UNDERSTANDING GOD in first form

Generally when a person is not having enough resources, he starts having confusion and chaos in mind. sometimes he even questions the existence of god and its role in day-to-day life. Believing in him becomes the most difficult task to perform. He relates his belief with superstition or having a fanatic view about him to relate his thought. We all know that not having enough money is curse in life. One can enjoy the good company when there is sufficient food in the stomach. Believing god is mark of faith and truth in life. Life cycles when we do have trust in ourselves. Education is basic need and hunger of human being that is why we all try to get it even sleeps empty stomach. It is the door of learning and knowing experiences.It further opens up new horizons and foresightedness.

Being human we all scare of strange things and till we know it we always fearful.Remember ignorance is bliss for those with shut mind and people who live this are most happier than those who want to learn. It is lethal combination with darkness and superstition. God is the basis of life and where we are alone, god is the key to loneliness, darkness and superstition. We all know that god never  leaves alone and surrender is the alibi to god’s existence. Faith in god does not require any evidence only ultimate surrender is the platform to reach to him. God likes children form of human beings because they are straight, away from chaos, confusion and do not have doubts. They are as simple as god. No complication nor any confusion. An adult mind needs evidence that is why One needs to keep alive the child inside oneself because only that can lead one to his best friend-god.

Always remember that giving is the quality of angels. Remaining tight w/o money and still thinking of giving is the proof of god in a beautiful mind. The god understands and always gives so there is no question of turning down the request by him. The gifts are always precious and must be accepted with grace. It involves love, respect and adoration. Only fools questions the quality of gifts otherwise Krishna even accepts the  peels of bananas and ate it with the hands of Vidur who was emotionally touched by the love of Krishna for self-inviting himself for supper at his house.

God’s presence is normal for believers and illusion for non or demi believers. Even god has to prove himself before them about his identity and god has many things to do so he has left this question to us that whether he exists or otherwise.

Remember only miracles are not the proof of his existence, keeping soul free from fear and confusion is his way of messaging us.

KARNA- The True Warrior

This photo is thankfully downloaded from http://sharmaarunk.blogspot.in/

Now a days I am having nice time sharing Mahabharata stories with my son Orian. He loves to listen them. So every night I have to share 2 stories with him. And when you have to share a story, Mahabharata the largest epic book in universe is best as it has many stories. So one of the story I shared with him was about "Karna" the illegitimate son of Kunti, born from Sun, brought up and named by a charioteer, known as Radhav- on her mother's name- Radha, disciple of Great Saint and Brahmin warrior Guru Parshu Ram famous for taking revenge 21 times from Kings and their united army. Karna has  every thing except a good fate and that’s brought him to his destiny by becoming friend to Prince Duryodhana. One should remember that one shall not take gift from a bad person as it might be trap for him for whole life. So story begins now.....

Once a princess "Kunti"who was beautiful and intelligent as well went to river for bathing and having some good time. There by the grace of god she was blessed with 'vardana' that she could have great sons from the persons she likes. It was a big thing for her so after having blessed with these words she immediately tried this and request SUN to bless her with a son like him. On that she immediately got conceived and gave birth to a sun. The child was shining like Sun and had gold jacket with gold ears rings (Kundala) in his ears. Now Kunti was confused because she could not take him to his palace and who would believe this story. Her reputation would be destroyed and who would marry her as  well. So she kept that child in a basket and free flowed him in the river so that he would be found by someone and taken care of. From there his destiny changed and he reached to a charioteer who found him and brought him to his house and handed over to his wife -Radha.  Radha on seeing him and adopted him as his son and called him Radhav.  Karna was very brave and wanted to become a warrior so he went for learning sword, bow and other weapons but was turned down by all. Finding no other way, he went to Guru Parshu Ram and become his disciple by lied him that he was a Brahmin  as Guru was totally against teaching other communities. He learned really well and become one of favourite of guru. Once Guru was tired and kept his head on the thigh of his disciple-Karna and slept away. Karna took care and did not move his thigh even he was bitten by a small but lethal insect. The bleeding started and by its smell the guru woke up and found that his disciple had been bitten by an insect. He doubted his identity and got angry. On clarification, Karna revealed his true identity. On knowing this   the guru cursed he that whatever he had learned from him would be forgotten at that time when he needed it most. Karna went back to his house and on knowing that the Pandavas (sons of Pandu and Kunti) have returned after completing their education with guru Drona and demonstrating it at a venue. He reached there and challenged Arjuna but on identity it was found that he is not the king's son so his challenge was turn down by Bhishama. Kunti, his real mother was also present and recognised him but could not reveal his true identity. At that time the prince Duryodhana recognised his true strength and made him king of Anga state. Karna took this honour as great asset of his life and this gift had made him slave of Duryodhana. Throughout the life Karna never betrayed him and become part and parcel of all deeds of Duryodhana. So when Dropadi humiliated Duryodhana by calling him the blind son of blind father besides Duryodhana he also took that personally and insulted Dropadi along with Duryodhana. This has created a drift between him and Arjuna. Throughout the life he lived on with one wish to defeat Arjuna in man-to-man war. That made him to wait till Mahabharat war begun. The friendship with Duryodhana made him to stand as a participant in the death of Abhimanyu-son of Arjuna. As Krishna was aware about his skills and knows that he could give Pandavas a close fight so he went to him and told him about his true identity and offered him to abandon the Kurus and to participate from Pandavas'side and as he is eldest in all hence he would become the king after the war. Karna turned down the offer and remained loyal towards Duryodhana. Even his mother Kunti went to him and asked mercy for his sons, he promised that he would not kill anyone except Arjuna so that her five sons would remain as they were. As he was known as a true donor so even Sun's advice and alerting him about visit of Indra in disguise of  Sadhu, he removed his birth gold jacket, ear rings and gold tooth and donated to sage who become so emotional that he blessed him and gifted him "SHAKTI" weapon. During the war he showed braveness and killed Ghatochkaksha-son of Bhima. While in war when the wheel of his chariot stricken in hollow land and despite horses ‘strength the same was not pulled back, he went down to make it moved and while getting down left his bow in the chariot and was killed at that time by Arjuna who was reminded by Krishna about the death of Abhimanyu and role of Karna in it and that angered him and become the reason for the death of Karna.

Throughout the life Karna was never remained negative but the price of living with bad company was paid by him.

That is why I have said that one shall not accept the  gift form bad people, one never knows that what could be the price of that????

Pandavas never came to knew about the true identity of Karna, for them he was always a son of charioteer who was below than their status.

Self Realisation

Arun I have another question for you:)

Why when you try to make somebody happy he is running away even that he likes all that you do?Are such a lot of things that I still don't understand...:((

Human being enjoys being part and parcel of privileged ones.Sometimes in life we all act funny just to pretend. At that times we do such things which we generally do not do nor associated with us.  We become what we are not when we try to remain outside of ourselves. Such things lead us to illusion and blind folded us. When we realise that we can live on w/o such things we act free and act in self importance. At that time such thing becomes a petty issue for us. We take care of such thing which we feel important at our heart. We normally ignore what is existed in normal routine and try to keep in pocket as keeping change. Just think what had happened  and why you had allowed yourself to get hurt.  Remember friends do not hurt and some one who hurts is not the friend…. It is better to take your path and moved to self destiny than to follow some one who is not aware about his own direction. Know your worth, identify yourself. You can be happy with any one / anything if you are happy with yourself. The source is in you. Feel importance, express happiness and gratitude in what ever you are. No one is as perfect as one wants to be. Even God has made this world with lots of all energy and some of them are cited as negative as well so know yourself and live on none other than self.

Live Normal - Live Happily

                              "Live Normal - Live Happily "

Why happiness is only a dream for the ones who are waiting for it with open heart? -asked by my FB friend ....

Happiness is state of mind which comes from unexpected positive results. It has an impact over the people with positive note. It is acceptance of your emotions. It is result get through your emotional  tie-ups. It is a dream can be seen through open eyes and in awaken state. Most of the times things happened in a manner which suits us. It gives a feeling of emotional stability as well as that we are working in right direction. One can be happy externally but sad inner or vice-verse. When we are happy externally and rejoice inner that is the ideal state of happiness but unfortunately it does not happen every time. Sometimes the things worked according to our choice but left us feel disheartened cos at that time we are calculating the sacrifices done for this happiness and prices are seems to be high in accordance with our happiness. In that situation the happiness becomes impossible for sharing or just a dream. We all know that some of the things like celebration, happiness, become double if divided among friends. But an impossible happiness becomes a distant dream with unending waiting. The facts in question deter us to celebrate it and the joy of happiness fades with the passage of time. The open heart accepts everything and questions nothing. It shares everything without thinking twice. It values whatever we have in hand and does not wait for what future holds for us. I believe that we should not wait for things to happen in future life and start enjoying them today at this particular moment. I call it “LIVE NORMAL”.

COFFEE TABLE THOUGHTS

COFFEE TABLE THOUGHTS

 

by Arun Sharma on Monday, January 9, 2012 at 9:50pm

Last evening while sitting in Costa Coffee at University Campus with Orian and Reena, I have realised that being short temper is biggest and worst enemy of life. Love can be ignored for sometime but the anger causes worst loss to life and that may resulted in losing one's gr8est asset of life. The precious things can be lost and some of the things, while one possesses may deserve better than oneself who owns that, might lost because of anger and short sight. May be tomorrow one realises the loss occurred by this foolishness but that can not be reversed as time slips like the sand. Some times some gets what they do not value nor understand.... so my friend be careful with your worst enemy (ANGER) , it may leave you alone and broken.... The tears which do not slip out of eyes are to be taken care of... At least you have some one who cares and weeps silently for you. Do not wear a mask at that time, hold him/her tight, the moment will live forever.... Love will cherish... In the last only Love will live....

December 1, 2011 near New Delhi

Today while sitting in Costa coffee cafe with Reena , situated near DU campus, we were discussing while looking at students that these 3/4 yrs of their life will make an overall impact over their life and its journey. It would decide their fate and karma as well as destination. These yrs will never come back and each moment will explain them their position and stability in their future life. This is a choice, hope they would understand this... Then I analysed my life in nut shell and feel that the education, reading and learning have played an important role in my life. I am thankful to my school/ Institute for educating me otherwise I would have not achieved what I have got...... Thank you God for this...))

A Right Moment

This photo is thankfully downloaded from http://sharmaarunk.blogspot.in/

Spending time with your choice of people is an achievement and mark of success. The choices which we make tell about the state of mind in that scenario. Staying in the world which has different type of shades and people, we are given lessons by many and some of them are very unique in nature and human behaviour. Pain lies in all of us and we are the product of pain caused in phases of life. Some of the pain tells us to let live and forget and some makes us what we today. The source of pain varies and sometimes it is stronger than us thus changes the shapes of our surroundings. Listening is great pleasure as well test of temperament. It creates curiosity in mind and sometimes it is at a degree where it can not be ignored. There is no difference between a sober and boozer rather it is difficult to handle a sober man in long run. Revealing the feelings needs big courage as well as acceptance to your own shortcomings. It is repentance or love but the realisation is such a strong that makes us bearable and welcome. It is easy to share feeling with strangers at least they would not preach nor aware about your shortcomings . :) . The right moment in life if chosen never be existed. Every moment is right and waited upon long enough and woven with golden thread. It may be sorrow or happiness, love or hate, joy or anger reaches to us with new meaning to tell. The right moment for these feelings is the moment when we are ready to accept it and my friend that moment never exists…:)

LIFE PATH

             We all feel in our life that if on that day I had taken the choice which I did not follow I might reach at better than this place where I am now but I feel that whatever was chosen for me is best. And I cannot be at other place except I am at now… life always chooses best for a person.
             Nothing is permanent in this world. We all have an age to live and then merge with something unseen and unknown. This unknown is our true identity and greater part of our soul. The process of transformation and meeting with super soul is untiring journey of self and divine.
             Respecting your choice, decision and ground is respecting yourself. It shows your own trust in self determination of choices we made. Life always chooses best for us and there is no place for repentance. These all tools are like emotions and thoughts – part and parcel of one’s life. While going on life cycle we all think to do the same without realizing that a walk is only enjoyable when we carry the limited stuff with us. If we carry all the emotions i.e. sorrow, pain, agony, anger, revenge, anxiety, etc. with us in larger quantity than we will not able to travel. The gait would be slowed due to above factors. We would try to look for someone to help us and then would blame him/her for our failures. We would not learn the lesson as we would not enjoy the beauty of life at our halting stations. We would be in hurry to complete the journey without evaluating the lesson of life. Later on when we will be back from life and told to share the experiences of life, we would describe the failures occurred due to interference of others. We would mention about the lost and missed experiences. We would curse our creator for giving us a useless life. Life could be easy and better if luggage is limited and easy to carry. Everyone has his own limitations of handling emotions. We should know that and never try to cross that as well otherwise the purpose of journey will be vain.
                 No one is bigger or smaller and nothing can hurt a person unless he himself wants it to be happened. Admitting and rectifying mistakes are qualities of a man and matter of pride so if something is left behind, go back and rectify it before it is too late.
                Respect your heart and it would follow you everywhere. Cherish it with sweet memories, make it happy with laugh and joys and it would look after you as well.
                Some of the tasks are reassigned and to check what have you learned from them. Take them with courage and do it with skill.
It is good to discuss and move forward with your own decisions and motivation. The life is yours and chosen from the menu card by none other than you. Relish its taste and variety.
                Just thinking if difficulties come into our way we tried to change everything that could be reason for it… we would like our life to be full of joys and fun… but how long u can stay in fun park/ discotheque/ dance club ultimately u come to your place where life is simple like a pajamas and T- Shirt because you feel comfortable… life should be in ordinary course of nature having all tastes that make sense to our existence… even god when lived like humans had all sorrows and pains to comprehend human nature n life…. they lived like that just to assure us that even human can reach and understand true sense of one being….. Seeing is not sufficient to comprehend,  we must feel it…… that is the true essence of life….. The real truth…. simple one….
Life is a mirror, the way we see the way it shows. Tell yourself you are beautiful than all the music play with great sound. Love yourself, be with yourself and you will never feel alone.

              In the last i would like recite the prayer to my God: O my guide, You know…The place where I will receive peace is main sea of high tides…..But I am looking a friend who will help me to get stable in high tides of sea , That person will be my true friend…O my guide , Help me to find such a friend (YOU) , That I am looking for..
