Mirza Ghalib is one of India’s most popular poets, skilled in Urdu and Persian. He was leading poet in the court of Moghul kingdom in India during ninteenth century. I wish to share couplets of Ghalib:

” Hazaaron khwahisheN aisi ke har KHwahish pe dum nikle
Bohot nikle mere armaan, lekin phir bhi kam nikle.”

MEANING:

I have thousands of desires, each worth dying for…
Many of my desires got realized…yet I feel it was too little…

(Ghalib always wants more and different. Word Satisfaction is not in his dictionary. When Ghalib conquers one star, he says there are many more adventures ahead. This theme runs throughout his divan, his poem book.

That’s the best quote I’ve read in a very long time. Simplistic, sweet and too the point. Self-defining.

Individuality!! This is the aim of the journey and then return to the House of our Father, as the Prodigal Son!
The colouring of our Aura, until everything becomes White and Light, gaining this through ‘experience’.
LOVE,
Thelma.

Reading that citation this morning brings me back to all my past as a child. Trying to understand why I felt different, why I thought I was an E.T. in that pre-school class when I saw all the children and the educator. All those years of trying to understand why I could not feel that I fit in a mold, that I felt that I was not a member of that community called “Earth”. And I still do not feel that I am from this planet, that the essence that fill my veins and nourishes my thoughts and my actions are most of the times opposite in the energy … and that brings me to Yes, I am different and I am me and always have been. That is good to taste this morning. That gives me solidity and make me be conscious of my Unicity (not my difference … I prefer the word Unique”) I have that thing with words for words can be abusive, violent, destroying, confusing … words are the instrument that hurt me as a child and words are the strongest weapons to kill or give life … So, my search of why I felt different, and why I do not feel that I fit, why I have to make “efforts” to stay grounded on Earth, is over … thank you … I am unique, have always been and now time to act in accordance with my unique path … which is not so different since we are all here to elevate our souls and help others by the light that we possess and are holding up high and not hiding.

Dear all,

-”Different people in the world makes difference in the world.”

-”Everybody is different or majority of humans are different, those who think are not are not thinking enough.”

-”Being yourself is being different self.”

-”Who is similar and who is different?
God created us equal as humans,
life is mysterious journey,
we are carpenter who creates by cutting trees,
We are HIM and HE is in me.”

-”Life is about making difference and creating impact on society be it right ways or wrong ways. Simply, because those who create and make difference has only one way.”

God bless you all !

there is a mad rush for being diffrent !

everyone wants to be diffrent, unique, ( but then everyone alreday is unique, diffrent ) and in that rush to be difrfrent, unique we all become same ! damn ironic no ! what is wrong in being ordinary, simple and straight. perhaps ehough to make being ordinary, or rather acceptance that i am ordinary and extraodiinary acceptance ! once we are not in a hurry to be something, to be this or that, we can perhaps be what we are !

Yes you are winner… just like everyone else. No two snow flakes are alike! It’s treacherous to ever compare or be compared to something or someone else. I know I’ve been guilty of this, and have payed a very high price for it. I think I have learned my lesson well.
love.

Yes, sometimes we forget how important is to stay as we are, not trying to please others and wear a mask.
