MONEY AND ITS MAGIC (PART 2)

Have you ever been to a store…any store for that matter….grocery, clothes, book…

And liked something – and really wanted to buy it…but when you looked at the price tag…”Uhhhhh…its too expensive – don't think this is worth the price…never mind”

This has happened way to often…has it not?

Let me tell you a secret – the minute you have this thought – think instantly about the joy you will derive when you would consume the product – here, it could be a packet of yummy yummy goat cheese, a box of dark chocolates, or it could be nice graceful dress…

“But, if I spend on this, I will not have enough to purchase…..”(another product)

This is like – money makes things worst for us – but I thought it was MAGICAL…

The present moment is so short – you don't even know what may take place the next second…

Take the MAGICAL MONEY and buy what your heart desires – trust me, you will not regret it..

Because you took the first step to let the MAGICAL money FLOW…and before you know it …more MONEY will be coming your way…

MOTTO : LET ME FLOW, LET ME FLOW, LET ME FLOW…

MONEY and its MAGIC…(PART 1)

I walked to the store today to buy my regular groceries – not an unusual sight though, at the store..

A cashier was counting her cash at the counter….loads of them.

MONEY and its MAGIC – is money really magical….

All I could see were pieces of paper of somewhat the same size, being counted….

And they say MONEY is magical…

MONEY is magical because it acts as a medium through which we are able to feed ourselves, clothe our bodies, and shelter below a roof…

MONEY would be MORE magical…if the same is shared with others…

We cry and crib all the time – especially when opening our wallets – cribbing at the fact that we do not have much as they guy ahead of us in the paying queue has…

But if we wonder closely, MONEY is nothing less than just some nicely colored PAPER…yes, obviously with some value on it…

MONEY helps us to build houses….but falls short of building a home…

MONEY helps us buy our meals…but falls short of ensuring our health….

MONEY helps us buy a bed…but falls short of ensuring a good night sleep….

AND THE LIST GOES ON….

MONEY is just like WATER….the nature of which is to FLOW freely…if it does not flow and stagnates…it begins to STINK…

MONEY, when shared, gets doubled…but when hogged and held tightly in the grip…gets halved…

MONEY does bring more than joy, when its shared with our fellow beings….

It gives you a great feeling…when we share our treasures (big or small – size does not matter here) with people around us -  known and unknown – a small gesture goes a long way to bring joy to the recipient and the giver….
After all, as they say, we should live like a king, and die a BEGGAR….

A CONVERSATION BETWEEN MS BLANK PAPER(BP) AND MR PENCIL(P)…

A BLANK PAPER…EMPTY..NO ALPHABETS, NO WORDS, NO SENTENCES, NO PUNCTUATION MARKS…
CLEAN AND WHITE….

MS BLANK PAPER LIED ON THE BROWN TABLE…WHILE MR PENCIL LOOKED UPON HER FROM HIS SIDE..FROM WHERE HE WAS LYING TOO…

MR PENCIL : HI MS BP…HOW ARE YOU DOING…?

MS BLANK PAPER : HI THERE, MR P…DOING GREAT…YOU?

MR PENCIL : ALRIGHT…I AM FEELING BORED…CAN I WRITE ON YOU?

MS BLANK PAPER : SURE, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO WRITE?

MR PENCIL : WHATEVER THAT COMES THROUGH ME…BUT HONESTLY, I ONLY FEEL LIKE I AM WRITING WHEN MY MIND IS SHUT….AND THEN I QUICKLY BEGIN MOVING ON YOU, LIKE A LUNATIC DRUNKARD….

MS BP, DO YOU KNOW, YOU ARE A DARLING, A LOVELY PIECE OF THING…I CANNOT IMAGINE A LIFE WITHOUT YOU....IF NOT FOR YOU, I WOULD HAVE NOTHING TO WRITE ON …WHO WOULD I BE ‘ENGAGING’WITH … (WITH A TWINKLE OF MISCHIEF IN HIS EYE)….

MS BLANK PAPER : (SMILES SHYLY) …I WONDER TOO, WHAT VALUE WOULD I HAVE IF NOT FOR YOU….BECAUSE OF YOU..AND OBVIOUSLY THANKS TO YOU…I BECOME CLOSE TO PEOPLES’ HEARTS…

I ONCE SAW A GIRL, WHEN SHE READ WHAT YOU HAD WRITTEN ON ME…SHE HELD ME CLOSE TO HER HEART….WITH TEARS OF JOY IN HER EYES….

MR PENCIL : (LAUGHS) WHAT ABOUT THE TIMES…WHEN GIRLS, AFTER READING WHAT I HAD WRITTEN ON YOU…THEY TORE YOU TO PIECES…HAHAHHA…

MS BLANK PAPER : THAT'S TRUE…..SO THAT MEANS, IT VERY MUCH DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU WRITE ON ME…(SMILES)

MR PENCIL : WELL, I JUST WRITE WHATEVER COMES THROUGH ME…IT COULD MEAN THE TRUTH FOR SOME…IT COULD MEAN NONSENSE FOR SOME…IT COULD MEAN LOVE FOR SOME, IT COULD MEAN LITERALLY NOTHING FOR SOME…

MS BLANK PAPER : THAT'S INTERESTING….THUS I AM AT YOUR MERCY…(SIGHES)

MR PENCIL : WE ARE ALL ALIKE…WE ARE ALL DEPENDENT OF EACH OTHER….REMEMBER, I SCRATCH YOUR BACK, YOU SCRATCH MINE…(SMILES AGAIN WITH THE SAME MISCHIEF IN HIS EYES)

AND THEY BOTH LAUGHED….

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL – EVEN IF ITS JUST A SIMPLE CONVERSATION BETWEEN THE INANIMATE THINGS/OBJECTS …IF ONLY THEY COULD SPEAK AND EXPRESS…LIFE WOULD BE DIFFERENT FOR ALL OF US…

THANKS TO THE WHITE PAGE ON MY LAPTOP AND THE KEYBOARD – THESE WORDS CAME THROUGH….

ALAS, WE TAKE SUCH VALUABLE THINGS FOR GRANTED –

LIFE WOULD BE LIFELESS IF ITS NOT BEING EXPRESSED….

EXPRESS AND LIVE ONCE AGAIN….

EXPRESS IT IN GESTURES, EXPRESS IT IN WORDS, EXPRESS IT IN MUSIC, EXPRESS IT IN WRITINGS, EXPRESS IT IN ART, EXPRESS IT IN DANCE, EXPRESS IT IN POETRY…DO ALL YOU CAN TO EXPRESS YOURSELF….

LOVE - THE ENERGY

The ever-flowing energy of creation – flowing in different forms, in different names…

How not to identify with nature…if energy is the very part of nature…

We are able to relate to nature – people, places, things via their ‘energies’ that they reverberate…

If you are able to feel it - the very reverberating energy that exists in everything and nothing - speaks in only one language – and that is LOVE…

And that’s why we see the sun shining, stars and moon glowing, flowers blooming, birds flying, mothers nourishing….

And that’s why, LOVE is beyond name and form…

If we just introspect just a little, we are sure to feel this energy reverberating around us, within us, part of us…and we are sure to experience this very energy called LOVE…

LOVE IS FUN

LOVE IS AN ADVENTURE 

LOVE IS THE JOURNEY ITSELF  - NOT SURE IF IT’S THE DESTINATION

LOVE IS PLEASING

LOVE IS SPONTANEOUS

LOVE IS BEYOND THE MIND

LOVE IS GIVING

LOVE IS FEELING FREE

LOVE IS CREATING

LOVE IS MUSIC

 

LOVE IS LIFE ITSELF…

A SILENT CONVERSATION....

A silent conversation emerges from the being of Radha when her eyes beheld the sight of Krsna, her Beloved:

Oh Dear Krsna, where have YOU been?
I have been waiting here for You all day...

My eyes longed to see this beautiful and charming Form appearing...
They waited so impatiently, yet patiently, to drink in Your form...

My ears longed to hear Your sweet voice..calling out my name, 'Radhe, Radhe,'

But more than ever, my hear pained..
Oh! How incomplete my being feels without You..

Oh Dear Krsna, please do not put me through this painful plight again..

Krsna smiles as He listens intensely to Radha's silent words, with His penetrating deep into her being...and then helds her hand close to His heart..and a DEEP SILENCE envelopes them..

All expressed and experienced in the Realm of Silence..

BEAUTIFUL.
