JUSTIFICATIONS

Image
Today i found that i try to justify everyone that i am right. why i do so…. i see the reason is my inferiority complex. Not having enough faith in myself. I should always watch this. i should accept other's view as their own view and until they are something of importance why waste time in useless justification of me. Silence is the key. it seems there is no answers of the questions which arise in mind. There are questions behind questions……….. doubts behind the doubts. But i don't want to be silent……… may be i am waiting …… till i exhaust & give up………And rest in silence.

MARK THE START

You captured me with a second’s glance Awakening my curiousity with your high profile stance Silently hiding all that you felt Still making sure it would make my heart melt In directions afar from what you perform The smile of yours can make anyone transform Secretly masking your compassion the most But your eyes makes me feel lost To build a new compassion's fire. To make love your heart's desire. It is you I treasure in my heart. What draws you here marks the start.

Still learning ......

To be gentle…and also to not sound like I think I know everything. I tend to be rather blunt as I am prone to cutting to the chase. Not everybody cares for my approach and sometimes even I don't! I know where it comes from - from my own hard-headedness! I seem to have carried that approach into my own work. Sort of like, totally forgetting that even when most people say they want the truth…they don't necessarily want it straight up. They want it made a little more palatable. I am making efforts to soften my edges, and it is still something of which I often need to remind myself. And the knowing everything thing…I absolutely, positively, one hundred percent believe that each and every person has their own framework of belief. I also respect my own framework of belief - that when I speak of what I understand to be Universal Truths, it tends to sound like I want everyone else to think the same thing. I don't! I just want them to know who I am. And it seems like many people thi

Renunciation

Renunciation is a big word, for me it simply means really looking at life, and inward at myself and realizing I already have everything I need to be truly happy. Living a simple life and using ones own natural abilities and talents to improve the quality of life (instead of thinking you can buy improvements) reminds me of a story about the Buddha: One day the Buddha was sitting in the woods with several monks. They had an excellent lunch and were enjoying the company of each other. A farmer was passing by and was very unhappy. He asked the Buddha and the monks whether they had seen his cows passing by. The Buddha said they had not seen any cows passing by. The farmer then informed everyone of how unhappy he was. I have twelve cows and I always must chase after them and tend to them. I have also a few acres of a sesame seed plantation and the keeping the insects from eating everything takes up my time when I am not tending my cows. The work is almost too much to bear. The Buddha said, M

Who are you???????

I read the following lines somewhere and loved it..... You are Goodness itself. You are Love itself. You are Happiness itself. But we tend to forget this. That's our real problem. We are been made, conditioned and brainwashed by everyone, into believing that you are not good enough, and this process goes further: You've also been led to believe that therefore you need to become good, and that you need something outside of yourself to become good. And it is this belief that you are not good enough that leads you to a self-fulfilling prophecy where you behave in ways that prove to yourself that indeed you are not good enough - and so you fall back to your belief system and try even harder at it. And maybe, you do become a little bit better after taking that seroiusly – it has beneficial effect but simply because of your belief that you will become better. This, however is not long-lasting, because, deep inside, you believe yourself to be not good enough - and the society simply

LESSONS

Our experience is all based upon the ideas in our mind that we’re always trying to live up to. I'm not sure if these are the most important things I've learned but they are the answers that come to mind right now. My experience is my responsibility. A lot of “negative” stuff may be thrown at me at any given moment, but ultimately, there is no one else to blame for my reactions and for my inner state. For real growth to happen, I must face everything and continually strive to bring the unconscious to the conscious. Paradoxically, I have also learned that our experience as human beings is largely shaped by circumstances beyond our control, and that in this way, we are all in this same boat called life together. Keeping this in mind helps me to cultivate compassion, empathy, and love for everyone and everything, even myself. Most of all, I've learned to have fun and not to take it all too seriously. Laughter and foolishness are good for the soul!

LIFE

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrong doing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on. Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you some
