Are you resisting your dreams?

Do not resist your dreams.
Let life flow with blood 
on concrete floor of reality
to an open space called freedom,
even if
your body is melting like butter on a hot day.
Preserve your freedom,
do not resist your dreams.

Do not resist your dreams.
Let the sunshine of wisdom
reach the darkest spot within you
through the slit
cut at the throat of your experience
even if
your hands are tied,
legs shackled, vision blurred.
Nurture thoughts that make you unique,
do not resist your dreams.

Do not resist your dreams.
Let your spirit rise
competing with high tides of the sea
to touch the faraway moon
even if
you have only moon's reflection
on your quivering breast,
framed with molten passion.
Love and be loved,
do not resist your dreams.

    Perfectly right.
    Do not resist your dreams.
    Dream is like a sweet flower,
    The fragrance takes you to miles
    in the path of life,
    and completes the circle.....!

Have you achieved freedom?

Freedom is not doing whatever you want to do anytime. Freedom is being able to do anytime what you love to do. Whatever you want to do may bring you temporary happiness, but not long lasting peace. Whatever you love to do always brings you peace. Once you know what you love to do and can put your full focus into it, it will bring you both peace and prosperity. Then you will not be troubled by either guilt of underachievement or worry of uncertain future. That makes you free of the limitations of your circumstances. When every individual achieves this freedom, the society and the world will be automatically peaceful and prosperous where nobody competes with others, but only compete with one’s yesterday self. The greatest illusion in life is to think that our freedom depends on other people and objects in our surrounding. The point I am making is: our freedom lies in our mind. Therefore, degree of our freedom depends directly on the level of our consciousness. Elevation of con...

How to benefit from fear of death?

Image
At a certain point in life, almost all people are afraid of death. That point in life is an experience or a realisation which makes death appear less abstract and more personal . It is more common to have this fear in midlife when one realises that the number of birthdays left is less than the number of birthdays passed. Fear of death can be crippling unless one knows how to benefit from it by using that fear constructively . The following quote by Mark Twain captures the essence of how to do so. The idea is to use fear of death as a motivation to live life to the fullest. Since one does not know when death can strike, one can start every day by feeling thankful to be alive than taking life for granted. It helps to do so when one realises that millions of people around the world do not make it to a new day! Fear of death can make one truly grateful to life and everything in it. Once one realises how every new day is a gift from life, one can do one's best to live every sin...

Can successful people be unhappy?

Image
Most people think success will make them happy, but we come across lots of people who are unhappy despite being highly successful. What makes successful people unhappy? This is a complex question, and can’t be answered in a brief note. Moreover, while trying to give a simple answer one runs the risk of being simplistic . I discuss below three main characteristics of all happy people. Whenever we ignore these traits in our mad rush for success, we end up being unhappy because essentially we are going fast nowhere ! 1.    Learn to live Good health is the solid foundation on which the mansion of happiness stands. This fact hits most people hard soon after they reach 40 years when they get glimpses of the mortality of their body. Good health does not mean mere absence of diseases; it means presence of abundant energy to live life to the fullest. Happy people have lots of physical energy, and they take extreme care of body and mind to maintain this high energy le...
