I am grateful to......



Lots of people pray but all they do is ask for favors from God. When they are sad, they ask for happiness. When they are poor, they ask for wealth. I believe that the part of prayer in which they ask for something is actually wasted because God knows what we want, what we deserve. We don't have to ask for it. He will give it to us when the time comes.

Thank Him for all that you have. Close eyes and count everything that you have. Name the people who have done favors for you. Remember the opportunities that were given to you. Smile while you pray, believe that you have everything that you deserve. Have faith in deeds, believe that all you have is because of your deeds and blessings of God.

Gratefulness is a virtue of the kind soul. Be grateful for everything anyone does for you even if it's the smallest of the favor. Instead of counting the times when you were not helped or were hurt, count the times when you were helped. Drop your ego and be thankful to God, the universe, your loved ones and every single soul that touched your life.

maafi plzz....


My math’s teacher often used to say "I can forgive but I can't forget". This line used to fascinate me because it had the softness of forgiveness and hardness of an unforgettable hurt. So, used to forgive anyone who hurt me but I never forget it. Later, I realized that by not forgetting, I am actually not forgiving but indebting the person with the false fact that: I forgive you. Saying that ‘I can forgive but not forget’ is just another way of saying ‘I won’t forgive’.

Resentment and revenge are evils, not for the one whom the other is against, but for the one who holds these unworthy emotions. They eat your soul like termites. They kill your peace of mind and never let you be free from your self created false self called ego. How can a wound on a false object be real? No one can hurt you, only you hurt yourself by keeping the pain close to yourself deliberately. Only you can hurt yourself by believing that the ego which got hurt is real.

Forgiveness is a virtue, virtue of a great person who lives freely. To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you. If you forgive but remember that you forgave, your ego still feeds on the fact that you forgave, you are still not free. To be truly free, you have to forgive and forget.

Too good to be true?


Often you say to yourself 'it's too good to be true'. I can think of only two situations when someone says these words:
1) when you get something you don't deserve
2) when your life has become bullshit and you can't believe in anything that is good

In either of the case, you make yourself repel the 'good' situation and turn your back from happiness. You subconciously whisper to the universe 'it's too good to be true, it's false, it's not real, take it away from me, I don't want unreal stuff'. And universe gives you what you ask for.

Believe that you deserve happiness, love and everything that is beautiful. Only then you will get what you want. Don't think of what you don't want. Think of what you want. Life will become better. It worked for me. I hope it works for everyone because universe has plenty for all of us.
