Sometimes a sort of pain arises within without any reason. I feel like knowing if everything is fine and wish for the same. But, do I know who is this? No. Sai, please help the ones in need. Whether I know or don't know doesn't matter, let peace and happiness prevail with enough strength to overcome the unwanted happenings.

Life takes its turns. It's up to us to decide which turn to take. If we leave it, situations will handle us and give the most embarrassing moments. Firstly, remember that this is your life and trust your instincts. Decide on what you want in your life. Have a clear picture. Then the rest will be taken care.
Never burden yourself thinking about the consequences of the current situation. This 'thinking' can only add more pain and problems. If any, it can be handled well at that moment. So leave it for now and be happy for what you have and are. Be in the present, then life becomes beautiful.

Shirdi Sai says: “Harsh words cannot pierce your body. If anybody speaks ill of you, just continue on unperturbed.”
==> Know the reason behind and move accordingly. Be strong.
Lord Krishna said: "While speaking learned words, you are mourning for what is not worthy of grief. Those who are wise lament neither for the living nor the dead."
==> True. Need to move forward in life.
Sadhguru says: "Your ideas need not have anything to do with reality. Making conclusions is a sure way of not enhancing our perception."
==> Need to allow seeing things the way they are by not drawing conclusions/setting up boundaries. Only then progress happens.
Thank You...

This is the only song which makes me feel ashamed of not learning Tamil properly. I wish someone gives the translation for such beautiful lyrics soon. "Naane naanillayeee...." is the line which always creates a sort of pleasantness within me... I do understand, but again I don't... Now, I think of how Radha used to feel for Krishna, while listening. :)
How beautiful, isn't it?... Hmm, many thoughts....

"The longer we dwell on our misfortunes, the greater is their power to harm us"
- Unknown
How true... The more the thought given, the more it bombards. At that moment, diverting our mind to some activity/ making ourselves busy helps. It's tough, but that's how it works. Escapism can be termed by many. But, the one who faces the worst knows the best. And after all, every human's ultimate desire is to have a happy life. We engage ourselves in every outward activity(entertainment, travel, chats, work, ...). We search for joy in our every interest. But, does this truly help? We can feel that void still left, and that too, when the miseries keep coming. We can definitely feel that imbalance within. We'll again start looking for happiness outside and that process repeats. If, we really want true happiness, we must look into ourselves. That's where meditation/yoga comes into picture. I won't say that everything becomes rosy in a day, but I can guarantee that there will be some change within us which will help us move forward in life with a positive note. It will give us that inner strength which we require. This happens when we go to temples / mosques / church. It helps us to come out of our fears. And yes, prayers do help. But this is again another way other than meditation. Ultimately, however, our life will guide us towards the same and that is, we know, it's meditation. If we wish to sit for long hours, yoga helps... All the best!!! Will be wishing everyone to lead a happy and a prosperous life. Peace to All!!!
