The pragmatic relays of life

My life is wholly inspired from the words and sayings of Swami Vivekananda (I call him " "Naru" - Narendra Nath Dutta.). Some of them are....

* * *
"Stand up, be bold, be strong. Take the whole responsibility on your own shoulders, and know that you are the creator of your own destiny."
* * *
"Be creative rather than simply being adaptive!"
* * *
"If in this hell of a world one can bring a little joy and peace even for a day into the heart of a single person, that much alone is true; this I have learnt after suffering all my life; all else is mere moonshine..."
* * *
"Never mind failures; they are quite natural, they are the beauty of life, these failures. What would life be without them? It would not be worth having if it were not for struggles. Where would be the poetry of life? Never mind the struggles, the mistakes. I never heard a cow tell a lie, but it is only a cow — never a man. So never mind these failures, these little back-slidings; hold the ideal a thousand times, and if you fail a thousand times, make the attempt once more."
* * *
"
Fear is death, fear is sin, fear is hell, fear is unrighteousness. All the negative thoughts and ideas that are in this world have proceeded from this evil spirit of fear."

Sense of Solitude | Abstraction


Still no hope,
But lamp is still lit.

In desert of distress,
I carry some bits.

Likes, what they are.
Dislikes, what they persuade.

I've no words, no regrets,
But I've been persuaded,
To be like what I am!

A life in solitude,
An inimitable tranquilizer rep.

Hold me, hold my hands!
Hold me again!
