How do i learn to love and trust?

Following question was asked by reader, Michelle at Paulo's blog, Here is what Mybheja has to say in response.

Q)I love the idea of love and would love to experience it,however i don’t open up to people, that is the reason i don’t have a single close friend. But don’t know how i will be able to love without opening up and trusting.How do i learn to love and trust?

A)You said, you are not open but why not? By putting “not” and “no” in every response, you are being fearful to your own self. Don’t be. Mistakes we all do and there is no point on being fearful about anything at all.

Once there was a small child named, Stefan. He was just five years old. He was learning about fire, wind, sky and stars. He once asked his mother, “Mom, what will happen if I will touch that fire?” she said, “No, don’t touch it. It will burn your fingers…” Stefan got the lesson from his mother. But, He wanted to experience himself. He did not trusted his own mother. One day, where there was no one in Stefan’s house, He went near the fire and tried to touch it. Just after he touched the fire, he took it out his hand away from the fire, immediately. Next time, he became fearful and started to trust what his mother has told.

Moral of the story: Take it away ! (Interpret on your own life, yourself…)

Trust starts with truth and ends with truth. There is no perfect human beings and even those who we pray such as Allah, Jesus, Krishna among others were not perfect. Nobody was perfect and nobody will be. Only thing that remains is, keep on doing mistakes. More mistakes more lesson in life. Those lessons will be useful for you to teach when you, yourself will become grandmothers and wife.

-”Trust yourself, you will start to trust others.”

-”Speak truth and believe in the power of truth, the more you will believe in yourself, the more you will see the beauty of nature and mother earth.”

-”We humans do thousand and one thing to impress others and show to the world that we are smart and wise but we tend to forget one very simple thing, there is small child in each one of us which is hungry for our own trust and inspirations.”

-”Have you ever seen the stars in the night? See them closely, they will tell you, how to be open, how to love and how to shine and twinkle without any differences and jealousy of other stars.”

-”Open up and wake up with blazing beauty just remember no one is perfect and you are the most beautiful creature on this planet.”

God blesses you !

Questions and Answers

Dear all,

Q) What is love?

A) Love is you, love is nothing but the reflection or shadow of your own. Love is not this or that but love lies in simplicity, beauty, truth and trust. Those who want to find out what love is should know how to love yourself, and learn to give without any guilt or grief, or pain or without any motivation.

Love is mother, love is father and love is in finding and remembering the day your conscience was awakened. e.g. when you were small very small and try remembering the first day when you went school or when you were in your home or when your mother said something or …

Love is knowing your day of awakening till date, love is your eyes and in each and every part of your body. Love is with you all the time and love will last ever.

Of course we see physical love such as mother love, father love, husband love, lover’s love but those are just one percent of love out of hundred percent. love is beyond all those physical society’s love. those are love but not pure form of love.

We live in society where when we say, “I love you” the other person will start to think, she/he really loves me and start the relationship or our proposal starts with such statement but how do you validate such statement.? (I can see some eyebrows raises here..)

Anyways, I must stop here but will answer if you want to know more about love.

God bless you all !

Reolution 2009: My First Novel

Dear all,

As per my resolution this year, I am about to complete my first novel. The novel is about the romantic love story, fiction. The book is semi-autobiography of my own life. Now, the difficult part comes to write query letter and send it to editors and publishers. I will try to do that from now onwards. I hope some publishing company would accept it later by the end of this year. Well, I am quite skeptical about it. (This is most difficult phase trying to convince editors and well-known publishers that your manuscript is good enough for them to make money.)

Anyways, the manuscript that I have written is about hundred pages, single spaced written in word format. It is almost complete but as many writers would agree, the most important part of any book is the ending. I have to come up with ending for the story of my book something which should be heart touching for that soon. I know, I will finish it soon.

I hope that this fiction novel will be the first book published by traditional publisher. There are aleady four books self published by me, Nature God(2008), Human behavior on the Internet (2009), A Very First book of Poems: Heartbreak (2009) and …109 Quotes, 07 Poems and a song of despair(2009)… If you would be interested to read them you can easily buy them from Amazon.com or Lulu.com. Here are the links-

1. Nature God (2008)
http://www.amazon.com/Nature-God-Santosh-Kalwar/dp/1435760913
2. Human behavior on the Internet (2009)

3. A Very First book of Poems: Heartbreak (2009)

4…109 Quotes, 07 Poems and a song of despair(2009)…
http://www.lulu.com/content/6430704

I do not want to self publish this book yet and I will try to send it to traditional publisher as far as I can. Let us hope for the best and Let us see !

Thank you all

and

God bless you !

Quotes of the day

Dear all,

-Love is wisdom, love is in giving, love is god, and god is love but there is no wise or fools for love. Love is equal for each one of us.

-Those who think of love are not thinking anything on love and those who tries to understand love are not understanding it at all.

-I am dead man alive in love.

-Love can bring wisdom, love can change lives, love can create, love can destroy, all we need is love and love is all we need.

-Love is the battlefield, those who want true love has to fight for it. Beyond differences created by humans such as caste, creed, country, religion, race and culture.

Question and Answer

Dear all,

Q)How does someone know that you are doing what you are meant to be doing in this life?

A)This is very good question, Clelia ! If you would know what you meant to be doing then don't you think your life would be boring to live? What if you know about your tomorrow's schedule today? What if you know that tomorrow you are going to meet your husband or wife or your life partner near the garden in the rain and you don't have umbrella. The guy whom you met will have umbrella and he will cover you with his umbrella. What would you do then? Will it be exciting enough, if you know it. (I think it will not be)

Therefore, it is good that you don't know them ahead. All your events and all that is going to happen in your life is unknown and it should always be unknown. Now having said that, you want to know whatever you are doing is right or wrong, isn't it?

By asking this question you already are on right track. Don't be afraid, whatever you are doing is always right and whatever you want to do will be too. It is you who have decided to choose the path and it should be you who knows yourself better than anybody else. Therefore, when you can wake up each and every morning, then you can walk each and every step, even though you are skeptical and fearful of taking or making them. Just move on and don't regret your past or your decisions, don't blame anyone and be truthful. Life will find its way, on its own.

There is also religious description which I can give which is quite different than any of the scriptures ever written but I must stop here.

Please let me know if you need further explanations and if you feel any thing confusing.

God bless you all !

Oh Sweet human being,
Hello, said thou Stranger
Should thou speak? or
Should I wait him/her to speak?

I was born Stranger
I will die Stranger
Unknown is my name
Unknown is my country

Oh Sweet Stranger,
Why do you say so?
All thine life,
I am fed up with
Introduction, thee the Stranger!

All thine life
Been stranger to myself
Stranger I am, &
Stranger you are

Along the life
in the journey
We will share,
We will speak
We may become friends or foe
When our time is on limit

I am Stranger
Stranger to live
Unknown is my country
Unknown is me

Every words I make
You judge it,
I am stranger

You don’t know to trust yourself
how could you trust me?
I am just Stranger, dear!
In all the journey we take
I will still remain, as Stranger

Life is journey
We meet, We share
We care, We talk
After all this
Still we remain
Stranger, Stranger as Messenger

Oh dear beautiful Stranger
Why do you look upset?
I am upset with my behavior
Stranger they call me
Whenever I go, Whatever I do
Whoever I meet, Whatever they do

I am unheard, I am speechless
My mind is judged,
My virtues are observed
My institutions are useless
All those which belong to thine
Are like mirror reflection
Stranger thou met

When would they understand me?
I am Stranger as they are too
Better as we could grow, together
Love will shine, knowledge will brine
Wisdom will shout ! Holy Shit !

I am Stranger
Stranger to live
Unknown is my country
Unknown is me

Words are stranger,

Strange life, strange peoples

Creed, sex, animals, home
Country, culture and all, stupid strangers

Alas, Strange and Strange
Holy Holy, Oh dear Holy
Everything is Strange
Strange thine life
Strange thee

Holy Stranger’s life
Good to be unknown
Better to be known
Worst to be well known

Stranger I am
Stranger they call me
Stupids, how could they know
I live in them
Trust, Faith, Happiness
lives in thee

Stranger I am
Stranger they call me

Excerpts from Iran president’s speech at the U.N.

Introduction
English translation of excerpts from Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s speech at the U.N. racism conference:


“Following World War II, they resorted to military aggression to make an entire nation homeless under the pretext of Jewish suffering. They sent migrants from Europe, the United States and other parts of the world in order to establish a totally racist government in the occupied Palestine. In fact, in compensation for the dire consequences of racism in Europe, they helped bring to power the most cruel and repressive racist regime in Palestine.”


“It is all the more regrettable that a number of Western governments and the United States have committed themselves to defend those racist perpetrators of genocide, while the awakened, conscious and free-minded people of the world condemn aggression, brutalities and bombardments of civilians of Gaza.”


“Ladies and gentlemen: What are the root causes of U.S. attacks against Iraq, or invasion of Afghanistan? Was the motive behind the invasion of Iraq anything other than the arrogance of the then-U.S. administration and the mounting pressures ... to expand their sphere of influence, seeking the interest of giant arms manufacturing companies, affecting another culture with thousands of years of historical background, eliminating potential and practical threats of Muslim countries against the Zionist regime? Or, to control and plunder energy resources of the Iraqi people. Why indeed were almost a million people killed and injured, and a few more millions were displaced and became homeless? Why indeed have the Iraqi people suffered enormous losses amounting to hundreds of billions of dollars? ... Wasn’t the military action against Iraq planned by the Zionists and their allies in the then-U.S. administration, in complicity with the arms manufacturing companies, and the owner of the world?”


“The United States and its allies not only have failed to contain the production of drugs in Afghanistan, but also the illicit cultivation of narcotics multiplied in the course of their presence. The basic question is what was the responsibility of the then-U.S. administration and its allies? Did they represent countries of the world? Have they been mandated by them? Have they been authorized on behalf of the people of the world to interfere in all parts of the globe, and of course mostly in our region? Aren’t these measures a clear example of egocentrism, racism, discrimination, or infringement on the dignity and independence of nations?”


Ladies and gentlemen: Who is responsible for the current global economic crisis? Where did the crisis start from? From Africa? From Asia? Or was it first from the United States?”


“Dear friends, today, the human community is facing a kind of racism that has tarnished the image of humanity. In the beginning of the third millennium, the world Zionism personifies racism that falsely resorts to religion, and abuses religious sentiment to hide their hatred and ugly faces. However, it is of great importance to bring into focus the political goals of some of the world’s powers and those who control huge economic resources and interests in the world, and mobilize all their resources, economic and political influence, and world media to render support in vain to the Zionist regime, and maliciously to diminish to indignity and disgrace this regime.”

Quotes of the day

-”Human beings should not judge other lives but they can read others mind to help their pain and sufferings.”

-”Those who judge others should know how to judge themselves.”

-”We cannot decide who is on right path and who is not because our own life is series of unexpected events passing through time, situation and circumstances.”

-”Life is from zero to one, sorrow to pain and love to happiness, passing all along with smile on face despite grief and unhappiness, deep below lies the quenching heart, which is flowing with energy and bloody rain.”

I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) Lyrics


When I wake up yeah I know I'm gonna be

When I go out yeah I know I'm gonna be

If I get drunk yes I know I'm gonna be

And when the money comes in for the work I'll do
I'll pass almost every penny on to you

And if I grow old well I know I'm gonna be

But I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walked 1000 miles
To fall down at your door

Forgetting and Forgiving

**************************************
“Forgetting and Forgiving”
**************************************
I forgot, you forgot, we all forgot
She forgot, what a tragedy
Missed the train, daddy is in pain
Got the call, Dear daddy is dead

Who will forgive me?
‘I am feeling shame’, said she
Was it my fault or was it unexpected?
I am feeling pain,
My sweet daddy loved me,

Oh dear god, help me to forget
please forgive my sin
I missed my train
everybody hates me,

I would be in pain, everyday
I want to feel the rain

Forgetting and forgiving insane
I will regret and cry till
My own life someone will forget
I will forgive him, I know the pain

Last chance to saw my sweet daddy
went in vain, unfortunate pain

My heart bleeds in the grief
Fire in my chest for my daddy’s love
Got consumed with so much grief and pain

Please forgive me, humans
Please let me forget that incident

I will never remember anything
I know how to forget and forgive
Life has turned into miracle,now
I know, when I am dead
Nobody would remember me,
they all will forget

I am an immortal soul
I will forgive them, all
Shapeshifting in wind of change

Poem Insane

***************************************************
Poem insane
***************************************************
When I write, I bring joy in my readers face
In my face, peace and complete happiness
But hardly I give any such reflection
During those times, I am in pain
A Sick person who is insane, mad and dead

Every single letter forms, an word
Every word, combines other words, to become sentence
and every sentence, should have meaning
Life is all about understanding such meanings
Sometimes we laugh, sometimes we cry

Writers job is to show the golden light
In rain, In pain,
When I am alone, its my computer and my pen

I am sorry this became, a poem
I beg you, please do not think as blame
Trust me as you trust god
I am your friend, in pain
This insane writing, which turned into poem

Stop it, Oh dear please stop it
Said,”tiny little brain”

Fingers are moving like
Wind in rain

Sweet poem and blesses sweet readers
Oh dear funny writer, said one beautiful lady
I am greatful for your honors
Should I bend my knees and say,’Thank you’
or Should I just send you
my, ‘Warm Wishes and Happiness’
