WISE QUOTES


15 Rhapsodies Of Oswald



  •  Your interaction with every second is what defines your tommorow .
  • We are all kings in our own little ways and every mans home is his castle.
  • We see clearly when we stand on the shoulders of great men. 
  • What definition have you given your tommorow today?
  • I will not say do not weep for not all tears are sorrowful.
  • The true age of man is not measured by the years in his life but by the life in his years. 
  • give me meat and i will be grateful. teach me how to hunt and i would forever be indebted
  • what challenge is there in life if we easily get all we desire? 
  • A day may come when the courage of men fails but it is not this day. Today we fight even if it doesen't lead to victory .
  • And I heard the old prophets say  "a little more, a little more, the peak of success is just a step away"
  • We are what we think .
  • If you can dream , you can make it..
  • Our limitations exists only in our thoughts.
  • TIme wasted cannot be regained but  the moment can always be redeemed.
  • Is it necessary to set up a university in order to acquire the ability to recognize the conception of Godhead?

MIRACLE BABY'S POEM

I was a traveler on a universal  voyage.

I boarded the voyage traveling from heaven to earth because I was told there were many green fields on the planet

I was told that the view of their sunrise and sunset were breathtaking.

I was told that nature there was the home of peace.

I was told the planet had beautiful water falls.

I was told that I would have a large family with a mother , a father, brothers, sisters, cousins, nieces and grandparents.

I was told the planet was very beautiful...

Oh how they lied to me!!

When I arrived on earth, i discovered there were no flowering fields.

when I got to earth, i discovered there was no mother and father for me as they said.

When I got to earth, i saw darkness instead of the beautiful sunrise I was told of.

If i had know i would never have boarded the voyage in the first place.

So with a smile on my face , I'm traveling back home.

I'm going back to the place where there is neither strife nor hate.

I'm going back to that place where there is neither jealousy nor envy.

I'm going back to the plane of peace.

I'm really happy I'm going back.

Thank God I wasn't exposed to much of the evil of earth.

Good bye and so long planet earth.....


 Thanks
Miracle Baby

Why do we do the things we do?

 WISDOM SERIES
Rhapsodies of Oswald



You know, sometimes I wonder why I do some of the things I do even though it is not yielding any profit.

I mean here am I with nature on this beautiful day with a complicated and troubled heart. I looked around and I saw the grasses dance to the tunes of the wind , I heard the birds singing in harmony with a joyful heart. I felt the peace and love in their hearts. Just that one moment with nature made me realize the simplicity of life and I kept wondering to my self why i complicate my life by myself when it was made simple for me.

To what reason do i slave for money from day to day at expense the of my peace and happiness?

To what reason do I pursue fashion and trend from time to time when even the  flowers of the field that wont exist anymore in a matter of days,weeks , months has clothes more beautiful than all my clothing combined.

Here am I in my youthful exorbitance and wild passions  exposing myself to immorality just to fulfill my sexual desires but in the end realizing that what I need is not a sex mate but a friend and sister. 

I wonder what I was trying to prove by being rebellious to God and acting as a prodigal child. I mean what exactly is it  I was  searching for when I threw away the pearl given to me and went in search for another treasure.

Re-compassing everything I've done , i just laugh to myself and say; "oh foolish me!".
In the end i just realize, it is not the wealth that matters, nor the fame or fashion. All that matters is the salvation of our soul which is the main reason why the everyday business has become a decision of eternity.

Perhaps we may just realize that all we need is just a plate, a spoon and a nest to live a fulfilled life.

POEM OF A WEEPING SOUL

Wisdom Series
Rhapsody of oswald




This is a poem whose words has been moulded by sad times. A poem in whose lines the very sad experiences of our today world has been conveyed. 

IT READS:

I LOOK TO THE PAST AND IT JUST SEEM LIKE YESTERDAY WHEN EVERYTHING LOOKED PERFECT.

I REMEMBER THE DAYS WHEN THE FIELD WAS GREEN

WHEN  BLUE LILIES AND THE RED ROSE FILLED THIS MOUNTAIN SIDE.

I REMEMBER HOW THE BUTTERFLIES USED TO FILL EVERY TERRAIN ON THIS MOUNTAIN SIDE

THOSE WERE THE GOOD OLD DAYS

THE DAYS WHEN MY BEAUTY WAS STILL WITH ME.

THE DAYS WHEN MY BELOVED WAS VERY CLOSE.

OH! HOW I WOULD GIVE ANYTHING TO GO BACK IN TIME TO THOSE YEARS.

LOOKING AT THE PRESENT, I JUST WONDER HOW EVERYTHING CHANGED ALL OF A SUDDEN.

HOW DID THE GREEN FIELDS BECOME A WASTE LAND ALL OF A SUDDEN?

WHEN DID THE MELODIOUS SONGS OF THE CITIES SUDDENLY CHANGE INTO WEEPING?

WHERE ARE ALL THE LILIES AND ROSES ON THIS MOUNTAIN SIDE?

WHERE DID ALL THE BUTTERFLIES GO?

OH! HOW IS IT THAT MY PLAY GROUND SUDDENLY BECAME COVERED IN THE BLOOD OF MY LOVED ONES?

DEATH! OH DEATH!! WHY DID YOU HAVE TO TAKE MY TREASURE AWAY FROM ME?

WHY DID YOU HAVE TO TAKE AWAY FROM ME THE ONLY BLANKET WITH WHICH I KEEP WARM IN THE COLD DARK NIGHTS OH DEATH?!

GRAVE! OH GRAVE!! WHY MUST IT BE THE SOUL OF MY BELOVED THAT YOU HAVE TO USE TO QUENCH YOUR HUNGER AND THIRST?

HADES! OH HADES!! WHY MUST YOU SWALLOW A LIVE RAM EVEN WHEN YOU ARE FED WITH MEAT FROM THE SLAUGHTER HOUSE?

BUT IN ALL I AM STILL COMFORTED

I AM COMFORTED BECAUSE THE MASTER OF THE SYSTEM SAID TO ME : "TAKE HEART CHILD".

IN MY DARKEST HOUR DID THE MASTER OF LIFE AND DEATH SAY TO ME ; " A LITTLE LONGER CHILD, HOLD ON A LITTLE LONGER FOR THE DAWN OF A NEW DAY IS JUST A MOMENT AWAY AND WHEN THE DAY IS COME, YOU SHALL EXPERIENCE A BEAUTY THAT WILL LAST FOREVER".

TAKE THIS MESSAGE TO MY BELOVED

TO MY BEAUTY OH SAY THIS TO WHOEVER YOU ARE GOING FROM THE SLAUGHTER HOUSE TO THE STOMACH OF HADES ITSELF!

TELL MY BEAUTY THAT I SAID ; " A LITTLE LONGER DEAREST, HOLD ON A LITTLE LONGER.  FOR THE MASTER SAYS THAT THE DAWN OF A NEW DAY IS JUST A MOMENT AWAY AND WHEN THE DAY IS FINALLY COME, WE SHALL BEHOLD THE BEAUTIFUL DAYS AGAIN. WE SHALL HOLD HANDS AND PLAY IN THE GREEN FIELDS AS WE USED TO. HOLD ON A LITTLE LONGER TILL WE MEET TO PART NO MORE".


In loving Memories of:
  • All the faithful departed who has been a victim of war, famine , natural disasters, and random violence all around the world
  • Th dead and gone of Syria.
  • Late REGINA JEJE , Late FAVOUR NESIMEYE, Late TEMITOPE, Late IGHOLIN, Late BRIDGET.
         (R.I.P) REST IN PEACE BELOVED TILL WE MEET TO PART NO MORE.

WORDS OF WISDOM

15 Rhapsodies Of Oswald

  • True beauty does not lie on the outside but lies within.
  • We are all born to shine as children but only those who light up their lamps shines.
  • Peace is what all human seek but only few who understand that only God can give peace actually find peace.
  • Ignorance is a contagious disease . so choose your friends wisely.
  • An admirer of beauty always wishes to bask in the light of the beauty it beholds but nothing beautiful comes easy so it takes an hard working admirer to bask in the light of such beauties.
  • That the fruit tree on a fertile soil has not fruit on its branches doesn't mean it is barren but it is waiting for its season to manifest.
  • Though everyone looks, it only takes the discerning heart to actually see.
  • Words of wisdom are meant to illuminate our lives. The reason why though we hear the words of wisdom everyday but are not improving in our spiritual and physical lives is because we do not apply the words of wisdom we hear.
  • Doing something without understanding is like moving without a direction. Understanding is what gives direction.
  • Fate is what we make for ourselves for life and death is always placed before us. what we choose is our fate.
  • Sometimes when things aren't going well, we look at our lives and wonder where we got it all wrong and we are always tempted to look at where we fell instead of where we slipped.
  • In nature are the wisdom of God expressed.
  • The size of a vehicle determines the amount of passenger it would carry thus  the size of your dream is a determining factor of your height in life. So dream big dreams.
  • One lesson humans have failed to learn from the butterfly is to follow guidiance. It is what always leads to a field of beautiful flowers.
  • We sin freely because we do not understand the extent of hells torment neither do we fully understand the beauty and glory of heaven. Only if all men understood then would all humans really act in fear of God.

WORDS OF WISDOM



WISDOM QUOTES OF DALAI LAMA

source : twitter.com
                                                          @DALAI LAMA(HHDL)


Compassion brings peace of mind and with it better health; so cherish compassion.
To utilize our intelligence correctly a calm mind is very important.
Through education we have to lead people to see that concern for others is actually in their own interest.
By implementing the practice of love and compassion, we will naturally live a non-violent way of life.
Scientists are discovering that while anger and hatred eat into our immune system, warm-heartedness and compassion are good for our health.
On a simple level we find that if we have a compassionate heart we naturally have more friends.
I always try to share with others the idea that in order to become compassionate it is not necessary to become religious.
When you are warm-hearted, there is no room for anger, jealousy or insecurity.

Past history clearly shows that violence cannot solve problems.
Co-operation comes from friendship, friendship comes from trust, and trust comes from kind-heartedness.
A great Tibetan teacher of mind training once remarked that one of the mind’s most marvelous qualities is that it can be transformed.
A mind wishing to benefit other people and other sentient beings is the very basis of peace and happiness.

Ask yourself, what am I doing about my anger, my attachment, my pride, my jealousy? These are the things we should check in our daily lives.
Peace in the world relies on individuals finding inner peace. 
Dalai Lama
One way to ensure everyone’s peace and happiness is to cultivate a healthy respect for the diversity of other peoples and cultures.
We need to encourage an understanding that inner peace comes from relying on human values like, love, compassion, tolerance and honesty.

Genuine happiness comes from focusing on the happiness of others.
Success can’t be measured by how much money you have, but by whether you have inner peace in your heart.

Once you have a genuine sense of concern for others, there’s no room for cheating, bullying or exploitation.

Peace isn't the mere absence of violence; peace must come from inner peace. And inner peace comes from taking others’ interests into account

Warm-heartedness and concern for others are a part of human nature and are at the core of positive human values.
