Interview With God

I dreamed I had an interview with God.
"So you would like to interview me?" God asked.
"If you have the time" I said.
God smiled. "My time is eternity." "What questions do you have in mind for me?"
"What surprises you most about humankind?"
God answered...
"That they get bored with childhood, they rush to grow up, and then long to be children again."
"That they lose their health to make money... and then lose their money to restore their health."
"That by thinking anxiously about the future, they forget the present, such that they live in neither the present nor the future."
"That they live as if they will never die, and die as though they had never lived."
God's hand took mine and we were silent for a while.
And then I asked...
"As a parent, what are some of life's lessons you want your children to learn?"
"To learn they cannot make anyone love them. All they can do is let themselves be loved."
"To learn that it is not good to compare themselves to others."
"To learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness."
"To learn that it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in those they love, and it can take many years to heal them."
"To learn that a rich person is not one who has the most, but is one who needs the least."
"To learn that there are people who love them dearly, but simply have not yet learned how to express or show their feelings."
"To learn that two people can look at the same thing and see it differently."
"To learn that it is not enough that they forgive one another, but they must also forgive themselves."
"Thank you for your time," I said humbly.
"Is there anything else you would like your children to know?"
God smiled and said, "Just know that I am here... always."

Dil Ke Aarmaan..

Badi mehnat se meri duniya lutai hogi,
Meri hasti b mitai hogi,
La uske pairon me marham laga du,
Mere dil ko thokar marte unhe chaut to aayi hogi.

Bedard Kuch Dost Aise ho gaye hai hamare,
Jo hamara intezar bi nahi karte,
Kabhi humse bahot baat kiya karte the,
Ab to hame yad bhi nahi karte.

Ishq se mili hai jo tanhai humein,
Kaise uska dard bayaan karenge,
Ekse hi mohabbat itni karli,
Auro se mohabbat kya karenge.

Tera dukh hum seh nahi sakte,
Bhari mahfil me kuch keh nahi sakte,
Humare girte aansu pakad ke dekh,
Wo bhi kehte hai hum tere bin reh nahi sakte.

Har Ek Jazbat ko juban nahi milti,
Har ek aarju ko dua nahi milti,
Muskan banaye rakho to dunia hai sath,
Aansou ko tho anko mein bhi panah nahi milti.

Khul kay ezhar-e-mohabbat karna hamari aadat na thi,
Wo samajay ke humain unse mohabbat na thi,
Sari aarzu dil mein hi rah gaye,
Kabhi hum masroof the, to kabhi unhe fursat na thi.

Chote se dil ko milte jakham bahut hai,
Zindagi ko milte har pal gum bahut hai,
Mar dalti kab ki ye duniya humein,
Kambkhat aap jaise doston ki duaon mein dum bahut hai.

Humne Ansuo se poocha,
Kyu mera majak banate ho,
Sabke samne hi chale ate ho,
Ansu bole
"Mehfil me bhi aapko tanha pate hain",
To saath dene chale aate hai.

Bahut chaha magar tumko bhula na sake,
Khayalon me kisi aur ko la na sake,
Tumko dekh ke aansoo to poch liye,
Par kisi ke samne muskura na sake.

Kasur na unka tha na mera,
Hum dono hi rishton ki rasmein nibhte rahe,
Wo Dosti ka ehsaas jatate rahe,
Hum Mohabat ko dil me chupate rahe.

Jab pyar karna sikh liya, to pyar nibhana bhi sikh liya,
Jab aaye aap ki yad to palko ko jhukana bhi sikh liya,
Is dar se ki koi dekh na le ye aansu,
Har gam me muskurana bhi sikh liya.

True Love

Here is a story about lord Krishna that will tell us what true love is about.
Krishna, while living in Dwarka with his favorite wife Rukmani, would very often softly utter to her, "O Radha, O Radha."
Rukmani felt jealous and asked him why he kept remembering Radha so often.
Krishna did not say anything. He just smiled.
A few days later, Krishna complained of stomachache.
Rukmani gave him medicines, but the pain did not go away. He kept moaning in pain.
Krishna told her that only a little Charanamrita (blessed water) of a person who truly loved him would put an end to his agony.
He begged Rukmani to give him some of her Charanamrita.
A shocked Rukmani refused: "how can I commit such a terrible sin?
You are the lord of all that be, and if I gave you my Charanamrita I would surely go to hell."
Krishna then asked Rukmani to send an attendant to Vrindavan and try and procure some Charanamrita from someone there.
Soon the attendant returned with a cupful of Charanamrita and as Krishna sipped it, all the pain disappeared.
He then asked the attendant, "who gave you this Charanamrita?" the attendant replied, "No one in Vrindavan was ready to give it on learning it was for lord Krishna.
Then one young woman came running up to me and gave me this cup.
Her companions cautioned her, "You fool Radha; you are committing the greatest sin.
But she did not care.
She said, "I don't care about what happens to me but I cannot bear to see my beloved Krishna in pain.
"Krishna turned to Rukmani standing by his side and said, "
Radha is not afraid of going to hell for me. She only thinks about me.
So if Radha loves me so much, should I also not long for her?"
This is what true love is about.
It is unconditional.
Sacrifice is the most important characteristics of true love.

Who To Blame

Boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage.
They were a loving couple and the boy was the gem of their eyes.
When the boy was round two years old, one morning the husband saw a medicine bottle open.
He was late for office so he asked his wife to cap the bottle and keep it in the cupboard.
His wife, preoccupied in the kitchen totally forgot the matter.
The boy saw the bottle and playfully went to the bottle fascinated by its colour and drank it all.
It happened to be a poisonous medicine meant for adults in small dosages.
When the child collapsed the mother hurried him to the hospital, where he died.
The mother was stunned.
She was terrified how to face her husband.
When the distraught father came to the hospital and saw the dead child, he looked at his wife and uttered just five words.

QUESTIONS:
1. What were the five words?
2. What is the implication of this story?

ANSWERS:
The husband just said "I am with you Darling".
The husband's totally unexpected reaction is a proactive behavior.
The Child is dead. He can never be brought back to life.
There is no point in finding fault with the mother.
Besides, if only he had taken time to keep the bottle away, this would not have happened.

No one is to be blamed.
She had also lost her only child.
What she needed at that moment was consolation and sympathy from the husband.
That is what he gave her.
If everyone can look at life with this kind of perspective,
there would be much fewer problems in the world.
"A journey of a thousand miles Begins with a single step."
Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness, and fears.
And you will find things are actually not as difficult as you think.
MORAL
Sometimes we spend time in asking who is responsible or whom to blame, whether in a relationship, in a job or with the people we know.
By this Way we miss out some warmth in human relationship

Mooooods...

Moods of a woman:
An angel of truth & a dream of fiction,
She's afraid of a wasp,
Will scream at a mouse;
but will tackle a stranger alone in d house.
Sour as vinegar, sweet as a rose;
She'll kiss u one minute, then turn up her nose.
She'll win u in rage, enchant u in silk;
She'll b stronger than brandy, milder than milk.
At times she'll be vengeful, merry n sad;
She'll hate u like poison & love u like mad.

Moods of a man:
Hungry
Horny
Sleepy
