JOURNEY OF HEARTS.....

Sometimes, the greatest journey is the distance between two hearts……a very true saying indeed. Two hearts often take a lot of time to come close to each other. Little do they realize that they are beating for the same cause, living for the same purpose, and striving to convey the same message. How strange it is that in spite of possessing the same emotions and desires, they seem to be far apart from each other, behaving as strangers. Why can’t they read each other’s feelings and sense each other’s beats? By the time they do realize, that is if they do realize at all, they have covered a long distance, so long enough that they end up as strangers. Even a full lifetime seems to be short for these two hearts to come close to each other. Their distance appears to be a mile away from each other; maybe they do not meet because they run parallel to one another. Strange indeed that they spend their entire lifespan striving to reach their goal, and in the end some realize that they had the same destination, wishing that they were together…..togetherness makes life more pleasant and beautiful…………..

SACRIFICE..

Life is a gift from God… a divine gift worth cherishing and living. Humanity has over the years relished this beautiful gift and generations have been flourishing in bountiful, harvesting the fruit of life. With this gift, God has given a test to all His creatures…. A test to test the virtue of SACRIFICE…

Sacrifice, a rare unique potential, which can clearly demarcate and bring out the A grade holders in the test of life. Every human being has been endowed with the right to living, live life to the fullest, and as per one’s desires. But blessed are those who lead a life not for them, but for others. It is easy to be selfish, and to cater to just one’s need, but difficult to sacrifice for others. We often become so engrossed in our own self, trying to meet our small and big demands, that we do not realize how many hearts we have hurt and how many feelings crushed under the burden of our demands. Everyone lives for oneself, but actual humanity lies in living for others. History clearly proves that great personalities have been so not only for their qualities, but also for their sacrifice of the self for the cause of others. Love is that ocean, where sacrifice helps to survive. Sacrificing your desires, wants and interests for others is the best gift to mankind and God. It is difficult to do, but once done it brings with it eternal peace, happiness and prosperity. And if every living heart started sacrificing the world would be no less that PARADISE.

Oh my heart!

Oh my heart!
Who let you out?
I’d warned you not to wonder and wander about….
Barely had your cries died out,
Your wound so deep and profound,
Taking all the time to heal out
And here you are with another bout
Of sorrowful sprout.

Who will come to your rescue
To free you from the bonds of blue
Strangled all about you.
Why do you my dear get entangled?
Every now and then land up bedraggled,
Seeking solace, and mercy
Promising to never repeat

Alas! Your time is up
With enough of butt
Pick up your scattered pieces
And get back to work
Hale and hearty you should be
Circulating happiness wherever you be
Sacrifice your feelings
To sustain livings.
I know you are sad and blue
But still true …

WISHES FROM THE HEART..

If wishes were horses, beggars might ride…..It’s a very true saying. Wishes are like surprise guests, who can knock at your door at any time and anywhere, without waiting for a welcome. They just sit tight in the mind, directing the heart to hope and hope and hope for fulfillment. The obstacles of compulsion are at times too huge and high, and crush them under their feet. Can one really get what one wishes? No, not at all, or else there wouldn’t have been a single sad soul around, and the earth would have been devoid of all sorrow. Compulsions of all kinds block the wishes from getting fulfilled, leaving the heart weeping, and weeping. The mind comes to its rescue with all consolations, trying to pacify the broken heart. Sometimes, it takes more than one mind to heal the wound, and stop the bleeding, and recovery is finally attained. But the heart is after all a bag of emotions and sentiments, and soon gets engulfed in another web of desires and wishes. The episode is repeated…… memories come and go, sentiments keep flowing and life continues to exist. Over the years, the heart has been going through all these with the mind backing it up after every fall, but if the mind collapses, and fails to comfort the heart….. who can save it from dying??????

MEMORIES...

Memories…. Makes one feel nostalgic. Remembering sweet moments of happiness, fun, joy, when one stops to take a drive down the memory lane, with all reminiscences….it does bring in a spring of pleasure and a smile on the face. So powerful are these memories that they can help to sustain a life, pull the heaviest of all hearts and drag out the sorrowful from its den. But then all memories are not sweet, there are some who can pour out the tears from dried out eyes, and pull the soul back to its den. The human heart is not yet so powerful to filter these memories, and just have the sweet ones for life. Mixed are these chapters in life, sometimes black and white and sometimes colorful. So is the human heart, which beats happily at the happy ones, and cries out at the painful one. Life is a mixture of sorrow, and happiness, sometimes the percentage of sorrow exceeds the happiness. Wise is the mind, which directs the heart to relish the sweet memories and thrive on them. Sad memories can only bring back added sadness, and take away the smile. Let us spread sweetness, to each other and stock the happy moments in our life, leaving no space for the sad ones…

BEAUTY..........

A thing of beauty is a joy forever.... this is a famous saying by Keats. True, a beautiful thing does give a pleasant feeling, a soothing effect to the eyes, and brings out the appreciation instantly. But then beauty doesn't lie in the object, it lies in the eyes of the BEHOLDER. There is nothing called beauty or nothing called ugly in this world, these are all abstract thoughts generated in the human mind. The rose is considered to be a beautiful flower but at the same time its thorns are taken to be dangerous and ugly. But do we realize that its these thorns which provide protection to it, and help to preserve the beauty of this flower. Cactus in this regard can be described as the ugliest of all, but plant lovers have elevated it to the status of a decorative ornamental plant. Thus, its the sight and vision which determines the status of beauty. Nature has given beauty to all its creatures, it is now on the onlookers to search for it in the surroundings. There is something beautiful in all objects and organisms all around us, it depends on us as to how we perceive it.

ENVIRONMENT

Environment is like our mother. Once destroyed, we can’t get another. Nature has been subjected exploitation of varying degrees at every level in multiple ways. It is the vast motherly open and warm heart of Mother Nature, which enables her to digest and tolerate every act of the human hand. Man’s unending desires, lust for comfort and greed for materials and luxury has compelled him to break the barriers of motherly protection to engulf the human race into its vast sea of peril.

AMBITION

Ambition is either a master or a servant; the trick is to know which it is in your life. Every human mind dreams, and visualizes the extraordinary and then strives to achieve this target. It is truly said that an aimless life is like a rudderless ship without any direction. Aims and goals enable the individual to design his dreams and fulfill his visions. However, this driving force can become an evil master of the mind if not restricted within limits. The fangs of ambition if allowed to spread venomously can engulf peace and tranquility and induce stress and strain in the human mind leading to imbalance. Therefore, let the mind be the strong captain of the ship and steer it slowly, carefully and tactfully towards the harbor of success without dashing against the boulders of stress and obsession. Be possessive about your dreams but do not become obsessive about them.

EDUCATION

Education is the manifestation of qualities already present in an individual. Quality education doesn’t lie embedded in books and manuscripts, but reflects in the attitude and personality of the individual. Value education goes on to teach beyond text books, and lays the foundation of goodness, purity of heart, truthfulness of soul, INTEGRITY,sincerity, honesty, humanity, and above all a good moral character. An educated person shines out like a twinkling star on a dark gloomy night; like a lonesome yacht on a rough sea. His/her knowledge reflects in his/her conduct and his/her personality is the mirror of his/her wisdom. Education is that gleam of light that can glow your whole life, provided perceived genuinely.

Knowledge and Wisdom define education only when it reflects in the behavior and personality and not merely in the degrees accumulated.  

HAPPINESS

Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without pouring a few drops on yourself. Truly, happiness is a state of heart, mind, and soul, which is free from the evil stringent vices of hatred, envy, anxiety, criticism and ill feelings. It is an asset rarely owned and seldom shared. He who seeks this divine solace in the arms of money and material can never reap this harvest. It is only the simple, honest, hardworking, dutiful, sincere and truthful soul who can actually enjoy the benefits of this priceless asset. To spread the radiance of happiness, one has to first shine with the light of happiness. If every heart in this world laughs heartily, then the perfume of happiness will diffuse miraculously making the world a happy, comfortable home for all.

FRIENDSHIP...

A deep friendship is like a rainbow, when the perfect amounts of happiness and tears are mixed, the result is a colorful bridge between two hearts. Truly, friendship, i.e. true friendship is that blossom in the garden of relationships, which spreads by its fragrance. A relation between two hearts, two souls, two minds, developed irrespective of caste, creed, race, sex, age, wealth or anything. It can be described as a beautiful rose, whose petals may wither, but the sweet smell will remain forever. It is a relation, which does not demand anything, rather it only gives, and gives. It believes in sacrifice, honesty, dedication, and commitment. Be it the good time or the bad one, a true friend stays thick and thin throughout. This relationship is based on faith, belief, and understanding, where the two individuals vow to believe in each other irrespective of the situation. Otherwise, its just akin a china cup, which once broken can be repaired, but the crack will always be there.

DREAMS AND DEDICATION..

Dreams and dedication are a wonderful combination. Truly, dreams are the visions emanating from the deep roots of the human mind, speaking out the untold desires and hidden ambitions of the individual. Dreams help to set a goal, and provide challenges. It’s good to dream, so as to set a target in life, but it needs to be accompanied by true dedication and commitment to fulfill it. Hard works, honesty, sincerity, discipline, regularity, punctuality, are some of the integral ingredients required to provide integrity to the mission of achieving the vision. Dreams provide the vision, the complete picture to be drawn or painted while mission enables to decide the course of right and dedicated action to reach the final level of completion. Together, they can lead to never ending success enveloped in a world of eternal prosperity and happiness.

LOVE...

Love makes your soul crawl out of its hiding place. The four-letter word LOVE, the essence of life, is a divine gift. It is a vast ocean, which can devour all evils. Love is a light, which illuminates the darkest wilderness. It can generate emotions in a barren heart, and can mould the toughest one. It can do wonderful things beyond contemplation. Love brings with it peace, happiness, prosperity, well-being, goodness and generosity. It makes the soul happy and peaceful. It inbreeds truth and sacrifice, and the desire to give. Love doesn’t demand, rather it only offers. It makes one bold and strong and provides the courage to fight and face the challenges of life. Love doesn’t require any condition to flourish. It can exist between two hearts and two souls irrespective of any discrimination. However, it is based on truth and faith. Faith in each other is that adhesive force which strongly binds the lovely relation. Betrayal is that vice which kills it. Love is a gift of God to humanity, let it spread and make the world a paradise.

THE WANDERING MIND WONDERS......

The human mind supposed to be one of the most wonderful creation of God, is indeed unique by itself. It wanders and wonders, both at the same time, simultaneously carrying out both the actions. It is luckier than the avian creature, as it has no limitation to wander. It has the freedom to travel anywhere, without getting stopped for tresspassing, without getting fined for croosing limits, without getting caught for crossing boundaries. Be it the heart of another individual, or the mind of another, it can invade all territories, and sit wherever it desires. It has the right to dream, dream and dream and visualize all virtual images, and thoughts, beyond contemplation. At the same time it wonders about the happenings around it, wonders about the human nature, its course of action and the sentiments attached with its counterpart, the heart. Wandering all around and wondering about everything, it returns tired and exhausted, seeking solace in the caressing comfort of its partner, the heart. It is the heart which consoles it, relaxes it, and freshens it, thus boosting it for its next journey. Together, they share a beautiful relation helping and comforting each other in their hour of mind. However, they are often misunderstood and thought to be arch rivals......
The heart and mind are perfect partners, balancing each other, while one takes care of sentiments and emotions, the other implements actions practically. They are an example for all partners in life to balance with each other and share joys and sorrows together. Come what may, vow to be with one another, through thick and thin in all walks of life....

RELATIONSHIPS

Relationships, the word itself is complicated, and symbolizes the complexity of the human heart... When God created His masterpiece in the form of Human beings, little did He realize that he was weaving a spider's web, so intricating and fabricating, that the world suddenly reached a level of a webbed designer WEB. Human hearts trapped in this web are just like the anxious fly, searching its way out. Not a single relation in this world is true, selfish interests are the pillars of these relations. Ironically, some relations exist, nameless, with no pillars and support, but firm and strong, yet which have no explanation. Relations which are beyond the level of understanding, and so delicate, always on the verge of creating misunderstandings and miscommunications. Even the hearts involved in these relations fail to analyse the profound feelings and sentiments binding the hearts, together in a woven colourful fabric, invisible to the selfish world. The beauty of these relations lies in their simplicity and truthfulness, unspoken words, warm gestures, understood feelings.... Unique are these relationships bestowed to those lucky hearts who are pure and true. Anyone possessing such a relation must consider it as an asset, a gift from the Angels straight from Heaven. Make efforts to prize the possession..... dont get miscarried by the vested interests of the selfish world, which will always be after to cause destruction. A toast to all such hearts... with a wish to keep the relation alive...

DREAMS..

Dreams and dedication are a powerful combination.....

Together they can lead a person to a wonderful world of success, and prosperity..

SRISHTI.. CREATION OF LIFE..

Life is a beautiful gift from God..... a marvellous creation adorned with the beauty of nature enveloped with the warmth of love and affection. Live it to the fullest, for if once gone, can never be regained...

Love is that light which keeps the flame of life burning alive in our hearts....

Let it spread and illuminate even the darkest hearts... and enlighten this beautiful world..
