Components of Personality development
There are immense possibilities within you to develop your personality with strong character. You must recognize and understand them. The key to success is hidden within you. The wealth you have earned is not important but what is important is the means you have adopted for acquiring that wealth. Your personality, your capabilities, your thoughts and your ideals are all very important in determining your character. We will discuss some essential components of personality Development in this article.
*(1)Be polite and speak sweetly:Sweetly spoken words have their own advantage and it is a major component in developing our personality. Society gives respect to a person who has control over his speech and everybody wants to conserve with a person who is sweet spoken. That is why we should always try and inculcate sweet and soft spoken words in our speech.All actions are controlled by tongue or speech. They originate from speech. So it is essential that speech is controlled by mind. A person who is not honest by speech is considered dishonest in all respects. The man who has not control over his speech can not be sure if he can exercise any control over his self while working. If a wrong thing is said in good style it also becomes effective. Then if you say a good thing in good way it has no comparison.
*(2)Keep away from lies, fraud and deception:G.D. Broadman, a great western thinker said – sow a work and get a habit, sow a habit and get a character, sow a character and get a fortune. It is evident that the fate of a person is formed by the work he dies, the branch of a tree bends in the direction it is diverted. If a person once entangles him self in lies and cunningness, then in spite of making countless efforts he can never get out of it and day by day he will keep moving toward downfall. We never improve our personality keeping these elements with in us or a part our habits.
Once a man resorts to lies for self gains and self protection then he gradually becomes an expert in telling lies. Lies, treachery, manipulation and fraud are such aspects of our personality which will lead to our failure, insult and defamation at every step of life. It is necessary that we get rid of these negative shortcomings with firm determination to get success in life. It is an admitted fact that bad ideas develop more rapidly as compared to good ideas. Therefore, we must try and keep ourselves away from all kind of bad impacts.
*(3)Believe in healthy competition:The path of all success is filed with thorns. There is no hindrance in the path of downfall, but no sooner we lift the first step towards progress we start facing difficulties. Only those people who have immense courage and enthusiasm can advance on this path. Those who have moved forward have become immortal. These who cross all the barriers, all the pains, sufferings and sorrows are also able to taste the sweet fruits of success.To achieve success it is necessary that all the energies of body, mind and wealth are utilized in one direction only. When a nab m avoiding all temptations in life works towards one definite foal, he is bound to get total victory. When all energies of mind and soul are concentrated for a particular work then all sources become available for completion of that particular work.
*(4)The importance of positive attitude:Positive attitude is of great importance in our personality. Many people, inspite of having sufficient talent and qualification, do not progress and succeeds in life because of their narrow outlook. Nobody likes people who have narrow outlook. In life only that person is considered will behave who have positive and health bend of mind. The real beauty of a man lies not in his physical appearance but in his work and good qualities. The ability and achievements of a person are judged by his mentality. That is why it is important that we improve our mental outlook. By adopting positive outlook we can get rid of mental dissatisfaction. This change will help you to contribute a lot in making your relations better and sweet with people as well as your personality will bright all over as like the stars in the sky.
*(5)Anger and irritation are your enemies:To be angry is part of human nature. Probably there is no man in this world who has never been angry for some or the other reason. But some people are such who become temperamentally angry. People who get angry and irritated habitually do not realize that this habit of theirs will be a hindrance in path of their personality development and they will become their own enemies.Anger results in foolishness and insanity. There is a saying that hot temper is the main obstacle in completion of delicate genes of the body. Sometimes delicate tissues and veins even get burnt, outwardly we do not come to know that damage has been caused but we destroy many hidden treasures in our body.
*(6)Spare time for social service:If we want to be recognized in the society and want to reach the pinnacle of success, we should not keep out self aloof from society. Our deep feelings and responsibility towards society makes us good and responsible citizen of the society we live in. The more we work for society and the more we remain connected with it, the more famous we will become the fame will enhance our personality and enthusiasm. Always remember that society is ours. We need it. Live not only for yourself but for the society.
*(7)Develop your creative power:Our creative streak and positive propensity can pay us dividends. One who is engaged in constructive activity of one or the other kind is always happy. All men should channelise their energies in creative work. Be it agriculture, physical labour, daily wager, craftsmanship, office work, domestic chores or social work. Breach in creativity is a breach in peace and happiness.
*(8)Know the value of time:Every moment of our life is a golden moment. The door of progress and development remain open for the person who knows to utilize and make best use of these moments. He not only pushes away all the failures and gets victory over all setbacks and obstacle but also becomes very popular in society dye to his punctual behavior. On the other hand worthless pursuits or pass these moments carelessly, face depression and disappointment on all sphere victims of vicious circle of failures.
*(9)Writing Skills
When the famed poet Shelley said, "Poets (read writers) are the unacknowl¬edged legislators of the world", he was paying a befitting tribute to the people who transform the world through the word. Jawaharlal Nehru made a name for himself as a seasoned politician but it was said of him that he would have made a bigger dent on the minds of the people as a writer. The power of the printed word is a known and acknowledged phenomenon. "I read it in a book", is often used as a clincher in an undecided argument. Herbert Drucker has written a book "Com¬munication is Power". It indeed is! But those aspiring to go up the slippery pole of success in compe¬titions of life, often blink away its impor¬tance. They either are 'innocent' of its importance, or worse, think that it comes naturally. Get down to the business of writing and see the improvement in your overall personality. The ability to communicate clearly in writing is one of the "most important skills you will ever master. It will help you to get your ideas across effectively and to get the results you want in your business and personal life. There is no mystery to good writing-it is a skill you can learn. There are a few executives who have rare kind of secretary who can take care of all sorts of correspondence with no more than a quick memorandum to work from. But for most of us, if there is any writing to be done, we have to do it ourselves. We have to write papers (book reports, term papers, college applications), business papers (memos, reports, letters of inquiry, letters of adjustment), home papers, invitations etc. We are constantly called on to put words to paper. It would be difficult to count the number of such words, messages, letters, and reports put into the mails or delivered by hand, but the daily figure must be enormous.
Be brief"THAT writer does the most, who gives the reader the most information, and takes from him the least time", wrote Charles C. Colton. This is an observation which everyone who writes should com¬mit to heart, an observation to post above the desk of "every businessman who dic¬tates a memo, of every housewife who pens a letter, and of every student who writes out a term-paper.
*(10)The purpose of writing is to communicate: A thought, an idea, a sentiment, a fact. The more concrete and concise these elements in a communication, the more precise, the more rewarding they are to the reader. "Brevity is the soul of wit", said Shakespeare. This maxim warrants re¬membering, along with Mr. Colton's ad¬monition, that we demand the least time from our readers. Clear and Complete Othe other hand, nothing can be more irritating and sometimes frustrating than the omission of essential detail Suppose, for example, the shirts you manufacture come in several styles, colors and sizes, but the order you have received in the mail gives no specifica¬tions. Or you are driving to visit a friend in the country and you come to a fork in a country lane; you consult the map he has sent you and he has omitted both the fork and the road you are to take. Someone writes down a telephone message from your out-of-town friends, telling you they're going to be in the city and will drop in to see you; but the mes¬sage contains no date, no time and noth¬ing to indicate whether they are coming alone or with their children. And there are the instructions for setting up your hi-fi tape recorder which take for granted that you know what a "patch cord" is. There is virtue in brevity, but you must never assume that your reader is as expert or as knowledgeable as you are about whatever it is you are writing. Brev¬ity is not an excuse for lack of clarity. And clarity, above all, is essential to what you have to say on paper. Certainly you want to avoid stiffness and rigidity in your writing (even when you send off an angry letter to the man¬ager of your local cinema). At the same time, you wouldn't write a report on the market conditions in the "chummy" manner of a letter to a cousin or a college room¬mate who has just become president of an organization. *Lively LanguageThere has been more pretentious non sense written and spoken about style than about any other literary subject. As a result, half the unpracticed writers assume an unnatural pomposity when they settle down to composition, three-eighths of them are intimidated, and only the one eighth left over are independent enough to forget about *style and write naturally Just as you have your own way of wearing your clothes or drinking soup, so you have your own individual way of expressing yourself. This does not mean that your natural way cannot be improved. Just as it is kind to tell a man who sucks up his soup nois¬ily that his social acceptability will be enhanced by applying the silencer, so it is necessary for an inexperienced writer to be told what errors or ill-manners in writ¬ing to avoid. Any writing interlarded plentifully with "goshes" and dashes and exclama¬tion marks, for example, grates on the reader, and is therefore bad manners. Any writing in which nouns are habitually qualified by two or more adjectives is too wordy and unlikely to express any meaning with precision. There are certain basic rules of good writing which are almost universal in their application, and within the frame¬work of which it is possible for writers of the most diverse gifts and styles to express themselves with individuality.
//**The main five rules are**//
(a)Prefer the short word to the long: The short word is gen¬erally better because it expresses your meaning more quickly and certainly. A deliberate search for short words leads to incisiveness in writing. How much better to say: "I couldn't come because it was raining", than "My attendance was rendered impos¬sible by adverse meteorological conditions." (b)Prefer the concrete word to the abstract word:In most writing it is possible to choose between concrete and abstract words. If you are:' writing about ideas, which are abstractions, you naturally have to use abstract words, but there is a deplorable tendency among many people to use vague abstract words where short concrete words would be better. (c)Prefer the Saxon word to the Romance: The Saxon word is what is bred in the bone; it is racy, idiomatic and direct. The Romance word is the genteelism assumed by Frenchified Englishmen. But good English writers still prefer, "wood" to "timber", "sail" to "navigate", "walk" to "ambulate", "sickness" to "invalidity". The English language has been immensely enriched by words from other languages, and it would be both impracti¬cable and foolish to hamstring your writing by turning a recommendation into a hard and fast rule. Use your commonsense-but avoid pretensions. (d)Prefer the short: Sentence to the long: Here again commonsense must be used. A succession of short sentences can be choppy. A succession of long sentences sends your readers to sleep. The best arrangement is a nice balance of short and long sentences, with a general preference for the short.
(e)Use no word that does not directly contribute towards the sense:It is astonishing how many "passenger" words you will find in print. They contribute heavily to dullness. A good writer is like a marksman: he fires one shot from his rifle and hits the mark, or near it. The indifferent writer blazes away both barrels of a shot-gun, hoping that the "spread" will make up for his lack of accuracy.In short, know what you want to say, and say it in the fewest words than can be used without baldness. The voluble are seldom really articulate. Precision of meaning is lost in the verbiage.

Kal Mila Waqt To Zufain Teri Suljha Doonga,Aaaj Uljha Hoon Zara Waqt Ke Sulajhne Mein,Yoon To Sulajh Jatee hein Uljhee Zulfain,Umar Kat Jati Hai Waqt Ke Sulajhne Mein....

Har karz dosti ka ada kaun karega, jab hum hi na rahenge to dosti kaun karega,Aey khuda mere doston ko salamat rakhna, varna mere jeene ki dua kaun karega. ....

Suni zindagi mein halchal si mehsoos hui, bejaan dil ki aaj dhadkan mehsus hui,Jane aaj kyu aisa laga, shayad aapki kami mehsoos hui....

Kaun rakhta hai yaad namo ko, log chehre tak bhul jate hai,Tum samandar ki baat karte ho, log aankho me dub jate hai......

Jis waqt khuda ne tumhe banaya hoga, ek saroor sa uske dil pe chaya hoga, pehle socha hoga tujhe jannat mein rakh lun phir usse mera ka khayal aaya hoga......

Humne socha tha ki shayad, hum hi chahte hai tumko, par tumhe chahne wala to kafila nikla,Dil ne kaha shikayat kar khuda se, paar khuda bhi tera chahne wala nikla......

Tere Dar pe, Arz kiya hai kitere der pe sanam hazar baar ayengey,tere der pe sanam hazar baar ayengey,Ghanti bajayengey aur bhaag jayengey......

Manzil ki taraf badhte raho.Jo dil kahe usi rah ko chuno,peeche walon ko age na jaane doaur jo aage hai unse aage niklo.Tabhi 1 acche Truck Driver banoge. ........

Zindagi jaise ek saza si ho gayi hai,gam ke saagar me is kadar kho gayi hai,tum kar do ek SMS yeh gujarish hai meri,tumari SMS ki aadat si ho gayi hai.......

**SHARE**

Aap pe kurbaan hmari Yaari hai, hanske mar jaane ki Tayyari hai,Yeh silsila na khatam ho humaari Dosti ka, humne to yaad kar liya ab aapki Baari hai.

Rishta banaya hai to nibhayenge,Har pal aapko hasayenge-satayenge,Pata hai aapko to fursat nahi yaad karne ki, Hum hi msg kr-kr ke apni yaad dilayenge.

Zindagi... Cigarette ki tarah hoti hai, Enjoy karo... Warna... Sulag to rahi hi hai, khatam to waise bhi ho hi jayegi.

Khwaish aisi karo ki aasman tak ja sako,Dua aisi karo ki khuda ko pa sako,U to jeene k liye pal bahut kam hai,Jiyo aise k har pal mein zindgi pa sako..!

Jahan ki gurbat me sukun nahi ayega,Gam-e-tohin se kubul nahi ayega.Maklul ki fitrat he ye kafir,Dimag fat jayega par ye sher samajh nahi ayega.

Wo yaron ki mehfil wo muskrate pal,Dilse juda hai apna bita hua kalKabhi guzarti thi zindgi waqt bitane me,Ab waqt guzar jata hai chand kagaz k note kamane me.

Apne gamo ki yu numaish na kar,Apne nasib ki yu aazmaish na kar,Jo tera hai tere dar pe khud ayega,Roz roz use pane ki khwaish na kar!

Har khomoshi mein ek baat hoti hai,Har dil mein ek yaad hoti hai, Aapko pata ho ya na ho par aapki khushi k liye roz fariyad hoti hai.

Dosti ki mahek ishq se kam nahi hoti,Ishq pe hi zindgi khatm nahi hoti, Agar sath ho zindgi men achche dosto ka, Zindagi kisi jannat se kam nahi hoti.

Zindagi Mein Kuch Lamhein Khaas Ban Gaye,Mile To Mulakat Ban Gaye,Bichhre To Yaad Ban Gaye,Aur Jo Dil Se Na Gaye,Wo AAP Ban Gaye.

Rabb kare sade yaar muskraunde rehen,Sohnia nu tarpaunde rehen, Yara nal mehfila v launde rehan, Kuri na fase koi gal ni, customer care nal kam chalaunde rehan.

Ishq ke sahare jiya nahi karte,Gum ke pyalo ko piya nahi karte,Kuchh Nawab dost hain hamare,jinko Pareshan na karo to wo yaad hi kiya nahi karte...

Kanjoos ki zindagi kya jeena, kabhi humari tarah bhi jiya karo,Roz mere sms padh kar sharam nahi aati, kabhi khud bhi SMS kiya karo.

Aap khubsurat hain itne, ke har shakhs ki zuban par aap hi ka tarana hai, hum nacheez to kahan kisi ke kaabil, aur aapka to khuda bhi diwana hai.

Na moh na maya hai; Aalas tumhi ko aaya hai; Humein bhi msg kar k dekh lo; Nokia/Motorola/Sony ne ye mobile sirf tumhari GIRLFRIEND k liye nahi banaya hai.

Yaad hum bhi aapko karte hai, yaad aap bhi hame karte hai,fark itna hai hum yaad ane par sms karte hai aur aap sms ane par yaad karte hai.

Raaz dil ka dil mein chupate hai woh, samne aate hi nazar jhukate hai woh,Baat karte nahi, ya hoti nahi, par shukar hai jab bhi milte hai muskurate hai woh.

Zindagi de 4 din hass khed k katt lo,pyar naal duniya ch khatna jo khat lo,lutt lo nazara jag wale mele da,pata nahio hunda yaaro aun wale wele da.

Kise-kise mutiyar de hai sir utte palla,PAGG wala munda dise dasan vicho kalla,Jeanan chall payian suitan da riwaaz na riha, Mera pehlan varga rangla Punjab na reha.

Asin jitte bazi tan mashoor ho gaye,Tere haseyan ch hase tan hanju door ho gaye,Bas ik tere jehe dost di dosti badoult,Asin tutte kach ton KÖHINÖÖR ho gaye.

Raaz dil ka dil mein chupate hai woh,Samne aate hi nazar jhukate hai woh,Baat karte nahi, ya hoti nahi,Par shukar hai jab bhi milte hai muskurate hai woh.

Zindagi de 4 din hass khed k katt lo,Pyar naal duniya ch khatna jo khat lo,Lutt lo nazara jag wale mele da,Pata nahio hunda yaaro aun wale wele da... Enjoy!

Moor ker na dekh mujhe, yoon hanstay hanstay,Mere dost hain baray hoshiyaar, keh dengay bhabhi Namaste.

Dil ke dard ko dil todne waala kya jaane,pyaar ke rivajo ko ye jmaana kya jaane,hoti hai kitni takleef kabar mein,upper se phool chadane waala kya jaane

Dil do to kisi ek ko,Aur do to kisi nek ko...Jo samjhe pyaar ke matlab ko..Jab tak saccha dildar na mile, try karte raho har ek ko.

Har khushi teri taraf mod doon,Tere liye chand taare tak tod doon,khushiyo ke darwaje tere liye khol doon,Itna kaafi hai ya do chaar jhoot aur bol du

Judai apki rulati rahegi,yaad apki aati rahegi,pal pal jaan jati rahegi,jab tak jism mein hai jaan har saans ye rishta nibhati rahegi.

Har daag, daag nahi hota, har yaar wafadar nahi hota,Yeh to dil milne ki baat hai, varna saat pheron mein bhi pyar nahi hota.

Tere naal dosti akhri sah tak nibawange,Tere pairan thalle assi ta talliyaan tikaawange,Jado marzi parakh lai mere dosta,Teri mashuk asi phasavange.

AMLI kehnda hai: Kafan na pao mere Chehre te, mainu aadat hai muskraun di.Ajj di raat na dafnaao mainu yaro, aaj umeed hai Bhukki wale truck de aaun di.

Yaad teri wich saanu chain koi na, Saade utte tenu reham koi na, Horan nu tu din raat SMS kare, saade leyi tere kol time koi naa.

Yaran de sache pyar nu yaad rakhi,mapian de satkar nu yaad rakhin,Punjabi sabiachar nu yaad rakhin,dil de kisi kone which iss nimane yaar nu yaad rakhin.

Meri ankho ko sapne fir dikha gaya koi, buzhti sason me mahak fir jaga gaya koi, kya ye sachmuch pyar hai, ya Chutiya fir se bana gaya koi.

Bade ajeeb hain ye zindagi ke raaste, anjane mod par kuchh log dost ban jate hain, milne ki khushi de ya na de bichhadne ka gam zarur de jate hain.

Aapake miss call bhi kya baat hain,Aapke sms bhi din raat hain,Kabhi kabhi phone bhi kiya karo,Suna hain aapake awaaz me bhi khas baat hain.

Apni Surat ka kabhi to didaar de,Tadap raha hu kabhi to apna pyaar de,Apni awaaz nahi sunani to mat suna,Kam se kam ek Missed call he maar de

Pyar ko mat chhupao, usey zarurat hai jatane ki, Apni pratibhaon ko mat chupao, unhe zarurat hai badhane ki, Ab aur perfume mat lagao, tumhe zarurat hai nahane ki.

Jise koyal samjhe, woh kauwa nikla, dosti ke naam par hauwa nikla,Jo roka karte they humein sharab peene se, aaj unki jeb se pauwa nikla.

Pyaar sab ne rabb nu vakh-vakh ditta,kise nu lakh te kise nu kakh ditta,Sahnu tuhade jeha yaar ditta,lakh ton v sava-lakh ditta.

Chale gaye ho dur kuch pal ke liye, Dur rehkar bhi karib ho har pal ke liye, Kaise yaad na aaye aapki ek pal ke liye, Jab dil me ho aap har pal ke liye.

Ek jaam ulfat ke naam, ek jaam mohabat ke naam. Ek jaam wafa k naam, puri botal bewafa ke naam, Aur pura theka doston ke naam

Mein pucheya rab nu: Tu jag pyaar da vairi kyun bana chadya?Rab hasseya te boleya: Tu kehra mere naal changi kiti hai.

Tu v taan yaar nu rab bana chadeya Daag ansuon se dhoye hain,Jab bhi tanha huye hain roye hain,Dil mein kyon na uge yaad teri,Dil mein tere hi khawab boye hain.

Ab umar ho gayi hai dil ki kitaab mein, kuch khusk paton ke siva kuch nahin raha,Jajbaat tamaam kho gaye lamhon ki dhool mein, ab dil mein dharkanon ke siva kuch nahi raha.

Log kahtey hain ki ladkiyan zindagi hoti hain maut nahi,Magar voh kya jane ki dhoka bhi zindagi deti hai maut nahi

Sitaron se agey jahan aur bhi hein,Abhi Mohabbat k imthan aur bhi hein,Tum hi nehi jalatey mere dil ko,College mein Ladkiyan aur bhi hein

Sabne kaha Dosti ek Dard hai,Humne kaha Dard kabool hai,Subne kaha is Dard ke saath Jee na Paogay,Humne kaha teri Dosti ki saath Marna kabool hai

Kasur na unka hai na mera, Hum dono hi rishton ki rasmein nibhate rahe,Woh dosti ka ehsaas jatate rahe, Hum mohabbat ko dil mein chupate rahe.

Mombati ke andar ka dhaga bola, Main jalta hoon to tu kyon pighalti hai?Mombati boli, Jisko dil mein jagah di woh bichade to aansoo to niklenge hi.

Tumhara hamara rishta to aankhon aur palkon jaisa hai, Agar palak kuch der na jhapke to aankh ro deti hai, Aur agar aankh mein kuch chala jaye to palak tadap uthti hai.

Na aana usse leke mere janaze mein,Meri Mohabbat ki tauhin hogi,Main 4 logon ke kandhe pe hounga,Aur meri jaan paidal hogi

Dil kareGeet Ban Ke Tere Bullan Te Aawan,Dil KarePanchi Ban Ambari Udd Jaava,Dil KareBanna Ek Taara Kade Chamka Kade Tutt Jaava,Dil kareBanna Teriyan Akhan De Hanjhoo Te Tere Saare Dukh Pee Jaava!

Nakaam si koshish kiya karte hain,Hum hain ki unse pyar kiya karte hain,Khuda ne takdir me ek tuta tara nahi likha,Aur hum hain ki chaand ki aarzu kiya karte hain

Ek ajnabi se mujhe itna pyaar kyon hai,Inkar karne par chahat ka ikraar kyon hai,Use pana nahi meri taqdeer mein shayad,Phir har mod pe usi ka intezar kyon hai.

Aansuon ko bohut samjhaya ke yun na aya karo, mehfil mein hamara mazaak na udaya karo, is par aansu bole mehfil mein tumhe akela paate hain isliye chale aate hain.

Chaand to nikla hai magar yeh raat na hai pehli si,Yeh mulaaqaat, mulaaqaat na hai pehli si,Ranjh kuchh kum to hua aaj teray milne se,Yeh alag baat ke yeh baat na hai pehli si.

Bhool Se Agar Koi Bhool Hui,To Bhool Samajke Use Bhool Jana,Arey Bhoolna Sirf Bhool Ko,Bhoolkar Bhi Hume Na Bhool Jana

Heer kahe Raanjhe se,O Sun Mere raanjhnaa!Heer kahe Raanjhe se,O Sun Mere Raanjhnaa!Jhuthe bartanon Ko Tum,Ragad- Ragad Kar Maanjhnaa!

Daulat Aur Sohrat sabke Pas Hai,Khushiya Aur Ghum Sabke Naseeb Mein Hai,Pyar Aur Nafrat Sabke Dil Mein Hai,Par Khush-naseeb Hai Hum kyonki Tum Jaisa Dost Hamare Pas hai

Khuda kisi ko kisi pe fida na kare, Kare to qayamat tak juda na kare,Yeh mana ki koi marta nahi judai mein, lekin jee bhi to nahi pata tanhai me

Sooni zindagi main hulchul mehsus hui,Bejaan dil ki aaj dhadkan mehsus hui,Jaane kyun aaj aisa laga,Shayad aapki kami mehsus hui.

Asi Mobile on rakhya te tere SMS da intzaar kita,Tere laryaan da etbaar kita,Asi call karan lagyaan pal v na layaa,Tusi SMS karan lagyaan nakhra hazaar kita

Khuda se maine ek dua mangi, dua me apni maut mangi,Phir khuda ne kaha maut to tujhe me de du par usko kya kahu jisne teri lambi umar mangi.

Khidki se dekha to raastey pe koi nahin tha,Khidki se dekha to raastey pe koi nahin tha,Raaste pe jaake dekha to khidki pe koi nahi tha

Kalam pharke ohde te kuch likhan lagga, das ohda bholapan likhan ya ohdi chaturai likhan,Dona rahaan te ake mere hath ruk gaye, das ohda pyar likhan ya ohdi judai likhan,Hasse lut ke oh dilan de haal puchdi, das ohdi majburi likhaan ya bewafaai likhan

Phool aisa ho jo baag ko khushbu se bhar de, Hamsafar aisa ho jo andheron ko roshan kar de, Dost aisa ho zindagi ko khushi aur mobile ko SMS se bhar de...

Vakhre subha de sade sajan payare,kadi gusa jeha aanda kadi lagan piyare,gal guseh wali karde gusa aan v na dinde,pehla dil taur dinde phir ron v na dinde...

Pyar Karnewalon ki kismat kharab hoti hai,Har waqt inteha ki ghadi sath hoti hai,Waqt mile to rishto ki kitab khol ke dekh lena,Dosti har rishtey se lajawab hoti hai

Ankho me aansuo ko ubharne na diya,Mitti ke motiyo ko bikharne na diya,Jis raah pe pade the tere kadamo ke nishan,Us raah se kisi ko gujarne na diya

Unj tenu Rab diya rehmata batheriya,jithe kite jaye galla hundiya ne teriya,Par jinne joge assi unni karange zaroor,Koi saade like sewa hove dasana zaroor

Sawaal paani ka nahi, Pyaas ka hai,Sawaal maut ka nahi, Saans ka hai,Dost to duniya mein bahut hain magar,Sawaal dosti ka nahi Vishwas ka hai

Suna hai asar hota hai baaton mein, Aap bhi bhul jaoge Do-Chaar mulakaton mein,Lekin humse bachkar kahan jaoge, Aapki dosti ki lakeer hai mere haathon mein

Aapki dosti ki ek nazar chahiye; Dil hai beghar use ek Ghar chahiyeBas yun hi saath chalte raho ae dost; Yeh Dosti hume umar bhar chahiye

Tu te hor kisse di ho gayi ni sannu laake Jhoothe laare,Galiyan de vich rulde phirde ni assi Naina de Vanjaare...

Baanh phad ke rok lende tenu, je sada chalda koi zor hunda,Asin tere layi kyon ronde, je tere varga koi hor hunda...

Adhi raat ik supna aan khloh janda,fir sauna aukha ho janda,pyar tere da dard meri nas nas to janda,saun rabb di main pyar nehi kita, eh pyar taan aap hi ho janda!

Jee karda hai tere kol aake ruk javan, Hanjhu ban ke akhan cho teriya galan te aake suk javan, Rabb hor kujh deve na mainu bas teri bukal vich aake mukk javan

Dosti ke mayne hamse kya puchte ho,Hum abhi in baton se anjaan hain,Sirf ek gujarish hai ke bhool na jana hame,Kyonki aapki dosti hi hamari jaan hai.

Saton Aasmaon ki sair ham kar aaye,Har ek tare se Dosti kar aaye,Ek Tara khas tha jise hum apne saath le aaye,Varna aap hi Sochiye ki aap is zameen par kyoon aaye?

Waade bhi dost ne kya khub nibhaye,Zakham muft mein aur dard tohfe me bhijwaye,Is se badhkar wafa ki misaal kya hogi,Maut se pehle hi dost kafan le aye

Bartan lohe de kade tuttde nahin,Maali apne baagh nu kade puttde nahin;Tutt jande ne kai baar khoon de rishtey,par rishtey Dosti de kade tuttde nahin.

Suraj paas ho na ho, Roshni aaspaas rehti hai,Chand paas ho na ho, Chandni aaspaas rehti hai,Waise hi aap paas ho na ho,Apki Yaadein hamesha saath rehti hai!

Legs utha ke karo,Tange faila ke karo,Ghuma ghuma ke karo,Aage peechey dono taraf karo,Jitna karoge utna halka mehsoos hogaOye I'm talking abt Yoga

Hotho se jo choo liya,Ehsaas Ab tak hai,Aankhe Nam hai, Aur sanson mein Aag ab tak hain,Aur kyon na ho... Khayi Bhi to 'HARI Mirch' hai.

Har phool ki ajab kahani hai,chup rehna bhi pyar ki nishani hai,kahin koi zakhm nai phir bhi kyun dard ka ehsas hai,lagta hai dil ka ek tukda aaj bhi uske paas hai.

Rukta bhi nahi, theek se chalta bhi nahi,Yeh dil hai kay tere baad sambhalta hi nahi,Is umar key sehra say teri yaad ka baadal,Talta bhi nahi aur barasta bhi nahi,

Kaghaz kaghaz haraf sajjaya karta hai,Tanhai main sheher basaaya karta hai,Kaisa paagal shaks hai saari saari raat,Deewaroon ko dard sunaya karta hai,Ro daita hai aap hi apni baatoon par,Aur phir khud ko aap hansaaya karta hai.

Kal mila waqt to zulfein teri suljha doonga,Aaaj uljha hoon zara waqt ko sulajhane mein,Yun to sulajh jatee hain uljhi zulfein,Umar kat jati hai waqt ko sulajhane mein.

Kaash is dil ki awaz mein itna asar ho jaye,Hum apko yaad karein, aur aapko khabar ho jaye,Khuda se maangte hain ki aap jise bhi chaho,Woh zindagi ki raah mein apka humsafar ho jaye.
Kitne jaldi yeh mulakat guzar jati hai,Pyaas bujhti nahin ki barsaat guzar jati hai.Apni yadon se keho ki yun na sataya kare,Neend aati nahin aur raat guzar jati hai.

Abhi to Baaj ki asali udaan baaki hai,Abhi to aapka imtihan baaki hai,Abhi tak to aapne zamin dekhi hai,Abhi to pura aasmaan baaki hai.

Zindagi hai to khwab hain,Khwab hain to manzilein hain,Manzilein hain to raste hain,Raste hain to Mushkilein hain,Mushkilein hain to MAIN HOON NAA.

Ret pe naam kabhi likhte nahin, kyonki ret pe likhe naam kabhi tikte nahin,Aap kehte ho tum patthar dil ho, par patthar pe likhe naam kabhi mitte nahin.

Zikar hua jab Khuda ki rehmaton ka,Hamne khud ko khushnaseeb paya,Tamanna thi ek pyare se dost ki,Khuda khud dost bankar chala aaya.

Mit gaye hain sab zakham,Bas nishaan baaki reh gaya,Saza puri ho gayi,Karna gunaah baaki reh gaya.

Jeena chahte hain magar zindagi raas nahi aati,Marna chahte hain magar maut paas nahi aati,Bahut udas hain hum is zindagi se,Unki yaadein bhi to tadpane se baaz nahi aati.

Tu dekh ya na dekh, tere dekhne ka gam nahi,Par teri ye na dekhne ki ada dekhne se kam nahi.
Ek ada aapke dil churane ki, ek ada aapke dil me bus jane ki,Chehra apka chand sa aur ek zid hamari chand pane ki.

Kuch nasha to aapki baat ka hai,kuch nasha to dheemi barsaat ka hai,humein aap yun hi sharabi na kahiye,is dil par asar to aap se mulakat ka hai!

Yaar yarran nal hasde rehnde,Te yaar yarran nal gusse,Aa sajna gal lag miliye,kite mar na jaiye russe.

Woh inkar karte hain ikrar ke liye,Nafrat bhi karte hain to pyar ke liye,Ulti chaal chalte hain yeh ishq karne wale,Ankhein band karte hain didar ke liye.

Yaadon ki dhund me aapki parchai si lagti hai, Kaanon me gunjti shahnai si lagti hai,Aap karib ho to apnapan hai,Warna seene me saanse bhi parai si lagti hai.

Woh ruthte rahe hum manate rahe,Unki raahon me palkein bichate rahe,Unhone kabhi palat ke bhi na dekha,Hum ankh jhapkane se bhi katrate rahe.

Manzil unhi ko milti hai, Jinke sapno me jaan hoti hai,Pankh se kuchh nahi hota, Hauslon se udaan hoti hai.

Teri dosti hum is tarah nibhayenge,Tum roz khafa hona hum roz manayenge,Par maan jana manane se,Warna yeh bheegi palkein le ke kaha jayenge.

Dhoka diya tha jab tum ne mujhe,Dil se main naraaz tha,Phir socha ki dil se tumhe nikal dun,Magar woh kambakth dil bhi tumhare paas tha.....

Kismat par aitbar kisko hai,Mil jaye khushi inkaar kisko hai,Kuch majburian hain mere dost,Warna judai se pyaar kisko hai.

Chand lamhon ki zindagani hai, nafraton se jiya nahi karte,lagta hai dushmanon se guzarish karni padegi, dost to ab yaad kiya nahi karte

Hume Hasne-Hasane ki aadat hai, Nazron se Nazar Milane ki aadat hai,Par hamari to nazar unse hai ja mili, Jinhe nazar jhukake Sharmane ki Aadat hai.

Bahut dur magar bahut paas rehte ho,Aankho se dur magar dil ke paas rehte ho,Mujhe bas itna bata do kya tum bhi mere bina udaas rehte ho??

Ai mere humnashin chal kahin aur chal,Is chaman mein ab apna guzaara nahin,Baat hoti gulon tak to seh lete hum,Ab to kaanton pe bhi haq hamara nahin.

Koi ankhon se baat kar leta hai,Koi ankhon mein mulakat kar leta hai,Bada mushkil hota hai jawab dena,Jab koi khamosh rehkar sawaal kar leta hai.

Qayamat tak tujhe yaad karenge,Teri har baat par aitbaar karenge,Tujhe SMS karne ko to nahi kahenge,Par phir bhi tere SMS ka intezar karenge.

Kaun jane kab maut ka paigam aa jaye,Zindagi ki akhari sham aa jaye,Hum toh dhundhte hain waqt aisa jab,Hamari zindagi apke kam aa jaye.

MIND AND BODY

Holistic Healing Of Mind And Body
Disease will never be cured or eradicated by only the present materialistic methods, for the simple reason that disease in its origin is not material. What we know as disease is an ultimate result produced in the body, the end product of deep and longacting forces. Even if material treatment alone is apparently successful, it is a temporary relief unless the real cause has been removed. Misinterpreting the true nature of disease and perceiving it in materialistic terms in the physical body is not healing. It distracts your thoughts from your true origin and hence from the effective method of treatment and, secondly, localising treatment to the body obscures true hope of recovery and raises a mighty disease complex of fear, which never should have existed. Disease is in essence the result of conflict between Soul and Mind, and will never be eradicated except by spiritual and mental effort. Such efforts can cure and prevent disease by removing those basic factors which are its primary cause. No effort directed to the body alone can do more than superficially repair damage, and in this there is no cure, since the cause is still operative and may at any moment again demonstrate its presence in another form. In many cases, apparent recovery is harmful, since it hides from the patient the true cause of his trouble, and in the satisfaction of apparently renewed health the real factor, being unnoticed, may gain in strength. The patient who knows, or who is by some wise physician instructed in, the nature of the adverse spiritual or mental forces at work, if that patient directly attempts to neutralise those forces, health improves as soon as this is successfully begun, and when it is completed the disease will disappear. This is true healing. Five hundred years before Christ, some physicians of ancient India, working under the influence of Lord Buddha, advanced the art of healing to so perfect a state that they were able to abolish surgery, although the surgery of their time was possibly as efficient, or more so, than that of the present day. Such men as Hippocrates with his mighty ideals of healing, Paracelsus with his certainty of the divinity in man, and Hahnemann who realised that disease originated in a plane above the physical —all these knew much of the real nature and remedy of suffering. What untold misery would have been spared during the last 20 centuries had the teaching of these great masters of their art been followed! But, as in other things, materialism has appealed too strongly to the western world, and for so long a time, that the voices of the practical obstructors have risen above the advice of those who knew the truth. Disease, though apparently so cruel, is in itself beneficent and for our good and, if rightly interpreted, it will guide us to our essential faults. If properly treated, it will be the cause of the removal of those faults and leave us better and greater than before. Suffering is a corrective to point out a lesson which by other means we have failed to grasp, and never can it be eradicated until that lesson is learnt. Disease may be prevented before its onset — or aborted in its earlier stages — if proper corrective spiritual and mental efforts be undertaken. Nor need anyone despair in any case, however severe, for the fact that the individual is still granted physical life indicates that the Soul who rules is not without hope.

U.S IS NOT UR ENEMY(ARTICLE)

WASHINGTON: US President Barack Obama told the Muslim world that "Americans are not your enemy" and renewed his pledge to travel to make an address
in the capital of a major Muslim nation. ( Watch ) Obama noted that he had lived in Indonesia for several years while growing up, and said his travels through Muslim nations had convinced him that regardless of faith, people had certain common hopes and dreams. "My job to the Muslim world is to communicate that the Americans are not your enemy — we sometimes make mistakes — we have not been perfect," Obama said in an interview with the Al-Arabiya satellite television network. "But if you look at the track record... America was not born as a colonial power, and that the same respect and partnership that America had with the Muslim world as recently as 20 or 30 years ago, there's no reason why we can't restore that." During the 2008 election campaign, Obama vowed to improve US ties with the Muslim world and said he would travel to a major Islamic forum abroad to send that message. "We're going to follow through on our commitment for me to address the Muslim world from a Muslim capital," Obama said in the interview with the Dubai-based channel. "We are going to follow through on many of my commitments to do a more effective job of reaching out, listening as well as speaking to the Muslim world," he said. Obama did not give a time, or a venue for his visit to a major Muslim capital. He was also asked about the highly personal tone of recent al-Qaida messages released since he was elected president in November. He agreed with his interviewer that the tone of recent videos seemed "nervous." "What that tells me is that their ideas are bankrupt," he said.

**MONTORING FOR SUCCESS**

Mentoring for success
FEEL LOST AT WORK AND NOT ABLE TO FIGURE OUT THE PATH FOR A SUCCESSFUL CAREER? CONFUSED ABOUT A CAREER DECISION? HERE COMES THE ROLE OF A MENTOR WHO COULD SUPPORT YOU AND LEAD YOU TO THE RIGHT PATH… The word ‘mentor’ has evolved from the Greek classic - Odyssey. The story goes that the Greek Goddess of learning, Athena, took the form of a half-male and halffemale, called Mentor to nurture the young prince, Telemachus, and to protect him from the enemies within the state. And it was since then, people who are experts in their field and are enthusiastic about helping others in developing their skills and competencies are referred to as mentors. Just like the story, mentoring today plays a very important role in today's India Inc. "Mentoring helps in achieving emotional maturity and resilience,” says Desikamani, founder and director, Mentor Learning Services Dr Uday Salunkhe, Group Director, Welingkar Institute of Management Development and Research notes, “A mentor could be someone you work with who is at a higher stage of his/her career than you are. Perhaps, they are your manager or someone who you have worked with in the past. Mentor takes you under his wings and provides advice to help you move your career in the right direction.” But mentoring is not only about supervising a person’s task and or giving some training. It is more about working with a person in a supportive manner and providing a right direction in life, both personally and professionally. As Desikamani puts it, “There are many situations in a person’s career when clarity eludes him/her. Decisions need to be taken and people look for that extra emotional support, a little piece of wisdom etc. to ensure that they are on the right track. A mentor precisely provides that.” “Mentoring helps one to get a balanced view of situations free from emotions and enables timely and objective career decisions. “It also helps in achieving emotional maturity and resilience,” adds Desikamani. A Helping hand Salunkhe, says that he has had multiple mentors who helped him in his career progression. “Prof. Y K Bhushan, one of the best academicians in the country has been a mentor to me as I have built my career in the field of higher education. I have learnt from him how critical it is to remain involved in the larger scheme of things, going beyond one institution to a larger goal of how one needs to play a role as the head of a renowned institution in nation building," he says. In the end, a mentor can help his/her mentee reach new heights with the right guidance and support. So, if you feel stuck at your job and need help, look out for a mentor as he/she can help you achieve the right success

Keep it light at your workplace!
AN OFFICE IS NO LONGER JUST A PLACE OF WORK, AS IT HAS BECOME EQUALLY IMPERATIVE TO HAVE FUN ALSO. EXPERTS OF INDIA INC. EXPLAIN THE IMPORTANCE OF HUMOUR EVEN DURING DIRE TIMES
SHEETAL SRIVASTAVA All in good humour It is said that humour is a positive emotion. Daniel Goleman, in his book ‘Primal Leadership’, speaks of the way a leader’s mood affects everyone in the organisation. “If the leader is stern and heavy-handed, others in the company dread coming to work, feeling they are always being critically watched. The atmosphere becomes vicious and bitter, and people are afraid to admit their mistakes or receive feedback,” says Lekha Sishta, VP - HR & Talent Management, SumTotal Systems – India. While there is so much written and talked about the global slowdown, employees feel bogged down and are affected by the negativity of the situation. In such a scenario, humour helps consolidate the staff and also brings a sigh of relief at the workplace. Many organisations feel it is critical that HR, in tough times, exhibit the humane side of their nature by being warm, considerate, open to hearing employees and staying in constant touch with them. Reaching out It’s important for employees to feel they are being heard. Thus, HR managers should make a conscious effort to reach out. At the Philips Innovation Campus’ (PIC) recent town meeting, various queries of employees were collated through the intranet and the same was put forth to the management team. All queries were answered transparently in a ‘Devil’s Advocate’ format. A group at PIC also has an interest group called ‘Fun-O-Holics’, which engages employees in fun activities. “We regularly organise the ‘Funathon’, which is a fun marathon around the campus,” confirms Y. Krishnamohan, senior director - HR, Philips Innovation Campus, Philips Electronics. It is also imperative that top managers, apart from work related discussions, share light moments with the staff. Senior managers sending out quick smiley mails to the team can help ease the situation at the workplace, no matter how grim it may be. Sharing is caring Sharing table space during lunch hour and tea-time always helps break hierarchical stand at the workplace. For the same reason, SumTotal Systems has started ‘Chai with…’ with the senior managers. “This session is not just about serious Q&A, but poking fun is absolutely encouraged without any recriminatory action,” further adds Sishta. In addition to this, SumTotal Systems personally sends out a mailer to its staff which is separate from work-related items. Everyone loves a smile and adores someone who can laugh at themselves at any given situation. The current slowdown may have induced a great amount of fear and anxiety in the minds of employees. However, there are many who are resorting to light-hearted humour just to stay away from the tension which is creeping in. Whatever the route, humour is necessary for ruffled situations to ease quickly.

**THE WAY FORWARD**

THE WAY FORWARD At a time when news about employee lay-offs is hitting headlines, industry experts believe that this situation can be viewed as a blessing in disguise. Utilising this tumultuous period as an opportunity to reassess one’s long-term career goals will help smoothen the journey PRIYA C NAIR Whether you call it a lay-off, downsizing or cost-cutting, the entire process can be quite traumatic for the laid-off employee. Although it’s acceptable for him/her to experience different emotions, it’s more important to move beyond the emotion and utilise the available time, constructively, to kick-start the beginning of a new phase in one’s life; one that is optimistic and enriching. Because even if it takes a little while, you can still bounce back. Industry experts suggest utilising this time to figure out your priorities while also being positive and goal oriented, for you may never know how it will turn out to be a golden opportunity in disguise. “View a pink slip as a temporary hiccup in your career. It’s a good time to get introspective by asking yourself questions that will help influence your long-term decisions like what kind of a job do I want, where do I want to work, where do my strengths lie, should I change my area of specialisation, etc.,” opines Mujtaba Merchant, Team Leader, Peopletree HR Services Pvt Ltd. A pink slip can also be viewed as an opportunity to explore other career avenues as well. “This period offers you an opportunity to study, research and explore new industries, markets, job roles, etc. Utilise this time for self-evaluation, fine tune your skills by enrolling for training/refresher courses, pursue temp jobs or freelance projects as you need to even look at earning as well, during this period,” adds Merchant. “Reflecting on what one has - like good health, supportive spouse, parents or friends, etc, compared to others helps creating the much required positive attitude,” says Marcel Parker, Chairman, Ikya Human Capital Solutions. Always keep an updated resume handy that is accessible to friends and recruiters. Also, networking through social networks plays a big role towards fetching a job that suits your qualifications. “Also, a person must be a little flexible during such times about compensation structures as companies wouldn’t be able to offer you pay packages, as per your expectations,” suggests Anupama Parthasarathy, Founder & CEO, Global Executive Talent. For a downsized employee, this tumultuous time can actually offer an array of career-enhancing opportunities. All you need is an optimistic approach and a willingness to learn! PREPAREDNESS, THE KEY Prepare an updated resume and send it to organisations you believe would hire someone with your qualifications and work experience. Even if you get only one response, use that as an opportunity to explore further. Be well networked with colleagues, head hunters and executive search firms and do a regular followup, even though there are no immediate openings. Update your skills by investing in short-term training courses. Try to get a mentor who could advice and guide you, during times of distress. Analyse your financial situation and prepare for hard days, in advance.

sprituality1

The moment i say “spirituality”, people say, “Yes, i want to be peaceful.” If you take a long walk and lie down, you will sleep peacefully. If you eat a good dinner, you will sleep peacefully. You don’t need the spiritual process to be peaceful. The longing for peace has essentially come from troubled minds of those who are torturing themselves — for them, peace is a big commodity that they have to seek. If you are not using your mind for self-torture, why would you think of peace? Would you seek exuberance of life or would you seek peace? You ‘rest in peace’. If you want to be peaceful, you must be dead. Now is the time to live. But for those who have lost control over their mental faculty what should have been a miracle has become a misery-manufacturing machine. Even being ecstatic is not a goal by itself. If you are blissful by your own nature, then the important thing is, you are not the issue anymore. If you are an issue yourself, what other issue will you take into your hands? You will not touch anything. When you are no more an issue, then you are willing to plumb the whole of existence to know what it is all about. Mysticism evolved only in those places where people learnt the technology of being ecstatic by their own nature. For you to experience a little bit of pleasantness within you, if you have to drink, dance, or do something crazy, you will never explore other dimensions of life because keeping yourself pleasant itself is a great challenge and a full-time job. For most, the pursuit of happiness has become the goal of life. Happiness is not something you achieve. It is something that you start with; it is the square one of life. As children, we all started joyfully without any hassle. So, do not understand the spiritual process as one of peace, joy or even bliss. Only if you are blissful, you will truly explore all aspects of life. There was a time when we believed that whether the tree in our garden bears fruit or not depended on God’s will. But we took charge of these things. Now we know if this tree is not bearing fruit what the problem is. We know what to do. So, when you understand that if your Self has not blossomed, it has got nothing to do with anything except that you are not doing the right thing with yourself. Once we understand that, the spiritual process actually begins. Once you are not an issue, being peaceful, joyful or blissful is not an effort anymore; then naturally you want to know what is behind everything. This is not an induced quest, seeking comes naturally. The spiritual process is not a conscious choice; it is a kind of compulsive behaviour. But unless you handle it consciously, it will not yield. Longing for the boundless is compulsive, but unless you become conscious, it will never work. If you want to know, experience and handle other dimensions, it is important that you have no rigid structures in your mind. The biggest thing in existence is not a god sitting somewhere. The life process itself contains the creation and the Creator. If you are willing to go beyond the surface substance of what you call yourself, suddenly everything is malleable. Here and There, Now and Then all merge. The individual and the universal are different no more. Unless one experiences the universality of one’s nature, human form is wasted. To eat, sleep, reproduce and die, you do not need a human body, intelligence and awareness. Every worm or insect can fulfil that better than a human being.

26/11

The fact that i chose to dine at the India Jones restaurant at the Oberoi Hotel that fateful night of 26/11, and the manner in which i escaped death by a whisker, reinforces my belief that there is a driving force that governs the entire universe. While the staff at Oberoi’s ushered us into safety through the service entrance, i kept praying to Santoshi ma. It is her grace that i could make it out alive that night. My upbringing in the Gandhi family has taught me that God is one, whichever deity we may choose to worship, or whether we address this super-power as Ram or Rahim. An important part of my childhood was spent at Gandhiji Sewagram Ashram where we were made to attend the evening prayers without fail. Bapu may not have been around us in small little ways, but when he was present, he made sure that we sang the hymns properly and got the intonation right. Over the years, i have started feeling that the everyday miracles that occur in nature as a fixed pattern — be it the rising and setting of the Sun, or the manner in which purnima and amavasya occur — are certainly taken care of by a higher power. Therefore, the manner is which man is exploiting his environment is giving rise to negative consequences. For me, religion and spirituality don’t mean wearing lucky charms, although i do feel that astrology is one of the most evolved sciences in India. It is like a lantern that helps you see the path ahead clearly. But still, we should not fall prey to false preachers or become dependent on a horoscope for everything. A few days ago, i helped organise a multi-religion prayer meeting at the Oberoi’s in honour of the departed souls. For me, it was like coming a full circle. But i still feel the anger and anguish in the air and i know that this time Mumbai will not allow itself to forget the brutal massacre.

SANSKRIT LIVES ON

If there is one Indian language that has managed to survive the onslaught of changes over centuries, it is Sanskrit. Believed to have originated about 4,000 years ago, it continues to flourish despite the fact that most of us can't even form a sentence in it. And yet, scholars strongly deny that it is a 'dead' language. ''It is pursued by lakhs of people today,'' says Professor Satya Vrat Shastri, an eminent creative and critical writer in Sanskrit, and recipient of the 42nd Jnanpith Award that was announced recently. Shastri, who has published over 7,000 original stanzas in Sanskrit, points out that his Sriramakirtimahakavyam has run into three editions of 1,000 copies each. “There is a great deal of interest in Sanskrit today,” he says, adding that it’s also getting changed to reflect the new way of life. And so while in the past, words of Persian origin, such as kalam (pen) and bandi (prisoner) were embraced by Sanskrit scholars, new words are being coined now to keep up with the scientific jargon of today. ''For example, stethoscope is called urassravayantra and computer is termed sanganakayantra in Sanskrit,'' says Shastri, who also taught the language to Thailand's Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn.

sprituality

Spirituality means love in action. It means enjoying our spiritual riches and sharing them with all we meet. We can learn to balance our spiritual practices with our worldly responsibilities, enjoying the fruits within ourselves and sharing our gifts with others. We can attain self-knowledge and God-realisation in the context of modern life. We can lead a productive, fulfilling life in the world while working towards spiritual ends. Leading an ethical life of non-violence, truthfulness, purity and humility, we can enjoy the fruits we gain within, in our meditation practice, and share these gifts with all we meet. Spirituality is the recognition that our true self is soul, and when we identify with our soul, we come to realise our oneness with God. There are some points you can follow in order to gain spiritual knowledge. View the world’s great spiritual traditions as so many branches of the same divine tree rooted in one Divinity. With such an approach, you could pursue higher knowledge even while remaining in your own religion. Religion has two dimensions. There is the outer dimension and then there is the inner dimension. When you focus on the inner dimension, wherein lies the deep spiritual essence known as mysticism, you begin to look beyond rites, rituals, and scriptural knowledge. You now are able to pursue spiritual realisation as a matter of first-hand inner experience. Our true self is soul. Within each of us is a soul, a great spiritual potential created in God’s image and likeness. This soul and not the body and mind with which we now identify ourselves with, is our real self. What is the purpose of life? The true purpose of life is to reconnect with your soul. Life’s supreme goal — the achievement to which all saints, prophets, and mystics summon us — is to regain our lost identity as soul. From this experience flows a peace that is not dependent on life’s circumstances. And this is a profound peace that is eternal. his experience is the true source of the happiness that we all crave. Meditation is the surest way to spiritual growth. This goal is not metaphorical or based on feelings or suppositions. It is as a matter of personal, verifiable experience. Meditation leads to a progressive unfolding of the higher self, with concrete goals and milestones along the way. Studying with someone who has mastered the subject that you wish to learn accelerates your learning process. In spirituality it is no different. By virtue of their own inner awakening, genuine gurus could awaken others. Spirituality is life-affirming. Spirituality does not demand that we renounce our families or societies. Spirituality implies just the opposite. Your inner life is not separate from your outer life. So lead a normal life, striving for excellence in your work, personal and community life. We call this balancing of outer and inner lives as positive mysticism. As we advance within through meditation and behold God’s Light within us, we see that same light shining in others. As a consequence of that realisation, a natural spirit of love and compassion becomes the hallmark of our outer lives. The deepest values of every great spiritual tradition are love for God, compassion and service for God’s creation, and a daily life imbued with ethical values. Haven’t these always been the aspiration of every spiritual seeker, ancient or modern?
