Whom do you think *YOU* really are ?!

Jai Gurudev !



You say , 
                  "I did this , I did that  !"
You say ,
                  " I am happy , I am sad !"
You say , 
                  "I want this  , I want  that  !"
You say ,
                  " I think so ,  I don't think  so "


Who's that  *I*  in you  , around whom  the whole life revolves ?


Which is that *I* portion of you , you want yourself to be identified with ?!




Are *you*  , your body , which keeps changing its appearance over the years ?


Are *you* , your breath which keeps changing its frequency along with your state of mind ?


Are *you* , your mind which keeps changing its thoughts moment to moment ?


Or


Are *you* , your intellect ,  which keeps changing its logics and concepts from time to time ?


Are *you* , your memory , which keeps changing its storage contents over a period of time ?


Or


Are *you* , your ego ,  which keeps changing its boosting factor minute to minute ?




Though *you* constitute of  all these changing factors ,
don't you think that there is something that is *unchanging * in you , whom you would like to be identified with always ?

Yes, that * UNCHANGING *  me is beyond all the changing  factors !!

I  am  That !!  

The UNTOUCHED , the UNAFFECTED , the  UNCHANGING  Self  !!

The  Truth !!

Love & smiles.... 

Why are you sad , my dear ?

Jai Gurudev !!




Why are you sad , my dear ?



It was one bright sunny morning , just before the onset of the afternoon. Time to refresh and go for a coffee break  at the office cafetaria. 

Sitting with a colleague of mine over the coffee table ,  relishing the first sip of the aromatic coffee , freshly ground in the Coffee machine , was indeed refreshing . Just after a few sip , my sight took a leap and caught hold of something unusual , outside in the garden area.  

There sat perching on the branch of a wide spread tree , a lovely green colour parrot . Was just admiring the beauty of the Creation and my eyes sticked on to the beautiful bird for some more moments , completely unaware of the coffee cup getting empty gradually.

 That moment , it striked me that the parrot was all alone and stayed there like a statue , motionless.
Beyond it's beauty , I could sense that something not alright for that tiny creature. 
My colleague's venture to start a conversation on a fresh topic did not distract my attention , which caused her also to take a glance at the rare sight outside the glass window pane.She broke the silence and said , " Hey !A single parrot sitting standstill for a long time !!"

The canteen boy who had noticed this , came to our rescue , to answer to our puzzle.
" Yesterday , a parrot had fell down dead in the garden lawns . Once we spotted that , it was me who disposed it " , said the boy in a husky tone.

Perfect Match ?!

The reason behind the  worry of the aloof parrot became crystal clear.

The poor parrot had lost it's pair , due to which it was reeling under the agony of seperation.

"Oh !! What a pity !! "



Oh ! Where's my love ?



What else can be done from our side , except to feel a moment for the pathetic state of the bird . 

Afterall we live in a so called  busy world !!

Engrossed in the buzz of office activities , the parrot did not come to my mind at all .
Back home, relaxing in the sofa with a cup of tea , slowly the picture of the desperate parrot came alive on my mind screen.

A cluster of words rose up from within in that still, calm and relaxed moment ,

" Be the parrot or a dog or a human being , what difference does it really make , 
when it comes to the pain of seperation of a loving companion ? "

Started to realise the truth , 

" The soul inside seems to sport an identical behaviour though the body that covers it is of multiple variety !!"



Hey ! Our soul is the same as yours !!



Love & smiles..

A Special Day called as Birthday !!

Jai Gurudev !!

 

Happy Birthday to you ….

Happy Long Life to you !!

Once in a year ,without fail comes our birthday

To remind us that we are growing older day by day !!

As a kid , we love that special day of ours

As it also brings us gifts and chocolates that savours !





How do I look ..Gorgeous ?!



                                  

The dress we put on was so new !!

And the chocolates we distribute were not few !!

That's the day we'll be highly pampered

And from everywhere , the love will be showered !!

As years pass by ,

Slowly the birthdays get to give a feel of any other day !!

No more cakes...No more Chocolates..

Hardly any new dresses ...Rarely any gifts !!

Though the fact is so, each birthday                             

Innately makes us to feel in a special way !!

Some spark just 'd flash in our thought

That indeed we are one among the lot !!

Each one of us is not only a human

But ,a wave arising out of the ocean ...

And as the wave subsides back to the ocean

So do we - return back to our origin !! 

                        

 

   Oh ! I am only a wave out of an ocean

   How can I ever forget this fantastic notion !

   Oh ! My life is so short , 

   That I prefer to make it sweet !  

                           

    

 

Am I not a wonderful Flower ?

A Pretty and Fragrant Tower ?!

    

                                                                 

          

Does not the Birthday Celebration deep within

Bring a meaning to our existence therein !!

Will not our whole-hearted wish to our near and dear

serve a purpose - an opportunity that might help them know their real nature !!

A wave in the ocean or a Flower in the Garden ?

The one who opens up to wish others for a birthday

can be assured of joy that can be no less than double ,

on seeing the bloom in the face of the other person !! 

                                    

 

Love & smiles...
