Give up the drop become the ocean.

Enough of daily struggle with life whether it is to choose between over sleep or getting up early. Whether it is going for exercise or back to sleep, whether it is tongue conscious or health conscious, whether to have all those material things in life or just dreaming about them, whether to have a glimpse of GOD or going on talking about GOD, whether to give completely yourself to a relationship or going on expecting from the relationship, whether it is finding faults or coming out with a solution Decide and do it.

Enough of having doubts when there is so much possibilities.
Give up the drop become the ocean.

Everything is an experience.

Everything is an experience. There is no good experience or bad experience, it is the experiencer who process the experience. The same event can be different to different people.
So it is not the experience which is good or bad, it is the experiencer with his understanding about life goes through it either happily or unhappily.
The great Tamil poet kannadasa once wrote:
Oh Lord, what is Birth, God replies experience it;What is childhood, God replies experience it;what is adulthood, God replies experience it;What is marriage, God replies experience it;What is old age, god replies experience it;Then what is Death, God replies experiance it.

Then kannadasa finally asks GOD, then why do we need you, pray you and look for you. Then GOD replies I'm the experience itself.

Arguments, Dissatisfaction, Disconnection in relationship

We all advice our loved ones, friends and all those people around us. Many times we get into arguments, Dissatisfaction, Disconnection in relationship.

The reason for this is before we advice ask yourself, Do I really follow it, Do I really live by it. Am I hypocrite? We don't have any rights to advice our spouse, parents, children, friends, those people around us until we really follow. When I walk the talk, then the advice, message will reach the other person.Then there is only love, compassion, peace, understanding in a relationship.

What we are going through in life is perfect and it is as per our choice

Every choice that we make at a very thought level and in action will have a consequence. Every choice has a consequence. So what we think and what we intended even if we don’t execute will have a consequence. Some time consequences come immediately some time they take their own time. But definitely they do come back if not in this life time. Once we execute a wrong thought either by intention or by action we get closed in the loop until the consequence comes back and releases us.

So never make any wrong thought/action. Even if you do so out of habitual, counter act it with positive thought/action and over the period we should get rid of it.
Only in meditation, when you become so silent the inner process starts initiating and slowly all the incomplete cycles of choices and consequences will get completed. This gives us liberation from the cycle of choice and consequences.

Life is not about having every quality

I may not be genius but I can be Genuine, I may not have passion but I can have persistence, I may not look good, but I can make others feel good in return I can look good to them.
Life is not about having every quality. Some of the qualities are born with us and some can be acquired.

3 Ways to Peace

1. Do not talk about people, Talk to People
Do not waste your time and energy talking about the people, behind the people to the people who cannot make any difference. You only can make big mockery out of it and no results.
Instead talk to the people if you have any concerns, issues. At least you let go off your irritation, suppression etc. This will give you lot of peace.

2. Talk to people as if you are talking to them for the last time
Ask yourself, if this is my last talk with this person, How I’m going to talk to this person?
This very idea of talking to people as if you are going to meet them for the last time will give you enormous energy and attentiveness. In the process make sure you always end your talk with pleasantness, happiness and love. This will give you more peace.

3. Delegation
Anything which others can do, then you should not be doing it. You need to delegate it. Focus on something which others cannot do and which is good for all.

Does God loves me?

In devotion, faith happens.In faith miracles happen. Do you have enough faith?
We all love God; we all pray God and We all wanted to have one glimpse of God, One touch of God, One experience of God.

We pray day and Night, we visit so many temples, churches, Mosques we look for him every where.
But the question we need to ask is, does God really love me?
Same attracts sameness.
The day when I live my life out of godliness, when I live life truthfully, when I live as per the laws of Life, that day God is attracted towards me. He is there already waiting…..

Dont wait

The husband is waiting to take his wife to a place which she loves so much, Father is waiting to tell his grown up daughter how much he loves her, Mother is waiting to tell her son that how much she care for him, Children are waiting to tell their parents how much they are for them, Employer is waiting to tell his employee how much he value his/her contribution.

Everyone is thinking there is always tomorrow.

Don’t wait to tell your loved ones, how much you love them. There is no tomorrow, there is only today. Continue doing this everyday as a ritual......

Life is Short

Life is short. Make every moment of your life. Everyday is a Gift, so make the best use of it. Don’t waste time gossiping, cheating, sleeping, watching TV, reading news, being a potato. Be productive.

Learn as if you are thirsty, Earn as if you are hungry and Return as if you are going to feed the entire world.

Success

Success means different to different people. For some it is money & material, for some it is love and GOD etc. In general success means achieving all those we desire.
It is not important in achieving those but it is important what you BECOME in achieving those.

At what cost you want to achieve those? At the cost of Health, Relation, Peace, Love, Truthfulness? No it is not.

If you are peaceful and happy at the core and still achieve everything you want then it is success and it is possible.

Teacher of Teachers - Muhammad

_________________________________

We once had a Teacher The Teacher of teachers,He changed the world for the better And made us better creatures,He prayed while others slept. While others ate he’d fast,While they would laugh he wept,Until he breathed his last,His only wish was for us to beAmong the ones who prosper,

Ya Mu'allim peace be upon you,Truly you are our Teacher,Oh Mu'allim..

He taught us to be just and kindAnd to feed the poor and hungry,Help the wayfarer and the orphan child And to not be cruel and miserly,His speech was soft and gentle,Like a mother stroking her child,His mercy and compassion, Were most radiant when he smiled

My favorite From: "Sami Yusuf Al-mu'allim lyrics"

Malamati- school of sufi thought

Malamati is one of the most significant school of thought and its basis now a recognised fact that -YOU are responsible for whatsoever you are. If you are miserable, you are responsible.In the beginning it hurts;the old joy of blaming others is gone. It is a joy when you can blame others.
Freudin psychoanalysis goes on blaming your environment,mother,father....Growth is possible only when you have taken the responsibility on yourself. In the beginning it hurts, soon you start feeling a new thrill, a new adventure, because soon you become aware that if you are responsible , then there is a way to go beyond. If others are responsible then there is no way to go beyond.
If you are creating your misery then you can uncreate it.

Happiness

Happiness is not 'Becuase of', Happiness is 'Inspite of'. Its a natural state of mind.

Love

In love there is hurt. Inspite of hurt, can you love?

Devotion

The deepest form of love is devotion, the purest form of love is devotion, the highest form of love is Devotion.
What is devotion?
Take a lemon and cut into 2 pieces. Without devotion, Squeeze the juice from one part of the lemon piece into a glass of water and add little salt. Taste it.
Take the other piece of lemon and now with devotion squeeze the juice into a glass of water, add little salt. Taste it. There is a difference. That extra in the ordinary way of doing things is devotion.

Whatever you do, do it with devotion.

When you look at the nature, enjoy the creation and when you are in gratitude to the creator behind the creation then you are in Devotion.
When you look at the black crow and the white swan and have the same feeling, then you are in devotion.
When you love your loved ones for what they are, then you are in devotion.
When you treat both failures and success the way they are then you are in devotion.

When you look for creator in all his creation, in all the beings then you are in devotion.

Kabir: Living-Dashingly

Kabir says " When I was born, I was crying and the whole world was rejoiced. When I die, I want to rejoice and the whole world should cry." Thats the way I want to live my life.

I want to go one more step, I want to live my life in such a way that he (the creator) should cry thinking that what a creation it was.
