The ENERGY Of LOVE

There have been instances our lives, when we long to help someone, to express our solidarity and love, but are unable to do so. Circumstances prevent us from approaching them or sometimes, the person declines our support n chooses stay closed off from us. At such times, the only thing we have left within us is love. When we can do nothing, we can still love, expecting no reward, change or gratitude in return.
It may appear fantasy at first thought, but it is proved by experience- love’s got an energy associated with it. When we love truly, the energy of love begins to change d world around us. This energy permeates all matter n always achieves its aim. “Time doesn’t transform man. Will power doesn’t transform man. Love transforms,” says Henry Drummond.
Love cures ailments of mind as well as body. Its energy is divine n non-quantifiable. But sometimes, we feel that love builds traps n can end up destroying a person who has resolved to give him or herself completely to it. This feeling is so complex yet, deep down, is the only reason we continue to live, struggle and improve.
An attempt to understand it in the subsequent post(s)...

ACTIONS speak LOUD!!!



A beautiful story that I came across recently, goes like this-
Once there was a wise man, who moved into a new n big city. No one took much notice of him n his teachings were not taken up by d populace. After some time, he became d object of their mockery, taunts n ironic comments.
One day while he was walking down d Main Street, a group of men n women began insulting him. Instead of pretending that he had not noticed, he turned towards them n blessed them.
One of d men said, “Are u deaf too? We call u d foulest of names n u respond with sweet word!”
“We, each of us, can only offer what we have within us”, came d wise man’s reply.

Personal Ravings........

Out here in Jabalpur, in Madhya pradesh... Out moving in d suburbs, saw a great sight....an agnostic that i am.... saw a Hanuman temple at a chowk, surrounded all around by local shops, .... what astonised me was, almost all shops were run by muslims, with their titles in Urdu... I even thought, what was d need when they could hav set d temple at a Hindu locality...
Such great harmony...all focus on d differences but India continues 2 stay united as one... n will stay so.... always...

Hope Is All That We've Got!!!

In one of the Greek classics, Zeus asked Pandora 2 carry a box which she is forbidden 2 open. However, just as with Eve in Christian mythology, her curiosity gets d better of her. She lifts d lid n at that moment all d evils of d world fly out n scatter about d Earth. Only one thing remains inside: Hope.
Despite d fact that everything contradicts us, despite our sadness n feeling of helplessness, despite being almost convinced that at this moment nothing will get better, we cannot afford 2 lose d one thing that silently keeps us alive: hope- that word treated with such irony by pseudo-intellectuals who consider it a synonym of fake consolation or deceit . That word so manipulated by governments who make promises which they know they’ll not keep, thus inflicting more wounds on the people’s trust. That word that rises with us every new morning gets sorely wounded during the progress of d day, n dies at nightfall. And yet is reborn d next day, again n again!
There is a saying ‘Where there is life, there is hope’. True. But, then there’s an extension that’s as much true- where there is hope, there’ll be life. As I look across, finding myself n my dear pals immersed in troubles n pains, I take heart from the fact n I hope that- there is a beautiful tomorrow very much in our hands. We just need to reach out for it.

DEATH is the answer 2 LIFE

Yes! DEATH is the most important thing in life, without any competition, what-so-ever. We are all walking towards death, but we never know when death will touch us. Therefore, it is our duty to look around us, to be grateful about every single minute. But, it pains me to see n know a lot of people who choose 2 die when they r still living. They continue working n eating n carrying on with their social activities. But they do everything on automatic pilot, unaware of the magic moment that each day brings with it, never stopping 2 think of d miracle of life, not understanding that d next minute could b their last on this planet.
 We should rather be grateful 2 death, because it makes us think about d importance of each decision we take or fail 2 take; it makes us stop doing anything that keeps us stuck in d category of ‘living dead’, n instead, urges us to risk everything, to bet everything on those things we have always dreamt of doing, because, whether we like it or not, the angel of death is waiting for us………….
