I wonder why so much celebrations on a particular day, New Year celebrations... and so on. It's just another day in life, but all days are special.
We wouldn't realize the fact, each day is special in our life, rather every day is just another day... its just a count in our life...
I see some people, celebrate only on particular day, but not all the days... life is like a sky... someone celebrate when see the rainbow, someone celebrate when see the sun raise, some one at sun set, BUT it all happens in this beautiful universe / galaxy (whatever...), just see through it, you will celebrate all the times... or you will feel everyday is 'just another day'

You are my perfect mirror...
A beautiful song which really means a lot to me...
This song is available on the most of the English DVDs of
Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev's speech.
You are my perfect mirror,
You show me what I'm not,
In the endless pit of what once was me.
Layer and layer you peel of me,
the pain it is, but the joy it brings.
So, Thank you for showing me what I'm not,
For showing me what I could be. Thank you Endlessly.
If I could only just be, You could show me all the things
that I would be willing enough to see

Should I go...?
Should I go somewhere to get peace of mind? should I go somewhere to realize something? should I go...?
Most of us think about this, if we are frustrated, if we are in the sad moment or if we need some enjoyment, we think to travel somewhere to get something... may be a pleasant place which has some greenery stuff or sea shore or some mountain and so on ...
But what really happens when we travel to such places, how do we feel something good when we are there...
Its not the matter of places, but the flow of mind, since wherever we go, our body is same, our mind is same, but the environment is new may be different as of now.
If we stay for a while in the same place, do we feel the same excitement when we were in the first time? obviously no, WHY? the environment is same, but why we don't feel the same kind of excitement, because its not new to our mind, we have been for a while in that place, since mind needs to jump into new things always, it won't feel better when we are in the same places again and again.
As long as, we apart from the body and mind, we can't realize the real excitement ever. Wherever we go, we carry our body as well as the mind, so, it won't give the permanent joy, but get free from body and mind. 'Mano naasam' - 'destroying the mind' will be the solution for all the problem, but its not that easy to destroy like papers, for that, of course, we have to travel to realize something somewhere some energy places...
so... Should I go...?

Where to make an effort, makes all the difference
A giant ship engine failed.
The ship's owners tried one expert after another but none of them could figure how to fix the engine.
Then they brought in an old man who had been fixing ships since he was young.
He carried a large bag of tools with him when he arrived, he immediately went to work. He inspected the engine very carefully, top to bottom.
Two of the ships' owners were there, watching this man, hoping he would know what to do.
After looking things over, the old man reached into his bag and pulled out a small hammer. He gently tapped something.
Instantly, the engine lurched into life. He carefully put his hammer away, the engine was FIXED.
A week later, the owners received a bill from the old man for 10,000 dollars.
"What?" the owners exclaimed. 'He hardly did anything!'
So they wrote a note to the old man saying, 'Please send us the itemized billing'.
The old man send a bill that read,
Tapping with hammer ..................................... $ 2.00
Knowing where to tap.................................... $ 9,998.00
Moral
Effort is important, but knowing where to make an effort makes all the difference.

You are the best judge
Once upon a time there was a painter who had just completed his course.
He took 3 days and painted beautiful scenery. He wanted people's opinion about his caliber and painting skills. He put his creation at a busy street-crossing. And just down below aboard which read -"I have painted this piece. Since I'm new to this profession I might have committed some mistakes in my strokes etc. Please put a cross wherever you see a mistake."
While he came back in the evening to collect his painting he was completely shattered to see that whole canvass was filled with Xs(crosses) and some people had even written their comments on the painting. Disheartened and broken completely he ran to his master's place and burst into tears. This young artist was breathing heavily and master heard him saying "I'm useless and if this is what I have learnt to paint I'm not worth becoming a painter. People have rejected me completely. I feel like dying"
Master smiled and suggested "My Son, I will prove that you are a great artist and have learnt a flawless painting. Do as I say without questioning it. It WILL work." Young artist reluctantly agreed and two days later early morning he presented a replica of his earlier painting to his master. Master took that gracefully and smiled.
"Come with me. " master said.
They reached the same street-square early morning and displayed the same painting exactly at the same place. Now master took out another board which read -"Gentlemen, I have painted this piece. Since I'm new to this profession I might have committed some mistakes in my strokesetc. I have put a box with colors and brushes just below. Please do a favor. If you see a mistake, kindly pick up the brush and correct it." Master and disciple walked back home.
They both visited the place same evening. Young painter was surprised to see that actually there was not a single correction done so far. Next day again they visited and found painting remained untouched. They say the painting was kept there for a month for no correction came in!
Moral of the story:
It is easier to criticize, but DIFFICULT TO IMPROVE!
So don't get carried away or judge yourself by someone else's criticism and feel depressed...
JUDGE YOURSELF!!
YOU ARE YOUR BEST JUDGE!!!
