A Still Mind

Take all thoughts from your head,
Throw them out and give a shout,
Empty the head and empty the mind,
Give those fears a killing time.

Free the mind, and lose some weight,
With a lighter head you shall state,
The mind is still, and it feels all fine,
With an empty mind you’ll be alright.

A still mind, is more alive,
A still mind, helps you thrive,
A still mind, will kill your fears,
A still mind, you’ll think very clear.

Break the Wall

Let me tell you a short story. In a company, one fine Monday morning, the CEO put up a notice saying “Yesterday the person hindering your growth has passed away. Please gather in the conference room at 10:00 a.m. to pray for his soul.” All the employees were curious to find out who this person was, who was hindering their growth.

Though many were making sad faces as someone had gone away, in their minds they were happy that now they would be able to progress and grow in life. At 10:00 a.m. all employees gathered in the conference room and curiously went ahead to the coffin to see this person, Only to be shocked to find a mirror kept in the coffin. They all realized by just a positive thought, that now they will be able to progress in life. This made them feel good and gave them a positive approach to work and life, as they believed someone else was hindering their growth.

It made them understand that it was their own fears that had created walls of in their minds and hindered their growth. A positive thought momentary broke all the walls of fear in their minds. That is all it takes, a positive thought, to move ahead and not let anything hinder our growth and path of success to life.

Make a Life

Assumptions

Decisions made on assumptions alone,
Is not the best way to take things on,
Assume and create more walls of fear,
Deep in your mind with thoughts unclear.


Assumptions assumptions; that’s the way we work,
Assumptions assumptions; just thinking too much,
Assumptions assumptions; only creates more walls,
Assumptions assumptions; and your thoughts will fall.


Fear is assumed from things not known,
Assumptions based on hollow tones,
Don’t assume and it will be seen,
With no assumptions the mind is clean.

Karma of Ego

The concept of Karma says you will reap as you sow. As per this concept, you are constantly writing and changing your destiny. You need to maintain a balance sheet of your good and bad karmas for life. Depending on your balance, your next life will be affected. If your balance sheet has more good, then you start your next life with a good base and if you were bad, your next life will start with struggles and failures.

We all know the statements given above. What we need to understand is how to get this balance right. Karma is basically a product of your ego. As long as there is ego, there will be some good or bad karma. The key is to be free from Karma to achieve moksh, which means we have to be free of ego. The most difficult thing for any human is to be free from ego. Being free from ego is that no material/emotional things of the world affect you. Letting go of materialities and emotions of life is the only way of being free from ego.

It should not matter if you win or lose, but it should matter that you have learnt. Just because you have learnt something does not make you a greater person as compared to others. So being free of this kind of ego is being free of Karma. In turn you will complete the balance from previous life's Karma and achieve moksh in this life.

Wealth is not in making money, but in making the man while he is making money.

Food for Soul

You all get hungry every now and then,
Your tummy feels the pinch and you begin,
To ask for food and fill your tummy,
A satisfying meal but we are still hungry.

Your soul needs food just like your tummy,
Your soul needs strength & heart, sounds funny?
It needs the same love & care,
The soul needs you to be aware.

Food for soul is prayer & peace,
Food for soul you must not miss,
Feed the soul and give it love,
Such a soul will help you lift above.

Happiness

The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts.

The Seventh Sense

We all have heard about the sixth sense. When a person has his/her sixth sense active they are able to look into the future, perform remote viewing etc. This is the state of the mind very difficult to attain but once reached, could give you information using the forces of nature around you.

However I believe there is something called the seventh sense, a higher state of mind than the sixth sense. This is the state when our mind/body/soul is in complete synchronization with the forces of nature. Once the seventh sense is active, we are able to manipulate the forces of nature around us. The seventh sense lets us create/change things, which people would believe to be magic or miracle.

A classic example of the presence of the seventh sense being active is Shirdi Sai Baba. He used to perform such acts people used to call miracles or magic. However my belief is his seventh sense was highly active and he was in total synchronization with the forces of nature. And hence could manipulate these forces for the greater good of mankind. Maybe even during the Mahabharata the great kings had their seventh sense active, which were used during wars to manipulate the forces of nature and input power into every arrow that was shot at the enemy.

Right or Wrong

Right or Wrong, Who must decide?
Right or Wrong, Oh what fight,
Right maybe Wrong and Wrong maybe Right,
A question that haunts you all your life.

You say its right; others say it’s wrong,
How will you decide, what is to be done?
Put yourself in the others shoes,
Then decide what to choose.

Someone else’s shoes may help you decide
What’s to come from your actions in sight?
Think from both the sides and realize,
What’s right from wrong and wrong from right!

Should You Pray?

Many people in this world think why should you pray? Is there a god? Well I cannot comment on if there is a god and if he listens to your prayers. But I certainly would say we must pray. Now you might question me if there is no god then why should we pray? Who is listening to our prayers? The answer is you are listening to the prayers. The vibration of sounds in each prayer helps open your senses and helps you think, what someone else could not think.

Well if you pray everyday like a routine, it helps discipline your mind. Its like going to the gym everyday it disciplines your body and you become fit. The same way praying disciplines the mind. A disciplined mind helps you control your thoughts, which in turn lets you think clearly. If you are in control of your thoughts, you will remain more calm and will be able to take the right decisions and create the right life for your self. This eventually will lead to a life you wanted, which will make your life a Happy Life.

Dose of Thought

We must not reply on what lies dimly in the distance, but on what lies clearly at hand.

Wishing

Many of us spend half of our time wishing for things,
when we could have them if we didn't spend half our time wishing.

What are you worth?

Let me tell you a small story first. A man at a seminar started by holding up a huge bank note. Not huge in size, but huge in value. In this room were 200 people, he asked, “Who would like to accept this bank note of immense value?” Hands started going up. He said, “I am going to give this bank note to one of you but first, let me do this. “He proceeded to crumple the bank note up. He then asked, “Who still wants it?” Still the hands were up in the air.

“Well,” he replied, “what if I do this?” And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now all crumpled and dirty. “Now who still wants it?” Still the hands went into the air. No matter what he did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth the immense amount as printed on each face of the note.

The same is our lives. We are all worth something. But at times life could drop and crumple us for the decisions we make, based on the circumstances that come our way. At such times we feel worthless and that we are not good for nothing. But no matter what will happen, you will never lose your value. Dirty or clean, crumpled or creased, you are still priceless to this life. Each failure will teach and add to your experience in turn increasing your worth in life.

The Light

A thought could rain light on this world,
Then a thought could change the entire world,
It’s the light within that we must feel,
A light with power that makes all real.

You prayer to the lord and ask for things,
But it’s really your light from deep within,
Which changes the world, and how you see,
A light, a thought which makes things real.

So help grow this light, don't push it down,
This light could change your world around,
A light so strong that makes it right,
A light that shines in a dark dull night.

Days of Life

All the days are never the same in life. If all days were same, like all days were happy days, you would be bored of it. Then you would look forward to having some sadness in life. The problem is we humans need constant change. Something around must change. Even though some people believe they do not like change, the fact is they do not like change only for some things in life. Else there will be no joy left in life.

So if you are having a bad day today, look at the bigger picture. One it’s not the end of the world, and two you have learned something from this bad day. The only difference is you will realize the learning from the bad day on a later day. So when facing tough times, always remember, like good times, bad times will never stay forever. Everything in this world is always changing, whether you like it for not. Hence bad times have no choice but to change to good at some point. It is just a matter of time.

Smile

Times maybe difficult in your life,
Times of anger and times to cry,
But a smile can keep bad days at bay,
So all you should do is smile and say,

Smile smile I must remind,
Smile smile the world is fine,
Smile smile it makes your day,
Smile smile I will feel OK.

A bad day will not last forever,
But a smile can shine the day like summer,
Life is only good if you want,
So think about it and sing along,

Smile smile I must remind,
Smile smile the world is fine,
Smile smile it makes your day,
Smile smile I will feel OK.

Trouble

Nobody in this world can trouble you, but yourself.

Dose of Thought

Whatever games are played with us, we must play no games with ourselves.

Clear Mind

We all face difficulties in life, at work, at college, at school etc. However at times we are unable to think clearly and hence decide to quit from the challenge life throws at us. But at such times we must realize that these problems are only a small part of life, not the heart of life.

At the given point of time in life it seems to be the only thing in life, but that’s because we fear our future, is the reason we fear our present. It is important during tough times in life to take a moment and clear your minds, only to realize the problem in life is very small and only a learning of life. Also remember this is how it works.

Clear Mind --leads to --> No Fear -- leads to --> Solutions for problems -- leads to --> Stronger person in life.

Think Think ...

Life is a mix of what your ego wants to do, what experience tells you to do, and what your nerves let you do.
