The Life of My Mother Was A Great Tenacity

By -

We lived in a small house with a thatched roof and a dirt floor.  We couldn’t think to repair it at that time. My mother worked in the fields at least ten hours per day to feed us.

She reckoned her generation was “the bridge between the past and the future,” and felt a responsibility to help us by her hard work. She believed in what he had, that there was no complaint from anyone else.


Thus, the misery, fear and economic deprivation of my childhood were forever etched into my psyche. Read More...


हम एक छोटे से घर में एक फूस की छत और एक कच्चे फर्श के साथ रहते थे। हम उस समय इसकी मरम्मत करने के बारे में नहीं सोच सकते थे। वह हमें खिलाने के लिए प्रति दिन कम से कम दस घंटे खेतों में काम करती थी।

उनका मानना था कि उनकी पीढ़ी "अतीत और भविष्य के बीच का सेतु" थी, और अपनी मेहनत से हमारी मदद करने की जिम्मेदारी महसूस की। उसे, उसके पास क्या है, में ही विश्वास था कि और किसी से कोई शिकायत नहीं थी ।

इस प्रकार, मेरे बचपन का दुख, भय और आर्थिक अभाव हमेशा के लिए मेरे मानस में अंकित हो गया।

Why do relationships become painful?

By -
Image
When we want more, or when we lack it, then love hurts. Losing a relationship can be extremely painful. Relationship, or love, is so important that it is the thing couples fight about the most. This happens in every small thing. Like we are watching a show. My partner is saying, "Wait, I want to see what this is about" and I keep scrolling, ignoring his quote, that seed of conflict has been sown. Alternatively, when I ask if we can go sightseeing this weekend and my spouse either says yes, and does not follow through, or says “sightseeing!" You know I hate going out unnecessarily! Being aware of how we create communications to connect with each other and paying attention to whether we are following through. Because it has been a while. Alternatively, even "I would love to, but because of the craziness at work I'm not up to it. Can we find another way to spend time together, and we can do it another weekend? Can we plan to do something new? Alternatively...

Years ago a man named "Hathi" was living my neighboring village. He was very strong in physical. There were no public transport that time nor do the people have money to afford.  One day "Hathi" went to see some of his relatives around twenty miles away. While coming back to home he saw a heavy stone used for mixing & grinding home construction material. He planned to carry it to his village. So he lifted it on his shoulder and brought to his village. Near to his house there was a Panchyat Ghar. Lot of aged people sit there in the evening for "Hooka." When he was passing through they called him asked for "Hooka." Saying that he is coming from a long distance and have some water and rest. Tomorrow will place it at the right place. Hathi urged them to place the stone at the right place but they stopped him doing so. That stone remained there. In 1985 Government launched a scheme to lay down stone in the streets of the villages. Then this stone...

The True Spiritual Practice

By -
Image
Today there are many saints, but there is no sadhana. Sadhana without sadhana is like paper flowers. In which there is a lot of multicolored attraction, but there is a complete lack of fragrance. Such paper flowers are seen everywhere today. Because of this, the intensity and brightness of religion has dimmed. Religion is impossible in the absence of spiritual practice. The roots of religion are in spiritual practice. In the absence of spiritual practice, a saint's life can either be mere acting or oppression. Both these things are not auspicious. False expression of penance is hypocrisy, while mere repression is even more deadly. There is the torture of struggle in it, but there is no achievement in it. That which is suppressed does not die, but slides into deeper layers. On the one hand, a saint without sadhna is tormented by the pangs of lust; His life keeps burning in their flames; The fierce race of desire keeps giving him pain every moment; On the other hand, the flames...

Success Is Not Just a Coincidence

By -
Image
Success is not just a coincidence. This is the result of our perspective and we can choose our own perspective. Therefore, success is a matter of choice, not of chance. Most of the people keep waiting for a lottery to take place, but can they get success in it? You have to choose to work hard and you have to choose to be in the right place at the right time. You also have to be able to recognize what an opportunity looks like. Nothing happens by chance. Everything happens for a reason. Success is an opportunity and opportunity comes only to those who prepare themselves. Chance or luck is being prepared to see an opportunity. Our continuous efforts can make any impossible task possible. Just as a continuously flowing river cuts even a mountain. If you want to win, consider these thoughts. The eagerness to do something new always takes a person to his destination. Many types of obstacles come in the way of success due to which a person loses and changes his path. Those who maintain t...

There are many difficulties in life, still there is a smile on the lips, because when you have to live in every situation, then what is the harm in living with a smile, keep making new friends, keep eradicating hatred, keep grooming yourself and do good, life is that simple. And it is simple.? Life itself is an opportunity which comes only once, so it is important to take full advantage of it by laughing and smiling. Every moment, every moment is very precious because once it passes it will not come back.

Views and Viewpoints of Thinking

By -

It is a universal truth that change is the law of nature. After every night comes a day. Similar changes keep happening in our lives also. Some things change as per our wish and some things happen automatically without our efforts. Just as stagnant water gets filled with dirt and flowing water automatically remains clean and pure. Similar changes keep happening in human life also. Sometimes the scenery changes and sometimes the view of thinking changes. The change of scenery is not only refreshing; In some circumstances, this is the right choice. Different people see the same person in different ways. It is not certain that every Sunday is a holiday, it does not mean that every holiday will be followed by a Monday. Recognizing that, in terms of personal growth and development, we are not at the level we believe we should be. If we do not first change ourselves i.e. do not create a better self; So no matter where we go, who we meet, whatever new situation we find ourselves in, we...

Testament to The Power of Resilience

By -
Image
The desert is a testament to the power of resilience. Despite its harsh conditions, life manages to survive and thrive. It teaches us to be resilient in the face of adversity, recover from failures and keep moving forward. A desert is a vast area of dry, barren land. Deserts are either hot or cold environments with relatively little rainfall throughout the year. Deserts are characterized by a lack of vegetation and trees. Cactus-like plants and shrubs which are thorny and woody are found in deserts. An oasis appears to be a green island in the desert. Desert plants and animals can survive with little water. However, many other animals and plants cannot survive in deserts. The desert is an endless sandy scene, undulating dunes, sand all around. Even the sand blowing in the wind keeps blowing on your face. But despite such minor tortures, the desert is supernaturally beautiful, enchanting, mind-numbing, hypnotizing. Sunset and dawn cannot be described in words. It may seem like no...
