12-dec-2008 (time when i was deeply engrossed in work n dinn hv time fr myslf evn. On this particular day I realized the true meaning of life while writing this page. Hope it would prove beneficial for several others like it did fr me.)
What am I? A human being made up of electrons or protons or a mind, body and soul. If I am soul, why am i not aware of my true self and my true needs? Why I derive pleasure out of materialistic possessions - money, power and gadgets? Why can't be i happy with nature's gift - with a song of chirping bird, whistling winds, falling leaves, flowing water.... If i am soul why i derive pleasure out of my possessions? why i need money ,which can't even purchase me peace n happiness? Can't i be happy with being just what i "actually" am- a far more complex being - "THE SOUL". i seek to know my True Identity , my True Self. I would like to spread just love and pleasure around me not by spending few pieces of paper called money. i want to derive pleasure out of smiles and happiness of my loved ones and people , known or unknown, around me rather than by owning big car, posh villas, high-tech cellphones etcetera... I want to be what I was before I entered this world, what i actually was in my mother's womb. Oh almighty god, who resides within us, please strengthen me to overcome this craving for materialistic possessions and help me in deriving pleasure from sweet nothings of life. I know, my dear lord, that a simple life in some secluded part of the hill is much more peaceful and happier than hustle bustle of town and rat race after money and power. Give me strength to lead a purposeful life rather than a luxurious life devoid of any motive.I know you reside in nature, in every living and non living thing, bring me close to you by bringing me close to nature.
Love you dear lord!!!
Seriously friends, after writing this page i read it and realized - "Yes, this what is missing in my life." Since then I am able to balance my life. Money is surely important but it's not everything in life. Now, I know what are priorities of my life and along with earning money and coming up to my job commitments I am enjoying life to the optimum.
P.S. - Don't forget your true self in the mad race after money and power....
Love...

great diary entry ,,, now i sumhow realise tat its evn applicable on me,,, seriously a great one.....
:) glad u learnt sumthing frm it as i did...
money is one of the essentials for living but not the D one...u need it to fill in your daily needs and the desire to own few big things.but it does not guarantee you a happiness to you or your loved ones. you can gift some one a very precious ring , tag huer watch, or BMW car but what in the end matters is the need of the other person..what if he/she wants you rather than gifts...its there money power loose its shin to power of soul, power of love and power of touch..
Nice one !!
