I am still in the process of mere sowing and cultivating - but there will be a time when I can write a monologue of realization on meaning of life, life beyond happiness.

On another note, today is the 150th birthday of Swamiji. I bear too much respect for Him to wish Him happy birthday on Facebook or share His photo on my Facebook wall. He is too alive in my mind and soul for me to offer tribute to him. I just wish to get back to the days when I used to read so many of His books, discuss and debate over his ideology, and write essays and deliver lectures on Him / His teachings at different conferences as a student participator. His ideas came as sunlight and my mind blossomed slowly. I know that sometimes, I lost some of the petals even without my realization, but I still am feeling the sunshine in my soul when I read Him.
Honestly, His ideas have shown me the real meaning of being a human. Often though, I have drifted away from my ideology. But I am glad to say that I have always retorted back to being myself, and this consciousness of "myself" has been imparted to me through Swamiji's words and life.
Respect - to the greatest man in my life!
