Welcome to Unofficial Soul Search

 It was the last day of University exams. By afternoon, as soon as the last exam was over, the University ground was buzzing with happy sounds of students cheering and celebrating the onset of vacation after the two week long examinations. Hina was happy with her performance in the exams and joyously rode her bike home. As she rode, she gently tapped the leaves of the roadside trees in joy. The winter sun was hiding behind the clouds and it was about to rain. She was midway on her way back home, when it started drizzling. Around the corner of the street near the town park she saw a man who lay on the street shivering in cold. His shirt was torn and dirty, and he was crying miserably. Hina stopped, alighted from the bike and asked him why he was crying. He did not answer. He kept weeping and shivering. Hina took her shawl and put it around him and asked him what made him cry and sit in the street. He stared at her; her shawl had brought him the warmth of the sun on that cold da

While walking on the road I met Time He seemed to be in a hurry I asked him if he could stop  For a while to talk He said he could not He had to keep moving To keep up with the latest trends, fashions, technologies etc. Otherwise he would lose out 'Lose out on what ?' I asked As I ran along to keep pace 'Lose out on my position, My value, my very existence I have to be there before anyone else I have to keep changing to keep the world going' After running a while I could no longer keep pace with Time And I let him pass Then I met Love She was not rushing anywhere like Time She was peaceful and serene I asked Love How is it that you are so peaceful? Don't you feel that you have to move, to change, to keep up with the latest trends 'I have always been like this' she said 'Though the world around me keeps changing. I am very primitive and old fashioned but that's how I am I don't feel the need to

A bowl is most useful when empty The world is so full How could it be useful? We have valued things that are not useful So do not gauge your value by your usefulness Gauge it by your fullness!

No one outside of you taught you how to breathe No one outside of you taught you how to hear No one outside of you taught you how to see No one outside of you taught you how to feel The one within who taught you all this Made you the innocent, sweet, all embracing toddler Spend some time with the one who taught you all this Your very first guide who accompanied you to Life Visit that one teacher once in a while Visit for a pause of gratitude and a refreshing smile!

Be vegetarian, eat the vegetable in you. Eat that which vegetates in you. Animate it!

I remember how you slipped into the shoes of my feet How you put on the trousers of my legs And slipped into my arms like the jacket sleeves You zipped up the jacket and left the place near the heart open Then when you wore the scarf of my hair You forgot to put on the mask of the Face!

Time and again you have devalued me Time and again I have come back to you To wed the first number And start the series anew The singles and the two-digit couples Or a family of digits three All of you shall need me to move on And grow your family tree 🎄 Divide anything by me and you have an infinite power Any number shall be number one raised to my power Try to multiply your valuables through me and you shall have nothing Do not judge me by the face, my place in your life means everything.

In the beginning was the Word And before that was Silence When Silence left One Word spoke to the other... "There is a radiance in your eyes And your lips hold some unspoken words When I see you I am speechless When you leave, there are only words!"

Don't expect the world to understand you First understand your Self Then understand the world  And only then can a little of you be understood by the world... And then, that much is more than enough!

तेरे पास लौटने की वजह नहीं कोई यहाँ ठहरने का बहाना भी नहीं शवास भर का अंतर है दोनों के बीच ये न हो तो मैं भी नहीं तू भी नही वजहों को लक्ष्य कह कर कब तक दौड़ते रहें लक्ष्य स्वयं ही दौड़ा फिरे तो पूर्ण कैसे होए ठहरे जल में ही दिखे बिंब पूर्ण आकार राह जब समाप्त हो तब दिखे घर का द्वार घर, द्वार, राह, वजह जब नहीं उत्साहें स्वयं ही स्वयं का लक्ष्य हो तब अदृश्य होती राहें खुद से खुद तक सफर करने को शवास की राह बनाए यह राह भी न रहे तो पथिक कौन और लक्ष्य कौन कहाए।।

Reaching for the limitless Yet rejoicing in limitations Enthused for the boundless Yet relaxing in the boundaries Seeking to meet Yet satiated in aloneness Seeing the duality Yet feeling the oneness Such is the merger of Infinite in Finite form

Walk not ahead of me, I may not follow Walk not behind me I may not lead anywhere Just walk with me And while we walk Let the road of this Adventure of Life unfold Let your eyes talk to mine Let them share some moments of smiles Let's not make sense of our journey Let's not try to understand it Let's not try to find if it's right or wrong Let's enjoy our adventure as it unfolds Until the time it starts enjoying us As we will eventually roll Come, let's set the destination to travel Come let's see the path unravel!

Tolerance is to silently say I like you even if you're not like me It isn't a repressive submission But a celebration of variety Tolerance means a larger heart A broader vision to see That which looks apart Is also part of me Tolerance makes you stronger And not your weaker Self As it includes and accepts all Like part of one Big Self #InternationalToleranceDay

The one who has chosen to wake through the night Through the darkness is bathed in light Radiant and waxing his way to being full Though his gravity is less, he has a strange pull A pull that moved millions of eyes And in his light dissolved their 'I's! #supermoon

SMILE: The best gift you can bring to someone... The safest infection The most affordable ornament to wear... And the easiest 'mile' to travel!

You are me, not mine I am you not thine! Create not a path and a distance along You are me, I am you is my heart's song You are me, not mine I am you not thine! To see the Self we created each other We love the Self when we love one another You are me, not mine I am you not thine! In the vast existence there would be nothing to do Had we been one instead of two Though this duality is unity in guise It prompts us to forget and think otherwise Until we have known that You are me not mine I am you not thine!

Listen, but don't overhear See, but don't overlook Because when things are over done They need to be done over!
