Understand Doubt...!

Doubt is always about something that is good. Someone tells you ‘I love you’, you ask them ‘Really?’, and they say ‘I hate you’, you never ask ‘Really?’ So, a doubt is always about something good. You doubt your abilities; you never doubt your weaknesses. You doubt happiness, you never doubt misery. Isn’t it? Nobody doubts their depression. ‘But well, I’m not sure if I’m happy or not, well I'm not sure'. So when you understand that the doubt is always about something that’s positive, your mind shifts to a level, a different level altogether.

~ Sri Sri Ravi Shankar ~

Ego Is Touchy..!

“Only the ego can be touched. It is very touchy. If somebody just looks at you in a certain way, it is touched. He has not done anything. If somebody smiles a little, it is touched; if somebody just turns his head and does not look at you, it is touched. It is very touchy. It is like a wound, always open, green. You touch it and the pain arises. A single word, a single gesture — the other may not even be aware of what he has done to you, but he has touched it.

And you always think the other is responsible, that he has wounded you. No, you carry your wound. With the ego your whole being is a wound. And you carry it around. Nobody is interested in hurting you, nobody is positively waiting to hurt you; everybody is engaged in safeguarding his own wound. Who has got the energy? But still it happens, because you are so ready to be wounded, so ready, just waiting on the brink for anything.

Words...!

Inside us lies a web of words, a true representative of our thoughts, loaded with unlimited emotions and feelings that are often spoken, unspoken, expressed, repressed. Words remain unsaid, sigh with burden. Unkind words act as knife and wound a heart with insensitive sharpness. Words use with upmost care and love sooth a heart and act as elixir...

Pride & Ego..!!

Pride is not ego. Ego is something without content. For example, a man who cannot even draw a straight line thinks himself a great painter – that is ego, there is no content. But if Picasso thinks he is a great painter, that is simply a fact, and if he is proud of his genius there is nothing wrong in it. In fact, people should be helped to find some pride in their individuality because that pride will make their eyes shine, their faces luminous; that pride will make them unique individuals, with no more question of inferiority and superiority.

The man of pride has a deep feeling of gratitude that existence has chosen him and it came from beyond, although he is not worthy. It is a strange phenomenon. The more worthy you are, the more you feel you are not worthy enough. You have been given so much and you cannot do anything in return. You are the blessed. But your blessedness will be full of gratitude. That is the distinction to be remembered between ego and pride.


Destroy the ego and create the pride. Ego is something like a cancer that simply eats you.Pride, self-respect is a creative phenomenon. It fulfills your own potential and it also shares with the world all the treasures that you have brought into the world.

Emotions Dissected..!

We all know 'Emotions' are a tricky aspect of being human. They are the language of the soul; subtle, elusive and cryptic. Often they defy the rationality of the mind and the logic of our society. While at times this can be scary and confusing we need to learn to embrace our emotions because they are the key to our happiness and understanding ourselves fully.

Dr Elisabeth Kubler-Ross defined 5 natural emotions as Grief, Anger, Envy, Fear and Love. In these 5 emotions , one emotion we can feel it as postive & rest are negative emotions. Infact no emotions are good/ bad or positive or negative.

When you scratch the surface to explore the full depth and purpose of these emotions, you might just come to see them a little more clearly for what they are - beautiful tools for cultivating one’s personal development. After all, it is the repression of these emotions that produces the negative consequences we often wrongly associate to them.When we explore this underworld of emotions we can see, we often supress these natural emotions and make it harmful for us. So it is important to understand these emotions and its bad effects to safegaurd our well being.

 'GRIEF' when we supressed becomes chronic 'DEPRESSION' , likewise 'ANGER' becomes 'RAGE', 'ENVY' becomes 'JEALOUSY', 'FEAR' becomes 'PANIC', 'LOVE' becomes 'POSSESSIVENESS'..

 Happy & Peaceful moments...!!

Look At Your Problems...!!

In our life what we cant get rid of is 'Problems'. It is like never ending waves in a sea..One problem solved and you can see another one poping up from no where..And the irony is that in this whole world none is free from prolems..

But I had noticed that many just create problems without their knowledge..because many of the problme which they see it as big problems are just ignorable..For them their problem is that they don't have any problems. They simply create them. Because they have got into the habit of creating them and they enjoy them. This is the serious problem, if one starts enjoying problems, it is very difficult to get out because they have much investment in them. Otherwise they can get out right that moment. Not for a single moment do they need to wait, because they are their created problems.

But some people just love to zoom any silly problems...They dont know how much weightage to give to each problems and which kind of problems.. Most problems are having built in solutions, but since they love to zoom it for an unproductive way they tend to see the right solutions at right time..another tragic situation..

But there are people who have real problems, there are people who have imaginary problems. Some problems are mere imaginations. There is nothing wrong in their being imagination. It plainly says they are imaginative person, a creative person. They not only write novels, they have created a novel around them. It is just a fiction all their problems are just fictitious, because they can see that their energy is absolutely pure, there is no problem at all. So in a way it is very simple to get out of them, in a way it is very difficult. If there is a problem, something can be done. But if there is no problem so naturally nothing can be done.

Isnt it a big truth & isn't it funny to be so..? So let me hope and wish that anyone who is so creative, plz do they engage themself in some creative work than creating some stressful problem..and those who love to zoom, let they zoom to the solution side to get rid of the problme as fast as they can..

Wish you a 'Problem Free' life...!!

Your Best Friend....?

Never search your happiness in others which will make you feel alone, rather search it in yourself, you will feel happy even if you left alone. Because one of the great truth is that your forever friend is 'YOU' only..

Desire..!!

The energy called desire has been condemned for centuries. Almost all the so called saints have been against it and preaching it as the very root cause of pain is having desires.BUt that is not true..

Infact desire is life, your very being is desire, to be against it is to be against yourself and against all. To be against it is to be against the flowers and the birds and the sun and the moon. To be against it is against all creativity. Desire is creativity. Desire without any object, desire without being goal-oriented, unmotivated desire, pure desire, is godliness. Desire is not to be destroyed; it is to be purified. Desire is not to be dropped; it is to be transformed.

The Eastern scriptures are perfectly right when they say that God created the world because a great desire arose in Him – a desire to create, to manifest, a desire to make many from one, to expand. But these are only metaphors. God is not separate from desire. Desire means a longing, a great longing, to expand, to become as huge as the sky. Infact 'Desire' give a 'Will' to dream thus give a will to live..

The Dance Of Life..!

There were two hearts who met in a dance.That moment was magical. There was a sweet song. Playing, there was harmony and soon love in the air.They fell in love and they started building castles in their dreams and promised forever with all certainty.

But, somewhere in the midst of the fun, they got lost in the dance something went wrong but they can never do anything. They were just drifting away, their fortress apart. There were so many questions but no one had an answer. The music stopped and there was silence....

When we truly love someone,we give our best and let the person see the pureness of our intentions. But sometimes that person makes us cry and hurt us for the wrong reasons.That someone must have loved us, but he has not loved us enough to make him stand for what he truly felt. Now we are faced with the seemingly impossible task of forgetting. We have burdened ourselves long enough but we still cant get out of this emotional trap. Let us remember that the more we try to forget someone we love, the more we try to forget someone we love, the more painful letting go will become. Sometimes we never had to take that person out of our hearts at all, for He will always be there no matter how hard we try to drive him away. It isnt his presence that makes it difficult. It is our stubborness to accept our destiny that aligns forgetting next to impossible. We keep a cold face but deep in our hearts there is still that lingering hope for reconciliation. Somehow we still believe that we can rekindle small embers and relight the fire that once burned in our hearts.These thoughts give us hope but it also breeds the seeds of loneliness and despair.


The only way to forget is to accept and the only way to move on is to look ahead and let the footprints of the past be blown by the wind of time. Only then can our hearts find a partner in the 'Dance Of Life' and hopefully never get lost again......

Imperfections..!

Very often we see that in life how hard we try or how much planning and preparation we do, something will not turn out the way we wanted it to be. Yet even when those inevitable disappointments do indeed come, you can adapt and make the very most of them.

Life is not perfect and yet it can be perfectly wonderful. It’s great to aim for perfection, and even better to achieve excellence in spite of the imperfections you encounter. When people and situations refuse to co-operate, you can be amazingly adaptable. You can move toward excellence even in the most distressing, imperfect scenarios.

Though what you have is not perfect, you can work with it. Accept what you have, imperfections and all, with gratitude and enthusiasm. Don’t spend your time waiting for the perfect situation, something which is not very likely to come at times.

Accept 'Imperfection' is part of your life and go ahead with life as it is, with the bumps and the pitfalls, and give your best to every moment to make it most perfect.

Have a 'Imperfectly Perfect' day..!!!

Say It Now....!

If you want to extend a helping hand, or say a kind word, Then you shouldn’t wait. It might get too late. If you have a kind word to say, say it now If you have something to give, give it now, If you can make someone glad do it now... or make some other less sad, do it now…

Happened to read an article which strengthen this thought once again..





The incidence goes this way..Agnihotri & Tara lived in Tanzania for few months as a part of project work. Tara got the opportunity to interact with few locals.In Tanzania many locals worked as maids in the Asian homes specially Indians and even learnt how to prepare Indian delicacies depending on who they stayed with. A Tanzanian can even make puran poli or idli sambhar perfectly.

Jamma, a frail-looking Tanzanian, worked with Agnihotri family. A very simple lady, she had a serene look on her face all the time. She lit up the place whenever she smiled. She did her work efficiently and never complained about anything. Often, Tara noticed that she wore the same outfit that hung loosely on her bony structure and several times, though Tara thought of giving her some of my kurtas which she could tailor into a skirt, but somehow that never happened.

The last time she saw Jamma was when she went out in the rain. She remembered looking at her and wondering what it was like to go out in the rain without a covering and worn-out footwear. A few days later, she learned that Jamma was sick and hospitalised. She thought of going across to see her, but somehow this visit didn’t materialise, or maybe he just didn’t make that extra effort to do so.

It was Tara's birthday a few days later and she was in a foul mood as she didn’t get the ‘Tanzanite ring’ that she expected from her husband. When Agnihotri came home for lunch, tara still expected him to bring out the box containing the ring. Instead, he said quietly, “Jamma expired today.” All she could say was, “What!” Till today, we don’t know the cause of her death… was it malnutrition, depression or a terrible disease? Did Jamma know she was sick and maybe even dying? These questions still rings in Tara ears and left with enough guilt.

That was the the time I realised all about the importance of time. She had been given a chance to share something with Jamma and lost it forever. I also realised that there is much more to life than being involved with our own little worlds. There are people all around us who have nothing in life and yet expect nothing.

Time never waits for anyone or anything...act quickly before it is too late to even repend..

Have You Ever...?

Have you ever wondered which hurts the most..saying something and wishing you had not or saying nothing and wishing you had..?

Have you ever denied your feelings for someone because..your fear of rejection was too hard to handle..?

Angel Disguised As Human..!

There comes a time in one's life, when a great and desperate need that someone appears out of the blue to perform an extraordinary act of kindness and then suddenly disapears as quickly as they came.When that day comes in our life we just wonder if we had met an Angel disguised as human....!!!

You Are Complete...!!

You are complete and whole..another person's love is a nice addition, but it is not necessary in order for you to live a fulfilling life. A beautiful, fulfilling and peaceful life can be built by simply shinning out with love and joy and sharing your gifts generously with others..

Love Hurts..!

Love hurts..when someone you love, leave you and walk away and when you watch the distance between your two bodies expand until there is nothing left but empty SPACE and SILENCE.. It hurts..when you love someone so much and then one day when you look into their eyes and realize that they are gone and all you can see in front of you is a person with just a KNOWN NAME...

Smiling Tears...!

No smile is more beautiful than the one that struggles through tears..There is a sacredness in TEARS. They are not the sign of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief and unspeakable love..Things have different qualities, and the SOUL different inclinations; for nothing is simple which is presented to the soul, and the soul never presents itself simply to any object. Hence it comes that we WEEP & LAUGH at the same thing..

Why.. Good Bye ?

People come into our lives..

And walk with us a mile...

Then because of circumstance..

They only stay a while...

They serve a need within the days..

That move so quickly by...

Then are gone beyond our reach..

We often wonder why...

God only knows the reason..

That we meet and share a smile...

Why people come into our lives..

And walk with us a mile...?

What would you do..?

What would you do if every time you fell in love with someone you had to say good-bye?...What would you do if every time you wanted someone they would never be there?...What would you do if for every moment you were truly happy there would be ten moments of sadness?...What would you do if you loved someone more than anything else and you could never have them?...

A Real Friend..!

When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most to us, we often find that it is those who share our pain and touch our wounds with a gentle and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, I think that is a friend that cares.
