divine connections

We keep looking all around us for only perfections,

And keep on" hoping against hope"in all our life's situations.

Let us identify the perfections in the midst of imperfections,

And keep on hoping even in times of our "trials and tribulations"

When we go through "no gain without pain"kind of life's lessons, 

It is then that we truly learn more about God,s deeper intentions.

It is through complete faith in self and also in all our relations,

That we learn to recognize the divine signs and indications.

We also need to stop making endless and mindless calculations,

And gain firm control over all'our actions and reactions'

We need to accept all that comes our way witout any hesitation,

It is then that we would succeed in making "divine connections".

divine connections....

When you are going through life's ups and downs and surrounded with tensions...

When you are completely 'down and out' and bogged down with apprehensions...

When your life is just filled up with endless, meaningless and boring sessions...

Remember it is time to sit back and  make deeper connections!

When you simply seem to be going wrong in all you rlife's calculations...

When you simply seem to be losing all right and meaningful directions..

When you do not know how and when to give vent to your frustations...

Remember it is time to take some strong well thought of actions!

When you get the feeling that life is filled up with seemingly endless situations...

When you get the feeling of enduring the unendurable exasperations...

When you realize that life issimply devoid of any real joys and jubilations...

Remember it is definitely the call of mysterious divine connections!

divine help

    As I go down memory lane and flash back 16 years...I remember the day vividly...those days kids were small and I was following the strict regime of 4am to 11pm almost non-stop working hours...frantically trying to keep pace with time and doing the balancing act of being a homemaker and a teacher...needless to say it was literally a race against time...specially in the early morning rush hours..each day was a challenge...punctuality was rubbed deep into the psyche,partly due to the strict convent schooling and partly due to the professional ethics and needs...increasing the desire to accept the challenges...

    No wonder that I was on tenterhooks that particular day, dreading being late to work...rushing through the routine I managed to tread on the road that took me to the bus stop,where I would board a bus till a certain point and literally hop into another bus,get down and take a rikshaw or hitch a ride till the sight of the school gates brought out a sigh of relief frpm me...the initial thoughts bordered on pessimism...oh i won't be able to make it in time today...then with an almost magical turn of thoughts,theses words flashed upon my memory..."God sees you through someone's eyes...hears you through someone's ears...reaches out to you through someone's heart...helps you through someone's hands and walks to you through someone's feet.."

    Lo behold... the magic of optimisim and the power of positive thoughts...barely had the frown eased out of my brow and a happy smile settled on my face...that a car stopped by...'Hey where are you heading,may I drop you somewhere?"...I muttered a reply informing this someone about my destination..."Oh I am headed right there,please hop in.."the next ten minutes of my ride in someone's car had my mind clouded with a plethora of thoughts ranging from confusion to discomfort to anxiety to relief to wonder and amazement...before i realized the schhool gates were in sight much to my relief..I got down and turned to thank the someone...the car had sped away and the someone was not in sight...i rushed in to the school...and through the day's work...and through the rest of the days...amd the months...and the years...

   Time has flown away but the memories of that "divine help" are still crystal clear in my memory..

let us ponder awhile and think of similar incidents in our lives...and we will be pleasantly surprized to find several of these instances...people may be different,names may be different,times may be different...but what remains common is the strong brush with the divine power in each of our lives"

divine moments

    There are some very special days... filled with divine moments...moments that connect you to your higher and real self and lift your spirits...as your spirits soar your belief in the divine and also you yourself is reinstated...the pain and pressures of the past are released...your hopes and aspirations acquire wings...how wonderful would it be if each day was like this special one...or in retrospect... is it not?
    Yes in such divine moments we do realize that each day dawns with new hopes and many such divine moments,some we recognize others we fail to...we live in such a self -centered,self-created,self -inflicted environment where we build walls around us which disconnect us from others and eventually with our own selves or the divine...is there any difference in the two...that's the question we need to ask ourselves?
   On one hand the truth is that each and every moment that we live...is indeed a magical moment...a moment  filled with divine interactions and interventions...on the other,there is this very basic and simple fact of life that life does not move at our will and at our pace...when it does,we are happy...when it doesn't we are sad...but how would we experience the good or be able to differentiate it from the bad...and then it is also said"nothing is good or bad,only thinking makes it so"...confusing?
   Well not really...what i am trying to convey through these reflections is that the power of being connected eternally with the divine is in our own hands and as simple as our reflexes that make our survival instincts...we only need to be aware of these connection and avoid interconnections with the negative thoughts that cloud this awareness...sounds simple and simple it is...it requires less energy than required for negative thoughts...try experiencing this and soon it will become a habit...and life would be nothing but blissfully divine...happy divine connections
