Happiness & Misery

2006-02-16T00:17:00.000-08:00

Happiness is a illusive thing it is something like 'A Dog chasing his own Tail’. We are making so many elaborate plans, developments, and so many things simply to make our living conditions better to become happier. But unfortunately the thing we are seeking in life is always eluding us and the example 'A Dog chasing his own Tail’ is very appropriate because whatever the dog does he turns, jumps, twists whatever he does, his tail always out of his reach. So similarly we also maneuvering, manipulating, twisting, jerking doing this doing that doing so many things, going here, going there try to find that happiness, but that happiness somehow always sleeps out of our reach. It appears to be just there but every time we near it, it just disappears something like the mirage that the thirsty man in desert running after it…

Misery is something like a shadow that is never living us. You may have sometimes seen a puppy, he gets a little astonished when he sees his own shadow and he thing it is something different and he tries to shake of the shadow. But whatever he may do the shadow doesn’t get shaken of, the shadow remains there. The similarly the miseries are like our shadows they are following us whenever we go, we all are making so many attempts to shake of these miseries, to shake of our shadows but it’s not possible, they are just clink on to us….

(Situation - the CM speaks on the Death of his Childhood friend, a businessman who had helped a lot to the CM, a poor farmer's son, in childhood..)

Is kali Thandi Rakh ko Vapas kar Raha hu mai,
Aur isi ke saath Louta raha hu Ye Safed Mitti,
Ye Gatihin Paani, ye baheri Hawa aur
Ye Yathah Aakash jo Gunga Hai...

Yu to mai Janta hu, he Iswar ki tum Jante the ki
Yek Din mai sab kuch isi tarah tumhe Vapas Kar Dunga...

UR Dreams R about YOU Only

... although everyone has a different opinion, and it all depends on whether one looks at it from an aspect of pure scientific proof. psychology, or faith that something more exists for us than a mere physical life; and having the ability to experience life with spiritual enlightenment and intuition...rather than believing that all this "stuff" called life is just a quirk of nature.

When we sleep, we lose consciousness of ourselves. We do not know what happens to us or even our body. But our subconscious mind still keeps on working. Depending upon our desires, thoughts and events, we see them as dreams. Thus, your mind works in such a way that it fulfils whatever you desire.
Sometimes dreams have helped great scientists to make brilliant discoveries. Sometimes, people come to know about their future when they are dreaming. How that happens – nobody knows.

Usually, dreams are pleasant. However, sometimes they may be frightening causing nightmares. But they are only our frightened fears and emotions that take form of pictures. So do not be afraid, there are no monsters lurking there.And finally, the art of daydreaming that we all know. The ultimate way of dreaming with our eyes open: - that is our own dream world where no trespassers are allowed.

Some researchers have proposed that the fragile memories of dreams also serve a protective function. Without rehearsal, most dreams disappear from memory within 8 minutes, possibly because they are not well-integrated with other memory traces. The evaporation of dream memories reduces the probability of confusing dreams with reality.

Your dreams are all about *YOU*
That means every character in your dream is a reflection of you and not anybody else. Your dream about your boyfriend/girlfriend cheating on you is not about your boyfriend, but tells you something about how YOU feel about your boyfriend...if his character cheats on you in your dream, then it's about your fears or suspicions, and not necessarily a precognitive dream that your sig other is fooling around on you.

Again: every character is a reflection of YOUR feelings, YOUR thoughts, YOUR desires, YOUR fears. Only you can figure out what these characters mean to you in your dreams. A dream interpreter can guess or make suggestions, but the rest is up to you because we don't know these people and you do, although oftentimes the dream's symbology will give helpful hints.

Isn't it strange?

Isn't it strange?

Isn't it strange how Rs. 20/- seems like such a large amount when you donate it to temple, But such a small amount when you go shopping?

Isn't it strange how 2 hours seem so long when you're at place of worship,and how short they seem when you're watching a good movie?

Isn't it strange that you can't find a word to say when you're praying, but you have no trouble thinking what to talk about with a friend?

Isn't it strange how difficult and boring it is to read one chapter of the Bible/ Quran / Gita,but how easy it is to read 100 pages of a popular novel?

Isn't it strange how everyone wants front-row-tickets to concerts or games, but they do whatever is possible to sit at the last row in a holy place?

Isn't it strange how we need to know about an event for temple 2-3 weeks before the day so we can include it in our agenda, but we can adjust it for other events in the last minute?

Isn't it strange how difficult it is to learn a fact about God to share it with others, but how easy it is to learn, understand, extend and repeat gossip?

Isn't it strange how we believe everything that magazines and newspapers say,but we question the words in the Bible and other holy books?

Isn't it strange how everyone wants a place in heaven, but they don't want to believe, do, or say anything to get there?

Isn't it strange how we send jokes in e-mails and they are forwarded right away, but when we are going to send messages about God, we think about it twice before we share it with others?

IT'S STRANGE ISN'T IT?

The History of Valentine's Day

The History of Valentine's Day

As early as the fourth century B.C., the Romans engaged in an annual young man's rite to passage to the God Lupercus. The names of the teenage women were placed in a box and drawn at random by adolescent men; thus, a man was assigned a woman companion for the duration of the year, after which another lottery was staged. After eight hundred years of this cruel practice, the early church fathers sought to end this practice... They found an answer in Valentine, a bishop who had been martyred some two hundred years earlier.

According to church tradition St. Valentine was a priest near Rome in about the year 270 A.D. At that time the Roman Emperor Claudius-II who had issued an edict forbidding marriage.This was around when the heyday of Roman empire had almost come to an end. Lack of quality administrators led to frequent civil strife. Learning declined, taxation increased, and trade slumped to a low, precarious level. And the Gauls, Slavs, Huns, Turks and Mongolians from Northern Europe and Asian increased their pressure on the empire's boundaries. The empire was grown too large to be shielded from external aggression and internal chaos with existing forces. Thus more of capable men were required to be recruited as soldiers and officers.

When Claudius became the emperor, he felt that married men were more emotionally attached to their families, and thus, will not make good soldiers. So to assure quality soldiers, he banned marriage.Valentine, a bishop , seeing the trauma of young lovers, met them in a secret place, and joined them in the sacrament of matrimony. Claudius learned of this "friend of lovers," and had him arrested. The emperor, impressed with the young priest's dignity and conviction, attempted to convert him to the roman gods, to save him from certain execution. Valentine refused to recognize Roman Gods and even attempted to convert the emperor, knowing the consequences fully.

On February 24, 270, Valentine was executed."From your Valentine"While Valentine was in prison awaiting his fate, he came in contact with his jailor, Asterius. The jailor had a blind daughter. Asterius requested him to heal his daughter. Through his faith he miraculously restored the sight of Asterius' daughter. Just before his execution, he asked for a pen and paper from his jailor, and signed a farewell message to her "From Your Valentine," a phrase that lived ever after.Valentine thus become a Patron Saint, and spiritual overseer of an annual festival. The festival involved young Romans offering women they admired, and wished to court, handwritten greetings of affection on February 14. The greeting cards acquired St.Valentine's name.The Valentine's Day card spread with Christianity, and is now celebrated all over the world. One of the earliest card was sent in 1415 by Charles, duke of Orleans, to his wife while he was a prisoner in the Tower of London. The card is now preserved in the British Museum.
