God is not a matter of understanding, it is a matter of experience



We are always inspired by people around us. I am grateful to the people around me. I have been created what I am today, by their inspiration. But we find only few who are inspiring character and role model for many life’s.

 I have few role models in my life, which I want personally to meet. One among them was Dr APJ Kalam.

Two years ago, he had come to Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore to deliver lecture. Where I thought I can see him closely. But entry was restricted to the IISc. Even though I tried to use the influence it was difficult to get inside.

Thought releasing is my wish, fulfilling is God’s responsibility…Power of a dream makes difference. “When the dream is powerful, the entire existence rearranges itself so that the dream can become reality”.

I have read, as small boy, looking at the seagull during fishing with his father , he has dream to fly like seagull, and his dream was powerful, DR APJ Kalam could see it reality in his life.

May be power of my dream, the existence was rearranged itself, that, the appointment with my role model was fixed. And I had a meeting with him personal.

It was a life time experience to meet him and experience his presence in front of my eyes.

Meeting was fixed in No 10, Rajaji marg, New delhi, at about 8.30PM.  I have reached the place by 7.45PM. Entered the huge Government bungalow with lot of security inside. There were few other people were waiting to meet him. My turn came and I entered, He was so simple and stood up to welcome me to his chamber to a chair in front of his chair. Truly he is “simple living and high thinking” He is one of the very few shining stars in the darkness that has engulfed since some time.

There was meditative silence inside the room. First time experiencing in my life there was current flowing, the moment I touched his feet. There was energy with him, even at the age of 81, the energetic movement spontaneous responses in the discussions was amazing. Spiritually aligned. God created a man so that he can live such life, again he can become God. He is close it.   It was a divine experience to talk to him for few minutes about me, about my agenda of meeting. There was a love, supreme peace and bliss in his eyes. The silence was real strength of joy “God is not a matter of understanding, It is a matter of experience” It was my humble attempt to experience the God in him…

After everything, though I knew the protocol and security, I have asked him to have photo with him, agreed. I did not arranged professional photographer, so I was taking out my small cyber shot camera, looking at camera, immediately he called his personal secretary to click the photo. After a few photographs. He sat back on his chair.  I felt like touching his feet and take a blessing. I have asked him, I want your blessing, though he was reluctant, I went to him and touched his feet. I should say I am blessed…

7.Finding True happiness in life

Finding True Happiness in Life The saying, "It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy," encapsulates a profound truth about the pursuit of happiness. The very essence of life revolves around the pursuit of happiness, and this pursuit is fueled by hope. While the future is uncertain, we live with the hope that it holds something better for us. Consider the paradox of wealth and happiness. Many individuals amass vast fortunes and acquire material possessions beyond measure, yet they find themselves inexplicably unhappy. On the flip side, there are those who possess considerably less in terms of wealth and material goods, yet they radiate joy and contentment. Think back to a time when you yearned for something—perhaps a new car, a bigger house, or a promotion at work. You likely envisioned the happiness it would bring. But when you finally achieved your desired goal, the happiness you experienced may not have been as enduring or intense as you had imagined. Does this mea...

5.Handling Life's Ups and Downs with Maturity

"Handling Life's Ups and Downs with Maturity" We often hear the saying, "What goes up must come down," which is like Newton's third law of motion. This statement is commonly applied to our lives, and many of us see it as a rule we must follow. But is it always a negative thing? Let's explore this idea and see how we can look at it in a positive light. The Dual Nature of the Quote: The saying can be seen in both a positive and a negative way. For instance, our grandparents used to caution us that too much laughter might be followed by tears. This made us wary of being too happy. We've also heard that quick success can lead to quick failure, making us believe in the need for caution in our achievements. Embracing Positivity: We must not let this quote only bring negativity into our lives. While Newton's law talks about gravity pulling things down, this saying can also pull our emotional spirits down. It can make us see things more negatively than...
