Simple Thoughts

My brother and sister-in-law's baby boy was born day before yesterday and I eagerly rushed to the hospital in the evening to see my nephew...   As I looked into the face of my nephew, time stood absolutely still, I forgot everything and saw only the wonder in front of me, I was smiling so much and was filled with such selfless joy that reflecting on that moment now, I can understand what enlightenment could probably mean, it would probably be a permanent state of such joy. I saw the most wonderful sight ever, the small little eyes which opened to look at us was filled with such pure innocence that it kindled a deep beautiful emotion in me. His tiny pink hand with the long slender fingers was like trying to create something in the air or maybe simple captivating us all with some magic in them. And then he opens his small little mouth with the red lips as if to show us how he can bring the universe to his attention by that one single gesture. Being the mother of two adora...

The meaning of love is to care for the loved ones deeply, to enjoy the mere presence of them anywhere nearby, to wish well for them always, to receive whatever they give with gratitude, to expect nothing in return, and to love what one can do for them. This is how a devotee loves his GOD, a mother her child, a wife her husband, a pet its master,the earth's love for existence,nature's love for man,.... The language of this love is SILENCE The strength of this love is HONESTY The limits of such  love is INFINITE The ultimate test of this love is UNSHAKABLE FAITH When this kind of love if felt by us for every thing around us, then every moment becomes bliss, every action a service and every breath a joy.

When I smell the fresh air of the early morning Feels precious, as I need to wait an entire day for the moment again   When I hold my favourite book in my hand Feels precious, as it will soon finish and my heart will ache for another one   When my heart pours its love out for GOD Feels precious, as I might soon start wanting and praying for something   When my whole being breathes with gratitude Feels precious, as I might soon be lamenting over what I don’t have   When I can love myself for being simple me Feels precious, as I might soon be wondering why am I so different   When I trust and experience the Divine love inside and around me Feels right for now it is not just the moment but...... My life itself has become so precious.

Mind is the one which helps one function and also to go crazy. Who taught the mind to do this, the secret must be in our genes, our conditioning ... Why should one treat the mind as some kind of a force that one needs to fight with and win over. Rather one can love the mind, feel gratitude for it, care for it and free it from the torture by teaching it to unlearn that which has been learnt from ages, so by doing this the mind's power will manifest in better ways. The intelligence is the one which can teach, so the more we practice meditation or focus on silence , we grow more familiar with our real selves ( that which is part of the universal divine force that has no name or form), and as the familiarity grows with the real self or intelligence we will be capable of observing everything in which it resides be it the world, the body, breathing, the emotions and definitely the actions of the mind and then intelligence will be in a position to help the mind t...

Body is a special gift But taken for granted Made a slave by the mind When abused boomerangs on the mind And.. Age may tone down Both body and mind But the intelligence when nurtured Will guide us in the knowledge that Change is but inevitable Eventually.. Where it came from It will head right back there But stays a faithful companion In this journey of life So.. Let's respect our body like divinity Treat it with dignity Listen to it in silence Respond to it by speaking its language Let's love our body like our life It began with life, Ends with life And made us believe for a long time while the intelligence slept That it is "I" :-)

  Is taken for granted Never understood for the depth and meaning it has.   Delivered using muscles more and heart less, For the sake of formality more and for the sake of joy less.   It seems so tough to smile as Mind chooses to remember the wrong, Ego can’t love anyone but itself, Melancholy wins over celebration, Heart yearns to love but the mind refuses to forgive, One chooses to keep the hatred and fear in others alive, Without which one’s own fears and doubts surface, And in many a person Intelligence thinks to itself whether the world is worthy of a smile now.   But a smile when genuine can Convey the message of the heart through the eyes, Remove the awkwardness of the moment, Replace doubt with faith, Eases the tension in the air, Bring a smile on another’s face, Make the existing bonds stronger,   Make even a stranger, a friend, ...
