A few realizations :)

When you revel in happiness, you understand the kind of person you want to be.

When you sulk in despondency, you discover the kind of person you actually are.

Sorry, but may I differ?

Yeah correct, but though a clock that's stopped shows the right time twice a day, trust me, none would trust it even if they look at it at the time it's showing. It's nice to have a positive attitude, but it's equally necessary to beware of the other side too."

An idle mind is a devil's workshop;
but a busy one's not an angel's either.

The 3 elements....

"The body has a definite beginning and an end.

The Atman (soul) has neither a beginning nor an end.

The thoughts that arise from the mind have a beginning but not an end.

Let's give rise to, or atleast spread only fruitful ones :)"

Pay attention to that kind soul....

A call by its name and a gentle touch of love is all that it wants. Give it that. It loves you for the person you are and expects only your love. It is innocent. It trusts you. It's all that it knows and you are its world. Love your pet.

Maturity

It's maturity when you pity those who hurt you rather than getting angry or feeling hurt.

To see beyond the visible....

We complain about scarcity, scarcity of love, care, friends, relations, we find faults with those around, their small imperfections seem giantlike drawbacks. It's ok, that's how the human mind is trained. But definitely we can give a thought about how blessed we are in a few aspects, asking a question to ourselves, how much do we actually deserve of what we have now? Every breath we take and leave, every additional minute we get to live, the good people around that we have, their love and care, people who don't have the necessity to even worry about us coming forward to help us without even us asking them for favour, and above all God forgiving every small mistake to big sin that we commit knowingly or unknowingly. If we could think and see if we would get all this in a place devoid of benevolence, we will realize how much we have got more than what we deserve and start appreciating the blessings that have been bestowed upon us :)

Faith and Patience

When we hold on to God's feet, He puts us into the right hands :)

Prayer....

Your prayers can be silent, because God listens. He doesn't just hear them.

Nam Japa

Jai Sri Ram||

Bhakti is the only way to attain God. In Kaliyuga, Namasankeertana (chanting God's names) is the easiest way to travel along the Bhakti marga. God has given us this wonderful and easy to do method because He knows how the life of a person in Kaliyuga would be. When we start chanting we may face a lot of distractions and disturbances. But eventually the mind would get trained to go to the state of chanting with devotion. So it's ok if in the beginning we are unable to concentrate and chant. Keep telling Rama, Krshna or any God's name you want while waiting for a bus, sitting without doing any work, etc. Whether or not you think of God and chant, it definitely has 'Palan' and will be added to your Punya. Begin today and for sure it will become part of your life and you will chant with full devotion in a few days.

Thoughts....

Thoughts : that arise from inside miraculously, that can be perceived only with the inner eye, that can be expressed, that can be translated for anyone to understand, that have the power to revolutionize, both an individual as well as a society, that are indestructible, yet can not be brought under the 4 major components of science : mass, energy, space and time, something God has given to humans, with a few attributes similar to His.

Something else that I also felt apart from the awe I had for thoughts : if one (in doubt of His existence) believes in the concept of thoughts, one is only a few steps away from realizing God.

Helping Us Ripen and Transform

Getting hurt is inevitable. What we learn and realize out of it is what chisels our future and exalts the sagacity of our mind and soul. The more we get hurt, the quicker we get rid of our Karma, and the earlier we attain the feet of God, which is what is eternal bliss, the ultimate purpose of human birth. If not for the hardships we faced and heartache we underwent, would there have been a better bridge that established the propinquity we have with God now. They have been the gardeners to garner and grow the seeds of faith and patience sown by the Almighty. We will definitely agree that life is a bed of roses if we are aware of and accept the fact that roses contain thorns. A little time spent on contemplation after sympathyzing enough with the self gives inner cognition and liberates the soul of the imaginary cobwebs of misery.

Asking for the Impossible....

Why do we grow up? Can't we remain kids forever, the times when innocence and ignorance was what life was all about? Dependent, protected, unburdened, nothing to worry about, when small things where the biggest ever we wanted, crying meant tears from the eyes, and that too being only transient, the biggest decision to make was the one on candy flavour, that being taken keeping none in mind and what we chose was what WE wanted, no quandary, no regrets, no pain, no perturbation....

And though I know the answers to the above questions, though I'm aware of the fact that growing up has its own positives aiming at completeness, and though my childhood wasn't all that perfect and happy, my heart still yearns for those days. It was not the best phase of life, but definitely better in many aspects.Thank you memory, atleast I could reminisce.

காதல்....

நரை கூடினாலும் நடை கூனினாலும்
நலியாமல் தொடரும் அன்பே காதல்....

பெண்மையின் அழகு :)

தென்றல் தட்டிட ஒரு பக்கம் வீசும்
பெண்ணின் கேசம் போல்
புயல் காற்றில் ஒரு புறமாய்
கீற்றுடன் சாயும் தென்னையே
உன்னிலும் காண்கிறேன் பெண்மையின் நாணத்தை , நளினத்தை  :)

விண்ணழகே :)

பொன்னிற வட்டத்தட்டே
உன் எளிமையில் ஒளிந்திருக்கும் ஒளி பொருந்திய அழகு
மேகம் மறைத்தால் மனம் ஏங்கும்
உன்னை அது கடந்து போகும் கணங்கள் என் கண்கள் காணும் யுகங்கள்
விழி இமைக்க இயலாமல் மதி மயங்கி நின்றேன் முழுமதியே :)

வினா இல்லா விடை....

புனித வெண்ணிற ஒளியே!
நிறமில்லா மழைநீர் துளியே!
உன்னால் எவ்வாறு உருவானதோ ஏழ் வண்ண வானவில்?!

விதையில்லாமல் மரம் என்பதேது
விடையில்லாமல் வினா ஒன்றேது?

வாழ்க்கை என்பதே கேள்வியாயின்
உயிரின் பிரிவு தான் உரிய பதிலோ?

கேள்விக்குறியின் கீழே முற்றுப்புள்ளி உள்ளதே
என்றால் இரண்டும் ஒரு பொருள் தானோ?!
