Best Things in life are free !!!

Its all about the money.. its all about the dum dum dida dum dum..Its all about the money.. and I guess we got it all wrong all the way, we show do strange things of showing how much we care, when we dont seem to care all Its all about the money !!- Song by Mandy Moore !!


Question is Where is all the love.. where is my conscience !!

Witnessing from the Misfortunes of my own and others, I realised that money can never sober you.The desire to earn more, makes one blindfolded.Recently felt that protecting money is the only obession left in today's world.. the "MONEY" has so much control over our lives that we tend to forget ---Money is meant to be used for oneself & for others , not be buried in the back yard... its something which you cannot take to your grave.

I was once asked-- would i spend my time with the children in the orphange i.e: spend time give them a feeling that someone is still willing to take care of them.. wants them..Contrary to that my answer was I would donate money to the orphange.. just like anybody i considered money to be the most important possession of life. As they say money can never buy love care and happineess..very true !!

i think about those children and people who are living their life in loneliness & despair who know at every moment of their life they need to witness all by themselves. The very feeling that atleast someone for moment could tell them how important they are, how worthy they are to be loved , to be fed and not be left in a state of non-acceptance.I feel great respect for the person who made me realise that money is just one component of life and that happiness lies within, happiness can be gained by giving love, affection to people who need it- something which i forgot eversince I left school.

In my quest to reach to the top & self actualise, my philosophy- to be overwhelmed by money-- a guiding factor to control my life. Its true for many people of my generation. we have forgotten- conscience. According to Shakespere Richards III play ( quote) :

My conscience has thousands several tongues, every tongue has several tales and every tale condemns me as a villian

Perhaps this is called self realisation- the form to re-discover self and experiencing transformation.Truly money can not always bring happy moments, the warmth of a loved one, the little surpirses, the tears of happiness, the abundance of love, and ofcourse the enlightenment & realisation..

Best things in life are free.... now that i discovered what you mean to me !!

Good one Ripu...

True to the very letter....

I realised this yesterday when I stopped by the Krishna temple u know of, close to where I stay...

I saw this old man who was seeking alms. It has been quite a while since i actually met an old man seeking alms, so I decided i would start my day with a donation... then i realised,may be it would help to give him something to eat.... I thought it helped to smile.... the nearest vendor i could spot was a tender coconut seller... I bought one tender coconut and gave it to the old man.. just smiled.. I will never forget the smile he returned....
