Others and us

Sometimes it feels like
We know others better
Than we know ourselves
And it feels true
And it is true too
In today’s world
We’re bombarded with so much information
We try to apply it all
Our knowledge about others
And we feel pride
That we know and sometimes
We judge others too
Not realizing
That if we would apply the same
On to ourselves
We would have become a more better person
A more understanding person
And this would lead us to more happiness
Because we would know how and what to tune in ourselves
To link to the channel of happiness
Now that we know more about others
We decide frequently
To try to find someone new
To know
To understand
And hence we keep on hoping from person to person
What would be ideal is?
Knowing thyself
Believing in us
And trying to talk
Trying to communicate
And express
And live a life of abundance

Mothers, prayers, and what not

I have seen my mother pray
Pray with full dedication
As if nothing else exists
As if nothing else matters
She prays for everyone
Maybe except for herself
Sometimes she cries
Something has to be bothering her
She doesn’t want to share it with us

Today, I was at a church in Kanyakumari
On my path to self-discovery
Reading The pilgrimage by Paulo Coelho there
And penning down some of my thoughts
I heard some sobs and crying
On looking, I saw a mother
Praying to Jesus
Asking for some fortunate events maybe
While her two kids were sleeping on the floor
Tears running down her cheeks
With a religious book in her hand
With thousands of thoughts in her mind
Of the imminent future
And the testing present

And then she calmed down
Bowed in front of Him
And kissed the kids
Woke them up and off they went

Maybe, my mother cries for the same reason while praying
For her kids, her family
Seldom for herself
And now what makes me cry
Is that my mother cries for others
And so does her son.

Amen!

P.S.: Happy 2020, fellas! 😛 How are you all? Today’s song pick is Khud se by Osho Jain.

Others are important

Do you think

That others are important?

Are we important?

Am I important?

And important how?

And important why?

I cannot motivate myself

I definitely cannot motivate you

How am I going to motivate others?

It’s all a sham!

All bullshit and rubbish

The world doesn’t work like this

The world works? I doubt!

It’s all myth!

The happiness, the sadness, the truth

Only pain is true

We’re here for suffering

All suffer we will

So, when we’re suffering

Instead of WHY ME?

Look around and try to

See the disable people

The poor

The unfortunate

The fools

The lost

And feel  that you’re doing OKAY

You’re not doing AWESOME

You never will

But sometimes DOING OKAY is AWESOME

And maybe

Just maybe

Help those others

And this is how it is

Seek inspiration from others

And give it back

Hence it proves

I am important

You’re important

Others are important

We all are!

Feel important!

P.S.: Just because I don’t like to talk much or love to be with myself or respond to the comments late doesn’t mean I don’t like humans or my life is not going well. I am all fine and I am listening to good, new songs. Latest is Late Goodbye by Poets of the Fall.

Actually, I had made a video on “OTHERS” in July 2016(I am awesome!) and it’s here.

Importance of others:

Not in my control..

If another guy

Loves the Gurl

I love

Shall I fight with him?

Shall I try to beat the hell out of him?

Why should I?

How can I?

I know doing that

Will make the Gurl

Like me more

Love me more

But I also have to

See the fact

That the Gurl

Is so awesome

So wonderful

That guys can’t stop themselves

From falling for her

And I can’t blame them

But that doesn’t mean

All like and love her

There may be lust

Or other devilish things

In their minds also

But to make the Gurl

Like and love me

I have to increase my love

For her

Many times a fold

That can’t be done

By controlling others

Sorry, I can’t

But I can’t blame any

I don’t own the Gurl

And the Gurl is simply

Awesome

I am not able to make sense also

Of what I am writing

So let me STOP

Writing only

Because falling for her

Was not in my control..

Others matters..

Pray.

Kneel down.

Not because others do.

Not because others say.

But because we believe.

We believe in Him.

If not Him, then on a higher power.

On something bigger than humans.

On some miraculously magical energy.

Trust it.

Pray for it’s increased strength

Because we derive our strength from it.

Pray for it’s increased energy

Because we derive our energy from it.

Pray with a bigger heart.

Pray not only for ourselves

But also for others.

Because we are included in others.

He will not search for us

While showering His blessings.

He will sprinkle it on us.

On all of us.

The more we pray for all.

The more He sprinkles.

The more we get.

The more you get.

The more I get.

Don’t be selfish.

Or else you will be

Standing with an umbrella

Thinking the sprinkle as dust

Or a mild hail storm

And get naught.

While others around you

Will be celebrating.

So think of others also.

Not before yourself.

But think about them.

Others matters.

May be not to you.

But to Him.

To higher energy.

And you will be blessed accordingly.
