My Funeral by Paulo Coelho
The journalist from The Mail on Sunday appears at my hotel in London and asks one simple question: “If you were to die today, what kind of funeral would you like?”
The truth is that the idea of death has been with me everyday since 1986, when I walked the Road to Santiago. Up until then, I had always been terrified at the thought that, one day, everything would end; but on one of the stages of that pilgrimage, I performed an exercise that consisted in experiencing what it felt like to be buried alive. It was such an intense experience that I lost all fear, and afterwards saw death as my daily companion, who is always by my side, saying: “I will touch you, but you don’t know when. Therefore live life as intensely as you can.”
Because of this, I never leave until tomorrow what I can do or experience today- and that includes joys, work obligations, saying I’m sorry if I feel I’ve offended someone, and contemplation of the present moment as if it were my last. I can remember many occasions when I have smelled the last perfume of death: that far-off day in 1974, in Aterro do Flamengo (Rio de Janeiro), where the taxi I was traveling in was blocked by another car, and a group of armed paramilitaries jumped out and put a hood over my head. Even though they assured me that nothing bad would happen to me, I was convinced that I was about to become another of the military regime’s “disappeared”.
Or when, in August 1989, I got lost on a climb in the Pyrenees. I looked around at the mountains bare of snow and vegetation, thought that I wouldn’t have the strength to go back, and concluded that my body would not be found until the following summer. Finally, after wandering around for many hours, I managed to find a track that led me to a remote village.
The journalist from The Mail on Sunday insists: but what would my funeral be like? Well, according to my will, there will be no funeral. I have decided to be cremated, and my wife will scatter my ashes in a place called El Cebrero in Spain- the place where I found my sword. Any unpublished manuscripts and typescripts will remain unpublished (I’m horrified at the number of “posthumous works” or “trunks full of papers” that writers’ heirs unscrupulously publish in order to make some money; if the authors chose not to publish these things while they were alive, their privacy should be respected). The sword that I found on the Road to Santiago will be thrown into the sea, and thus be returned to the place whence it came. And my money, along with the royalties that will continue to be received for another seventy years, will be devoted entirely to the charitable foundation I have set up.
“And what about your epitaph” asks the journalist. Well, since I’m going to be cremated, there won’t be a headstone on which to write an inscription, since my ashes will have been carried away on the wind. But if I had to choose a phrase, I would choose this: “He died while he was still alive.” That might seem a contradiction in terms; but I know a lot of people who have stopped living, even though they continue working and eating and carrying on with their usual social activities. They do everything on automatic pilot, unaware of the magic moments that each day brings with it, never stopping to think about the miracle of life, not understanding that the next minute could be their last on the face of the planet.
The journalist leaves, and I sit down at the computer and decide to write this. I know it’s not a topic anyone likes to think about, but I have a duty to my readers – to make them think about the important things in life. And death is possibly the most important thing. We are all walking towards death, but we never know when death will touch us and it is our duty, therefore, to look around us, to be grateful for each minute. But we should also be grateful to death, because it makes us think about the importance of each decision we take, or fail to take; it makes us stop doing anything that keeps us stuck in the category of the “living dead” and, instead, urges us to risk everything, to bet everything on those things we always dreamed of doing, because, whether we like it or not, the angel of death is waiting for us.

Broken Dreams
Dear Paulo,
Broken Dreams is very good theme for your latest outstanding work.
Dreams are shattered or broken by the compromise but still people should believe in the dreams. Dreams is very complicated terminology and it has wide range of opinions and book about it. Similar to love, faith, hope and religion.
I have read Eleven minutes as per the resolution this year and the dream of Maria of exploring for an adventure, marrying a good lovable man and giving and getting love is shattered on many occasions.She has to make compromises with her dreams. But finally she was destined to live happy.
Broken is nothing, dreams can never be broken. Dream is far bigger vision of human mind which are hanging like stars in the night. The dream can vary and the dream could be different. Materialistic dreams like getting an degree, buying house, car, lottery, fame, job, … Spiritual and religious dreams like enlightenment, nirvana, excitement, happiness, …
and many more.
As far as my understanding for your book, “The Winner Stands alone”- broken dreams is a good theme and when the dream are broken then human are not longer controlled by power of soul, then the mind can rule over, then the changes can be seen.
For e.g. John lenon was famous personality. A great singer and great soul. Now, there was another guy who was nobody before he killed someone who was somebody. David Chapman.
So, Broken dreams is good theme for many work and I think writers can truly explore more from such theme.
Good luck !
God blesses you !
and
God bless you all !

Dear Santosh,
interesting this idea of when dreams are shattered, then the mind rules over the soul. I don’t totally agree with the view that this is the moment when things can be seen.
When one is actually living one’s dream - this is also visible to others.
Love

Dear Paulo,
Well yeah, things could not be seen in instant but maybe later. I also like one great idea that,
When you have a dream, universe and all other elements surrounding you will help you to achieve your dreams. e.g. “You”
God blesses you !
and
God bless you all !
Celebrity Syndrome
Dear Paulo,
Celebrity are public figures in our society. I don’t know why their is this difference between normal ordinary people and celebrity. Humans we all are and humans we all should be till our existence. I agree that some are genuine with talents of art, creation, science, movies, drama, and so on.
Many of those who are celebrity does not necessarily be skillful possess great talent, many of those who wanna be celebrity are highly skillful but they are not.
Every individual has some duty to perform on this earth. Some become writers like Paulo, Shakespeare, Neruda … and some become Celebrity like Johnny depp, Al Pacino, …some become artist Leonardo da vinci, … and they are known to normal ordinary human like us. The reflection of their great work divides ordinary VS extra-ordinary. Maybe this is why the world is changing. With so many great crazy peoples like these.
Everything is driven by path which is already written in your “hidden scripts”. The path unknown. We are walking a journey which is moved by mind and heart. Anyways, hardly anyone will disagree not to see him/her as an celebrity.The mass media penetration has great impact and role which has played for becoming anyone celebrity.
One wise man once said to me, “when you have little money you have little choices to make and when you have more, you will have more problems to face.”
Maybe he is true. Whatever any person do and become in life, the most important of all is “satisfaction”. What if he does not get it even after becoming a celebrity?
What if he is living not his life but a life of others? What if he never wanted to become a celebrity? But has to be a celebrity because his father/mother/… were previously one of them.
Although there would be difference between the public figures and celebrity. Greene says “You simply have to be present, in the right place at the right time.” Whereas “…public[ly famous] people were once defined as such based upon the fact their remarkable skills had brought them to the attention of the public,” (Source: Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celebrity)
Finally I would say, this is very open topic and maybe someday in future some one will make medicine to become a celebrity. It will say, Take two pills in morning and in evening and in one month you are going to become celebrity. Ha ha ha…(Joke)

Q&A with Santosh Kalwar
Czarinasays,
Here is what I would say for your questions, Even though I will write ten books on these subject, it will not be enough to satisfy all human souls but as you have asked, here is short description of what this poor guy from Himalaya feels about these issues-
Q). How would you differentiate these 3 (Faith, hope and love) ?
A) Human being is the hope. The "H" in the "Human" words stand for "H" in "Hope". Faith is for focus of mind to certain things or object. and love is for life.
Q)Can a person survive on faith alone? or hope alone? or love alone?
A) Yes they can and they are surviving on these three elements, with or without them.
Q)or must these elements (faith, love, hope) always go together?
A) No, it is not necessary that these elements should go together. But if they go together then there will be complete peace and solitude in humanity. (Which we are currently lacking in the present world and it is even getting worse everyday!)
Q)what do you believe is the most important among these? (if you think you can live with just one OR if one of these failed you.. example, if you have had failed in love or lost the faith or hope)
A)I don't believe, I have them in me. I know how to give love, I know how to have faith and I know how to hope hope.
Having said that, if I am failed in any of these vital pills for humanity(faith, love, hope) my physical existence will be no more.
Q)would you be able to give an example (taken from your experiences or made it up–analogies ) on how these 3 link together?
A) LOVE FAITH HOPE
-Without love there is no life, without hope there is no physical existence of humanity and you need faith to have hope and love.
-Why are we worried about these pills for humanity (love, faith and hope), just concentrate on daily normal life and when you will be very old, you will easily know the answers.
-The pills for humanity such as love, faith and hope needs to be taken every morning when you wake up and every evening when you sleep.
-Don't be afraid with any one and any body not even vampires or devils or even death then you will slowly understand the meaning for these humanity pills such as love, faith and hope.
-A Single human life good deeds will add peace and prosperity to entire humanity and with humanity pills, your behavior also will be good. Therefore, just think less and do more, don't regret and don't pretend, as the flowing of river never stops, as the rain drops touch your face in the raining days, as the sun light kills darkness as the mother earth balances herself.., we will change.., in that change, we will transform ourselves into perfect individuals, those with supreme intellect and the power just like prophets. One day, all humanity will transform into pure humanity, those with the power of truth, love, faith, trust and supreme Consciousness. That day, is not very far....,
If you need any further explanations, please write it to me.., I would be happy and try to make you satisfied with my poor words. Thank you !
God blesses you !
and
God bless you all !

Questions and Answers
Q)Does living have any finality? Do I truly have a mission? Or is my passage in this world a matter of chance?
A)Yes, it does have finality. Yes, you truly belive in your mission.
Nothing is matter of chance and there are never coincidences. Whatever we may assume as chace or coincidences were our own "decisions" based on the course of life.
We are born and we start to learn slowly, then we know our homes, our family, our relatives. We start to know that we have a name and everybody around us also have names, our knowledge then increases by visiting school, churches or temples. We see problems in daily lives, we choose a path or dream or our career. The path which we choose never happens by chances because in all those path, we are the ones who are responsible for our decisions, no body else. So, embrace it, protect it and live every day with full of joy and happiness.
I heard that, Jesus said, "I will take all of your sins and I am going to suffer for you all..." Let us assume for a moment that, he was Lying.., Nobody even God will not take a single human suffering because God is also suffering like each one of us.
(If you want more detail, then post comments here I will explain more.)

Fear of Death
Dear Paulo,
Good.., it is good for ourselves.., Don’t be mad on me for stating it is good but I know, it is good to see the death close to your eyes. (Why? and why am I saying this, will be discussed later sometimes…)
-”Live in moment, every day is the new beginning of life and every night is the end of life.”
-”Those who have not seen death close to their eyes will never live with full potentials.” (I can see some eybrows raised..)
-”Most of us fear death and those who speak of not fearing death are simply lieying.” (…”109 Quotes, 07 Poems and a Song of despari…”)
Well, I should stop writing too may quotes since I may just end of writing another book of quotes. I need to finish my first Novel as per the resolution this year…, Excuse Me…, :)
God bless you all !

When do you need to break the rules?
Q)When do you need to break the rules ?
A)We need to break the rules whenever, wherever and by whatever means and medium. No rule is the best rule but at the same time with rules, we are controlled and monitor or are governed into specific path. Whatever be, most of the problems nowadays, are just because the creators of the rules are destroyers. How can you trust someone who has no ability to take control of his own actions? How can you trust those institutions which are build up with the pillars of unjustice, wrong doings and proper policies.
In summary,
-Do what you feel good, and no rule is the best rule.
-Based on individual differences, there will be differences thoughts and idealogies which should be tracked down if followed the common rules of the game.
-To trust on some rules, we need to trust those who are creators of the rule above law.
-Well, if you believe in God, Nature and Religion then you must follow their rules but if you are the creator yourself, you are bound to disobey those rules.
-Sort and simple, follow your heart and listen to your inner voice, everything you do is for good and happens for good. MOVE ON...
God bless you all !

Review for "Eleven minutes" to Paulo Coelho
I promised to finish one of the book written by you, "Eleven minutes".
Yesterday, I finished the book and the story of prostitute, "Maria".
****************************************************
Below is my review for your work "Eleven minutes"
****************************************************
Well done, the book is written in very social context where life of an ordinary human being is conceptualized. Especially, the sex workers in Europe and their living condition. There are many places where you have tried to show the real picture and difference between sex and sacred sex. These two are completly two different elements in human life.
Maria chose a life she wanted, she wanted to show her parents that she could live independent and at the same time she also wanted to be loved. (Fantasy world and get a love of her life), she was driven my sense of passion for material world which took her to brothel.
Very interestingly written and well-researched on the topic of prostitution. Despite in some places, same stuffs were repeated like (orgasm, money, job etc) and it was little difficult to understand why she/Maria could not choose to go back and live her life in Brazil ? If she wanted she could have easily gone back but why not? But again as you mentioned in the book, she was looking for adventure and so on.
Anyways, Good work and I will give you my rating for the book-
Rating: 4/5
**************************************************
There are couple of things, that popped out in my mind-
1. I am predicting that hopefully, you will be awarded with "Nobel Prize in Literature" during your lifetime or maybe after that.
2. Keep up your good work and all the best in your future projects.
God bless you !
and
God bless you all !

Anonymity on the Internet
After doing my own self marketing for the book, I am back to give my insights on this issue.
Good question especially for Researchers on the field of the Internet. (They are still working on this issue..., Sorry for the delay and Please Wait...)
Being Anonymous has many setbacks together with upbrining your either brightside or darkside or whatever you may want to call it...
Every individual is unique. See for example the faces, character and behaviors. We are different in religion, caste, creed and these attributes but we should not forget we are branches of the same common tree called, "Human beings".
Naming is done for identifiation either you like it or not. Liking is based on personal experience and attributes of the person.
When some of us might disagree that, We are having darker side of our own self, some might see the darker side as bright side too.
As God is unknown so is "somebody" who resides in all of us.
It is true that one should stand up and show their true identity and must hold accountable of their deeds, it is also true that some people do not want such identity to come out.
Can we answer where is God? Or, Who is God and what was his name? We can say for example Jesus is Our only God or Allah is Only our God or ... but why don't God himself has a real name?
God is God and Humans are Humans, He is inside all of us and we are inside him too.
In general, we need to identify people because that identifation will give values to his ideas, insights, critics and he/she is accontable for their deeds. (They must be accontable)
Fear is one issue but this is not the real issue.
Let me give one scenarios,
There are three people let us suppose: A, B and C
They all committed a sin such as killing Mr. P.
How do you identify who is the culprit? Should we say, All of the three were culprits or criminals when they all do not speak the TRUTH.
Therefore, Those who dare to speak the truth always should accept the truth. Those who do not dare to speak the TRUTH are scared to accept it.
Being Anonymous also is based on Experiences that we encounter in our lives. (While I was reading Paulo Coelho Blog Readers or Comments above) Some of us has said,
-I am business personel
-I hate to disclose my true identity simply because I might be contacted or communicated and so on...
Therefore, those who do not want to disclose their true identiy, it is OK but for those who do wrongdoings hiding behind the walls they are not doing good.
-You are first not being true to yourself
-You do not want to accept what others has to say
-You value your own judgement and do not care
-You had very bad experience
And So on...
A single human life is worth living with true identity attached to it.
Remember, The concept of dualism always resides in all of us. We feel sometime good and the very next time we might feel bad. We are just humans nothing else. We do our work, we enjoy what we do and sometimes we hate what we do not like to share, care, show or fear.
Techonlogically speaking,
There is one drawback in User Registration which we use in the Internet. The main drawback is we have got loads of updates in Operating System but where are the updates in User Registration System. We are using the same traditional system of Registration.
Username: .......
Passoword: .......
With this System, We cannot identify who the person really is and what are his motives or opinion. Here is one million dollar idea-
-Develop such a system where User will not be aware of his/own registration.
-You can track the identity of the User but User is unaware of his/her entrance on any Content Management Systems.
But Wait a Minute, (Well, I see some of you are looking me with strange eyes)
-There is some privacy issues here we need to deal with.
-When we talk about the personal privacy this new system might not work then.
We have in us two sides. Let us say for now,
-Bright side (Good side, God side, Hero side, ..)
-Dark side (Bad side, Devil side, Villian side, Pirate side,...)
To raise either of these sides are our own duty. We may raise our brigt side being truthful, accountable and transparent. Or, We may raise our dark side being untruthful, irresponsible, and non-transparent.
Did you realize one open question in the above paragraph?
-What is our duty?
I am human, I want to raise either my bright side or dark side. This is my responsibility nobody's else.
When you will raise you bright side, you will end up being brighter but when you will raise your dark side, you might end up being less at shight.
Therefore, My dear humans Please try to understand the words of wisedom.
We always hate when our father, fore-father and gradfather tell us to do this, or that simply because we think they do not think what we are currently thinking. But that is not the truth, the truth is they have passed their entire lives being what we are at this current time.
You can always disagree with me, I accept. I will kneel down and bow my head and will say you sorry if I did something wrong. Because, deeper inside me, I see the power of "Truth".
There should be "Freedom of Speech and Expression" given to all of us because that is our birthrights. Still in some countries it is not visible.
Technologically, there are some programs which could be used to track the user's identity.
Here are few links to it-
http://www.cloakfish.com/
There are some services, which can also be used for anonymizing services such as I2P or Tor for tweaking the IP address of the User but it can also be found out easily.
Remember, you cannot get away by doing the wrongdoings.
There is also a good side to it,
For example when Scientist review the research paper they send the for peer review where the author of paper is not disclosed. Those peer reviewers are also not disclosed.
Sometimes being identified could result into death and sometimes being identified could result into fate.
It always depend on the way we think.
There were plenty of ideas still in my head and I must stop it writing here for free... (Just Kidding)
Now, I think I should do more research on this issue and once I finalize and come to the conclusion of how we can reduce Anonymity I will get back to you.
You can agree or disagree it does not make any difference to what I think simply because, I accept whatever comes in my life. (Good or Bad)
Remember,
"By 20, you should be smart; by 30, you should be strong; by 40 you should be rich and by 50, you will become wise."
Good day !
God bless you all ! :)

How to tear down walls?
Dear Readers,
With curiosity and passion of reading your ideas and opinion, I, one among you all would like also to give some words to this question, "How to tear down walls?".
May be, My explanation will not give any insights or great ideas- Please excuse me for this.
Let us get started then-
Tearing down a wall or breaking wall or breaking boundaries are simple stuffs to do. These are physical entity created by us and could easily be destroyed by us.
Many of us around here are discussing on the issue related to tearing down the walls within your self such as greed, race, religion, sex and so on.
How can we even think this could be successful? Well, those elements which are inside us are never going to change and those which are outside us are already broken.
We live by opinion and ideas, with our own philosophy of life. All those elements such as love, race, religion, life and culture etc. These are all part of every individual. These elements are different and we have our own personal "definitions" based on our personal "experiences".
When we try to listen other people's opinion and their definitions about these factors we tend to disagree and to some we agree.
Those who can lie can gain popularity easily. I do not know if there is something which called "believe". As said by Oscar Wilde, "Experience are mistakes", are we really gaining experience of are we just committing the mistakes?
A civilized society is formed when every individual in that society are bound to obey the rules and regulation which is for the benefit of their own society.
How much civilized society we have in this world? And, why do we think we are civilized? We might think that we are civilized society since we have power of intellectuals, full of resources and big fat rules which strictly has to be followed.
I feel pity for such society. The best rule in the world is No rule.
Once you start to follow the rules and regulation of your society you are bound to have "differences". When you have self differences within yourself, how can you have civilized society?
There are many examples and theories which are piled up in the dust of some libraries around the world. Those theories and books are food for rats and insects. At least some form of animals can sustain their lives with those rotten theories.
We are living by Scriptures, opinions and demoralizing elements which are root cause of our own self destruction. When will our tiny brain realize that, "We are all equal".
Difference is religion and culture has become mirror illusion. There is nothing popping up without the knowledge of others around us.
How can you break the barrier of relationships? We still are fighting for it, don't we? My first wife, second wife and so on...
Self differences inside us creates self destruction. We are destroying our destiny by creating the difference all around us. WE have walls of communism, race, relationships, religion and many those factors where our understanding is very limited.
Wake up people, please wake up....
Live the way you want to live but try to listen what others have to say too. You can always disagree but try to find what is the alternative of disagreement.
A week ago, I was watching a movie based on Jesus Christ and his life. I do not know how many times he has said, "I tell you the truth..."
When a person says, "I tell you the truth..." Is he really telling the truth?
Well, that is another point of discussion and let me not open it here. But, let me go back to the same question of how to tear down the walls?
Physically, Very simple-
1. Hire some machines which can be operated by human.
2. Use the machine to tear down walls.
3. Remove the walls
4. Now, you are successful. Good luck.
Mentally, Very Very Simple-
1. Accept everything which comes in your life.
2. Be truthful not to others but to yourself.
3. Life a life full of simplicity, the beauty will blossom along the way.
4. Respect, Obey, Follow, Give, Share, Encourage, Motivate and Smile to yourself and those around you.
5. Be like a child.
6. No human should claim he is God or (he is son of God as done by Jesus), or I am God itself. (Allah, Krishna, Buddha ...) Let us call them "Pure humans". A human with no self motives.
7. Live one day and die the same day. (How?) Do not care about yesterday and do not over think on tomorrow because you are not living in past or future, you are living now. (As I am writing this comment, I have started my day. After the sunsets and darkness prevails, I am going to end my day. I am going to die, Please do not worry because hopefully, I will be awake again tomorrow But again, hope is not with me it is for your satisfaction. I only hope to live only one day.)
Let me put it in a loop now.
Could any one of us follow 1-7 steps?
Yes
No
If your answer is Yes, then you are in Human civilization group.
If your answer is No, then ask yourself why not?
The Human civilization group is the world of "no difference". A world of complete peace and no walls. Where there is people and all those live are god. A pure humans existence.
(I am sorry, I have to wake up from this dream)
Alright now, I have to stop typing because I think these seven point steps will clarify what the writer ones to say.
Sorry I am still working on those seven points. Therefore, Let me put my greed attribute here-
-Author of the self published book "Nature God" and "Human behavior on the Internet".

Suffering
Let us go first by what our renowned dictionary has to say,
1: to endure death, pain, or distress
2: to sustain loss or damage
3: to be subject to disability or handicap
etc.
My opinion on Suffering,
Suffering is another open question where this column and my thirty minutes of work on this comment or article will not be enough to all the hungry mind of PCBR (Paulo Coelho’s Blog Readers).
Anyways, Let me give a shot on “Suffering”.
Suffering inevitable, it exits and it will never fade away. As the humanity exits so is suffering. There is no remedy to it and there is no single right answer by anyone.
We are all because of Suffering, we exits because we suffer, we are living because we have to suffer. Every morning I wake up, I start my suffering and every night before I go to bed, I die. Will you belive this? Well, this is what I am.
It does not mean that, I am speaking the what Jesus spoke long time back. I am just saying that “We all are God”. We have Jesus and Mary inside us, within us. We are made up of bones, muscles and physical entiry with eternal lives of Jesus, Mary, Buddha, Allah and all.
Those people (I am sorry since I am saying them people), those were all God since they were normal human being like us. So we are too.
Christianity speaks about Jesus being the child of God, Mohammad being child of God speaks Khoran, Ram being child of God speaks Ramayan, Buddha being child of God speaks Buddhism and similar alike.
I say to all those around me, They were not a child of God but they were God and We are too. There is no child of God but only God. We all humans are God. Sufferings exits in all of us. We cannot avoid it. Sharing suffering can loosen your burden. (Well, Please disagree with me.)
Every new idea is a disagreement, Value of exisiting being is never given by us because we do not see the importance. (Why all the fuss, when Jesus was dead after being hung up for so many days in the nail pierced hands?) Why do not people realize the his value when he was alive ?
I have my own opinion which states that, “We all are God”. I agree on all the religion and respect all what they preach. You can always disagree with me on this.
Now, Let me go to the point again on Suffering-
There is nothing called “happiness, or love, or faith, or destiny or whatever…”, Everything is written well in advance when we are in Mother’s womb.
The process of writing starts from day one till nine months. These nine months are the process of writing your own scripts. The script of your life. You write it, nobody else. You do not know it, until and unless you become concisous or awake. The real awakening could take some years like 5-7 years.
When you are awake, I mean when you realize that you are alive. How? When you can see the things around you, start to remember your house, your mother, your father, your school and your religion then from that onwards your suffering starts.
Now, there is a gap between the time you are born to the time you are awake. This gap is about “adaptablity”. You are newly born and when you are newly born you want to adapt to the environment. The environment is not aboout Nature but about your home, family, religion and so on.
This is how it works. Or, atleast this is what I think.
Now, Since you have already written your script and hidden somehwere in back of your memory you do not know what you have written. It is secret script. You cannot read it all. This implies, you do not know what you have written.
Now, what your family, brother, sister, nature, country, religion will teach is observed by you. The observation will be stored in your “human brain”. The brain decides on your daily activities. The day to day work, daily hustle and bustle of your own personal lives are because of all the observation that you have done in your lives. You keep on repeating “those stuffs” which you have been influenced by or want to make some impression to.
This is how we live in Today’s world. Then suddenly, when we want to choose some career path, it does not work out. Or let us say, when you want to become Writer, you do not become writer but you end up being painter, or let us say, when you want something then that particular thing will not come in your life. (Why?)
Is this because of suffering? Yes, why not.
How?
Suffering is already written by you now, when you want to do something agaist your own script, that will not work out my dear friend.
Nobody is to blame, only you !
There is no heaven or hell. There is nothing after death. Nothing. Trust me on this. There is nothing after death because it will be same as before you were fully “awake”.
This is cyclic, We are born, we live and then we die then again after some gap, we are born again, we live and then we die. It is the cyclic process and it continues forever and ever.
Now, some of our brilliant mind will think-if we are born again then why don’t we remember anything from our past?
It is because when we write our script in Mother’s womb, we do the same when we are near the deathbed, Just before we are going to die- the before death period of “Nine Months”, we start to Erase everything that we wanted to do and did, being on this Earth.Our Consciousness, will fade away at that period.This is simple explanation.
Now, let me again look back to what Paulo’s question- Ok, I am sorry Christian question,
Is suffering important to get enlightenment ?
Well, for this I have already written one Newspaper Journal, you can find it here-
“Anyone can be a Gautam Buddha…”
http://mybheja.blogspot.com/2007/08/enlightenment.aspx
My Mother always used to say,
Sukh-ke-sub-saathi-dukh-me-na-koi. (Plenty of friends in happiness, none in Dukh or disquietude or suffering.)
I think this is the process of life, No one wants to share Suffering because you just have to suffer your own sufferings. Nobody will help you suffer your sufferings. You are the creator of your sufferings.You just have to solve your own sufferings. It is easy. You need some time and you will figure it out that, you have solved your sufferings.
By the meanwhile, you can enjoy some videos on this topic-

Saving the Planet
Humans and Nature are integral entity which is important to both. Why and how I will explain soon.
There is still lack of proper research on who was the “first human” and who created them. There are evidences from the “relgious texts” and many religious text depending upon the religion a person follows vary.
Well do not make your own conclusion at this very point. Wait a moment,
Now as asked by Paulo, How can we save the planet?
Many of us will agree that, we live on the planet called Earth. We need to save the elements present on this planet called Earth.
Think of this as following metaphor-
“Imagine a Vessel with full of water, Is Vessal or that jar or box which contains water is important or is water important?”
Who is the one who decides if water is important or Jar? We humans, think we are important. The “Water” but think if Jar or Vessal does not exits then, where would you then put “water”?
Think…
Think again …
OK, Now your Brain has given up, We can reach to this conclusion that, Both the Water and Vessal is important. Why? Because without the Vessal there is no water and without Water the importance of value of Jar or Vessal is “0″ or Null or void.
Let us suppose, I am the Creator of the Vessal and the Water. If I am the Creator then I will think both are important to me. I will keep water as well as vessal or jar.
But as the “water” is getting dirty, because of other elements such as pollution or something then what will I do then?
I will try to clean the water and put the next water in the Vessal. This is what I will do.
Because, I have to give the vessal of water to my friends and they are thirsty, they want to drink a pure water.
The same process is what is going on in Today’s world. We are making the water impure, we are in the crisis (Economy, War, Terrorism, Rape, Murder, Suicide, Bombings, Killings, Religion, Politics, Land and Poverty) to name few.
Please do not agree with me, Please.
But since I am the creator atleast I can assume. If at this very moment, I will say that, “I am the messenger of the God”. Every body will laugh at me and say, “You are the idiot and stupid.”
What if, from the bottom of my heart ask me to write- “I am God”.
It does not mean, I can perform miracles as we all expect God to do but that part of my body which says that I am God is invisible.
I think not only me, all of us are God.
We do not have to pray our religious text and religious books to find the God, Please disagree with me and stop reading. But, I will not stop to say that, “We all are God”.
Or, To make things little easier,
Assume We all are God and now our moral, social, religious, enviromental and whatever responsibilites are-
“To protect water and the jar” which means to protect us and mother earth or planet as said by Paulo.
How?
1. Be truthful.
It does not mean, you should be truthful to your partner or in your job. Be truthful to yourself. Listen to your “inner voice” which will guide you to the other side. No body should teach you to be truthful but yourself. Be honest and truthful. Becuase once you start being truthful, all of objects around you will be attracted towards you. Believe me. You will be in different world all together.
2. Smile
To whom?, Smile at yourself. Many of us do not like our own body, our own physical look and we hate ourselves, how can you love others if you do not know to love yourself? To love yourself, you have to smile at yourself too. Not only when you are feeling good but also when you are feeling sad, nostalgic and depressed. Can you do it? Well, this is one God saying to another God. And we all are God so believe me you will understand what smile means.
Now you know how to be truthful, and to smile at yourself. What will happen when all the objects around you trust you, because you just decided that you are truthful to yourself. They will start to smile at you too. Which means, object around you are smiling at you. You cannot see them, you will not feel them but you will get power to attract them very easily. Let us now jump to number 3.
3. Help
Happiness comes with help, goes with pleasure of being helped. Save a penny, save not for yourself but take out that penny and give it to the person who is singing near railway station, who is begging by performing some art, who is begging to you and asking for help. Look into the eyes of those who need them, give it to them. Giving is what we writers do, giving is what Gods do and still do not forget the main theme-”We are all God”. Do not think, please that you cannot give, think how should you give.
Writers give opinion, ideas, books, Philoshoper gives philosphy, Musician gives music, Poet gives poem, Medical Doctor give health checkup, Nature gives care, protection, environment, different climate and seasons. Everything around us, either Nature of humans we are givers and takers.
Therefore, Now we have learned three basic things which can save our plant.
-Being truthful, Smiling and Helping.
Now some of you will ask how can being truthful, smiling and helping will help the entire planet?
(Scientific explantion)
It is simple, as our metaphor of “water and vessal”, water is composed of molecules which are atoms and these atoms are single in the entity. Which could be interpreted with one single human living on this planet. When water becomes dirty of impure then it implies it is not entire community of atoms which are dirty but some of the atoms which are influenced by neighbouring atoms.
Solution: Just try to remove those atoms or give the advice to “change themselves”.
(Other perspectives)
Now, As explained in Scientific way- A general ways is that, WE are the collection of people or individuals living on this planet. Some are good and some are bad, many are changing ourselves and when majority of things increase, evolution of “something different” starts or begins.
Till now, if you have not understood what I wanted to say then contact me personally or write me email.
Remember, you are the creators and it is your responsibility to save the “water with vessal or vessal with water”
Good day!

Where do you find inspiration?
2. Learning is every day phenomenon from ourselves and from others around us.
3. Nature and Environment teaches us and bring even closer to it, every day and in every moments.
4. Einstein said that all of his great inventions were because he stayed to be child. Being in the state of the child bring curiosity and passion for work.
5. As you said Paulo coelho, "I am my books and they are part of my soul." Most of the writer should feel in the same way, here is one question you would like to add if you have not already posted. What do you associate with books?
6. A single moment of joy and complete peace, satisfaction in that moment and words of wisdom gained and shared are what most of the writer would like themselves to associate with.
7. I do not know if God exits but I know, if he exits then he must live inside us, inside our body,being invisible but controlling our body and driving us forward, to take very next step in our life. I am the bilogical body and my books are representation of that very next step which God wants me to take.

"It is not explanations that carry us forward, but our will to go on."
"It is not explanations that carry us forward, but our will to go on."
--Paulo Coelho (Brida)
Will power is the biggest motivating factor. It will give us the direction and could also show us the path to move on in life.
There are two types of forces which works in human life. One which will pull back and another will pull front. The power of pulling us forward shows that we are controlled by supreme being or God as we describe in our religious scripts
Another will power which always goes on saying Negative in life is the power or will of pulling us back.
Many of the decisions in our life are based on the decisions. The power of making decisions could determine where we are going and where we would go in our life.
The explanation does nothing, it is just "justification". It could rather help us to reach to Point A or Point B but where to move forward from either of the Points determines by our will and our faith on the will power. (Either Positive or Negative, or 0 and 1 or the concept of dualism)
Whatever be the cirmumstanes just make your decisions thinking not on the explanation or judgement or justification but with the power of positive will power or driver in you.
Good luck !

What is on Women's mind?
-A picture of Naked Women.
What is on Women's mind?
-
Nobody knows what is on the Women's mind till date. Sigmund Fred, one of the greatest psychologist failed to answer this question that what is on women's mind. Well, if you ask any men they will tell you they are most of the times thinking about sex.
Here is one experiment you can do-
Ask a Man to live in a room alone for 3 hours. The room should have Internet connection, Laptop and then other stuffs. What would he be doing- He will have some point of the time where he will think about the sex.
If he does not then he is not a man.
Well this is not general and this experiment is scientifically correct. But I think this would work.
Watching at the picture- There could be two things that comes in the my mind.
1. A guy is hitting at her a$#
2. A girl is working on the clothes and that statue was on the way.
Now-When you think more deep the Number 1 is more fascinating and interesting. They way you want to interpret is all on your own.
"Every religion, every scriptures and every art made by the artist, messengers give one common meaning", The way we interpret only varies from human to human.

A happiest person alive in heaven
Let us assume that the story that I wrote yesterday (Today Thursday at 17 hours-) is Fiction. Then at least my readers and friends could and will relax a bit.
Thank you Paul for letting me know that, "Don’t try to be all things to all… women… it’s impossible, and… it’s not our responsibility… this one belongs to a higher intelligence… and the universe holds the answer…"
Thank you Jessica for your heart touching article. I think I know the answer and I will try to put words to your question. ("how I can sort my feelings out").
****************************************************************
Women is the source of every energy in the Universe. They are not impossible but our intelligence does not let us understand the possibilities in them. We are limited by our knowledge to understand the vast range of possibilities a women has and carries every day.
There are no right answers or wrong answers but all of the answers are just answers. Some of those answers satisfy us and some of them are just words.
Life is a lesson which should be learned in every moment and in every path we take. There are lessons that we learn from our family, from our friends, from our school and others. But a lesson women teaches us in our lives are far more important than anything else. A women if wants can create the universe and destroy the universe. She has the potential which I feel very little to describe.
In marriage- she is the one who should decide weather to stay with the person or leave the person.
In life- she is the one she should decide how to care her children and husband.
In love- she shows how she can care more than her life about her partner and she is ready to accept him at any given time.
In Career- She is the blessed to give the direction and motivate her partner.
So and so forth. There are many ways a women is vital human without whom a existence seems impossible. Well- W O M E N .The five letter words have great meaning. The last three letters means us- MEN. But has any body ever wondered why there are two additional letters in front of the MEN.
English language experts might tell us why? If I have to make a guess then I would say- W and O these two characters could represent many things and many words.
Love is not the destiny.Love is just love. Tomorrow if I have to leave the person whom I love then I will have many reasons in front of me and these "reasons" will force me to take the decisions against me. These reasons will ask me to take the decisons which I do not like but again, I have to make the decision.
A human nature is very childish. When we get something in life we are happy and we do not get that particular thing or person in our lives we are bound to be sad. We regret and we feel the guilt we are thinking thousand times what did I do wrong? What is my fault? Why did she left me? Did my words does not come out right?
A person is wise when he understands that not everything can be gained easily. For example love- A love is a fresh feeling which is momentary just like a smile.
See for example the differences in culture, race and religion but smile has a common form and presentation. WE all smile and when we all smile it is same despite any culture, race and religion.
Feelings cannot be easily suppressed. When Miss B saw Mr. A for the first time they fell in love. They wanted to be together but Miss B was raped and tortured. Miss B felt that she is not eligible and good enough for Mr. A she decided to go away from Mr. A and live her own life. While she decided she will go away, she thought the distance would shorten and lessen her pain from what she had encountered. She knew that she cannot now give fresh love to Mr. A. She wants to quit her life but some how she lives and marries with other person. She has couple of kids. She has a family. She has children but she lost her love.
She wants to know about his life, what is he doing or where is he? How would he feel when I feel something? She has questions which concerns her life and mostly about "his" life. She wants to know about him.
Because once she went far away from him. Now even though she has family she thinks most of the time about him.
Mr. A came back in her life when her sister somehow stayed with him. Mr. A is alone and he does not yet have any girls. Mr.A still has the feelings for Miss B but Miss B is married and settled.
How could Miss B happy? Is her happiness means watching others around and feeling the same? Will she ever forgive her about the decisions she took on his own while departing from Mr. A?
What if she would have told the story just after she was tortured to Mr. A? Would Mr. A accept her then? What would have happened ?
Many of the times women are very negative in the decisions they make. It is because they are thinking always good for US (MEN). They do not want to hurt our feelings or even go away from our lives without any valid reasons.
However there are people and women who take such decision.
1)Some women might think that, Mr. A's are not good and they cannot make her happy through entire live.
2)Some women might think that, Mr. A's are too good and easy, let us try those who are little difficult and non predictive.
3)Some women just cannot be with Mr. A simply because they are now tortured or raped and they think they are impure. They cannot give pure love to Mr. A's.
4)Some women just wanna have fun.
5)Some are going through difficult situation because they have sufficient valid reasons in front of them to leave Mr. A's.
Now Among these five mentioned points depending upon the women and there inner self they choose it. These points can vary depending upon the time, circumstance and many other factors.
Therefore, The decision is about how to live a life with happiness after not getting the love of your life?
What would you do? Should you leave every day with compromise or should we try to find other women or men in your lives. What is your mental state of mind currently saying? Would you take the initiative and be brave with yourself and fight with every single period in your lives thinking about the person who would have been perfect partner?
There are few steps if you want happiness-
http://www.kalwar.com.np/2008/12/7-things-to-do-to-be-happy.html
(I would suggest to think about these because I have been testing these steps with people and I still do not know if they are really going to be the final seven steps in future. A valid theory for every one of us. Just try to ponder on them too. )
Now if you want to get love that is Mr. A back in your life--
Again, there are reasons in front of you. These reasons will not let you decide against you. If you go against your reasons then it could result into problems. Such as (Your family members might say you something bad, your culture resists you, etc)
Now at this moment- Think if you are Miss B what you want? I know you cannot resist the feeling because your sister is close to Mr. A. If you are really a sister then wouldn't you want your Mr. A to come home -- May be he is interested in your sister and he might even want to get married ?
But again, His decisions are important. After hearing all these happenings if your partner understands how you are feeling then he might just let you go.
However, it all depends on the way you want to live.
*****************************************************************
Well, I am not alive. I am not human and my life is the life of an angel. I can see the pain and sorrow. I can feel what Miss Y feels about love for her life. I am a air which can just be felt. Nothing else.
I want to touch her. I want to sweep her tears from her eyes when she is feeling the pain. But I know even if she could see me, she will not feel the touch of human in me.(Because I am a angel)
I wish I could come down to earth and live for a day. I wish I could come down to be with her for a day. I wish I would touch her and kiss her. I wish, the feeling of her first touch and the first kiss. I want to experience only once. Can I?
I do not know what is happiness but I wish if I am on earth with that loving memory of her first kiss and first touch I will spend my rest of life.
I wish in finding pleasure to those feelings are called happiness then that is what I am.
At this moment and on this day -
A happiest person alive in heaven.

"Anything a man does can bring him closer to the Supreme Wisdom, as long as he works with Love in his heart."
A person with loving heart has desires but at the same time destiny. Even though he might not be close to his destiny he will look at his destiny with the shadow of becoming true one day.
Optimism is the reflection of what he could accomplish in his life. Without the difficulties and problems. A person full of love only knows how to give.
Oscar wild once said, "A man kills what he loves". Is it true? Yes, might be to some extent. But what if a man lives with what he loves? Will he achieve his dreams and conquer the world.? May be he will.
Love has no beginning and no end. Love is just love in any form and in any time, circumstance or situation. Love is selfless. If you can love yourself, your body your own self then you are full of giving. A person who is full of giving is full of love.
Being wise is not only the result of love but also the result of watching through the lens of your heart to those who have suffered. Getting the lessons from not only your problems but also from those of whom you could have answered. Being wise, or being lazy is the same.
A wise has intellect and power of healing. A single word spoken or written has wide range of impact in many forms and factor.

"True love allows each person to follow his or her own path, aware that doing so can never drive them apart."
Love is mysterious feelings of an individual. It has no beginning and no end. Finding a path or landing upon a right path depends on the beauty a person sees or the potential the person sees in himself/herself.
Eternal beauty is priceless and the love is priceless too. There is constant struggle to achieve it in human lives but it will never be occupied or be achieved. The freshness of the early morning beauty cannot be achieved. It shows how every day is fresh and beautiful.
Sex, lust are not love and will not be the entry point of the love. These are physiological needs just like eating or drinking.
A person in love does not want anything and a person in love does not want to hesitate to give anything. This is eternal unconditional being.
A being which cannot be measured but can be shared with any object around.
Love could result into right path or even a wrong path. The discovery of the person to find his/her path depends solely on the person itself and his love.
See the beauty on the small child face who smiles more than Adults. See the early morning sun rise, see the love of mother when she is feeding her child from her breast. See it and feel how beautiful those moments are. These are all results of unconditional love.
A love of women by a men is different. This love has a feeling, this love has desires and lust or sex involved. Love could be without sex but the relationship then will break apart. or even will lead to breakage to some extent.
In past we have learned a love of Romeo and Juliet, and likes of other great lovers. But love today what we are showing and doing is different in many cases that I have seen. Every love that we perceive does not end up in the right land or path. Those who think that love could result into the right path it is because, the person has understood the beauty of love better than anything else.
Human desires never end, it has no beginning and no end. Love to me by special some one might be different then the love to others by their special some one. Love is never a finding since we all are searching for love. The true destination of love would be found when one day we will wake up and cherish the moments spend together with this special some one, because she might just be beside you. Sleeping like a child-close and together like never before. Her face as fresh of early morning rose will enlighten your spirit in pleasure and show you the day to work hard or ever harder.
Good day !
