नर हो न निराश करो मन को

नर हो न निराश करो मन को 
कुछ काम करो कुछ काम करो 
जग में रहकर निज नाम करो 
यह जन्म हुआ किस अर्थ अहो 
समझो जिसमे यह व्यर्थ न हो 
कुछ तो उपयुक्त करो तन का 
नर हो न निराश करो मन को 

सम्हलो की सुयोग न जाये चला
कब व्यर्थ हुआ सदुपयोग भला 
समझो जग को न निरा सपना
पथ आप प्रशश्त करो अपना 
अखिलेश्वर है अवलम्बन को
नर हो न निराश करो मन को 

जब प्राप्त तुम्हे सब तत्त्व यहाँ 
फिर जा सकता वह सत्त्वा कहाँ 
तुम स्वत्वा सुधा रसपान करो 
उठ कर अमरत्त्वा विधान करो 
दवरूप रहो मन कानन को 
नर हो न निराश करो मन को 

निज गौरव का नित ज्ञान रहे 
हम भी हैं कुछ यह ध्यान रहे 
सब जाये अभी पर मान रहे 
मरणोत्तर गुंजित गान रहे 
कुछ हो न तजो निज साधन को 
नर हो न निराश करो मन को 

                                    -मैथली शरण गुप्त 

Be Your Own Light

"atta deep bhav" - these were the last words of Gautam Buddha which means " Be Your Own Light"

Accept Yourself

"There is no need of any competition with anybody. You are yourself, and as you are, you are perfectly good. Accept yourself. This is what enlightenment is all about - a deep understanding that there is no problem."           - Osho

Rise The Lion

I will tell you a story. A lioness in search of prey came upon a flock of sheep, and as she jumped at one of them, she gave birth to a cub and died on the spot. The young lion was brought up in the flock, ate grass, and bleated like a sheep, and it never knew that it was a lion. One day a lion came across the flock and was astonished to see in it a huge lion eating grass and bleating like a sheep. At his sight the flock fled and the lion-sheep with them. But the lion watched his opportunity and one day found the lion-sheep asleep. He woke him up and said, "You are a lion." The other said, "No," and began to bleat like a sheep. But the stranger lion took him to a lake and asked him to look in the water at his own image and see if it did not resemble him, the stranger lion. He looked and acknowledged that it did. Then the stranger lion began to roar and asked him to do the same. The lion-sheep tried his voice and was soon roaring as grandly as the other. And he was a sheep no longer. My friends, I would like to tell you all that you are mighty as lions.

True Wisdom

The truest wisdom is a resolute determination.

Live Everyday

Death is nothing, but to live defeated and inglorious is to die daily.
                                                                                  - Napoleon Bonaparte

Way To Success

Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success.

All Is One

There is no today, there is no tomorrow
There is no home, there is no office
There is no day, there is no night
There is no June, there is no July
There is no you, there is no me
There is no dark, there is no light
There is no matter, there is no mind
There is nothing I own, there is nothing which is not mine
For all are connected one and the same thing, seen from different eyes.

अग्निपथ

वृक्ष हो भले खड़े, हो घने हो बड़े, एक पत छाव की |
मांग मत, मांग मत, मांग मत ||
अग्निपथ, अग्निपथ, अग्निपथ |||

तू न थकेगा कभी, तू न थमेगा कभी, तू न मुड़ेगा कभी |
कर शपथ, कर शपथ, कर शपथ ||
अग्निपथ, अग्निपथ, अग्निपथ |||

ये महान दृश्य है, चल रहा मनुष्य है, अश्रु स्वेद रक्त से |
लथपथ, लथपथ, लथपथ ||
अग्निपथ, अग्निपथ, अग्निपथ |||

Invictus

Out of the night that covers me,

      Black as the pit from pole to pole,

I thank whatever gods may be

      For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance

      I have not winced nor cried aloud.

Under the bludgeonings of chance

      My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears

      Looms but the Horror of the shade,

And yet the menace of the years

      Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,

      How charged with punishments the scroll,

I am the master of my fate,

      I am the captain of my soul.

Failures Are Not Waste

Whatever that does not kill you makes you stronger
                                                                                                 - Friedrich Nietzsche

Happiness for life

If you want to be happy for an hour, take a nap

If you want to be happy for a day, go fishing

If you want to be happy for a month, get married

If you want to be happy for life, help others.

                                                                                               - A chinese proverb

Art

An art which does not make the viewer a better person is no art at all.

Happiness

Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.

path ka bargad

path ke bargad ki chaon me 

tu tham na jana ae rahi

un meethi thand hawaon me

tu ram na jana ae rahi

 

 

hai door talak tujhko jana

hai manzil ka paigam yahi

har path par rahe footi hain

in raho ki bharmaron me 

tu ghum na jana ae rahi

path ke bargad ki chaon me 

tu tham na jana ae rahi

un meethi thand hawaon me

tu ram na jana ae rahi

 

jab chaya ghoor andhera ho

gir jane ka dar gehra ho

jab koso door savera ho

bas ek deepak ki kwaish me

tu jam na jana ae rahi 

 

path ke bargad ki chaon me 

tu tham na jana ae rahi

un meethi thand hawaon me

tu ram na jana ae rahi

 

din me sooraj ka sath liye

raton me pyar andhere se

badhata ja tu apni dhun me

bas ek sathi ki chahat me

tu gham na jana ae rahi

 

path ke bargad ki chaon me 

tu tham na jana ae rahi

un meethi thand hawaon me

tu ram na jana ae rahi

bas aage badhate jana hai

ham bhi hain kabil mushkil ko 

ab to bas ye samjhana hai

majdhar sahi, har baar sahi 

bas aage badhate jana hai

lahre sagar ka gehna hain

unka aana swabhavik hai

choti unchi neechi lehren 

toofan aana bhi jayaz hai

jo tum na mano haar ye lehren

apna seesh jhukayegi 

jo tumne mani haar ye lehren

tumko aaj dubayegi

lahron se ham kyon daren

hame bhoo khoj nai ab lana hai

 

majdhar sahi, har baar sahi 

bas aage badhate jana hai

 

rasta seedha sab chal jayen

mushkil aai to ruk jayen

par veer wahi kehlate hain

jo aage badhate jate hain

aandhi aaye toofan aaye

sab ruk jayen to ruk jayen

path me jo aai chattane 

unko bhi ab pighalana hai

jab sabne ghutane tek diye

tab hamko paon badhana hai

 

majdhar sahi, har baar sahi 

bas aage badhate jana hai

jinko hai pyar udano se

wo kab darte gir jane se

jo gir kar ham yun ruk jate

jo thak kar ham yun jhuk jate

to kya panchi hamse jalate

to kya tare ham chu pate

har galati se seekha hamne 

har baar naya vishwas jaga

jo chaha hai wo paya hai

ye geet hame fir gana hai

majdhar sahi, har baar sahi 

bas aage badhate jana hai

The Keys

The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential... these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence.

                                                                                                                                                              - Confucius

In Short

Broadly there are four ways to realize God , the ultimate bliss, freedom, the absolute. 

Karmyog, Bhakti, Rajayog and Gyanyog.

Doing your work unselfishly without any greed of rewards is Karmyog. 

Unconditional, unselfish love towards God without any greed of rewards is Bhakti.

Rajayog is realizing God and attaining the freedom and absolute bliss through understanding and mastering of mind.

Gyanyog is understanding that the creator and the created is one, the absolute himself. God is in everything, one is all and all is one.

Steel Will

The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential... these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence.

                                                                                          - Confucius

Perseverance

Ever Tried, Ever Failed, No Matter.

Try Again, Fail Again, Fail Better.

San Wawarinka  won Australian Open 2014 at the age of 28 years when many lose hope of winning a grand slam, he defeated three of the top 10 players Novak Jokovich, Rafael Nadal  and Roger Federer. He had these lines engraved on his hand and he lived these lines.
