Past - Present - Future

Guys,

Recently, I felt that I need to put more conscious efforts, towards living in moment and living in present. I found myself caught in a cocoon of past. Of course no metamorphosis was happening there inside.

Though I had idea about Osho's thought of "Living in the moment", still I wasn't able to get onto it and ride on the wave of time. I was pondering upon my reactions and behavior and I think I have got something to share again.

My experience says, its not difficult to come out of past if one desires, and even it is not difficult to stop worrying about future. What really makes it look hard is the lack of willingness to look into present and enjoy every moment that you are passing through.

Just need to wear the swim suit of willingness, put the oxygen gear of cheers and dive deep in the sea of moments present in front of you. Soon you will see the beautiful fishes of Joy and discover pearls of happiness all around.

There comes Osho again to rescue explaining "Living In The Moment"......

----------

There has been a great misunderstanding between life and time. Time is thought to be consisting of three tenses: past, present, future — which is wrong.

Time consists only of past and future. It is life which consists of the present.

So those who want to live, for them there is no other way than to live this moment.
Only the present is existential.

Keep breathing..!!! ;)

Folks,

Reading Osho is something I enjoy, like the way I enjoy sweets. Those who are close to me, knows my love for sweets very well. I can eat them anytime of the day!

Similarly I am always ready to read Osho Literature. Here I am sharing a thought from his literature, I just came across.

Post comments, if you have something to write in this regard.

Have you observed?

Any time when you are creative, sex disappears. If you are painting and totally absorbed into it, you don't have any sexual desire. Sex simply does not cross the threshold of your mind; it is simply not there. Only in deep creativity people are celibate, in no other way.

What say?

Friends,

Here I am putting up a Poem (read in Gujju) "Maro Prem" which means "My Love".

I recently wrote this one to describe my feelings, my love. Hope you will like this.

--------------------------------------------------------

Maro Prem!!

Maro Prem ek Nanu Balak che,
Jene angli pakdi ne chal vu che;
Maro Prem ek avo Jeev che,
Jene patangiya bani udvu che;
Maro Prem e maru swapna che
Jene mare sakar karvu che;

Jarror che e saharo aapnara haath ni,
Jarror che e patangiya ne ek phool ni,
Mara Prem na aaa nanakda chod ne,
Jarror che thodik maavjat ni;

Dodva mandshe chalta chalta,
Udva mandshe jot jota maan,
Aaa beej maan etli takat che
Mitho Chaaydo aapshe har ek samay maan.

Bas jarror che ek haath ni,
Jarror che ek phool ni,
Jarror che thodik maavjat ni, karan ke,
Maro prem e nanu balak che!!

- Tiku



Tiku, is my lovely childhood name given to me by my mother.
I just can't resist to write this one here as
the poem comes straight from the bottom of my heart.

-------------------------
Translation
--------------------------

My love is like a small child,
Who wants to hold the finger and enjoy walking,
My love is eager,
to fly around like a butterfly,
My love is my dream,
Which I want to come true.

Just a supporting hand is needed,
A lovely flower is needed,
for this little plant of my love,
A special care is needed.

It will start running soon,
It will fly around soon,
This seed is powerful enough,
will give cool shed in every noon.

Just a hand is needed,
One flower is requested,
All it needs is special care, beacuse
My love is a Small Child.

Cheers,
Shrenik.

Ethical business

Hi folks,

Recently I received one SMS from my mobile service provider (Airtel). This message was saying that, Airtel has reduced its local/STD rates upto 50%. You Also get 50 SMS free. All this you will get at a 1time fee of Rs200/- .

Wow! Look at that! They are offering reduced rates with a one time fee? Where as all the new subscribers will be availing these benefits by paying regular amout. Since I am using this service for more than a year, I will be charged Rs200/- to avail this facitlity! And, if I don't call them up to say that I am not interested in their offer, this charges will be added implicity to my monthly bill.

I don't understand this style of business! When my service provider is reducing the charges of the calls, why the hell I am being forced to pay one time fees to obtain the benefits. The fees are being charged to me implicitly unless I call them up and refuse to take the service. Considering the huge amount of subscriber base, I feel that they have just found another easy way to take money out of the customer's pockets.

The Airtel brand, owned by the Bharti Telecom is projecting their vision statement as “To make mobile communications a way of life and be the customers' first choice”, I want to ask them Is this is the way of life? Was it our mistake that we choose to talk via bharti's infrastructure?
Come on guys! Where are the business ethics? You charge your old subscribers to avail the benefits of reduced rates and at the same time you are attracting new subscribers by showing them carrot of cheap call rates.

Come on! Find some good way to make money.
