MY IDOL

Till recent past I was thinking, I am flawless, I am complete in all types of endeavours ; I
can succeed, but I was wrong.

It is said that "FAILURE IS THE STEPPING STONE OF SUCCESS". Till today, I have encountered many failures, just because my thinking was wrong.

Nobody told me the reasons of my failures, I was the best judge to judge it

On one beautiful dawn, someone entered in my life, to show a ray of hope, but still HUN AHDHAKAR NI GARTA MA DHAKELAYELI JA HATI.

She whispered to me................................................................

"I KNOW YOU", WAKE UP MY DEAR
" ITS ME"

I got up, poped up here and there

But still I didn't get her, I didn't get her.....................................................
I cried.................................. I begged, come before me......................................... I wish to greet you,

NO REPLY.........

I became hopeless, where is she? Why I didn't recognise her?

I was betrayed

You may ask why,

Simply because its my own innerself, its my IDOL - MY SOUL.

Now I know, why I was a failure, as I didn't recognise my self, my SOUL

IT INSPIRED ME TO WRITE ON IT,

I HOPE YOU WILL LIKE IT

Someone summons my heart
Digging my inner depths,
Absorbing in herself,
Asking myself-WHO ARE YOU?
FOR WHOM ARE YOU?

Standing uncovetous answerlessly,
Observing medemoiselle sinless infouvately,

She answers me- I’m you
You are me
Ah! but a what a pity- I know u
You don’t know me,

Asking my self thinkingly
Feeling myself guilty,
Rendering at her humbly
Considering me selfless kind heartedly
Showering herself oceanly


Responding me-I’m in you
You are in me

Thought it as a dream
But fruited as reality
Compelled me to think consciously and cautiously

Who was she? Me, you?
No, she was not me or you

She was something different
That can’t be mentioned
My dear friends can you guess?

she was your own mirror, your own inner wards
Only and only “THE SOUL”

[My dear friends, no one is flawless or complete in its own. Having the existence on this earth itself interprets that you are incomplete in some respect. I strongly feel, if you are egoistic, if you cannot deal the life, then it is definite that you are not going to REALIZE YOUR SOUL. SOUL IS THE BEST IDOL OF EVERY INDIVIDUAL;FEEL HIM; HEAR THE VOICE OF YOUR SOUL, AND THEN SEE, SUCCESS WILL BE AT YOUR FOOTSTEP].

This article is dedicated to an anonymous friend of mine, who has showed me a path to realize my own falsehoods, due to which, I have realized my self .

THE STAGE YOU BELONG TO

“IN THE ANIMAL, THE MAN WAS SUPPRESSED, BUT AS SOON AS THE DOOR WAS OPENED, OUT RUSHED MAN. SO IN MAN THERE IS POTENTIAL GOD KEPT IN BY THE LOCKS AND BARS OF IGNORANCE. WHEN KNOWLEDGE BREAKS THESE BARS, THE GOD BECOMES MANIFEST. AND THERE IS NOTHING UNDER THE SUN, WHICH AN AWAKENED SOUL CANNOT ACHIEVE. THE NEED IS TO AWAKEN THE HIGHER SELF, THE GOD, IN MAN”
(from :Raja yoga)

While reading “Ignited Minds” by Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, in the very first chapter ‘The Dream and the Message’, he has mentioned about the five different stages of the individual’s life. By quoting Dr. Wayne W. Dyer ‘ s “Manifest Your Destiny”. It talks about the different stages viz.
Athlete Stage
Warrior Stage
Big brother stage
Self Realization stage
The first Athlete stage embarks the individual’s energetic performance and achievements.

Warrior stage depicts the proud state of an individual for its own achievements and always tries to make prove itself far more superior then others. During this, the individuals remain busy for achieving the goals, which generates anxiety.

Big brother stage depicts with the maturity of an individual, which transforms from a self-ego to the Nation’s patriotism and a passion for the Nation

Above all is the Self Realization stage which once again transforms from state of nation’s realization to the Global realization - “VASUDHEV KUTUMBKAM”– I DO NOT BELONG TO SINGLE NATION, THE EARTH IS MY HOME AND ITS PEOPLE AND ARE MY FAMILY. If a person achieves this stage, he is no longer remain in the himself, he sees himself as a part of the world, where he will perform all the tasks in germane to the human welfare.

In this competitive and self centered world, we the Youth are required to think, at what stage we belong to , should we still remain within ourselves, just to be a slave of our mind , do we like to continue what our mind directs OR we wish to awaken the HIGHER SELF WITHIN US, THE GOD IN HUMAN TO FOLLOW “VASUDHEV KUTUMBKAM”.

Similarly, true holds for the Nation as well. Swami Vivekananda has said

“ 03 things are necessary to make every man great, every nation great. (1) Conviction of the powers of goodness, (2) absence of jealousy and suspicion and (3) Helping all who are trying to be and do well.
The above quotation surpasses the warrior stage and directly leads the nation to the Big brother. Already India has proud for its achievements in the IT Sector, Science and Technology, our ancient civilization. What is required is now the transformation from Big brother to Self- Realization Stage. But it can be possible when

THE FAITH IN OURSELVES WILL BE REAWAKENED

To regenerate this faith , we must reawaken our higher self, which will ultimately transform our Nation to self Realization stage.

Hence , by an integrated approach of every national, the country can be put to a height of Self Realization Stage.

"Who am I?"

Hello Friends,

Perhaps WHO AM I is the most confusing question to search for our own identity.During my sophomere and furher at graduation I realised about my existence on this earth. Perhaps I'm just an actor on this world stage to act and then to depart .No this is not the case, .Eventhough, Charles Darwin has propounded the existence of best adapetd species, I believe that every species on the earth has its own significance, irrespective of its knowledge to humans. I once read about the famous Indian Saint Ramana Maharshi who answered above narrated question "AHAM BRAHMASMI". It means that I'm brahma. Every living and non-living object in the world consists of Brahma and is a part of Brahma, the final supreme authority to govern the world. Hence, according to him, even a microscopic non-living matter has a significance. Nothing goes waste in the nature. Famous Gujarati bhajan wrote by Narsinh Mehta reveals " Tej ma tatva tu" ( tatva does not refer to any corporeal material-it is the essence and gist of the soul). When a person will start looking at himself as AHAM BRAHMASMI or when he'll realize about his own gist of soul, then only he can answer " WHO AM I"?

Can you suggest me a better option for searching my own or yourselve's identity?
