What matters?

I have been inclined to think since morning today that what actually matters?  I had some communication with my parents in the morning today and I was a bit shocked listening to a few sentences.  It really matters for me what my parents think about me and it really hurts when I come to know that their thinking is not the right one.

I know this is a wrong perception.  All it should matter is what I think about myself.  I know being selfish and self-centered are two different things.  But right now, I am really hurt.

Looking at the lack of confidence of my parents in me and their doubtful thinking about my future has really hurt me.

God.. I need the best out of this situation.  Please.. please.. please.. there has to be some way out!

Close to Perfect Day!

I am really happy for the beginning of this day.  The day is a sort of perfect or say "my ideal" day.

I had proper sleep, meditation, exercise, breakfast and still a lot of time!!  I love myself when I am capable of managing like this.

I would wish I can manage future days happily too.

I am not sure what is coming up for the rest of the day.  But looking at the beginning, it sure sounds wonderful!

Wisdom and Intelligence triumph over Fear and Doubt

This is one of the statements that I had in my I-Ching today.

When wisdom and intelligence triumph over fear and doubt then danger is avoided and the situation will resume powerful development. Let this be a lesson (I-Ching)

I found this particular statement relate me the best in t his situation and so I posted this as my status on Facebook.  The sentence has made me think so much that I have started writing a post on this too.

I have experienced this triumph lately and believe me this is just a great feeling.  Something that really makes you on top of the situation and just calm.  There is a lot of chaos and uncertainty around  me at the moment.  I can see people troubled because of various reasons (some of them blamed on me too!).  But for me, at the moment, there is no trouble because of this victory.

I wish everybody gets a chance to experience this at least once in their lives.

SufiSpot - Sufism, Spirituality and Personal Struggles: My Dear Friend

I just loved the post.  I am copying and pasting it here.

“In Persian, there are four levels of friendship each relating to a degree in closeness and intimacy: Aashenaa (to know someone casually), Doost (a close friend), Rafeegh (your best friend) and Yaar (your inseparable lover). However, these levels are independent of the type of physical connection you have with someone. These degrees of closeness explain your deep soul connection with another being; your spouse, therefore, may only be your Aashenaa, or you may have a perfect platonic relationship with a Yaar. Some mystics measure their intimacy with God and the Beloved by using these levels.

My dear friend
never lose hope
when the Beloved
sends you away.

If you're abandoned
if you're left hopeless
tomorrow for sure
you'll be called again.

If the door is shut
right in your face
keep waiting with patience
don't leave right away.

Seeing your patience
your love will soon
summon you with grace
raise you like a champion.

And if all the roads
end up in dead ends
you'll be shown the secret paths
no one will comprehend.

The beloved I know
will give with no qualms
to a puny ant
the kingdom of Solomon.

My heart has journeyed
many times around the world
but has never found
and will never find
such a Beloved again.

ah I better keep silence
I know this endless love
will surely arrive
for you and you and you

What draws friends together
does not conform to Laws of Nature.
Form doesn't know about spiritual closeness.
If a grain of barley approaches a grain of wheat,
an ant must be carrying it. A black ant on black felt.
You can't see it, but if grains go toward each other,
it's there.

A hand shifts our birdcages around.
Some are brought closer. Some move apart.
Do not try to reason it out. Be conscious
of who draws you and who not.

Leaving Behind

Things are not always to leave behind, especially the ones that really matter to you.  Things that I am mentioning here include feelings, possessions, attachments, relationships, habits and much more that we normally get attached to.

Friendship is the attachment that I am in the process of leaving behind currently and believe me it has been the most painful process till date for me.  I am almost done with it, but the experience was not good.  I would never want anybody else to go through it.

I will not mention any details here, but I do not want to forget the friendship and its leaving behind so I put up this post.  I googled up a few images that I can relate with the relationship, here they are.
