Three things in Life ...

Guiding Souls ...

Guiding souls… is another book by our Prez Dr Kalam with Arun Tiwari. I am in the process of reading this book; but being tempted by the inner thougths that were lying, I could not resist myself without posting a blog. So here it goes ...

In these few pages I have read, I came to know lots of things about lots of things. Let me put some highlights on those ...

Kalam’s philosophy of life is seen in each and every line of the book.

“You are neither earth,water,fire, air and not even ether. Know yourself as consisting consciousness, the witness of these 5?.-Says Astavakra Gita.

“Thoughts do not come from outside..neither the feelings nor images. They come from the soul and go back to the soul-always within the soul”.

On Knowledge he says - "Knowledge is the very fabric of experience".

To answer the question “What is truth?”, Kalam says “Truth is the discipline of the ascetic,the quest of the mystic,the faith of the simple,the ransom of the weak,the standard of the righteous,the doctrine of the meek,the challenge of the mature”.

Talking about globalisation, he says -"The universal power never judges nor criticises. It only accepts us at our own value".

About general human thought process, Dr Kalam says-"What do you think? Are not all your thoughts subjective? Examine your thoughts closely and you will see that they are either desires or fears. Then, there is a polarisation of me and not me. what else?"

I think this book is a must read for someone interested in learning and has a yearning for knowledge ...

Blogs & Blogging ...

Being in the process of Blogging, sometimes I was asking myself "Why this ?", "What does it show of me?",etc. etc. Mention not, there were others who posed the same question to me. And, that time, I had to answer something or the other. Was thinking long, to give that a better shape. Now, it got realised.

For them and for my sometime W' mind (Asks Why and What?), I am glad to give the link here

It's about how you look ...

Being happy does not mean everything is perfect ...

It just means you have decided to see everything beyond imperfections ...

... So Be Happy Always ...

• Don't judge people by their relatives.
• Talk slowly but think quickly.
• When someone asks you a question you don't want to answer, smile and ask, "Why do you want to know?"

A Rose Can Say ...

A rose can say I love you
And want you to be mine,
A rose can say I thank you
For being so very kind,

A rose can say congratulations,
Whatever the occasion may be,
A rose can say I miss you
And wish you were here with me,

A rose can say I'm sorry
If I've hurt you in any way,
A rose can say get well soon,
May God bless you today?

A rose can say I wish you happiness,
And the best for you each day.
A rose can say farewell
When someone goes away,

A rose can say hello,
I'm thinking of you today,
There are just so many wonderful things
That a rose can say,

A rose can say goodbye
When a love one is laid to rest,
No matter what there is to say,
A rose can say it best...

Start of something new ...

Living in my own world
Didn't understand
That anything can happen
When you take a chance
I never believed in
What I couldn't see
I never opened my heart
To all the possibilities
I know that something has changed
Never felt this way
And right here now .......

This could be the start
Of something new .............

I never knew that it could happen
Till it happened to me
I didn't know it before
But now it's easy to see

It's the start
Of something new ............ !!!
