Goli Maar Bheje mien, Bheja Shor karta hain!!



We have heard many times that whatever is in your mind gets manifested in your life. Be it thoughts, feelings or emotions. 
So, You are told to think positive. But its vicious spiral as we are under gravitation force.
Let me tell you a short story here. One day a disciple came to the master and told him I want to learn new things. He went on to say I have learned this, I know this, I know that too. Pls teach me new things.
Master said okay but first let's have some tea. Master takes a pot and starts pouring tea in to the cup, the cup overflows but he still keeps pouring. Disciple immediately asks him to stop saying the cup is full master.
Master says "exactly, your cup is full too, I can't teach you. You have to empty the cup to learn anything new".
You can't think positive till your mind has a space. It is filled with past experiences, observations, emotions.
Till you silence your mind I.e. empty your cup, nothing positive is going to go inside it.
The first step is to let go of the noise in your head. Take a pause, don't do anything, just breath. 
God has given all the buttons record, play, rewind, forward, pause.
We use record and play the most. The play button is always ON, not knowing what is playing.
Use the pause button, silence your mind.
Let go of the chaos, fight, struggle, just be for sometime. Let the mind settle.
Time for one more story.
Buddha had a hyper active disciple and he wanted to teach him to silence his mind. He send him to take water from the sea while the water was flowing. Disciple saw water has lot of mud in it. He came back to master and said the water has mud in it. After sometime, Buddha send him again. The flow of water had stop, mud had settled down. Disciple came back with pure water for the master and learned to let the mud settle to get pure water.
God has given us life to understand this very thing of letting the dust settle and then only you can discover your purest form.
Beauty of silence is that it brings clarity to your life.
We had a saying in school silent waters run deep. I could only realize the same after I grew up.
There is a thing to notice all famous personalities are silent in some way shape or form.
Anyone seen hyper active sachin tendulkar or rahul dravid?
They became what they are because of the balance they had in their style. People talk about passion, I talk about balance.
Passion is short lived, balance has longevity.
Harshad mehta had passion, warren buffet had balance.
Output of silence is clarity. Output of clarity is balance.

God Loves Innocence not intelligence



I remember an incident from my school. During a biology period, we had to view a slide in the microscope. When my turn came to see the slide, the slide was moved already by some one however nobody told the teacher.
I saw that slide was moved and out of sheer innocence, I told the teacher. She blasted me and slapped me. Everyone knew who had moved the slide, but nobody told the teacher. I was too innocent to even know who did it.
I cried that day! Yes, I did. So why am I writing this now.
The reason being I was neither famous nor very intelligent but whoever was around me or with me loved me.
I was not smart, intelligent, funny, fighter, strong. I was not even good at sports.
The reason they liked me was because I was innocent. In spite of that slap from the teacher, my friends loved me. They loved the innocence in me.
I have been observing through my life that god loves innocence. God does not love intelligence, God loves purity.
Ever seen very rich people, they are not very intelligent. They are innocent. They became rich when they were innocent.
Innocence is important. Innocence has no rules or boundaries and has no definition too.
Innocence is feeling that you carry with yourself. Innocence does not mean you do not know anything. Innocence means you don't mince with your words. You mean what you say.
Its a sad reality that over time, one tends to loose innocence.
Be innocent and God will love you!!

The spoon

I just told my son to eat with hands instead of the spoon because it has Paraná. He asked me what is Paraná?
I was silent. He told me oh, I get it, the spoon can't move on its own. U have to move it with your hand. So hand has Paraná and not spoon.
Then he ate with the spoon but now we both know the answer ;)

The relative truth

When you go introvert, you realize truth is relative.
A labourer has to eat things that will give him energy to do physical work.
A office goer needs to eat things that will give him energy to use brain.
A businessman needs food for his mind.
A child needs food for energy to play.
A women needs food for her creativity.
A aged person needs food that can be digested easily.
Yeah, there is a difference between brain and mind.
Brain can do repetitive work. Mind needs creativity.
The point is truth for everyone is relative.
Above is the key to great relationships.
You will start living in acceptance mode.
when you realize the above absolute truth that truth is relative ;).
