YOU ARE POWERFUL!

1. 
   

    Again talking to you after a long time; wondering where the world is going and when all this would be an ended chapter? I am sure, all of you feel the same way as I do; I am waiting for that moment, when I would very safely be able to say, "Thank God, the bad chapter is over! Now we can look forward to a greener earth and a greener hope!" Very unfortunately, the chapter doesn't seem to be closed as yet! We still remain to pay the heavy price for all the chaos that we have created. The brighter side is that, as human beings we have been endowed with an intelligence that no other species on the earth has and we can create heaven or hell, with that intellect! Choice is ours!  

   We are powerful! Each one of us is equal to a thousand, provided we make use of our inner strength! We are filled up to the brim, with an inner power, of which we are unaware. 

   It is an age old experience that we are, what we think! So if we think we are, we are; if you think positive, positive will happen; if you crib, you will be handed over with more cribbing! If you feel that someone has insulted you, it’s your own feeling, may be that was not meant to be! The feeling itself will leave you insulted, having a negative impact on your body and mind! If you feel you have been wronged; look at the other side, maybe you will change your perception! 

   We are humans, brought up in a particular way, trained to think in a particular way! We can train ourselves to be positive, think positive and make positive happen! Affirmations can help us! Affirmations are positive statements you can keep saying to yourself! They help us to rewire our brains to think uniquely and differently, to think what and how you want it to think.

   Changing our habits will help us be positive. This will make our vision and the world positive! Nature has given us abundantly and it is our duty to maintain it, preserve it and see that it blooms! Keep saying positive things, keep repeating them; when we believe in them, nature will help us achieve them. 

    

   My favourite affirmatives are;

   Whatever is happening is for my good!

   Whatever happens is by the will of God and he has better designs for us!

   No one can hurt me, because no one is negative, the situation may force us to think otherwise, but basically all are intentionally good! 

   I love all and likewise people love me!

   One wrong doing never changes a lifetime of good work! 

   I am happy and satisfied and I can see happiness around me! 

   Every dark cloud has a silver lining and I will wait for it! 

   I am changing for the good and that’s great!

   I can see the good in every circumstance.

   Each one of us can think of many more; pen them down and keep repeating them, it will miraculously turn true!

   Happy mind changing!

A YEAR THAT WAS!

A YEAR THAT WAS !!!

Hi dear friends,

I truly feel lost on this last day of the year 2020! When I turn back and introspect, I wonder if I really did go through 2020? I am sure all of you will identify with me, when I say, this year never came! But all said and done, we are on the threshold of 2021, bidding a farewell to 2020! We have lost many things and gained a lot too! I pen here my feelings, with a heavy heart, hoping to witness a new dawn, with new hopes! 

 

One such year was truly here!!!!

One such year was truly here,

Difficult to believe but it’s true,

When we all were aghast,

Till March 2020, nothing we knew!

 

Marching came a tiny being,

It took us all for a ride,

Neither could we do anything,

Nothing was in our hands, to decide!

 

Little did we know, what was going to happen?

How we take everything for granted,

Our whole life was to change,

Nothing was as we desired or as we wanted!

 

There was no aroma of pickles,
Neither a cup of ice cream and cake,
No shops of sugarcane juice,
Neither a glass of mango shake!

No one gave wedding invitations,
Neither were we called for the preceding eve,
No chance of paying heartfelt homage visits,
Neither could we attend death rituals and express grief!

There wasn’t an expectation of branded apparels,
Neither was wanted expensive makeup,
Neither did we buy costly shoes,
Nor got gold jewellery made up!

No one bought railway tickets,
Neither bus reservations were hooked,
Empty were all hotel rooms and
Neither were any flights booked!

No chance of visiting maternal abodes,
Neither the taste of mother’s cooking,
No visits to friends’ places,

No get-togethers or outings!

There were no temple bells,
Neither the squabbles for worship queues,
Nor did we donate at piers,
Neither were we fed holy laddoos!

Though many good things the year brought,

It made us think and collect our thoughts,

It made us look inside and introspect,

It made us look at everyday things with respect!

 

It showed us how to live at home,

To live with minimum and demand less,

It taught us self-dependence and self-help,

To do more and expect crisis to face!

 

It showed us how important health is,

How fitness counts and immunity develops,

How to indulge in proper, healthy eating

And what to eat and how it envelops!

 

The year brought us closer,

As family members and friends,

It showed us how significant it is,

To have a shoulder that befriends!

 

Things we never had time for,

Would take up any time, we assumed!

Books became important,

So also hobbies were resumed!

 The students were at home,

But teachers met them online,

Teaching continued,

With full vigour and in time!

 

Conferences and Seminars halted,

But zoomed in Meet and Zoom,

Proving once again,

How man overcomes doom!

 

Many business endeavours halted,

But many flourished,

God was visible,

In doctors, nurses, health workers and police!

 

It was a year that,

Brought forth the fact,

That never is all lost and

Keeping together keeps all intact!

 

It was year that brought anxiety,

Depression, uneasiness and poverty,

It stressed the importance of meditation,

Belief and faith in our beloved deity!

 

The year once again stressed before us,

That environment is God!

The more you tamper with it,

The more you will face the odd!

 

This 2020 will always be remembered,
As a year never awaited,
One such year was truly here,
Neither anyone dreamt, nor baited!

 BE HAPPY

It’s been quite some time since I last conversed with you! Yes, its been a year, very different from the others that we have ever experienced! A year that truly held us at a tenterhook, a year that was totally unpredictable and a year that doesn't know what is coming up next? We all are in a fix, we don't know what's coming up next and how do we take it all? 

What best can we do in such a situation?

I believe what we can do is "BE HAPPY!"

It’s a great wealth to be able to be happy! It is a function of Positive Thinking, some Special Skills, a Great Mindset and Active Actions! I know it’s difficult in adverse situations but then, what's the harm in trying?

I have tried out some things, which I am putting down before you, see if it helps? 

First thing we can do is not to think about the past or the future and Live in the Moment!

Stressing about the past doesn't make one happy and worrying about the future wouldn't make one happy! Let’s try to focus our energy on the present. The present moment is the only one we have and we can do something about it! We can learn from our past errors but without lingering on it and we can plan for the future without getting too involved in it! 

Every moment is a gift from God, so let's cherish it and focus on the good that's happening in this moment! Let us thank God for that He has given us which many do not have! 

Happiness is inborn, innate, inside us, it can’t be concocted! Its in our own hands to be happy! Create your own happiness by being grateful and living in "NOW!" 

Bless me and my people, my God,

Give me strength to face all odd,

I would remain grateful to you,

For keeping me satisfied and happy,

In the sense true!

During these hard times, which we faced from around March 2020 onwards, it has been an observation that those who had a positive attitude, a positive mind-set could sail through! The power of mind is tremendous! Sometimes we feel so dejected that we are on the verge of a nervous breakdown! Everything seems futile, we feel everyone and even nature is against us and it is OK if we do not exist! This stage comes in the life of every individual, sooner or later! But one, who overcomes this, with the power of mind, is a true positive person! 

It has been observed that persons with age over 90 years have emerged strongly after being affected by Corona and one of age 40 has lost to it! This, of course, may have many underlying reasons, physiological and medical conditions but definitely one of them is the will to fight and overcome! 

Someone has troubled you, mentally and physically, the wound remains! The person is gone, he or she may not even remember the incidence, but you, as a victim, will remember the physical and mental insult, disturbing your mind-set! This may lead to conditions like diabetes, hypertension, which are definitely known to be caused due to stress! Even trivial looking infections like common cold, cough, fever to cancers are known to occur because of harbouring of negative emotions! Do you think it is necessary? 

Louise Hay's book "You can heal your life" is a beautiful example!  Clean your mind and make the slate receptive! Excuse all the people who you feel are against you! They don't matter! Your body is your best partner, who is going to be with you till death, so care for it! Your body heals itself, whether you take remedial medicines or not! It has a fantastic healing mechanism! Fill it with positive thoughts and all will seem and be GREEN and healthy! 

Saint Tukaram very aptly described this so long back, we need to contemplate on it and truly imbibe it in our lifes!

मन करा रे प्रसन्‍न । 

सर्व सिद्धीचें कारण । 

मोक्ष अथवा बंधन । 

सुख समाधान इच्छा ते ॥

This festival, let’s not fire crackers, but lets go on the expedition of mind cleaning and

harbouring positive thoughts! 

 Hoping for a GREEN attitude and GREEN life!
