Open your eyes to the Inner Self!!

I have always marvelled at  why we Humans Close eyes upon certain incidences, namely:

1) That slow Breeze Brushing your face gently
2) Smell of Mud...thanks to the first showers of rain!!
3) When you feel the soft skin of Baby against your cheeks!!
4) Smelling a Flower...or a real good perfume!!
5) Remember..that aroma of your favourite Dish...Hmmm..Yummy!!
6) While Kissing...
7) Praying to the Almighty..!!
8) Confessing..?? Asking for Forgiveness??
9) In extreme Pain too...a wound or Burn...Ouch!!
10) Weeping...Sob...Sob!!
11) Feeling Shy..(Ladies are gonna relate to this the most..won't ya ladies??)
12) When all of a sudden some good old music or long lost tune hits your ear and then your soul..:-)
13) When you Hug somebody...well..I mean somebody real 'special'... ;-)
14) When you are thinking hard for an answer...!!

An Explanation to all this from my point of view is that...May be..Closing your eyes to the outer world opens windows to your inner self...wherein the Almighty resides...All of the above are special or difficult moments of a Human's Life and deserves to be shared with the Lord who resides in You...sometimes to Thank him and sometimes to seek his Help!! Looking outside, you dream. Looking inside,you awaken. Eyes provide sight. Mind provides insight. Wot say??!! :-)

(Note: This article was suppose to end here but, a Friend of mine came with a 15th point..He said, "I know one more..When you Sneeze you close your eyes...Do we need God then too...Wot Say??!!" He asked me with a wicked smile...
"Surely we do, It is a well proven fact that whenever you sneeze, 2 to 3 of your Brain cells die..now, thats a Big loss...isn't it?? ...That's one reason why we wish the sneezer 'God Bless You...You'll surely remember God that time!!' "

Give me a HIGH FIVE!!

I've always wondered at some magical numbers we have on Earth...like 5, 7, 9!! Amongst them 5 and 7 fascinate me a lot! I have a spiritual liking for 5 and a romantic one for 7!!

5 reminds me of Panch Dhatu (5 metals), Panch Amrit (Sugar, Honey, Curd, Milk and Ghee), 5 sensory organs and above all 5 elements of Life and 'the' word BHAGWAAN!! How??!! Well...
Lets get to the basics of how word Bhagwaan was derived:

BHA - Bhoomi (Earth)
GA - Gagan (Sky)
VA - Vaayu (Air)
AA - Agni (Fire)
NA - Nir (Water)

Our Body is made of these 5 elements and in turn are related to our 5 sensory organs!! 
Sky to Sound (Ears)
Water to Taste (Tongue)
Air to Touch (Skin)
Fire to Sight (Eyes)
Earth to Smell (Nose)

But, apart from these, I have a complete different interpretation. Lets see my Version of it:

Sky = The Almighty who is the beginning and end!
Earth = Parents (This is the place where a seed (me) was allowed to germinate and this is where my roots lie to give me strength)
Fire = Gurus (All the reverend teachers in my life who gave me the light of knowledge and vision)
Water = Changes in Life (Like Water, changes keep on flowing in and out of Life)
Air = Friends (who are always around for my good)

Don't they deserve a Five Star Rating? LOL..
