The Holy-day

There are days when you get up feeling really positive and happy. 
For the past few days, everyday I've got up to has been such, which is quite a contrast to the past few months. 
Who do i have to thank? Well lets see....someone, everyone. 
Sometimes things stay in your subconscious and take long before they surface for good. All that gyaan about 'New Day New Beginning', ' Live in the Present', 'Trust', and various other things all does come to you. But you don't have to wait for it. Move on with your life, go to new places, meet new people and before you know it, it will all come to you. You'll be sitting there and it will all click. And little pieces of your soul will come back. And all that fuzzy stuff, those years of your life you've wasted, they will eventually begin to fade. And you'll feel like smiling again. Just for the heck of smiling.
Life is a roller coaster my friends. The sooner you begin to enjoy the ups and downs, and the bumps all around, the lesser the chances of you falling sick. 

Do unto others as you would have others do unto you

God is all pervasive. He sees every action that you do, and ever reaction that you give. Nothing you do remains hidden from that supreme power. 
Know that if every good deed you do is re-payed by good deeds, your bad is also accounted for. Yes forgiven by god. But accounted for.
Do good. Speak good. Think good. 
Before doing anything that you believe is not good, think. Would you like it if someone did the same to you? You will never be able to do anything wrong. You would only bring a smile on your face and everyone else's around you. 
Doing good to everyone doesn't mean everyone will be the same to you. There will be many people ready to bring you down. Upset you. Shatter you. Forgive them. No one is worth hating. There is an inherent goodness in everyone. You forgiving them shows that you are above the mistakes. God resides within you.   
If you expect people to understand you, you need to make the effort to understand them. If you want people to respect you, respect them too. Love people, if you want to be loved. Spread smiles. 
Always be your bigger self. "EGO is the only requirement to destroy any relationship. So be the bigger person skip the 'E' and let it 'GO'." If you've made a mistake and you know it, first forgive yourself and make amends. Things that are done can be undone. Remember if you come from your natural self, the other person will understand. 
Life is worth living with everyone. Remember its not always about you. Be self-less. Spread joy. Be joy. Do onto others as you would have others do unto others as you would have others do unto you. 

Mistakes

You’re at your friend’s to see her freshly made science model. It’s on the table. You pick it up for closer examination and its slips out of your grasp, on to the floor. Mistake.

The noise pulls your friend to the spot. She looks down and then at you. You are told to go away. Intention.

My mistake is a mistake, yours intention?  

A mistake is a mistake, neither yours nor mine.

But a mistake happens and is made once. If done again then it seizes to be a mistake.

Take the lesson from a mistake. You’ve made it. It’s done. Regret isn’t making it any better. Take the lesson and move ahead.

Stay with the pinch of it. Not the regret.

Life is lived and loved today, right now. Live it. Love it. Yesterday is not making a difference and you can’t make a difference to the future. The present is a gift from god. That is why it’s the "present". Appreciate it. Be grateful. Smile. Live elated.

Painting of the soul

When going to the guru empty yourself.

Once Buddha gathered 100 people for a sermon. People waited eagerly for Buddha to talk but he sat absolutely silent.

All of a sudden a disciple Mahakashaya started laughing. Buddha called him in front and presented him with a lotus. He told the people “What can be conveyed through words I have told you people, what cannot be told through words I have told Mahakashya.” Saying this he walked away.

It was a heart to heart transfer.

The Bhagavad Gita was conveyed by Krishna to Arjuna in the same way. Only the receptive can understand it.

When going to the Guru one must empty them selves.

The Guru is there to fill in colors to your soul’s canvas. It however must be remembered that a canvas will always look beautiful if old paints are not overlapped by new ones.

Let your canvas be blank, empty as they may, for the Guru to work wonders on it.

The Guru has the power to put everything in place. He is the one window in a room through which the light filters in. Let that light shine in. Leave the window wide open.
