ram H singhal Happiness notes

“Each one   has  happiness in own  hands,

as the artist handles the rude clay and seeks to reshape it into a figure;

yet it is the same with this art of happiness as with all others:

only the capacity for it is innate;

the art itself must be learned and painstakingly practiced.”

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

strangers of life

Good and God’s morning ……. 

this morning a friend posted Frank Sinatra……. Strangers In The Night and while listening to it remembered visiting a shopping mall yesterday and as their parents were busy in a store ……. 

waiting outside with my two grand children in the passage noticed flow of people ….. lots of people ……. most of the people walking like strangers in this world …… lost and busy ….. so wondering where the softness and beauty of human eyes is lost ……may be in the labels of the shopping bags or in the levels of car parking …… 

but next to our seat came and sat a mother with her 3 or 4 year girl and in no time my grand children and this girl were playing together ….. like a family ….many time learn from small children the art of human communication ….. and after few minutes we all were on our busy path …… once again like strangers ……

are we stangers or we pose to be strangers ?

was Lord buddha a stranger in this world or Jesus Christ or mother Teresa ?…….

certainly not …. 

for them world was one family …..so love for everyone …..

remembered the text from 

Maha Upanishad Chapter 6, Verse 72: 

” अयं बन्धुरयं नेति गणना लघुचेतसां
उदारचरितानां तु वसुधैव कुटुम्बकं “

‘ayam bandhurayam neti ganana laghuchetasam
udaracharitanam tu vasudhaiva kutumbakam’ 

‘Only small mind and heart human discriminate saying: One is a relative; the other is a stranger.
For those who live magnanimously the entire world constitutes but a family.’

so be a open mind and big heart human like enlightened masters from all religions and children of this beautiful mother earth …… 

love all.

Fragrant Breeze

“This is the kind of Friend
You are –
Without making me realize
My soul’s anguished history,
You slip into my house at night,
And while I am sleeping,
You silently carry off
All my suffering and sordid past
In Your beautiful
Hands.”

― شمس الدین محمد حافظ / 
Shams-al-Din Mohammad Hafez, 
(1325 – 1389 )
