Don’t let go of the child completely….

♥Good morning friends,

Why do we love children so much?
Whether strangers or our own.
Innocent to look at, having the soft touch,
They’re more pleasant than anything we’ve known.

They may not appear to be worldly wise,
They tackle each task with a fresh approach.
Their innocence is a blessing in disguise,
Most things that they do are beyond reproach.

They’re enthusiastic about trying new things,
They don’t think twice before talking to strangers.
They take in their stride all mood swings,
They’re not deterred by obstacles and dangers.

Isn’t there a lesson in this for all of us?
We need to be childlike even when growing old.
Wisdom and knowledge are just superfluous,
We need to go beyond rules and break the mould.

A child is innovative and questions tradition,
A child doesn’t hold grudges for long.
A child does things for others without precondition,
A child accepts it quickly when it is in the wrong.

Whilst growing if we let go of the child,
We gain a little but lose much more.
Yes, to growing old we’ve to be reconciled,
But the need to be childlike we shouldn’t ignore.

….whilst growing old.

Congratulations!

♥Good morning friends,

Today is the day to celebrate,
These messages are three hundred days old.
I hope I have been able to communicate,
Lessons that needed to be retold.
Thank you for staying with me this long,
Thank you for making me and these strong.

In the beginning even I doubted,
Whether I would be able to go this far.
But then, each day, when a new one sprouted,
I started seeing them as they are.
These have been thus a lesson to me too:
‘One step at a time can see me through.’

You and I have formed a great association,
In devouring these ditties one day at a time.
Both of us have together savoured the sensation,
Of accessing wisdom through reason and rhyme.
Please stay with me in the coming days,
A new trail we’ve been able to blaze.

….our partnership here is three hundred not out!

Happy Easter…

♥Good morning friends,

Easter, for us serves as a reminder,
That God can and will never die.
If at all, He emerges more loving and kinder.
You can never, to Good, bid good-bye.
Again and again Good over Evil prevails,
No matter, in the cross, you drive many nails.

Jesus demonstrated to us as a man,
The power of Good over Evil.
Good was, is and will be God’s plan,
He demonstrated it in times mediaeval.
This Easter let’s celebrate this fact,
God and Goodness shall stay intact.

….let’s celebrate the Risen Lord.

Listen to the songs of silence….

♥Good morning friends,

Sometimes silence can convey more than words,
Please watch even animal and birds.
They sit far but appear to have nearness,
Without anything spoken there appears to be clearness.
When they are alone and not in flocks or herds.

Silence as a language conveys much more,
There is much meaning in it even after or before.
We must be trained to hear,
By the heart and not the ear,
What silence conveys to us from its endless store.

….through the medium of your heart.

Storm is not the way of Life….

♥Good morning friends,

Every day is followed by dark night,
Nay, every night is followed by daybreak.
It depends upon where you set your sight,
Life can be headache or a piece of cake.
God gives us life as a clean slate,
We can make it drab or make it great.

There are two ways of looking at most things,
The positive people look at the brighter side,
Whereas the optimist can dance as his hear sings,
The pessimist expects and prepares for landslide.
God gives us life as a clean slate,
We can make it drab or make it great.

Yesterday was stormy, but that day is past,
Today is sunny and tomorrow will be better.
There is never a reason to be downcast,
No one gains if you are a fretter.
God gives us life as a clean slate,
We can make it drab or make it great.

Sunbyanyname promises you sunnier days ahead,
God actually wants us to have a wonderful time.
This God’s word, please help me spread.
This fact is, of God’s Creation, the real paradigm:
God gives us life as a clean slate,
We can make it drab or make it great.

….there are always sunnier days ahead.

A little humility can achieve much more….

♥Good morning friends,

Laws of interactions don’t follow geometry,
So, when you bend, you actually emerge taller.
That’s really a strange thing about humility,
You bow but you are nowhere near being smaller.
You decide to lose but actually gain.
Your simple act never goes in vain.

The greater a man is the more humility he has,
This too is against plain geometry.
That’s why a humble man is sometimes known as,
The one blessed with great civility.
Everyone is made by the same God,
How can His creations be flawed.

Sometimes in anger or in rage,
When you have an urge to show the other down.
From the immediate situation just disengage,
And let humility replace your frown.
And lo, you suddenly emerge on top,
How long the madness can go on nonstop?

….than heaps of anger and arguments.

No one can ever buy Time….

♥Good Morning Friends,

Sometimes one uses the expression:
“For this, I haven’t got the Time.”
That leads us to the question:
If the reality escapes us sometime.
Time no one ever possesses,
You can see it go by as it progresses.

Time is never in anyone’s hand,
Even though we wear it on the wrist.
All the time runs out the sand,
We can’t hold what we’ve already missed.
Time no one ever possesses,
You can see it go by as it progresses.

So the wise use that moment well,
That is now here but fleeting.
Next moment for you’ll come, you can’t tell,
Enjoy whilst the heart’s still beating.
Time no one ever possesses,
You can see it go by as it progresses.

….not even a moment.

Thank God we can disagree…

♥Good morning friends,

Even when we disagree with anyone,
There is no reason to be rude.
Disagreements are to be taken in stride,
They needn’t lead to a feud.

There is no way all people can agree,
On one way of doing anything.
God has given us the right to disagree,
He hasn’t given us the right to sting.

Different perspectives need to be celebrated,
Rather than being viewed as threats.
Those who have the art to gracefully differ,
Do so without anger and regrets.

If everyone would have the same view,
How boring the world would be.
Hence we should value these differences,
Rather than on everything grudgingly agree.

….and still be friends.

Keeping desires under check….

Good morning friends,

With great tenacity we stick to our desires,
And they gradually become like wild fires.
We sometimes feel there won’t be life without them,
There is no way, we feel, their flow we can stem.

The truth is that our desires we constantly feed,
We always want to have more than we need.
Gradually we become under their control.
And they, not we, become our life’s goal.

Desires and Trust in God are poles apart,
God has already provided what should be in our heart.
By nourishing our desires we convey to Him,
The chances of our liking His gifts are dim.

In the end we have to invariably bow to His will,
Even if at first glance it appears downhill.
We should gradually learn to live without desires,
God already knows what each of us requires.

….is a great way to find yourself and God.

Everyone deserves a smile….

♦Good morning friends,

Just make it your style,
To have for everyone a smile.
You will be able to see,
That it brings all round glee,
And does wonders to your own profile.

Of all the gifts that God gave Man,
Very few accomplish what smile can.
Your enemies it can disarm,
And you find there is no harm,
In believing Smile is part of God’s plan.

Receiving one is a great reward,
Especially when given by own accord,
By someone grateful to you,
For things that you did or do,
It is nice to know you are adored.

The worth of a smile only he knows,
Who is covered with misery up to his nose.
It is as if in a rough patch,
Not a whiff of air he can catch,
But he comes across the most beautiful rose.

….and it doesn’t cost a thing.

Love your purpose and position in life….

Good morning friends,

Each one of us has a distinct role to play,
In selecting that role we may not have much say.
It doesn’t matter whether it is big or small,
What matters is whether we give it our all,
Or allow other factors to come in the way.

It is our ‘karma’ to do assigned task well,
If tomorrow will come we can’t really tell,
So it has to be done today,
And not abandoned half way,
In whatever our hands find to do we need to excel.

And let’s not envy someone else’s position,
To have another’s job is not a good ambition.
We should just love our own,
Without a grunt or groan,
Remember, whatever it is, it is our life’s mission.

….and excel in that.

Are there needs beyond Maslow’s?

Good morning friends,

What I said about stages of prayers yesterday,
Applies also to the stages of one’s needs.
But, Maslow’s Needs Pyramid has only to say,
About how one’s individual aspiration proceeds.
From Physiological to Self-Actualisation.
Each need is to do with individual salvation.

Now let’s put all these individual needs at the base,
And proceed further up the path to learn.
And think about those who don’t participate in the race,
But do things for others without anything in return.
Surely this must rank higher than any individual need,
There is neither an expectation nor any greed.

The highest would be when you let go of self altogether,
And have only a desire to merge with God.
There is no need to put in your cap a feather,
One finds that every other desire is flawed.
There is no need or desire beyond it,
In the court of your Maker you finally sit.

Yes, indeed, there are.
