Quotations by Me

Always try to be a kid; you will love your life with the events that will happen around you.
Always be there to hold the hand of a person in need, you will get one when you need it.
Love the one who needs it, not the one who doesn’t believe it.
I may not survive to see the beauty that will come in the future, but if it comes I will be born again to see those.
Time is really powerful to heal anything, the only thing we need is a little amount of patience.
Hold on with your problems, they will not always stay with you, they also have their expiration day to fade away.

There Is No Need of Medium For Message Transmission

I ponder the necessity of traditional mediums for message transmission between individuals. I hold the belief that communication can occur without such intermediaries—simply speak your message into the universe, allowing it to traverse vast distances to reach its intended recipient anywhere in the cosmos. Esteemed scientists have suggested that energy is conserved, merely transformed from one state to another. Thus, the sound energy you emit to convey a message persists in the environment, undergoing only a change in form.

I hold the belief that when we speak, vibrations are generated within our environment. While these vibrations may not directly reach the intended recipient, the energy we release remains preserved within the environment. Thus, if our friend desires to receive the message, they may access it from the surrounding energy by converting it back into vibration form. This is my perspective on how communication can occur between individuals without the need for any intermediary medium.

Many believe in the power of heart-to-heart communication between individuals. I perceive this as a technique for achieving such connections. The emotions and feelings within our hearts have the potential to transcend to another person, especially if their sensitivity is strong. While this concept remains speculative, I anticipate advancements in modern technologies may one day validate its possibility. I embrace this method of communication, knowing that even if the recipient doesn't directly hear me, the message I wish to convey is preserved within the universe. This brings me joy, and I continue to send messages to those I care about using this method.

Life Lessons Learnt

Life's journey is a marvel, brimming with lessons in love, joy, sorrow, empathy, faith, and resilience. Each moment offers a chance to grow, to discover the extraordinary in the ordinary, and to unveil aspects of ourselves we never knew existed. Some grasp these lessons swiftly, while others require time, yet once learned, they catalyze profound transformation. It's imperative to pause, reflect, and discern our needs and desires. Cherish each moment to love, forgive, laugh, cry, and learn, for life is fleeting, far shorter than it appears.

In this piece, I aim to convey a crucial message that everyone should internalize sooner rather than later. The key lesson is to recognize that the present moment is our life unfolding. It's not the span between birth and death, but rather the space between each breath. Your current moment comprises your existence. Embrace the various circumstances you encounter, understanding that life is finite, with a limited timeframe. Every instant presents challenges, demanding resilience and fortitude to navigate forward. A vital takeaway is understanding that the sacrifices we make today pave the way for future rewards. Nothing is lost; our actions towards others reflect on us.

Fear of the unknown often holds people back from exploring new endeavors. However, failures serve as invaluable lessons in our journey. Growth and learning occur when we dare to venture beyond our comfort zones. Building a positive relationship with oneself is paramount, as self-belief lays the foundation for confidence and resilience. Trusting your inner voice is crucial; it guides you towards the right path. Cultivating a healthy self-relationship fosters the courage to face any situation with confidence. Our actions reveal our true character, and amidst encounters with adversity, one's actions speak volumes. Small acts of kindness possess the power to transform the world, turning it into a better place. A simple smile can uplift someone's spirits and bring joy, even in the face of anger or hostility.

Beneath the façade of every seemingly picturesque life lies hidden pain, yet it is this very pain that fortifies individuals, equipping them with the resilience to confront any challenge in pursuit of their dreams. The resilience of someone who endures hardship while remaining steadfastly alive poses a profound question to ponder. Their continued existence is a testament to their enduring desire to breathe, think, cherish moments of joy, pursue aspirations, and embrace the unknown opportunities that life presents. Time and life experiences serve as potent healers, capable of mending even the deepest wounds. Life possesses an extraordinary transformative power; it holds the potential to elevate an individual to greatness. Belief in oneself and a steadfast determination to persevere through adversity can lead to personal growth and fulfillment. Embracing life's challenges without succumbing to despair enables one to emerge stronger and more resilient.

Ultimately, the pivotal lesson for all is to abandon the path of expectation. It is a grave error to cling to expectations that may never materialize, leading to pain, disillusionment, and spiritual decay. The mantra "Just enjoy, don't expect" is a guiding principle that can usher happiness and fulfillment into our lives, paving the way for the realization of our dreams. By relinquishing concerns about the future and dwelling on the past, and instead immersing ourselves in the present moment, we find clarity and direction. This fundamental insight is essential for navigating life's challenges and cultivating inner joy. Maintain a positive outlook, and persevere in your journey; one day, you will arrive at your destination, where you can bask in the pure bliss of fulfillment. Whether you believe it or not, the choice is yours. 🙂

My Voice Against Castes And Religions

What a stunning day! The world is advancing swiftly with modern technologies, keeping everyone occupied. Despite these advancements, the prevalence of busyness raises questions in my mind. Why are people always so busy? More importantly, why does discrimination based on caste and religion persist in our supposedly enlightened age? These questions linger in my thoughts, echoing with each passing moment. Despite the broadening of minds facilitated by technology, prejudice based on caste and religion remains entrenched. Why do such narrow-minded attitudes endure in an era of progress and enlightenment?

In my quest for answers, I delved deep into ancient texts, including the Hindu holy book, the Gita, as well as excerpts from the Bible and the Quran. However, I found no mention of the discrimination based on caste and religion that plagues society today. None of these sacred texts advocated for treating individuals differently based on their caste or religion.

Reflecting on my discoveries, I recognized that the practices prevalent today are not dictated by ancient narratives but rather by the individuals who crafted these rules and regulations. It became evident to me that these constructs were established to uphold certain individuals' positions of power and authority. I came to understand that these systems of domination were not divinely ordained but rather devised by humans inhabiting this earth. They initiated a system where some exert control over others.

In the realm of caste and religion, it's widely acknowledged that a higher authority, often referred to as God, presides. Those who adhere to caste and religious beliefs typically believe in the divine. However, in my visits to temples or churches, I've never encountered God rebuking individuals of different faiths, questioning their presence, or declaring exclusivity. If indeed it is God who delineated people into distinct categories based on caste and religion, one would expect such sentiments to be expressed when individuals of varying faiths visit places of worship. One would anticipate divine anger towards those not belonging to the designated religion or caste. Yet, this is not the case.

Gradually, I realized that there exists only one divine force, a supernatural power referred to as God, which humans have fragmented into various factions. Each religion professes that God is a benevolent force, always aiding those in need and championing righteousness. Yet, it is perplexing how such a positive force, dedicated to goodness, could endorse discrimination and inequality. How can a deity, purportedly supportive of all, delineate rights based on religious affiliation?

In every religion and caste system, it is professed that God transcends boundaries and resides within each individual. Despite this universal belief, people continue to differentiate and treat individuals of different religions unequally, effectively segregating the singular concept of God into distinct factions. This discrimination is not directed towards people, but rather towards the inherent divinity within each individual. I believe that every person possesses a divine essence, a soul, which is synonymous with the presence of God within us.

The choice is ours: to embrace the divinity within ourselves or adhere to the man-made constructs of religion and caste. Recognizing the inherent godliness in every individual, we must acknowledge the fundamental similarities among us all. Just as every person possesses a heart, and a brain, and shares commonalities, why then do we persist in discriminating based on religious or caste affiliations? When we pierce someone's skin, we witness the same red blood flowing, regardless of background. Embracing the divinity within ourselves allows us to unlock our inner strength and potential. Therefore, let us first recognize the godliness within ourselves, and in doing so, unleash the latent power within.

In today's world, the true power lies within each individual—the essence of one's soul. It's time to eradicate discrimination based on religion and caste. Every person inherently possesses equal rights and deserves equal treatment. Divisions of religion and caste should not serve as barriers. There exists a singular force beyond these distinctions. Even the divine feels conflicted about how to convey this message to humanity. Should it appear in a form familiar to Hindus, Christians, or others? This uncertainty underscores the complexity of imparting these universal truths to all inhabitants of Earth.

Even with this awareness, countless individuals continue to let caste and religion dictate their most significant choices. They recognize the universality of human emotions, yet fail to empathize. Instead of understanding the internal struggles of others, they perpetuate discriminatory practices that they have constructed. If there is only one divine presence within us all, why do we allow discrimination to persist? Why can't individuals of diverse castes or religions be granted equal rights and opportunities?

I envision a future where humanity transcends the constraints of caste and religion, embracing a singular identity—the essence of the soul. In this ideal world, the concept of divinity resides not in external constructs, but within each individual, as the latent power we currently attribute to "god." From my earliest years, I have ardently opposed the divisions imposed by caste and religion. I am aware that my convictions may meet resistance, even hostility, from those entrenched in the current system. However, I remain steadfast, buoyed by the inner assurance of the divine presence within me. Through dreams and moments of profound clarity, I have felt the unmistakable touch of this guiding force. I eagerly anticipate the day when unity prevails, when humanity collectively embraces a singular faith—the faith in our shared humanity—and when the barriers of caste dissolve into insignificance. Thank you.
