Eight M’s That Shape Our Life....

Image
  Eight M’s That Shape Our Life .. . Life is often shaped not by dramatic turning points but by simple principles that guide our everyday choices. Over the years, I have realised that many of these guiding forces begin with the letter M - Meditation, Mouth, Money, Mood, Moves, Mind, Morning, and Meal. Each of these eight M’s quietly influences how we think, how we act, and how we connect with the world around us. Meditation - The wisdom of meditation is beautifully described in the Bhagavad Gita through the practice of inner discipline and self-awareness. Lord Krishna explains that a person who learns to steady the mind through meditation becomes like a lamp placed in a windless place, its flame steady and unwavering. This powerful imagery reminds us that when the mind stops wandering, clarity emerges. Meditation is not merely closing our eyes; it is learning to quieten the noise within. In today’s fast and demanding world, this inner stillness becomes essential. When we meditate, ...

Turning Pain into Purpose...

Image
  Turning Pain into Purpose .. . It is said that every pain teaches us a lesson, and every lesson we learn changes us. Let us take a simple example. A child who is just learning about his or her surroundings does not know what is hot and what is cold. Unless the child touches hot water and feels the burn, he or she cannot understand the difference. Slowly, with patience, the child then touches cold water and realizes that it is safe and not dangerous. Only then does the child begin to enjoy the coolness of the water and understand the difference between hot and cold. In a similar manner, unless we experience pain in life, we often do not understand the true purpose of our journey. Sometimes I ask the universe a question, why do we understand our purpose only when we experience pain? The answer that comes to my mind is that in this fast-moving world we have lost patience. We want everything magically and instantly, almost like robots. In this race we slowly lose the meaning of feeli...

Smile That Heals...

Image
  Smile That Heals .. . A smile is perhaps the most natural and powerful form of healing. For people like me who are followers of Krishna, whenever we look for an idol or a picture of him, we are often drawn to his smile, either the innocent smile of his childhood or the radiant smile of his mature form. That smile spreads an energy that soothes the mind and heals the heart. Each one of us once carried that same innocent smile during our childhood. However, as we grow up and step into a competitive world filled with expectations, responsibilities, and emotional pressures, that pure smile slowly fades away. If we lose the ability to retain a genuine smile within ourselves, how will we ever heal ourselves or bring healing to others? Whenever life becomes overwhelming, we search for relief, perhaps by watching a film, meeting friends, or visiting a place where laughter comes easily. But imagine how powerful it would be if the same sense of joy and warmth existed within the work we do ...

We Are All Here for a Reason....

Image
  We Are All Here for a Reason .. . I have always believed that our presence on this earth is not accidental, it is intentional and meaningful. Over the years, my journey with children and individuals with hearing impairment has strengthened this belief countless times. I have seen a child hear his mother’s voice for the very first time and burst into tears, a teenager who once avoided conversations become a confident public speaker, and parents who arrived anxious leave with hope in their hearts. These are not coincidences, they are reminders that each of us is placed where we are needed most. Perhaps my role is to be a bridge between silence and sound, between doubt and confidence, between fear and possibility. One of the most unforgettable experiences that reaffirmed my purpose was attending the annual function of the Rochiram T. Thadani High School for Hearing Handicapped as a Guest of Honour. The performers that evening were hearing-impaired children, yet the auditorium was fi...

The secret ingredient is always love…

Image
  The secret ingredient is always love.. . You came into my life unexpectedly, and now you are my passion forever. Whether it is loving someone deeply, loving your children, loving your work, loving what you do, or loving the Almighty, devotion, passion, and compassion can only grow from that one secret ingredient called love. Loving God means believing that whatever happens, He is always there to protect and guide us, and that faith gives us the wings to fly. Yet today, many of us are trapped in mindsets that label people, tall or short, fat or thin, dark or fair, traditional or modern, lazy or workaholic. Why can’t we instead say, “You are a beautiful soul,” or “You are perfect the way you are”? God does not differentiate when it comes to His love; He provides nature’s gifts equally to all of us without judgment. So who are we to divide, label, or limit others? Why can’t we spread the same unconditional love that the Almighty showers upon us? When love becomes our lens, we begin ...

Worry ends when faith in God begins...

  Worry ends when faith in God begins.. . It is often said that if we keep worrying about our past experiences and remain anxious about the future, we disturb the peace of our present. We have come into this world with a purpose. I strongly feel that when your purpose is real and meaningful, you automatically learn from your past, work sincerely in your present, and shape a better future. By God’s grace, you become so engaged in meaningful action that you simply don’t have time to worry. Anything done with passion, be it praying to God, loving your children and family, serving your country, or working towards a cause, always leads you to purpose. And that purpose not only lights the lives of others but also illuminates your own life. I remember during a recent radio interview on Vividh Bharati, when the RJ asked me what message I would like to give as an individual, my instant reply was: “I want everyone to be happy and to spread love.” That response truly came from faith. God has ...

Ask for more… the universe isn’t on a budget....

  Ask for more… the universe isn’t on a budget. .. This is my 301st article on positivity, and I want the universe to give me more and more positivity so that I can spread it further. The sun has limitless light to share, the moon gives boundless brightness, and the stars sparkle in their own unique ways, then why can’t we ask for more from the universe? A journey of five years of writing has given me immense strength to explore my work with positivity. It has given me an open mind to think, patience to understand others, belief in myself, and the ability to develop empathy. I have learned to use kind words in my writing and speaking, to have hope in everything I do, to accept people the way they are, to be with good people, to love what I do, and to spread love so that people feel kindness still exists. At this stage of life, I am reminded of the universal law of karma, which says, “As you sow, so shall you reap.” In this fast-paced race to make a difference, we all need to shift ...
