spring!

spring.... bringing a riot of colours by the side of the lake. the blue water dazzles with the orange and yellowish glow. the clear sky smiles with streaks of clouds!

expressions!-6 -the Mystic

amid the mystic waves of smoke I see the universe hazy, but still I feel its strength, to create and destroy.....I smile for the creatures...living or dead....I wonder what's there in the hollowness of the empty space...I cry for the deprived....for the children of God...not so equal as others! I hate the barbaric attitude of demonic human beings!!!!
Still I smile...since there is hope!!!!!

expressions! 5

This is a sketch which I made while 
I was trying to discover various brushes available in the software...it was haphazard...absolutely unplanned .... the outcome! This is the real fun!

"In this external world, which is full of finite things, it is impossible to see and find the Infinite. The Infinite must be sought in that alone which is infinite, and the only thing infinite about us is that which is within us, our own soul. Neither the body, nor the mind, nor even our thoughts, nor the world we see around us, is infinite."    ---- Swami Vivekanand

"Look here—we shall die! Bear this in mind always, and then the spirit within will wake up. Then meanness will vanish from you, practicality in work will come, you will get new vigor in mind and body, and those who come in contact with you will also feel that they have really got something uplifting from you."   ----- Swami Vivekanand

"We are what our thoughts have made us; so take care about what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live; they travel far."

                                            === Swami Vivekananda

Eye!

What is there in a eye? a stare, a glare, thousands of expressions that reflects the mind!!!!

beautiful world !

we add to this beautiful world! save us!!
"Nature grinds all of us. Keep count of the ounce of pleasure you get. In the long run, nature did her work through you, and when you die your body will make other plants grow. Yet we think all the time that we are getting pleasure ourselves. Thus the wheel goes round."   --- Swami Vivekananda

Tiled Convention

"Stand up, be bold, and take the blame on your own shoulders. Do not go about throwing mud at others; for all the faults you suffer from, you are the sole and only cause.

Stand up, be bold, be strong. Take the whole responsibility on your own shoulders, and know that you are the creator of your own destiny. All the strength and succor you want is within yourselves. Therefore, make your own future."                                                      ----- Swami Vivekananda

Chaotic Greenfields!

“A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.” 
― Albert Einstein

“This life is yours. Take the power to choose what you want to do and do it well. Take the power to love what you want in life and love it honestly. Take the power to walk in the forest and be a part of nature. Take the power to control your own life. No one else can do it for you. Take the power to make your life happy.”                                                                                                                                          ― Susan Polis Schutz

“The whole secret of existence is to have no fear. Never fear what will become of you, depend on no one. Only the moment you reject all help are you free. The full sponge can absorb no more.”--- Swami Vivekanand

lost in the chaos....melted away! you won't find even if you chase!

"It is our own mental attitude which makes the world what it is for us. Our thought make things beautiful, our thoughts make things ugly. The whole world is in our own minds. Learn to see things in the proper light. First, believe in this world, that there is meaning behind everything. Everything in the world is good, is holy and beautiful. If you see something evil, think that you do not understand it in the right light. Throw the burden on yourselves!"   ----- Swami Vivekananda  

In Unison 2

where do we come from? where do we go? what do we do in our lives? together we build and destroy!

“Advance, forward, O ye brave souls, to set free those that are in fetters, to lessen the burden of woe of the miserable, and to illumine the abysmal darkness of ignorant hearts!”
                                                                           ----- Swami Vivekannda

Come out into the universe of Light. Everything in the universe is yours, stretch out your arms and embrace it with love. If you every felt you wanted to do that, you have felt God. ----- Swami Vivekananda

"If you think that you are bound, you remain bound; you make your own bondage. If you know that you are free, you are free this moment. This is knowledge, knowledge of freedom. Freedom is the goal of all nature."
------- Swami Vivekananda

“There cannot be any progress without the whole world following in the wake, and it is becoming every day dearer that the solution of any problem can never be attained on racial, or national, or narrow grounds. Every idea has to become broad till it covers the whole of this world, every aspiration must go on increasing till it has engulfed the whole of humanity, nay, the whole of life, within its scope.”--------Swami Vivekananda

"Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend."

                                                                                              -- Albert Camus

"All love is expansion, all selfishness is contraction. Love is therefore the only law of life. He who loves lives, he who is selfish is dying. Therefore love for love’s sake, because it is law of life, just as you breathe to live."                                                                      ---Swami Vivekananda
