Time of Healing

You said I must wait.

I waited.

You said I must be patient with you.

I was patient.

You said if our love was true,

Time didn't matter.

But it did.

I guess time ran out

When you left with another.

You turned our time together,

into a time of pain and heartbreak.

Now a new time has begun,

A time of healing,

If I can heal.

This awful feeling

It consumes me.

Of your betrayal

I love you, 

I hate you.

All I want to say is

Good Bye.

Spiritual Laws by Swami Vivekanand

• Love is the Law of Life : All love is expansion, all selfishness is contraction. Love is therefore the only law of life. He who loves lives, he who is selfish is dying. Therefore, love for love's sake, because it is law of life, just as you breathe to live. 
• It’s Your Outlook that Matters : It is our own mental attitude, which makes the world what it is for us. Our thoughts make things beautiful, our thoughts make things ugly. The whole world is in our own minds. Learn to see things in the proper light. 
• Life is Beautiful : First, believe in this world - that there is meaning behind everything. Everything in the world is good, is holy and beautiful. If you see something evil, think that you do not understand it in the right light. Throw the burden on yourselves! 
• It’s the way You Feel : Feel like Christ and you will be a Christ; feel like Buddha and you will be a Buddha. It is feeling that is the life, the strength, the vitality, without which no amount of intellectual activity can reach God. 
• Set Yourself Free : The moment I have realized God sitting in the temple of every human body, the moment I stand in reverence before every human being and see God in him - that moment I am free from bondage, everything that binds vanishes, and I am free. 
• Don’t play the Blame Game: Condemn None : If you can stretch out a helping hand, do so. If you cannot, fold your hands, bless your brothers, and let them go their own way. 
• Help Others : If money helps a man to do good to others, it is of some value; but if not, it is simply a mass of evil, and the sooner it is got rid of, the better.
• Uphold Your Ideals : Our duty is to encourage every one in his struggle to live up to his own highest idea, and strive at the same time to make the ideal as near as possible to the Truth. 
• Listen to Your Soul : You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.
• Be Yourself : The greatest religion is to be true to your own nature. Have faith in yourselves! 
• Nothing is Impossible : Never think there is anything impossible for the soul. It is the greatest heresy to think so. If there is sin, this is the only sin - to say that you are weak, or others are weak. 
• You have the Power : All the powers in the universe are already ours. It is we who have put our hands before our eyes and cry that it is dark. 
• Learn everyday : The goal of mankind is knowledge. Now this knowledge is inherent in man. No knowledge comes from outside: it is all inside. What we say a man 'knows', should, in strict psychological language, be what he 'discovers' or 'unveils'; what man 'learns' is really what he discovers by taking the cover off his own soul, which is a mine of infinite knowledge. 
• Be Truthful : Everything can be sacrificed for truth, but truth cannot be sacrificed for anything. 
• Think Different : All differences in this world are of degree, and not of kind, because oneness is the secret of everything.

Falling in Love is the Best Thing in Life

Love is when -

He starts getting serious about his life,

and she stops thinking about It.

He starts saving money to spend only for her,

and she never stops spending on herself.

He stops smoking, drinking just for her,

and she starts alarming about not to have them.

He starts getting crazy on her every move,

and she starts realizing how beautiful is she for someone.

He starts telling her every little thing,

and she starts talking about useless things.

He stops sleeping just to have a little talk with her,

and she starts sacrificing her sleep just to let him do so.

He starts taking her as if she is his wife,

and she starts learning to cook food just to prove it true.

He stops looking at other girls,

and she starts getting serious about her own looks.

He gets emotional while reading this text,

and she smiles for the same.

Sachal Sarmast

The name Sachal Sarmast can be translated as Ecstatic Saint of Truth. He is sometimes called Sachoo, The Truthful.

Sachal Sarmast was born in the Sindh region of what is today Pakistan, and is considered one of the great poets and Sufi mystics to emerge from the region. 

His teachings have often been compared with al-Hallaj, the Sufi martyr who ecstatically proclaimed, "I am the Truth." Rather than blindly following tradition, Sachal urged people to seek the truth directly. And like ibn Arabi and others, Sachal Sarmast taught a vision of Unity called Wahdat al-Wujud, which others have compared to the great nondualist teachings of Advaita Vedanta within Hinduism and Zen/Chan within Buddhism.

Sachal Sarmast once said, "He (God) is everywhere and in each and every phenomenon. He has come here just to witness His own manifestation." 

Sachal Sarmast was born Abdul Wahab in the village of Daraza in the Sindh region. His father died when he was a young child, and Abdul Wahab was raised by his uncle, who also became his spiritual master.

His soul was deeply moved by music. Listening to music, he was often enraptured, tears pouring down his face. 

Sachal Sarmast married, but the young woman died two years later. He never remarried.

He took the name Sachal, Truth. Later people added Sarmast, Leader of the Ecstatics, to his name in appreciation of his spiritual poetry. 

Sachal Sarmast lived a humble, ascetic life, preferring solitude, simple meals of daal and yogurt. It is said that he never left Daraza, the village of his birth. Yet he composed sacred poetry in seven different languages, poetry that is loved and sung to this day.

Translations of His Poetry

Friend, this is the only way

to learn the secret way:

Ignore the paths of others,

even the saints' steep trails.

Don't follow.

Don't journey at all.

Rip the veil from your face.

I search in the streets, I cast my sights,

The path of joy may someone behold,

The path of joy may someone behold,

How can I hide my nature, and show myself as another!

To know another is sin, every form is God Himself.

Neither did I roll rosary, nor did I ponder and pray,

I went to no mosque or temple, nor bow in adoration to any,

Sachal is lucky everyday, love is all around him.

”Tis not in religion I believe

'Tis love I live in.

When love comes to you.

Say Amen!

We are, what are we?

We know not, what we are!

For a moment we are blessed

For a moment we are accursed

Some moment we pray and fast

Some moment we are free spirits

Now we declare, 'Only we exist'

Now we declare, 'We don't exist'

For a bit, our heart is calm

In a bit, we weep rivers

Now we say, 'We are self-realized'

Now we ask, 'Who are we?'

'Sachal' we are only that eternally

what other contracts can we make here?

What is Love?

Do you know, what is pain?

    - Seeing your loved one with someone else.

Want to know, what is love?

    - Look into the eyes of your loved one after a tight hug.

Want to know, what is worse?

    - Imagine your loved one leaving you forever.

Want to know how fertile life is?

    - Imagine a life without your loved one.

Want to know, what is irritating?

    - To see someone irritating your love.

 Want to know, what is hurting?

    - When you realize, you hurt your loved one with your behaviour.

Want to know who you love?

   - Its that person whom you are thinking about while reading this. 

I Look at You

Yeah when my world is falling apart,

When there's no light to break up the dark,

That's when I

I look at you.

When the waves,

Are flooding the shore and I can't

Find my way home anymore,

That's when I

I look at you.

When I look At You I see forgiveness,

I see the truth.

You love me for who I am.

Like the stars Hold the moon,

Right there where they belong

And I know I'm not alone.

I see love being with you.

I cry for you every time. 

I walk around going mad. 

Missing everything of you 

I love you! 

Great Sacrifice from Father

One day an 11 year old girl asked her daddy,
"What are you going to get me for my 15th birthday?"
The father replied, "There is much time left."
When the girl was 14 she fainted and was rushed to the hospital.
The doctor came out and told her dad she had a bad heart and she is probably going to die.
When she was lying in the hospital bed she said
"Daddy, Have they told you I am going to die?"
The father replied no you will live as he left weeping.
She said "How can you be sure."
He turned around from the door and said "I know."
She turns 15 when she is recovering and comes home to find a letter on her bed. It says :

"My Dearest Daughter, if you are reading this it means all went well as I told you. One day you asked me what I was giving you for your 15th birthday, I did not know then but now my present to you is a My Heart."

Her father donated his heart to her daughter.

Moral - Blessed indeed is the man who hears many gentle voices call him father.

This story showed that father is first man who loves her daughter more than Himself.

I am not Angry

I'm not angry because we broke up,

I'm sad because I can't let you go....

I'm not angry at you for not loving me,

I'm angry with me for still loving you.....

I'm not angry that I lost you,

I'm sad because I once had you......

I'm not angry that you've moved on,

I'm sad because I can't......

I'm not angry that you won't come back,

I'm sad because I keep hoping you will.

I hate Love

Have you ever been in love? Horrible, is not it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses. You build up a whole suit of armor so nothing can hurt you. Then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life. You give them a piece of you. They did not ask for it. They did something dumb one day like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life is not your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness. So simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt. A real gets inside you and rips you apart pain. I hate love.

~ Neil Gaiman

To a Stranger

Passing stranger! You do not know,

How longingly I look upon you,

You must be he I was seeking,

Or she I was seeking.

(It comes to me as a dream)

I have somewhere surely,

Lived a life of joy with you,

All is recalled as we flit by each other,

Fluid, affectionate, chaste, matured.

You grew up with me, 

Were a boy with me or a girl with me,

I ate with you and slept with you, your body has become

not yours only nor left my body mine only.

You give me the pleasure of your eyes,

face, flesh as we pass,

You take of my beard, breast, hands,

in return.

I am not to speak to you, I am to think of you,

when I sit alone or wake at night, alone,

I am to wait, I do not doubt I am to meet you again.

I am to see to it that I do not lose you.

by Walt Whitman (1819 - 1892)

Cruel Reality of Love

Truth love or spiritual love is better topic for poem, movies and books. But now, girls want to marry wealthy and good-looking boys. Mostly gal or boy feels spiritual love with each other for short time. It does not change to long relationship or marriage. Time is changed lot. People just want to enjoy good time pass with each other in parties or dates. You can feel such love with nature too. You will see enormous love in eye of animals like cat, cow, dog etc. Any animal or person who is not selfish, you can feel such thing with them. Secondly, such love is just wastage of time and concentration if you want to succeed in your life. You can learn this from Industrialist Ratan Tata and Scientist Abdul Kalam as they are bachelor for whole life because they want to achieve success in their life. If you try spiritual love with boy or gal, it mostly gives you useless hurt at end as everyone has their own desires. Mostly such love converts to bad relation after long time or marriage. So, I advise if you want to choose anyone for love, think with mind much deeply about her or him. Mostly girls want to use boys for their convince in study or note books etc. Similarly boys want to get good time pass with girls in classes. So, this is mutual benefits for each other. It is cruel reality about such relation. So, we should not consider anyone seriously as when her or his self interest fulfilled, he or she will leave you quickly. This is a cruel world and everyone should be practical about this. Many boys got frustrated by such behaviour of girls so deeply that they hate gal much extremely. As a result, some boys attempt to attack other innocent girl on their face by knife for destructing their beauty so that they do not get any partner easily. (It happen lot in Delhi and Chandigarh several time.)
