Getting help from a total stranger, meeting an old friend out of the blue, death of a beloved, a big rejection or loss or a big victory out of the jaws of defeat, somethings just happen for a reason... a very specific reason...

Try
tying to do this
trying to do that
trying to be good
trying to quit bad habits
one day a wise guy came to me
He said some thing that didnt make sense to me
He said "When you are trying something, you are not doing it"
and then he said
"When you are doing something, you are definately not trying it"
i was confused
He gave me a example of people who always want to quit smoking
and say, I am trying to QUIT
They are just trying, they are not doing it
................i was little more confused now
all my life, i have been trying so many things
and here this guy comes in and tells me dont try, just do it
didnt make any sense to me
I beleive he read my mid
He said
Rizwan, do yourself a favour
What, i asked
He said, Try to breathe for one minute
What does that mean, i asked
He said, just do it for one minute, as i say
Dont breathe, just TRY TO BREATHE
STOP BREATHING RIGHT NOW
and i did
NOW JUST TRY TO BREATHE, REMEMBER YOU DONT HAVE TO BREATHE, JUST TRY TO DO IT
What, i said
how on earth do i try to breathe
i started breathing after around 40 seconds as i could not hold any more
NO NO NO NO
DONT BREATHE, YOU JUST HAVE TO TRY IT
and at that moment he made all the sense in the world
there is no such thing as trying
you just do it
plants dont try to grow, they just do it
earth doesnt try to spin and revolve around sun, it just does it
we dont try to breathe, see or touch
we just do it
so simple yet so powerful
its a metaphor to live with
Dont try, JUST DO IT!

Light
GOD loves you for what you are (BE)
and not what for what you do,
since you are a human BEING and not a human DOING.
I know there is a light in you,
that has always been there and that glows your personality and your soul
and one day it will glow the whole world.
At this moment you may or may not realize its presence
but that light is present inside of you, it has ever been, and it will always be,
your simple denial to this fact will never change this fact,
just like your denial of the presence of a soul could never harm the soul and make it leave,
similarly, your denials of presence of that eternal light in you,
will not take that light away from you,
just you it may lengthen the time before you realize its true presence and potential
Love
You are a symbol of love;
there is so much love inside you,
in fact you are made of love,
your may choose to act otherwise,
but deep down inside its all love that resonates all your feelings, thoughts and actions,
you may however choose to bestow your love to few individuals closely related to you
but this love is not for you to keep or grant selectively,
Divine has granted you love so that it can use you as an instrument of love for the whole world
and every thing and every one in it
as it has chosen the sun, and the moon, and water, and sky, and air
they all just give, they dont see who gets
they are not worried that they will be empty if they give it all
since they know their source is unlimited
so is yours
love unconditionally and without selection...

What if ...
what if all dreams were meant to come true
what if all the power to make your dreams come true were right there at your footsteps
what if these dreams were designed specially for you
what if the whole universe was waiting to help you out in making your dream come true
what if you knew a small step of yours would be a giant leap for your life
what if you were sure you could not fail
what if all the music was yours, if you would just tune in
what if you had powers to change the realities, yours and every one else's
what if your inner most thoughts were the guidance from the divine
what if you knew you were the best
what if you could have every thing you ever dreamed of
what if all your problems and worries could vanish just with a smile of yours
what if you had a choice to surround your self with peace & love
what if all this universe was made just for you
what if all of the above is true
what if ...

music
You have the magic built in you,
but in the physical dimension of the world,
you fail to experience it,
Its just like the music that is present there in you,
you just fail to tune into it
and after a while you don't even know that it exists,
though it is there,
all you have to do is to get to the right frequency
and music will flow out seamlessly,
without any effort,
all you need to do is to tune into that infinite realm of being.
Tap into the unlimited potential
believe that you are free to choose your own path
and in turn creating your own very future,
the way you like it
