CONVERSING WITH MY LORD

Deny me a place in paradise
I have no complaints
I accept my little merit
But a place in my beloved's heart
That one day I can stand before you
With my head held high.

REVELATION 2.3

We often do not have much say on what may befall on us. Nevertheless we have little more leeway in how we are going to react to it.

REVELATION 2.2

Standing where I am today and looking back....I am surprised by my own insignificance in the shaping of me. I was just one among the multitude of factors. Likewise I will ever be......

REFLECTIONS

-- One who hates an individual probably has not understood what a human being actually is. Not to forget hate is anyway subtly self destructive.--

-- One of the reasons for our ingratitude to life is our limited exposure to it.--

--He who gets stuck with the mortals misses the divine--

--Nothing is more rewarding than hardships if we can steadfastly endure it--

--Delusions are often more real than the real.--

--It ain't about the result...It is all about whether you faced it with all your might...head to head...eyes to eyes....and fought till you collapsed. If yes your victory is only a mater of time.
Later....the grander.....--

On the shoulders of GIANTS

"What do you care what other people think?" asked Feynman. Once these 'others' were asked to choose between Barabbas and Jesus. And they chose Barabbas ! Summarizing Feynman had a point ! Jesus elaborated it in his immortal final words "Forgive them my father..They know not what they do..."

REVELATION 2.1

Reality by all means should be grander, profound and beautiful than my fickle, limited imaginations
rooted in infantile wishes and expectations. The only thing is that I should develop the strength to realize it.

On the shoulders of GIANTS

Albert Einstein used to ask " Am I or the others crazy?". Not only a genius, anyone who is striving to be true to oneself and true to life will face this question at some point. May be that is why
Swami Vivekananda urged the youth to remain firmly stationed in what they believe is truth, even if the whole world stands against, that too with swords in their hands.

The Frog with the Inflated Head

Oh! my fickle, limited imaginations
Vain infantile expectations
Blind to the beauty of reality
The little 'I' with the inflated head
In the well of the fable of Aesop
Sits here and sobs to my own misery
Oh lord, waiting for your mercy

REVELATION 2.0

Looking back everything seems miraculous
Looking ahead I feel unfathomed exuberance
In a tiny little drop of insignificance
Concealed is a universe of heavenly glories.
