Stop Judicial Tyranny !!


Why is it that the people who should be convicted are declared acquitted?

Why is it that the people who should be acquitted are declared convicted?

This is happening at all levels starting from saddam hussein to memons to shobhraj to george F bush...

Can I do something for it... Am I doing something for it ???

Or will I keep doing the same work for my lovely company...
Nothing bad in it, but am I made to earn my bread only...
Even a dog does so... all through its life...

My apologies to you !!





I do not know if 11 is lucky or not ???

But of late it has been witness to many happenings..

Why after all do they procreate ??
Why after all do they kill ??
Why after all do they Love ??
Why after all do they rape ??
Why after all do they marry ??
Why after all do they divorse ??
Why after all do they create ??
Why after all do they destroy ??


FYI - Time is not so well timed
Life is not so well lived

I do not know why I write
I do not know what I write

But I am sad at heart...
I am lonely deep within...

My sincere apologies to whom-so-ever I have caused pains...
My sincere apologies to whom-so-ever I have hurt till today....

I feel a little lighter now... not much... hope you help me further by forgiving...

You own me... I will be happy...

The Highest Ideal

The highest ideal of man is not bhagti, mukti, vision of god, reaching heaven or sitting in samadhi. It is a state of well-balanced and smooth-functioning body and mind, in which body, mind and soul are able to live in harmony with each other as well as with their surroundings.This may not sound a very high ideal to many. But every passing year of my life is confirming my belief that there is only one lasting satisfaction, and that is the passage of our life in a balanced and smooth manner, that is to say, without any part of it getting lop-sided. If the tiny boat of our personality is balanced on the sea of life then even the greatest waves will not be able to harm it. And it will even be able to carry a heavy baggage, provided it is loaded evenly. But if any side of it - front, rear, left, right - is lop-sided, it will always seem at the verge of overturning even empty what to talk of carrying any heavy baggage, and we will live in dread of it every minute.

To achieve a well-balanced and smooth state we will have to know our body, our brain, our mind, and the forces surrounding us. This state can only be achieved with much hard work and much knowledge. This is the state which can be called the state of jeevan-mukti.

The body which is the home of our personality, to know it fully is our first need; the brain through which this personality is to prosper, to know its importance and strengths is our second need; and the mind through which this personality can manifest itself, to know it is our third need. These needs cannot be fulfilled by ordinary, irregular and half-hearted exercises, these cannot be got as boons from some holy men, these have nothing to do with performing parkarmas (going around) of holy places or having holy dips there or drinking water off the feet of idols, or offering flowers and sweets to idols. Just as no body can become a wrestler without exercising in an akhara, similarly, no body can fulfill his above mentioned three needs in some other way except by knowing the laws of Nature and the working of his own body, brain and mind.

And above all, is his fourth need: to familiarize himself fully with the powers surrounding him, to use the powers sympathetic to him in his favour and to secure himself from the opposing ones. To fulfill this need the man will be required to explore the whole of Nature. Sun, moon, stars, air, water, fire, society, polity, civilization, sex, love - all will require that man fully reconciles with them. Whatever is not fully understood and reconciled with, its presence will create unease. He who does not know how a radio speaks, or how an electric bulb gives light without oil or fire, how armies and armies fly through air, how submarines run through the deepest waters of the sea, when he sees such things, first he gets awed by them, and then feels himself hollow because of his inadequate knowledge.

Society, love and sex have a deep relationship with man, but he had never cared to know about them. The result is the present uncontrollable, fluid state. Marital discords, misunderstandings, disinterestedness, impulsive behaviours, hysteria, madness are the result of this very ignorance.

Man made great temples, suffered unbearable pains for the sake of a deceptive mukti, wrote abstract philosophies, made difficult rites and rituals, tortured and got tortured, heard soundless sounds, received revelations - but did not further his knowledge of himself and his surroundings, nor realized his unity with Nature.The result is the hell that we have prepared for ourselves on this earth, where nobody is free to do anything, everything is in chains taut and tense. To live, to be, to enjoy, to see, to appreciate, nothing is dared. Fear stalks every step. Restrictions cover every inch. Every happening is frightening, every moment one is afraid of an omnipresent power happy to run down our efforts. Sermons are delivered from all sides to remain bowed before this very power for hours together and rub noses. He who tries to look up by lifting his neck a bit gets his neck cut. The man will not face more frightening hell anywhere else - he lives in this very hell now.But to live in heaven should be his ideal. Heaven, not after death, but now, and in this very world. Every kind of happiness is man's birthright, provided he can have it without usurping any body's right and without giving any body pain. That image of God is mistaken and harmful which keeps man in fear, and making him a sinful nonentity shows the only hope for him in asking for forgiveness. This image does injustice to man and God both. If no God can be thought of without such an image, then man is in need of no God. Building temples for such a God are useless, and worshipping him has no effect except making man slave and lazy.
But what prevents us from imagining a better and more beautiful God? Stars are beautiful, moon is beautiful, sun is splendid, sky is clear and limitless, forests are full, deserts are wide, seas are unmeasurable and unfathomable, earth's potential is unlimited, love is ecstatic, hug has a wonderful electric current in it, sweet words have magic in them, to sacrifice is to gain fullness of life, health is happiness, hunger gives a unique taste of its own, food gives wonderful satisfaction, good wishes are harbinger of peace, beauty has bloom, sympathy has embrace, tears have some memories dissolved in them, flowers have messages, birds have music, music has intoxication - and in the laughter of this intoxication is the tingle of God.

Is it a small worship to understand this God? Do the eyes closed in blind-faith depict a better state than the knowledge of such a God? Isn't the God which remains present as happiness and beauty in skies, in the hearts of everything a far better and beautiful imagination than the one who sends those who do not worship his name to hells and to repeated cycles of births and deaths?

I have a dream...



If you believe the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream

-(Lines by anon, feelings are mine)
