The divine within

Its amazing , and it always touch me when I read Dohas of Kabir .
In one of the doha he says ,
Translation
Like seed contains the oil, fire in flint stone
Your temple seats the Divine, realize if you can.
We all always think of what exactly is GOD . Kabir reveals the truth and says that as in anti-seed oil is present , but till the time we don’t put energy , the oil is not visible. Same way , till the time the flint stone is not rubbed, fire is not visible .

Kabir thus says that the body which is the temple has divine within. This divine is the portion of the supreme ( soul ) in our true self. We are unaware of this reality because of our ignorance and awakening

Big Thank You !!

It was in the year 2008 , Feb . We were going to Kolkata from Bokaro . All of us were completely broken and empty since it was just 10 days that we lost our mother . We were in the 1976 made Fiat of my father and just before Durgapur, the car broke down. Complete engine oil leaked and we were standing helpless by the side of the road. After much effort , I got an auto and went to a petrol bunk . Got the oil and then there was no means by which I can come back. Tried a lot for lift but didn’t worked. Finally one truck driver stopped and I thanked him and sat inside . He dropped me near the car and when I tried giving him tips , he straight forward refused . I was astonished .
He helped me when I needed the most without even knowing me. If met again , I would again like to say a “Big Thank You “

The Mirror of relationship

Today morning , I was having my bed tea and was searching channel to watch news. Just landed at NDTV Good times where a program about relationship was discussed with none other than Deepak Chopra .Amazing thoughts and a lot of things for our soul to think about .
He says that we cannot be virtuous if we do not have the capacity for evil. We cannot be wise if we do not have an inner fool. And we cannot be generous if we do not have a sting person inside us . In fact, the most enlightened people are those who accept their own ambiguity and full potential for light and dark. Everyone we see in the world is a reflection of ourselves and the traits we see most clearly in others are the ones that are the strongest in ourselves. Deepak calls this the mirror of relationship and says its a powerful tool for emotional freedom.
When we have a strong negative reaction to someone , we can be certain that they're reflecting traits that we also possess but have unwilling to embrace . We spend so much time denying that we have a dark side , and then end up projecting these denied qualities onto other people . For the same reason , we are attracted to certain people because they have the same traits that we have .

Pt Bhimsen Joshi

24th Jan , the day when the great legendry Bharat Ratna Pt Bhimsen Joshi passed away. It has been great loss to the nation and too all the music lovers around the world. It came from my father , the love for classical music. I feel blessed to have been in the era of Pt Bhimsen Joshi . His powerful voice and clarity always excited me . Even his Bhajan recitals have been out of this world with a soulful approach .
May his soul rest in peace. The only thing left for us now is his memories and his divine voice .

The END !!

It has again came back ...the day when I lost my mother...2nd Feb 2008 , 10:00 pm
It’s really difficult to understand and digest till it doesn’t happen to oneself. I never thought that this can ever happen to me ...losing my mother so early ...although I knew that this is the ultimate truth ... "death"
Each moment is unique in itself and the very next moment what can happen is unpredictable .
I know this day will keep on coming every year till the time I don’t leave my body ...and will as well remind me again that I have lost my most precious thing in life .

62nd Independence Day

In my whole life , this independence day has been the most happening one surrounded with a vibrant political crisis . I can’t see a single political party which is not corrupt , self-centered and far far detached from the issues of common man. You ask a Babu and the simple answer of positivity is GDP . A society which has such a huge gap between rich and poor, how can GDP decide that the society is prospering. It works only when there is equality . The sole reason for all this is the lack of will to implement plans which can benefit the lower cadre of society. It’s shameful , but seems even out PM , who has the most distinct and longest CV in the world doesn’t understand and just want to hold an office for the sake of holding it . It’s really a disturbing trend and I really don’t know in what circumstances we would be celebrating our 63rd Independence day .

Life Beyond Life & Death


Just sit alone in a room , with a light soft music on and dim light .Close your eyes and then “what next” ……what when no one is around and you are left alone .
Horrible experience …right ?
Life is just that …you come alone and you have to go as well . What next …is life after death . Will I be able to meet my dear once whom I have lost ??
Don’t know , but its strange to understand that someone next to you may be not there the very next moment .
May be that’s the reason Krishna mentioned “Attachment “ in Gita . A doctor is not able to perform operation on her daughter , although he may never have failed , only because he knows his hands would shake ….and this is because of attachment .
Attachment to any form …living or non living is a pain …and anyone who has lost someone special can understand.
I am also confused …what next ??????????
