The best way to know the self is feeling oneself at the moments of reckoning. The feeling of being alone, just with your senses, may lead you to think more consciously. More and more of such moments may sensitize ‘you towards you’, towards others. We become regular with introspection and retrospection. We get ‘the’ gradual connect to the higher self we may name Spirituality or God or just a Humane Conscious. We tend to get a rhythm again in life. We need to learn the art of being lonely in crowd while being part of the crowd. A multitude of loneliness in mosaic of relations! One needs to feel it severally, with conscience, before making it a way of life. One needs to live several such lonely moments. One needs to live severallyalone.

MOTHER’S WORDS: DO GOOD ANYWAY!!

I saw it first on a post by one group fellow on the Internet Writers Guild. Here, I have taken it from a blog which, in turn' took it from somewhere else. There are different versions of this beautiful prose available including the one that is considered original and credited to Mother Teresa. It has shown me light during many odd moments.

 

In a certain slope of Himalayan Mountain, where Holy Mountain meets holy person, there is a coffee shop that provide simple lunch. In the wall, the owner hangs a beautiful message like this: 

 

"People are often unreasonable and illogical. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, they may accuse you of ulterior motive. Be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway. If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway. What you spend  years building, someone could destroy overnight. Build anyway. If you find happiness and serenity, they might be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow. Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, it may never be enough. Give the world the best you have anyway. You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway".
