The Most Compassionate and the most Beautiful Lady of all times !!

Jai Gurudev !!

It was a non detailed lesson in my school days . I was so much fascinated by the experiences of Sindbad in his seven voyages . In one of his voyages , Sindbad and the co sailors would get attracted to a lovely island  and they would start to have a great fun time there . They would even start to cook there by litting off  the fire. The island then would start to shake and move . Very soon they would come to know that it was actually a Big Blue whale which had appeared like an island . The heat of the fire had woken up the huge creature. All the sailors on the whale would fall in the ocean. Only very few  survived. Sindbad somehow had a miraculous escape after a great struggle in the ocean. The story goes that way...

This Blue whale story still has a deep  impact in my mind and it just brings to my thought that we , all living creatures indeed live in the Earth , a Living body ofcourse. Just because the Earth is a living object , it is able to sustains us , living beings . Can a non living object support life ? Only a living object can give rise to another living object , as we are aware . 

And as humans , we exploit the Earth to it's maximum , causing her to provoke due to which the Earthquakes, Tsunami , Climatic changes , Global warming etc is starting to happen at an alarming rate  . It's time for us to wake up and join hands to minimise our devastating effects on her .

We are also the sailors of Life  like Sindbad , having a gala time at the Earth, who is of a loving and kind nature   ....

We do not know when will she become so furious that no longer can she sustain our exploitation  ?!  

One thing is for sure that , that time is not very far !!

The Secret to a Carefree Life !!

Jai Gurudev !!

As humans we are used to lead our live in a particular fashion , we expect the things to happen in one particular way and whenever the things turn topsy-turvy , our moods would go for a toss and we get emotionally upset eventually. This particular behavioural pattern , I started to notice sharply in my ownself of late . And was literally taken aback  by my own emotional change  .

To quote a few instances ... when even the milkman misses to drop in the milk packet for a day or the maid servant takes off without any prior notice or when the normal daily routine gets affected unexpectedly , immediately my mood would change and in turn I would start to feel uncomfortable . In other words , I could sense the disturbance in the peace of my mind .

Being aware of this , I just continued , having a close watch on my own self.

Just last week , a sudden plan to travel to my native place came in the way. No advance bookings and without any reservations , taken up the train journey and thoroughly enjoyed the above said behavioural pattern of mine with a sarcastic smile to myself .

That moment , a thought came like a flash . Why do we have to expect things to happen in the same monotonous way ? Why not we take up the things in the way  as it comes ? Just accepting the things as it happens minimises our worry to almost nill and relieves the mind from unwanted stress and tension.

And this , Lord Buddha has pronounced it rightly  as  " We are indeed like a falling leaf that is blown and is turning around through the air, wavering and tumbling to the ground.” 

How true his words are  !!

Just be like a falling leaf ...

Swaying to the tunes of the wind

This way or that way ...

Upside  or  down !!
What difference doe it make to a leaf !

A Free Flow indeed !!

If at all the leaf thinks ,

it has to move only in a particular direction ,

Will not the leaf undergo a heavy stress

resisting the change in direction against the wind's force ?

Is it not wise to be like a Leaf ..         

Taking the life in its own stride

and be free like a bird ?! 

Happily singing and flying !! 

Love & smiles...
