What are yu running for?

On a chilly cold night,

On a pavement along the grave road,

In the silent smokey haze,

In the enchanted moonlight,

Walks briskly, a weary soul,

With watery eyes,

And melancholic mind,

Whispers the tedious heart,

"what are yu running for?"

A raindrop--"from clouds to clouds"

A raindrop falling from the clouds, 

dropping on a trespasser's watery eyes, 

holding dreams, wandering through bewilderment, 

welcoming every drop of rain, 

the tear, the raindrop, 

equally concentrated keep flowing with the tripping train, 

seeping through sands, 

joining the streams, 

turning to vapors, 

filling up clouds, 

all ready to fall again.,.

Bright rainbow"

It starts with a cup of tea,

With every blow of morning breeze,

How a melancholic heart feels,

Knows no cuckoo, & no waving leaf,

Till clouds gather, and it rains & rains,

Watching the rain tripping down the drains,

Filling the grounds, making ponds around,

Washing all dusts off, removing pains,

Clouds settle, giving way to beaming rays,

And making the rainbow, and all gay,

That's how GOD coloured my day.,.

Addenda Et Corrigenda..

Addenda Et Corrigenda
(added & improved)

The end' is intended, [Greek: boulaeton];
the means' are chosen, [Greek: proaireton];
the circumstances' are simply permitted, [Greek: anekton], rightly or wrongly.
The intention' of the end is called by English philosophers the "motive" ;
while the choice of means they call the "intention" an unfortunate terminology.
Observe, both end and means are willed directly, but the circumstances indirectly.”

"As the wax takes all shapes, and yet is wax still at the end; similarly, the soul transported in so many several passions of joy, fear, hope, sorrow, anger, and the rest, has for its general groundwork of all this, Love." Hence, says Carey, Love does not figure in Collins's Ode on the Passions. (though i personally dont believe in love but passion i cant deny).
Happiness must endure to length of days. Happiness is the perfect good of man. But no good is perfect that will not last.
“Happiness is a bringing of the soul to act according to the habit of the best and most perfect virtue, that is, the virtue of the speculative intellect, borne out by easy surroundings, and enduring to length of days—[Greek: energeia psy”

Plato is a thorough Stoic when he says, that every pleasure and pain comes with a nail to pin down the soul to the body and make it corporeal.

Reflection & clay - rumi

Reflection in the mirror is object defined,
Do u knw why the mirror never lies,
Becoz keeping a clean face is its prize.
We pray many times for loss and demise,
With grace wont hear infinite wise.
If ulook towards he earth for ur wage,
Ur the bird i.etrapped inside a cage.
I envy dirt and dust, the price ipay,
Iwish i'd never risen from clay,
Like clay with seeds i'd rather play.
This journey my soul has tested and tried,
What gains this journey brought to my side,
He desires to retiurn to the clay,
He who sees no benefits coming his way,
To turn back is nothing but his greed,
To go forth can only stem from his need,
Each plant i.e seeking to reach its height,
Increase, vitality , growth its right,
Whenever it turns around towards the earth,
Will face draught, disease and even death.

Theres always HIM, the ONLY listener!

All night, a man called “God”
Until his lips were bleeding.
Then his Adversary said, “Hey! Mr Gullible!
... How comes you’ve been calling all night
And never once heard God say, “Here, I AM”?
You call out so earnestly and, in reply, what?
I’ll tell you what. Nothing!”

The man suddenly felt empty and abandoned.
Depressed, he threw himself on the ground
And fell into a deep sleep.
In a dream, he met an angel, who asked,
“Why are you regretting calling out to God?”

The man said, “ I called and called
But God never replied, “Here I AM.”

The Angel explained, “God has said,
“Your calling my name is My reply.
Your longing for Me is My message to you.
All your attempts to reach Me
Are in reality My attempts to reach you.
Your fear and love are a noose to catch Me.
In the silence surrounding every call of “God”
Waits a thousand replies of “Here I AM.”

All from a silent & lonely heart!

All alone, in the darkest hour of my night,
Nothing iget to see around my lonely path!
But only worries weighing me down,
And the sins heaping above my life!
All ican is supplicate to YOU,
At YOUR door crying for forgiveness from YOU!
From YOU is guidance,
From YOU is disobedience!
Am no longer capable,
Just guide me all and through!
YOU are all hope for a poor silent heart,
Looking up for forgiveness from YOU!

Of Flies and Philosophers: Wittgenstein and Philosophy

The idea that philosophy is purely descriptive, and should “leave the world as it is” falls short. It can play a more radical role.
-
“To show the fly the way out of the fly bottle ”— that, Wittgenstein once said, was the aim of his philosophy. While it is perhaps unclear whether anyone — philosopher or fly — should be flattered by this comparison, his overall point is clear enough, as Paul Horwich notes in his recent piece, “Was Wittgenstein Right?” When we get curious about philosophical problems we are drawn into puzzles by the promise of sweet enlightenment, only to find ourselves caught in frustration (and banging our heads against the same wall over and over again). What we need, Wittgenstein thinks, is liberation — liberation from the prison of pseudo-problems we have brought upon ourselves; liberation from traditional philosophy. And i believe once people start working on liberation, they'll find them at ease, and also their surrounding lot!

Heed for the reed.,.

Pay heed to the grievances of the reed,
Of what divisive separations breed
From the reed bed cut away just like a weed,
My music ppl curse, warn and heed,
Sliced to pieces my bosom and heart bleed,
While itell this tale of desire and need.

Whoever who fell away from the source,
Will seek and toil until returned to course,
Of grievances i sang to every crowd,
Befriended both the humble and the proud,
Eachformed conjecture in their own mind,
As tho to my secrets they were blind,
My secrets are buried within my grief,
Yet to the eye and ear, thats no relief,
Body and soul both unveiled in trust,
Yet sight of soul for body is not a must.

7principles of an eagle Dr.Monroe

PRINCIPLE 1 

Eagles fly alone at high altitude and not with sparrows or other small birds. No other bird can got to the height of the eagle. Stay away from sparrows and ravens. 

> Eagles fly with Eagles! 

PRINCIPLE 2 

Eagles have strong vision. They have the ability to focus on something up to five kilometers away. When an eagle sites his prey, he narrows his focus on it and set out to get it. No matter the obstacles, the eagle will not move his focus from the prey until he grabs it. 

> Have a vision and remain focused no matter what the obstacle and you will succeed! 

PRINCIPLE 3 

Eagles do not eat dead things. They feed only on fresh prey. Vultures eat dead animals, but eagles will not. 

> Be careful with what you feed your eyes and ears with. Steer clear of outdated and old information. Always do your research well! 

PRINCIPLE 4 

Eagles love the storm. When clouds gather, the eagles get excited. The eagle uses the storm’s wind to lift it higher. Once it finds the wind of the storm, the eagles uses the raging storm to lift him above the 
clouds. In the meantime, all the other birds hide in the leaves and branches of the trees. 

> We can use the storms of life to rise to greater heights. Achievers relish challenges and use them profitably! 

PRINCIPLE 5 

The Eagle tests before it trusts. When a female eagle meets a male and they want to mate, she flies down to earth with the male pursuing her and she picks a twig. She flies back into the air with the male pursuing her. 
Once she has reached a height high enough for her, she lets the twig fall to the ground and watches it as it falls. The male chases after the twig. The faster it falls, the faster he chases it. He has to catch it before it 
falls to the ground. He then brings it back to the female eagle. 

The female eagle grabs the twig and flies to a higher altitude and then drops the twig for the male to chase. This goes on for hours, with the height increasing until the female eagle is assured that the male eagle has mastered the art of catching the twig which shows commitment. Then and only then, will she allow him to mate with her. 

> Whether in private life or in business, one should test commitment of people intended for partnership! 

PRINCIPLE 6 

When ready to lay eggs, the female and male eagle identify a place very high on a cliff where no predators can reach. The male flies to earth and picks thorns and lays them on the crevice of the cliff. Then they build the nest with layers of twigs, thorns and grass, as to help the eaglets with protection from intruders. She lays the eggs and protects them; he builds the nest and hunts. During the time of training the young ones to fly, the mother eagle throws the eaglets out of the nest. Because they are scared, they jump into the nest. She, then takes off the soft layers leaving the thorns bare so the eaglets cannot jump into the nest, they are pricked by thorns. Shrieking and bleeding they jump out again this time wondering why the mother and father who love them so much are torturing them. Next, mother eagle pushes them off the cliff into the air where the father eagle catches them up till they get to flap their wings. 

The preparation of the nest teaches us to prepare for changes and how mutual co-operation brings success. The thorns of life come to teach us that we need to grow, get out of the nest and live on. We may not know it but the seemingly comfortable and safe haven may have thorns. 

> The people who love us do not let us languish in sloth but push us hard to grow and prosper. Even in their seemingly bad actions they have good intentions for us! 

PRINCIPLE 7 

When an Eagle grows old, his feathers become weak and cannot take him as fast as he should. When he feels weak and about to die, he retires to a place far away in the rocks. While there, he plucks out every feather on his body until he is completely bare. He stays in this hiding place until he has grown new feathers, then he can come out. 

> We occasionally need to shed off old habits & items that burden us without adding to our lives!

yet holding on.,.

of the black night from pole to pole,
i thank GOD for my unconquerable soul,
in the fell clutch of circumstance, inever cried loud,
under the bludgeonings of chances, my bloody head is yet unbowed,
beyond this place of wrath and tears, looms but the horror of shade,
yet the menace of years, finds out and find me unafraid,
its never about what am going through,
what matter more are the miseries around,
i have had to stand alone in the crew ( and not befallen ) to look after
the colours all around.,.

mi beloved daddy :***

Dear Dad

My father dearest,

I know its too late,

to say how much I love you,

that all my mistakes I now regret.

All the times,I remember,

you were there for me,caring for me,

every moment,which now, I can see.

Understanding my unspoken words,

honoring my emotions,my feelings,

I am so sorry now,for increasing all your worries.

Believing in my work,

guiding me when I go wrong,

and by just being there,

you would make me feel strong.

Wiping my hidden tears,

watching fondly my smiles,

never letting me know,

troubles that came once in a while.

My first true hero,

my first man,

whose heart I would break,

as much as no one can.

Who held me,

during my first steps,

who was invited to my first tea party,

who applauded my wrong dance moves,

thinking they were good and pretty.

With whom,I'd share,

my secrets,my life,

who always found time,

to hear my dull story lines.

But then,i never realised,

how we became apart,

it was destiny, or that was all about life.

But now i am,

i truly am sorry

for maybe some wrongs i did,

if ur here, to hear it.

But at nights dark, 

that now i am afraid,

i know you are there,

your memories bring me courage.

And as I walk,

the long streets alone,

i feel a shadow,

of you being with, i know.

I am your angel,

and your my love,

and i till now believe,

you are with me,

on my every way.

And i want to tell,

you, how much I love,

for I know,

you are watching me,

from heavens above.

miss you :********  & blessed be you wherever u stay <3 

for mi beloved blessed heavenly mom :*

sher shah toll place/updated!

the sher shah toll plaza (N-70) under the NHA was renewated in 2012 into a six laned toll place, marvellous for the passerbys though, where this small veiled hut ( for the poor guard on duty 24/7 ) was placed all in the middle to add to the beauty of the place perhaps ;)

overloading-another dilemma

the harvesting season is on and the reapers want to earn as much and in less time and with less money deficit , besides discretionary spending.,.it is there we get to see overloaded trucks and dumpers ,etc that pose threat not only to themselves cuz of excess loading and deficient experience but also to the public on highways, and are reasons to everyday hittings and accidents as cars and other vehicles hardly find way to pass on already 2 way roads.,.where the traffic, besides the highway authorities are too busy to notice..

bound in GOD's love :*******

there are degrees of heavenly light in souls,

Prophets & Saints have shown the path they trod,

its starting points and stages, halts and goals,

all leading to the single end in GOD :**********

       ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

>  its in HIS love when your lost, miracles are bound to happen!



> Never to grieve , for it is only HIS love & mercy that provides yu with ease :)

will MISS YU BELOVEDS forever :*************

the KHUDI' concept!

According to Iqbal man is the care-taker of all possibilities of life; (in a verse he says: ‘Tiree fitrat ameen hai mumkinat-i zindgani ki,’  (Your nature is care-taker of the possibilities of life). In fact the human being is the master of both the seen and the unseen as well as capable of exploring what is still not known to the temporal eye. It is one’s selfwhich is capable of seeing and doing what apparently looks a miracle. The selfin an individual is speculative and also possesses a sharp insight that sees the whole. It sees not merely the observable part of an object but the whole of it. According to Kierkegaard, if a person possessing such an insight stands on a high point and gazes out over a flat region he will see roads running parallel to each other with fields in between. But a person lacking this insight will either see only the roads and not the fields or just see fields and not the roads.

There are signs of God’s existence everywhere in the universe even in man himself. God says to us: “ON EARTH AND IN YOURSELVES, THERE ARE SIGNS FOR FIRM BELIEVERS. CAN YOU NOT SEE?” 

Your real existence is your own self. If you want to understand God you have to understand your self first. To understand and then awaken your self  you have to pass through strenuous stages; and the most difficult task for you is to fight against yourself.
 Although it looks odd to fight against one’s own self, this fight is actually self control, for which Iqbal says: 'Self control in individuals builds families, in countries it builds empires'

get out of self!

if u desire the self, get out of self,

leave the shallow stream behind,

and flow into the river deep and wide,

dont be an ox pulling the wheel of the plough,

1. turn with the stars that wheel above you!
