Take a break

When u feel u have worked enough,
and dont wanna make it further tough,
take a break

When u dont feel like working,
and if it at you, starts pecking,
take a break

When no thoughts into ur mind penetrate,
and on things, if you aint able to concentrate,
take a break

When things dont happen as u expect,
and u fail to be a circumspect,
take a break

When u want ur money to be saved,
but end up in having all ur money caved,
take a break

When ur world turns upside down,
and is causing you to frown..
take a break

If u have on ur heart a burden,
that u feel needs to be forgotten,
take a break

When u feel lonely and bad,
doing nothing but being sad,
take a break

If you have times of fun and frolic,
and suddenly abt something if you panic,
take a break

If u feel enough of what u have written,
and ur pen is too rigid to move again,
take a break

When things get out of head,
not able to comprehend the words said,
take a break

When you get bored of reading this,
and feel its gist is at a miss,
take a break!! :-p

My Dream Guy...

Twinkle Twinkle little star,
do u know how handsome u are??
up above the world so high,
its you with whom i wanna fly...

When the blazing sun is gone,
Radiance is what you always spawn.
Then you show your little light,
And cause to set things aright.

When I travel in the dark,
you light my way as a spark.
I could not have seen where to go,
If you did not twinkle so.

In the dark blue sky you keep,
in my sweet dreams do you peep.
For when you look into my eye,
I feel my cheeks red-I feel shy!

Like the rivers flowing in serenity,
will my love for you grow till eternity..
In my life, I know now, to me who you are-
Indeed...you are my Twinkling Smiling little star!! :-)

Nice thoughts...

We love ourselves even after doing many mistakes. Then how can we hate others for their one mistake. Think before you hate someone or hate yourself.

Swimming along the flow is effortless but swimming against it needs effort. Don't go the way life takes you, but take life the way you wanna go. Dare to be different.

The greatest advantage of speaking the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said. Think about it.

A beautiful saying: If your eyes are positive you would like all the people in the world. But if your tongue is positive all the people in the world would like you.

Life is about the art of drawing without an eraser, so be careful while taking decisions about the most valuable pages of your life.

A nice thought: I met money and said why everyone runs behind you, you are just a piece of paper. Money smiled and said of-course I am just a piece of paper, but I haven't seen a dustbin yet in my whole life.

Life is like a coin. Pleasure and Pain are the two sides. Only one side is visible at a time.. But remember other side is also waiting for its turn.

If you like someone, show it. It will be sweeter than telling. But if you don't like someone, Just tell it. It will be less painful than showing it.

A very true but strange quote: Love doesn't start in morning & end in evening. It starts when you don't need it & ends when you need it most.

What's greater then mom's love? Which pillow is better then lover's lap? Which company's better then friends? There are some things in life with no substitutes. Love them forever.

Tragedy of moon: So simple but so attractive. So enlightening but so cool. So moving but so still. So quite but so popular. So romantic but still single.

Westlife-If I let you go...

Day after day, time pass away
And I just can't get you off my mind
Nobody knows I hide it inside
I keep on searching but I can't find
The courage to show to letting you know
I've never felt so much love before
And once again I'm thinking about
Taking the easy way out
But if I let you go I will never know
What my life would be holding you close to me
Will I ever see you smiling back at me
How will I know if I let you go
Night after night, I hear myself say
Why can't this feeling just fade away
There's no one like you, you speak to my heart
It's such a shame we're world's apart
I'm too shy to ask, I'm too proud to lose
But sooner or later, I've got to choose
And once again I'm thinking about
Taking the easy way out
But if I let you go I will never know
What my life would be holding you close to me
Will I ever see you smiling back at me
How will I know..
If I let you go..........

Vision

There was a millionaire who was bothered by severe eye pain. He consulted so many physicians and was getting his treatment done. He did not stop consulting galaxy of medical experts; he consumed heavy loads of drugs and underwent hundreds of injections. But the ache persisted with great vigor than before. At last a monk who has supposed to be an expert in treating such patients was called for by the millionaire. The monk understood his problem and said that for some time he should concentrate only on green colors and not to fall his eyes on any other colors.

The millionaire got together a group of painters and purchased barrels of green color and directed that every object his eye was likely to fall to be painted in green color just as the had directed. When the monk came to visit him after few days, the millionaire's servants ran with buckets of green paints and poured on him since he was in red dress, lest their master not see any other color and his eye ache would come back. Hearing this monk laughed said "If only you had purchased a pair of green spectacles, worth just a few rupees, you could have saved these walls and trees and pots and all other articles and also could have saved a large share of his fortune. You cannot paint the world green."

Let us change our vision and the world will appear accordingly. It is foolish to shape the world, let us shape ourselves first. Let’s change our vision..!!

********Think simple, Live simple...

Keep Believing Yourself

Doubt can stop you in your tracks, it can drain your desire.
Believing on the other hand can set your world afire.

Believing in your ability affects the way you act
And produces an air of confidence which influences how others will react.

When you believe you can achieve and believe it with your soul,
You possess a powerful asset, you will most likely reach your goal.

Keep Believing Yourself.

English Translation of ADI SHANKARACHARYA'S BHAJA GOVINDAM

Adi Shankaracharya’s Bhaja Govindam

Seek Govinda, O Fool!When the appointed times comes (death),grammar rules surely will not save you.

2 O Fool! Give up the thirst to possess wealth.Create in your mind, devoid of passions,thoughts of the Reality.With whatever you get, entertain your mind, be content.

3 Seeing the full bosom of young maidens and their navel,do not fall a prey to maddening delusion.This is but a modification of flesh and fat.Think well thus in your mind again and again.

4 The water drop playing on a lotus petal has an extremely uncertain existence;so also is life ever unstable.Understand, the very world is consumed by disease and conceit,and is riddled with pangs.

5 As long as there is the ability to earn and save,so long are all your dependants attached to you.Later on, when you come tolive with an old, infirm body,no one at home cares to speak even a word with you!!

6 As long as there dwells breath in the body,so long they enquire of your welfare at home.Once the breath leaves, the body decays,even the wife fears that very same body.

7 So long as one is in one’s boyhood, one is attached to play,so long as one is in youth, one is attached to one’s own young woman;so long as one is in old age, one is attached to anxiety,yet no one, alas to the Supreme Brahman, is ever seen attached.

8 Who is your wife? Who is your son?Supremely wonderful indeed is this samsara.Of whom are you? From where have you come?O brother, think of that Truth here.

9 Through the company of the good, there arises non-attachment;through non-attachment there arises freedom from delusion;when there is freedom from delusion, there is the Immutable Reality;on experiencing the Immutable Reality, there comes the state of ‘liberated-in-life’.

10 When youthfulness has passed, where is lust and its play?When water is evaporated, where is the lake?When the wealth is reduced, where is the retinue?When the Truth is realised, where is samsara?

11 Take no pride in your possession, in the people at your command, in the youthfulness that you have.Time loots away all these in a moment.Leaving aside all these, after knowing their illusory nature,realize the state of Brahman and enter into it.

12 Day and night, dawn and dusk, winter and spring,again and again come and depart.Time sports and life ebbs away.And yet, one leaves not the gusts of desires.

13 O Distracted One! Why worry about wife, wealth?Is there not for you the One who ordains?In the three worlds it is the association-with-good-people alonethat can serve as a boat to cross the sea of change, birth and death.

14 One ascetic with matted locks, one with shaven head,one with hairs pulled out one by one, another parading in his ochre robes– these are fools who, though seeing, do not see.Indeed, these different disguises or apparels are only for their belly’s sake.

15 The body has become worn out. The head has turned grey.The mouth has become toothless.The old man moves about leaning on his staff.Even then he leaves not the bundle of his desires.

16 In front the fire, at the back the sun, late at night he sits with hisknees held to his chin;he receives alms in his own scooped palm andlives under the shelter of some tree,and yet the noose of desires spares him not!

17 One may, in pilgrimage, go to where the Ganges meets the ocean, called the Gangasagar,or observe vows, or distribute gifts away in charity.If he is devoid of first-hand-experience-of-the-Truth,according to all schools of thought, he gains no release, even in a hundred lives

18 Sheltering in temples, under some trees,sleeping on the naked ground, wearing a deerskin,and thus renouncing all idea-of-possession and thirst-to-enjoy,to whom will not dispassion bring happiness?

19 Let one revel in Yoga or let him revel in Bhoga.Let one seek enjoyment in company orlet him revel in solitude away from the crowd.He whose mind revels in Brahman,he enjoys, verily, he alone enjoys.

20 To one who has studied the Bhagavad Gita even a little,who has sipped at least a drop of Ganges-water,who has worshipped at least one Lord Muraari,to him there is no quarrel with Yama, the Lord of Death.

21 Again birth, again death, and again lying in mother’s womb –this samsara process is very hard to cross over.Save me O destroyer of Mura (Lord Krishna),through Thy infinite kindness.

22 The Yogin who wears but a godadi (shawl made of rags),who walks the path that is beyond merit and demerit,whose mind is joined in perfect Yoga with its goal,he revels (in God-consciousness) – and lives thereafter – as a child or as a madman.

23 Who are you? Who am I? From where did I come?Who is my mother? Who is my father?Thus enquire, leaving aside the entire world-of-experience,essenceless and a mere dreamland, born of imagination.

24 In you, in me and in all other places too there is but one All-Pervading Reality.Being impatient, you are unnecessarily getting angry with me.If you want to attain soon the Vishnu-status,be equal-minded in all circumstances.

25 Strive not, waste not your energy to fight against or to makefriends with your enemy, friend, son or relative.Seeking the Self everywhere,lift the sense-of-difference born out of ‘ignorance’.

26 Leaving desire, anger, greed and delusion,the seeker sees in the Self ‘He Am I’.They are fools those who have not Self-knowledge,and they consequently, as a captive in hell, are tortured.

27 The Bhagavad Gita and Sahasranama are to be chanted;always the form of the Lord of Lakshmi is to be meditated upon;the mind is to be led towards the company of the good;wealth is to be shared with the needy.

28. Very readily one indulges in carnal pleasures;later on, alas, come diseases of the body.Even though in the world the ultimate end is death,even then man leaves not his sinful behaviour.

29 ‘Wealth is calamitous’, thus reflect constantly:the truth is that there is no happiness at all to be got from it.To the rich, there is fear even from his own son.This is the way with wealth everywhere.

30 The control of all activities,the sense-withdrawal, the reflection, along with japaand the practice of reaching the total-inner- silence– these, perform with care, with great care.

31 O Devotee of the lotus-feet of the teacher!May you become liberated soon from the samsara through the discipline of thesense-organs and the mind. You will come to experience theLord that dwells in your own heart.
