Work for your purpose and not desires


One of the signs of creating..is that you loose sense of time.You also feel that nothing is more important than this purpose.This Purpose has a bigger meaning than your whole life put together.The thought of this purpose energizes you and you get meaning of your life...Through this purpose whatever you do sometimes become a Creation
Work is to be done to satisfy your needs and desires.We all have needs of body and we have desires of mind. Most of our life is around these needs and desires...but if through these desires we are trying to find meaning of our life..we will remain unfulfilled most of our life...Completion of desires gives us momentarily happiness and a long wait for "waiting to be happy." or a feeling of  "incompleteness "

Fiction is a lie, and good fiction is the truth inside the lie.” ~ Stephen King

Find a subject you care about and which you in your heart feel others should care about. It is this genuine caring, not your games with language, which will be the most compelling and seductive element in your style.” ~ Kurt Vonnegut

Repeating lines which I read somewhere  "You may not be a Picasso or Mozart but you don’t have to be. Just create to create. Create to remind yourself you’re still alive. Make stuff to inspire others to make something too. Create to learn a bit more about yourself.”

Love this book by Paul Cohelo - The Valkyries

Just felt like sharing few lines from a book by Paul Cohelo which I started reading
  • Anything that occurs once can never occur again. But, should it happen twice, it will surely happen a third time. 
  • And each man kills the thing he loves,Some do it with a bitter look,Some with a flattering word,The coward does it with a kiss,The brave man with a sword. 
  • I have wound up destroying what I've loved. I've seen my dreams fall apart just when I seemed about to achieve them. I always thought that was just the way life was. My life and everyone Else's.
The last line above as well reminds me of a very old  I remember famous Urdu words from one of my teacher - 

Qismat ki khoobi dekhiye tooti kahan kamnd
Do char haath hee jab lab-e-baam reh gaya

  • He quit his job again (a mania for leaving everything behind). He gave no explanation, saying only that he was fed up with what he was doing.He also said that it didn't make sense to keep quitting his jobs, changing one for another. He needed to discover what it was that he wanted. They had put some money aside, and had decided to do some traveling. 
  • Have you ever had the feeling, at certain moments in your life, that someone was observing what you were doing?  How did you know ? - I just know. There are moments when, without really knowing it, we are aware of the presence of someone 
  • We begin to create a kind of film in which we are the main character, and we are certain that someone is observing our actions.But then, as we get older, we begin to think that such things are ridiculous. We think of it as having been just a child's fantasy of being a movie actor. We forget that, at those moments in which we are presenting ourselves before an invisible audience, the sensation of being observed was very strong.

Does Life has a beginning or an end ?

Nature has answers to most of the questions which come in human mind.Nature as well have been an inspiration to most of the innovators and inventions..Our scientists and spiritual teachers the most famous one being Buddha have compared Life with a river....The insight which Buddha got while watching a river were similar to what Newton got while watching a apple fall...My memories of what I read earlier got revived while reading one of the Paul Cohelo's books last week
Many of us sometime do had questions about life and where we were before birth and where we will go after death.. While watching a river flow,Buddha said that river too is like life..where this river was before it took the form of a river  and where it will go after it will disappear in sea.So where river was before it took shape of a river and where it will go when it disappear in sea....Appearing and Disappearing of life and river is similar to death and birth..but life and river were always there in another form...Also law of conservation of energy.Energy can neither be created nor be destroyed..It just transforms or changes forms...River becomes vapor in clouds and Clouds become rain and it becomes snow..and then becomes river... .So clouds are like soul of river in case there is something called soul otherwise we can say life transforms  into another life...like river transform as cloud All elements of human body after death go where they belong to 
Life is all around us not only in human beings and it was always there even when human beings were not there. 
Quoting from Paul Cohelo's book - Rivers that have just been reborn in the sea. They will rise to the sky, and remain there until, for whatever reason, they once again become rain and fall to earth.The rivers return to the mountains, but carry with them the wisdom of the sea. That is how you discovered those secrets we had never discussed. You are a river.You have already run down to the sea, and you know its wisdom. You have died and been reborn many times. All you have to do is remember .

If only I could have defined Life & Human beings !!


  • How about Life is one of God's jokes, and we work to make it a good joke instead of a bad one...
  • Life is all about Living and through Living you get experience ...Now the challenge with Experience is that it is a hard teacher. It gives the test first and the lessons afterwards
  • Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own
  • Life exists only in the present moment. The past is gone, the future is not yet here, and if we are not in touch with ourselves in the present moment, we cannot be in touch with life
  • Life must be lived as it comes along. By living our lives one day at a time, we live all of the days of our lives
  • Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way. We cannot go back and start a new beginning,but on any day we can make a fresh start toward a new ending
  • The doors we open and close each day will decide the kind of lives we will lead
  • To see what’s in front of one’s nose requires a constant struggle
  • Heaven or hell is not determined by the direction in which we travel, but by the person we have become when we arrive
  • No one grows old by living, only by losing interest in living
  • The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it
  • Three things in human life are important: The first is to be kind. The second is to be kind. And the third is to be kind
  • The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good
  • Sometimes if you want to see a change for the better, you have to take things into your own hands
