We love to remember our departed kith and kin including Parents and siblings. It is a strange experience the days which follow after the last rites. At times we dream them, we feel their presence.
So many are immortal today who belong to the past history but they are remembered.They do inspire us stimulate us. At times they conduce us into a deep silence to interrogate what is next?
Sooner or later man is influenced in pursuit of his eternal quest- Who am I? Where did I come from? Where am I now? We plan and calculate our time. Ultimately a time comes to lay down the Armour and feel helpless, lonely, no one has time to pay attention. We may then begin to think our past and discover that we could have lived still better. To think of the future, silence envelopes. our remarks become only an echo but the nature listens, nature speaks through silence, for nature is a Mother who never feels us as a burden

Scorching Sun, pricking skin
puffing of rashes causing scraches
Vow what irritation for lack of gentle breeze
Yet beneath the Mother Nature
flowing of gentle breeze to venture
caressing every creature
currents of peace dashing all over
O goodness of Mother Nature!
You nourish me with pleasure
even without that I am of you aware

Yea I am experimenting a strong weapon. If anyone hurts me I smile not that I wish to compromise with evil but it is the eternal law to love always even at the adversity lest we shall not attain eternity. The gain with pain is mightier than hundred bombs you explode in the pretext of providing justice and security. Who has proved that fear can chase away the terror when you have caused your neighbour to be in tear?. The tear I shall shed do you believe that you have won? Didn't Jesus offer His back to be flogged without any defence? Didn't He gain glory for all eternity?Body may decay. You might have met your revenge but the history will play a constant music. Love and forgiveness shall triumph. Amorem vincet omnia

A SINCERE FRIENDSHIP CROSSES THE HIGH BORDERS IT GOES DOWN AND DOWN AT THE SERVICE OF THE LOVED ONE BUT THE BEAUTY OF THE SOUL EMERGES HIGHER AND HIGHER BY SPARKLING SPENDOUR AND PURITY AND THE INNOCENCE. IT DELIGHTS THE HEARTS, ELEVATES THE DRENCHED SPIRIT AND ENABLES TO FIND A NEW MEANIG. TELL ME FRIENDS DO YOU AFREE?

When persons demonstrate a sincere and faithful friendship
Blended by sharing eternal values even with a short phrase
Which is capable to explode like a dynamo
Which yields eternal and lasting positive change,
When people are not afraid to criticize for a genuine growth
And when people ready to accept the blows and betrayals
Unshaken by adversities and criticism
When people’s inner reservoir is only goodness and peace
When people tell but allow one to make his own choice
When people forgive the prodigal son and accept him
By crowning him with all love and compassion
When people believe that they can grow wrong
When they accept a suggestion from those inferior to them
Friends tell me is it not a self realization or success?
When a person with simplicity strives to excel and reach the peak
But in heart remains at the roots which erected him once
When one know to bend his knees towards the lowly to share a meal
And take a new coat to cover up those who are naked
Tell me friends is it not the real victory of life?

I read the article on success written by Dinakara Rao and still going on ruminating it

Declare your love with words and expression of gestures
With such emotion, struggling to speak with flowing tears
Shattered with confusion, waiting for the beloved’s cheers
Waiting, sighing and watching under the memory’s showers.

Feel dejected for being brushed off without care
Finding weak helpless against the hateful snare
You might break down with sobs uttering ‘not fair”
Honesty defied, trust betrayed unwilling to share.

Afraid to share under the shadow of prejudice.
Unwilling to make a first move with an avarice,
Hurled in the kitchen floor searching for a device.
Hoping to be able to cut down just as per size

But tell me what you gained with your revenge
It’s an art to win every soul with love to avenge
All bow before the humble this is the true wage
Seek wisdom, act with reason and be a wise sage

Why to hurt the people with cartoons
Compromise with mockery and wit
But the great wisdom is not to hit
To wound hearts with blind prejudices

It’s good to laugh and have fun
But is it at the fall of others?
Sustain the slipped lest he may fall
Hate the sin but embrace the sinner.

It’s something different, you shake the mountain
With your prudence’s demand attract the fountain
At the time of your adversity you find them sustain
With a benevolent craft your lion share you obtain

Beauty’s web is an enchanting bliss
Elegant charm spraying divine grace
Aglow flames rippling round all eyes
Untying frown impelling one to kiss.
Tender looks docile with gliding race
In her core down deep with such ease
Flashing grace through her angel face
Utmost care to sparkle beyond space
Lovely speech with rhythmic verse

Celebrations eating and feasting
Giving gifts costly and superficial
How do you feel when you discover?
That your gift has been spilled out in vain
without finding the sweet happiness of using
But you found it deep into a dusty bin

Wasn’t it was of love and hard labour to earn?
Does one ever appreciate your pocket’s reward?
Why are you tempted into spending
For those gifts that others can't afford?
Remember that the millions starve even in rich counties?
Waiting for someone who may find sympathy
To quench the thirst and hunger

Your charity redeems the acute pangs of the hunger
It adds your grace if you make a miserable smile
In giving there is rich and varied treasure,
In their healing you shall find shining pleasure
Granting ample joy to those who without care,
Those with pain they have none to share.

SWEET QUEEN SLEEP

What a joy after a day’s fatigue on the bed to linger
When Queen Sleep embraces you under the cover
Under sweet dreams you descend deeper and deeper
Surrender in peace losing your self, now slumber

You were worn out after the day’s task that linger
And now the Queen Sleep restores you for better
The new intuition under wisdom’s splendour
You shine radiant and candid for a new adventure.

Sweetly I repose oh! Richness of great Peace
My Mom when she rocked me on her knees
Those golden days from my mind never seize
It’s my joy to sleep and be free from disease

In my suffering I found none to share
The Queen sleep alone freed my snare
In my dream an angel bright and fair
He smiled at me with the oil of care

At the dawn of the day a ray did shine
The night’s dream for me was a wine
Smiling I leapt for the grace divine
With renewed joy and new zeal fine

WHEN BUDDHA LAUGHS!

WHEN BUDDHA LAUGHS

Well it’s true! I believe that we can sense the presence of something out of this world at least once in a day. If you analyse your day’s activities, certainly you will find some positive things happened to you which you had never anticipated. Well when I meditate, I sometimes feel that the God is laughing at us .Let me share some of these things with you.

Buddha laughs when people bargain with the God. He laughs when they give bribe to Almighty. When they promise to do pooja or abhishek if they get what they want. When they play the game of Give & Take.

Buddha laughs when people donate something with the intention of gaining 10 times that. He laughs loudly when he sees that people ignore the crying child, who desperately needs food and give Prasad to God. He laughs at their ignorance.

Buddha laughs when people pluck the flower without the permission of the plant. They never experience the beauty of the flower on the plant but pluck it ruthlessly to devote it to the God. They never realise that this flower is creation of the God itself and in fact we have no right to pluck that. Let me tell you one thing .Nature treats everyone on the equal basis. For nature the life of an ant has same value as the life of a human being. We from nowhere, with no basis start believing that ‘I am the most important person in this world.’ Buddha laughs on this jejune attitude.

Buddha laughs when people donate thousands and lakhs of rupees and insist to have their name to be announced or to put it on the board. What is going on here? To whom you are giving? My friends, He is the almighty. All the things in this world and many other worlds [I don’t know how many of them are there] belong to him only. Human being is really on of the great creatures. People try to give back His things on their name. Instead of donating the money to the really needy people they try bribe the almighty. On Top of that they first expect the results in advance then they promise to give back something. Buddha laughs when they think that they can cheat God and will get what they want.

Buddha laughs when people use the ultimate tool to Enlightenment: The Yoga/Meditation for reducing their weight and curing their dieses. He laughs when people ask some Baba “I have Diabetes, I am overweight, I have this dieses, that dieses .Will Pranayama help me overcoming these dieses?” My friends, the yoga is not meant for these things. Getting a perfect health is the bi-product of yoga but unfortunately this tool is positioned as dieses curing technique. Buddha laughs when he sees this.

Buddha laughs when in the name of God people blindly become followers of saints. The latest incident which took place at the Mumbai Airport is a paragon example of this. Around 500 so called Bhaktas of Narendra Maharaj blocked the entrance and exit to protest against the Airport Authority, leaving no option for the police but to lathicharge. As many as 50 people were seriously injured .Buddha laughs when we try to achieve peace with violence. He laughs seeing men shouting, yelling while giving the teachings of peace.

Buddha laughs when someone expects getting into the IIM’s with just three-four months of preparation. He also laughs when someone expects to get into the Harvard, The Stanford but sleeps for 8 hours a day, he never stick to his time table, never put full stop on his negative thoughts and most of the time never get out of his inferiority complex.

Try to see what is going on here! Analyse the things with a free mind. I believe that our lives have become nothing but a huge paradox. We expect something and then do exactly opposite of that. We have one outer personality and one inner personality to which we seldom listen. Most of the time we try to prove the things which we don’t posses. In my opinion we remove these contradictions from our lives and align our whole energy of our both personalities in one single direction then we will get exactly what we want. In this case we will be proud of what we have achieved and there will not be trace of guilt in our mind.

Well, its great game that Hide & seek that God plays with us all the time. There is great fun playing this game and when you find His presence in any activity, it gives real pleasure. I believe this is what great people like Swami Vivekananda & Osho call as awareness i.e. seeing the things as they are, understanding their purpose and doing them without a trace of Ego. Well I don’t know really.

Just create that Awareness.
