Please watch this video. It is not meant to be political or a religious satire. It is just a point of view that we all need to be aware of. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5547481422995115331

there are times when I feel that life's such an empty journey through which I am traveling unaware of who I am or where I am heading where people around me change as the seasons and situations arise without any reasons there are times when I feel lonely lonelier than the leaf that whithers off the tree trying hard to believe that I am not the only one but ending up feeling god has been unfair to me there are times when I think think about my past not waiting for a miracle but wishing I'd be a kid again and hoping against hope that this time it would last forever and ever there are times when I feel that growing up is such a sin a sin that is bestowed upon us by god a sin that everyone has to commit there are times when I question myself who is more purer than god who can love us without anything in return who can be loved more than we could love ourselves whose smile can last in our memories forever whose touch can make you feel closer to god and I hear a voice the voice of my ...

just a poem that I wrote a long time ago I remember those days, when I used to wake up early in the the morning and look at the world with those tiny eyes gleaming in the first rays of sunshine with intense love and great hope, listening to the birds sing the song of love wondering what would be in store for me not having the slightest idea that every moment of my life would become history just like the ones gone by and I remember seeing the sun and the sky the same old tree with me passing by I knew that just as nothing has changed them so woudn' t I little did i know that I was a cocoon at the mercy of time which would turn me into a butterfly with wings made of hate and a heart full of pain and lie a lie that was told the day I was born a lie that still lives with me from dusk to dawn...

Too many times have I come across some very interesting facts that enforces my opinion that humans are by far the luckiest creatures to have lived/are living on this planet. We have so many imperfections in us which the typical animal kingdom is very unforgiving of. The old adage "Only the fittest will survive" is given an entirely new definition in our dictionary. Irrespective of how strong/weak we are, how smart/stupid we can be, we are still living and competing against each other, largely in a healthy way. I have very high hopes for the survival of our species and have no words to explain the intricacies of a system that we have established, if not perfected. A system where we still live together, most importantly, being aware of the differences in us. There seems to be little reason in discrediting the fact that we are very similar to animals in so many ways and it would not be too preposterous to use that as a excuse to explain the way we do certain things. Some may cal...

I have always wondered how science and religion, having been diametrically opposing concepts, have survived over such a long period of time and still continues to grow as well as coexist. It is interesting to note that what can't be explained by one is often deemed to be clarified by the other. One explains in the concept of god while the other believes in nature. If one were to carefully observe they are not so different after all. I'd like to believe that religion was probably an institution that was established to quell the fears of the unknown, the things which were inexplicable to human intelligence. It has always been in human nature to fear something that it does not understand just as it is innate to try and attribute this unknown as someone or something that is real. So what if, religion was something that was created to play an important part in the evolving society, a part that was to quell the doubts and fears of our existence and innumerable other questions that mi...

Many of us, at various instances of time might have been faced by questions that we may not have answers to. Is love being able to forgive? what is conscience? do mistakes need to be forgiven? what is fear? We have all learnt to perceive life in our own ways. Our childhood, family, friends, experiences have all gone into becoming the person that we are. It is rather an accumulation of our experiences and thoughts over a long period that actually help us make decisions, rationalize our behavior, criticize another person etc. We all have different experiences in our lives and this is what makes us react differently to different situations that we may face. Just as there needs to be a control over desire, food, work etc, our mind needs some form of a control too. When we are about to commit a mistake the voice inside us that holds us back from committing that mistake or the voice that urges us to admit and apologize for a mistake already committed, is the voice of conscience. We must lear...

How long ago was it that we really truly enjoyed the nature in its real splender? when was the last time we had the time and intent to listen to the rain pouring down or smell the earth before and after it rains, hear the early morning birds chirping or felt the warmth of sun seep through our body on a cold day. Isnt life really about enjoying such little and simple things of beauty without pretense or judgement? We have surrounded ourselves with objects that we think will give us happiness but in reality it only leads to a greater desire and accumulation of more things. Life is as much about simple pleasures as it is about those grandoise things. Realizing to appreciate our existence in this world will go a long way in making our lives more meaningful. Do not deny urself of this joy by taking anything/anyone for granted. We must enjoy life the way its meant to be enjoyed, without being opinionated, conceited or egotistic. It is in us to transform an ordinary and simple moment into a w...

Achievement is security, the self-protective certainty of the known. To seek security in that which is nameless is to deny it. The security that may be found is only in the projection of the past, of the known. For this reason the mind must be entirely and deeply silent; but this silence cannot be purchased through sacrifice, sublimation or suppression. This silence comes when the mind is no longer seeking, no longer caught in the process of becoming. This silence is not cumulative, it may not be built up through practice. The silence must be as unknown to the mind as the timeless; for if the mind experiences the silence, then there is the experiencer who is the result of past experiences, who is cognizant of a past silence; and what is experienced by the experiencer is merely a self-projected repetition. - JIDDU KRISHNAMURTI
