Good wish

Brother Dasanrangarajan has very kind sharing a good contemplation through our discussion on Blogcatalog. I feel good after read it many times. I think, it's good if I share it here. I do not intend to bring you referring to a particular religion / belief, but only want to share the good things. Hopefully you will also feel good with the contemplation below:

I asked Lord Krishna to do away with my vices.
Krishna said: They are not there for me to take them away. They are there for you to resist them.

I asked Lord Krishna to complete my body.
Krishna said: Your spirit is complete, your body is only temporary.

I asked Lord Krishna to give me patience.
Krishna said: Patience is a byproduct (side products) of difficulties. It is not given but learned.

I asked Lord Krishna to give me happiness.
Krishna said: I give blessings. Happiness depends upon you.

I asked Lord Krishna to free me of pain.
Krishna said: Suffering makes you go far away from this world and brings you nearer to me.

I asked Lord Krishna to make my spirit grow.
Krishna said: You have to grow by yourself! But I will prune you to make you bear fruit.

I asked Lord Krishna for the things that would make me like life.
Krishna said: I will give you life, so you can enjoy all those things.

I asked Lord Krishna to help me LOVE others, like He loves me.
Krishna said: Ohhh... finally... you got the idea!

In love, harmony, unity
So, let's get together and feel alright.

  2. Did I grasp the drift of the message if I summarize it as: 'don't look up to heaven for solutions but relate to fellow men and women and take your own responsibility to cope with life'?

    Wise words indeed.

  3. Thank you for appreciating the Words of My Lord Krishna. I'm "hankering" for more peace-loving peoples like Our Brother Tikno and all of you. Together we could make this world a better place to live in. Yes, "Heaven" shouldn't become "cause of calamities". Our Colson also got the point very nicely. I remembered the late Mother Theresa of Kolkatta said something like this. "The starving peoples weren't die because of GOD's will, but because we didn't care about them." The point was similar with Colson's insight.

  8. We cannot survive without the grace and mercy of God. He rules and holds the whole world in His hands whether we want to beleive it or nor. Man wants to live independent of God....he wants to be in control.

  12. JK - You are right. Good or bad is a matter of choice, and its result reflect on who we are.

    Seno - Oh... I also love to his motto: "I love you FULL".

    Amrita - Of course because of God then we are alive. God loves human and already put down His rules in this world, and finally human makes a choice.
    Mother Teresa also said: "Do not wait for leaders, do it alone, person to person"

    Rachmat - Nice words, thank you!

  15. Thank you for your response Tikno.

    Since you write about various religions and philosophy, I am just curious to know , if there is any particular religion you follow?
    Are you a Muslim, Buddhist or Christian?
    I hope you don 't mind me asking. I am just curious because you have good knowledge.

  17. Thank you for sharing. It's obvious to me that you are a man of great tolerance. Our country needs people like you.

  18. Amrita - Wouww... you makes me surprised.
    Okay, before marriage, I am Christian (not fanatic). Then I met a woman (now my wife) that I love and she was Buddhist. For you know that inter-religion marriage is not applied in Indonesia. So we have to make a choice and eventually we married in Buddhism. It doesn't matter for me because my family already influenced by Confucius and many relatives are also Buddhist, so I know Buddhism as well.
    I also have many Muslim friends here and often discus with them about religion just to share each other to find the similarity in goal. I also ever live in Bali for nine years where majority are Hindu and I sense so much love and humility in Balinese society.
    Finally I realized that we need love, care each other, respect differences, accepting and be acceptable in a community, with God as our spiritual leader and the way.

    Waluyo - I'm glad you like it. Welcome to my blog.

    Eha - You make me blush.

Chinese New Year 2560 - Gong Xi Fa Cai

On January 26th 2009 (Indonesian time) the Chinese people around the world celebrate the Chinese New Year 2560th (old enough I think). It's sometimes called the Lunar New Year . Following tradition, at the night one day before the first day of new year, all family members gather together for dinner. The chosen venue usually at the home of the most senior member of the family or at restaurant. After dinner, usually followed by giving the red envelopes ( Hongbao in Mandarin; Angpao in Indonesian) from married couples or the elderly to unmarried juniors, and the junior member give respect by saying the hope for health, happiness, and long-aged to the elderly. Prayer at the temples and visiting the other elderly relatives is the next schedules. In Indonesia, I noted that since the era of President Abdurrahman Wahid (also known as Gus Dur), the Chinese culture such as lion dance (Indonesian called Barongsai), the use of Chinese characters and Chinese red paper lantern for decor

Christmas Contemplation When The Bell Ringing

A few days ago, I visited a mall to buy something. The atmosphere was very rousing with Christmas decorations and I believe also occurs around the world. Producers take advantage of Christmas moment to compete and increase sales with tempting offers, such as: discount 20%, 30%, 40%, buy one get one, etc. Parents are busy thinking of what gifts should be purchased, and children imagining of what the gift they will get. Many people calculate their money for the best holiday package. That's NOT wrong! But... when the bell is ringing.... Before: Christmas is the birth of Savior! Now: Santa, where is my gift? Before: That is the beginning of the redemption of our sin. Now: Let's be happy for welcoming Christmas and new year. Before: Jesus has come in simplicity. Now: Let's go holiday ! I'm just imagining the genuine spirit of why we celebrate Christmas has gone. And... in this opportunity, I want to tell you that the Christmas bell resounding the call to the soul to follow t
