Delight Eternal

Image
These are few drops from the ocean of infinite (Upanishads) (1) Transliteration : Yo vai bhuma tat sukham, Nalpe sukham asti, Bhumaiva sukham. ...Upanishada... Translation : The Infinite is the satisfying happiness. In the finite no happiness can ever breathe. The Infinite alone is the fulfilling happiness. Meaning : The Life Infinite is the Delight Infinite. The finite is a stranger to the infinite Happiness. Infinity without Delight means the creation without a Creator. Indeed, this is absurd. Delight without Infinity means the Creator without the creation. Indeed, this is equally absurd. (2) Transliteration : Anandadd hy eva khalv imani bhutani jayante, Anandena jatani jivanti Anandam prayantyabhisam visanti...Upanishada... Translation : From Delight we came into existence. In Delight we grow. At the end of our journey’s close, Into Delight we retire. Meaning : God has written an open letter to His human children. His letter runs: “My ...

Imminence of God

I am still here Please don’t morn for me I am still here Though you can’t see I am right by your side Each night and day And within your heart Is where I long to stay My body is gone But I am always near I am everything you feel See and here My spirit is free But I will never depart Just as long as you keep me Alive in your heart I will never wander Out of your sight I am the brightest star That shines in the night I will never be Beyond your reach I am the pure white snow That blankets the ground I am the beautiful flower Of which you are so fond And I am the clear water That basills in pond I am the first bright blossom That you see in the spring I am the first elegant rainbow That April will bring I am the first ray of light When the sun starts to shine And you will always see in the night That every face on the moon is mine When you to think That there is no one to love You can talk to me Through the lord above I will whisper my answers Through the limbs of the trees And you wi...

Awaken us from ignorance

Image
Behold, Usha... the beautiful dawn... Heaven’s darling daughter decked in pure pious white, the goddess of worldly wealth in its entirety has slowly emerged in her magnificence and vermilion splendor to brighten the eastern hemisphere! Oh, the most lovely and lucky lady of golden hue and luster, spread your light here and everywhere to awaken us from the deep inertia of ignorance. ~ Rig Veda

Don't cry; enjoy.

Image
A wise man once sat in the audience & cracked a joke. All laughed like crazy. After a moment he cracked the same joke again and a little less people laughed this time. He cracked the same joke again & again, when there was no laughter in the crowd, he smiled and said, “When u can’t laugh on the same joke again & again, then why do u keep crying over the same thing over and over again” Life is small and moments are less.. Don't waste it ...Just enjoy... Wonderful lines from ZMND. जब  जब  दर्द  का  बादल  छाया जब  ग़म  का  साया  लहराया जब  आंसू  पलकों  तक  आया जब  यह  तनहा  दिल  घबराया हमने  दिल  को  यह  समझाया दिल   आखिर  तू  क्यूँ  रोता  है दुनिया  में  यूँही  होता  है यह  जो  गहरे  सन्नाटे  हैं वक़्त  ने  सबको  ही  बांटे  हैं थोडा  ग़म   है...

Tell problems you have a big God !

Image
Two men went fishing. One was an experienced fisherman, the other wasn't. Every time the experienced fisherman caught a big fish, he put it in his ice chest to keep it fresh. Whenever the inexperienced fisherman caught a big fish, he threw it back. The experienced fisherman watched this go on all day and finally got tired of seeing the man waste good fish. Why do you keep throwing back all the big fish you catch he asked. The inexperienced fisherman replied, I only have a small frying pan. Sometimes, like that fisherman, we throwback the big plans, big dreams, big jobs, big opportunities that God gives us. Our faith is too small. We laugh at that fisherman who didn't figure out that all he needed was a bigger frying pan, yet how ready are we to increase the size of our faith. Whether it's a problem or a possibility, God will never give you anything bigger than you can handle. That means we can confidently walk into anything God brings our way. You...

Unending love

Image
I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times... In life after life, in age after age, forever. My spellbound heart has made and remade the necklace of songs, That you take as a gift, wear round your neck in your many forms, In life after life, in age after age, forever. Whenever I hear old chronicles of love, it's age old pain, It's ancient tale of being apart or together. As I stare on and on into the past, in the end you emerge, Clad in the light of a pole-star, piercing the darkness of time. You become an image of what is remembered forever. You and I have floated here on the stream that brings from the fount. At the heart of time, love of one for another. We have played along side millions of lovers, Shared in the same shy sweetness of meeting, the distressful tears of farewell, Old love but in shapes that renew and renew forever. Rabindranath Tagore...

To Make You Win

Image
Do not give up and do not give in, For hope is there to make you win. Whether through trouble or through pain, The lesson should never be in vain. Starting through the night, It might feel you have lost sight. But behold just a few moments more, And light will break through with a roar. Do not give up and do not give in, For hope is there to make you win. Anonymous

Hope is the thing with feathers

Image
Hope is like a lighthouse in the midst of the stormy sea. However the dark and deep the night is, hope never lets us lose a heart. It always inspires us to sail on. Hope is like rays of dawn which fades all darkness and glorify everything. Here in this poem, bird is being described as a metaphor of hope. This hope bird resides in everyone. And it signs the song of divinity in the time of strain and stress. In troubles and hassles, hope never lets us lay down. Hope gives courage to rise again. It’s really a hopeful poem: Hope is the thing with feathers   That perches in the soul,   And sings the tune without the words,   And never stops at all,      And sweetest in the gale is heard;           And sore must be the storm   That could abash the little bird   That kept so many warm.      I’ve heard it in the chillest land,   And on the strangest sea;      ...

The little fluit

Image
Thou hast made me endless, such is thy pleasure. This frail vessel thou emptiest again and again, and fillest it ever with fresh life. This little flute of a reed thou hast carried over hills and dales, and hast breathed through it melodies eternally new. At the immortal touch of thy hands my little heart loses its limits in joy and gives birth to utterance ineffable. Thy infinite gifts come to me only on these very small hands of mine. Ages pass, and still thou pourest, and still there is room to fill. By Rabindranath Tagore
