Being Positive



Being Positive
Does it pay to be positive all the time? I was just wondering why people insist that one should stay positive all the time. I am a happy go lucky girl but even I feel down sometimes and there are times when I just want to feel a teeny- weeny bit sorry for myself just give loads of sympathetic talk to my sorry self. It gives me excuse to do nothing and it can also give me excuse to eat chocolates which my trainer has strictly prohibited me. Sometimes I feel that all good things are related to sin. Why should bad girls have all the fun? Just imagine just for eating chocolates one has to feel sad and lonely. Is it fair?
Anyhow, am reading ‘The breakthrough experience” by Dr D’martini. The book says that we should live a balanced life and should be able to see opportunity in every crisis and disaster in every elated moment. Until we see the balance in life we can’t be grateful and unless we are in deep gratitude life will keep attracting what we are trying to avoid by always trying for what we perceive is good for us. Interesting point. But I am absolutely sure that things will be real dull if we are not experiencing elation or depression. I am grateful for such a beautiful life that I have but at the same time I keep having moments of extreme joy and disturbing worries. I wonder how can one feel deep gratitude when things are not as per one’s plans.

Anyway, I am really positive nowadays as I have been on diet for a month now. My trainer is not letting me eat normal meals leave aside chocolates and hence there is no option but to be happy;)

When a chatterbox became silent

“I am going for Vipassana!”, I told one of my friends. “Really? Will you be able to stay without speaking for ten days?”. Anyone who knows me, knows what kind of a chatterbox I am. Speaking and being open about my feelings to anyone and everyone comes easy to me. Although I know fully well that it makes me vulnerable but then trusting people also is one of my qualities. Anyway, my decision to go to Vipassana, a ten days meditation course came as a surprise to a few of my friends. This was not so much because they couldn’t think of me doing meditation but more because they couldn’t think of me being silent for a day, let alone for ten days!  Despite my dedication, I was afraid that I would chicken out at the last moment. I had done it five years back; I used my broken leg as an excuse. This time, however, I was determined to go and requested the center to prepone my course so that I did not have time for second thoughts. Luckily, they contacted me back and said that I could do

The Universe Within You

  Rule 17 : “The whole universe is contained within a single human being: you. Everything that you see around you, including the things you might not be fond of and even the people you despise or abhor, is present within you in varying degrees. Therefore, do not look for Sheitan outside yourself either. The devil is not an extraordinary force that attacks from without. It is an ordinary voice within. If you get to know yourself fully, facing with honesty and hardness both your dark and bright sides, you will arrive at a supreme form of consciousness. When a person knows himself or herself, he or she knows God.” I have been avoiding to write an explanation about this rule for a long time. Although it seems simple enough, I did not know how to approach this subject. Is it about how every relationship is a mirror of our own personality? Or, does it have a spiritual tangent and shows it a perspective of quantum physics which explains how microcosm is macrocosm? Every time when I start expl

Change and Constant

Rule 39: While the parts change, the whole always remains the same. For every thief who departs this world, a new one is born. And every descent person who passes away is replaced by a new one. In this way not only does nothing remains the same but also nothing ever really changes. For every Sufi who dies, another is born somewhere. Having lived with people from diverse cultures, I have realised that people and their emotions are essentially the same. Only the forms to express them change as indeed the cultures are diverse. This has always given me a base to interact with people without any inhibitions and prejudices. I feel that if I tap into the basic human emotions, I would find same kind of fountain of feelings everywhere, be it Iceland or Timbuktu. People have same needs, desires, fears, hopes and they act similarly to fulfil their desires.  So, when Shamz writes about the whole remaining the same while parts change, I think of it not only in spiritual terms but also in term
