My favourite poems

 Today, I will be introducing you to one of my favourite poets Rumi. Rumi is a Sufi Poet. He wrote many poems in another language and it is been translated into English.

"The Essential Rumi" is the book and I read it's translation. For today, I will be ending up with the poem. Hope you would like it.


 Let go of your worries

and be completely clear-hearted,

like the face of a mirror

that contains no images.

If you want a clear mirror,

behold yourself

and see the shameless truth,

which the mirror reflects.

If metal can be polished

to a mirror-like finish,

what polishing might the mirror

of the heart require?

Between the mirror and the heart

is this single difference:

the heart conceals secrets,

while the mirror does not.

Dare to laugh!

 You know why people go to grounds especially the old people just to laugh? It is because laughing is an exercise which makes our body and mind strong and energetic. You do not know your laugh would let others laugh. I have seen a video many days ago where a man in a train was laughing looking at his phone watching a comedy scene and the others who were seeing it were also laughing. Did he say all of them to laugh? He just did it right? It is said that we should not laugh loud. Especially when girls laugh immediately someone jumps in and says you are a girl don't laugh. I don't know where these alien people come from. Hahahah. But we should laugh. All our nervous system energizes when we laugh. Your laugh might also energize someone else too!! So why late...keep laughing as louder as you can.

Change

CHANGE Change is unexpected but leaves a great impression. If there is no change there would be no butterflies. Caterpillar looks ugly and most of us don't like it. But when this caterpillar itself becomes a Butterfly. It looks so beautiful and everyone starts admiring it. This is “Change". Change is Beautiful and admirable. Now if you are in any problem or facing most drastic condition; Trust me, it will change and this change will give you a better peaceful life. Just as a Beautiful Butterfly comes out of an ugly caterpillar. Your lives will also change from worse to best. When an old leaf falls, new leaf rise. Past mistakes ends and new thing starts. Growth is change. Remember, if something is changing in your life, it means you are growing. If we sow a seed in earth. It starts germinating and grows into a sapling, a plant and then a big tree. When it is sown it is in dark, in mud inside the earth and as it grows it travels from darkness to light. In the same way, if God ke...

Knowing self!

Many times we might feel very low. We loose our confidence sometimes. It is because we compare our life with someone else's life. Why do we do this? It is because we might not know much about our self than someone else. We try to think so much about others (in terms of comparing) and know more about them than thinking about our own self. Many of us are in familiar with our own capabilities. There are infinite things we can do. Our mind has that power then why don't we think of doing things out of our comfort zones. It might be very hard to start and keep going but if you do it everyday, you can easily make anything happen. One can be good at writing, one can be good at eating, others in dancing, singing or sleeping etc. It does not mean that you do not have anything. May be you are good at brushing your teeth, playing or just using a laptop. You might be good at operating your cell phone. Many others do not know this. If you do not find anything, this is the least case to consi...
