What is your dream for the world?

A Kinder world - Art by Riya Pasrija

Diversity- A beautiful poem and fingerprint artwork by my 9 year old!:))

I always wonder when I gaze up at the stars in the night no stars, planets, or even nebulas look alike
They all are different and unique
just like you and me
The planets in the solar system
are unique in color and size
Some are blue, some are orange, and some are white
The universe is full of diversity
7 billion people live on the planet Earth with unique lives, stories, and touch ids
Isn’t it amazing no two fingerprints match
No two people have the same hands, thoughts, and stories
That makes me wonder - 7 billion stories!
I wonder how many plants, birds, insects, and animals exist They all are so unique and part of this big universe family
Sometimes I wonder what if everything was just the same color This entire world would be so colorless
even with so much color
Diversity doesn’t make us all different, It makes us all unique
Unique just like each star in the sky, each grain of sand, crystal, and snowflake we are all part of one rich universe family
Sometimes I wonder why we don’t wonder more How the universe is so unique
made from you and me
We can enjoy so much in this universe, There is so much to learn and explore
So where is the time to decide who is right? 
We are all part of one big unique universe family We are all as unique as we can be!

"Each person’s life is like a mandala – a vast, limitless circle. We stand in the center of our own circle, and everything we see, hear and think forms the mandala of our life."
~ Pema Chodron

Happiness is when your kids want to share the joy of Mother's Day spreading smiles:))

A beautiful new addition to my collection - The wisdom of no escape!!

At the end of each day, someone were to play a video of you back to yourself and you could see it all, you would wince quite often and say "Ugh!"
You probably would see that you do all those things for which you criticize all those people you don't like in your life, all those people you judge. Basically, making friends with yourself is making friends with all those people too, because when you come to have this kind of honesty, gentleness and goodheartedness, combined with clarity about yourself, there's no obstacle to feeling loving-kindness for others as well.
So the Ground of Maitri is ourselves!

* Maitri towards ourselves doesn't mean getting rid of anything, change ourselves or become something better.  It's about befriending who we are already. It is accepting ourselves just as we are right now without any judgements.

What Enhances Your Beauty?

 

When your mind is not complaining, responsible, courageous, confident and hollow and empty, you are inexplicably beautiful. A person who cannot correct or act has no right to complain. And when a person can correct or act, he will never complain. Complaining is a sign of weakness. Complaining is the nature of utter ignorance where one does not know the Self. Complaint takes away the beauty that is inborn in you. And it shows up more on the one who is on this path. Worldly mind is a complaining mind; Divine mind is a dancing mind. Just complaining without indicating the solution is irresponsibility. When the solutions are not workable, finding alternative solutions is courage. For external beauty, you put on things; for real beauty, you have to drop all the things. For external beauty you have to have make-up; for your real Beauty you only have to realise that you are MADE-UP!

Mind is the creator of everything. You should therefore guide it to create only good. If you cling to a certain thought with dynamic will power, it finally assumes a tangible outward form. When you are able to employ your will always for constructive purposes, you become the controller of your destiny.
