Journey of Life

The journey to a goal is always cool,
Once it's is done, we want something new,
We want the journey that takes us there,
A whole new feeling the end wouldn't have.

The journey of life is what’s really fun,
It's always boring to do what’s done,
And it’s nice to find new ways to do,
What’s never been done in the life by you.

So enjoy your journey, don't see it as pain,
The journey is what keeps you going again.
It’s not the goal you will realize,
But the journey of life that has the spice.

Distance of Hearts

Have you ever thought When we love someone we are able to understand what they are thinking without having to say anything. There is a very simple logic to this.

Our hearts are able to speak to other hearts. When we love someone, anyone husband, wife, parents, brothers or sisters, our hearts are closer to them. So the closer the heart the more softly the hearts need to communicate. One heart would whisper and the other would be able to listen.

However when we are angry, we stand in the face of the other person, but we are screaming as if the other person is standing miles away. This is because when we are angry the distance between our hearts has increased, hence one heart has to scream for the other heart to hear.

So it's the distance between the hearts and not the physical distance with people that actually matters in life.

Responsible for Joy.

Everyone is responsible for their own joy.

Dose of Thought

Don't let fear stop you, it only means you're facing great opportunities.

Looking Around

Looking around trying to find,
Happiness is what’s on the mind,
Where to look and what to find?
These questions asked are always fine.

The forest of wealth, the ocean of greed,
Looking around in the wrong places indeed,
For happiness is not something kept around,
Inside your heart, is where it's found.

Stop expecting in life and you'll see,
Happiness will stay with you indeed,
But its your the one, who must decide,
As happiness is deep inside your mind.

-- Karan Parwani

Problems in Life

We all face problems in life, and always believe that it is the worst situation to be in. We feel very miserable and always believe why this is happening to us? But when we compare our problems with anyone else’s problem we realize that our problem is nothing as compared to other problems people face.

When in a problem try and think about the worst situation that could happen with the given problem. Only then you will realize that the worst situation is not really very big. If the problem will seem as a small one, it will help reduce stress in return help the problem to disappear. Any problem could be resolved or worked upon. A problem is not the end of the world but a learning, which later in life we will call experience.

Think Think ...

There are two ways of meeting difficulties: you alter the difficulties or you alter yourself meeting them.

Life of Running

Every time you wake up please ask yourself,
If this life is really taking you to hell,
Coz all we do is run around,
Make some money and still we frown.

Do you enjoy the money you earn so hard?
Do you have time for pleasures, maybe not so much?
An uncertain future, a certainly lost present,
We still run for the money, and dream for heaven.

At the end of the day you will realize,
It was not really worth running all your life,
For your present is the real future you've got,
With sweet memories of life in every drop.

Feel the Beauty

The beauties of life are more than the eyes can see.

Dose of Thought

The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing you will make one.

Truth of Life

You here most people talking about the truth in life. What is this truth nobody is ready to tell you or explain it to you. Yet they seem to be speaking about it. So how do we know how to look for the truth and understand it?

Well here is some guidance from my understanding. The truth of life is achieving self actualization or enlightenment. Now what do we truly mean by this? Some people would think enlightenment is being religious. Just being religious is not enlightenment, it involves more efforts than just being religious.

Enlightenment is the state in which you have full control on your mind and thoughts. It is when your perception of illusions of life is clear and you can distinguish right from wrong. We may be to be able to distinguish right from wrong, but at times we may think wrong if not do so. Through many kinds of disciplines in life, one can achieve enlightenment and in turn achieve the truth of life.

Think Think ...

The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see
the past better than it was, the present worse than it is, and
the future less resolved than it will be.

-- Karan Parwani

Confusion

Confusions in life, will always be there,
Try clearing these confusions, only if you care,
Confusions of what you need to do in life?
Confusions of what you want to do with life?

Confusions only try to make you scared,
Seek guidance and help create your steps,
Decisions clear confusions for a while,
Then they come back with another kind.

Confusion only makes you think,
And help the mind to create its wings,
May its right or maybe it’s wrong,
Confusions help you to make you strong.

-- Karan Parwani

Fear

In general life, we fear some or many things. But we never spend time in thinking, what is that fear. For example we fear the darkness, but what exactly is it that we fear in the darkness. Thinking about this might even remove your fear.

We only fear the unknown, but never really thinking rationally about the fear. At times at work we fear we will not be able to perform a given task. But then think thoroughly, what will happen if you are not able to perform a given task. Not always will you lose your job, but we are more scared of making a fool of ourselves, rather than loosing a job.

Honestly no one cares of what we do, but ourselves. If you think about any problems and see the worst case scenario, you will realize that the problem is actually very small. That’s when you will be able to gain further confidence and perform better than you expected. Fear is nothing but an illusion of the time.

If we don't know something, we should not fear it, we should take it and learn it. Even an attempt will teach you something, and will not go waste. So think about your fears and you will realize most of them will cease to exist.

Dose of Thought

Most people are busy living their life, to ever put any life into their living.

Cause and Effect

A life without cause is a life without effect

Failure

If you fail don't worry, it’s not the end,
You will have a chance to do it again,
Never give up, on things you do,
Life is long, you will pull through.

You learnt it hard, which will do you good,
You will definitely shine better than you would,
So take that failure and move ahead,
You will come out stronger than every head.

Don't take this failure out of your life,
It will make you stronger, and fly high as a kite,
Failure helps you learn greater details of life,
Failure is not wrong, unless you take it right.

-- Karan Parwani

Think Think ...

All the art of living, lies in a fine balance of letting go and holding on.

Lost or Learnt

Look around you, and think about what you have lost in life. When we lose something we are too pre-occupied with crying about the loss. But we never seem to understand what we have learnt from that. Life is teaching us all the time, sometimes we learn the hard way.

But it is for us to truly understand the learning from that loss. Nothing lasts forever, what comes in this world must go, we must keep telling ourselves this every now and then. This will keep us less connected to things around us, at the same time not hurt as much when we lose something.

So you need to ask a question, that have you really lost something in life or really learnt something from life?

Dose of Thought

When people yearn with all their hearts,
For just one treasure far away,
They close their eyes to countless joys,
That crowd around them every day.

-- Karan Parwani

It happens to everyone

There are times when some bad happens to us and we ask the question, why me? But we don't understand is that is happens to everyone. All are tested in their life.

A woman was greatly sorrowful because of the death of her little son. She went from house to house holding her dead son piteously and begging someone to give him medicine that would bring him back to life. A wise man advised her to go to the Baba, who was nearby lecturing. She stood at the edge of the crowd, her dead son on her hip, and cried, "Oh Exalted One, give me medicine that will bring my son back to life."

The Baba replied, "Very well, but you must fetch me mustard seeds from a house in which no-one has died." She went forthwith to all the houses in town, but at each door she was told, "We would gladly give you seeds, but since you say you may take them only from a house in which no-one has died, then we must disappoint you. So many people have died in this house." Finally she returned to the Baba. "So, did you bring mustard seeds?" he asked. "I am finished with mustard seeds".

Everyone has a bad patch in life, which actually are only testing times. If we make through it, we learn to cope with such situations. Which in future is not so bad for us as we have experience in the same. In the given moment we are so lost with the fact that we are facing a difficult time, that we never realize the fact we are not the only one. It's amazing that when something good happens to us, we never seem to ask the question, why me?

Feeling Light

Life has right and life has wrong,
That shouldn't stop you from moving on,
The right will push, the wrong will pull,
Believe in yourself, you won't make a fool.

Take some time, throw it all away,
All the feelings out into the bay,
Then take a moment and realize,
Your heart which was heavy now feels light.

The good in life will come and go,
The bad in life will try to take more,
But your feeling light, controls your life,
And brings you success in every fight.
