A dialogue with God

-

Once a man looked at sky and asked, "Oh God, please talk to me." Then a bulbul bird sang a beautiful song. But a man could not hear it !!


Then again he looked at sky and whispered, "Oh God, I want to listen your voice!" At the same time thunder stroked in clouds with long rumbling sound and lightning. But the lost man did not get it !!  


He was amazed for ignorance of God ! At that dark night when no one was nearby, he said, "Oh god, I want to see you ! Please give me your glance !" At the same time one star twinkled with sparking shine. But that man could not perceive it !!


Now he was about to cry. He said, "Oh God, I do not understand that why are you ignoring me ? At least show me your miracle today !" At the same time labour pain started to his wife. Immediately he brought her to the hospital. After some time he was gifted with a cute little child with beautiful eyes. But alas ! That man was still not able to understand anything !!


Now he became angry. He yelled, "God, recognize me that you are there ! Touch and realize me ! Later only I will accept your existence." God took a wonderful form of a colorful butterfly. Then came to him and touched him. But he let the butterfly fly away with his hands. He again sighed with yearning, "I am sure now that God exists nowhere."


Many times we miss the blessings given by God. Because it is not in the form we want it to be ! Without God, we can’t do anything. Even we can’t talk and walk. It’s God’s unconditional and unending love that makes us work whole life. Spirituality is not something to achieve in outer world. It’s inside. It’s about developing sensibility to feel and realize his divinity.

Out in the fields with God

Hurry, worry and curry! Isn’t it describing our lives? We run behind the success and invite worries. We haste in achieving worldly possessions. And in celerity, we miss enjoying life. Life is beautiful, when we enjoy it fully.      Here is a wonderful poem about living a life with joy. The poet wonders in nature and loses petty cares. Among the play of winds and rustling of trees, among the singing of birds and humming of bees, he forgets niggling of life. Nature is the divine creation of God. As it hasn’t ego, when wonder in it, ruffles of life turns into smooth.  Sometimes we feel down due to foolish fears of what may happen. We may feel blue due to imaginary menace. The poet cast it away in husking of the corn and nodding of drowsy poppies.  He finds the presence of God in nature. Where ill thoughts die and good thoughts are born. Understanding of nearness of God makes us happy in all situations. In pain and pine, when we feel that...

Life

Life is a game, play it. Life is a puzzle, solve it. Life is a mystery, unfold it. How wise words these are! All the days are not the same. They vary. Up and down, to and fro are but natural. It’s like a roller coaster ride. It threatens sometimes. We may lose head and heart due to the variance.   In such an imbalance, how do we balance is the major point. In the midst of the conflict, in the midst of hardship, in the midst of the storm, how do we think and live, that carries the major attention. In the struggle, we may get disturbed. Negativity and distortion may drag us down. But the truth is: it’s a process, the process of development. No struggle can bring us down, but our own mind can. So it’s an opportunity to build a positive mind. So in the scuffle, instead of getting down, awake and arise. Build the mind with positive thoughts and emotions. Draw a meaning in difficult times and surely it will bring us up. Here is a heartening divine poem by Shri Aurob...

Stray birds

These are a few lines from Stray Birds by Rabindranath Tagore. Worth inspiring and heartening. Anyone who loves poetic philosophy loves these as well. I have picked my favourite ones. Here they are : STRAY birds of summer come to my window to sing and fly away. And yellow leaves of autumn, which have no songs, flutter and fall there with a sigh. THE world has opened its heart of light in the morning. Come out, my heart, with thy love to meet it. DARKNESS travels towards light, but blindness towards death. "IN the moon thou sendest thy love letters to me," said the night to the sun. "I leave my answers in tears upon the grass." "WHO is there to take up my duties?" asked the setting sun. "I shall do what I can, my Master," said the earthen lamp. IF you shed tears when you miss the sun, you also miss the stars. "WE, the rustling leaves, have a voice that answers the storms, but who are you so silent?" ...
