Anger & Love ...

When a person is angry he shouts.Have you ever wondered why?
It is because he has thrown the other person so far away from his heart that he needs to shout even when that person is standing next to him.
But in love don't we just whisper?
This is because that person is very close to our heart.And when we become one even whisper is not necessary.Only eyes talk then :).

    very true.. this reminds me of a statement once made by u in class "Necessity of whispering or yelling in a relationship depends upon mental distance n not physical distance.. "

The Ultimate Revelation

The Brihadaranyaka Upanishad [Verse 2-4-5] says, “atmanastu kamaya sarvam priyam bhavati” meaning it is only for sake of the self alone that all is loved. The verse says verbatim that no husband, wife, father, mother, son, loves the other for the sake of that persons happiness. All love for their own happiness only. Only a Self-Realised or God-Realised person can love selflessly for the sake of the other’s happiness. Thus, we love the other only since we get some happiness from them – physically, emotionally, and materially. Our self-interest is getting fulfilled at some level. Ofcourse, we may not want to agree with this position as we feel that our love is unselfish and that we have done so much for our loved ones without expecting any return. If that be so, why do we feel let down or suffer when our loved ones betray us or forget what we have done for them? Because our selfless love did have an ounce of selfishness and self-interest. The above spiritual revelation is not for us ...

Happiness Quotient

A Chinese Proverb says, “if you want happiness  For some moments = indulge in any sense-pleasure For an hour = take a nap or a walk  For a day = go for a picnic For a month = get married (debatable)  For a year = inherit a fortune (that is, in one year you must have spent it)  For a decade = get divorced (Well, Well, I added this one to make my married friends imagine happiness) For a lifetime = give, give, give (love, care, help, time, patience, smile, tears to others in need of them.) For eternity = know who you really are from the one who knows who he is not." Now, we must ask ourselves, which happiness we want. We are all happy today since everything is in place as per our wish and want (house, wife, child, health, job, bank balance, knees, heart, liver, kidneys, lungs, the list is endless and subjective). Just imagine that one of the factors in this list is taken away. Now what happens to our “Happiness Quotient” is a true indicator of how happy we really are. L...

Mere Sapno ki Rani

I was a Sydenhamite and rejoined the college as a lecturer after completing C.A. Those were the golden years of the college. Being interested in music/singing, I also took active interest in Sydenham’s Performing Arts Society. The very first song I sang for a Sydenham fest then was “Mere sapno ki Rani kab aayegi tu.” During the same period I also got introduced to spirituality. I heard many spiritual masters and met my Guru Haribhai Kothari. And through them, I learnt my first lesson in Love. Till then I was under a delusion that I knew what it is, and anyways how many of us ever think that we need to learn what love is. I learnt that ‘Love’ is different from ‘Like’.  We always feel that we can love only what we like. But love includes adepting/identifying with what we dislike in others. I learnt that we (as eternal souls) have 3 bodies - a. Gross physical body, b. Subtle body (mind, thoughts, emotions, feelings), c. Causal body (our basic nature, samskars, deep – rooted condit...
