जीवन उद्देश्श-A poem

अन्जान सफ़र के राही है
कुछ देर के सब हमराही है
कुछ रोकर सफ़र ये तय करते
कुछ हंस कर चलते रह्ते है

कुछ का जीवन सुविधा से भरा
कुछ का जीवन दुविधा से भरा
कुछ सुखमय रथके है राही
कुछ जलते पथपर चलते है

कुछ सुखमें दुख अनुभव करते
कुछ दुखमें भी सुख चुनते है
कुछ को अभिलाषा जग जीते
कुछ हर आशाको तरसते है

जिस क्षण जीवन हमको मिलता
उस क्षण इस पार के राही है
जब काल का पलडा हो भारी
अनजान डगर के राही है

सब देखके भी अनदेखा करें
सब जानके भी अनजाने है
दो हाथ ह्जारों आंस लिये
मदहोश है सब मतवाले है

मेरा हो या तेरा जीवन
सब की इकसी ही कहानी है
पलभर ना हम आराम करें
हर उम्रकी यही रवानी है

तकदीर से ज्यादा ना पाकर
भगवान को हम बदनाम करें
खुदको भगवान बनाकर हम
अपनी किस्मत की कहानी लिखें

धनवान हो या निर्धन कोई
दाता की नजर मे एकसे है
कर्मो से हम बनते रावण
कर्मो से ही हम राम बने

जैसी करनी वैसी भरनी
जो बॊया फल वो पाना है
खाली हाथों से आये है
खाली हाथों से जाना है

गुजरे हुए अखबारों की तरह
अस्तित्व हमारा है प्यारे
बेदर्द ज़माने का दस्तुर
कुडा करकट फौरन त्यागे

अनमोल है तोह्फ़ा जीवनका
उसकॊ बरबाद न कर प्यारे
मरकर भी हमें कोई याद करें
जीवन ये सफ़ल है तब प्यारे

मेरा दिन भी आय़ॆगा-A poem

आशाओंके इन्द्रधनुशका हर रंग लेहेराएगा
खुशीयोंकी बौछार लिये मेरा दिन भी आय़ॆगा

इन बेहेती हवाओंसे उम्मीदकी मेहेक आ रही है
हर गल्ली हर राह भी प्यारसे गुनगुना रही है
अब जीतका तराना मेरा दिल भी गायेगा
खुशीयोंकी बौछार लिये मेरा दिन भी आय़ॆगा

कुछ करनेकी सच्ची धुन अब दिलपे छाई है
अपने आपको आजमानेकी हमने कसम खाई है
मुश्कीलोंका दौर अब फिरसे नही आएगा
खुशीयोंकी बौछार लिये मेरा दिन भी आय़ॆगा

तनहाईकी रात अब खत्म होनेको आई है
उम्मीदका हाथ थामे सुरजकी किरन आई है
कामयाबीकी राहपर हर सपना सजेगा
खुशीयोंकी बौछार लिये मेरा दिन भी आय़ॆगा

IDENTITY-THE KEY TO OUR EXISTENCE

The foundation of our human existence is based on core belief we have about ourselves or who we are. This is called our identity. These beliefs define our individuality that makes us unique in this world. The more we are certain about them the more we create limits within which we live our life. The biggest bearing these beliefs bring is the way we evaluate any thing in our lives. Since we evaluate them within certain framework of our identity, they not just guide us to conclude but teach us how to feel and what action we should take. Sometimes they affect relations and make us decide how to think and feel, derive meaning in anything he or she does. If our belief about his or her love is strong then his or her intentions are never questioned even if he or she is angry. This is just one area of life where belief brings impact to certain extent.

The most important thing about beliefs is they shape our lives. They bring profound influence not only on our capabilities to do any thing but our beliefs to filter perceptions of all kind. They directly control consistency of our decisions of life. They control our physical, emotional and mental destiny. What is function of our capabilities? It is to define what we can do and what we cannot do. These beliefs again define who we are and who we are not. We not only look upon ourselves what we are capable of but also look upon what we are not capable of. This capability is constant in each individual but some use more and some use less depending upon their identity about themselves. The children show dramatic change in their performance if they are convinced that they are gifted.Also it is important to change the capabilities in order to grow and expand in life for that these children have to challenge themselves. It does not need much intelligence. Only they require is the sense of certainty that they are superiors.

Also perceptions affect the behavior like beliefs. If we carry perception about a person, these perceptions generate appropriate response for that person. It does not matter whether our perception are true or not. However whatever response is generated, it is always consistent with the perception or view. If our perception is declared publicly, we experience intense pressure to remain consistent with those views.

Beliefs can work negatively as there are people who believe that it is next to impossible to change ourselves. It is not true. If a person is addicted to any kind of drug, it is only due to belief that he carries that he is addicted to drug. Even if he leaves those habits of drug, he returns back to his habit thinking this is his true identity forgetting conveniently that taking drug is his conscious decision. When this person develops conviction that he is drug free, that is when his behavior changes to support his new identity. The lasting change would come only when he does this with sense of certainty. This shift in identity causes shift in entire belief system which includes shift in system of evaluation, the values that guide his action and the references that organize into beliefs.

If we repeatedly attempt to make particular change but continually fall short, then that is because we are creating emotional shift which is inconsistent with our belief “who we are”. Identities are formed due to long held beliefs and values. If we understand how we arrive at our present identity and how we can expand this identity then we can instantaneously change our identity in a matter of moment. We generally identify people by their action. Also we look upon ourselves as what we do to determine who we are. The more we do certain thing, the more we identify ourselves with our act. The more we make statement we believe, the more we willingly back it up. This consistent behavior helps form our identity. This way we can shift our identity. The identity of person does not get limited due to limited experiences of life. It gets limited due to interpretations of these experiences. These interpretations help us to decide who we are. We fuse ourselves with decisions we make for ourselves. This fusion creates label for us. The way we define our identity, it defines our life.
