A Strange Traveller

Aim unimaginably high.

Journey excitingly unending.

Distance interestingly long.

Roads many to make a choice.

Time less to enjoy the fullest.

Destination mysteriously unknown.

Thoughts magically neverending.

Mind always wandering.

Heart ready to love & to be loved.

Soul unspoiled, pure & Divine.

 

Mind

   

She is filled with thoughts.

She is keen to learn more.

She falls only because of her shy.

She falls and rises to the sky.

She aims to become a star – yet

Something pulls her to the ground.

Her mind is filled with sadness – yet

She hopes she will definetly suceed.

Life teaches her everything and

It has everything to heal her wounds.

She emerges with grace and

confidence that she will suceed

A Great Victory.

 

Life

 

 

Life is always so wonderful and unbelievably exciting.

Each aspect of life is mysterious and adventurous.

 

Life brings a wrapped gift everyday for each one of us.

It unveils the most mysterious things with a gentle breeze.

Life’s multiple dimensions are very interesting to be experienced with.

 

Each one has got unique things to experience and learn from it.

Every aspect of life is so mingled with nature that nature becomes the other name of life.

Life moves the nature way and it unveils new things every minute.

 

Without this adventure in life, life would be a miserable hell.

Even a very tiny movement of nature inspires us,

like when we see a sparrow pass away with a quick note

we feel energised.

 

This is life.

Observe every second for nature may reveal something really

unexpected and new to you the next moment.

 

Nature is lively, And Life is natural.

Dreams

                       Dreams

           

 My first known dream was of a large fleet of huge and gigantic penguins landing from the sky. The fleet neared our home and ran to backyard to inform my mother of the penguins. It was a really thrilling experience. They landed from the sky into the streets and entered our home. We both hided in one of the rooms and suddenly they broke into our home and searched for people. They were about to break into our room that I awoke. 

 

Another exciting dream is of a thrilling ride sitting with my father in a motor bike. We were riding from our home to somewhere, that the missiles started firing from the sky. My father twisted and turned and ridded the bike heroically. And then we reached a building were the steps are half damaged. If we climb till first floor there wont be a platform to go to the steps for the second floor, and we have to jump and move to next set of steps. After climbing we enter a room where some sort of research is going on and the chief scientist there is actor Arjun. They were working on some project to catch terrorists. The terrorist’s photographs were being loaded in the super computer and worked upon to know the probable appearances to which they could have switched to and try to escape. And then we reached the airport, where the scientist suspects two people, a girl and a man with her. He touches their shoulders. When they turn around the scientist finds that they match with one of their suspected appearance change. Finally they caught them red handed. Isn’t this an interesting one?

 

                    

   Now the dream is about lots ferocious elephants chasing me and my friends. We were heading for a tour to a wildlife sanctuary. All of us were sitting in the tourist bus. Our staff came and said “why you are sitting in the front go to the backside of the bus”. Hence we went backside. Surprising! We saw that there was a minature hostel room in the bus. We all jumped into the bed and slept. Next day we were on the sanctuary. All of us were wandering around that suddenly a few dozens of elephants started running ferociously towards us. We all ran in different directions and for more than a thirty minutes and then we take a side and elephants passed us. Then we felt relieved and took deep breath that the elephants came back from that direction. Everyone started running again. Everyone took a different path and I took a different one towards a tiny hill and the elephants left me started chasing the rest of the people. How’s it?

 

A Nice Story To Inspire

A water bearer in China had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole
which he carried across his neck.. One of the pots had a crack in it, while
the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water.
At the end of the long walk from the stream to the house, the cracked pot
arrived only half full.
For a full two years this went on daily, with the bearer delivering only one
and a half pots full of water to his house.
Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments, perfect for
which it was made.
But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable
that it was able to accomplish only half of what it had been made to do.
After 2 years of what it perceived to be a bitter failure, it spoke to the
water bearer one day by the stream.
"I am ashamed of myself, and because this crack in my side causes water to
leak out all the way back to your house."
The bearer said to the pot,
"Did you notice that there were flowers only on your side of the path, but
not on the other pot’s side?
That’s because I have always known about your flaw, and I planted flower
seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back,you’ve
watered them.
For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate
the table. Without you being just the way you are, there would not be this
beauty to grace the house"
Moral: Each of us has our own unique flaws. We’re all cracked pots.
But it’s the cracks and flaws we each have that make our lives together so
very interesting and rewarding.
You’ve just got to take each person for what they are, and look for the good
in them.

One Mind

The human mind is a dangerous graveyard. In that how many thoughts are sleeping in the memory graveyard!

The mind has got only a one way path. The mind which knows to remember, cannot forget things. The mind gets excited with the happiness and the moments of sadness gets carried away by tears.

Without the occurrence of the divine state of seeing happiness and sadness as one and the same, we cannot cure our mind’s painfulness.

                             Mind is the center stone of the human temple.

                   ‘We will become the thing, which we think of intermittently in our mind’ says the Upanishads. ‘A person thinking of the light becomes illuminant. A person thinking of sex becomes a sex maniac. A person always thinking of truth will become the crown of truth’ insists the Hindu Mythology.

People with ‘One Mind, One Thought’ became great achievers in the world.

While performing the Ananda bairavi raga, if the mind mingles with the kalyani raga, then the performance will become a waste of time for the listeners. In whichever thing we indulge ourselves, our mind should go together with that thing.

                   It was the time when Swami Vivekananda went to America and hoisted the flag of Indian spirituality high on the sky.

While he was walking down the streets of America, some    youngsters were trying shot down the egg shells tied on a rope as part of their training. None of them was able to shoot even a single egg shell.

Swami Vivekananda went asked those people to offer him a chance. Those people saw his saint dress and asked “do you have a training to shoot”. Swami Vivekananda said “Friends! Till now I haven’t touched the pistol. Now only I am going to see it for the first time. Yet I have the confidence that I can aim and shoot the egg shells without fail”.  

Without any idea that he will be able to shoot and with a humiliating smile they gave the pistol to him. Swami Vivekananda stabilized his mind, and saw the egg shells hanging sharply. And then, he started shooting with the pistol and he shot all of the egg shells.

The youngsters exclaimed “how is it possible”

Swami Vivekananda said “If we were able to get the “One Mind, One thought” state then everything in this world is possible”.

The world will worship those who live with the “One Mind, One Thought” concept. A very good example for this is Lord Buddha.

He left the palace and all its pleasures, and went to forest to find the true way to get rid all miseries in the human life. He sat on for silent worship for nearly six months. No on ever have done this like Lord Buddha.

He tried to concentrate his mind to a single state without bothering about heat, rain, storm, winds, hunger and thirst. Even when his body became thin, his skin and bone came together and got dry, eyes went into the eyeball, even when his 12^th rib was seen outside he continued his hard worship, yet he couldn’t control his mind.

Finally he got the result when he went and sat under a peepal tree and sat on pullasana.     He sat with a firm mind that ‘I would not get up from this asana till I achieve the state of divinity, let my skin and bone burn, let my body melt, let my blood get dry’.

Then one Vaisaka poornima day [full moon day], when the moon spread its streaks of light, Siddhartha became Lord Buddha.

That same boy, who spent his boyhood in poverty, became the leader of a car company and became the richest man in America. He is Henry Ford.

When asked about his secret of success, he said “When we target on our aim and train our mind towards it, then the raw material for success will automatically reach us. When our mind gets concentrated on a single thought, then any kind of success is possible for anyone”.

‘Yoga’ means ‘getting ourselves involved’. In whatever we do, our mind should get involved in it; this is what is called ‘Yoga’. Explaining this concept A Great Indian Poet “Bharathiar” said “A neat barber is better than a Brahmin who chants Veda wrongly”.

At one point of time we should concentrate our mind on one single aim. If we turn towards ten directions, then we can’t rule even one.

We should remember the words of the poet John Milton ‘Thoughts that rise in our mind can change hell into heaven and heaven into hell’.

A life without ups and downs is like a music without upper notes and lower notes! In that there is neither a essence nor a beauty.

The cold December and the hot march together is time. The happiness and sorrows together is life. Who in this world is without a source less depression, an unreasonable hatred and bad memories that make us cry?

A heart injured with a sorrowful incidence and a fake smile in our lips. People suffering this should destroy the thousands of sorrows buried deep in mind, and learn to live a life with ‘One Mind, One Thought’.

Unity of mind! Is what the Veda of life we have to learn.
