A conversation with God - 2
Tuesday, February 24, 2009 - Posted by jack - 18 comments

Me: I don’t know what to do now?

God: that’s good, first realization of a true warrior is ‘not knowing’

Me: why am I crying, it’s embarrassing

God: emotions are good; they are natural like passing weather

Me: why it happens to me every time, what do you do when you cannot do what is so important to you

God: because I know you are a warrior, everything has a purpose son, even if you are in bad condition and its up to you to find out

Me: what should I do?

God: you should continue to do what you love doing, that’s what your purpose in life is

Me: After all this failures how do you expect me to continue?

God: A warrior doesn’t give up what he loves; he finds the love in what he does

Me: look at me, and my life is in total chaos

God: the chaos is the true learning; life is all about choice you can choose to be a victim or anything else you wish to be

Me: Should i just ignore what has happened to me?

God: A warrior acts only fool reacts

Me: what if I can’t make it?

God: that’s the future, throw it out, and don’t waste time on assumptions

Me: where should I start?

God: there’s no starting or stopping only doing

Me: this is what I always had been doing, see where has it lead me to, I have nothing that I wanted

God: that’s the tragedy of whole mankind, you suffer when you don’t get what you want, but even if you get it, you still suffer because you cannot hold on to it for ever

Me: So this means when I follow my dreams I am destined to suffer.

God: do what you love doing you will never suffer

Me: that is what I love doing, following my dreams no matter what

God: than accept it that what you are following you may or may not get it

Me: but that is what I want, that is the purpose of my life and I can’t afford to lose it

God: you call this purpose of your life, leaving in constant fear of not reaching somewhere, leaving in constant fear that you might lose something

Me: than what should be the purpose of this life

God: Purpose of this life is to do what you love doing, live each moment give hundred percent in whatever you do, every moment is precious, and everything has a purpose

Me: than is dreaming wrong?

God: no it isn’t but judging yourself on basis of that dream is wrong, a dream is just a destination, when you reach there you would have nothing to do;
When you run after your dreams, you never know what you going to find there, you would be happy while you chasing your dreams, eventually you would realize that although I have reached my destination I am not satisfied, I am not happy

Always remember, its journey that brings happiness not the destination

Life is a journey, dreams are just milestones, if you miss one you would find another but if you do what you love doing, no matter if you reach your destination or not, you will make that journey called ‘life’ fruitful and you would always be happy

So get up, cheer up and just do what you love doing you would always be happy

Foolish Flower.....
Wednesday, February 18, 2009 - Posted by jack - 27 comments



Fresh and bright, unknown to pain
Bloomed one flower, behind the country lane.
With petals of gold and spots of red
It was the prettiest thing on the flower bed.

It had old friends, who had seen it grow
Who were there to care and who loved it so.
Wind swayed the leaves and butterflies played around
A big tree bestowed shade, birds had a pleasant sound.

One fine day it was in full bloom, it admired itself all smiles
"My beauty is so eternal, no one can compare for miles.
The birds sing for me, I am a gem, the tree believes
The butterflies are full of awe, and my crowning glory, the leaves."

Other flowers whispered to it, it pretended not to hear
It didnt even nod at the little girl, who admiringly came near.
It threw its weight around, and insulted the wind so strong
It said the leaves had withered, it scorned the birds' song.

Being friends, they endured, till they could take it no more
They went to Mother Nature, and their troubles began to pour.
She smiled to herself and said "The foolish thing is too proud
I will end its bloom too soon, a lesson quite clear and loud."

The next morning it awoke, all set for another beautiful day
But something was wrong, it thought, its petals could no more sway.
The colours seemed dull, the gold and red so light
It couldnt lift its head up, the sun seemed much too bright.



The big tree said "You've dried up flower, ended has your bloom time Nothing is forever foolish one, remember these words of mine.
Beauty is a vision, which doesn't reach the soul
What matters is character, and values which make one whole.

The butterflies will still play, the leaves will still sway
The birds' sing already, and spring is on its way.
If you desire undying love, show us what you are worth
Dont live in illusions of beauty, accept defeat with mirth."

The flower hung its head in shame, it had realized its mistake
It observed the joyous flowers, and slowly accepted its fate.




Faces of life
Thursday, January 22, 2009 - Posted by jack - 14 comments
Today i observed three very different faces of life, I passed by a man and his son, a toddler was held safely in his father's arms. His face was filled with pure joy and wonder, as he looked beyond the roads witnessing amazing things in his brand new world. It is the beginning of a beginning, and a smile turned up on my face with the power and sweetness of this simple thought.

one of my batch mate was sitting on a rock and was gazing into the distance. He looked sad and forlorn, as the breeze blew by and made the leaves flutter on the tree next to him, in this lonely scene. I was reminded of other days in the past when sadness and hopelessness were my only companions. I said a silent prayer for him, and profound thanks, to God, for me.



An old woman leaned on a fence post, looking into some other time. She doesn't seem either happy or sad, just gazed into the past, or maybe the future. I wonder what her ageing, but still lovely eyes have seen, in the time that she has spent in this world. Where has she been? What amazing things has she witnessed? A lifetime lays hidden behind her eyes. A feeling of timeless peace flew through me and all fear of what the future might bring drained away. I thanked her with my thoughts, and moved on.


Today i have learnt that there is something positive in any human being or things surrounding you, you just need eyes to see that
There are no moments when nothing is happening, so live and cherish each and every moment of your life


A conversation with GOD
Sunday, January 11, 2009 - Posted by jack - 16 comments

“How can be this YOUR world, there is so much of pain around, is this what YOU intended when you created this world”

‘Son it’s your world and it’s very beautiful, I never want anyone to be in pain, it’s not ME who has created this pain it’s your actions and your thoughts’

‘How can YOU say that ALMIGHTY, look at that poor man at the end of the street, he has nothing to wear nothing to eat, are his sufferings his own creations? ‘

‘No it’s not his own creation but I didn’t send anyone rich or poor, it’s you who have created this inequality, for me all human beings are equal, I want everyone happy”

“Then why don’t YOU help that man, he’s YOUR son too, why he has to suffer?’

“ I have given every one of you life than its up to you to live it or waste it, it’s your deeds that will bring you happiness or suffering, that man has to help himself by his deeds I am always there to support him”

‘where are you GOD, I can just see sadness and pain around, where can I find YOU in this world”

“I am everywhere son’

‘Where, in religious place?’

‘no son in every human being who does some good to inspire you, who support you when you are down, who makes you smile when you are sad, in love, in friendship, in every positive source of energy in this world you will find me there, even in your own self’

“But if YOU are present everywhere, why does life has to be so harsh, tell me some way I can live this life happily in spite of sorrows around’

‘look son life isn’t all sunshine and rainbow, there will be gloomy days, no matter how strong you are no one will hit you as hard as life, it will bit you to your knees and keep you their permanently if you allow it to, life is not about how hard you hit, but how much you can take that hit and keep moving forward, if you want to be successful and happy accept the fact that life’s not that easy and be strong and keep moving forward no matter what’

‘I am not that courageous GOD’

‘Courage my son doesn’t always roars, sometimes it’s just a quiet voice from within that says “i will try again tomorrow”
