Yesterday my son and myself was walking on the road, when a small branch fell down just missing my son by a whisker. At that time, my son just stood there surprised, knowing not what to say. It was an unexplainable phenomenon. But for me, I was not surprised. You might want to know why? It is simple, we are endowed with an armour around us which protects us from all bad and evil. Its light around us protecting from darkness. But its not compulsory, that we have it all our life time. This armour can be broken, if we do very bad deeds, thoughts and attitudes. Children have more of this aura than adults. That is why, I was sure, that this light would protect children than any man made bullet proof cover. Now the next question is, what is this armour all about, right? It is simple, it is the Godly power, love, which is being enveloped around you and that is too powerful an armour, which is difficult to break. But it would break, when you lie, cheat, hurt others with words and action

Its a question asked several times in our life times, when we are in tears. But have you really got the answer? Its actually like asking, why do you sow a seed? You might able to answer that, right? Yes, to create more plants of the same type, ultimately creating fruits and more seeds. Likewise, we are born to create more souls like us for that we will have to bring out the very best in ourselves and we in the process, become non existent, just like the sown seed, decay and become a big tree with lots of fruits, where birds, people,children, etc. can feed freely and the birds can make nests too. That is why we are here, for others, not for ourselves, then we would gain our goal, to be a zero for that we have to be more perfect creating more perfect souls. With all the circumstances attached, it is a Hereculean task, but if you are able to bring out the best in you even in these difficult times, then you have reached your goal, just like Jesus. But I quoted Jesus, so that you re

Today I happened to hear about the devil. You know, the devil, who flees when he sees a cross? Exactly that one. But do you really believe in devils? I hope not. But, if I say, in real life, there is a devil, then believe it. It is none other than you and me. We are both the devil and the angel. The devil is our mind. It flees when we see a problem (cross) coming, don't you think? And the angel is our heart, which is affected by simple things. It can be broken easily and joined easily, but the mind tries, not to hurt the heart, that is why, it warns us, 'Run, there is a cross coming.' And we devils just flee. And there lies the problem, when we flee from a problem, we are asking for the re-enactment of the same problem, with some extras too from the previous one and if you flee again, then you know, it would come back to you much more forcefully. That is why, Jesus told, take your cross and follow me (the heart). Then the problem is finished or immaterialise the

Lucky are the people who have a trusted friend and a noble foe. What do you think? I know, you would say, Yes. But I too had a trusted friend from very young. But recently, I found that the very person became the key manipulator, in turning my life a living hell. Anyway, that didn't affect my outlook of friends and that too trusted friends because when I was studying in smaller classes, no one knows to keep a secret and from that age onwards, I was cautious that I do not have a secret to pass. That's impossible, right? It was actually easy. I made sure that I do what i don't feel ashamed of, if ever I get caught. You know, in boarding school, we have loads of reasons to get caught. And the judgement is usually done in front of the whole boarding. It is humiliating as it is. But I was toughened by a regular quota of humiliation for several years. What I meant is, in the eyes of a teacher or a boarding mistress, there are several wrongs for our actions, but within us, w

There are times, when I just stand there stuck, without a thought or a word in my being. Just like that. Its like a vacuum. But when I come out of it, I feel good. I think, you also might have had this type of situation. Its a wake up call for us. For what? That we are full to the brim. There are two things which we have to do on a daily basis:- 1. Flush out our bowels in the morning and 2. Flush out our mind every night. The second is not that easy to do. Man is a walking ant hill, of thoughts, emotions, feelings, words, etc.. And by evening we would be half dead immersed in all these things. What do you think? Am I right? I just said this because, I want you to be aware that we are not made to carry an ant hill within us. We are pure beings, very clean and perfect and we can have optimum output only if we throw out our ant hills. And that can be done by consciously throwing out thoughts, which harms our system, that of anger, hatred, etc... That is possible by forgiving,

What do you think about the word sorry. Does it have any use? I would say 'No'. Why? 1. If someone stamps on our leg and the person says sorry to us. Would you be able to forgive them? No way. We would try to control ourselves, not to yell at them. Unless and until it is forgiven, the word sorry has not done its purpose. 2. If you drive on the wrong side of the road and you are stopped by the police. Does sorry has any effect? I don't think so, because you have to pay a fine for breaking traffic rules. Then why include such a waste word in our vocabulary? I would say, try not to do any mistakes, and throw out the word sorry from your vocabulary. Can you do it? I am practicing. At least, we could be far more happier and richer than w were with the word sorry. See you tomorrow. Until then take care. Bye Meena

Whenever I think of Mother Mary. I feel awed. Its not because she is mother of Jesus. Its because she had the courage to say "Yes" when God requested her permission to be the mother of Jesus. We all know that our daily life has lots and loads of problems. That is man made problems. Now, when we read the Bible and in the old testament, we all know, how, the people who was selected by God had to suffer. It was not a bed of roses for these people. So knowing all these, Mary with open eyes consented to accept God's proposition. That is what I would say courage. Do you have that courage? I don't think, I have it. But I take a courageous stand, though I would be trembling inside. So it doesn't make any difference. So, Either have the courage or Show the courage. Life is for the strong hearted. See you tomorrow. Until then, take care. Bye Meena
