Meaning of LIfe

1. Have you found Joy in your Life?

2. Have others found Joy in your Life?

These two questions answer our Life. It rewinds our past, analyzes our present and shows a glimpse of our future. The movie itself was very good showing the self realization of two persons suffering from cancer, redefining their years of weight in the last few days. But this dialogue got imprinted in me.

And one more…

When we ask for Patience, God doesn’t give us Patience; instead He creates opportunities for us to be Patient. When we ask for Courage, God doesn’t give us Courage; instead He creates opportunities for us to be Courageous.

Watching the Flowering

It feels great to spare some time with kids. The purity and innocence of them makes us remember our past too. Is it really the calmness of the child, or deep inside we too want that openness, freedom, simplicity and lovingness in us? I too love being around small kids and seek out their company. With them, the feeling of me being a tiny kid comes out. I try avoiding the complexities of maturity. The more I go near Nature, the more I feel being myself.

Recently I was watching some Persian movie, and the scene was a school. The way the children ran out of the school screaming after the school finished showed that it’s not just India where kids behave in that way. It seems that we love getting out of school. Our education system takes us away from our true nature, which I feel should be properly developed along with teaching the nuisances of society.

Each and every one of us comes here as a seed. Some are seed of Rose, some of Jasmine, some of Banyan, and so on. But the expectations from parents, teachers, society together with the schools, tries to take out a Lotus out of a Rose. In the process, the Lotus never flowers, and the original Rose too vanishes. Everyone is unique, and has the right to flower in its own genuine nature.
