Congrats to you JD! I am happy for you and Nithya! God bless you both!

They deserve our love more than anybody else...

A man stopped at a flower shop to order some flowers to be wired to his mother who lived two hundred miles away. As he got out of his car he noticed a young girl sitting on the curb sobbing. He asked her what was wrong and she replied, "I wanted to buy a red rose for my mother. But I only have seventy-five cents, and a rose costs two dollars."

The man smiled and said, "Come on in with me. I'll buy you a rose." He bought the little girl her rose and ordered his own mother's flowers. As they were leaving he offered the girl a ride home. She said, "Yes, please! You can take me to my mother." She directed him to a cemetery, where she placed the rose on a freshly dug grave.

The man returned to the flower shop, cancelled the wire order, picked up a bouquet and drove the two hundred miles to his mother's house.

Enaku purinja moral:
Amma-Appa deserve all the love in the world that can be showered. Everyone else comes next in line. They are our most precious treasure. We should love and care for them more than any other thing in life. God Forbid, if they leave this world then one can do nothing else but regret. So give them all the respect and love they truly deserve.

Love you both Amma-Appa :)

No reasons to love...

Lady : Why do u like me..? Why do u love me?
Man : I can't tell the reason.. but I really like u..
Lady : U can't even tell me the reason. How can you say u like me? How can you say u love me?Man : I really don't know the reason, but I can prove that I love u.
Lady : Proof? No! I want u to tell me the reason. My friend's bf can tell her why he loves her but not u!
Man : Ok..ok!!! Hmmmm...
because u are beautiful;
because ur voice is sweet;
because u are caring;
because u are loving;
because u are thoughtful;
because of ur smile;
because of ur every movement!
The lady felt very satisfied with the man's answer. Unfortunately, a few days later, she met with an accident and went into comma. The man then placed a letter by her side, and here is the content: Darling,Because of your sweet voice I love u. Now can you talk? No! Therefore I cannot love u. Because of your care and concern I like u. Now that u cannot show them, therefore I cannot love u. Because of your smile, because of ur every movements I love u. Now can u smile? Now can u move? No, therefore I cannot love u. If love needs a reason, like now, there is no reason for me to love u anymore. But, I still love u. Does love need a reason? Love doesn't need a reason.

" Sometimes the best and the most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen, cannot be touched, but can be felt in the heart "

So there is no point in asking the reason if some one loves u!!!

Horizons that limit my vision....

Stage one: Horizon of Fear-

I provide for the necesseties and look out for myself. But when I get anxious, I feel lost. Only God knows why bad things happen in this world. Bounded by anxiety, insecurity, dependency.

Stage two: Horizon of Control-

I exert power and relish competition as a way of fulfilling my ambitions. But when things get beyond my control, I am totally frustrated. Only God knows why things don't work out the way I had planned. Bound by guilt, duty, victimization.

Stage three: Horizon of Fatalism-

I'm at peace with myself and know what is happening with me inside. But I lose me center when nothing makes sense anymore. Only God knows why destiny can be so cruel and capricious. Bounded by karma, introversion and lack of power.

Stage four: Horizon of Self-deception-

I navigate through the world with much more intuition and insight than most people. But I can be misled by my inner voice at times. Only God knows why my intuition deceives me just when I need it most. Bound by hidden secrets, past conditioning ego needs.

Stage five: Horizon of Fantasy-

My inner world is rich with new discoveries, and I have enough awareness to see that my thoughts come true. But some of my deepest wishes stay on the level of unreachable fantasies. Only God knows why this happens. Bounded by self-absorption, grandiosity, playing God.

Stage six: Horizon of Identity-

My whole life is devoted to service, and I can be selfless in the face of great demands from others. But sometimes the suffering of humanity makes me want to escape this world. Only God knows why I can't lose myself in him all the time. Bounded by thought, personal ego, traces of old conditioning.

Stage seven: Infinity-No Horizon-

I see no difference between my mind and the mind in all things. My identity is one with all people. Only God knows that I am merged into him in all dimensions at all times. Boundless!!!
