Vision

Light, my light, the world-filling light, the eye-kissing light, heart-sweetening light! Ah, the light dances, my darling, at the center of my life; the light strikes, my darling, the chords of my love; the sky opens, the wind runs wild, laughter passes over the earth. The butterflies spread their sails on the sea of light. Lilies and jasmines surge up on the crest of the waves of light. The light is shattered into gold on every cloud, my darling, and it scatters gems in profusion. Mirth spreads from leaf to leaf, my darling, and gladness without measure. The heaven's river has drowned its banks and the flood of joy is abroad. By Rabindranath Tagore

“GOD waits for man to regain his childhood in wisdom.” ~ Stray Birds We all are running after the success. Sometimes it seems running after an illusion. The quest is endless. For things we run after, are they really making us happy in life? Let us peep in the society. The men with all worldly success, are they really happy by heart? May be or may not be. It’s probability. Things can give us comfort but not eternal happiness. We may think that this is the right time to gather the things. More we have; more comfortable the life would be in later years. But can I assure that I will be alive tomorrow? Life is uncertain and things are fragile. I am working hard for frail things actually. It doesn’t mean that we don’t have to work hard. But craving for things makes us cry. I need to learn: how to enjoy in now? And how to enjoy in little things of life? If we miss pleasure in present; how will I enjoy in future? Work for dreams with vision of future; but with a heart in

Gratitude is a divine attitude. Being grateful out of love is the springtime. When we fill our minds and heart with it, we feel blessed. Positivity is being flourished. The important thing is that we may feel blessed in good times, but when we feel blessed in difficult times, it reflects a real positive attitude.   Here is a small inspiring poem about God’s love. We may feel harder to move on in times of difficulties. In the hour of grief and pain, we may be shaken and complain. Here is a man who dreamed and saw himself walking at the seashore.  He complained to God, “In my good times, there were two sets of footprints, but in the struggle when I needed most, you left. There was only one set of a footprint.”  God replied wonderfully with love, “My precious child! That one set of a footprint is not yours, it’s mine. I carried you in your upsetting times.”  We may feel niggled in distressing moments. But God is always with us. We are the children of God. And how a mother can l

At every stage of age, life seems different. It is truly said that life is full of mystery, unfold it. We all are travellers and life's a journey. It gives all kind of experience and learning. But we may pass it in eat, drink and be merry. We don’t tend to think beyond it. We live as all live, mere a monotonous life. Once socrates said, “I would be a dissatisfied Socrates than to be a satisfied pig.” We all are fallen in typical usual life. Nothing new, nothing special, nothing different, nothing ambitious. Just passing life. In childhood, I studied one rhyme, “ Solomon Grundy, Born on a Monday, Christened on Tuesday, Married on Wednesday, Took ill on Thursday, Grew worse on Friday, Died on Saturday, Buried on Sunday, That was the end, Of Solomon Grundy. It describes our tenure of life. Main is, when we live a life in a unique way. If inner fire is cold, the man is not alive. Let us try to ignite the inner fire. Let us think in distinctive way. Let us under

Wait. The most important learning in life. It’s a wise saying: Jam yesterday, jam tomorrow, no jam today. When we aim high, when we yen something, when we struggle hard, when we pour all, and as a result when we don’t get anything, what would be the situation of mind. Anyone can lose heart, lose hope and give up. It's natural. In such distressing moments, God wants us to learn the importance of waiting. Longing is the most difficult situation for a man. When a man loses faith, none can help him. So in the hankering situation, be calm. Keep faith and hope in mind. Never let them go down. Initially, when we saw a seed we care a lot. We pour water, give fertilizer, spread medicines, we do everything for it to grow. But if we lose hope and give up a halfway, we won’t get fruits out of it. So the way is: have hope and keep on putting efforts. If we see with a positive eye, there is a joy hidden in every condition. Man must learn how to find it. We can enjoy di

When I bring to you colored toys, my child,   I understand why there is such a play of colors on clouds, on water,   and why flowers are painted in tints when I give colored toys to you, my child.   When I sing to make you dance   I truly know why there is music in leaves,   and why waves send their chorus of voices to the heart of the listening earth when I sing to make you dance.   When I bring sweet things to your greedy hands   I know why there is honey in the cup of the flowers   and why fruits are secretly filled with sweet juice   when I bring sweet things to your greedy hands.   When I kiss your face to make you smile, my darling,   I surely understand what pleasure streams from the sky in morning light,   and what delight that is that is which the summer breeze brings to my body   when I kiss you to make you smile.   By Rabindranath Tagore

Prayer! The bridge between human beings and God. It reflects the state of mind. It reflects our attitude towards life. Mostly the prayer is filled with demands, selfishness, helplessness, and fear. Either we are regretful of the past or worried about the future. And we pray to God to be saved from dangers. We miss the right understanding that how can we connect with God.   One of the great philosopher, Rev. Spinoza, he stated once: we must cultivate the intellectual love towards God. When we try to develop it and pray, the prayer would be different. And it inspires all to develop in such away.    Feeling incapable and begging the help is not the real prayer. Infirmity creates timidity. So let’s get developed and be strong. Here is a holy prayer by Rabindranath Tagore. It gives a rightful attitude towards life.   Rabindranath Tagore has a real poetic spiritual heart. He doesn’t beg God. He prays to be fearless in facing dangers and heart to conquer struggles. Being puny is pitiful
