Today suddenly a thought came to my mind; what if we are given an opportunity to design our own separate world???

Then definitely we would like to design it with most wonderful colors of happiness only. We would choose only those people with whom we get along very well. There shouldn't be bed of thorns but rose petals everywhere. Everything which we like should be part of it.
And... no place for sorrows, problems, setbacks or failures. Why anyone would want all these in their own wonderful world...???

Yes...absolutely. No one would want all these in their own world. But we forget that if there wouldn't be bed of thorns the rose would have no subtlety. If there wouldn't be setbacks we would never learn to stand up and move ahead. If there wouldn't be failure we would never carve our road to success. If there wouldn't be problems we would not challenge ourselves to solve them. If there wouldn't be sorrows we would not realize the value of smiles.

We have parents, relatives, friends and most wonderful people around us who support us, take care of us and love us. But we forget that there are people who are just alone in the world and they have no one to share their pains and tears. We are very lucky to get good upbringing, good education, good food, clothes of our choice, nice house where we live and also all the facilities of life but do we ever think that in some corner of this world there are people who can not even dream about all these?

Do we ever realize the real value of what we have...???

We never look at what we have but we always keep on complaining of what we don't have...! In doing so we can not enjoy all our priceless possessions and so we are far behind from being happy and content. How disgusting it is that our happiness depends on all the materialistic things.

Happiness is inner bliss which never depends on these materialistic things but it depends completely what we feel at heart...

Let's not search our happiness in the materialistic things instead understand and value of what we have. Let's always be in the state of happiness and inner bliss and then the whole world will be ours and there won't be need to design our own separate world....!!!

(This is in context of my friend Hetal's note " Death n living")
Death is the ultimate truth of life. It is an end of physical life which starts our journey into the new beginning- our spiritual life. Where it is said that we are above all the feelings and in a state above then everything. So, the fear exists only in the physical world and not in the spiritual world.
It is also believed that we come in to physical world just to go higher in the spiritual world. The shortest way to progress in spiritual world is to take birth in this physical world. So, we all come here with some purpose. It is believed that in the initial stage of our life, i.e. soon after our birth and 1-2 years we remember why we are here but after that we attach to so many things and as a reason of that we forget our purpose.

We know that death is the beginning of a new journey where we will meet God almighty. So, when all the sadhus and sanyasis take samadhi; that day is celebrated. The 16th day is celebrated as Shodashotsav.

We do not do this because we think differently and can not accept the truth that it is a journey to meet God instead we are unhappy and in tremendous pain.
I believe that this pain is only because our near and dear ones with whom we have spent most wonderful moments of our life are no longer with us. So, their absence bring lots of pain and tears to our life. This is the most difficult stage.

We should also remember that they are not with us in the physical world but they are there somewhere in the spiritual world and constantly watching & guiding us and also taking care of us. Their blessings, love and most wonderful memories will always remain with us.
So, important is not to have a fear of death as because of this we are not living every moment but we are dying.That means we should start accepting each and every moment and make most out of it. We don't have control on what is happening but we can surely govern our thoughts by putting life into everything we do. Then we will definitely enjoy every moment and we will start living.
