Absence to abundance

-


Absence! deficiency! shortage! Are we tired of? Are we weary due to the same prolonged situation? This is the right post to read and come up. Arise and awake! Don’t sink into the situation. I came across these points to rejuvenate. Revitalize the self, it’s the only way to revive.

Life is gameplay. We must cultivate the player spirit. Whatever the game offers us, success or failure, we must accept it with a smiling face. We neither have to quit nor throw away. We must play on it. 

God gifts us joy and woe to make us grow. We stuck and stop journey due to them. If it's pleasure, it boosts up enthusiasm. And if it's a pain, it makes us stronger. In both ways, God cares for us. When we go on with this clear understanding, life becomes easy. 

Difficulties are blessings of God. God sends them to make us powerful and mighty. So don’t grumble during them, but ignite and make ways out of them. Learn from them. This is the best way to develop self from hurdles. 

We may be dejected due to lack of life. Actually, scantiness is a blessing of God. The undersupply is made by God himself. He wants his children to come to him to ask for. It’s one way to love. He cares for us so he calls us back by destitution according to Vedic Philosophy. 

Being grateful is being happy. Instead of listing deficits, list out what we have in life. What we have might be the craving, who haven’t had it. Being grateful by heart is the quickest way to be happy. 

We are short in life. We can’t achieve all. But the relationship of the self with the almighty God is the greatest fulfillment of life. I am limited but by joining self to unlimited, I also become limitless. I am finite but by joining self to infinite, I also become infinite.

These are the viewpoints that help me to restore mental state. The outer situation is not in our hands. What others say and do is not in our hands. But my thoughts are in my hand. So we can alter thoughts and bring positivity in mind. So being in misery or in majesty in our hands. 

We may complain due to the shortfall. Dearth and drought make us downhearted. But gratitude builds a bridge to abundance. We may not be where we want to be, but when we look back and be thankful, we are not where we used to be. So when a new day begins, dare to smile gratefully.     

We can choose positive ideas to make the mind happy. Accordingly, mental health will be improved with physical health. So never choose to be a victim. Choose to be a victor of self-improvement.

When we focus on being a blessing, God makes sure that we are always blessed in abundance.

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?" ...
