" LIFE STORM " --- a question

Are coincidences in our life are a part of our destiny and if everything is written as we say ‘maktub’, then what is the point in following our dreams?  

There was an old man who had a dream one night that he would be protected from a ravaging storm that would engulf his whole village.

The next day, as expected, a terrible storm came to his region. The first day a neighbor of his offered help for him to flee – help that he denied since he was sure God was going to help him.

The second day, when he had to take refuge in the second floor of his house given that the waters had taken over all of the first floor, a rescue team came to his house and offered him to get out of there – help that he again refused given that God had promised him to get out of there.

The third day came a helicopter to rescue him but he was adamant that God was going to save him.

Not long after he drowned and died. Once in heaven he complained to God: “why didn’t you help me as you promised?”

To which God replied: ” I sent your neighbor, a rescue squad and even a helicopter to which you simply declined!”

You see Saakshi: things are written, but you need to be attentive to the signs that constantly try to remind you that life wishes you to be “saved”. And salvation is the path that leads you to your dream, your fulfillment in this life.

PARENTS AND CHILDREN ----- Khalil Gibran --- Paulo Coelho

Khalil Gibran has an excellent text about parents and children:

Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.

You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them,
but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.

You are the bows from which your children
as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,
and He bends you with His might
that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let our bending in the archer’s hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies,
so He loves also the bow that is stable.

शायरी / Shayari

एक जरा हाथ बड़ा दे तो पकड़ ले दमन, 
उसके सिने में समा जाए हमारी धड़कन, 
इतनी कुर्बत है तो फासला इतना क्यों है? 
कोई ये कैसे बताए के वो तन्हा क्यों है? 

 इतदाये  इश्क  है  रोता  है  क्या 

आगे  आगे  देखिये  होता  है  क्या 

मकतबे  इश्क  का  दस्तूर  निराला   देखा 
उस  को  छुटी   ना   मिली  जिस  को  सबक  याद  हुआ 

ऐ   जोक   गर   है   होश   तो   दुनिया   से   दूर    भाग

इस   मक्तबे  काम   नहीं   होशियार   का

( One who is enlightened )




हम जैसों की नाकामी पर क्यों हैरत है दुनिया को
हर मौसम में जीने के आदाब कहाँ रखते हैं

BASAL ASTROLOGIA
