तेरे मनाने को ही तो रूठ जाते हैं :

तेरे मनाने को ही तो रूठ जाते हैं
वरना तेरी तो हर बात प्यारी लगती है हमें

मौक़ा जिसे भी मिलता है वो पीता जरुर है, शायद मेरे लहू में मिठास बहुत है....

जितनी शिद्दत से उसने मुझे झख्म दिए हैं, इतनी शिद्दत से तो मैंने उसे चाह भी नहीं था...

शिकायत है उन्हें कि हमें मोहब्बत करना नही आता; शिकवा तो इस दिल को भी है; पर इसे शिकायत करना नहीं आता।

My silence doesn't mean that I quit. It simply means that I don't want to argue with people who just don't want to understand!

Knowingly We Dont Have Time To Help People, Unknowingly We Always Manage Time To Hurt People. Think Again. Its True.

मौक़ा जिसे भी मिलता है वो पीता जरुर है,
शायद मेरे लहू में मिठास बहुत है....

How to stay motivated:

*How to stay motivated ?*

In the jungle which animal is the biggest ........

I heard you say, Elephant.

In the jungle which animal is the tallest ........

I heard you say, Giraffe.

In the jungle which animal is the wisest ........

I heard you say, Fox.

In the jungle which animal is the fastest ........

I heard you say, Cheetahs.

Among all these wonderful qualities mentioned, where is the Lion in the picture.?

Yet, you say the Lion is the KING of the jungle even without ANY of these qualities.!!

Why??

Because...

The Lion is courageous,

The Lion is very bold,

The Lion is always ready to face any challenges, any barrier that crosses his path, no matter how big/bad they are.!!

The Lion walks with confidence. The Lion dares anything and is never afraid. The Lion believes he is unstoppable. The Lion is a risk taker. The Lion believes any animal is food for him. The Lion believes any opportunity is worth giving a try and never lets it slip from his hands. The Lion has charisma.!!

So...

- What is it that we get to learn from the Lion ??

• You don't need to be the fastest.

• You don't need to be the wisest.

• You don't need to be the smartest.

• You don't need to be the most brilliant.

• You don't need to be generally accepted to achieve your dreams and be great in life.!!

• All you need is  *Courage*

• All you need is  *The Boldness*

• All you need is *The will to try.*

• All you need is *The Faith to believe it is possible.*

• All you need is to  *Believe in yourself, that you can do it*.!!

It's TIME to *bring out the Lion in you*..!!

Letting go off Anger:

“You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger.” ~Buddha

Dealing with Other People’s Road Rage & Letting Go of Anger

It happens all the time…

You’re driving, listening to music, just enjoying life and the feel of the road. Then a car roars past you and the driver promptly swerves and cuts you off, seemingly oblivious to anything but his own destination.

Or, you come to a full stop at a stop sign and the driver behind you lays on the horn, impatient for you to get moving. Glancing in your rear view mirror, you see him flailing his arms and punching a raised fist at you behind his windshield.

Nearly every time you hit the road you will see another driver do something either discourteous or even downright dangerous.

Many times, you are the recipient of that behavior.

If you are anything like I used to be, your first impulse will be to lay on the horn, shout a curse, or put pedal to the metal and try to pass the guy and then cut him off.

Those of you who are less aggressive may at least find yourself wishing you’d come around the next bend and see the guy’s car off the road with a flat tire—or, better yet, see the bright flashing lights of a police cruiser whose uniformed driver has pulled your new worst enemy over.

It’s so easy to get angry. Not so easy to let it go.

As noted at the beginning of this post, the Buddha warned us that the punishment for anger is anger itself. He also said, “Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.”

How right he was.

As you shout curses at the driver, nearly rupturing a vein in your forehead, he has already left you in a cloud of dust. He has no idea you’re yelling. Or if he does, he probably doesn’t even care.

While you sit stewing and dreaming of his immanent intimacy with an overheated radiator (or, admit it, much worse!), he is long gone. But you are trapped in anger that will linger for a few minutes or may even ruin the rest of your day, clouding everything with the bitterness of the mood you fell into after the driving mishap.

Here’s the thing…

That anger is doing you no good.

It isn’t changing the situation.

Instead of shrugging it off and getting on with your life, you’re allowing that one discourteous act to take you from being happy and content to bitter and angry.

But what is a person to do? After all, the slight is perceived and the anger arises, unbidden.

I used to have that same struggle, but I found a cure and I can guarantee if you master this one simple technique, you’ll banish road rage to a cobwebbed corner of your mind where it will die a lonely death.

So what’s the trick, you ask?

As I indicated, it’s very simple (though not necessarily easy to master).

The next time another driver does something that provokes anger in you, do these seven things.

1.   Take a DEEP breath.

2.   Release it.

3.   Repeat.

4.   Now, imagine a person you dearly love.

5.   Imagine this person has just phoned and told you s/he is in desperate need of immediate assistance for an emergency situation and you are the only one who can offer aid.

6.   Imagine how you would be driving in that case.

7.   Now, imagine the person who just provoked you with his/her bad driving is in exactly that predicament.

8.   That’s it!

Initially, your mind may rebel.

You may reason it’s more likely the person is just being a jerk. That may be the case, but can you actually know that?

(And isn’t your angry response very “jerk-like” itself?)

Any number of situations could be at play in that person’s life.

Perhaps it’s a man whose wife is about to give birth and he wants to be by her side. Perhaps it’s a daughter whose father just had a heart attack and she needs to get to the hospital to see him. Or maybe it’s someone who just lost her job and feels distraught. Maybe, just maybe, it really is just someone being rude.

The fact remains that a response of anger on your part only further upsets you and can even lead to acts of violence in extreme cases of road rage.

Is it worth it?

How much better is it to do what I just suggested and then, in a peaceful frame of mind, wish that person well and safely home.

Wouldn’t this world be a better place if we could all do this one, simple thing?

संसार को राजी करना मुश्किल है:

एक साधू किसी नदी के पनघट पर गया और पानी पीकर पत्थर पर सिर रखकर सो गया

पनघट पर पनिहारिन आती-जाती रहती हैं
तो तीन-चार पनिहारिनें पानी के लिए आईं तो एक पनिहारिन ने कहा- "आहा! साधु हो गया, फिर भी तकिए का मोह नहीं गया...
पत्थर का ही सही, लेकिन रखा तो है।"

पनिहारिन की बात साधु ने सुन ली...
उसने तुरंत पत्थर फेंक दिया...
दूसरी बोली,"साधु हुआ, लेकिन खीज नहीं गई.. अभी रोष नहीं गया, तकिया फेंक दिया।" तब साधु सोचने लगा, अब वह क्या करें ?

तब तीसरी पनिहारिन बोली,"बाबा! यह तो पनघट है,
यहां तो हमारी जैसी पनिहारिनें आती ही रहेंगी, बोलती ही रहेंगी, उनके कहने पर तुम बार-बार परिवर्तन करोगे तो साधना कब करोगे?"

लेकिन एक चौथी पनिहारिन ने
बहुत ही सुन्दर और एक बड़ी अद्भुत बात कह दी-
"साधु, क्षमा करना, लेकिन हमको लगता है, तूमने सब कुछ छोड़ा लेकिन अपना चित्त नहीं छोड़ा है, अभी तक वहीं का वहीं बने हुए है।
दुनिया पाखण्डी कहे तो कहे, तूम जैसे भी हो, हरिनाम लेते रहो।" सच तो यही है, दुनिया का तो काम ही है कहना...

आप ऊपर देखकर चलोगे तो कहेंगे... "अभिमानी हो गए।"
नीचे देखकर चलोगे तो कहेंगे... "बस किसी के सामने देखते ही नहीं।"
आंखे बंद कर दोगे तो कहेंगे कि... "ध्यान का नाटक कर रहा है।"
चारो ओर देखोगे तो कहेंगे कि... "निगाह का ठिकाना नहीं। निगाह घूमती ही रहती है।"

और परेशान होकर आंख फोड़ लोगे तो यही दुनिया कहेगी कि... "किया हुआ भोगना ही पड़ता है।"

ईश्वर को राजी करना आसान है,
लेकिन संसार को राजी करना असंभव है
दुनिया क्या कहेगी, उस पर ध्यान दोगे तो
आप अपना ध्यान नहीं लगा पाओगे...

Create a heaven in someone's heart:

Its not important 2 go 2 heaven after v leave this world, Its more important 2 create a heaven in someone's heart before v leave this world!!!!

कभी तो चौंक के देखे कोई हमारी तरफ़,
किसी की आँख में हम को भी इंतिज़ार दिखे

"सच्चाई का सामना ऐसे कीजिए जैसे कि वह है,
न कि जैसा आप उसे होना चाहते हैं।"

जिंदगी में एक सफ़र ऐसा भी आया था,
जिसमें  पाँव नहीं, मेरा दिल थक गया था..

मिलना लिखा था सीधे हाथ की लकीरों में, बिछडना लिखा था उल्टे हाथ की लकीरों में  |
अच्छा बुरा वक्त देता है उल्टे सीधे अनुभव, फिर क्या रखा था, दोनों हाथ की लकीरों में||

"लोगों को आत्मविश्वास दिलाना ही सबसे ज़रूरी काम है जो मैं कर सकता हूं। क्योंकि तब वे स्वयं कर्म करेंगे।"

आज फिर देखा है मुझे किसी ने मोहोब्बत भरी निगाहों से.....
और एक बार फिर तेरी ख़ातिर मैंने अपनी निगाहें झुका ली

"दो और दो का जोड़ हमेशा
चार कहाँ होता है
सोच-समझवालों को थोड़ी
नादानी दे मौला"

यहाँ सब खामोश है कोई आवाज़ नहीं करता...
सच बोलकर कोई किसी को नाराज़ नहीं करता...!!

हमारे शौक की इन्तहा थी,
कदम रखा कि मंजिल रास्ता थी................

Help in all respect:

In 1892 at _Stanford University_ , an 18-year-old student was struggling to pay his fees. He was an orphan, and not knowing where to turn for money, he came up with a bright idea. He and a friend decided to host a musical concert on campus to raise money for their education.

They reached out to the great pianist *Ignacy J. Paderewski*. His manager demanded a guaranteed fee of $2000 for the piano recital. A deal was struck and the boys began to work to make the concert a success.
The big day arrived. But unfortunately, they had not managed to sell enough tickets. The total collection was only $1600. Disappointed, they went to *Paderewski* and explained their plight. They gave him the entire $1600, plus a cheque for the balance $400. They promised to honour the cheque at the soonest possible.

“No,” said *Paderewski*. “This is not acceptable.” He tore up the cheque, returned the $1600 and told the two boys: “Here’s the $1600. Please deduct whatever expenses you have incurred. Keep the money you need for your fees. And just give me whatever is left”. The boys were surprised, and thanked him profusely.
It was a small act of kindness. But it clearly marked out *Paderewski* as a great human being.
Why should he help two people he did not even know? We all come across situations like these in our lives. And most of us only think “If I help them, what would happen to me?” The truly great people think, “If I don’t help them, what will happen to them?” They don’t do it expecting something in return. They do it because they feel it’s the right thing to do.

*Paderewski* later went on to become the *Prime Minister of Poland*. He was a great leader, but unfortunately when the *World War* began, *Poland* was ravaged. There were more than _1.5 million people starving in his country, and no money to feed them_ . *Paderewski* did not know where to turn for help. He reached out to the *US Food and Relief Administration* for help.
He heard there was a man called *Herbert Hoover* — who later went on to become the *US President*. *Hoover* agreed to help and quickly shipped tons of food grains to feed the starving *Polish* people.
_A calamity was averted_. *Paderewski* was relieved.

He decided to go across to meet *Hoover* and personally thank him. When *Paderewski* began to thank *Hoover* for his _noble gesture_ *Hoover* quickly interjected and said, " *You shouldn’t be thanking me Mr. Prime Minister. You may not remember this, but several years ago, you helped two young students go through college. I was one of them* .”

_The world is a wonderful place. What goes around comes around. Please help others to the best of your ability. In the long run you may be helping yourself. God never forgets anyone who sows a good seed in other people, never_ . 

*Nothing in nature lives for itself. Rivers don't drink their own water. Trees don't eat their own fruit. Sun doesn't give heat for itself. Flowers don't spread fragrance for themselves. Living for others is the rule of nature. And therein lies the secret of living*

घंटो ख़ामोश रहना पड़ता है:

घंटों ख़ामोश रहना पड़ता है, आप के साथ बोलने के लिए
ख़त्म होता नहीं फूलों का सफ़र,
रोज़ इक शाख़ हिला देता हूँ

"If you can, help others; if you cannot do that, at least do not harm them."

जब शाम उतरती है क्या दिल पे गुज़रती है
साहिल ने बहुत पूछा ख़ामोश रहा पानी

रिश्तों की परिभाषा न समझी कभी,न ही भावार्थ जान सके।बस शब्द में ही अटककर शब्दजाल में खो गए।वरना जानते रिश्ता मात्र एक शब्द नहीं पूरा ग्रंथ है

आदमी को सिर्फ वहम है, पास उसके ही इतना गम है,
पूछो हंसते हुए चेहरों से, आंख भीतर से कितनी नम है।

अपनी मिट्टी ही पे चलने का सलीक़ा सीखो,
संग-ए- मरमर पे चलोगे तो फिसल जाओगे

"हम बाहरी दुनिया में तब तक शांति नहीं पा सकते हैं जब तक कि हम अन्दर से शांत न हों।"

''ज़िन्दगी'' तू ही बता कैसे प्यारे करूँ तुझे ,
तेरी हर एक सुबह मेरी उम्र कम कर देती है

"प्रसन्न रहना ही हमारे जीवन का उद्देश्य है।"

"क्रोध मूर्खों के ही दामन में बसता है।"

"जो छोटे मसलों में सच को गंभीरता से नहीं लेता, उस पर बड़े मसलों में भी भरोसा नहीं किया जा सकता।".

"अफ़सोस तो है तेरे बदल जाने का मगर,
तेरी कुछ बातों ने मुझे जीना सिखा दिया..."

पत्थर" मंदिर में जा कर "भगवान" बन जाता हैं,  'लेकिन'
"मानव" नित्य मंदिर जा कर भी "पत्थर" क्यों बन जाता हैं

एक शख़्स देखा है मैंने आइने में,
ख़फ़ा दुनिया से है बात ख़ुद से नहीं करता

उलझा के कुछ देर सवालो मे उनको,
हमने जी भर के देख लिया उनको...

हर आदमी में होते हैं दस बीस आदमी
जिस को भी देखना हो कई बार देखना

कभी तो चौंक के देखे कोई हमारी तरफ़,
किसी की आँख में हम को भी इंतिज़ार दिखे

"सच्चाई का सामना ऐसे कीजिए जैसे कि वह है,
न कि जैसा आप उसे होना चाहते हैं।"
