πΌ Measure Life by Its Blossoms πΌ
Life becomes richer when we focus on what blooms rather than what withers. Just as a garden is best appreciated through its vibrant blossoms, our own journey feels lighter when we choose to see what is growing, bright, and alive within it.
A garden full of flowers reminds us that beauty is always present, even if some leaves fall along the way. The fallen leaves are simply part of the cycle, not the definition of the whole garden. In the same way, the small setbacks in life should never overshadow the goodness that continues to unfold.
Each day offers moments of gold—those warm, shining hours when something uplifts us, teaches us, or stays in our memory as a blessing. These are the hours worth counting and holding close, for they shape the story of our days more than any passing shadow.
Clouds will come, of course, drifting in and dimming the light for a while. But clouds move on. They never stay forever. By choosing not to cling to them, we allow ourselves to feel the sunshine more fully when it returns.
Perspective is everything. When we decide to value what brings joy, inspiration, and peace, life begins to feel more generous. Our inner garden becomes a place of color instead of worry, hope instead of regret.
Gratitude acts as the water that helps these flowers grow. Every time we notice a small kindness, a moment of comfort, or a simple success, we plant another seed of joy that blossoms later when we need it most.
So, count your life by the beauty you cultivate, not by the troubles that fall away. Let each day be measured by brightness, kindness, and growth—by the flowers that continue to bloom in the garden of your heart.
π The Gita: A Timeless Guide to Mastering the Inner World π
The Bhagavad Gita is far more than an ancient spiritual text; it is a profound manual for understanding and managing the most intricate instrument known to humanity—the human personality. Its wisdom shows the path to three universal aspirations: material achievement, inner contentment, and the unfolding of one’s highest potential. These often feel contradictory, as success may seem to cost peace, and personal growth feels distant. Yet the Gita integrates all three, offering a blueprint for a truly balanced and fulfilled life.
Within every individual, a quiet war is constantly being fought. The impulsive mind pulls us toward comfort, pleasure, and ease, while the reasoning intellect pushes us toward discipline, clarity, and long-term welfare. One part of you wants to sleep in; another urges you to rise and exercise. One part reaches for dessert; another points patiently toward healthier choices. This tug-of-war is ancient and universal. The question is: which force deserves your trust?
The Gita’s answer is simple yet transformative—cultivate a strong, discerning intellect. Allow every impulse to pass through its lens. A refined intellect doesn’t rob you of joy; it guides you toward deeper, more sustainable satisfaction. It knows when indulgence is harmless and when it compromises your long-term well-being. Celebration after finishing a major task is perfectly fine, but celebration before completing it leads to regret. When the mind dominates, momentary pleasure replaces lasting happiness.
Equally essential is the ability to maintain a calm mind. A still mind sharpens the intellect; a disturbed one clouds even the brightest thinker. What disturbs the mind most is excessive self-focus. When thoughts revolve endlessly around “me” and “mine,” agitation rises, fueled further by desire and constant consumer pressure. Only a vigilant intellect can restrain desire. Gratitude and service shift the attention from acquiring to contributing, restoring mental peace.
From this serenity comes excellence. The Gita emphasizes selfless action—work surrendered to a higher purpose. Self-centered goals produce mediocrity, while great achievements are born from dedication beyond personal gain. Legends like Don Bradman, Ustad Bismillah Khan, and Tagore pursued excellence out of deep love and devotion, not for reward. When talent is viewed as a divine gift, action becomes an offering, and perfection follows naturally.
Ultimately, the Gita’s highest teaching is the vision of unity. When one recognizes the same divine essence in oneself and in others, the illusion of separation dissolves. Unity turns effort into joy, transforms individuals into powerful teams, and elevates one into a truly inspiring personality.
IF HE EXIST
I drive joy there was a doctor in Benaras who spent 7 minutes in the morning and evening for mediation on God. Knowing this, his colleagues and friends laughed at him. One day they argued that he was wasting 7 precious minutes on something, which he had been misled into believing. The doctor replied, “Well, if God does not exist, I agree that I am wasting 7 minutes a day. But, if He exists? I am afraid you are wasting your entire lifetime. I prefer to waste 7 minutes rather than a lifetime. Why should you grudge me the 7minutes joy that I derive 4m.-
