The best things in life....

There are some moments in ur life when u really really feel lucky...n contended....!
n believe me no-one on this earth is so unlucky that (s)he hasnt experienced anyone of these moments.......
Its just the matter of realising ur best moments...placing them in a small photoframe in ur heart...n not letting them just fade away with time...!
Not evryone here is a champion...but who says only champions stay happy......
Its YOU n only YOU who can make urself happy.....
Nothing can harm u more than ur own thoughts.....n Nobody can satisfy you more than urself....!
Its ur nature which governs everything in ur life coz I beleive that to evrything bad there is a good side n vice-versa....its entirely upto YOU how u take it...!
More than anything..I have heard ppl say "Y me....y only me? " ....Did they ever ask this question in their happy times....n did they ever realise that happiness is incomplete if it is constant.....sad moments have to come in between so that happiness doesnt loose its importance...... n the best way to come out of those sad moments is to go deep in ur heart n recall all those contended moments when u were so very much happy.....that will give ur confidence a great boost n u'll emerge out of that issue happily...!
Believe me guys..Life is not that bad...its infact very very good coz its "urs"!!!!!!
Life ,in its own ways, aims at gradually transforming you to your best.....but for that matter...you have to co-operate with it n take it as it comes, Happily.....!
Love Life........ n there it comes......offering you its best!

Ask yourself a question!

Well, what is the purpose of life? Right from our childhood, we have been fulfilling our desires. All we wanted as babies was mothers' milk. Then we started asking for chocolates, then bicycles, then motorcycles & then cars etc. Apart from our material needs, our social needs also started growing. We wanted to come first in our classes, then we wanted to join premier schools for our education, then good jobs, good employers, fast track careers and on and on. It seems that the needs are never fulfilling and there seems to be no end to them. Let's ask a few questions to ourselves. Is there any limit of achieving? Is having a Mercedes enough? Why not a helicopter? Why not a 16 seater craft? Are we ever going to be satisfied? However, the life has got certain period. Therefore, the period of fulfillment of needs is limited by the span of life. If we think about the net output of our lives, is there anything that we have really gained? Do we carry anything with us at the end of our lives? Then what is the objective of living?

And the answer is.....

(This post is the probable answer to the question raised in the previous post.)

There seems to be no limit to the outside comforts. Therefore, there has to be something within us which can be the purpose of our lives. Hindus call this state of inner self as "Moksha". In more scientific terms, "Moksha" or salvation is the state of consciousness of the mind, or state of awareness of the mind. It is just the opposite of unconsciousness. It may be called as super consciousness. How can one achieve super consciousness? Perhaps, by trying to live in the present moment. By trying to be more and more aware about everything one does. For example, when we eat, we also think about our problems with our bosses/spouses/children etc. That means we are not fully aware about the eating activity. When we eat, we must be fully involved in eating. When we think, we must be fully involved in thinking. Should one sacrifice everything in pursuit of super consciousness? No, the idea is to be fully involved in anything one does. This means that there should be full involvement in playing sports, reading, cooking, eating, watching movie, listening to music or having fun. The practice of awareness starts from our day to day activities.
