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!
amazing words!! how deep reflection...thanks for sharing, I'm fine, then here I am, just little bit busy doing something :)
ReplyDeleteDid 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'?
ReplyDeleteWise words indeed.
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.
ReplyDeleteHi love, thanks for vist in my site.
ReplyDeleteGreeting from Italy. Caribù

ReplyDeleteI asked Mbah Surip to build a good friendship. Mbah Surip said, "I love you full, ha..ha...ha.."
ReplyDeleteWe 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.
ReplyDeleteMother Thersa was the hands and feet of Christ.
ReplyDeletewise words, we should think all for one and one, share each others to make better future for all of us
ReplyDeleteOops, sory mising words, I mean,
ReplyDeletewise words, we should think all for one and one for all, share each others to make better future for all of us :D
JK - You are right. Good or bad is a matter of choice, and its result reflect on who we are.
ReplyDeleteSeno - 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!
very good

Beautiful post Tikno.
ReplyDeleteRummuser - Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your response Tikno.
ReplyDeleteSince 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.
GOOD WISE WORD....THANK'S FOR SHARING...
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing. It's obvious to me that you are a man of great tolerance. Our country needs people like you.
ReplyDeleteAmrita - Wouww... you makes me surprised.
ReplyDeleteOkay, 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.
Beautiful, my friend! Lets get together to build a new world of loving brotherhood. We got the idea! hahahhaa
ReplyDeleteHug and blessings,
Haver
