Some selected Shaires which are bound to touch your heart

I am taking the liberty of reproducing herewith, some very fine Shairs I picked up from the facebook with due apologies to their authors, for the reading pleasure of all those who visit this blog often. The Shairs are bound to touch your minds and hearts.

Kursi hai, koi janaaza toh nahi hai,

Kuchh kar nahi sakte, to utar kyon nahi jaate.

Raton ko chalti rahti hai, mobile par ungliyan,

Seene par kitab rakh ke soye kaafi waqt ho gaya.

Aaj maine fir jazbaat bheje,

Tumne fir alfaaz hi samjhe.

Ik itvaar hi hai, jo rishton ko sambhaalta hai,

Baaki din kishton ko sambhaalne me kharch ho jaate hai.

Abhi abhi kuch guzra hai, laaparwaah, 
dhool mein daudta hua,

Zara palat kar dekhun toh, bachpan tha shayad.

Sochta hoon dhokhe se zeher de doon,

Sabhi khwahishon ko dawat pe bula kar.

Na jaane kab kharch hog aye, pata hi nahi chala,

Who lamhe, jo chhupa kar rakhe the maine jeene ke lie.

Main tum se ab kuchh nahi maangta ae khuda,

Teri dekar chheen lene ki aadat mujhe manzoor nahin.

Insaan khud kih nazar me sahi hona chaahiye,

Dunia toh bhagwan se bhi khush nahi hai.

Khel Khel Mein

Utrakhand me Fansi ek Beti ne apni Maa se

Puchha: "Maa Radio pe Suna hai ki India Jeet Gai hai, jo Khel rahe the Unhe 1-1 crore Milega"

Maa Boli: Haan Beti sarkar kehti hai "woh Desh kay Liye khel rahe hain.. isiliye"

Beti Asmaan me Helicopter pe Latakte Jawaan ko Dekh ke boli: "Maa Kya Inhe bhi 1-1 crore milega??"

Maa: "Naa Beti Naa, Hamare yahan Balle se khelne wale ko hi Inaam Milta hai, Jaan pe khelne wale ko nahin"

Words of Wisdom

There are six things that the LORD hates,

seven that are an abomination to him:

Haughty eyes,

A lying tongue,

Hands that shed innocent blood,

A heart that devises wicked plans,

Feet that make haste to run to evil,

A false witness who breathes out lies,

and

One who sows discord among brothers.

The Bible

 Proverbs 6:16–19

********

Uttering falsehood…destroys the conscience altogether.

Swami Shivananda

********

"Truly Allah guides not one who transgresses and lies."

The Quran

Surah 40:28

********

One who speaks lies shall fall into hell and burn.

In all the world, the most blessed and sanctified are those,

who remain absorbed in Truth.

One who eliminates selfishness and conceit

is redeemed in the Court of the Lord.

Shri Guru Granth Sahib page 142

Food for Thought

This article is brilliant and brings in deeper level of wisdom to the reader. This article appeared in the speaking tree.

You can be the most wonderful human being, good to the core, never hurting anybody. Yet, you will sometimes find yourself facing the gigantic task of dealing with the most difficult people in your life. It has happened with me and I sometimes wonder why?

I am a non-confrontationalist; I hate conflicts. I give advice only when I am asked to; otherwise I keep my mouth shut. I usually never interfere in anyone’s affairs, yet my experience has shown that being good does not stop people from picking up on you. Being non-interfering does not stop others from interfering and meddling in your life.

We encounter so many kinds of people in our entire life span -- good, bad, funny, rude, arrogant, humble. Every person either adds or takes away something from your life. Being a positive person myself, I always look and search for the good in other people I meet. When I encounter their negative traits, I ignore to the maximum possible extent I can. I just overlook it. I tell myself, I am not perfect, so why and how can I expect others to be perfect?

But what confounds me is when we have to handle difficult people, who can either be a part of our close family circle or friends circle or work area of our life. I am talking of those people whom even if we want to, we cannot avoid or wish away. Day in and day out we have to face them. They do not make you feel good in any way yet you have to look in their face and talk to them. They drag you into arguments and squabbles you don’t really want to get into.

The initial and most natural response towards difficult people is to pay them back in their own coin. It appears to be the most sensible thing to do. But settling scores just makes you feel like your tormentor. The line distinguishing you and the difficult person just melts away. And that is not a good feeling -- to know that somebody has changed the niceness in you and brought out something you do not really wish to identify with.

Beware. Difficult people can bring out your nastiest side -- introducing you to an alien element of your nature. They do have the power to change you for the worst. So, how do you deal with such people and yet retain your sanity and preserve the goodness within you? From my experience I have learnt one thing -- to accept the fact that such people will be around in my life for some time.

Once that fact is accepted, I admit to myself that I cannot change that person for the better though I can only wish for the same. The least I can do is pray. You may see a marginal improvement over the years in their behaviour towards you but more or less they remain the same. In very rare cases, some persons could have done a 360 degree turnaround in their basic nature from being difficult to becoming a good person.

So, while the difficult person remains what he/she is, I stick to being what I am. I have learnt that you don’t have to be difficult to deal with difficult people. A difficult person gives you the opportunity to exercise every single nerve of patience and emotional resilience in your body and mind. And that’s what I do. I tell myself it is exercise time!

Do not allow a difficult person to make you a bad or a bitter person. Give that person in prayer and thought to God. And keep praying to God to give you the graces and strength to hold on to your core self. Handling difficult people becomes easy when you just hand them over to God!

Golf teaches that....

Golf teaches that although there are few people who are honest in golf but cheat in life, everybody who cheats in golf cheats in life.

*

Golf teaches that even though you probably don't have a shot at being the best, you do have a shot at being the best you can be.

*

Golf teaches that both success and failure are temporary.

*

Golf teaches that success is a lot more temporary.

*

Golf teaches that although practice does not always make us perfect, no practice always makes us imperfect.

*

Golf teaches that no matter how good you are, there will always be someone better and that person will find you and tell you.

*

Golf teaches that when you are good you can tell people, but when you are great they will tell you.

*

Golf teaches that though patience is a virtue, slow play is not.

*

Golf teaches that though the best golfers have the most chances to win, the other golfers have the most chances to improve.

*

Golf teaches that on some dewy morning or some golden afternoon, with the sun warming the world, we can find ourselves walking through an improvised meadow and realize we are not searching for the little white ball, but for a moment where the world of nature and the world of play are one. And then in the dew and the sunshine we can understand that even though we can make a ball perfectly white, only God can make a meadow perfectly green.
