Some Thoughts To Ponder...

Rating: 5.0


acceptance of a situation
is tip of an iceberg...
the transitory phase
that goes into it
poundss one into
multiple specs

****

we don't think
of destiny when
life flows like a
musical stream
why think of it
when life turns into
a sea at storm
why think of it
when sorrow knocks
incessantly at the
delicate walls of the heart?

my contention, rakesh ji, is when we don't acknowledge the role of destiny in our happiness, why blame it on destiny in times of unhappiness or whatever...probably i was little hazy in putting my thoughts?

all these Obstacles and Difficulties are Tests to overcome... Destiny wants to tell us that life isn't just joy to live, isn't just time to spend... Destiny says that 'Life is a preparation for the Afterlife' Destiny wants to strengthen our FAITH. Thanks Destiny Thanks Indira For Sharing 10 for your Precious thoughts! ! !

yea...surely something to ponder upon... its like all the things in the world, we don't tend to worship the lord in prosperity as much we do in misery. basically, the good and the bad have to co-exist, but the human mind is used to acknowledge happiness as its primary state. the...-i dunno any word in english-, but 'sthayibhava' of our consciousness should be bliss, regardless of circumstance, but we tend to react, more than to be, or act. that is the base of our sorrows i guess. this poem is huge ma'am. i loved it. thank you.

when sorrow knocks incessantly at the delicate walls of the heart? ....does the same to steely hearts....only a matter of time and i see that iceberg in every wry smile...in every jaded expression....its scttered by firstfulls.... just like the fistfull scattereing gold dust very well written and poignant....very reflective cheers and ten

Without difficulty or hardships in life teh value of happiness cannot be understood! Without difficulties we cannot think about God mostly! That is why we have day and night and Nature is going on cause and effect! By experience we know them and should not forget to convey our gratitude when we are in happy times! Nice!
