Who am I ? मैं कौन ?










“…to encourage that sharing is the only commodity by which everything multiplies while dividing with others. Therefore, we should share this planet together with all other living beings. And if we are on this earth to live in peace - it will be together or not at all.” Soham Baba

Dear Laughing Trees,
Today I share with you some thoughts from Soham Baba, Swami Sudeepananda Giriji. What follows are the words from him that helped me look at every new day as the first day of my life...

" I am born not to tell the story of the Almighty,
His omnipresence, His omnipotence...
I am here neither to teach a dogma nor to hand over a philosophy,
People are dying on Earth for a kiss of His lips
at the moment of the misery in their life.

I am here to stand next to them to be strong together
especially when they feel lost.
I am born to be present everywhere to offer my Niscam Seva:
selfless service to the humanity.
My mission is not religion but realisation.

Wish to whisper into ears that the biggest obstacle in our life
is not our ignorance but the fear of recognizing
the enormous strength and wisdom within us.

I pray to the almighty:" I care neither for my bondage nor for my
liberation. Place me in the Hell or in the Heaven as it pleases You,
but before this, grant me another thousand incarnations to be born
again and again among the millions of hearts, to serve the suffering
mankind - the "God" that I worship, the "God" I believe in."

I see my Almighty in the forgotten, the poor, the ill, the depressed, the
disturbed, the helpless and the lost. Neglecting these manifestations
of the Divinity, how can I worship the clay statue of "Him"?

May be criticised and named a stranger or a stupid one,
May not be recognised, may not be remembered either....

Yet, such a person I am happy to be!
