If you cry because the sun has gone from your life, your tears will prevent you from seeing the stars. Let your life dance lightly on the edges. Time is like dew on the tip of a leaf. You cannot capture the beauty of a flower by plucking its petals. You smiled and said nothing to me and I felt that I had been waiting for this for a long time. Most people think of the mind as a mirror, which more or less accurately reflects the world outside them, not realizing that the mind itself is the key element of creation. We misread the world and say it deceives us. Patriotism cannot be our last spiritual refuge, my refuge is humanity. I will not buy glass at the price of diamonds, and I will never let patriotism dominate humanity as long as I live. If I can't make it through one door, I'll go through another—or I'll make a door. No matter how dark the present may be, something wonderful will surely come.

Love brings about the biggest change in women's nature than ambition in humans. I have spent many days tying and untying the strings on my instrument. Whereas the song I had come to sing has remained unsung. When I am gone, may my thoughts come to you, like a ray of sunset on the edge of starry silence. Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to bring rain or storms, but to add color to my sunset sky. I slept and dreamed that life was blissful. I woke up and saw that life is service. I acted and watched, service was joy. You can't cross the ocean just by standing and looking at the water. It is very simple to be happy, but it is very difficult to remain simple. Faith is the bird that feels the light and sings when the dawn is still dark The butterfly counts moments, not months, and she has enough time. Reach high, because the stars are hidden within you. Dream deep, because every dream comes before the goal. Do not limit a child to his education only because he was born in some other time. The highest education is that which does not merely give us information but brings our life into harmony with the whole of existence. Everything that is ours comes to us if we create the ability to receive it. One who plants trees despite knowing that he will never sit in their shade has at least started to understand the meaning of life. The most important lesson that man can learn from life is not that there is pain in this world, but that it is possible for him to transform it into joy. #worldhistoryofmay7 #RadioDay #WorldAthleticsDay I Love INDIA & The World !
