PORTRAIT OF AN OPTIMISTIC DUDE

Like Bubbles in the Sea...!

2007-07-10T19:37:00.000+05:00

Like bubbles in the sea,

All the worlds arise in you.

Know you are the Self.

Know you are one.

Let yourself dissolve.

You see the world.

But like the snake in the rope,

It is not really there.

You are pure.

Let yourself dissolve.

Nothing Without the Self!

2007-01-23T18:10:00.000+05:00

As there can be no water without the sea,

No touch without the skin,

no smell withoutThe nose,

no taste without the tongue,

no formWithout the eye,

no sound without theEar,

no thought without the mind,

no wisdomWithout the heart,

no work without hands,

noWalking without feet,

no scriptures without theWord,

so there can be nothing without the Self.

Question of Time!

2006-11-29T15:01:00.000+05:00

To everyone of us there must come a time

when the whole universe will be found

to have been a dream,

when we find the soul is infinitely

better than the surroundings.

It is only a question of time,

and time is nothing in the infinite.

-Sai Baba

The Dreaming Mind!!!

2006-10-05T12:32:00.000+05:00

The dreaming mind recalls past impressions.

It sees again what has been seen;

it hearsAgain what has been heard,

enjoys againWhat has been enjoyed in many places.

Seen and unseen, heard and unheard,

enjoyedAnd unenjoyed, the real and the unreal,

The mind sees all; the mind sees all.

Love Is Selflessness!

2006-09-06T17:17:00.000+05:00

Love is selflessness

—self is lovelessness.

-Sai Baba

Soch!

2006-04-12T16:38:00.000+05:00

Na jane kabhi kabhi mere man me ek soch aata hai
ki mai jab kabhi sochta hoon to soch ke anusar
yeh duniya nahi soch ti balki aap ko doosro ke soch par ……

Aap se ek gujaris hai,
Aap se ek sipharis hai,
Aap bhi kabhi meri tarah socha Karen!

Aap apne ko meri ,
Aur mai aap ko apni,
Aap aur hum mil kar socha karen,
Aaj ki soch par amal kare!

Aap ki najar se mai sochun,
Aap meri najar se sochen,
Aap ki soch me mai kya hoon,
Aapni soch me mai kya hoon!

Apni soch me mai achchha hoon,
Aap apni soch me achchhi hain,
Aap ki Apni soch bhi achchhi hai,
Apni apni soch bhi achchhe hain!

Apni apni soch ko socha kare,
Apni is soch ko bata Karen,
Aap ki aur apni soch ko,
Aaj ki soch me badla Karen!

Aap se ek gujaris hai,
Aap se ek sipharis hai,
Aap bhi kabhi meri tarah socha Karen!

The internet has long been valued by various institutions as a powerful research and communications tool, and in the last 10 years, it has brought about a sea change in the way people find, manage, and use information. But the promise of the Web as more than just a readable, searchable resource has been slow to be realized ... until now. New Internet technologies, such as Weblogs are redefining the way people use the Internet, turning them from mere readers into writers to the Web as well.
Weblogs, or "blogs," as they are called, are Web sites that are easily created and updated by those with even a minimum of technology know-how. What used to be a messy process for Internet publishing is now almost as easy as sending e-mail; no code, no file transfer, and in many cases, no hosting setup. Just login to your site from any Internet connection, enter the content in a typical Internet form, press a button, and your Weblog is updated.
Like websites, Blogs can also display pictures and video, include audio and Flash, and even store other files like PowerPoint presentations or Excel spreadsheets for linking. Hello is the photo sharing utility of Picasa, a product of Google is integrated with Blogger, thereby enabling users to post photos to their blogs. Thus photoblogging became a reality.
What started as a log of interesting Web sites soon became a forum for self-expression that can quickly reach people around the world. After the 9/11 attacks in New York, blogs were used to convey information, thoughts and feelings faster than any previous method. On controversial issues as well as mainstream subjects, it has become a forum to express oneself.
As more and more people get on the blog bandwagon, educational institutions are starting to experiment with the technology as a way to communicate with students and parents, archive and publish student work, learn with far-flung collaborators, and "manage" the knowledge that members of the educational community create. In fact, many are seeing Weblogs as a cheaper alternative to course management systems.
Thus, Weblog’s enables us to engage in reflective practice and have interactive opportunities that would develop and broaden our knowledge base, and documents evidence of growth and refinement in the practice.

A Gift Given With a Joyous Heart!

Better than a gift given with a joyous heart
Are sweet words spoken with a cheerful smile.

In Your Eyes

2005-07-15T17:08:00.000+05:00

Koi akho akho se baat kar lete hai,

Koi akho akho me mulakat karle te hai,

Bara muskil hota hai,

jawab dena jab koi khamose rah kar sawal kar lete hai !

I wish I could see through your eyes,

so I would know what you like to see.

I wish I knew your wishes,

so I could give you everything you want.

I wish I dreamed the same dreams you do,

and together we could make them come true.

I wish I knew what makes you happy,

so I could make you the happiest person in the whole world.

And lastly, I wish I were a cell in your blood,

so I would be sure I was somewhere in your heart.

Aaj Hi Me Aaj Kho Jaein ...

2005-07-13T17:01:00.000+05:00

Aaj hi me aaj kho jaein,
Aaj hi me aaj ram jaein!

Aaj ki shama hai chhane lagi har wor,
Aaj mausam me khooshbu hai teri!

Aaj jami par hai nahi mere pag,
Aaj har wor thirak rahi hai umang!

Aaj mai sanwar loon, saj loon khoob,
Aaj mai kar loon har khawaish puri!

Aaj bhanware lage hain mandrane phoolon par,
Aaj tere chahat ka ant nahi!

Aaj ang-ang lagi hai khilane,
Aaj har rang hai eis umang me!

Aaj ki mausam hai lagan ki,
Aaj heena ki rang lagi hai chadne!

Aaj dilon melagi hai chadane umang,
Aaj milan ki hai chahat badane lagi!

Aaj tu hi mera sapna,

Aaj tu hi meri manjil!

Aaj tu dil ke pass aa,

Aaj tu dil ke karib aa!

Aaj mai dil se gungunao,

Aaj mai dil se gaun!

Aaj raje dil khol dun,

Aaj dil ki bat bol dun!

Aaj jaise chham - chham karta sawan,

Aaj jaise bundo ki ban chalyei!

Aaj pyar me nahane ko,

Aaj eisa khawab jagaei!

Aaj pyar chhupaun kaise,

Aaj pyar jataun kaise!

Aaj tham sa gaya aaj ka ye pal,

Aaj kya kahoon, aaj kya na kahoon, uljhan me hoon aaj!

Aaj nahi mai tanha aaj nahi mai akeli,

Aaj ke pal me aaj tum ho aaj mai hoon!

Aaj ke is bahar me aaj chalen hum,

Aaj ke is mauj me aaj jhume hum!

Aaj ko aaj rahne do aaj,

Aaj me aaj ramne do aaj,

Aaj me aaj basne do aaj,

Aaj ko aaj yun rahne do aaj!!

Mere Sapno ki...

2005-01-28T16:31:00.000+05:00

Jaise Barish aur hawa ka sath ho,
Jaise Dil me chhupi khuchh bat ho,
Jaise phijaon me mahaki ek aas ho,
Jaise milti sans se sans ho!!

Nile Gaganpar par chha rahi hai badliyan,
Surkh ho rha hai aasman ka rang naya,
Sham ki lali ab lagi hai chhane yahan,
Hone vali hai pyari rat ab yahan!!

Jaise rat se din ka sath ho,
Jaise din me ho na saken,
Vaisi bat hon! khushiyan aur gam,
Dono ko bant le! aisi ek Sapno ki Rani ka shath ho!!

aasman par chamkane lage phir bijliyan,
tej veg se chalne lage phir abhinyan!

ek anjana sa dar jab use satane lage,
tej musladhar pani phir barsane lage!!

jaise nisha,
ujale ko julphon me snbhal le,
jaise dekh kar kudrat bhi dil ko tham le!sine me apne,
uske chehre ko mai chhupa loon,
aisi hi ek Mere Sapno ki Rani kas mujhe bhi mile!!

Consciousness and Bliss

2005-01-18T10:56:00.000+05:00

I am neither the mind, the intellect,

nor the silent voice within;

Neither the eyes, the ears, the nose, nor the mouth.

I am not water, fire, earth, nor ether—

I am Consciousness and Bliss.

I am Ashish! I am Ashish!

What Beauty!

2005-01-18T10:47:00.000+05:00

I honor the God and the Goddess,

The eternal parents of the universe.

The Lover, out of boundless love,

takes the form of the Beloved.

What Beauty!

Both are made of the same nectar

and share the same food.

...Yesha Kyon Hota Hai!

2005-01-17T17:18:00.000+05:00

Kyon chalti hai pawan,

Because of evaporation.

Kyon jhoome hai gagan,

Because of earth's revolution.

Kyon machalta hai mann,

Because of excessive respiration.

Na tum jaano na hum,

But I just gave all the reasons.

Kyon aati hai bahaar,

Because of a change in season.

Kyon lutata hai karaar,

Because of mental tension.

Kyon hota hai pyaar,

Because of opposites attraction.

Na tum jaano na hum.

Like I said,

these are all science phenomenon.

Kyon gum hai har disha,

Because you have a poor sense of direction.

Kyon hota hai nasha,

Because of drug addiction.

Kyon aata hai mazaa!!

But science gives us all the information.

Na tum jaano na hum,

I did my best to explain.

Kaun kahta hai yeh bat,

Its Ashish! Its Ashish!!
