Pockets of Time

                

 

Never in exalted measures do we live life: only in moments,

Though we hold its promise of years, we receive it in days,
and live it in minutes.

Regardless of how long it may be,

It is given us in snippets, bite-size chunks: moments

With the grandeur and splendour of this vale;

We only pass through its meadows and serene streams-

But in steps-pockets of time.

The drop counts to the stream,
And from rivulets, the tempestuous river is birthed.
Heavenly floodgates, blesses us only in the rain-drop,
Tis' from these, that Sea broadens her coast...
...and from punny snowflake(s), dear Winter gathers her boast.
Thus the mighty King, one infantry-man at a time, assembles his host.

Each daily task, is the future in a mask.
And In ever varying magnitudes, each day...we build-
Towers of blessedness, and pits of grovel- pits of sadness.
Though there be difference in our eventualities, we create them all in one uniform nature-
The undertaking of each moment's duty.- the exertion of effort!

Charity begins at home, neither is the cow fattened in the day of sale.
Great deeds are but a repetition of great diligence and attention given to the small duties of life.
Each day beckons its own tasks,
The whole is but an aggregate of the individual constituents,
If the small is flawless, the Great is made perfect.
He that is able to put his soul into each duty be it worldly or spiritual, to do it will all excellence,
The same shall escape the gallows of commonplace...the fetters of mediocrity.
All work takes the form of the state in which it be undertook,
If with vigour- it shall burst with energy, if with thoughtfulness- it shall show forth wisdom and awe.
  
Many Men are anxious, seeking  greater power, responsibility, and wealth.

Noble as they be, their longings will not reach fruition,
For they lie in wait, of some grand moment, when they shall pounce, with superb resolution on this master-opportunity,
Yet they forget: they is no way from boyhood to manhood but by growth,
The greater avails itself to he who has mastered the lesser.

So now I call Men, to the realisation:
Life is but a measurement of time.
It's worth being the value created along the seasons.
The insignificant tends to significance, even from the invisible, that which is seen was created.
Consider each moment sacred, and whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might.
Regardless of its significance, each hour attack each task with grave purpose, and each undertaking with your very soul.

Hence your life will not fall short of blessedness, glory, greatness and poise...

...For, Never in exalted measures do we live life: only in moments,
Though we hold its promise of years, we receive it in days, and live it in minutes.
Regardless of how long it may be,
It is given us in snippets, bite-size chunks: moments
With the grandeur and splendour of this vale;

We only pass through its meadows and serene streams

But in steps- pockets of time...

Attention: The Key to Influence

Attention is the key to influence. A token by which individuals, occurences and the various constituents of life are given power to affect one's decision(s). All decisions be they productive or indolent, find their roots in this gem. Wherever one  places his/her heedfulness there, are his/her choices and preferences hinged.

By virtue of the occurences and people we surrender our attention to, to them we give power to alter our perceptions and shift our views. One's direction will go only but one way: that of his vision. A man's mental disposition is in absolute correlation with those of his teachers he heeded the most: and his truths also align with the thoughts he has habitually chosen to entertain. He who hearkens to a soldier, will surely regard life as a battlefield. He who delights himself in sweet quiet music will surely appreciate the inherent beauty, both of nature and Man. 

Your world view, is the rock from which your actions are hewn. A man's way falls within the confinements of his Perception. He only acts in the way he perceives a situation. Our perception is the way we analyze activity, scrutinize the scripts of life and pass judgement. Our perceptions are the aggregation of the great many scenes we have passed through in life and the conclusions we have gathered therefrom. No man is without one: each of us is bound by some viewpoint, wrong or right. How you and I will fare in life, is dependent on how we have defined our world and interpret it. 

Give your attention to things that matter: surrender your time to that which be worth your thought. Be watchful only for those things that are needful and inspire you. Let your focus be that which tends to better decisions and brighter dispositions.

It is a statement of proven truth, that a lot many things that call for one's attention, only excite, in one way or the other, the senses, with no profit delivered. It is therefore called-for that we, you and I, guard our life, that we be only alert to higher thoughts, higher activity, that our lives may shine, for its totality is but a reflection of where our vision, ears and mind have been inclined.

With This Pen 

With this pen, I will rewrite the pages of history.

  With it I will re-frame the edifice of mankind.

I intend to give light yet again,

to the darkened corridor of man's life,

His mind will be enlightened,

his future illuminated!

By these writings, the World will soar,

into a glorious destiny, shall its ship be urged by this oar.

 To any man that shall heed my call,

his life will resound with blessedness,

and all his being will be a show of splendour and awe.

I Will, to impart knowledge,

To stir up man to the deepest wisdom;

bring moral clarity to the peoples,

teach on the importance of virtue,

and bring the utmost blessing of purity.

So will I have filled my rightful place,

and added value to history.

If but one man is transformed,

who was lost and is found - was dead, and yet lives again,

the echo will not cease to reverberate through the ages, 

for by one man's enlightenment,

Heaven bursts into cries of joy. 

So even now, with ceaseless importunity,

with haste and without rest, to seize the time-opportunity,

I pursue my vocation, my deepest calling...

To Inspire...
