WHAT IS LIFE?????

[Sai ka Tej]

ॐ सांई राम~~~

ज़िंदगी~~~

एक अजीब सी खामोशी है,
जिसमें छिपा एक स्वर है ।

एक अजीब सी उदासी है ,
जिसमें छिपी एक मुस्कान है ।

एक अजीब सी रात्रि है ,
जिसमे छिपा एक उजाला है ।

एक अजीब सा डर है,
जिसमें छिपी निडरता है ।

एक अजीब सा सूखा है ,
जिसमें छिपी एक बरसात है ।

एक अजीब सा झूठ है ,
जिसमें छिपा एक सत्य है ।

एक अजीब सा परोक्ष है,
जिसमें छिपा एक प्रत्यक्ष है ।

एक अजीब सी म्रत्यू है,
जिसमें छिपा एक जीवन है ।

इसी का नाम है ज़िंदगी,
जिसमें छिपे है कई रहस्य।

जिसकी खोज में अग्रसर है हर जन ,
जिसको जीने में तत्पर है हर जन ,
जिसको पाने में सक्षम है हर तन ,
जिसको खरीदने में तुच्छ है हर धन ।

WHAT LIFE MEANS~~~

Life is s gift without any returns expected.


Life is flower that shines, then withers and falls off.


Life is a beauty that lies in the eyes of the beholder.


Life is a religion that requires reverence, confidence and devotion.


Life is a river which flows away and then dries out.


Life is color of excitement, shadows of remorse, repentance of guilt, tides of mood and situations.


Life is a book- every page revealing a new meaning to it.


Life is a lesson, precise, short and tempting.


Life is a candle which is dim enough to conceal unnecessary and what is beyond faculty; It sways with the gust of difficulty, rekindles and then extinguishes one day.


Life is a dove- white and clear, peaceful and sacred.


Life is also a pit of darkness, confusion, anger, sins and death.


Life is a curtain which swings with the blow of experiences, then folds up one day.


Life is a joke to be laughed at.


Life is a poem to be be-heartened.


Life is a forest to be explored.


Life is a pasture to be cultivated.


Life is a teacher.


Life is a tide that never returns.


Life is a glass which reflects what is given.


Life is a bed of thorns and roses.


Life is a phrase to be explained, understood, learnt.


Life is Wordsworth's daffodil, life is Shakespeare's love stories.


Life is your essays- that what you express.


Life is your speeches- its what you say; your thoughts because they become actions; explanations- since you teach what you have learnt.


Life is words spoken. It's sometimes the brightness of the sun and then the colors of shadow.


Life is a food for a soul.


Life is gratefulness to God.


Life is learning what is right and wrong.


Life is a music that consoles.


Life is the love you give and take and behold.


Can anyone out there tell me what life is? They say it is the counter of death. You tell me what death is and I'll tell you what life is!

Remember- when you look through a blue glass everything appears blue, if through a red glass, all red and bright, if through a smoky one, everything appears to be sad and dull. It's up to you to color your life. But don't forget, it's just one life that we get to live and it's full of meaning.

WHAT IS THIS LIFE SO ALL ABOUT?


What is this life all about?
Is it just caring or is it sharing,
Oh why the confusion,
Why the doubt?

For as much as I try and
As much as I care,
I still find it so hard to love
And to share.

Have faith, confidence, and belief, I'm told
And all will be well with me.
Yet try as I may and try as I might,
It takes more than faith to make things alright.

Then lo and be hold, it happened!
The impossible dream came true,
An answer so simple it scares me,
And to think it's shared by so few.

Yes, in order to receive, you've got to give,
That's what this life is so all about!
It's the giving and sharing, the loving and caring
That takes away all the doubt.

It's how you feel about yourself
That really tells the tale.
You're better then you think you are,
Believe in this and you'll not fail.

Very little in life is original,
It's all been said before.
For it goes way back to the Bible,
The Golden Rule and more.

So when you fell despondent
And life seems woeful and grim,
Take a good look at your attitude
It's the very first place to begin.

And if the stress of everyday living,
We're told can make us ill,
Then let's believe in miracles
And laugh to the top of the hill.

Yes, it's the laughing and the loving
That sets the stage of life,
And it's believing and caring and giving
And sharing that makes it all so right.

So take heed, those of you
Who live in a world of doubt,
In order to receive, you've got to give
And that's what this life is all about~~~

शक्ति के 3 रूप माने गए हैं- सत्यम् शिवम् सुंदरम्। यह सारा आकार उससे आता है, जिसका कोई आकार नहीं। यह सारा रूप उससे आता है जिसका कोई रूप, रंग नहीं। फूल खिला रूप और रंग लेकर। फूल मुरझाया तो रंग खो गया। रूप भी चला गया। लेकिन कहां गया? समा गया उसमें, जिसका कोई रूप नहीं। एक दिन फूल सूखकर नष्ट हो गया। उसका आकार वहां चला गया, जिसका कोई आकार नहीं।

सुकरात सांझ के समय घर लौट रहे थे। एक बच्चा घर में रोशनी के लिए चिराग लिए जा रहा था। उन दिनों यूनान में आग सिर्फ अमीरों के यहां जलती थी, जहां से दूसरे लोग भी अपने घर में रोशनी के लिए चिराग या मशाल जलाकर ले आते थे। सुकरात ने बच्चे को रोक कर सवाल किया- 'यह प्रकाश कहां से आया?' उनके पूछने का आशय यह था कि प्रकाश किस घर से लेकर आए हो। बालक ने फूंक मार कर चिराग बुझा दिया और बोला- 'बाबा बताओ, यह प्रकाश कहां चला गया?' बुजुर्ग सुकरात ने बच्चे के आगे सिर झुका दिया।

Deva means divine, abhinavo means new, newness, freshness -- divine newness. The word "new" comes from the same root: navo. Life is constantly renewing itself; not even for a single moment is it the same. If it appears the same to us, that simply shows that we have missed seeing the change that has happened. Maybe the change was too fast and we could not see it; maybe the change was so quick, and we were not alert -- we were asleep. Maybe we were occupied with something else. That's what is happening: because the mind is constantly occupied with the past or with the future, it goes on missing the change that is happening right now.

Everything is changing. Trees are growing, so are the mountains; rivers are flowing and so are the mountains. Everything is in a flow -- nothing is stagnant. The child is growing, the young man is becoming old, the old is moving every moment into death.

Death is becoming life, and life is becoming death; day's turning into night and the night is turning into day. It is constant -- the wheel goes on moving, but we go on missing it because we are never herenow; hence the boredom. We think everything is the same.

In the morning you leave the home, and by the evening when you come back do you think that it is the same woman that you left in the morning? It is not, it is not possible. Much water has flowed down the Ganges. The woman has become eight hours older so much has changed in her. She is not the same woman that you think you left, but because you are so occupied you never give her a look.

In fact, if a person is told to recall the face of his wife, he will not be able to remember it because for years he has not looked at the face of the woman. And if he recalls it at all it may be the face that his woman had thirty years before, when they got married, when they were in love, and when he had seen the woman for the first time. But it can't be contemporary, not at all. It cannot be of the immediate moment.

People start taking each other for granted. They start taking everything for granted -- the trees and the stars and the sun and the moon -- then life becomes a boredom. Then they are utterly bored and dragging and they don't see what the point of it all is.

Life can become a celebration, but one has to see the newness, the constant renewing energy of life.

Each moment it brings something new into existence which was never before and will never be again. Each moment the old disappears and the new is born. Only in meditation can one see it, because in meditation one becomes unoccupied.

That is the definition of meditation: to become unoccupied, to be empty, not to be occupied at all. And these are the two occupations: the past and the future. The moment you are not occupied you are out of time; then you are herenow, in this immediate moment. And when eyes open to this immediate moment, it is simply unbelievably beautiful. It is a constant wonder. There are surprises and surprises at each step, with each breath. Then life takes on a new color, a new vigor. Then you are also fresh, because nothing ever gets old.

To remain in this freshness is to be spiritual. Then one is always young. Even in death one is young, even in dying one is fresh. Even the moment of death will bring only new surprises, that's all. New doors will open, new mysteries will be revealed. Then life is a joy, and death too.

This is the alchemy of transforming life. So start becoming more and more unoccupied and available to the present.

Life's Meaning~~~

It's not the length of the stem
Nor the beauty of the rose.
It is the scent that is given
To comfort and console~~~

It's not the contour of the body
Nor the beauty of the face.
It is the love in the heart
That changes the world's pace~~~

It's not the width of the trunk
Nor the shape of the leaves.
It is the oxygen that it provides
To keep us to breathe~~~

It's not the intelligence of the mind
Nor the color of the skin.
It is the strength of the beauty
Within~~~

It's not the color of the sun
Nor the heat of the rays.
It is the light that it provides
To each and every day~~~

It's not the sound of the ocean
Nor the touch of the sand.
It is the feeling of SAI
Lending us a helping hand~~~

Life should be a sweet song but man has made it very bitter, very ugly. It has lost all the qualities of music, rhythm, harmony. It has become an ugly struggle to survive, and survival to no purpose at all, just an ugly struggle which leads nowhere, a cut-throat competition, absolutely unnecessary.

Life is meant to be a celebration, not a competition. We need not be enemies here. If we are enemies to each other, that's what competition means, then if life becomes a hell it is not a surprise, it should not be a surprise. We make it a hell because we make it a conflict; we reduce it to violent struggle. It is multi-dimensional: one nation against other nations, one religion against other religions, one caste against other castes, man against woman, rich against poor, one ideology against another ideology. It is multi-dimensional, it is very complicated, hence it has lost the rhythm, it has lost the quality of song and dance.
Man is missing something terribly; something has gone really wrong; man has moved astray. Even birds are far more in tune with god than man.

Even animals, trees and rocks, are more in harmony with existence than man. And bliss is a by-product, a by-product of being in harmony with existence. It is an effort to bring a song to your life, to transform it from the ugly plane of conflict to the beautiful plane of celebration. And that is real revolution: when you are no more an enemy, when you befriend the whole, when you are in love with the whole as it is, when you are not in any need to impose yourself upon it, when you can accept and bless it as it is, and when you can feel grateful for all that god has given, for all that existence provides....Then slowly slowly a new kind of fragrance arises in you. That fragrance is sannyas. it's taste is tremendously sweet; it is the taste of nectar.

The old religions were against life. They created more conflict, they made people very serious.  Life can be a song only when it is full of play, really playful, when it has no seriousness -- sincere, of course, but not serious -- when there is a sense of humour, when one is capable of laughing, weeping, dancing, when one is capable of enjoying the small moments and small joys that life brings every day, and in thousands of ways it brings them.

When one is not hankering for great things, extraordinary things, incredible things, when one is not desiring and hankering for exceptional, egoistic highs, but on the contrary one is satisfied with the ordinariness of every thing, then the very ordinariness becomes luminous.

Then all ordinariness disappears, then nothing is ordinary. When you are satisfied with the ordinary, then nothing is ordinary, everything becomes extraordinary. Then every small thing contains the great and every small event is historical; it has a tremendous import. And your life goes on becoming richer and richer in songs.

And if man has lived rightly, his death becomes the crescendo, the ultimate song. Then death too is beautiful! And unless death is beautiful a man has not lived rightly. Death is the test, the criterion.

ज़िंदगी~~~

ज़िंदगी वह है जो पल पल जीना सिखाए,
ज़िंदगी वह है जो गिरते हुए को उठाए,
जो हंसाए भी रूलाए भी
परन्तु हर कदम पर आगे बढ़ना सिखाए,
ज़िंदगी वो नहीं जीते जो मायूस हो जाएं
अरे ज़िंदगी तो वो जीते हैं,
जो मुसीबतों को ठोकर मार आगे बढ़ते जाए ।

ज़िंदगी में सुख है तो दुःख भी ।
ज़िंदगी अगर प्यार है तो तलवार भी।
ज़िंदगी वह है जो भटके हुए
दिलों को सही राह पर लाए।

रे इंसान अगर ज़िंदगी का पूरा आनंद नहीं लिया--

तो इस बात का भी गम न तुझे सताए~~~

जय सांई राम~~~
