Whats the worst that could happen post no 47 7.17 AM
I used to mess up my examinations because of my nervousness.My mind used to go blank ..One of the ways which I used to use to reduce the stress is
When ever I am in a situation which is very important and which can make a nervous wreck I think of one thing - Whether I can handle the situation if everything goes wrong.If the failure doesn't cause he end of the world ..then it is something which you should not be worried about.Thinking of the big picture always gives us a better view of your life.

Those few words post no:46 6.47 AM
There are few words which get imprinted in our minds from various staes of life.The comments or compliments given by the teachers mostly stay the longest in our heads.We play it over and over in my head and it enters into our sub conscious.These statements play with our self esteem and self worth.Phobias which enter our mind ..enter when we are kids ..We are vulnerable and we accept it as the truth.A reasonable expectation of our own capabilities gives us a healthy outlook on our lives.As we challenge our fears slowly they lose the power they have on us...
Misconceptions post no: 45 6.13AM
There are so many instances in life when both sides of the arguments looks right.Both of the arguments lead to the truth..only perceptions are different.The view may be different from different points.Life seems to offer so much when we give up our narrow minded thinking.Life is far more bigger than a argument.It is better to solve a fight rather than develop an ulcer in our body out of the hatred.When you are angry it is like throwing a hot rod on your enemy.But when you throw the rod you burn your hands first.
Simplicity Post No 44 5.34 AM
Most of the problems of the world can be solved by using easy solutions rather than complicated answers.Trying to be simple reduces all the distractions and we can concentrate on things which give us meaning..
Manifest plainness,
Embrace simplicity,
Reduce selfishness,
Have few desires.
- Lao-Tzu, Tao Te Ching
Making the simple complicated is commonplace;
making the complicated simple,
awesomely simple, that's creativity.
- Charles Mingus

Be Yourself Post no:43 5.27 AM
Many times in our life we have to wear many masks all through our life.But when we go through different situations we have to change from one mask to another.But it is easier if the inner self synchronizes with the outer self.There will be no complications or confusions.We would follow a path and face its consquences..We wont change for each and everybody we meet but only change when its worth it..True inner change cant be brought about by somone else it comes from within you.
A Letter To A Dying Man Post No 42 4.41 AM
Bassui wrote the following letter to one of his disciples who was about to die:
"The essence of your mind is not born, so it will never die. It is not an existance, which is perishable. It is not an emptiness, which is a mere void. It has neither color nor form. It enjoys no pleasures and suffers no pains.
"I know you are very ill. Like a good Zen student, you are facing that sickness squarely. You may not know exactly who is suffering, but question yourself: What is the essence of this mind? Think only of this. You will need no more. Covet nothing. Your end which is endless is as a snowflake dissolving in the pure air."

Solitude 4.22 AM Post No:41
It takes only 15 minutes of time..
It helps to quieten your mind..To relieve the stresses and the obessive thought patterns which we create for ourselves.It helps you make small decisions of your life..These small acts are the ones which create our destiny..

Thankful For....Post No:40 3.38 AM
As a teenager I always used to hate failure..I used to have loads of ego which used to make me difficult to accept bad knocks of life..But looking back at my life I am most thankful for my failures.It taught me to be humble and to be nice to people.The pride and ego took a back seat .The first thing now I notice about people is the human ness and not the achivement list.What ever a person achieves is important but that is just a part of life not the whole

Foundations ..39 post 3.25 Am
Humans are interdependent species.We can most of the times..not survive without dependency on some idealogy or other.The few of the important foundations which people live their lives are:
1.Religious idealogy
2.Spouse dependency/children dependency
3.Freind dependency/Relative dependency
4.Core Principles
Few of the roles are organised for making our life better.They are based on human interactions which are fickle and based on the circumstances of the life.The dependency on principle is not always practical in the modern world.Religious idealogy provides us limitations which never gives a chance to open our mind and our hearts.This makes more sense for people who follow one faith and are not open to other faiths.
Each of the dependency attaches us in a way which may give us a lot of pain in the future.But to depend upon nothing and arrive at something more special and enlightening is a courageous path which is mostly followed by the enlightened being.
Gold cant be strong on its own .. even though copper is cheaper ..it is added to gold ..Even though it is cheaper..

Singularity and god July 30 ..2.38 AM post 38
As the star force is drained out.The star's energy acts inward and a strong gravitaional field acts inwards and a strong force of gravity pushes everything inside.It forma a massive mass and then explodes .The first big bang takes palce.The edge of a black hole is a place where the time stands still.Everything which is lost is gone..The information,planets,stars,humans all disappear into the vastness of the black hole.When the hugeness of the black hole is considered and when time stands still where is the divinity??Why is it so difficult for us to know the edges of the universe..Why the secrecy and why the mystery ..??The universe is expanding along sides ..where is it going to lead us ..It is sometime scary and sometimes wonderful to know that a human mind can gather so much information and make sense and still not go totally mad...
Contradiction post 37 2.22 PM
In the land of the relative to search for the absolute
To search for a whole from a part
The belief which stems from the roots of our mind
To be represented as something form the heart
To be from one source and still discriminate
The images of creation at the outside
and the divine in the inner sanctum
The silence of mediataion and the
confusion of priestly hyms..
Air, water,fire and earth mix in various proportions
The various forms which exist spring out the very core
They react and destroy at the same moment
In the land of contradictions the pure mixes with the unpure
they spring out of the same light ....and enter into darkness

Dance of Creation 2.00AM Post 36
The destruction and creation of life exists
At the beats of music the dance starts
The death of ignorance under the legs of the artist
The ever gleaming ganges flowing through the creator
The half moon shining towards the creator
The duality of white and black
The throat filled with poison
the day starting and ending on the other side of the face
The balance of matter anad antimatter
the action of creation and destruction
Balance is what which is obtained
when the force meets with the creator..
These definitions of vagueness
The influence of ignorance
The enlightment of the soul
All available in one being ..
Time being the crown of the omniscent one
All being flow into and out of it
Dance it is all ..which make sit come true
our universe ,me and you...

A painter's expression POst 35 1.23 AM
The inner expressions find a realease through what I do
The colours play a game on me everytime I come in contact
Hypnotized under control,wavering into consciousness and craziness
I am controlled by a trance which does not leave me
There is a explosion in my mind
The inner eye which reflects the longing and joy opens
Blues splashing like ocean waves comes out the deep sadness of existence
Red with anger and fire comes with the life force of earth
Greens with all its calmness gives me the patience to think
Black,white and grey sway between the duality of life and death
The goal is to satify the inner conscience
To just take it out of yourself
The curves meet with starightness of space
The real mixes with the imaginary
End result is never revealed to the conscious mind
Its a blind faith game painters love to play...

Captured 12.54 AM post 34
I try to look back at the place I grew up
The trees have cut down
the lands have gone barren
Floods have swept the entire place
Over cultivation have destroyed the life in soil
The desert now emits heat ...I search for a oasis
Unable to find that
I take shade under a lonely tree
This land is vacated..it is a orphan on its own
I feel sad for the place I have grown up
Does grains of sand have some kind of existence
A pebble rolls down towards my feet..
The expanse which meets the eye
belongs not to the rocks or the few trees creeping up
It belongs to time..
the memories take possession of it ..they own ..we cannot grab it away

Invisible Lines post 33 12.23AM
As I walk through the narrow path way
Ice and fire mix togther in front of me
I try not to have eye contact with anyone
The hands of young children with weapons
Brings tears to my eyes
The extent how much hate can penetrate
The destruction of innocence
The cruelty of life flashes through
Who makes these lines of divisons
Why do the warriors think its their duty to protect
God's land
As a united planet these lines dont exist
Waves of humanity are swept away by violence on daily basis
Hate can never win ..Meek shall rule the world one day
A heaven can be transformed into hell with physical brutality
But the lines still shall never exist
A country is formed not by borders or by pathways but by people
The future shall be decided not by conquering
But by declaration of independence from the hands of violence
Ice and fire mix togther in front of me
I try not to have eye contact with anyone
The hands of young children with weapons
Brings tears to my eyes
The extent how much hate can penetrate
The destruction of innocence
The cruelty of life flashes through

Land Of Oppurtunity post 32 11.57 Pm
I have come here as a traveller
May be the bits of paper may shatter my resolve
I may become a slave to the senses
So many things to consume in this land
So less time I have got
Where can I find the right oppurtunity
to exist on my own
My mind gets diverted with the various sites I see
Not a poor beggar in sight
No one is troubled here
I wonder how many people get lucky..
The place I come from has got everything divine
Saints and beggars roam through the roads
A religious experience on every lane
There is so much traffic on the narrow roads
The guardians of God the cows are given prefernce to walk on
holy streets
The divinity in confusion and over abundance of emotion exists
A cold shoulder to life is a rare occasion
As a tourist I find it amazing to be in land of oppurtunity
But when the call of the soil comes pulling through
the over secured ways
I may turn back to find the route back to my motherland
May be the bits of paper may shatter my resolve
I may become a slave to the senses
So many things to consume in this land
So less time I have got
Where can I find the right oppurtunity
to exist on my own
My mind gets diverted with the various sites I see
Not a poor beggar in sight

Divine Idol -8 Post No 31 11.15 PM
As she passes through the roads her soles start bleeding
She had to wait under the shade of huge trees
The only thing she possessed was the ivory idol
The travellers gave her food and the passer- by's threw coins
The songs of Mira bai capitivated everyone
Her devotion moved them to tears
A group of monks gave her a safforn cloth
She started singing and dancing to the trance of Krishna
The Vrindavan people were honored to have a saint among them
A temple was built for the saint Mira Bai ...
"With my tears,
I watered the creeper of love that I planted;
Now the creeper has grown spread all over,
and borne the fruit of bliss.
The churner of the milk churned with great love.
When I took out the butter,
no need to drink any buttermilk.
I came for the sake of love-devotion;
seeing the world, I wept. "
-Mirabai
The Divine Idol-7 post no:30 10.52 PM
The queen has placed the young bride in the fickle hands
of the king
The king and the prince decide that she is not fit to be
the princess of such a great kingdom
She being a singer in the temple coutyard
A woman acting like a preist of Krishna
the dishonour to the god has been done
She has commmitted the sin which cant be unwritten
Her legs dont listen to her ..she dances and sways at sunrise
She stares at the idol of Krishna as if there is life in it
What sort of impure heart can make a girl from such a good house
behave like a courtesan..
The judgement has been passed..the servants were shocked
tears welled up in their eyes
of the king
The king and the prince decide that she is not fit to be

Divine Idol 6 Post no :29 10.22PM
The coldness in her body disappears she starts sweating
The wailing in her voice stops ..she starts trembling
The doctor runs to treat her ..but she gets up on her own
Its like a scary dream ..the reality looks unreal
The sadness returns to her ..she wants to run and search her idol
But surrounded by people she fails to make an escape
She suddenly starts getting scared and the reality sinks in
The influence of poison has deluded her mind
That the idol is there only
No one can steal that away ...
Once again she goes into a trance like dream
The queen screams at the servants and tells them to take her away
With anger she goes to decide the destiny of the princess
The wailing in her voice stops ..she starts trembling
The doctor runs to treat her ..but she gets up on her own
Its like a scary dream ..the reality looks unreal
The sadness returns to her ..she wants to run and search her idol
But surrounded by people she fails to make an escape
She suddenly starts getting scared and the reality sinks in
The influence of poison has deluded her mind
That the idol is there only
No one can steal that away ...
