Why do we Suffer in our lives?

 "Peace of Mind" is the general reply we tend to get when we ask people about their ultimate goal in life these days.

Do they really believe it? Well, most of them say it to look smart, cultured, even under peer pressure, and due to several other factors. Correct me if I am wrong!!
But even the few of them who really think attaining Peace opens a whole "new" dimension of experience, are in fact lying to themselves.
The present generation has far more resources at their helm as compared to their forefathers? But, can we say we are more peaceful than them today? If not, why is "peace of mind" still a luxury or fantasy that we dream of?
Not trying to think a lot ahead of ourselves, let's try few simple examples.
** Can one eat in a foreign land if one is not peaceful within themselves?
** Can one sleep in a trekking camp somewhere in the middle of the jungle, if one is not peaceful?
The point is - being "Peaceful" is the minimum requirement for us to get literally anything done in the right manner, and we keep chasing this so-called *Peace of Mind* all the time in vain instead.
Well, surprise! We already have attained it, at multiple times in our lives (just go through the examples stated above), completely unaware, because we only perceive the physicality of it.
The only problem is - we don't know how to sustain this *Peace of Mind* for long. The reasons are many - distractions, lack of focus, but every single one of them points ultimately to the fact that we perceive just the physical aspect of it.
It's the root cause of all our sufferings - why we have so many emotional drifts, why we behave a certain way around a certain set of people. As per me, if we have already attained peace at a certain point in time, we should be able to replicate it across every other such instance of life experience. But, we somehow are unable to do that!
Unlocking this mystery is the real challenge for me, and I guess for everyone else too.

Colors Of Hindustan..

HI FRIENDS, Now we all know how really great our country india is...no matter how issues like corruption and poor politics have ruined it a lot....we all know deep inside that its a totally different feeling to be an indian...and today to salute the spirit of indianism, i've got something in praise of the "GOLDEN BIRD" of all times....happy reading!! Risen from the mists of black, its history moulded in gold... Truly, ain't no color...in which india may hold... On to an art, a poem, a verse, its diversities so diverse.... that simply sums up its greatness, and the greatness is all hers... Red-stained soldiers,who battle for their motherland... "Magnificient Masons" that build a show out of unblended sand... "Greeny tea-pluckers", ah! what aroma they bring... like the sweet fresh wind, which blows in the spring..... in fiction and in fact, ther's no box intact.... that contains India's true colors, and it remains a fact....

"..." Ka Matlab Kya Hai??

Kisi Ansuljhi Paheli Ki tarah, Koi ansuni Baat Ho jaese, Baaton ki ladi jab chhoot jaaye peechhe, To fir "..." ka matlab kya hai?? Kya reh gayi kasar tumhaare unn Alfaazon mein, Ya yun hi hamein "Tarrkaane" ka iraada hai?? Ya beeti baaton, bhooli-bisri yaadon mein, Kucch pal ko kho jaane ka koi bahaana hai ye!! Kucch kehna tha tumko, par shayad wo keh na paaye ho, Aur kisi "T.V Serial" Ki tarah Isse "To Be Continued" sa rehne diya. Ya shayad "Takiya Kalaam" sa hai tumhaara. Nahi chhotega ab, jo ekk baar hai tumne pakad liya. Chalo maan liya ki ye mordern duniya ki koi reet hi sahi, Par fir bhi kya ye cheez itni jaruri thi?? Mushkil haalaton mein "Humor" ka ras bharne waale, Zaroor iss baar tumhari Koi majboori to thi. Tumhari iss khamoshi se acchi "Guitar" ki Jhankaar hai, Kam-se-Kam bajti hai, to Bhaav-Vibhor kar deti hai. Lekin sach to ye bhi hai, ki teri ye "Poorna-Viraam-Ladi" Bi

Let Success Make The Noise

It's strange, things which appear dormant to us, from within are for real, alive and running, And all that when we know, it's all as it seems, who would've thought the nature is this cunning?? The volcano boils and simmers from the inside, And doesn't yet flaunt its mighty rage, And it wouldn't take any logic to admit, That the wild,frantic sun we know,is the world's holy sage. A dead,leafless Oak in the autumn, knows, Cometh the spring, it will rejoice, Slaves of the war, chained to their destinies, when given a chance, sing harmonies in their full voice. Even a honeybee toils, for life on this earth, when all we could see that it could just fly, and a caterpillar ages old in its cocoon, we still just don't care when we see it, oh why?? The world has a theory of "Break,and get broken", But to try to change it, i wouldn't call it wise, It's what they'll probably teach you to do too, So, work hard in silence for what you aim to
