Ignoring Time... No one should afford to...

If someone is taking things,people or situations for granted and being complacent, careless or irresponsible, he/she probably is not understanding that such behavior is not only harmful and disrespectful for the person or situation,but it is an insult and negligence towards "TIME"....There is nothing more caring and powerful than TIME. If we ignore it ,certainly sooner or later it is going to hunt us with an exponential amount of punishment...

Surrender- the eternal way ahead!

All of us always love to have roses and roses ....on our path all through life. But life certainly can not gift us that  all the time. There will be thorns on our way also...So we need to accept and face the thorns as bravely and gracefully as possible as we have welcomed all the roses. We rather need to focus our entire energy in changing what we can and control our actions rather than concentrating on the numerous inevitable events of life and making futile and foolish efforts of changing the results which is squarely not in our control... As and when we really grow ,we understand and appreciate why there are unpredictable thorns on the ways amongst the lovely roses ,very carefully designed by the master craftsman ...none other than the eternal judge..The Almighty... Let's surrender and walk ahead...

Growing older is like going up in an aeroplane....

A feeling revisited again!!!
"Growing older is like going up in an airplane". The higher you go, your vision of the things on the ground becomes smaller and smaller and becomes oblivious at one point. You can't see anything on the ground and only know you are on a journey to reach your destination...Life is exactly like that... The older we grow,nature keeps a balance and allows us to detach us from everything transitory and only concentrate on the eternal journey,but the pilot is as alert and as equanimous as he is on the ground... He does his job without  lapse of concentration even  for a moment and carries all of us,every passenger on board to the destination  without any discrimination... Nature does it all the time and teaches us vital lessons every single day... To detach ourselves from the transitory ,worldly bondages as we grow older and stay alert and equanimous in our everyday yet eternal journey...

      Another 15th August passed,a year passed by and I grew older a year, a year closer to the divine destination... Family, friends, students,staff, patients... Everyone blessed me immensely from their heart and soul... I always consider myself fortunate one to get so much of love and affection all the while and my gratitude to each of u knew no bounds!!! Words are not enough to thank you all to walk with me,walk beside me,hold my hands in difficult times and share my simple everyday joys of life ....
    The year passed by brought many  changes in my life, going through lots of difficult times of sickness  of self to family...to uncertainty, difficult times to  deal with number of issues and a death of loved one in the family and ....leaving a 20 years old job... But at the end I believe
 " who knows better than Him"?... The creator of all of us, the divine power that send us to an unknown world every single night and the force that wakes us up in the dawn... So I just follow His directions,the path laid by Him with unflinching faith...Not possible to understand why and how all the time... But I firmly believe He is there for us to lead... So let me walk the path as  unmistakably  as humanly possible and leave the rest in His hand!!!

   My prayer as always remains same..." Oh Supreme Lord,give me the serenity to change what I can, to accept what I can't and the wisdom to know the difference"...
     Again my heartfelt gratitude to everyone around me and my prayer to  Almighty to give  each of you a life that matters and lots peace and Divine blessings....

Change inwards than outwards...

If we want change,we need to be the first people to be the face of change. We need to work more on inside and on our own mindset first. The world changes and will surely ,may be slowly  change with examples... Not by our advice or opinions.... People learn the most and in best from genuine examples,not by our free advice or random opinions.... At times our unsolicited advice or random opinions may cause more harm than help....So we need to set examples in silent hours , not in loud advices and irrelevant opinions.... This is what I understand... May be some others will have similar feelings...

The foot prints.... Unnoticed often....

The foot prints....Had read a write up in this title in a school while waiting outside when my son Shashwat was writing his exam...May be some 14 - 15 yrs back...But the essence and gist got printed in my mind and on numerous occasions when I quietly recollect or realize the life events... I felt how true it is even if normally we don't look at our experinces...Will try and recollect the write up to put it in my own way as don't remember the words... It said this in nutshell...A man who was devout believer of God...Just asked God.."Oh supreme Lord, please don't leave me anytime"...He was such a honest and principled soul...God promised He won't leave him ever...Then he asked.." Oh Almighty,but how will I know u r there with me?" God replied... There is a stretch of sand here,look on that everyday...U will see your and mine footprints... Then a long time passed and the man looked on the sand and found 2 pairs of footprints...He knew one pair is his and other pair is God's, walking along ... As life went ahead,he faced lots of difficulties and debacles...Hard times and trouble on all fronts...He looked on the sand ...But could only see one pair of footprints...He became sad but never compromised on his honesty and principles...Time changed and good things started coming on his way and he started noticing 2 pairs of footprints coming on the sand stretch...Tears on his eyes...He asked God..."Oh Lord...I have only one question my mind...Why did u leave me on my most difficult days?Did I not live up to your expectations?" God smiled and asked"my dear child, I never left u,why do u think I ever deserted u ?"  He said " As u had advised I looked over the sand stretch everyday to see your footprints to know u r with me,but on the most difficult days of my journey of life I only could see only one pair of footprints,so u were not there"...God blessed and explained..." My child, those one pair of footprints were mine,not yours".  Surprised with the answer he asked" then where was mine?" God answered my child,on those difficult days I carried u on my shoulder....So there was no footprints of yours..." I was there all the way..
The man could not feel he could have ever get a greater blessing than this...
We all are on same journey...

Nothing heals like faith.....

Often in life's rough road we loose our faith and composure, ....We tend to loose our firm faith on God and doubt His existence... It's but humane to do so...But when we realize deep inside He was,He is and He will do the best and nothing but the best even when the world looks torn apart.... And our own life times are  so tiny and even our  toughest battles are so trivial in the vast eternity and God's world,life becomes a sublime experience....Time and Almighty are not only omnipresent,they are omnipotent and impartial to each of their creation.
We as tiny and mortal beings are not even equiped to understand His creation... Leave aside judging Him...Even we in everyday life do not do whatever we must and do many times many things knowing they are against cosmic laws...If at all we need to judge anyone that is us only and if we need to safeguard anything that is our "karma" only....Our thoughts,speeches and actions all inclusive...May God grant us that serenity in this life time at least...
