leave the path that takes you to yonder  shores 

where there is no pain or suffering.

Walk alone if need be

But never leave the path.

 

To leave the lust, anger and hatred

I know seems next to impossible

But trust me, it just seems

It is not so…..

To test you and to weaken you will come

Many a players in your life

And will come in every station of life

To play their part to perfection

That you may falter and give in to your vices

But you can win over these temptations……

If you just don’t give in

And keep up the moral high.

Walk alone if need be

But don’t leave the path.

 

If you become them, then say who’s won?

If you can’t change them to being you

Atleast you don’t become them!

Think and think wisely….

For your every thought is governed by them

If it is filled with anger and hatred

And you have won

If you are peaceful and calm

On their face and laugh at their idiosyncracies……

Walk alone if need be

But don’t leave the path!

Because at the end of the path

It is not if you have won over them or not that decides who’s won.

One who loses to his heart is a loser

And one who has won his heart is a winner……

 

Walk alone if need be

But don’t leave the path

Walk alone, walk alone…..

 

if you are open to bengali song listen to Kishoreda singing Rabindranath Tagore's eklo chalo song " https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pmzvr3aZXQc

and the translation of this one of most Rabindra Sangeet song is :

If they answer not to your call walk alone

If they are afraid and cower mutely facing the wall,

O thou unlucky one,

open your mind and speak out alone.

If they turn away, and desert you when crossing the wilderness,

O thou unlucky one,

trample the thorns under thy tread,

and along the blood-lined track travel alone.

If they shut doors and do not hold up the light when the night is troubled with storm,

O thou unlucky one,

with the thunder flame of pain ignite your own heart,

and let it burn alone.

 

Why to collect this illusion?

Sant Kabir says :

Kaahey kun maya dukh kari jori,

Haathi chun gaya paanch pachhevari.

 

Maa, ko banch no bhaai saathi,

Baandhey rahey turangam haathi.

 

Mairi, mahal baabri chhaajaq,

Chhaani iye sab bhoopati raja.

 

Kaahey kabir Rama lyuan laai

Dhaari rahi maya kaahu na khaayi.

 

Kabir says “hey creature! Why have you collected this illusion and wealth-property uselessly bearing all the pain? At your death you would get only the five-yard of red cloth and nothing else.

No one is a friend of anyone in this world, nor is anyone is anyone’s consort; all the relations in the world are illusory; why then do the rich men show off their wealth parking elephant-horse at their entrance?

From great to the greatest king met their end leaving hut, palace, pond, other buildings and everything behind right here.

Kabir says : O imprudent creature! You love Rama. The illusion remains where it is. no one can enjoy it….

On choices and yourself

Situations don't make or break us..........
We choose them to make or break us.............
Others will give us an opportunity to bring out our divinity and our asuric (demonic) nature......
it's left on us as to what we wish to express ourselves as........

If we choose to express our Divinity then we have to express through qualities like compassion, forgiveness, pity, helpfulness, understanding and patience. Nothing drives the negative person more mad than these qualities expressed by the person he is trying to hurt.....

WE can also choose to express our demonic nature....like killing, hating, hurting, slandering etc.......but that means we have stooped to the level of our opponent who has all these qualities. We have become HIM (the one who is wrong and one whom we hate). If I become him, then where is the question of being apart from him? Who punishes whom? It means HE has won! 

The ultimate win for me is when he becomes like me/ he admires me and wants to become like me / he hates me for being me.........

Think about it.......do you want to play this game to make him win the game or do you want to win?  

Choice is yours! 

Choose wisely!

Weakness will force you to choose the easy path of following his rules and nature.......but i am sure you are made of much better stuff.......

You are destined to lead not to be lead by the cruel and ungrateful..............

At the end of the day, you reap the effects of your choice.........but your choice will not make the God love you less - either way!

On love

Buddha

Why meditate?

Not everytime, everything is done to seek something......many times we get when we lose too!

Infact, I have found that when I have lost, I have gained more!
Think about it and write what you have lost as you have gained because of that!

Let me give you some starters.......
- I have gained confidence, health, happiness and admiration when I have lost weight.........
- I have gained friends when I have lost an argument........
- I have gained peace of mind/ my space when I have lost few thousands of rupees........

Can I hear from you???????

On anger

Coin in the mud

…contd….

 

But, this thing wouldn’t happen henceforth. God bless the person who put stone in the path and which hurt him. He realized the truth. He would walk with head bent from that day onwards. 

He missed the blooming of flowers and the fall of leaves. 

 

He didn’t see the smiles of children nor did their laughter reach his ears. 

 

His whole concentration was only on finding the coins in the mud. His disappointment knew no bounds when he didn’t find any. He would come home irritated, vexed, feeling cheated and tired. His health started failing and suffering mounted.

 

One day he was sitting on the park bench, head bent heaving heavily. A kid came to him and said “uncle, look up, there’s rainbow up there” and started clapping hands. Our old man looked up to notice the rainbow. He had seen it after a long time. 

 

He smiled – after a long time. He found lots of kids clapping hands pointing at rainbow. He looked at their smiling faces and lost himself. When it was time for him to leave, he saw flowers in full bloom. His heart leapt up in joy. God, how much he had missed all these sights and sounds all these days – all for just Rs. 5/- coin. He laughed at his stupidity. How could he and why did he trade joy worth millions with that coin in mud?

 

From that day onwards, he started once again walking with head up and by enjoying the God’s creation. His health picked up and smile returned to his lips” she concluded the story and left us.

 

We were left dazzled. How stupid of us to stick to one experience and log on to that through every event of our life. ‘Everything changes’ applies to these insights and experiences too. “However good be an experience, enjoy it but move on” she had said so many times. And yet here we were stuck to one event and let that blind us to other insights and experiences which we could’ve had in the past few days.

 

Yes, it was good to have some good experience but to be stuck to it, awed by it was sheer stupidity. Move on should be our watch word and action word too!

 

I laughed at my dumbness and thanked her for waking me up to reality. Am I glad she’s there to give me these jolts?

 

We all looked at each other. This time we didn’t have to talk to each other to know what the other was thinking. We were all thinking the same. Let’s drop our past experience and move on and what better way than sit in meditation for that? And we all sat in meditation without exchanging another word.

 

We opened our eyes only to drink tea or have lunch. Not a word was spoken by anyone today. Strange yet it was comforting! We were ok with it.

 

And late night we left her place in silence…..for once we gained in silence. What we couldn’t say but she gave in silence too that we experienced today. We hardly spoke yet were more close than ever, more connected than ever. I think best communication happens in silence and I smiled at this thought as I walked in moonlight away from her place…….

 

Please Note..........

In few of my blogs, i had written "..............Why don't you forward this blog as you do your other jokes etc in whatsapp/facebook etc?..........." then i didn't mean that you should to other REIKI CHANNELS OR REIKI MASTERS..........i repeat, i didn't want any of you to forward this blog posts to any of the REIKI MASTERS..............

those who have done on your own, please don't, i repeat DON'T  do it EVER again!

They know about this blog and still don't read it...that it self talks a lot about their understanding, choice and decision........no one can change it.........me - the least of all!

What i meant was "check your reason for not forwarding it to all your friends and family (here i mean those who are not reiki channels...) and why you don't do it........you still may choose not to do it, but one should know the reason for his/her action/inaction.  That was the main reason why i asked you that question..........your job didn't end by simply forwarding it to reiki masters who were least interested in it.....and who thought i asked you to forward it to them......

i am not interested in the number of hits on this blog.......that's your reason for excitement in your fb a/cs or whatever social sites you follow.....here number doesn't count......only a genuine person who is interested in outgrowing his lower nature matters.....others don't.....

and that can be anyone....not necessarily a reiki channel......anyone who wants to know reason for his suffering or situation has right to know the answers and also how to get out of it....and hence i ask you to forward it to non-reiki channels too......even if ONLY ONE among them benefits then you can feel happy about the change that you brought in his/her life.....

these topics are to be discussed only with people who are interested in it.....not because they are MASTERS.....  

look within and ask such of questions that i ask you to ask self, you will benefit more that way......at every point i am trying to connect you with yourself and only who do the homework given will benefit completely through it..........

Coin in the mud

Me, My Guru

Coin in the mud

I was highly excited since two days. Last 10 days I’ve been, like our group was working on couple of her statements and I came out with lots of examples, insights, understanding. Hence, I was excited to share with ‘Her’ and all others today at our meet. I knew they too would pour out their experiences and today would be a blast. Just this thought gave me a high that I couldn’t describe. I was literally giggling as I open the gate of ‘our place’. When her place became ‘our place’ we didn’t remember but we often referred to as ‘our place’ of late!

 

She was sitting under peepul tree and others on the ground. Ofcourse, they had spread few carpets on the grass. I joined all others. She was on phone and we snatched those moments to exchange pleasantries.

 

The moment she was off the phone, we started off with our experiences and understanding, she listened attentively. Not a word escaped her lips which were smiling all through. When we completed our talk and explanations, Priay asked “So, what do you think of our insights?”

“An old man” she started “would go for walk daily. He enjoyed his walks. He would look at flowers, smile at kids, waved at his acquaintances. He always felt refreshed after such walks. One day he hurt his leg with a stone on the pat. His wife shouted at him and said “That’s why I ask you to look down while walking”. That day he felt she had a point and started looking down while walking and lo he found Rs.5/- coin in the mud. He was highly excited and happy. 

 

Now, he became more conscious of walking with head bent. He felt bad for all the coins that he had missed all these years. He felt jealous of people who got it. He looked around and he felt that he was surrounded by thieves.  “How could someone take others’ money lying in the mud just like that” he thought. Honesty was a dead thing in people. The ice-cream that Mr. Khanna purchased daily could’ve been with such Rs.5- coins that he got daily. What a cheat! He felt bad the he was friends with such people with all these years.
