I asked for Strength, God gave me difficulties to face. I asked for Wisdom, God gave me problems to solve. I asked for Courage, God gave me danger to overcome. I asked for Love, God gave me troubled people to help. I asked for Favours, God gave me opportunities. I asked for prosperity, God gave me brawn and brain to work I asked for trust, God gave me conscienceless backstabbers to deal with, I asked for faith in myself, God gave me the lowest phases of my life to overcome, I asked for humility, God gave me showers of praise to accept with a level head, I asked for best friends, God gave me just myself to talk to, I asked for security, God gave me the biggest insecurities to harden to, I asked for compassion, God gave me inhuman jerks to forgive, I asked for knowledge, God gave me profound souls to learn from, I asked for liberation, God gave me a wonderful life to live n make a difference! I never got what I wanted. They say I got every thing I needed. Question is: IS God deaf or is ...

I read a nice poem (not sure if it has a poetic grammer either) on "Value of smile". Unfortunately I don't have a good memory to remember the words for a long time. So I just put it down so that it can exist for perpetuity. It costs nothing to create much It enriches those who receive without impoverishing those who give It happens in a flash and the memory of it sometimes last for ever It cannot be begged, borrowed or stolen, but is of no earthly good to anyone until it’s given away So if in your hurry you run across someone too weary to smile, leave one of yours No one needs a smile as much as the one who has none to give

I used to wonder how come I have transformed myself from a free butterfly to a self cocooned worm. Is it the reverse growth cycle? Well whatever is it, things have to change. Change for good. I was wondering how come I used to be a winner always as a child. My thought process led me to think about my nature also. 1. I was willing to learn. Learn everything about this world. I was forever curious. I used to question a lot. If I did not get answers, I had my own logics. 2. I was active. More like Hyperactive. I did not have a single idle moment. Forever I was upto something or the other. NO fear of the future. No past to bother me about. 3. I was a good risk taker. I was never afraid of failure. But I used to give my 100% to whatever I did. Never took anybody for granted except myself. I was independent in whatever I did. I faced the consequences as well. 4. I took things in my stride. I could adapt myself so very well. No change could bother me because everytime there was a change I cha...

I read this about Original thoughts. Seemed to have echoed my own "original thoughts". Anyways, it was nice to read. I added my own views to it and have presented it down here. Original Thoughts Have you ever had a thought and believed it to be an 'original'? This is not necessarily true. While it may be a light bulb moment for you it is nothing new. It is merely your understanding of the concept that is new to you. Far from being depressing to think that there is nothing new under the sun, I find it comforting to know that these questions and concepts have been around for as long as human kind has been aware of Self. The words may change but the basic idea is the original theme. Every glass of water, every breath you take holds the same energy as someone you admire from history. Perhaps it even is the very same molecules that person inhaled or drank! Thought patterns work this way too. Thought is simply energy; and we know that energy can neither be created nor destr...

On Sunday, I was at the Besant Nagar Beach. I seem to have a magnetic attraction towards water. I was standing there in water when Bhabhi came and stood beside me. Somehow, I felt like playing with her. Slowly I drifted deeper in to the water. After a big wave came, I gave my best football shot. Almost 90% of the waters which flew against gravity landed on her. She was actually caught unawares. Then she made the world her spitoon.."Pthew.." "pthew.." she went about trying to eliminate the saltiness that few droplets had left in her mouth. She was bent on a revenge for making her taste salt. I ran away. Few men just entered the water and her shyness made her reserve the revenge for another day. We had groundnuts, sugar candy. My legs were too wet to be seated in the sand. I tried my luck in shooting down balloons. Not bad. I did not miss a single one. Every time bhaiyya and bhabhi were trying their hand, I stood behind them reciting a mantra and everytime they struc...

Crisis Management - By Swami Dayananda What we call Crisis Management , is not management of crisis. It is an expression which really means this : you create a crisis and then manage it. You first create a crisis and then manage, or try to manage and seek help …some people attract crisis, some people create crisis. If you analyse the personal life of any one person, you find that most of the crisis that the person has faced in his or her life were caused by the individual more often than not . Suppose, I have to make a decision, a decision which is painful, I generally postpone . As one grows up from childhood, one picks up this particular thing, a habit to go in for what is immediately gratifying and postpone what is painful. Even in our schools, elementary, high schools, and also college, we are told by the teachers, do first the easy ones and deal with the difficult ones later. If it is purely based on time management, then I can appreciate, but I find this is entertained, even i...

Success in Day-to-day living - By Swami Dayananda Success is something that we all want to have. Who doesn't want to be successful? Even a sanyasi wants to be successful, a successful sanyasi. As a human being we all have a number of ambitions, desires, likes and dislikes are there and you want to fulfill them . Nothing wrong . Somehow in this country there is a widespread belief that, to have a desire is a weakness.That is wrong thinking. Desiring is a privilege of a human being, only a human being can have a desire. But at the same time, this desire is something to be fulfilled, if it is not fulfilled, then it is a problem. Therefore they say desire is bad, just like, if you say you have a headache, they say remove the head, then who is free form headache. So, removing head if you have a headache is a silly thing. No desire can be fulfilled without effort, there should be effort, there should be enthusiasm, you require courage to undertake anything. Effort, you may have, enthusia...
