Yes, change is the word. Everything changes...
People change, situations change, relations change..
Change is the key ..to everything.
Nothing remains the same forever.
What is today; 'is' not 'the' tomorrow.
If you are thinking you are safe & secured,
You are mistaken.
If you are thinking you are dumped & depressed,
You are mistaken.
If you are thinking negative,
You are still mistaken.
If you have nothing today,
You are mistaken.
Your tomorrow 'is' never the same.
Who knows what is stored for tomorrow.
Nothing is sure...
And if you are sure,
You are again mistaken.
Whatever happens, happens for Good or Bad.
Take life as it comes,
Because if you don't, you are mistaken.
We are all born in this world to fulfill our dreams...unfinished..incomplete, somewhere, someplace in the past.As I look down on Earth from the space I cannot see a spec of human being..simply a blue & green ball moving on its own pace & rhythm unknown of unlimited dreams of men, women & children.
As I sit under the sky at night, I see stars & planets. It gives me a strange feeling..we all are like small ants moving out of our houses when the day breaks to various destinations to do our jobs while some stay back and in the evening come back to our respective homes or shelters. Some don't come back but they wish to be back with their friends & family.
Life is strange, basically we all are doing the same thing but our ways are different, our intentions are different. We all are playing our roles. Our need based society throws us in different situations & circumstances & we flow with it.
But again as I look down on Earth from the space I cannot see a spec of human being..simply a blue & green ball moving on its own pace & rhythm.
A few days back I shared a near death experience with my friends on FB and today I am sharing with you.
It was an usual Sunday morning in Darjeeling, a beautiful hill station in West Bengal, India. I was 19. It was winter and the weather was too cold, we had already experienced snowfall that year. I use to live with my mom, dad & brother. The house had a partition between the kitchen & the bathroom....yeah our 2 bed roomed apartment was not so spacious. In winter time my mother use to light a fire out of coal and keep it in the kitchen so that the bathroom remained warm. We were all ignorant of the fact that coal produced methane gas and if this happened in a closed room, it may cause the depletion of oxygen in the room and the person may get killed.
I had just finished bathing and started feeling dizzy. Slowly everything was blur in front of me. I could not open the door, my fingers were numb. I couldn't breathe properly. There was a huge window and I remember tapping on the glass.I could see faces, all blur, shouting at me, but I couldn't hear them. I somehow opened the door and after that I couldn't remember anything.
I was in the most beautiful garden that I had ever seen. It was full of beautiful flowers ..especially I remember, pink, white, blue, purple & yellow. I was all dressed in white walking alone or rather floating. There were narrow paths in between the flower beds. I was in so much peace and happiness. I was alone and I was least bothered about my family or friends. It was an extra ordinary feeling that I can never describe. I don't know for how long I was there.Time had stopped for me. I could hear voices coming from far, very far away. I think I was regaining my consciousness.
When I totally regained my consciousness, my mother was literally yelling in my ear, crying and calling my name, holding me in her arms. I found myself surrounded by neighbors and well wishers and my mom all in tears. I can make out that she thought she had lost me. She asked me afterwards how couldn't I hear her, but I had no answer. For ten minutes I had no connection with the world but I had this wonderful experience that I can never forget in my whole life. My mother was so happy to get me back. And yes that day I think I saw heaven and I forgot everything .
We are born in this world to experience ..suffering, pain,anger,detachment, cruelty, love, hatred, compassion, togetherness..& so many other emotions. We miss all these emotions in Heaven because you are nobody there. But on Earth you are somebody. So experience life and enjoy every moment of it. But make sure which emotions you choose to live your life fully.
Many people mistakenly assume that compassion is a religious practice. This is not the case.It is true that compassion is central to the ethical teachings of all the major religious traditions, but in itself it is not a religious value. Many animals can appreciate it and certainly mammals have a capacity for it.
Many people also assume that feeling compassion for others is only good for the others and not for oneself. This is also incorrect. Whether or not our kindness brings benefit to others will depend on a great many factors, some of which will be outside our control. But whether we succeed in bringing benefit to others or not, the first beneficiary of compassion is always oneself. When compassion or warmheartedness, arises us and shifts our focus away from our own narrow self- interest, it is as if we open an inner door. Compassion reduces fear, boosts our confidence and brings us inner strength. By reducing distrust, it opens us to others and brings us a sense of connection with them and a sense of purpose and meaning of life. compassion also gives us respite from our own difficulties.
By Dalai Lama
People make you happy;
People make you cry.
I try to make my heart strong to overcome sadness.
As I write these words I'm sad very sad deep inside.
But how to recover myself...because I know Life does not wait for anyone;
It moves on....
And so I too must.
If I not, still Life moves on...
Time is ticking so is Life.
I do not have any control on it.
In whatever way it comes , I have to accept it.
I sit without doing anything...
Still Life moves on pushing me ahead...
Making my days on this earth shorter.
Time & Breath, I suppose are same.
You do not have any control on them.
It just keeps on moving whether you like it or not.
But yes, Breath stops one day..But
Time keeps on moving.......
