It is a strange experience the days which follow after the last rites. At times we dream them, we feel their presence.&lt;br&gt;
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?&lt;br&gt;
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
&lt;/p&gt;

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

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

With such emotion, struggling to speak with flowing tears&lt;br&gt;
Shattered with confusion, waiting for the beloved’s cheers&lt;br&gt;
Waiting, sighing and watching under the memory’s showers.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Feel dejected for being brushed off without care&lt;br&gt;
Finding weak helpless against the hateful snare&lt;br&gt;
You might break down with sobs uttering ‘not fair”&lt;br&gt;
Honesty defied, trust betrayed unwilling to share.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Afraid to share under the shadow of prejudice.&lt;br&gt;
Unwilling to make a first move with an avarice,&lt;br&gt;
Hurled in the kitchen floor searching for a device.&lt;br&gt;
Hoping to be able to cut down just as per size&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;But tell me what you gained with your revenge&lt;br&gt;
It’s an art to win every soul with love to avenge&lt;br&gt;
All bow before the humble this is the true wage&lt;br&gt;
Seek wisdom, act with reason and be a wise sage &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Why to hurt the people with cartoons&lt;br&gt;
Compromise with mockery and wit&lt;br&gt;
But the great wisdom is not to hit&lt;br&gt;
To wound hearts with blind prejudices&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;It’s good to laugh and have fun&lt;br&gt;
But is it at the fall of others?&lt;br&gt;
Sustain the slipped lest he may fall&lt;br&gt;
Hate the sin but embrace the sinner.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;It’s something different, you shake the mountain&lt;br&gt;
With your prudence’s demand attract the fountain&lt;br&gt;
At the time of your adversity you find them sustain&lt;br&gt;
With a benevolent craft your lion share you obtain&lt;/p&gt;

Giving gifts costly and superficial&lt;br&gt;
How do you feel when you discover?&lt;br&gt;
That your gift has been spilled out in vain&lt;br&gt;
without finding the sweet happiness of using&lt;br&gt;
But you found it deep into a dusty bin&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Wasn’t it was of love and hard labour to earn?&lt;br&gt;
Does one ever appreciate your pocket’s reward?&lt;br&gt;
Why are you tempted into spending&lt;br&gt;
For those gifts that others can't afford?&lt;br&gt;
Remember that the millions starve even in rich counties?&lt;br&gt;
Waiting for someone who may find sympathy&lt;br&gt;
To quench the thirst and hunger&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Your charity redeems the acute pangs of the hunger&lt;br&gt;
It adds your grace if you make a miserable smile&lt;br&gt;
In giving there is rich and varied treasure,&lt;br&gt;
In their healing you shall find  shining pleasure&lt;br&gt;
Granting ample joy to those who without care,&lt;br&gt;
Those with pain  they have none to share.&lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;What a joy after a day’s fatigue on the bed to linger&lt;br&gt;
When Queen Sleep embraces you under the cover&lt;br&gt;
Under sweet dreams you descend deeper and deeper&lt;br&gt;
Surrender in peace losing your self, now slumber &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;You were worn out after the day’s task that linger&lt;br&gt;
And now the Queen Sleep restores you for better&lt;br&gt;
The new intuition under wisdom’s splendour&lt;br&gt;
You shine radiant and candid for a new adventure.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Sweetly I repose oh! Richness of great Peace&lt;br&gt;
My Mom when she rocked me on her knees&lt;br&gt;
Those golden days from my mind never seize&lt;br&gt;
It’s my joy to sleep and be free from disease &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;In my suffering I found none to share&lt;br&gt;
The Queen sleep alone freed my snare&lt;br&gt;
In my dream an angel bright and fair&lt;br&gt;
He smiled at me with the oil of care &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;At the dawn of the day a ray did shine&lt;br&gt;
The night’s dream for me was a wine&lt;br&gt;
Smiling I leapt for the grace divine&lt;br&gt;
With renewed joy and new zeal fine&lt;/p&gt;

I am not the author of this article&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;WHEN BUDDHA LAUGHS!&lt;br&gt;
 by:   Sanket Mali on Dec 14 2005 2:10AM in Religion&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;                             WHEN BUDDHA LAUGHS&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;               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.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;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 &amp; Take.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt; 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.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;          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.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;            Well, its great game that Hide &amp; 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 &amp; 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.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;         Just create that Awareness.
&lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;THIS ARTICLE IS NOT WRITTEN BY ME BUT  PASTED WHICH WAS WRITTEN BY  Baab Mallya on May 27 2006&lt;br&gt;
i O DO IT ONLY TO SHARE IT WITH THE READERS BECAUSE i LIKE IT. BUT i REPEAT THAT i AM NOT THE AUTHOR OF THIS ARTICLE&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;I pray for all of us, oppressor and friend, that together we succeed in building a better world through human under-standing and love, and that in doing so we may reduce the pain and suffering of all sentient beings - Dalai Lama&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Discovery of His Holiness 14th Dalai Lama&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;His Holiness the Dalai Lama was born in a peasant family on July 6th, 1935, in a small village called Taktser in north eastern Tibet. His Holiness was recognised at the age of two as the reincarnation of his predecessor the 13th Dalai Lama.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;When the 13th Dalai Lama passed away in 1935, the task that confronted the Tibetan Government was not simply to appoint a successor but to search for and discover a child in whom the Buddha of Compassion would incarnate.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;In 1935 the Regent of Tibet went to the sacred lake of Lhamo Lhatso at Chokhorgyal, about 90 miles south east of Lhasa, the capital of Tibet. For centuries the Tibetans had observed that visions of the future could be seen in this lake. The Regent had a vision of three Tibetan letters, Ah, Ka, and Ma, followed by a picture of a monastery with roofs of jade green and gold, and a house with turquoise tiles. In 1937 high lamas and dignitaries carrying the secrets of the vision were sent to all parts of Tibet in search of the place that the Regent had seen in the waters. The search party that headed east was under the leadership of Lama Kewtsang Rinpoche of Sera Monastery. When they arrived in Amdo, they found a place matching the description of the secret vision. The party went to the house with Kewtsang Rinpoche disguised as the servant, and junior official Lobsang Tsewang disguised as the leader. The Rinpoche was wearing a rosary that had belonged to the 13th Dalai Lama, and the little boy of the house recognised it and demanded that it be given to him. Kewtsang Rinpoche promised to give it to him if he could guess who he was, and the boy replied that he was "Sera aga", which means in the local dialect "a lama of Sera". Then the Rinpoche asked who the leader was and the boy gave his name correctly; he also knew the name of the real servant. This was followed by a series of tests that included the choosing of correct articles that had belonged to the 13th Dalai Lama.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;With these tests they were further convinced that the reincarnation had been found and their conviction was enhanced by the significance of the three letters that had been seen in the lake of Lhamo Lhatso: Ah could stand for Amdo, the name of the province; Ka for Kumbum, one of the largest monasteries in the neighbourhood; and the two letters Ka and Ma for the monastery of Karma Rolpai Dorje on the mountain above the village. In 1940 the XIVth Dalai Lama was enthroned.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;The Dalai Lama's biography&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;His Holiness the 14th the Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso, is the head of state and spiritual leader of the Tibetan people. He was born Lhamo Dhondrub on 6 July 1935, in a small village called Taktser in northeastern Tibet. Born to a peasant family, His Holiness was recognized at the age of two, in accordance with Tibetan tradition, as the reincarnation of his predecessor the 13th Dalai Lama, and thus an incarnation Avalokitesvara, the Buddha of Compassion.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;The Dalai Lamas are the manifestations of the Bodhisattva (Buddha) of Compassion, who chose to reincarnate to serve the people. Lhamo Dhondrub was, as Dalai Lama, renamed Jetsun Jamphel Ngawang Lobsang Yeshe Tenzin Gyatso - Holy Lord, Gentle Glory, Compassionate, Defender of the Faith, Ocean of Wisdom. Tibetans normally refer to His Holiness as Yeshe Norbu, the Wishfulfilling Gem or simply Kundun - The Presence.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;The enthronement ceremony took place on February 22, 1940 in Lhasa, the capital of Tibet.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Education in Tibet&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;He began his education at the age of six and completed the Geshe Lharampa Degree (Doctorate of Buddhist Philosophy) when he was 25 in 1959. At 24, he took the preliminary examinations at each of the three monastic universities: Drepung, Sera and Ganden. The final examination was conducted in the Jokhang, Lhasa during the annual Monlam Festival of Prayer, held in the first month of every year Tibetan calendar.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Leadership Responsibilities&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;On November 17, 1950, His Holiness was called upon to assume full political power (head of the State and Government) after some 80,000 Peoples Liberation Army soldiers invaded Tibet. In 1954, he went to Beijing to talk peace with Mao Tse-tung and other Chinese leaders, including Chou En-lai and Deng Xiaoping. In 1956, while visiting India to attend the 2500th Buddha Jayanti Anniversary, he had a series of meetings with Prime Minister Nehru and Premier Chou about deteriorating conditions in Tibet.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;His efforts to bring about a peaceful solution to Sino-Tibetan conflict were thwarted by Bejing's ruthless policy in Eastern Tibet, which ignited a popular uprising and resistance. This resistance movement spread to other parts of the country. On 10 March 1959 the capital of Tibet, Lhasa, exploded with the largest demonstration in Tibetan history, calling on China to leave Tibet and reaffirming Tibet's independence. The Tibetan National Uprising was brutally crushed by the Chinese army. His Holiness escaped to India where he was given political asylum. Some 80,000 Tibetan refugees followed His Holiness into exile. Today, there are more than 120,000 Tibetan in exile. Since 1960, he has resided in Dharamsala, India, known as "Little Lhasa," the seat of the Tibetan Government-in-exile.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;In the early years of exile, His Holiness appealed to the United Nations on the question of Tibet, resulting in three resolutions adopted by the General Assembly in 1959, 1961, and 1965, calling on China to respect the human rights of Tibetans and their desire for self-determination. With the newly constituted Tibetan Government-in-exile, His Holiness saw that his immediate and urgent task was to save the both the Tibetan exiles and their culture alike. Tibetan refugees were rehabilitated in agricultural settlements. Economic development was promoted and the creation of a Tibetan educational system was established to raise refugee children with full knowledge of their language, history, religion and culture. The Tibetan Institute of Performing Arts was established in 1959, while the Central Institute of Higher Tibetan Studies became a university for Tibetans in India. Over 200 monasteries have been re-established to preserve the vast corpus of Tibetan Buddhist teachings, the essence of the Tibetan way of life.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;In 1963, His Holiness promulgated a democratic constitution, based on Buddhist principles and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as a model for a future free Tibet. Today, members of the Tibetan parliament are elected directly by the people. The members of the Tibetan Cabinet are elected by the parliament, making the Cabinet answerable to the Parliament. His Holiness has continuously emphasized the need to further democratise the Tibetan administration and has publicly declared that once Tibet regains her independence he will not hold political office.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;In Washington, D.C., at the Congressional Human Rights Caucus in 1987, he proposed a Five-Point Peace Plan as a first step toward resolving the future status of Tibet. This plan calls for the designation of Tibet as a zone of peace, an end to the massive transfer of ethnic Chinese into Tibet, restoration of fundamental human rights and democratic freedoms, and the abandonment of China's use of Tibet for nuclear weapons production and the dumping of nuclear waste, as well as urging "earnest negotiations" on the future of Tibet.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;In Strasbourg, France, on 15 June 1988, he elaborated the Five-Point Peace Plan and proposed the creation of a self-governing democratic Tibet, "in association with the People's Republic of China."&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;On 2 September 1991, the Tibetan Government-in-exile declared the Strasbourg Proposal invalid because of the closed and negative attitude of the present Chinese leadership towards the ideas expressed in the proposal.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;On 9 October 1991, during an address at Yale University in the United States, His Holiness said that he wanted to visit Tibet to personally assess the political situation. He said, "I am extremely anxious that, in this explosive situation, violence may break out. I want to do what I can to prevent this.... My visit would be a new opportunity to promote understanding and create a basis for a negotiated solution."&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Contact with West and East&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Since 1967, His Holiness initiated a series of journeys which have taken him to some 46 nations. In autumn of 1991, he visited the Baltic States at the invitation of Lithuanian President Vytautas Landsbergis of Lithuania and became the first foreign leader to address the Lithuanian Parliament. His Holiness met with the late Pope Paul VI at the Vatican in 1973. At a press conference in Rome in 1980, he outlined his hopes for the meeting with John Paul II: "We live in a period of great crisis, a period of troubling world developments. It is not possible to find peace in the soul without security and harmony between peoples. For this reason, I look forward with faith and hope to my meeting with the Holy Father; to an exchange of ideas and feelings, and to his suggestions, so as to open the door to a progressive pacification between peoples." His Holiness met Pope John Paul II at the Vatican in 1980, 1982, 1986, 1988 and 1990. In 1981, His Holiness talked with Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Robert Runcie, and with other leaders of the Anglican Church in London. He also met with leaders of the Roman Catholic and Jewish communities and spoke at an interfaith service held in his honor by the World Congress of Faiths: "I always believe that it is much better to have a variety of religions, a variety of philosophies, rather than one single religion or philosophy. This is necessary because of the different mental dispositions of each human being. Each religion has certain unique ideas or techniques, and learning about them can only enrich one's own faith."&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Recognition and Awards&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Since his first visit to the west in the early 1973, a number of western universities and institutions have conferred Peace Awards and honorary Doctorate Degrees in recognition of His Holiness' distinguished writings in Buddhist philosophy and for his leadership in the solution of international conflicts, human rights issues and global environmental problems. In presenting the Raoul Wallenberg Congressional Human Rights Award in 1989, U.S. Congressman Tom Lantos said, "His Holiness the Dalai Lama's courageous struggle has distinguished him as a leading proponent of human rights and world peace. His ongoing efforts to end the suffering of the Tibetan people through peaceful negotiations and reconciliation have required enormous courage and sacrifice."&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;The 1989 Nobel Peace Prize&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;The Norwegian Nobel Committee's decision to award the 1989 Peace Prize to His Holiness the Dalai Lama won worldwide praise and applause, with exception of China. The CommitteeÕs citation read, "The Committee wants to emphasize the fact that the Dalai Lama in his struggle for the liberation of Tibet consistently has opposed the use of violence. He has instead advocated peaceful solutions based upon tolerance and mutual respect in order to preserve the historical and cultural heritage of his people."&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;On 10 December 1989, His Holiness accepted the prize on the behalf of oppressed everywhere and all those who struggle for freedom and work for world peace and the people of Tibet. In his remarks he said, "The prize reaffirms our conviction that with truth, courage and determination as our weapons, Tibet will be liberated. Our struggle must remain nonviolent and free of hatred."&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;He also had a message of encouragement for the student-led democracy movement in China. "In China the popular movement for democracy was crushed by brutal force in June this year. But I do not believe the demonstrations were in vain, because the spirit of freedom was rekindled among the Chinese people and China cannot escape the impact of this spirit of freedom sweeping in many parts of the world. The brave students and their supporters showed the Chinese leadership and the world the human face of that great nations."&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;A Simple Buddhist monk&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;His Holiness often says, "I am just a simple Buddhist monk - no more, nor less."&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;His Holiness follows the life of Buddhist monk. Living in a small cottage in Dharamsala, he rises at 4 A.M. to meditate, pursues an ongoing schedule of administrative meetings, private audiences and religious teachings and ceremonies. He concludes each day with further prayer before retiring. In explaining his greatest sources of inspiration, he often cites a favorite verse, found in the writings of the renowned eighth century Buddhist saint Shantideva:&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;For as long as space endures&lt;br&gt;
And for as long as living beings remain,&lt;br&gt;
Until then may I too abide&lt;br&gt;
To dispel the misery of the world.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;For as long as space endures&lt;br&gt;
And for as long as living beings remain,&lt;br&gt;
Until then may I too abide&lt;br&gt;
To dispel the misery of the world.&lt;/p&gt;

They peep to have its glimpse even losing own beauty&lt;br&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;Many believe that a sound personality has been formed by genetic inheritance, childhood environment the life events and the combination of good luck. Yet no one set of genesis common to successful people. Success stories are cot common to all It is doubtful that our genetic coding has a time-release mechanism. People raised in poorer neighborhood do have a higher evidence of crime and failures in life. It can work other way too. People raised in poverty have gone to achieve enormous success while the upper class people and the royalties are reduced to utter misery. Success does not appear to be guaranteed by environmental factors alone.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Some believe that the luck determines success. But it isn’t that amazing that those people who are well prepared to seize an opportunity usually seem to have luck. Luck is available to us all. But we should be ready to seek the opportunity. . We should be ready to take risk, ready to take advantage of being in the right place at the right time. . Most success people say that they prepare their own luck.&lt;br&gt;
Success may depend on our attitudes. Attitudes our emotional leanings. They cause us think in a certain way. Our attitudes are the choices we make. To believe or not to believe in particular aspects. We are born with natural and Potential Ocean of creativity to acquire efficient skill and have mastery over our

First language is the language which the child learns first hence from its mother or Parents. It is the language a person learns first. Can we but call that person as the native speaker of the language? If the Parents speak an acquired language for example English and if they communicate that language to the child can we call that language as Mother tongue? If the native speakers speak more than one language to communicate with their neighbours who come from different place than which language can be considered as Mother tongue? Which language is native language and which language can be the first language and which language can be considered as the second language? If all of the languages are learned naturally without formal instruction, such as through cultural immersion before puberty such a language can be called as mother tongue or the native language or the first local language. Often a child learns the basics of his or her first languages from his or her family. The term "mother tongue" should not be interpreted to mean that it is the language of one's mother. In some paternal societies, the wife moves in with the husband and thus may have a different first language, or dialect, than the local language of the husband. Yet their children usually only speak their local language. Only a few will learn to speak their mothers' languages like natives. Mother in this context probably originated from the definition of mother as source, or origin; as in mother-country or land First language learners will be successful in both measurements. It is inevitable that all first language learners will learn a first language and with few exceptions, they will be fully successful. Acquiring a second language occurs in systematic stages. Much evidence has been gathered to show that basic sounds, vocabulary, negating phrases, forming questions, using relative clauses, and so on are developed. This development is independent from input (we do not hear nor read language in this order), independent from learning situation (in the classroom or on the street), The second language has been acquired after childhood age with conscious effort. Learning the second language becomes a great difficulty to the learners also because the teachers of the second language may hold a degree but not efficient in mastering the language skill.

But the tiny puppy and the mitten in their innocent state can create a situation that inspires affection and entertainment then it is evident that the virtues and the vices are in the mind and not in the nature. Where there is purity , where there is innocence even the spontaneous opposite characters can live a life that brings in innocent joy and pure happiness .

So are we not on the perception that whether one is a psychologists, philosopher spiritualist, and economist and to any denomination that he belongs to… in every state of life there is a sense of that attaining tranquility, a Balance or a Budhahood…. Undisturbed at pain or gain, praise or blame but to attain that non accelerated state…Doing, or being in perfect harmony, to be in harmony with the self, to be in harmony with the neighbours unconditionally is it not man’s eternal quest ? The one who attains this state- BALANCE or that Budhahood is mightier than the dynamo that with his perfect quietitude can revolutionize the world as Buddha or Christ did.

	&lt;p&gt;The tree crowned with golden flower&lt;br&gt;

Beneath the morning sky’s splendour&lt;br&gt;
Someone touched upon my shoulder.&lt;/p&gt;

Loving echo! I Pray, hide from me never&lt;br&gt;
My Love I’m so enriched by your shower.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;The music of the chirping birds I did hear&lt;br&gt;
A lullaby song enchanted I did slumber&lt;br&gt;
Loneliness fled and without anyone near&lt;br&gt;
Love awakened with new faith so sure.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;I woke up and gazed around the river&lt;br&gt;
The flowers bloomed, sweetest odour&lt;br&gt;
My lungs relaxed I began to see clear&lt;br&gt;
There’s hidden God’s healing power.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;I discovered o sure nature is a Mother&lt;br&gt;
Who bears the burden with her power&lt;br&gt;
She dandles us upon her knee so tender&lt;br&gt;
She feeds, she heals, she fails us never&lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;Many poor destitute and widows knocked at your door&lt;br&gt;
You enquired and grinned saying you are not a fool to be cheated&lt;br&gt;
As your end came near some suggested conduct a rite&lt;br&gt;
To liberate your soul by donating a milking cow to the Guru&lt;br&gt;
And you finally agreed but not a cow with more milk to be a waste&lt;br&gt;
And then a cow with just two liters of milk- one to liberate your soul&lt;br&gt;
And one to be an offertory to the Guru as you dies your trunk is full&lt;br&gt;
Tell me grandpa which cause merits your deserving charity?&lt;br&gt;
Is it not worth if I use it for a worthy cause!&lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;...............&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;I woke up at the chirping sound of the birds&lt;br&gt;
And sat upon the bed listening to co pose words&lt;br&gt;
I couldn’t decipher the meaning of their sounds&lt;br&gt;
So I walked up to gaze through the window’s rods&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Two birds looked at each other touching their beaks&lt;br&gt;
Then they sang looking around plopping their wings&lt;br&gt;
They leaped up their necks listening the nature’s echoes.&lt;br&gt;
 Then they flew hopping on the twigs pecking the worms&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;I dashed out in the open air to breathe the fresh air&lt;br&gt;
In that placid air I felt being in mother’s arms&lt;br&gt;
I leaned upon the green carpet gazing the sunrise&lt;br&gt;
The Divine grace enveloped me like the dew on the grass&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Being aroused by the divine grace I gazed beneath the eyebrows&lt;br&gt;
The lights flashed before me like the calm waves&lt;br&gt;
Peace flooded my soul, my limbs were paralyzed&lt;br&gt;
I beheld an eye lined in blue and purple; yellow at the centre&lt;br&gt;
A star shining bright,; silence became a language&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Burning heat in the heart aching with pain like a wound&lt;br&gt;
Painful, acute but not willing that it escapes&lt;br&gt;
Wave raced upon my heart I perceived the Lord&lt;br&gt;
I felt attuned to Him and forgot the whole world&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;The heat cooled down calmness surrounded my self&lt;br&gt;
Filled with amazement I felt one in the divine&lt;br&gt;
When I realized, everything faded, gently I woke up&lt;br&gt;
I felt the thirst to see Him again but in vain I longed.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Love flooded my soul to serve the world&lt;br&gt;
With a smile greeting the unloved with compassion&lt;br&gt;
Bowing my head, acknowledging in them the divine&lt;br&gt;
Creating equality and universal brotherhood&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;To share my plate, to heed the starving,&lt;br&gt;
To bend my glass to purr out to the thirsty&lt;br&gt;
To cut my sheet to cover up the naked from his shame&lt;br&gt;
Thus render my cult to God and long to be His beloved&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;With this proposal I woke up like from a sleep&lt;br&gt;
Finding my limbs stiff as if paralyzed&lt;br&gt;
I called out my lord and asked for His grace&lt;br&gt;
The blood began to rush to regain my strength&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Slowly I began to move with reverence&lt;br&gt;
My hands and fingers aching with such pain&lt;br&gt;
But joy was floating in my soul with remembrance&lt;br&gt;
With a new zeal I rose up to serve my brethren&lt;/p&gt;

My dear friend why do you mourn?&lt;br&gt;
Slumbering at every jerk you yawn&lt;br&gt;
In despair now why do you groan?&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;You visit the Church with devotion&lt;br&gt;
Veiling and moaning for salvation&lt;br&gt;
Craving prosperity and promotion&lt;br&gt;
In your every strain victory to gain&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Your adversary makes you frown&lt;br&gt;
You do plan his doom and ruin&lt;br&gt;
Tell me now are you not a clown?&lt;br&gt;
Does God admit you put him down?&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Does the darkness dwell beneath the sun?&lt;br&gt;
Can the sun beam when the clouds frown?&lt;br&gt;
Seek God that the wisdom may you own&lt;br&gt;
Seeking God’s blessing is never a fun&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;At the light darkness will fade away&lt;br&gt;
With delight blessings will do sway&lt;br&gt;
Be upright, forgive and with joy pray&lt;br&gt;
Be cult an investment  for your  day&lt;/p&gt;

Danielscharles ' Blog inspired me to ask the same question what is love?&lt;br&gt;
Love is to acknowledge my relationship with otters. it is to recognise the role of each one. It is an unconditional disposition to perceive what the beloved needs and wants. It is to respect the choice of the beloved unconditionally. It is also a free disposition to allow the other to be as she is and never to compel the other what I expect her to be. Love is that love between Adam and Eve before they sinned. Love is kind, love is gentle love is mild love is pure love is altruistic. Love covers the multitude of sins of the others. Jesus says no greater love is there than to lay down one’s own life for his beloved. Love is to serve with liberty in spirit. Love is not slave. Love is a master who serves with simplicity. Love is to live and let others live. Love is to allow the others as they would like to be. Love is to seek the good, the welfare and the well being of oneself and those of all who surround him. Love is to live in peace and allow others to live in peace. Love is truth. Love is righteousness and faithfulness. Love is the disposition to immolate oneself for the survival and well being of the beloved. Love is the capacity to accept the neighbour. Love is to accept the criticism and seek one’s own growth. Love is to accept the criticizer and treat him as a friend and with gratitude. Love is t accept the self loss and promote the welfare of the beloved&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;And now I too ask you tell me what love is ?&lt;/p&gt;

I felt joy at your voice so tender&lt;br&gt;
I rushed to you clinging your knees&lt;br&gt;
I was too small to reach your face&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;At my guilt you called out my name&lt;br&gt;
I gently obliged to you without claim&lt;br&gt;
I didn’t like the idea to hurt my Mom&lt;br&gt;
Your love forbade me act with shame&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;You called out my name dear Mother&lt;br&gt;
For accomplishing my daily homework&lt;br&gt;
You were my teacher, a playmate, a hero&lt;br&gt;
With you praise and affection I excelled&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;In my shame you claimed me to be yours&lt;br&gt;
You assured me with trust an alternative&lt;br&gt;
You are the architect for my loss to reverse&lt;br&gt;
I cling to you dear Mother with heart’s content&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;You watched over my friends towards the gain&lt;br&gt;

This has been proved by a 9 year old girl Laxmi from Kottayam who immolated herself by burning herself in flame by kerosene oil. A girl studying in IV standard was loved by her teachers and the headmistress. But Laxmi was sad. Her home had been for her a hell. She had lost her mother. The paternal grand Mother took her for granted as an object to work and showered on her the rain of punishment. Her Father took all his revenge on her when the grand mother complained. As drunkard as he was , he never realised that the children need love and it is their fundamental right. The grand mother never remembered that once she too was small and helpless. How can one remain immune to this?

supported with bright canvass&lt;br&gt;
Just a phrase of good morning !&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Joy filled my heart so to hear&lt;br&gt;
The sound transmitted by care&lt;br&gt;
With elegant art, joy to share&lt;br&gt;
With green and red looking fair&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;When contrast colours form unity&lt;br&gt;
They attract the heart with no vanity&lt;br&gt;
Joy surrounds then in heart's cavity&lt;br&gt;
That "Good Morning" has led many to gaity &lt;/p&gt;

Without any wealth in hand you can be a potential contributor to the society by sharing your ideas, opinions, the alternative ways of solutions, your admonition or pre-cautioning, your intelligence and your wisdom shared with others may become a royal door of prosperity, peace and joy. It may save people from every danger.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Charity is not a monetary gift alone but it is the skill and capacity to share with others which leads the other for prosperity. Share and abundance will flow at your doorstep and people will bless you. You will be immortal even after your physical death&lt;/p&gt;

I saw her with a Wild Flower in hand&lt;br&gt;
With love she was caught in that cage&lt;br&gt;
Anxiety, restless and burning in a rage&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Birds flew back together to their cage&lt;br&gt;
While I heard a chat of praying sage&lt;br&gt;
What is life I asked and wrote this page&lt;br&gt;
At the sunset all see their beloved image.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;A great vacuum within lost in thought&lt;br&gt;
While recalled my beloved and sought&lt;br&gt;
With love a precious gift I had bought&lt;br&gt;
And now I remain for the battle fought&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;If the heart did not palpitate to return&lt;br&gt;
For the courtesy rejected that I moan&lt;br&gt;
What does it mean in pain I do groan&lt;br&gt;
Love is rejected, as a vagabond I roam&lt;/p&gt;

You may not have silver and gold to offer as gift to your loved once. . You may not have currency notes to count from the tip of your fingers with velocity and skill, but nothing to worry. Your presence itself can be a great gift to everyone. When you are present at home&lt;br&gt;
Your family is comfortable and feel protected, guided and directed, when you are at the office, your boss, your colleagues and the entire team is comfortable and assured of a peaceful co existence. When you are with your friends you are recognised as someone in whom one can find joy and relaxation. When you are with the children and the youth you are accepted as someone worthy to listen at. Then you shall be remembered and your life shall find a meaning and worth living&lt;/p&gt;
