God Consciousness

Always have God consciousness before embarking on any journey in life, maybe you have it already but refreshing it in ur mind is very important.

The Creator of possibilities (Musabbab-ul-Asbab)

"Asbab se sarf-e-Nazar kar ke, musabbab-ul-Asbab pe nazar rakhna Sabr hai."
(Dr. Tahir-ul-Qadri- Tafseer-e-Minhaj-ul-Quran)
So even when possibilities aren't there, or you can't see them, have faith in the Creator of possibilities because He is always there! And Sabr is a direct outcome of belief in the Benevolence of Allah_the Creator of possibilities.

Face Your Fear!

Once you face your fear, it becomes powerless.

Freedom to make mistakes..

Fuel for thought! (on Freedom)

“Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.”
― Mahatma Gandhi

“I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.”
― S.G. Tallentyre

“Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.”
― Jim Morrison

“Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves.”
― Abraham Lincoln

“I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.”
― Robert A. Heinlein

“The secret of happiness is freedom, the secret of freedom is courage.”
― Carrie Jones, Need

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”
― C.S. Lewis

“A person who has not been completely alienated, who has remained sensitive and able to feel, who has not lost the sense of dignity, who is not yet "for sale", who can still suffer over the suffering of others, who has not acquired fully the having mode of existence - briefly, a person who has remained a person and not become a thing - cannot help feeling lonely, powerless, isolated in present-day society. He cannot help doubting himself and his own convictions, if not his sanity. He cannot help suffering, even though he can experience moments of joy and clarity that are absent in the life of his "normal" contemporaries. Not rarely will he suffer from neurosis that results from the situation of a sane man living in an insane society, rather than that of the more conventional neurosis of a sick man trying to adapt himself to a sick society. In the process of going further in his analysis, i.e. of growing to greater independence and productivity,his neurotic symptoms will cure themselves.”
― Erich Fromm

“Imagine a society that subjects people to conditions that make them terribly unhappy then gives them the drugs to take away their unhappiness. Science fiction It is already happening to some extent in our own society. Instead of removing the conditions that make people depressed modern society gives them antidepressant drugs. In effect antidepressants are a means of modifying an individual's internal state in such a way as to enable him to tolerate social conditions that he would otherwise find intolerable.”
― Theodore Kaczynski

So What if Love'sidol is hidden?

"So what if love's idol is hidden? One's heart will never be far away.
My guide lives many mountains away, but he is visible before me.
Whoever has one grain of love is drunk without wine.
They are true mystics, Bahu, whose graves are alive."
~Hzt.Sultan Bahu ♥

Perhaps the greatest faculty our minds possess is the ability to cope with pain. Classic thinking teaches us of the four doors of the mind, which everyone moves through according to their need. First is the door of sleep. Sleep offers us a retreat from the world and all its pain. Sleep marks passing time, giving us distance from the things that have hurt us. When a person is wounded they will often fall unconscious. Similarly, someone who hears traumatic news will often swoon or faint. This is the mind's way of protecting itself from pain by stepping through the first door. Second is the door of forgetting. Some wounds are too deep to heal, or too deep to heal quickly. In addition, many memories are simply painful, and there is no healing to be done. The saying 'time heals all wounds' is false. Time heals most wounds. The rest are hidden behind this door. Third is the door of madness. There are times when the mind is dealt such a blow it hides itself in insanity. While this may not seem beneficial, it is. There are times when reality is nothing but pain, and to escape that pain the mind must leave reality behind. Last is the door of death. The final resort. Nothing can hurt us after we are dead, or so we have been told.” ― Patrick Rothfuss, The Name of the Wind

Saif-ul-Malook by Mian Muhammad Baksh sung by Abida Parveen

Rehmat da mee paa khudaya, baagh suka ker harya
boota aas umeed meri da ker de meivay bharya

Mitha meva baksh ajeya, qudrat di ghat sheer
jo khavay rog us da jaavay, dur hovay dilgeeri

... sada bahar dein is baaghay kadeen khizaan na aaway,
hovan Faiz hazaaran taaein,her bhukha phal khaavay.

Baal chiragh ishq da mera,Roshan ker day seena
Dil de deevay di roshnai, jaavay wich zameenan.

Awwal hamd sanaa ilaahi, jo maalik her her daa
Us da naam chitaaran waala kisay medan na harda.

Qudrat theen jis baagh bnaye, jag sansaar tamami
Rang barangi bootay laye kuj khaasay kuj aami

Art from within...

Art from within...

Nahiin nigah mein manzil to justuju hi sahi (Abida sings Faiz Ahmad Faiz)

Nahiin nigah mein manzil to justuju hi sahi,
 nahi wisal mayassar to aarzoo hi sahi.


Na tan mein khoon faraham na ashk aankhon mein,
Namaz-e-shoq to wajib hai bewuzu hi sahi. 


Kisi tarha to jamay bazm may-kaday walo,
nahiin jo baada-o-saaghar to hao-hoo hi sahi. 


Gar intezar kathin hai to jab talak ae dil! 
kisi ke waada-e-farda ki guftugu hi sahi. 


Dayaar-e-ghair mein mehram agar nahi koi 
to Faiz zikr-e-watan apne ru baru hi sahi.

Jo ruk jao to tanha ho

Kuch panchi jhund mein urtay hon,
aur rasta bhi kuch mushkil ho,
kuch dur ufaq pe manzil ho,
Ik panchi ghayal ho jaye.

Or be-dum ho ker gir jaye,
To rishtay naatay pyaray sab,
Kb is ki khatir ruktay hain?

is dunya ki hai reet yahi,
Jo sath chalo to sath bohat
Jo ruk jao to tanha ho!

Real Beauty!

It was a SCARY NIGHT, storm and wind with heavy out-pour of rain bombarded their nest. She was holding on to her little ones all night hoping it will end soon. And that early sun came out signaling the end of it, painting the skies with his vivid colors.

For that five sensed creature the mighty sun saving her little ones were real beauty.

"Opportunities to find deeper powers within ourselves come when life seems most challenging." ~ Joseph Campbell

 

No successful person has ever bypassed failure. So if you think that you should,... you're not ready to succeed. If you face your Failures, Success is the End Fruit of All it All. ¤ Written By Nacrissa J. Vil

"Don't be afraid to fail. Don't waste energy trying to cover up failure. Learn from your failures and go on to the next challenge. It's OK to fail. If you're not failing, you are not growing." ~ H. Stanley Judd

You're special! Don't ever forget it!

A well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill. In the room of 200, he asked. "Who would like this $20 bill?"
Hands started going up. He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you - but first, let me do this."

He proceeded to crumple the 20 dollar note up. He then asked. "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air.
"Well," he replied, "what if I do this?"... He dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. "Now, who still wants it?"
Still the hands went into the air.

"My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20.
Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless; but no matter what happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value.
Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to those who love you. The worth of our lives comes, not in what we do or who we know, but by ...WHO WE ARE.
You are special - don't ever forget it."

Context Matters!

you should train yourself to view intellect — and any other aspect of your personal skill set — as a muscle that grows with effort and atrophies with neglect. When you accept that the answers to “Who am I?” should be written in pencil and not pen, threats become opportunities and failures transform into life lessons.

It’s refreshing to realize that that you’re not a finished product — that who you are in the here and now may not be the same person you’ll be in the then and there.

(Sam Sommers-In his fascinating book Situations Matter: Understanding How Context Transforms Your World, psychology professor and researcher)

fuel for thought

We are all capable of uttering profound truths.
We are all part of creation -
all kings, all poets, all musicians;
we have only to open up,
to discover what is already there.
(Henry Miller)

Fear is not our enemy. It is merely a compass pointing us to the areas where we need to grow.
(Steve Pavlina)


Only a powerful soul can offer love. Only a powerful soul can afford to be humble. If we are weak, then we become selfish. If we are empty, we take; but if we are filled, we automatically give to all. That is our nature.

(Dadi Prakashmani)


We're all told we should be leaders. But the world needs great followers too. If there's an issue or idea or cause you feel strongly about, have the courage to be a great follower and inspire others to do the same.

If you awake every morning with the thought that something wonderful will happen in your life today, you'll often find that you are right.

(Nancy Sathre-Vogel)

You've done well.

You've made great stuff happen,
and you will make more great stuff happen.
You've been scared and you overcame.
You've been knocked down and you rose.
And you've been lost, or so you thought,
only to discover it was just the calm before
another storm of creativity, love, and fun.
(Mike Dooley)

 There is a thought in your mind right now. The longer you hold on to it, the more you dwell upon it, the more life you give to that thought. Give it enough life, and it will become real. So make sure the thought is indeed a great one.

(Ralph Marston)
