A love story

Repeated One

Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others including Love. One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all repaired their boats and left.

Love wanted to persevere until the last possible moment. When the island was almost sinking, Love decided to ask for help. Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said, "Richness, can you take me with you?" Richness answered, "No, I can't. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you."

Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel, "Vanity, please help me!" "I can't help you Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat." Vanity answered.

Sadness was close by so Love asked for help, "Sadness, let me go with you." "Oh....Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!"

Happiness passed by Love too, but he was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her!

Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come Love, I will take you." It was an elder. Love felt so blessed and overjoyed that he even forgot to ask the elder his name. When they arrived at dry land, the elder went his own way.

Love realizing how much he owed the elder and asked Knowledge, another elder, "Who helped me?" "It was Time," Knowledge answered. "Time?" asked Love. "But why did Time help me?" Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered, "Because, only Time is capable of understanding how great Love is."

Express URself

There are times when we are timid and shy about expressing the love we feel. For fear of embarrassing the other person, or ourselves, we hesitate to say the actual words "I love you."

So we try to communicate the idea in other words.

We say 'take care' or 'don't drive too fast' or 'be good.' But really,these are just other ways of saying 'I love you, 'you are important to me,' 'I care what happens to you,' 'I don't want you to get hurt.' We are sometimes very strange people. The only thing we want to say,and the one thing that we should say, is the one thing we don't say.

And yet, because the feeling is so real, and the need to say it is so strong, we are driven to use other words and signs to say what we really mean. And many times the meaning never gets communicated at all and the other person is left feeling unloved and unwanted.

Therefore, we have to LISTEN FOR LOVE in the words that people are saying to us. Sometimes the explicit words are necessary, but more often, the manner of saying things is even more important.

A joyous insult carries more affection and love within the timents which are expressed insincerely. An impulsive hug says I LOVE U even though the words might be saying very different.

Any expression of a person's concern for another says I love you. Sometimes the expression is clumsy, sometimes even cruel.Sometimes we must look and listen very intently for the love that contains.But it is often there, beneath the surface.

A mother may nag her son constantly about his grades or cleaning his room. The son may hear only the nagging, but if he listens carefully,he will hear the love underneath the nagging. His mother wants him to do well, to be successful. Her concern and love for her son unfortunately emerge in her nagging. But it is love all the same.

A daughter comes home late, way past her curfew, and her father confronts her with angry words. The daughter may hear only the anger,but if she listens carefully, she will hear the love under the anger. "I was worried about you," the father is saying. 'Because I care about you and I love you.

You are important to me. We say I love you in many ways-with birthday gifts, and little notes, with smiles and sometimes with tears. Sometimes we show our love by just keeping quiet and not saying a word, at other times by speaking out, even brusquely. We show our love sometimes by impulsiveness.

Many times we have to show our love by forgiving someone who has not listened to the love we have tried to express. The problem is listening for love is that we don't always understand the language oflove which the other person is using. A girl may use tears or emotions to say what she wants to say,and her boyfriend may not understand her because he expects her to be talking his language. Thus, we have to force ourselves to really listen for love.

The problem with our world is that people rarely listen to each other.They hear the words, but they don't listen to the actions that accompany the words or the expression on the face. Or people listen only for rejection or misunderstanding. They do not see the love that is there just beneath the surface, even if the words are angry. We have to listen for love in those around us. If we listen intently we will discover that we are a lot more loved than we realize. Listen for love and we will find that the world is a very loving place after all.

LOVE is a happy thing. It makes us laugh. It makes us sing. It makes us sad. It makes us cry. It makes us seek the reason why.

It makes us take. It makes us give.

Above all else it makes us LIVE.

It is not the presence or absence of people that makes the difference because a person need not be lonely even if he is alone.Sometimes it is good to be alone. But that does not make us lonely. It is not a matter of being present WITH someone. It is a matter of being present TO someone. So remember...

If you love someone, tell them. Remember always to say what you mean.Never be afraid to express yourself. Take this opportunity to tell someone what they mean to you. Seize the day and have no regrets. Most importantly, stay close to your friends and family,for they have helped make you the person that you are today and are what it's all about anyway. Pass this along to your friends. Let it make a difference in your day and theirs. The difference between expressing love and having regrets is that the regrets may stay around.

I want to know does Sikhism allowed the preching of Saint Valantine or not. If not then why .....

Respect Women Coz

It takes thousands of workes to build a castle zone,

It takes millions of soldiers to protect Rome,

But just one women to make Happy Home.

My Thirteen Reasons for Sikhism

by Jaswinder Singh

In the paper "Why Sikhism"? I discussed my personal

experiences in how I had dealt with issues in my life.

I focused on myself as a child and as an adult, and

the primary conflicts that Sikhs face during these

periods of their life. Acceptance as a child and as an

adult, but love playing a greater role in our lives as

adults. My focus was to highlight how Sikhs living in

a western society have to deal with problematic

issues, where certain western values don't blend with

Sikh religious principles. I also brought up the point

that I was "lucky" to know of the Sikh religion, which

helped guide my decisions, but unfortunately many of

today's young grow up ignorant to what Sikhism is.

Below I have listed 13 points why I think Sikhism is

the best religion in the world, and what it has to

offer to Sikhs and to the World, and why Sikhs should

not abandon their faith, but strive harder to

understand it, learn about it, and they will realize

once they do, that it is worth keeping, holding on

> to, prizing in our hearts

>

>and souls.

>

>1. Sikhism does not look down upon people who follow

other religions as "inferior, non-believer, etc". That

is one reason why you don't see Sikh Missionaries

actively pursuing conversions.

>

>2. Sikhism is a religion of Equality. Equality

between Men and Women and also stressing "universal

equality" amongst all human beings. Which all other

religions do not have.

>

>3. Sikhism is a modern way of life, it doesn't

subject people to valueless rituals. A few examples

being the caste system, bathing in holy rivers, facing

a certain direction for a prayer, slaughtering animals

in the name of God, circumcision. (NOTE: I'm talking

of Sikhism, not cultural practices.. which at times

are not up to date with the teachings of the religion,

as can be seen in all religions))

>

>4. Sikhism, is a religion of worship of One God. A

God that has no 'chosen people', a God compassionate

to all, God not bonded to a "single religion", God to

be found and realized by all, God that is not pleased

with ritualistic behavior, a God that is only pleased

by "ANYONE" who with true devotion LOVES HIM, yes a

God for all the UNIVERSE.. not of Jews, Sikh, Hindus,

Muslims,etc. God himself spoke to Guru Nanak Dev Ji

the founder of Sikhism on the "Day of Revelation",

when Guru Nanak Dev Ji was called to God' home and

given his directives to preach to this world. God

spoke the following verse on this most blessed day to

Guru Nanak Dev Ji and the entire world. Known as the

Mul Mantra. The very first verse written in the Guru

Granth Sahib Ji (the Sikh scripture) and found at many

other places before other hymns in the Guru Granth

Sahib Ji. Ik Onkar (God is One) Sat Nam ( His name is

True) Kartaa Purakh (He is the Creator) Nirbhau (He is

without fear) Nirvair (He is inimical to none)

> Akal-murat (He never di

>

>es) Ajooni (He is beyond births and deaths) Saibhang

( He is self illuminated) Gurprasaad (He is realized

by the kindness of the True Guru) Jap (Repeat His

Name) And in God's court Guru Nanak spoke the

following, which God accepted and condoned, and comes

write after "Jap". Aad sach (He is True in the

beginning, (before the anything (universe) existed)

Jugaad sach (He was True when the ages commenced and

has ever been True) Hai bhi sach (He is also True now)

Nanak hosi bhi sach. ((Satguru) Nanak (says that) he

will be certainly True in the future.)

>

>5. Sikhism believes in reincarnation. As the worldly

science is improving and people are starting to

realize this phenomenon is true (through hypnosis and

near-death experiences) they will understand the

"Greater Glory" in the Sikh scriptures to have

realized this concept while others don't believe in it

at all. (Note: Only Hinduism and Bhudism share these

values of reincarnation, and many Christians are

starting to believe it, and though Muslims rejects

this notion, I believe many believe of it as well.)

>

>6. Sikhism stresses that God judges all people as to

their actions in this world. It does not matter what

religion he practices, or was born to. Hence the

theory of Karma is also a part of Sikh religion. The

ultimate reward in Sikhism is to be freed from the

PAINS of 'births and deaths' that Humans undergo.

Reflect for a few minutes, and think of how much do we

as people suffer in life? We suffer a tremendous

amount! The older you are the more you will know of

it. Unlike other religions, which offer a heavenly

paradise, where one is rewarded with Virgins (only for

the males as one scripture has it) and rivers of wine

(which ironically is not sanctioned for one to drink

here on this earth). Sikhism rewards people with the

concept of becoming "one with God". Where the soul is

emersed back into the Godly soul, like a raindrop is

emersed into the ocean and hence find ever lasting

bliss. (Never to be reborn again)! This is for both

MALE and FEMALE. No sexism is in the scripture. I

> challenge all to have a look for themselves, and

they will be happily surprised that a religion born

500 years ago, has accepted the equality of sexes as

well as people, which not even today's western society

has, nor any other religion has. This is just one

reason why I adore the Sikh religion. Men and Women

are Equal in all respect.

>

>7. In Sikhism, Men and Women are able to carry out

prayer rights. There is no priest class, unlike other

religions, which is controlled by men. Hence again

women are equal partners in Sikhism. Sikhism is a very

egalitarian religion.

>

>8. "Sikhism is an intellectual way of life"! Sikhs

are told very strongly, explicitly, to seek knowledge

within the Guru Granth Sahib Ji. Knowledge is the

"key" to enlightenment. One must understand the Guru's

written words in the Sri Guru Granth Sahib, in order

to help themselves transcend this worldly ocean and

reach the higher spiritual goals given to Humankind by

God. The challenge of being a Sikh is truly a hard

one, the majority of the world of today have not the

courage in them, nor the will power, nor are the

willingness to spend time to pursue this

"intellectual" and "spiritual" journey and achieve

that ultimate state of ETERNAL BLISS. People not

wanting to face this challenge, since it is a

difficult one, a long one, is why people are unaware

of the greatness of their Sikh religion. They continue

to play in this world (metaphorically speaking) in the

pursuit of trying to find happiness, yet never achieve

it. Happiness is only temporary. It is eternal bliss

(Anand) that we

> want, which the Guru guides us on how to achieve,

in the Guru Granth Sahib Ji. Happiness (Bliss) can not

be bought with riches, etc. Happiness is a state of

mind. Bliss is the state of being one with our mind,

soul, and heart. One can only find it by being able to

control (cleansing) the mind, which Sikhism stresses

one to do, with God' Naam (Name. Then only will one

achieve true lasting happiness (bliss) within

ourselves. I challenge the readers to spend some time,

to read up on the lives of Sikh Gurus, read the Sikh

scripture, along with the other religions open

mindedly, and Sikhism will pass as the most objective,

logical, equal, humanitarian religion. A good place to

start is Sandeep Singh's WWW home page.The Sikhism

Home Page: http://www.sikhs.org/

>

>9. Sikhism is a religion which builds character. It

tells its followers to be "hard workers" to earn their

daily bread. To share this with others, as well as to

remember the Lord in their heart. Hence within

Sikhism, there is a compassion towards all of

humanity, a fact of social reform.

>

>10. Sikhism is the only religion that allows all

people, of any caste, colour, creed, religion to come

to "ANY"! of their holy places, without restriction,

and be given equal respect in all matters. They are

served in the Gurdwara (Sikhs holy temple), in the

kitchen with the same dignity as if they were Sikhs.

They are allowed to participate in Singing Hymns on

stage even if they are not Sikhs. They are allowed to

read the Guru Granth Sahib Ji (if they know how to

read Gurmukhi Script) even if they are not Sikhs. They

are allowed to discuss Sikhism in these places of

worship even if they are not Sikhs. "A very good

example comes to mind is Bhai Chaman Lal even though

he is a Hindu. He sings Gurbani hymns all over in

Gurdwaras and tells wonderful stories of the Gurus.

Sikhs respect and give him equal dignity, even though

he is not a Sikh." I personally love his singing and

his stories. He's more of a Sikh than I am. Hence one

does not have to even change religion, to follow Sikh

> practices and sing the Glories of God using Sikh

scripture and that truly is the greatness of Sikhism.

>

>11. Sikhism allows one to follow the path to

enlightenment, at their own speed. This enlightenment

comes with their own understanding and awareness of

the message in the Guru Granth Sahib Ji and how much

effort they have given to incorporate it in their

lives. Sikhism allows people to interpret the Guru

Granth Sahib for themselves (unlike other religions)

and with increasing awareness and understanding, the

person will gain greater (deeper) understanding of the

"divine" words of the Gurus, who were in direct

communication with God and wrote what God told them in

the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.

>

>12. Sikhism is the only religion where the Scripture

is written by the Prophet of the religion who was in

divine communication with God, out of all the other

worldly religions whose scriptures were written later

by people.

>

>13. Sikhism is the only religion that has in its

Scripture, Hymns of Divine saints who had attained

that state of perfection and communion with God in

life. Be them Muslim or Hindu (from every caste).

Hence Sikhism is truly a religion that has broken down

barriers between religions, to show the world that,

"anyone" can reach God by immersing themselves in His

love. That is why Hindu and Muslim saints divine hymns

from God are also recorded in Guru Granth Sahib Ji.

Sikh Gurus are not only honoring the achievement of

these Saints throughout time, but are sending a

message to the world. Sikhism is not the property of

those who are born in Punjab or to Sikh families. It

is a religion for all of humanity, men and women, be

them of any caste, creed or colour and be them born to

any religion in the world. Sikhism is for all of

humanity, let us not forget the entire universe.

did i say i wanted to get credit for it?

Hey friends please dont mess up. We are here

for something good it dosnt matter from where it comes.

Check wheather it is upto our requirements or not..

Sufficient..

Oh Yeah Paji It was on the wrong way anyway forget it....I have a old story of true love

Old story of true love

A girl and a boy were on a motorcycle, speeding

through the night. They

loved each other a lot..

Girl: "slow down a little.. I'm scared.."

Boy: "No, it's so fun.."

Girl: "please..it's so scary.."

Boy: "Then say that you love me.."

Girl: "Fine..I love you..can you slow down now?"

Boy: "Give me a big hug.."

The girl gave him a big hug.

Girl: "Now can you slow down?"

Boy: "Can you take off my helmet and put it on?

It's uncomfortable and it's bothering me while i drive."

The next day, there was a story in the newspaper.

A motorcycle had crashed into a building because its brakes were broken.

There were two people on the motorcycle, of which one died, and the other

had

survived...

The guy knew that the brakes were broken. He

didn't want to let the girl know, because he knew that the girl would have

gotten scared.Instead, he was told the last time that she loved

him, got a hug from her,put his helmet on her so that she can live, and

die himself...

Once in a while, Right in the middle of an

ordinary life, Love gives us a

fairy tale...

You may have the loftiest goals, the highest ideals, the noblest dreams, but remember this, nothing works unless you do.

Nido Qubein Business consultant and author

Q: A little girl asked her father, "Daddy? Do all fairy tales begin with 'Once Upon A Time'?"

A: He replied, "No, there is a whole series of fairy tales that begin with 'If elected I promise'."
