सुंदर हे मन......

सुंदर हे मन, जपा त्याला प्रत्येक क्षण,
भटकू देऊ नका त्याला असे बेभान.
जगात ह्या येताच मन असतं अगदी अबोल, शुद्ध, निर्मळ आणि समृद्ध,
पण काही काळातच नकळत हे मन होतं विशुद्ध.
जपा ह्या मनाला फुलपाखरूसारखं,
भटकू देऊ नका त्याला ह्या जगातल्या भेसळ रंगांमध्ये हरवल्यासारखं.
मोती समान दुर्मिळ मन ते,
होऊ देऊ नका त्याला दग्दासमान जे सापडे इकडे तिकडे.
जगातले सर्व अनुभव घेऊ द्या त्या मनाला,
सुख दुख झेलायची सवय होईल मग त्याला.
मनाला कमी लेखू नका कधीही,
पण जे दिसतं तसं नसतं हे लक्षात ठेवा ह्या मनात नेहमी.

सुंदर हे मन, जपा त्याला प्रत्येक क्षण,
भटकू देऊ नका त्याला असे बेभान.

The Power lies within.....

Just a few days back there was a nice thought thought shared by a friend with me : An old Hindu legend says there was a time when men were gods. But they abused their divine powers so much that Brahma, the master of all gods, decided to take these powers away and hide them in a place where they would be impossible to find. All that remained was to find a suitable hiding place. A number of lesser gods were appointed to a council to deal with the issue. They suggested this: “Why not bury man's powers in the earth?” To which Brahma replied, “ No, that will not do because man would dig deep and find it.” So the gods said, “In that case, we will send their divinity to the deepest depths of the ocean.” But Brahma replied again, “Sooner or later man will explore the depths of the ocean and it is certain he will find it and bring it to the surface.” So the lesser gods concluded, “Neither land nor sea is a place where man's divine powers will be safe, so we do not know where...

What's Commitment!!

Commitment!!! The most dreaded word of all....Be it for any purpose, be it relationship, work, studies, pay your dues, etc...What exactly does it mean to commit? Does it mean to make a promise? Does it mean you are obliged to someone or something? Or is it that you are responsible for your commitment you make? What exactly does it mean? Yes, all the above mean the same, but then why is it such a scaring fact to commit? When you take a loan from a bank, a friend or any money lender you commit to pay back the amount in a stipulated time period upon a pre-decided agreement and you struggle and try your best to pay back. When you are studying you commit to achieve a particular grade at a particular stage and you struggle for it. When you are at work you are paid for a particular job, and you are committed or atleast expected to be committed to your work and so you try to prove yourself and achieve your set targets. When you have a family you are committed to every particular individual in ...

Developing India! Is it really?

After a long time, I got some food for thought post a conversation with an age-old uncle who wailed like his fellow allies against the cacophony during Ganpati visarjan to rising inflation, corruption, current generation, importance of money over relations etc. To some extent I couldn’t agree more to his crux of the conversation. So pen down my thoughts here. “Arey chalo aage! Utro utro!” (Move ahead, get down get down) are some famous words we hear every day in our lives or rather live with them. Every single day in Mumbai is a struggle and is moving at a super fast pace. Routine life for a working employee is; wake up in the morning, complete morning chores, leave for work (or to put in a better way - run for work) reach work, strive hard, rush back home, have dinner and sleep for another day repeating the entire routine. Most of you readers would agree with this and few defy it. But still this is the life of a Mumbaikar amongst majority. Everything is ha...
