Pain inflicted must be borne... this is the balance of nature...

No wound will remain open forever...one day it will heal...

When the sun, wind and rain speaks...

The Dark clouds seemed to have covered the Sun
The winds went wild having some fun.
The rains decided why we should be lonely
Each one of them enjoying so truly.

Hey what is it all about asked 
the Sun and what is this commotion?
It looked like everyone was having 
a meeting to have their right of motion.
The wind began look 
at these humans how selfish they are
Crying all the time this is my territory 
and you stay where you are.

You are right said the rain how silly aren't they
All are imposters and never mean what they say.
Mother Nature surrounds them with her arms wide open
They all seem to be blind though their eyes are open.

All the time exploring but never have time to watch us
How we wish we could tell them stop by and just observe us.
Power fame money is all that matters to them
Being selfless like us are the true Gems, how can they not know them.

Don't you agree my dear fellows how we stay unaffected
We give them everything they need but they still feel dejected.
Arise awake my dear children cries mother Earth
Enough of your selfishness, here is your second Birth.

Dear fellow beings listen to her 
when she is giving you a gentle warning
Before it's too late learn to live 
and find joy and peace in sharing.
Lets end our meeting now,
as we need to do our duty
When they observe and
follow believe me Life is a beauty.

The meeting came to a conclusion 
with all of them playing a pivotal role.
They decided to see each other 
soon if we needed their advice some more.
Now its up to us to follow their great advice Or
Are We guys ready to pay a heavy Price?

7 ways to achieve inner peace

Happiness, peace and prosperity are wished for by every lip on New Year, but do we really know what peace means? Peace lies within us and we know it too. As we move beyond a year and enter new year, lets all take a resolution to become aware of this peace inside and allow our smiles to reflect the true sign of the prosperity that lies inside us. Here are seven ways to do it.

1. Give divine a chance, be grateful

This year, let the devotion flower to its fullest and give it a chance to work. Our love, faith & belief should be deep rooted, and then everything else moves on its own. The feeling that “I am blessed” can help you overcome any failure. Once you realise that you are blessed, then all the complaints & grumbling disappear, all the insecurities disappear & you become grateful, contented and peaceful.

2. Take out time for yourself

Everyday you are engaged in only gathering information and you do not take out time for yourself to think and reflect. Then you feel dull & tired. A few quiet moments are sources for creativity. Silence heals and rejuvenates and gives you depth and stability. Some time during the day, sit for a few minutes, get into the cave of your heart, eyes closed, and kick the world away like a ball. Taking out some time for yourself improves the quality of your life.

3. Know life’s impermanence

See the impermanence in this life. Millions of years have passed & millions will come and pass. Nothing is permanent.What is your life? It is not even a drop in the ocean.

Just open your eyes & ask; who am I? How am I on this planet? What is my lifetime? Awareness dawns & you will stop worrying about little things. All smallness will simply drop & you will be able to live every moment of your life. If you review the context of your life, the quality of your life improves.

4. Do random acts of kindness

Make a commitment to make this world a better place to live. Do some acts of kindness without expecting anything in return. Service alone can bring contentment in life. It creates a sense of belongingness. When you bring some relief to someone through selfless service, good vibrations come to you. When you show kindness, your true nature which is love & peace comes to play.

5. Make your smile cheaper

Every day, every morning, look at the mirror and give a good smile to yourself. Dont let your smile be snatched away Usually, you give your anger freely and smile rarely as though a smile is costly. Make your smile cheaper and anger expensive! When you smile all the muscles in your face get relaxed. The nerves in your brain get relaxed and you become peaceful within. It gives you the confidence, courage & energy to move on in life.

6. Make meditation a part of life

When we have higher goals in life it leads to stress & restlessness which can only be released through a few minutes of meditation & introspection. Meditation gives you deep rest. Deeper you are able to rest, dynamic you will be in activity.

What is meditation?

- Mind without agitation is meditation.
- Mind in the present moment is meditation.
- Mind that has no hesitation, no anticipation is meditation.
- Mind that comes back home to the source which is peace & joy is meditation.

7. Be a Student always

Know that you are a student forever. Do not underestimate anybody. Knowledge may come to you from any corner. Each occasion teaches you & each person teaches you.

The world is your teacher. When you are always looking to learn, you will stop underestimating others.

Humility will dawn in your life.
