Am I running out of time?

What bothers you and why?

Kongdori meadows gulmarg

Don’t know why it feels more than before , am I running out of time?

When you were a kid you hardly cared about time. You were engrossed in something or in some thoughts that you hardly felt anything passing. Time ran so slow that it felt like you have the power to dictate time.

Then you  started growing and slowly it seemed that the time was running quickly and has almost surpassed you.

And Now, you are far behind it and slowly losing hope of ever going to catch up with it. Maybe there is a scientific theory behind this feeling but surely all our worries, all are disappointments have a great deal of time’ s involvement.

What I think I can do to tackle this feeling is to keep myself busy in one or the other thing. This will surely stop me from worrying about the past or future and keep me in the ‘Now’

It’s difficult to be consistent with this, but you have nothing else but this to save yourself .

Calmness

Manali

Calmness is not a weakness but a  superpower to stay strong in the toughest of conditions. It makes you think clearly amidst a cacophony of noises and react in the most effective way.

Calmness gives you strength in the moments of disaster and grief. It gives you control over your heart and mind ,and prevents you from reacting in an erratic manner.

So cultivate this habit of pausing before reacting and detaching yourself from all the disturbing noises of the world.

Future – A product of ‘Now’

What are you most excited about for the future?

Buran ghati

A Future is nothing without the Present.

Our minds are coded and programmed by society in a way that we always hope for a bright future, without doing anything substantial in the present.

In fact there is no future if we don’t sow its seeds in the “Now”. It’s like growing a plant by sowing a seed ,watering and taking care of it every single day. Then hoping for the outcome.

Hope resides in the coming ‘Now’ . If you have done your part in the present then you can expect everything bright to follow. I am always excited to face the fruit of my hardwork though I don’t hope much as I haven’t always got the desired result.

Contentment is my only solace where I take a deep breath and say to myself, ” maybe one day”.

Facing negativity

Worries pushes you deeper,
In the whirlpool of anxiety,
Forces you to panic,
Until you lose your mind!

Things that has no presence,
It is only feeding your mind,
What’s the point of those worries,
When they may not even arise!

Let these moments come,
Close your eyes and wait,
Let them come to you, inhale
And exhale them without a trace!

When panic hits you,
And you get lost with anxiety,
Remember to slow down and feel
The moment that shines on Now.

Stillness of Now

Mind dictates false self ,
Infuse sufferings of past.
You are not your mind

Trapped in past-future,
Life blooms in stillness of Now,
A journey within



Mind is programmed to make a mental image of everything as per it’s needs. It needs time especially past and future to dwell , in fact to avoid everything which exists Now (present) it has created illusion of past and future.


We can feel this in our daily lives , we either curse our past or crave for a better future when we allow our mind to dominate. This is how our mind creates a false image of ourselves and everything around.


We are not what our mind says. Our true identity lies beyond our mind, it lies deep within in our consciousness,in the stillness which exists only in the present moment.


So without thinking too much , just feel life the way it is, in this moment, in the stillness of Now. You will find your true self.

Your inner Battle

Your inner skirmish
Struggle against fears
Your crippling courage
Your Fight to wash blemish
May not see victory
May not witness light
But to flow with the cosmos
Is what made life.
So flow with wind
With your head
Held high
Ecstasy is the adventure
On the rough
Road of life

What is Patriotism?

Patriotism is the devotion
Of the soldier in the front
Patriotism is the integrity
Of the citizens upfront.

Patriotism seeps through
An honest hardworking man
Patriotism is the respect
For every human

Patriotism is the devotion
Towards your people and nation
Patriotism unites generation
It is the fight against discrimination

Building Life

Accepting Life
Embracing materialism
Spirit builds life
Brick by Brick.

Acquiring skills
Learning the art
Soul weaves life
Brick by brick.

Shaping the world
Guiding the light
Building the world
Brick by brick.

Awaiting the end
Contented with glory
Spirit leaves body
Brick by brick.

A Comedy

I woke one day
Got ready for the play
It was a day of exam,
for which I studied,
Spelling Chanakya’s chant.
Father said, keep your mind cool,
I said to my fingers, save me today,
You wisest fool!
When I finally saw the paper,
My worries started growing, skyscraper!
I tried to think, I tried to sail,
But soon I became,
From alpha to beta male.
I was surrounded by darkest sunshine
But my worries, still refused to decline.
The paper was clearly, misunderstood.
But my fingers said, I could.
Somehow I manage
To finish the paper.
But It was the work of my fingers,
And only work of my maker

Later that evening,
I strummed my guitar,
And my fingers moved
Like a smooth car.

Life is like a bitter truth
You do something crazy, Something good.
In the morning
I was like a living dead,
Later with my guitar,
My fingers played with my divine head.

A Letter To My Reader

Hello Friend, Life sometimes become very difficult to lead. When you are happy and things are going in your way, you want to enjoy every moment of it and you don’t want that moment to pass. But my dear friend, happiness is a very rare commodity which do not last eternally. Bad time will also come and will shake you from the inside very badly but you are not suppose to give up. One of the greatest Roman philosopher, Cicero had rightly said, “Whoever is brave is a man of great soul”. You should follow his words, you should learn from the words of greats, you should learn from the nature, the earth and the sky. You should be like water in difficult times and flow like a river on rough, and difficult path very smoothly. Like water, transform yourself into ice in extreme cold and in extreme summer, transform yourself into vapor to reach the sky and come back on earth in the form of rain to slake the thirst of livings. In short, you should learn to mould yourself according to the difficult situations like water and face every difficult situation with courage. You should learn to become tough like earth who had seen the worst days of her life, from being a ball of fire to a ball of ice but she never complained about that and at the same time she sacrificed every day to see you alive. My dear friend life is very short , do not panic in difficult times, face every difficulty with courage. Life is like a war and you are suppose to fight it till the end , till your last breath. So be a Warrior! “How well he fell asleep! Like some proud river, widening towards the sea, Calmly and grandly, silently and deep, Life joined eternity.” -Samuel .T. Coleridge with love and support, piyush
