I would like to tell you all something about Ego this time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have seen people who talks about ego and ego clashes always in my life. Well I also have spoke about it. I have seen the power of that three letter word Ego. Trust me the word seems to be so simple but it can makes your life hell. Everybody is having Ego. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Actually what is Ego? Ego is something which comes from the unawareness. A bit of awareness will kill any kind of ego in your mind. At the very beginning of this world there was no word name ego. People don’t know what it is. Slowly the time came when people started making their rules and behavioral standards ego pierced in to the heart of human. We all are living in this world according to the standards set by our religion or our parents or our society. About that I will talk later.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I will come back to our topic Ego. I will tell you a small example for the nonexistence of ego. Let’s take a room full of darkness; you are not able to see things inside it. Assume that darkness as ego. When you bring a candle inside the room you are able to see everything inside it, because there is no darkness in the room now. The light you bring inside the room is the awareness. Now what happened is it is not that when you bring the light inside the room darkness went outside. The fact is there was no darkness inside the room. It’s just the absence of awareness. Ego is nothing it is just lack of awareness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We all are only reacting to the things happening around us, we all forget about doing the action. The reason why it is hard for people to realize the fact is, we been following and told to live in a scrupulous way from our very young age. And we been following that or forced to follow that. We are bonded to lot of things around us. Only great people can take the risk to break that bond and live their life in the way they want. For example when I got the results First Class in my Engineering I felt like shout ear-piercing and show my happiness, Unfortunately I was in the college at that time there were people around me and I couldn’t even show my happiness there in the right way just because I was aware that people around and I know what they will think when I scream from there. I should have done in the right way if there was no body around. I am just trying to tell you the limitations a normal human is having. He or she has to think about so many things before doing any thing in his life.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Realizing the fact there is no ego and remove that completely from your mind is such a difficult task for a normal human. That’s why there are only one Buddha and Jesus in this world. What we can do is just be aware about the ego and what it can do to your life. Stop reacting and start doing actions. If you keep on reacting for things you will never be happy in your life and you will be controlled by the people around you, because you are just reacting for the comments or the things happening around you. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope you all liked it. Please let me know the comments and suggestions about this article.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks and Regards&lt;br /&gt;Vivek Mannil&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5569030259172783406-2786087695069511027?l=vivilovesvivi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vivilovesvivi.blogspot.com/feeds/2786087695069511027/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5569030259172783406&amp;postID=2786087695069511027' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5569030259172783406/posts/default/2786087695069511027'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5569030259172783406/posts/default/2786087695069511027'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vivilovesvivi.blogspot.com/2009_10_11_archive.html#2786087695069511027' title='Its Ego this time...'/><author><name>vivilovesvivi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08308062646168595984</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569030259172783406.post-6885862636850576402</id><published>2008-09-16T09:43:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-15T05:12:34.673-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Realise some facts about life..(article by Vivek Mannil)</title><content type='html'>&lt;meta name="ProgId" content="Word.Document"&gt;&lt;meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 11"&gt;&lt;meta name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 11"&gt;&lt;link style="font-family: verdana;" rel="File-List" href="file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5CVIVEK%7E1.MAN%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtml1%5C01%5Cclip_filelist.xml"&gt;&lt;!--[if gte mso 9]&gt;&lt;xml&gt;  &lt;w:worddocument&gt;   &lt;w:view&gt;Normal&lt;/w:View&gt;   &lt;w:zoom&gt;0&lt;/w:Zoom&gt;   &lt;w:punctuationkerning/&gt;   &lt;w:validateagainstschemas/&gt;   &lt;w:saveifxmlinvalid&gt;false&lt;/w:SaveIfXMLInvalid&gt;   &lt;w:ignoremixedcontent&gt;false&lt;/w:IgnoreMixedContent&gt;   &lt;w:alwaysshowplaceholdertext&gt;false&lt;/w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText&gt;   &lt;w:compatibility&gt;    &lt;w:breakwrappedtables/&gt;    &lt;w:snaptogridincell/&gt;    &lt;w:wraptextwithpunct/&gt;    &lt;w:useasianbreakrules/&gt;    &lt;w:dontgrowautofit/&gt;   &lt;/w:Compatibility&gt;   &lt;w:browserlevel&gt;MicrosoftInternetExplorer4&lt;/w:BrowserLevel&gt;  &lt;/w:WordDocument&gt; &lt;/xml&gt;&lt;![endif]--&gt;&lt;!--[if gte mso 9]&gt;&lt;xml&gt;  &lt;w:latentstyles deflockedstate="false" latentstylecount="156"&gt;  &lt;/w:LatentStyles&gt; &lt;/xml&gt;&lt;![endif]--&gt;&lt;style&gt; &lt;!--  /* Style Definitions */  p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal 	{mso-style-parent:""; 	margin:0in; 	margin-bottom:.0001pt; 	mso-pagination:widow-orphan; 	font-size:12.0pt; 	font-family:"Times New Roman"; 	mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";} @page Section1 	{size:8.5in 11.0in; 	margin:1.0in 1.25in 1.0in 1.25in; 	mso-header-margin:.5in; 	mso-footer-margin:.5in; 	mso-paper-source:0;} div.Section1 	{page:Section1;} --&gt; &lt;/style&gt;&lt;!--[if gte mso 10]&gt; &lt;style&gt;  /* Style Definitions */  table.MsoNormalTable 	{mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; 	mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; 	mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; 	mso-style-noshow:yes; 	mso-style-parent:""; 	mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; 	mso-para-margin:0in; 	mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; 	mso-pagination:widow-orphan; 	font-size:10.0pt; 	font-family:"Times New Roman"; 	mso-ansi-language:#0400; 	mso-fareast-language:#0400; 	mso-bidi-language:#0400;} &lt;/style&gt; &lt;![endif]--&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"  style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:16;"&gt;In everyone’s life there will be some moments that we realizes some facts about the life.

But to be frank I couldn’t follow all that. I tried but trust me it’s really very hard. But I definitely would like to share the things I realized with you. I don’t know how many of you will be agreeing with what I am going to write. But still if you think again you will know.

He hated her. She was such an embarressment. His mom ran a small shop at aflea market. She collected little weeds and such to sell anything for the money they needed. She was such anembarressment. There was this one day during elementary school. It was field day, and his mom came. Hewas so embarressed. How could she do this to me, He thought and threw her a hateful look and ran out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next day at school... "Your mom only has one eye?" ..and they taunted him.&lt;br /&gt;He wished that his mom would just disappear from this world so he said to his mom, "Mom.. why dont youhave the other eye?! If you're only gonna make me a laughing stock, why dont you just die?" His mom did notrespond.. He felt a little bad for behaving like this, but at the same time, it felt good to think that he had saidwhat he wanted to say all this time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe it was because his mom hadn't punished him, but he didn't thought that he had hurt her feelings verybadly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That night...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He woke up, and went to the kitchen to get a glass of water. His mom was crying there, so quietly, as if shewas afraid that she might wake him. He took a look at her, then turned away because of the thing he had saidto her earlier, there was something pinching at him in the corner of his heart. Even so, he hated her motherwho was crying out of her one eye.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So he told himself that he would grow up and become successful because he hated his one-eyed mom andtheir desperate poverty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then he studied real hard. He left his mother and came to Seoul and studied, and got accepted in the SeoulUniversity with all the confidence he had. Then, he got married.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He bought a house of his own. Then he had kids, too. Now he was living happily as a successful man. Heliked it here because it's a place that doesn't remind him of his mom. This happiness was getting bigger andbigger, when..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who's this?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...it was his mother still with her one eye. It felt as if the whole sky was falling apart on him. His little girl ranaway, scared of his mom's eye and he asked her, "Who are you? I don't know you!" as if trying to make thatreal. He screamed at her, "How dare you come to my house and scare my daughter!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"GET OUT OF HERE! NOW!!!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and to this, his mother quietly answered, "Oh, I'm so sorry. I may have gotten the wrong address" and shedissappeared out of sight. Thank goodness... She doesnt recognize him, he thought. He was quite relieved.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He told himself that he was not going to care, or think about this for the rest of his life. Then a wave of reliefcame upon him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One day, a letter regarding a school reunion came to his house. So, lying to his wife that he was going on abusiness trip, he went. After the reunion, he went down to the old shack, that he used to call a house...justout of curiosity to see.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There, he found his mother fallen on the cold ground. But he did not shed a single tear. She had a piece ofpaper in her hand. It was a letter to him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;"My Son,I think my life has been long enough now and i wont visit Seoul anymore but would it be too much to ask if iwanted you to come visit me once in a while? I miss you so much and i was so glad when i heard you werecoming for the reunion. But I decided not to go to the school for you and I'm sorry that I only have one eye,and I was an embarressment for you. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;You see, when you were very little, you got into an accident, and lost your eye. As a mom, I could not standwatching you having to grow up with only one eye so i gave you mine. I was so proud of my son that wasseeing a whole new world for me, in my place, with that eye. I was never upset at you for anything you did.The couple of times that you were angry with me, I thought to myself, 'It's because he loves me'My Son... Oh, My Son...I do not want you to cry for me, because of my death. Please dont cry my son, i love you so much"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He burst into tears. He could never forgive himself for making the biggest mistake of a lifetime. He realizedhow lucky he was to have a mom like her and how selfish he was that he never even cared for her. It was theextremely sad day for him. He would never get her mom back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So folks don't be ashamed of your mom. Pass this on to any moms, daughters and sons that youknow.Have a blessed day everyone!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Took from knowledgebased-script.com&lt;br /&gt;Regard Vivek Mannil&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5569030259172783406-364742261581718424?l=vivilovesvivi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vivilovesvivi.blogspot.com/feeds/364742261581718424/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5569030259172783406&amp;postID=364742261581718424' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5569030259172783406/posts/default/364742261581718424'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5569030259172783406/posts/default/364742261581718424'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vivilovesvivi.blogspot.com/2008_07_24_archive.html#364742261581718424' title='His mom only had one eye.'/><author><name>vivilovesvivi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08308062646168595984</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569030259172783406.post-4951761873041466313</id><published>2007-08-01T21:47:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-08-02T21:40:27.426-07:00</updated><title type='text'>What would be your answer for this question?(article by vivekmannil)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;I never thought of answering such an interesting question in my life when my friend asked me this. What would you like to be born in your next rebirth if god gives you one more chance? I know some of the people should have thought of this. This question seems like very simple to answer. But the real meaning of that subject implies to lot of questions which u can analyze your entire life incidents to think of an answer. As we all say god never let anyone to be happy always. All our life is a balanced form of happiness and sadness. Anyone thought of that why it is like that. Why a person can't be happy always in his or her life. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;From now onwards I am going to tell you something which we wouldn't have thought in our life most of the times. For getting an answer for this you need to realize the indisputable fact that we all are alone in this world. All our body is holding our own individual souls. But most of them don't realize that. In everyone's life there will be one situation that he or she himself will think that they are alone in this world. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;When a baby is born he is not only coming into this new world but to a share of relationships, which will be haunting his whole life. I am not saying that I dislike like relationships and all. No human have right to say that. The main reason is we can't forget the care and love given by our parents. When I am telling all this you may be thinking that its advance thinking or something. I am just writing what I feel like and what I know in my life. Most of the people may not agree with me. But when you think deeply I am sure you will know what I am telling is the truth. God will show you once in your life and that's with a perfect example. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;You know most of the humans are weak hearted because they are afraid and worried about hurting their loved once. Their family, their wife, kids. When we are about to take a decision we have to think of everyone and must make sure that no one is hurt because of what I am doing. When we are born our parents have already dreamed of making their child the best one in this world and they will care and train their kids based on their wish and their aim about their child. No parents have a bad intension that my kid must grow like the worse kid in this world. But I am just telling you the flow of our life. I am also a responsible guy from my family. I love my parents and my brother more then anything in this world. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;The happiest people in this world if you ask me I will say saints, munis who spend their whole life for prayers and never think of anything. No barrier of relationships. They submitted themselves into god. They have no one to care about, they have no one to complain, and they have no one to think of before taking a decision. They are free from everything. They can go anywhere. They know only to love. They show the people the way of god. Normal human being can't imagine the happiness the are getting from what they are doing. Because we are busy with dealing our life with our daily routines. And we don't want to be like them because of our relation barrier. You can't ever think of changing into a saint by leaving our family, wife and your kids. This makes us weak. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;When my friend asked me that question I could only think of being born as a saint in my next life and get all my happiness which I missed in this life… so What would be your answer for this question?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;Regards&lt;br /&gt;Vivekmannil&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5569030259172783406-4951761873041466313?l=vivilovesvivi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vivilovesvivi.blogspot.com/feeds/4951761873041466313/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5569030259172783406&amp;postID=4951761873041466313' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5569030259172783406/posts/default/4951761873041466313'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5569030259172783406/posts/default/4951761873041466313'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vivilovesvivi.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html#4951761873041466313' title='What would be your answer for this question?(article by vivekmannil)'/><author><name>vivilovesvivi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08308062646168595984</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569030259172783406.post-7818047151359713940</id><published>2007-07-15T19:31:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-08-02T21:40:56.645-07:00</updated><title type='text'>They are my friends....(article by vivekmannil)</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;Today I will tell you something's about friendship.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;?xml:namespace prefix = o /&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;For every individual there is different definition for friendship. Majority thinks that their friends are the best ones in this world. Actually that's the way you have to select your friends also. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;But most of the time you may make a mistake in selecting good friends. It's not our mistake most of the time problems happen between friends because of some small misunderstandings or some small issues with two opinions, or some times a third person can come and create problems. We can't predict such situation. But definitely when problem occurs, then only we analyze the value of your friendship with that person. I will never say my friend to do things which is impossible for him. We must understand the situation of the person also. I had experienced many times friends arguing like this 'I did so much of things for you but when I asked you a favor you are not ready to help me'. May be that person really wanted to help you but the only problem is he doesn't have a way to help his good friend. Mostly it happens in real life. You may simply break the friendship with your good friend for small reasons. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;Well I am not telling that I have so much of experience dealing with friendship. But I must tell you some of my experiences. I met so many people in my life until now still meeting people making friends; the process is going on and on. I have many friends but I keep some of them very special. Because people keep special friends to share things which we cant share with anyone. They are meant for that. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;Among my friends I was the only one who got a chance to go out of the country. I am in &lt;?xml:namespace prefix = st1 /&gt;&lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Malaysia&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; now. I got a chance to complete my studies here. First of all let me introduce my special friends Habi. Prajin, Arun and Fasal.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;My house is near a beach side. I always love to go and sit at the beach side with my friends when ever I get time. That is the place where we discuss our problems and happiness. All my friends have their own problems. Their main problem is money problem in their family. They couldn't pay bills at the right time. Habi's small house has more than 10 people staying. He always wanted to come out of his house and stay far, just to reduce his dad's tension. Every day their house got problems. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;Let me tell you about habi.I saw him at the first day in my higher secondary school collecting money from students as a part of ragging. Ragging was going on at that time. We all were scared of our seniors. It's my first day and I don't know any one there. So I was watching him and thinking that oh god I am also going to be his victim. That time some guys came and asked him his name and batch number and suddenly started beating him. I didn't understand anything I just left the place and went to my class. After sometime the guy who got beaten up earlier came and sat with me in the class. His face was red in color after heavy punch from the seniors. I asked him I thought you are my senior then why you were collecting money there. He said it's my first day also in school. I didn't bring anything to eat for lunch, so I was just trying to arrange some money. Because it's the first day so no one knows who the senior are. I didn't know what to tell him. I said its ok we will share I have food with me. Lunch time came and I didn't eat anything from my lunch box. He finished everything in it. I understood that he didn't eat anything in the morning also. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;Things changed now it already past 5 years. I never expected anything from my friends. My main priority in my life is my mental peace. And I will get it when I talk to them. And I won't get it if I tell anyone else my problems. That's why I keep them so special. Prajin is working as a mechanic in a car shop. Habi is doing his MSC in physics in a university at north side of &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;India&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;. Last time when I called him he was telling me about climate there and food problems. He stopped his hostel food because of money problem. Then I asked him so what do you eat. He said he brought some rice powder from his house last time when he went to house for vacation. Every day he makes something using that rice powder and eats. My laugh and tears came out at the same time. I never wanted my friends to suffer like that. Same time I was having problem here without a job. He knows that well, he asks me the same thing how's your problems. I didn't say anything. He understands that I am also having money problem. He said he has no time to do part time work because of his assignments. But he will start doing it for me so that he can send me money to &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Malaysia&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;. I scolded him like hell. The first thing is he doesn't have enough money to eat and he wants to send me money. After putting down the phone I thanked god for being blessed with good friends. This situation is something like he knows that he can't help me but still he wants to try by sacrificing his time and effort. But I never did anything much for him. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;This is just a small incident happened in my life. There are lot more to tell, if I start telling you all that I will never end. I miss them all every moment here. I am sure you all also have special friends and you also have so much of things to share with me, please mail to me or add as a comment your stories. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;regards&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;vivekmannil&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5569030259172783406-7818047151359713940?l=vivilovesvivi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vivilovesvivi.blogspot.com/feeds/7818047151359713940/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5569030259172783406&amp;postID=7818047151359713940' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5569030259172783406/posts/default/7818047151359713940'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5569030259172783406/posts/default/7818047151359713940'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vivilovesvivi.blogspot.com/2007_07_15_archive.html#7818047151359713940' title='They are my friends....(article by vivekmannil)'/><author><name>vivilovesvivi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08308062646168595984</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569030259172783406.post-3638705355663467579</id><published>2007-07-04T21:51:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-08-02T21:41:45.787-07:00</updated><title type='text'>It happens in everyone's life..(article by vivekMannil)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Hi everyone, I hope by now you all would have known my name. Today I am going to share my experience about my life with all of you. We all come through different stages of life. No one is born as an adult, certain things we will learn only through our experiences. Our parents also learn things like that, and they are still learning. So it means in every stage of our life we are learning something. Learning things will help you in your life to survive or we can say it will make you smart and help you how to deal with your life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People do mistakes, but once they come out from it most of the people wont repeat the same mistake again. It means we have learned something from it. And we know if you repeat the mistake again it's just a waste of your energy and causes tension in many other ways. God has given this power of realization to all living things here. Even if you give cat hot milk two or three times, the next time it wont come and wouldn't even bother to look at the milk that you are giving.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok now you will be thinking why in am talking about realization power in this article by keeping the heading as Family. There is a reason. I also realized so many things in my life. But I think I did it too late in my life. There are certain reasons for that as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before I start I would like to thank my father, mother and brother who did everything for me in this world. I am proud of them. I was brought up like a normal boy. My parents never pamper me a lot. During school days if I recall there weren't any day I had escaped from beating and scolding from my mum. I wondered if the same things had happened in all houses. For confirmation I did ask around my friends. Some said their parents never beat, some said they don't care what he does. But all this answers were not very satisfying for me. Because who admits that they are getting their quota every day from their parents. There was one situation where I refused to go back to home after school thus I purposely hanged around with friends and went home very late. Ok that was during school time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Days passed and I becoming an adult. My friends changed and my expenses also increased. I started asking more money from my parents, I mean pocket money. Most of my friends at that time were from very good family, so they never had a problem in getting plenty of pocket money. But I always have a problem when it comes to money. My parents gave me only sufficient enough money and made sure each and every penny I spend is for very necessary things only. When I ask for more money my parents will start the same old story like you don't know the value of money, when u start earning then only you know about it and all. I will leave the place when they start this story in front of me. The worse part is when I don't have much concentration in listening the story again problem. My mom will say you no responsibilities, as your dad is here to do everything for you but think what you all are going to do after he retires. She always says that she has no hope on her 2 sons. Sometimes I felt like just leaving the house and go somewhere. I had nights where I cried the whole time just thinking of my moms' sharp words.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I am 23 years old. I know a bit of what life is. I travelled to so many places and met so many different kinds of people. I earned a lot of experiences about people's life. I suffered a lot in my life without food, money and lot of things. Now I remember the words of my father and my mother. When they keep on torturing me by telling the difficulties of making money I made a decision that I will never say this to my kids. But after experiencing so many things now I understand why my mom and dad kept on telling that to me. The main purpose of telling that to me was that for me to gain some knowledge about the difficulties of life. You don't know the happiness I got when I got my first salary; tears came out from my eyes. And the next thing I did was I called my dad and mom and told them that I got the first salary. My dad said, we had given you so much of pain by hurting your feelings. You please don't be angry with us. Now I think you got all the answers and reasons as to why we were telling this to you. At that moment I was lost for words.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I respect and I love my parents than anything else in this world. The only mistake I did was I took so long to realize their love towards me. It happens in everyone's life. So before getting irritated with your parent's, my advice is please think a moment. Sooner or later you also will realize this. But don't take too long to realize your parent's love towards you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;regards&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;vivekmannil&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5569030259172783406-3638705355663467579?l=vivilovesvivi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vivilovesvivi.blogspot.com/feeds/3638705355663467579/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5569030259172783406&amp;postID=3638705355663467579' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5569030259172783406/posts/default/3638705355663467579'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5569030259172783406/posts/default/3638705355663467579'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vivilovesvivi.blogspot.com/2007_07_04_archive.html#3638705355663467579' title='It happens in everyone&apos;s life..(article by vivekMannil)'/><author><name>vivilovesvivi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08308062646168595984</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569030259172783406.post-2435510291915925985</id><published>2007-06-06T19:53:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-08-02T21:42:08.923-07:00</updated><title type='text'>REALISE WHO IS GOD...(article by vivekmannil)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Are you capable enough to behave equally with everyone? For example you are treating your mother in one way and treating your friend in different way. As you are so much emotionally involved with your mother you are showing more love to her. Your friends came half way so you gave him less precedence. The importance you give to your neighbor is different. May be you are acting very friendly to them but I am not talking about your friendly character. I am talking about your love feelings to every one. It varies according to the people. I am sure you agree this with me. Because you all know that very well and you are feeling it every second of your life. Most of the people don't care about other's who don't have any relation with them. May be you would be wondering why it's so common then and why am I telling this. There is one reason why I am telling this. People worship god only for their personal benefits or to any beloved ones benefit. There are very few people who pray for everyone in this world. We are praying to god because of the belief that everyone is equal in front of him. It's true that everyone is equal in front of God. The funniest thing is we are not ready to see everyone equally. And you expect god to listen to us. God is considered as symbol of love and belief. None of us follow his way or is ready to follow his way in this world. I am not telling you this because I think that I am matured enough. I am just 23-year-old guy. But I am just trying to share my thoughts with you all. After reading my article some people commented that they think I am not matured enough to discuss life issues.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Back to our topic, now days you can see lots of people dieing because of heart failure and blood pressure. The person exceeds the limit of tension his/her heart can hold. The heart is an amazing organ that god created in a human body which act like a battery. If you don't care of that properly you will lose your entire life. It's just because of heart is beating we are able to do everything.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You know the basic reason the people have heart failure. The main reasons are commitment to certain relationships, regretting in their life after doing so many bad things. We all know we are doing wrong every day. Due to this reasons we will feel tensed. If you have no fear that you are doing right things then this problem won't arise. You know after doing every bad thing people will go and pray to god. Every time when you pray to god and you will tell yourself that you won repeat the mistake again. But always we repeat the same thing. You know why because we are not ready to control our self. God send us to this world with lot of power and we are not using it in a proper way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Suppose we are drowning under water and we cannot breathe, the only thing in our mind is to get some air rite. I am sure that you don't feel like getting anything else at that time. Like the same way if we think that our only intention, our only aim to be in this world is to love each other. You can succeed in your thoughts and your wishes. Do the right thing. It's the same way we have to pray to god. If you don't pray from your deep heart you won't feel the satisfaction in praying and he won't listen to you. It is very hard for a person to control his urge to bad and unwanted things in this world. God is free from all this. He has no fear of losing things, no fear of getting defeated, no urge to unwanted things, and no intension of hurting people and I can say he got his power by practicing all this. If you can earn all this power you also can be god. There are people who had succeeded so many things by following god's rules. And we pray and respect them also. I can give some examples Sai baba, Amma and etc. I remember this quotes which I read from a book and I would like to share this with you also&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you begin to dance, and cannot stop, you become a dancer,&lt;br /&gt;When you begin to sing and cannot stop, you become a singer,&lt;br /&gt;When you begin to write, and cannot stop, you become a writer,&lt;br /&gt;When you begin to buy and sell and cannot stop, you become a businessman,&lt;br /&gt;When you begin to construct and cannot stop, you become a construction worker,&lt;br /&gt;When you begin to compose and cannot stop you become a composer,&lt;br /&gt;When you begin to learn and cannot stop you become a scholar,&lt;br /&gt;When you begin to lie and cannot stop you become a liar,&lt;br /&gt;When you begin to create and cannot stop you become an artist,&lt;br /&gt;When you begin to love and cannot stop, you become God.&lt;br /&gt;And than anything you do is divine, for nothing can withstand the glory of God: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;regards&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;vivek mannil&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5569030259172783406-2435510291915925985?l=vivilovesvivi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vivilovesvivi.blogspot.com/feeds/2435510291915925985/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5569030259172783406&amp;postID=2435510291915925985' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5569030259172783406/posts/default/2435510291915925985'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5569030259172783406/posts/default/2435510291915925985'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vivilovesvivi.blogspot.com/2007_06_06_archive.html#2435510291915925985' title='REALISE WHO IS GOD...(article by vivekmannil)'/><author><name>vivilovesvivi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08308062646168595984</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569030259172783406.post-2147176257955459798</id><published>2007-05-31T21:26:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-07-04T22:10:59.944-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Swami Vivekananda's Speech in Chicago</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WELCOME ADDRESS - Chicago, Sept 11, 1893&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sisters and Brothers of America,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;It fills my heart with joy unspeakable to rise in response to the warm and cordial welcome, which you have given us. I thank you in the name of the most ancient order of monks in the world; I thank you in the name of the mother of religions, and I thank you in the name of millions and millions of Hindu people of all classes and sects.&lt;br /&gt;My thanks, also, to some of the speakers on this platform who, referring to the delegates from the Orient, have told you that these men from far-off nations may well claim the honor of bearing to different lands the idea of toleration. I am proud to belong to a religion which has taught the world both tolerance and universal acceptance. We believe not only in universal toleration, but we accept all religions as true. I am proud to belong to a nation, which has sheltered the persecuted, and the refugees of all religions a&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;nd all nations of the earth. I am proud to tell you that we have gathered in our bosom the purest remnant of the Israelites, who came to Southern India&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt; and took refuge with us in the very year in which their holy temple was shattered to pieces by Roman tyranny. I am proud to belong to the religion, which has sheltered and is still fostering the remnant of the grand Zoroastrian nation. I will quote to you, brethren, a few lines from a hymn which I remember to have repeated from my earliest boyhood, which is every day repeated by millions of human beings: "As the different streams having their sources in different paths which men take through different tendencies, various though they appear, crooked or straight, all lead to Thee."&lt;br /&gt;The present convention, which is one of the most august assemblies ever held, is in itself a vindication, a declaration to the world of the wonderful doctrine preached in the Gita: "Whosoever comes to Me, through whatsoever form, I reach him; all men are struggling through paths which in the end lead to me." Sectarianism, bigotry, and its horrible descendant, fanaticism, have long possessed this beautiful earth. They have filled the earth with violence, drenched it often and often with human blood, destroyed civilization and sent whole nations to despair. Had it not been for these horrible demons, human society would be far more advanced than it is now. But their time is come; and I fervently hope that the bell that tolled this morning in honor of this convention may be the death-knell of all fanaticism, of all persecutions with the sword or with the pen, and of all uncharitable feelings between persons wending their way to the same goal.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Took from&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.knowledgebase-script.com/demo/article-169.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;http://www.knowledgebase-script.com/demo/article-169.html&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5569030259172783406-2147176257955459798?l=vivilovesvivi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vivilovesvivi.blogspot.com/feeds/2147176257955459798/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5569030259172783406&amp;postID=2147176257955459798' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5569030259172783406/posts/default/2147176257955459798'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5569030259172783406/posts/default/2147176257955459798'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vivilovesvivi.blogspot.com/2007_05_31_archive.html#2147176257955459798' title='Swami Vivekananda&apos;s Speech in Chicago'/><author><name>vivilovesvivi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08308062646168595984</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569030259172783406.post-7675185274871306583</id><published>2007-05-22T22:10:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-08-02T21:43:40.625-07:00</updated><title type='text'>What if we can fly..(article by vivekmannil)</title><content type='html'>&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;I am sure that atleast once in &lt;?xml:namespace prefix = st1 /&gt;&lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;ur&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt; life you should have thought about the benefits of birds, their skill to balance their body in air. I am sure that the statement, "how nice if I can fly" has crossed your mind atleast once. I'm not very sure about what u have thought but I always wanted to be like birds. Fly around everywhere, go wherever you want. But we all stop thinking about it at one point that is when we don't have wings thus how are we are suppose to fly? How if I say you don't need wings to fly. Hard to believe it right? I know it is, well it is not easy as the way I said just now. Let me explain to you this, as the result of my enthusiastic desire to know how to fly I came to know about this after doing lots of research. We believe our body is just a carrier of our spirit.Ok before that let me ask you this do you believe in spirits? In every religion the concept is almost same about spirits. Once the spirit is out of your body you are considered as a dead person. How if we can control our spirit? Everytime when you are looking at your face in the mirror, you are seeing the reflected image of yourself specifically to say, it is the spirit inside your body looking at you. You don't know how powerful your spirit is. If you believe it or not it's indescribable. Think if you have the power to control your spirit and make use of it properly. Is it possible? Yes it is. &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Lot&lt;/st1:place&gt; of people from different parts of world has reported that they have experience of taking out their own spirits out of their body. This is where flying concept of a human being comes. The phenomenon of taking out your spirit out of your body is called as Astral Projection or OBE (Out of body experiences). Its been done with the help of deep meditation or by continuous practice. It is not done easily. You have to be very cautious while doing this. &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Lot&lt;/st1:place&gt; of people has experienced this when they are into deep dream. Beyond practice belief is the most vital and everything depends on your belief. There are lots of people who believe in god and a many more doesn't. People believe in god says it's because I prayed hard when miracle happens.At the same time, when you ask this to a non believer he will say something else, and that's the way it works. Believe it and try, sure you will succeed.Ok the main advantage of this is if suppose you miss someone and the person is far away, you can fly and go and see that person, you can perfectly say what the person is doing at that particular time. And you can visit your favorite places even it is how far also using this technique. Just imagine what more you can do. It's advisable if you do it before you sleep. You need to be in a quite place and involves lots of concentration. Free your mind from all the disturbances. If we talk about black magic. This is one thing that black magicians actually do to hurt others. I know you won't believe it until you try and be successful in it. You never try you never know. Try and be successful in it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;reguards&lt;br /&gt;vivekmannil&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;?xml:namespace prefix = o /&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5569030259172783406-7675185274871306583?l=vivilovesvivi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vivilovesvivi.blogspot.com/feeds/7675185274871306583/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5569030259172783406&amp;postID=7675185274871306583' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5569030259172783406/posts/default/7675185274871306583'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5569030259172783406/posts/default/7675185274871306583'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vivilovesvivi.blogspot.com/2007_05_22_archive.html#7675185274871306583' title='What if we can fly..(article by vivekmannil)'/><author><name>vivilovesvivi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08308062646168595984</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569030259172783406.post-5961959788031104467</id><published>2007-03-05T04:38:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2007-08-02T21:44:01.405-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Who is the Creator?(article by vivekmannil)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;What do you say when someone asks about how much you know about God? Would you say nothing, something or everything? Have you ever thought about it? Have you ever thought about the origin of God? Have you ever thought about the origin of life? Scientists has discovered many things about evolution of the very first living body to the most dominant living body in this existing world that is human. But when I want to ask you if there is anything beyond science, is there anything that science can't reach?&lt;br /&gt;It has been told that everything happenings in this world is based on certain rules. Human has started trying to change the rules set by someone or we can say rule of nature long time ago. But all the way he never succeeded in it. "The rules of nature, the rules of life" who created all this rules for us?&lt;br /&gt;I believe in myself, I believe in god and I believe in science too. If scientific explanation about creation of life is correct then what god has created? Science says that no energy is simply created but it needs a creator. Who is the creator? Like Swami Vivekananda said creator and creation are two parallel lines, which have no end and joining. Science says certain climatic condition in earth helped the origin of first living cell in this world. But if I ask you who created the climatic condition does science have an answer? Till this moment science has failed in answering my questions.&lt;br /&gt;I always have so many questions in my mind. This proves that there is an existence of power and remains forever. There are many religions and gods, I believe in every religion an every god. I respect their thoughts and culture. They all have proper explanation regards to origin of life.&lt;br /&gt;Let me ask you one thing, I had this doubt in my mind and I cleared it after doing so many researches, and a 12-year kid happened to ask the same question. It's been told that god controls everything in this world and is responsible for every action of human being. Many people do good things and bad things also. If god is responsible for both good and bad, why is he being so partial to some people? Isn't it interesting? I told the kid that it's not because he is partial, but he doesn't want to take full control of our life. When you are about to take a decision you always have 2 questions in your mind, whether you want to do it or not. The decision is yours. It means god wants you to take the decision wants you to decide which is good and bad. That particular moment decides that you are a good person or bad. It means you are only responsible for what you do in this world. You cannot blame god for that. I cleared his doubt.&lt;br /&gt;Are these rules created by god going to end one day or is it going to continue forever? Now if I ask you how much you know about god what do you say nothing, something or everything. Trust me he never let anyone to know about him completely. Without any doubt we can say God is great.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;reguards&lt;br /&gt;vivekmannil&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5569030259172783406-5961959788031104467?l=vivilovesvivi.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vivilovesvivi.blogspot.com/feeds/5961959788031104467/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5569030259172783406&amp;postID=5961959788031104467' title='13 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5569030259172783406/posts/default/5961959788031104467'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5569030259172783406/posts/default/5961959788031104467'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vivilovesvivi.blogspot.com/2007_03_05_archive.html#5961959788031104467' title='Who is the Creator?(article by vivekmannil)'/><author><name>vivilovesvivi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08308062646168595984</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>13</thr:total></entry></feed>
