Devotion...........

Emotions in persons are very different, very odd
Devotion is a character blessed only by God

The character who has reached heights of fame  - Hanuman
is being worshiped today for being staunch devotee of Lord Ram

Sant Kabir spoke to people through his 'dohe'
Sudama gained prosperity in life by sharing with Lord Krishna some 'pohe'

Dyaneshwar, Tukaram, Ramdas -were a few blessed soul
preaching their 'enlightenment' through 'abhangs' being their goal

So many saints, few known and many unknown, though mortal
sang praises of the God merrily and became immortal

Being a devotee is not at all easy
for he has to obey Master's command selflessly

If selfless surrender is difficult, to put one's ego at other's feet is daunting
The criticisms from every corner of society will be always mounting

A true devotee can gain control of all such mental block
For he enjoys the company of his Master at every tick of clock

Once the mind is ready, the hindrances are few
the devotee explores avenues of life, for him which is new

The fruits of devotion quenches the thirst of satisfaction
Puts into back seat - greed, anger, fear and other emotion

The beauty of this relation can be felt as the two live in worlds apart
Still both live together and meet only after the soul departs

IKIGAI (Book Review)

IKIGAI - A Japanese Secret to Long and Happy Life by Hector Gracia & Fancesc Miralles (translated by Heather Cleary) A very small but an effective book which shows the way for living a long life. The authors have not only stated the definition and other features of the word "IKIGAI" but took pains to travel to the actual place and interview the "CENTENERIANS" and many such stories are published in this book.The entire narrative is simple to understand for an average reader and tips to implement the same is also given. Hailing from the West, the authors have made comparative study of various practices on similar lines and how "IKIGAI" helps people of the Island OKINAWA survive for longer years is put up beautifully. The travel to a smaller village within the island - OGIMI - called as the Village of Longetivity is penned up wonderfully that the reader can actually have a sense of belonging. IKIGAI in English roughly translates to "the happiness of ...

Poison

In the old age days of kings, queens, and chariots ride  Conquering a neighboring kingdom was a matter of pride  A few powerful kings had a charismatic personality  They hardly bothered about the aftermath of the fatality  The tales of Ramayana and Mahabharata are not merely mythological  They carry messages for the modern-day people to be logical  Two characters in each of these tales who hated the heir to the crown  Manthara and Shakuni, for their revenge, turned the tables upside down  They were individually sober people, incompetent to enter into combat physically  Their malafide intentions were unknown to anyone, they were tough mentally  When the moment stuck, they released the venomous poison in the minds they had trained  They were patient enough to wait for years to ensure their enemies were brutally pained  History is proof that neither of these people was wrong in their actions  They played their role to perfect...
