It's Time To Pack Up

As the hand of our clocks rolled, we find us on the verge of end of 2010. We have also started wishing happy new year 2011 to our near ones. But, we also have to bid farewell to this year. How can we do this?
Just think when we leave a place where we had been for long time as guests, we thank the host and also say sorry for our mistakes made either knowingly or unknowingly. The same thing is to be done here also. Today we just need to thank the year for giving us an year long refuge. We should thank our friends and relatives for everything they did for us. We need to thank the Master (God) for his kindness. We should say sorry to everyone whom we think were hurt by us. We should sit alone and repent before Almighty for all our mistakes which seems unforgiveable to us. I am sure, His eternal kindness will make us free from our sins. This will make us purer and we'll be able to feel the freshness of 2011.

Religions Are Innocent

Image
Today there is a very popular saying, “Religions divide and spirituality unites”. I have heard this sentence from some learned men as well. Recently, I came across a statement in facebook in which the person had written that the religions keep on creating chaos and if they are not stopped it may lead to something that you can’t think of even. A movie recently released also aims at religions stating that a religion either makes a man weak or a terrorist. In today’s world we are surrounded by numerous luxuries. Today works can be done in amazingly small amount of time with even less implementation of effort. This is making us (with these things) more powerful and efficient and us (without these things) even more weak and lazy. Today we do not have time to think about anything beyond our office and home. In such conditions, if a statement comes to us from whatever source it may come, that is easily accepted by us. It spreads as a jungle fire in the society. And if a statement has come fro...

What Exists And What Not?

Existence has been a very widely discussed topic from times immemorial. It is because, our understanding of what exists and what not helps us to understand that what our actions and efforts should be directed towards. If we long for something that never actually existed, we are sure to land among despair. Only one whose efforts are oriented towards the true existence is worthy of achieving peace and happiness. A child starts crying loud if it’s lovely necklace, which it has got from somewhere and now uses it for its childish game, gets separated into beads. It assumes the necklace as an independent existence. It doesn't know that those small beads are the one that combine to make up its lovely toy. Then its parent again fixes it and the child get surprised and happy again to get back its cradle. The parent doesn't get worried about breaking of the thread, because he sees those beads as the core of the existence of the necklace. The notion is that the parent sees beads as the co...
