Awakening

"When love awakens in your life, in the night of your heart, it is like the dawn breaking within you. Where before there was anonymity, now there is intimacy; where before there was fear, now there is courage; where before in your life there was awkwardness, now there is a rhythm of grace and gracefulness; where before you used to be jagged, now you are elegant and in rhythm with your self. When love awakens in your life, it is like a rebirth, a new beginning."

"Love allows understanding to dawn, and understanding is precious. Where you are understood, you are at home. Understanding nourishes belonging. When you really feel understood, you feel free to release yourself into the trust and shelter of the other person's soul."

"One of the tasks of true friendship is to listen compassionately and creatively to the hidden silences. Often secrets are not revealed in words, they lie concealed in the silence between the words or in the depth of what is unsayable between two people."

"The heart is the inner face of your life. The human journey strives to make this inner face beautiful. It is here that love gathers within you. Love is absolutely vital for a human life. For love alone can awaken what is divine within you. In love, you grow and come home to your self. When you learn to love and let yourself be loved, you come home to the hearth of your own spirit. You are warm and sheltered."

"All the possibilities of your human destiny are asleep in your soul. You are here to realize and honor these possibilities. When love comes in to your life, unrecognized dimensions of your destiny awaken and blossom and grow. Possibility is the secret heart of time."

"The ego is the false self-born out of fear and defensiveness."

"Behind your image, below your words, above your thoughts, the silence of another world waits."

"The eternal world and the mortal world are not parallel, rather they are fused."

"The Celtic mind was not burdened by dualism. It did not separate what belongs together"



"One of the most beautiful gifts in the world is the gift of encouragement. When someone encourages you, that person helps you over a threshold you might otherwise never have crossed on your own."

John O'Donohue, Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom

Time

"Most people think time is like a river that flows swift and sure in one direction. I can tell you they are wrong. Time is an ocean in a storm." - Prince of Persia: Sands of Time

How time has passed by. We never stop to realize it. Until something happens which changes the graph of your pace of life downwards and it seems like your in a whirlpool of your own stream of life and everything is at a standstill or in slow motion around you.

Its like you went back into time and see yourself and everybody who were with you at a certain point of time back to how you and they were before. Thoughts go at the speed of light in your head, some things you wish were different, some things you feel you would still like to have and some things you feel like forgetting. Something as trivial as the way you used to dress feels stupid to you. People you used to love seeing you as you were. Our mind objects that we could have done something different to take their attention or that things shouldn't have gone the way they are now.

But in the end, it doesn't matter. You were what you were, you are what you are. What you had done or been back then is the reason you are here now as you are.

Its said correctly that time doesn't wait for anybody. It just passes by. Its the nature of time, it's essence. And we are foolish if we think otherwise. And we have all been foolish at one or the other time. Its Human. Like the way I'm feeling now.

Sentiments, feelings, wishes, yearnings, all different words of the same nature.

Fires

Fires run through my body --
the pain of loving you.
Pain runs through my body with the fires of my love for you.
Sickness wanders my body with my love for you.
Pain like a boil about to burst with my love for you.
Consumed by fire with my love for you.
I remember what you said to me.
I am thinking of your love for me.
I am torn by your love for me.
Pain and more pain.
Where are you going with my love?
I'm told you will go from here.
I am told you will leave me here.
My body is numb with grief.
Remember what I've said, my love.
Goodbye, my love, goodbye.

-anonymous Kwakiutl Indian poem

Heard this in a video suggested by a friend in which Helen Fisher talks about her scientific ideas on love based on brain reactions. - Harshad

What About..?

What about the person you Love?

What about the person who loves you?

Can they be same? Is a question stuck in whirlpool?

What about word compromise?

And what about word sacrifice?

Do they have same meaning? It’s always hard to decide.

What about what we do for others?

And What about what we get from them?

Well this see-saw balance is never neutral in Life game.

What about you ? 

And What about me ?

The only common thing is we both can read .

When is the End...

When is the end for times I Spend…
Evenings in pain and mornings so vain..

When is the end for sitting alone in nights
Listening songs and crying inside ..

When is the end ,I ask myself now
Changing my nature and trying to fight it somehow..

When is the end , where I try to express myself
Have a conversation and then not think that all are deaf..

When is the end , where iam living at this pace
Running alone and all alone in this race..

When is the end, to be like this and
How can I change to be merry again..
Iam trying to get answers..and having no luck..
And still with all this I know ..I cant give up..

Baawara Mann (The Bewitched Mind)

The bewitched mind is on its way to dream
The bewitched mind has bewitched thoughts

It beats crazily and takes crazy breaths
Why does sleep run away from the crazy twisting and turning

The bewitched eyes long to watch bewitching sights through the bewitching jharokas
The bewitched mind is on its way to dream
In this crazy world, I wish I had some bewitching company

With this scheming crowd around, I wish your hands were in mine
Wish there was a bewitching melody and a bewitching composition

My bewitched feet desire to dance to the bewitching tunes of bewitching songs
The bewitched mind is on its way to dream
I wish the darkness was bewitching and so was the silence

I wish quivering lips go easy, the intoxication is bewitching
One bewitched veil, slowly tells us of the break of dawn with a bewitched face
The bewitched mind is on its way to dream...

- Translated lyrics of the song "Baawara Mann" from one of my favourite movie "Hazaaron Khwaahishen Aisi"

The Beauty Of A Woman

The beauty of a woman Is not in the clothes she wears,
The figure that she carries, Or the way she combs her hair.

The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes,
Because that is the doorway to her heart,
the place where love resides.

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole,
But true beauty in a woman Is reflected in her soul.

It is the caring that she lovingly gives,
The passion that she shows,
And the beauty of a woman
With passing years
only grows.

- Educato-Humorist Sam Levinson

"Evil Within"

Deep down inside,
Lies within us all...
A small child who cries,
And asks for help through his calls.

Deep inside there only,
Lies an Evil man who crawls,
Kills the child every time
With no mercy at all.

Feelings to help others and
Understand rise again and again..
But this world has made us change and
We only think of gain….

Evil is within and no where else to be found
Conquering your own evils would be the most sound action around.

Where and What - Can this be changed?

Where we stand,
Is always an edge of a cliff.

What we see,
Is the whole world beneath it .

What we desire,
Is the ability to fly across and touch nothing.

What we get,
Is a hard push, and journey to be lead with suffering.

Where should we go?
When mind turns back on us

Where should we go?
When life leaves no options for us

Where should we go?
When time stops its healing.

Where should we go ?
When we can’t listen our own saying.

Lost somewhere, in words above..........
Figuring how I could end the dialogue discovered.........
Choosing again a reason to go on.........
Without knowing if it would mean some thing right or wrong...........

Simple words

Three Little words, I LUV U
Simplest and still hard to fully understand.
They are powerful, but its has taken me far
for their meaning to comprehend.

Enjoying every little moment, when i feel I am wanted
And trying to believe in whats true.
Growing up as an adult, is driving me crazy,
to walk on roads which are new.

I have few friends, who live in my heart,
Time and distance always keeps us apart.
Constantly I feel the need to be with them,
Just that I know in real life, good friend arms are not always there and then.

Not Yet Known!

How can it happen, that words don't help a lot
Even in rains, life experiences drought!
Something has changed or is new to be found
I still am wondering for it around!
How can it happen, that with people around
Feeling of loneliness stills bothers me and is profound.
Even if I'm in a new phase of life,
practical as i can be is not helping me to strife.
Wish i could just let go myself ,
turn my heart into a stony shelf,
to have no feelings and yet believe that i exist.
Would this help to consider that i do live?....

Does Expectation Provide Anything?

Lets discuss on the topic,
Expecting i would myself resolve the matter.
Hate to admit that expectations lead
towards my dream house to shatter.
Yes, I and others too... fall and get trapped in this web,
Expecting from people they love and hate .......

What happens is for time being , some fulfill their 's and some
fall in dismay because of others.
Irony is still whole world is connected through it,
We knowingly or unknowingly do expect something or other from each other.......
Lets see relationships, expecting is the tie between the two ,
Still to prolong the time lap for relationship , i suggest less expectations
would definitely delay the discussions we do not agree on,
and separations we never thought of.
I myself have not and neither can all of us
fulfill what all has been expected from us.

Still I'm trying to come out of the web , explaining myself
for should i or should i not expect from others......
the sooner i find an answer .......
sooner i would be saving my dream house to shatter.

Care for Love

I won’t give up And won’t give in
Even when all four walls keep caving in
I'll be strong for me and care for you
As I know how it feels I’m like you too.......
Be always Proud, for not being scared
And always remember there was someone who care.....

"we live in such a cruel world that people often forget
that they are loved, this is for anybody who can relate to it"

Blankness Around.

Lost the Meaning of life,
Broken forever, start to end,
inside and out, will never mend.

Entangled in this mess of hurt and
the stress. Strain on my veins, tears are blood.
Saturation has come up, can't take no more,
oh..... the lovely world is there a cure?

I look at the sky ,blank and dark as night,
can't see or feel no more, i continue to cry.

Someone out there, save me from this place
take my memories, i need them erased.
wipe the red tears from my depressed face,
as i am afraid i might disappear without a trace.

Being cared by all

For me life has been as happening as can be.
i have been cared for more than what i can see.
i don't know whether i am worthy of it or not.
i don't know whether i can give it back or not.

Still in the midst of life......
i feel i have reached it all.
To say a word for the ones who are my pal.
u have been always close and near .
u are like charms with gold smeared .
i always and always would be grateful to u.
and love is only i cud ever return for true.

Finale!

Saying bye is never an easy thing to say
but, it was inevitable that i would come to this day.

it's the hardest thing i have to do
and , it's killing me to let go of you.

From the beginning, i knew there was no chance
for this one-sided romance
my mind tells me my emotions aren't true
but, my heart cannot deny that i've had fallen for you.

Once again i've let myself down,
without exepecting this in town and
now all i do is weep and frown.

My dreams are of you holding me in your tight embrace
and the memories i'd ever wanted are now erased.
Heart do tell things you wanna follow ,
but minds takes me off from this sleepy hollow.

You've made me feel emotions i've never felt before
that's why it's so hard to close this loving door.

My story never was of cinderella,
niether was i the one charmed with magic,
Still harder it gets , to know how people are
and their acts , as they behave change ur world with ending as bad and tragic.

But, now it's time to say goodbye, my wonderful enemy or friend
before my passion turns me into a dark end
because, as always, great things... have a great end.

Time Gone!

As the clock ticked slowly and silence filled the room,
The rate of my heart was slow and numb.
Sounds from yesterday rung in my sleep;
Memories from my mind so deep, Fading,
fading away but never;
Gone is yesterday, gone forever.
Gloominess strikes once again, since times never return,
People come and go, leave memories for you to feel the burn.

Things You Do!

Love inside , with a burning pain
Why is it hard , to ever trust again
Things u love and things u admire
Are not the ones who really care.

Love outside, with a secret smile
Why is it there, when u walk alone a mile.
Things u like , and things u do
Not really are the best things for you.

Waiting for future, which is untold
Even when u know, deep inside what it holds.
Things u love and things u admire
Are not the ones who really care.

Waiting hard, for it to rain
Even when u know, it’s for vain.
Things u like , and things u do
Not really are the best things for you .

Remember alone , you have came
And journey ahead of life is going to be same.
Things u do and things u don’t
Are forever left behind , with people with which you have grown.

Those Years

In the whirlpool of thoughts,
Trying to Forget, the time
when it was tough and the one i regret.

Still those years shivers me, bring fear near me
haunt like a ghost which i try not to host.

I have strived to makeover myself,
from the past i lead ......
And wait with an embrace for my future ahead.

Live Truely!

What goes around comes around.
Work like you don't need the money.
Love like you've never been hurt.

Dance like nobody's watching.
Sing like nobody's listening.


Live like it's Heaven on Earth.
