No one is Untouched

26th Sept Night 11:30 PM IST , Manoj , my childhood friend lost his mother . I would have been the 1st one whom he called . Totally down and depressed , the news a blow to me . Started my day yesterday with though full in my mind . I was also distressed  since he was always there standing next to me in all my good and bad times . When he needed me , I was not .

Today morning as well I called him , he was calm .

It’s just the thought which is left .

I also communicated this to papa . And he said , we are at the intersection of the life  where these news are obvious . At this age , when the journey of life is almost at its end , it’s like ... you are standing at the shore of the river . You can see the river flowing and waiting for your turn when the flow of the river would take you along with it .

I don’t have any word to explain my fear of losing someone again .

झिलमिल सितारों का आंगन होगा

Maa had a charismatic figure . Always jolly and smiling . She was madly in love of papa and never allowed us to say a word about him which might be negative . And so has been her choice of songs ...all revolving around papa and sweet and pure . One such song I heard today morning made me feel emotional again

झिलमिल सितारों का आँगन होगा
रिमझिम बरसता सावन होगा
ऐसा सुन्दर सपना, अपना जीवन होगा

प्रेम की गली में, एक छोटा सा घर बनायेंगे
कलियाँ ना मिले ना सही, काँटों से सजायेंगे
बगिया से सुन्दर वो बन होगा

तेरी आँखों से सारा, संसार मैं देखूंगी
देखूंगी इस पार या, उस पार मैं देखूंगी
नैनो को तेरा ही, दर्शन होगा

फिर तो मस्त हवाओं के हम झोंकें बन जायेंगे
नैना सुन्दर सपनों के झरोखे बन जायेंगे
मन आशाओं का दर्पण होगा

Fun of being Arjun

Before the start of the Mahabharata , there were lots of questions and disturbance in Arjun's mind . All normal questions which we all thing every day .

The moment Krishna explained the Karma theory , thinks were upside down for Arjun . All the difference was in just one line : who is the actual doer ...and he was relaxed and convinced. Through out the Yudh , decisions were taken by Krishna and Arjun was just a puppet .

That’s the fun of being Arjun . Imagine ...your sarthi for life is Krishna...awesome .

Though itself makes me feel soo delighted .

Back to the tough part ...it needs complete surrender ...am I  ??? :)

Siddhi

“Possession of material riches, without inner peace, is like dying of thirst while bathing in a lake.”

Paramahansa Yogananda

Inner peace is the ultimate achievement . I have always found myself disturbed when there is disturbance outside . But on the contrary, peace has been always inner .

Sitting alone in the room with light music . Completely submerged in the ocean of thought and focus straight on the divine , is something to look for .

I would be lying if I say , material success doesn’t excites me . I too get moved so easily and i enjoy a lot . But meeting god , touching him and finally being like him is the goal .

I still wonder how one would feel meeting the almighty.
