Life is Unpredictable

Is your life today what you pictured a year ago?

Expectations are the biggest enemy of humankind. Whether you expect from your loved ones or from yourself, your wishes hardly come true. It’s like a cage you want to put on yourself or on others to get the desired outcome.

But life always gives you surprises. It doesn’t run according to you. You can see dreams, work hard for it but it is not necessary that it will come true. Disappointments are the result of expectations.

You should follow your path of karma religiously but you should never worry about the result. Let the future comes the way it is. Let life take you where it wants to. Give it scope to show you its colours. Mind you it always has something good for you.

I always have resolutions for the upcoming year, I am able to follow some of them but I never expect anything from the future. I Just try to live the moment that is passing now.

Let’s make our ‘Now’ as beautiful as possible and these moments in the present will surely make our future bright.

Understanding Free Will

Many believe that our paths are laid out long before we are born and continue to another after we perish. Is it true that our lives are predetermined? Is it right to say that we are puppets of a higher order? In the world of Artificial Intelligence and robotics, the brain is coded to perform […]

Understanding Free Will

Another year Another fight

Happy New year

Life seeping down
the abyss so quickly.
Another year passed
and you hardly noticed it.
The places you go,
the moments you cherish,
the memories you make ,
all become figments
of a distant past.
There’s so much to explore
before you close your eyes .


Another year, another fight,
struggles, fear and
everything in between.
Once more
dare to move forward.
Let’s go….

Sometimes It’s good to Give Up

singhpiyush60894 Comments

Throughout our lives we cling onto something, waiting for that thing to give us happiness, success, or something pleasant in return.


But what we get in return? Nothing, disappointment, sadness. Maybe expectations drive us, it pushes us towards our goals, we try hard to achieve that, but in spite of so many efforts we are left with nothing.


Then comes a point of disappointment, grief, frustration because we are still attached with that goal or expectation . This is where we are harming our selves, losing the essence of our lives, we lose our happiness.

This is where we have to give up on those hopes and seek contentment.
The biggest thing in life is to understand the right time to give up on something. When it’s really needed to find our true purpose, to find true meaning of life.

Persevering , until we get exhausted and finally find contentment in our efforts.
Relationships , goals , success, money all stay here when we finally say goodbye. So why so much fuss for the attachments we live with. Give up on all those things that disturbs our stay here in this life.


Maybe this is a new beginning for that….

The Sacrifice of Stars

singhpiyush60898 Comments

There is no meaning of cosmos if there is no life.


In the beginning there was only darkness in the universe and then the first generation of stars were born. They died creating first seeds of life, the elements that created us.


Our Star, Sun belongs to the later generation of stars. It made us , it created an Eden for us in the form of Earth so that we can thrive but look what we are doing now.


We don’t own this world and our greed for power has made us blind. The sacrifice of our Gods (stars) mean nothing to us and gratefulness has lost its worth.


Are we going to create order in this universe or just become another chaos of this already chaotic universe?


Is the meaning of the cosmos, the life which it created through so much of pain, would fade away in vain just like the last blip of a star?


No, this is not the way it should be. It took thousands of years for a complex machine like us to emerge out of oblivion. There is a purpose for humans for whom this universe waited for so long.


We have to realise that purpose, a greater cause to fulfil our role in the great scheme of the universe. Humans have a responsibility, some of us would go wrong , would choose the wrong path but then it would be the responsibility of others to correct them.


We gave birth to love, we created empathy, we know the power of compassion, the ingredients of order in this world. The world needs it right now, the universe expect it from us.


Let us try then….

Where is his Heaven?

singhpiyush608911 Comments

There’s a drought of hope,
And only sufferings bloom ,
With the blood of the innocents,
In the middle of the war!


A soldier lifts his bruised head,
From the rubble of his land,
Which was once a paradise,
Now a barren land of chaos.

His dreams soaked in tears,
His sufferings healed with smoke,
He limps for his motherland,
He lives and fight for his motherland.

Where is his heaven?

Maybe, deep inside his soul
Reside the love of his people,
Though his body walk on embers,
But his soul Is already in paradise!

Lord Shiva and his Third Eye

If you see some pictures of Lord Shiva ,there is a third eye on his forehead which is mostly half closed. This third eye is highly symbolic.


According to Hindu mythology, Lord Shiva is the God of destruction, he is also the Beginning of Creation. In fact, his ‘Tandav’ dance symbolises cosmic dance of the universe, which is the cycle of creation , preservation and Destruction.


Whenever corruption and sins go out of proportion in the universe, Lord Shiva opens his third eye to destroy them and bring balance or order in this world. There are various interpretations about it.


One such theory is that , since Lord Shiva is Yogi his third eye symbolises inner eye or spiritual eye which see the world beyond the material world.


When our two eyes become blind or get lost in the gloom and corruption of the material world then we have to try to see through our inner eye which is obviously difficult.


While our two physical eyes see the world and get lost in the illusion of past and future, our inner eye exist in the eternal ‘Now’ and helps us to know the real meaning of our existence.


This inner vision is a practice, a kind of meditation which enables us to live in the present which is devoid of any negativity of past and future. It calms us , give us peace and help us to see the physical world with a broader perspective.


Today is Mahashivratri, the great night of the lord Shiva. It is the night of unison of Shiva and Shakti (union of Universe’s Dark Matter and energy)– the embodiment of love, power, and oneness. May this occasion opens the inner eye of this already troubled world and brings happiness and peace in this world.

The Wars We Fight

singhpiyush608916 Comments

When Ego become eyes,
And the heart loses sight,
Then blood loses its worth
And is spilled with hate on earth

The brothers who fight wars,
And the fathers who lost all,
Become memories etched with tears,
That soaked in sacrifice and prayers.

The men who fight wars,
Never deserve to fight at all
They fight and die for love,
In the wars forced by their lords!

Mighty eye of the Karma,
Watching and weighing their sins,
Innocents will attain salvation,
While criminals would see their end!

Reasons We Live For

singhpiyush608912 Comments

Beauty of nature stops alluring him, money becomes useless to him, pleasures of every sort feel like a curse to him, do you know why? Because he has only few days to live, he is suffering from a rare disease, he doesn’t want to wait to suffer more, he wants to die right now.


But wait, something stops him , he is hit by a magical charm . He can see those brown eyes , that shined like pebbles touched by divine hands. Those eyes chasing the flight of a bird who wants to fly high, those eyes chasing dream and is now watching at him. His little child, his life that will continue to thrive even after his death.


And so he has to live for his kid, his beloved, his people who love him, who depend on him , who are his only solace in his world of sufferings, the reasons he should live for. He has to prepare them , giving them wings ,so that when his time will come they would be ready to live without him .


Life continues to wander in confusion until sufferings come and the reasons become clear.


All the material things which we achieve or aspire to achieve give nothing but momentary joy that vanishes as soon as we face the real test of life, sufferings, failures, losses.

Life on your terms

singhpiyush60899 Comments

Hopelessness is the biggest enemy of an individual. His sufferings may be tremendous in the current moment but it depends completely on his choice, his freedom, to show a positive or negative attitude towards it. And no one can take away that power from him.


Question is how strong we are to face difficult times?


Life doesn’t make sense when we become numb to everything happening around us, especially negative events. There is a deeper meaning in our sufferings, without it , we can never know the real worth of happy times.


Happiness can truly be felt after a long night of struggle and pain.


Seeing the positive side of every situation, is an art which is really the art of living. It’s extremely difficult to become perfect in this art, in fact there is no such thing as perfection. It is something we learn throughout our lives.

Finding inspiration from every tough situation, searching for happiness in small moments during difficult times, learning from failures, are all we can try to do to carry on.

It is upto us to fight or to give up when something hits us, it is upto to us to curse our fate or find peace or contentment in our failures, it is upto us to live life on our terms.
Surely , it is completely our choice to stay happy or sad no matter what the situation is.
