Did you forget the other garden?

By
A point made by Shivani hit me and I am sure it may hit you too.
So heres the shootout.
There are two gardens. One on left of your house and other one on right of your house. You expect both gardens to be be green. But you only nourish one and ignore other. What is the natural consequence of your ignorance?
The one ignored will be dry patch of land.
Similarly, you have aspiration for comfort in your life and as well as being happy.
These are two different things. Two different gardens in vicinity of your house.
You strive for comfort. You target comfort. You achieve comfort.
You lose sleep. You lose freedom. You lose interaction. You lose a relaxed stomach. You miss the smile on your baby's face.
You gain washing machine, refrigerator, vacuum cleaner, a car, an apartment, a choice to travel by aeroplane. Its a different thing that you still desire to have everything for free. You have moved from sitting in front of Hercules cycle front seat.
You have moved in life. You have moved in jobs. You have moved in marriages. You have been moving a lot these days.
But where are you going?
Are you guilty of being materialistic? Is it wrong to acquire? Is it proper penance? The answer my friend is No, its not wrong to gain comfort and be in cosy sofa. Its alright. Its okay. Its simply not the path to happiness.
What is the quest?
Are you seeking happiness?
Did you confuse it with comfort? Did you nourish it believing it to be happiness?
Are you close to deathbed now?
Is it too late now?
Can you nourish the other garden NOW?
Happiness is not a destination. Its a not a continuous struggle, continuous restlessness. Its within you, always, ever present.
My friends, spirituality is that garden which will showcase and allow you to reflect your true self. A peaceful,loving,happy soul that you have always been and will be. Nourish this garden well.
You can be in utter bliss and you just have to be with yourself.
Touch within and become pristine, pure.

Success is exchange of energy

By
The definition of success is very elusive. It means different things in different phases of life to different people. When I was in school and college it was to pass somehow. When I was in 12th it was to get into engineering somehow. When I was in job it was to make more money anyhow. When you were in marriage it was to demand happiness and feel proud in pronouncing to yourself that every act of a frustrating job was for the sake of family and their well being. I was focusing on doing. I was focusing on achievement. So whenever I reflected back in life I always felt less. I could have been an IITian, I could not crack CAT. I could not join an organization during their early stock offer days. I could not go to US and earn in dollars. I simply missed doing too many things.  Now I feel lack of achievement. Now I feel lack of doing. Did I miss out on something while I was undergoing all this doing? Why was I nervous all this while? Why did one achievement led to other? Why...

Shivani, Brahmakumaries and Aastha channel

By
She comes twice on TV from 7:10 PM to 7:40 PM and 10:30 to 11:00 PM on Aastha channel. The spiritual channel story in India is on same lines as that of Aaj Tak , which was run by local ads before the big boys put ads on them. Today Shivani, a Brahmakumari mentioned that 99% of the cause of anger and frustration is elsewhere, it is not in the spur of the moment, when you hurt somebody or get hurt by somebody. Instead of reacting instantaneously , or pestering the reaction in the mind post the incident till eternity , can you wonder "Why is that soul so angry, what is bothering her? I am sure there is something more than what she has told me now?". The chain of thoughts that emerge lead you to compassion, releases love vibrations into the air. Love has a very subtle medium to reach out. You cannot yell and throw around love and claim that you are helping somebody by your love. You have to surrender to love and let love take over. You cannot correct the world. You can onl...

fix for tweetmeme button on blogger

By
This was the second time when I was pained to locate a proper place to place the tweetmeme buton in blogger. The tutorial has suggested keeping it between b:loop values = 'data:posts' var = 'post'> and ‘b:loop’. Also there are two such places where you can place the code. If you place in lower one then it will appear only if ads appear in your blog. The above has not worked for me and I am not sure about you, do you Meme?. I searched for a place near the spans at end of post and put it above the below line " <p class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> And it seems to work. You can meme below and retweet and check for yourself. Have you been struggling with button placement in blogger?
