God bless me to forgive (English Poetry)

God bless me to forgive 
Bearing the other’s evils 
God bless me to pardon 
Forgetting other’s burdens 
God bless me to excuse gladly
Accepting the adversary

As you forgive gracefully 
Us and our sins relentlessly
To tolerate others generously  
Bless us Lord to forgive freely 

Those who oppress me with irritation
Those who with thought of deception
Without anything to consider in mind 
Bless us Lord to forgive them in kind

Those who snatch my possession 
Those who tease me in aggression 
Those who did the evil some 
Bless us Lord to forgive them 

Those who denied justice to me 
Those who spoiled peace in me
Those who deceive me covertly 
Bless me Lord to forgive gently 

Those who’ve done betrayals 
Those who hate me disloyal 
Those who’ve enmity in me
To forgive them, Bless me 
 
Those who disgusted to my affection 
Those who rebuke me in arrogance
Those who blame me in the back 
Bless me Lord to forgive in quick 

Those who like low-estate in me 
Those who despise N oppress me
Those who dislike me in situation
Bless me Lord to forgive in elation 
 
When I recite N write the praise of You
Those who despise and exclude me too
Those who affix the stains in my mind
To forgive them, boon I expect to grand 

God bless me for forgiving
God bless me by forgiving

"Just for Fun" Mads - Sinful People (Thought for the day)

Dinesh was working in a corporate IT company.  He was a teetotaler having no bad habits. 
A few friendly circles were formed as there were more than a hundred people worked in the office. Those friendly circles were celebrating many parties like birthday party, wedding party, anniversary party among them. It was accompanied by alcohol, cigarettes and some drugs. Although Dinesh tried to avoid these parties many times, he was forced to attend some parties under the compulsion of "Just come to give a company. You can take soft drinks".  At a party that day, one of the friends mixed a pinch of drug in a soft drink and gave it to Dinesh.  Dinesh, who knew nothing, started drinking it. When the poison was added in his body he felt something exotic in it.  It was a pleasure for him and he used to attend so many parties and today he is addicted to alcohol and drugs. He lost his job and his family is totally devastated.

"Why did you do this?" if it is asked, the man who added drugs first to Dinesh replied without any guilt, "I just did it for a Fun. Who knew that it would happen like this?"

After some people have ruined the lives of many people saying, "I did this for the fun", "I'm suffering too. Why not him?",  "I did it without knowing, what can I do now?" , are living like beasts without even a guilt feeling. They are ravaging not only individuals but an entire society.

Like a madman who throws firebrands, arrows, and death
19 is the man who deceives his neighbor
    and says, “I am only joking!”   (Proverbs 26:18-19)

Offerings from illegal earning is bribe to God? (Thought for the day)

He was a small trader. He was doing honest business in a simple way and duly paid taxes to the government genuinely. He saw other small traders coming after him suddenly coming forward. Something stirred in his thought. He began to show his work by praying, "God! If you make me richer and richer, I will give you a fifth of my earning to you as an offertory."  He made more than a hundred times a year by doing various tricks like counterfeit market, black money, tax fraud, hoarding, loan fraud. He gave what he owed to government officials and built support. Now, thinking of getting approval from God for all what he was doing, he went to the worship place year after year and paid a fifth of what he earned in cash or gold. Till this day the illicit income remains the same and he used to go to the worship place regularly and paid the gold and goods.

God never helped him to earn illegally. But he tries to bribe God to get rid of his sin. All that is created in this world belongs to the Lord.  So do not try to bribe the Lord with your offerings of income which came in the wrong way in the name of the Lord. The robber, the murderer, and illegal traders are all paying their tribute as gold today. Thus gold is stored and wasted in one place. Gold is a commodity that the poor cannot afford. In a situation, the women from poor family are unable to get married due to the very high price of it, when gold stored in various places without of it’s use. Moreover, due to gold imports, the foreign exchange of our country is affected. Many people hoard their savings and black money in gold.

“To do what is right and just
    is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.”  (Proverbs 21:3)
“Better to be a nobody and yet have a servant
    than pretend to be somebody and have no food.”  (Proverbs 12:9)

“நடுவு இன்றி நன் பொருள் வெஃகின்  குடிபொன்றிக்
குற்றமும் ஆங்கே தரும்".( திருக்குறள் 171 )
Thirukkural meaning:  If a man departing from equity covet the property (of others), at that very time will his family be destroyed and guilt be incurred.

My Own Kurals
“அழல்சுடு தகர்அவி உணவுவிரும் பாரவர்
அவைநீக்கின் சாலப் பெற்”  
Meaning:  God doeth not like the burnt sacrifice of lamb but HE mostly likes if we leave from evil ways which HE and and the society hate.
“படைத்தவ    ரிகழும்   படைத்ததுப்  படைப்பின் 
பசியுற்றார்   அகடு   காண்ப”
Meaning:  The creator disgraces our sacrifices (which is HIS own creations) seeing the empty stomach of hunger people.

No one who loves money can be judged innocent (Thought for the day)

This is a story about three different families in a town.

The first family was a family of three earnings as father, and two sons. They were focused on amassing wealth, gold, possessions, houses, and land. They do not know meaning of charity and how to donate to others. If anything is available free,  they will enjoy it as much as they can.

Second family. The family is a treacherous family who lived a life of luxury by deceiving others, borrowing money from the bank and others keeping their wealth in the proxy name and account.  They lived a luxury life on others’ money.

Third family was an elderly couple with one income from husband who was honestly retired from government service, raised children and was living a life of self-sufficiency without any support. Both of them were also suffered with disease during their life time. Yet they were not even slightly interested in other’s money.

At this scenario,  there was a severe earthquake in that town.
The first family died in thought of losing all their properties in waste. They are wandering as unsatisfied souls in the loss.
Second family. After being trapped in the earthquake, severely suffered a concussion and was thrown straight into a fiery hell. Someone enjoyed the properties which they had illegally added.
Third family. They died peacefully with nothing to lose and attained heavenly birth in the presence of the Lord.

“Two things I ask of you, LORD;
    do not refuse me before I die:
8 Keep falsehood and lies far from me;
    give me neither poverty nor riches,
    but give me only my daily bread.
9 Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you
    and say, ‘Who is the LORD?’
Or I may become poor and steal,
    and so dishonor the name of my God.”   (Proverbs 30: 7-9)

“When times are good, be happy;
    but when times are bad, consider this:
God has made the one
    as well as the other.
Therefore, no one can discover
    anything about their future.”  (Ecclesiastes 7:14)

“No one who loves money can be judged innocent; his efforts to get rich have led him into sin.[b] 6 Many people have been ruined because of money, brought face-to-face with disaster. 7 Money is a trap for those who are fascinated by it, a trap that every fool falls into.”  (SIRACH 31: 5-7)

Comments and Success (Thought for the day)

It was the first class for first-year students of postgraduate philosophy. One of the professors entered into the classroom and began to write the following on the blackboard.
(+) x (+) = +
(-) x (-) = +
(+) x (-) = -
(-) x (+) = -
Students did not understand. Thinking that the math teacher had mistakenly entered our class, students screamed , “Sir! We are M.A. Philosophy Students”.  The professor laughed." I'm not a math teacher either. I am  the philosophy teacher. I wrote the method of our life. If positive-minded people criticize us positively, we are also straightforward. We are straight even if the negative ones criticize us negatively. We are not straight when negative people criticize us positively or when positive people criticize us negatively. So we need to correct ourselves. This is how our circle of friends, our understanding, our actions will be covered in this formula. "

The answer is correct even if you apply this formula to everything. The negative reviews of many negative human beings would have given us a positive inspiration. This is what we can learn from our lives and from the history of many achievers.

“Do not rebuke mockers or they will hate you;
    rebuke the wise and they will love you.”   (Proverbs 9:8)

“Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”  (Romans 12:21)

How we are dealing our Customers? (Thought for the day)

Babu is a waiter at a popular non-vegetarian restaurant on a popular road in Chennai. Two new customers came to the tables under his watch that day. One was a rich man who got out of the car and well dressed. Another was an old man who was walking around in dress with wrinkles. He sat in a sad figure with an untrimmed mustache and beard. Babu went to the rich man and gave him the menu card and he was waiting for the order nearby. He was looking at the menu card for a little while and finally ordered a biryani.  Babu, who was focused on taking care of him, kept the old man to wait for a long time. After serving the food to the rich man, Babu asked to the old man, "Hey old man! What do you want?".  The old man politely said, "Give me some water first".  Babu placed the jug of water harshly on the old man's table. "Hmm. What are you going to eat?" , to hear that bluntly, the old man looked at the menu card and said, "What's up bro?" . Babu had said some food items and the old man ordered some of them. Babu also looked at him with suspicion and said, "Old man! The items you ordered will cost more than five hundred rupees in total. Do you have such money?".  The old man said “I have enough money. I am so hungry my boy. Please bring me the meal first".    After a while the ordered items came to the old man’s table. Babu also went to look after the rich man. "Sir! Want something else? ” asked . The rich man replied“ That’s it! Bring the bill ".  Babu politely handed the card with the bill to him. The rich man gave his debit card and wrote the tips on the bill for twenty rupees and left after getting back the debit card. Until then, Babu did not notice the old man. He approached and asked, "Do you want anything else?" The old man said, "Enough! I can not eat more than this".    After a while, Babu just handed over the bill (without the card) to the old man’s hand and the old man paid the money at the bill counter and left. Babu's eyes widened and filled with tears as he saw a 500 Rupee note was falling from the bottom of the old man’s plate when the table cleaner who had come to clean.  The old man kept the note as a tip to the waiter. When Babu thought to apologize with the old man, the old man was far away from his sight.
 
This can be seen in many government offices, hospitals, mainly in MNCs, private companies, restaurants and service centers. Customers can see different approaches by service deliverers with different angles according to  dress, appearance and their job position. This is the nature of dogs. Dogs only behave with people based on the appearance and dress.  Many people make these mistakes, even those who have developed from their earlier poor state. People wrongly understand arrogance and misbehavior with customers as "MNC culture" or "Corporate culture".  The Organisation should notice of it and remove such animal behaviours. Indeed, it's not a culture but it is a wild behaviour of Dog.
 
"உருவுகண்டு எள்ளாமை வேண்டும் உருள்பெருந்தேர்க்கு
அச்சாணி அன்னார் உடைத்து"  (திருக்குறள் 667 )
Above Thirukkural means “Despise not men of modest bearing; Look not at form, but what men are: For some there live, high functions sharing, Like linch-pin of the mighty car!.”
 
“Do not compliment a person on his good looks. On the other hand, do not look down on someone who is unattractive. 3 Compared to most flying things, a bee is very small, but the honey it makes is the sweetest of foods. “  (SIRACH 11: 2-3)
 
"A customer is the most important visitor on our premises. He is not dependent on us. We are dependent on him. He is not an interruption of our work. He is the purpose of it. He is not an outsider of our business. He is part of it. We are not doing him a favour by serving him. He is doing us a favour by giving us the opportunity to do so."  -  (Gandhiji)

Mind is not a trash box (Thought for the day)

A middle-aged man went to meet a clergyman. The Clergyman greeted him and asked "What's the matter?".  He replied "No one understand me. Brothers, sisters, wife and even children."  From then on, he went on to state histories of many years (blaming others) from his childhood until then.  The Clergyman, who listened to everything patiently, said, "Well, come with your wife in two days." "Guru, wife is not with me. I am alone."  The Clergyman understood and said, "Okay, I will stay in your house for three days and see if there is anything wrong at your house. Will it be okay?." He half-heartedly agreed.  The Clergyman  came to the man’s house with a big bundle. The man kept the house clean and tidy. The Clergyman opened his bundle and took his old clothes and old papers and books and spread them all over the room. The man brought breakfast, lunch, and dinner from nearby  small hotel restaurant to give to the Clergyman, and the Clergyman ate the same and put the empty parcels and food waste in the room. He also washed his hands in the room.  It was a great disappointment to the man who expected the Clergyman to do something for him. Since arriving the Clergyman had been doing nothing except eating, studying and sleeping. The whole room was littered. On top of this, the Clergyman asked the man to wash his clothes which made the man went to the peak of his anger. "Guru!  I have never done any work for anyone since I was a child till this time.  If I worked,  it would be only for myself. 
In these three days you gave me a job when I thought you would do something for me. You refused to even listen to my speech in these three days. You ruined my house." he shouted.
The Clergyman, quietly opened his mouth. "Son!  I have learned about you in these three days. How angry you are for trashing this room. You have filled your mind like a trash box
with  with rubbish for years and years.  You have stored in your mind the faults of others such as hatred, hatred, envy, humility, arrogance, accusation for years. As for you, you want everyone to help you, to listen to you, to be submissive to you, but you refuse to do this to others. In this world, you love and believe yourself only.  Even if I give advice to you, you will not accept it. "  The Clergyman walked with his bundle silently. 

“1.Whoever isolates himself seeks his own desire;
    he breaks out against all sound judgment.
2.A fool takes no pleasure in understanding,
    but only in expressing his opinion.”  (Proverbs 18:1-2)

Am I capable indeed ? (English Poetry)

God, Do I deserve it?
Even me you select
What a many benefits did you do
Lord, how much you raised me too!

Not only wonders for me you did,  
Which You’ve the desire to spread 
Lord, You think that even it is lighter  
What you did to the man in the litter

Many more will be doing it for me
And the house of your servant to be 
Itself specialized by Thy blessings
That is your promise and willing 
 
What can I say O’ Lord to Thee
On the concern you have on me 
You,  the High Most respect me
Yet more and more in every plea 
 
When the men who are like dust 
Themselves treat me as trivial just 
When I am nothing before Thee 
Is it right – You’re treating high me  

Am I capable indeed,  
To me that all you did
Even more than being
To do is Thy great willing 

Is there anyone like you?
Is there any God than you?
For those who fear to Thee
You’re the one shows mercy

For Thy people, Israelites are 
To be your people forever
You’ve saved by Thy mighty hand 
And You’ve given them own land

Lord, please ensure to bless 
Your servant and his house
All that blessed by you, are 
Blessed for ever and ever

Rumour (Fake News) or Puke News

 It was a quiet cohesive village. People of many religions and castes lived there as brothers. "Goku" belonged to a religion (or caste). "Maku" belonged to another religion (or caste). Maku owned the shop and he was short tempered. That day,  Goku came to Magu's shop to buy some things.A small argument was in sales. At the end of the argument, Magu beat Goku.  Assaulted Koku  quietly came into the house and sat down. The mind was overwhelmed. He was eager for revenge. Realizing that he alone did not have the strength to retaliate, thinking that social media was the right weapon, in which Goku falsely spread the rumor that Magu spoke disparagingly about his religion (or caste). Within 24 hours of being sent, rumors of one, two, four, and a hundred spread differently. At the end it was finished with rioting. In the village that used to be quiet, people today live in fear of riots.

The fake news or rumors are spread without knowing the fact that an individual’s hatred and vengeance is the main cause for any racial, religious and caste riots taking place in the world today.

We share them instantly with others before we realize or know the actual truth in each news spread. We eat the rumor (vomit) that one person has eaten and forwarded to us and the same we are puking it on to the next person(vomit). We are always busy spending time with others on social media and telephone calls for vain speech and gossip. We despise those who speak and write about God. We ignore the messages about God and spiritual thoughts.  But we expect everything from God.  How big selfish we are!

"To discern the truth in every thing, by whomsoever spoken, is wisdom. "- (Thirukkural 423)

"Whoever practices evil pays attention to wicked speech, and the liar listens to malicious talk" -(Proverbs 17:4)

"The mouths of fools are their ruin; they trap themselves with their lips. Rumors are dainty morsels that sink deep into one’s heart." - (Proverbs 18:7-8)

Your life is not a competition with others (Thoght for the Day)

Mathan, was a manager working in a private office. He was well paid. He had own house, car and  some inherited property. He had one son studied medicine and another son  studied engineering. But he always thought of something as a flaw. When asking "How are you?",  his answer was "something is" and "Life is running somewhat". He often used "what to do" and "what to say". So he was be teased in the office as "whatto Mathan". One day the management appointed a new General manager over him. He was younger than Madan but higher in salary which still irritated Mathan. Thus he was unable to concentrate at the time. He made a lot of mistakes and caused some losses to the organization. He got angry with everyone in the office. Suddenly one day the management dismissed him from the job.  The income was gone. No matter how much savings and property he had, losing his job and salary made him depressed. Lost sleep for several days. As his body and mind was suffered very much, he approached a psychiatrist on the advice of his family doctor. 

The disease he had was an expression of a competitive attitude that compared him to those who had more wealth than himself. He never thought of those below him. 

Many today are dissatisfied with their competitive attitude towards those who are superior to them. Many people live to show their luxury and are not live with a content life. They are carrying the load of future life in the present life. They are not living as human being rather they are displaying themselves as a “Showcase Dummy” and a “Brand BannerBoard” 

“If you faint in the day of adversity,
Your strength is small.”   (Proverbs  24:10)

Need for reprimand (Thought for the day)

I grew up under my father's control from the day I remembered until my first job. My father would get angry at me many times. He was strict and punished me. Then I scolded him so many times in the mouth, and cursed him. During the school age, I used to sit nearby while he ate even after I filled my stomach. The one who ate on half stomach deliberately put the rest of the food on the plate for me and get up. He worked for the family even in his physical ailments until old age i.e. until he died. He was the only person I know who voluntarily accepted the work of others in the office and carried it on his head.  He had been a good guide for honesty and sacrifice not only for me but also for my family and all those around him.

Truly, Father and  Mother are the greatest gift the Lord has given us. It was only later that I realized that the more love and right a father has for his child, the more he will rebuke that child.

In this way, God will reprimand and correct those whom He has greater love and authority over. This is a fact I have witnessed in all my life. Do not think that God should not rebuke or punish.

Today many are even afraid to reprimand their children. They immediately buy what they want. They raise children like themselves in luxury and impose their involvement on wealth. Children grow with half knowledge in study and become lethargic at work. So the idea of earning in any way is growing. Social evils occur.  Parents who do not reprimand or punish their children for their mistakes and indiscipline,  are responsible for their future blunders. They refuse to show their children the hardships of themselves or others. Children who grow up like this will take any failure in negative sense.

"Apply your mind to instructions and your ear to words of knowledge.Do not withhold discipline from your children. If you beat them with a rod, they will not die. If you beat them with a rod, you will save their lives from Sheol (Abyss / Darkness) . (Proverbs 23:12-14)

Prayer for Forgiveness (Poetry in English)

Be sympathetic on me, Lord!
Keeping your steadfast love 
Without considering my doings 
Please accept me by pardoning 

I lived in a state of mind giggling  
I fell into the abyss sense boggling 
I made the merciful Lord to get annoyed
With my own iniquities and paranoid 

I know my sins are so great
My guilt presses on my pate
Soak all my sins and crimes
Lord! Please clean me,“grime” 

You chose me as your own son
But I fell into the mud and stain 
Oh my Shepherd! Forgive myself
Hereafter, accept me as a slave 

I got up and came to you
The whole story you know
I fall and scream before you
Tears fill up in my eyes too

I was against the Heaven 
Made mistakes and venom
In the yearnings of the World
Days many, I rejected you wild 

As a sheep that went astray
I was wandering without way
I rambled carrying the blame
Keep your compassion on me

Born in sin I was
Sinner I grew as
Not born in penance 
But was born in stains

I don’t forget the evil deeds
Evil is always before my eyes
I hated your commands trivially  
I’ve made many  mistakes boldly 

I’ve sinned against holiness
I used to go towards malicious 
I left from your sweetest love 
I come to you when I’m in low

Lord! According to my errors, Rebuke
Me and remove my sins and mistake 
Your Judgments are without guilt
Who can say that they tilt or wilt?

You desire want the truth inside
Fill me with light of soul stride  
Wash my heart as bright
Clean that as snow white

Delight me by your word
The mind will rejoice, Lord!
Flexible will be my shattered bone
Fiery heart will become cold zone

It's the charity of God (Thought for the Day)

Mahesh was a ninth grade student. He was the last one in everything in the class including studies and games. No teacher liked him. He often gets ridiculed by students. That was the school's annual day function. A huge Businessman was invited to preside over the ceremony.  Mahesh was compelled to do work in the function as a handyman. The businessman noticed Mahesh for a while and asked him to come and stand on the stage. Immediately his classmates and teachers started laughing. Mahesh stood on the stage in shame. After the award ceremony, the Businessman began his keynote address. "None of you know why I put this guy on stage. You make fun of him. The first thing is I will tell a story.  One day  I got out of the office in a car to pick up a huge foreign importer from the airport. The biggest order was waiting from him. He was the one who could expect everything to be right. More than halfway through the car heading towards the airport the car was repaired and I was extremely angry at the driver. If I did not go to the airport on time that big order would be abandoned by the buyer.  Luckily there was an auto mechanic shop a short distance away. The driver went there and inquired, only a little boy in the shop. "Dad will come in an hour." 
“Is there any other mechanic shop next? “ Asked  driver. He replied it was 6 Kms away from here. Realizing the seriousness of the situation, I called the boy. "Sir! I do not know anything about that. Let Dad come." The Boy said. Then by my compulsion, he started working. He finished work within twenty minutes and the car started brilliantly and I reached the airport on time. Thirty crore rupees order was also received. That guy is none other than this guy. He can earn two thousand rupees a day. Can You Do?
The second thing is, in the same school forty years ago, like this guy I was the one who was ridiculed by teachers and students. Today I am in front of you to preside over this school ceremony. "

This is how we live up mocking others based on their small faults. The one who earns the most is not intelligent. The low earner is not stupid. The Lord gives as suitable as to everyone. A chronic illness which was not even properly diagnosed by a high scholar Physician,   can be cured by a small Physician or by grandmother’s medicine. Giving many thousands to a well-educated doctor for pride we are finally cured in a hundred rupees medicine. Wealth, status, possessions, fame, and knowledge are all bestowed by God according to the individual, of course it is a charity by God.
Do not add stains to the glory of the Lord,  by exalting yourself and by insulting others.
Time will tell the truth.

Who is the real Owner? (Thought for the day)

He is a very rich man and very generous-minded. He had a lot of assets, orchards, gardens, cattle ranches, and fields. He had many employees to work with. In order to expand his business in another City, he called all his servants and said, "I leave all my possessions in this town to you. Maintain them properly and share equally the benefits that come from them." The days went by.  Some of the servants are more powerful and cunning than others. First they brought other workers under their control. They then divided the portion of the total property as they saw fit and made it their properties. The workers were tortured for lower wage. A discrimination was made against everyone in income. Then they reduced the areas of everything under their control such as gardens, orchards, fields, and cattle farms, and built houses and factories on the land. Then there is a business competition started among them, so that they set up fences around for security and multiplied security equipments. They grabbed the income of the workers and spent money on security from it. A lot of money was spent on destructive work rather than creative work that day.  A competitive attitude was also developed among the employees. Some become corrupted and looted other's money. Thus they spoiled all that what real owner gave them. The boss, who had been patient to see this for several days, one day got angry and drove them all out of his hometown.

Thus, natural resources are being plundered in the name of economic competition in this world. Weapons are being multiplied for destructive power in the name of security. Competitiveness is being created among the people and more and more ups and downs are being created. Without love, arrogance prevails and humanity is dying.
                    
      “May man not spoil what the Lord has given !!"

FAITH TO THE END (THOUGHT FOR THE DAY)

A fisherman lived with his family in a coastal village. At night, he would board his boat and went out to sea with other fishermen to catch fish and sell them early in the morning. The fishermen who went with him with more fish, but he caught very few fish. Fishing had been declining for months and years. He and his family prayed to the Lord every day. Day by day incomes were declining and they were languishing in poverty. As there was higher the expenses in their life with low income, the higher was the debt.

Not knowing what to do, that night they prayed to the Lord. "Lord! I'm going to sea today. I need to get a lot of catching from today so that I can get out of my debt trouble and move on with our lives. Otherwise we will be poisoned and die with our family." After praying of the family, the fisherman went to sea as usual at night. There was a surprise. The other fishermen's boat were full of fish but there were only three fish in total in this fisherman's net.

The disgusted fisherman bought a bottle of poison on the way to home and returned home with the three fish. The family was deeply saddened and said, "God! How much we relied on you. But you deserted us." Cried and lamented. Then the fisherman gave his wife three fish and said, "Let's mix the poison with fish broth and eat it and die.". The wife took the fish to prepare. When cutting the fish she saw shiny stones falling from the stomachs of the fish. The wife also called the fisherman and showed him. He took them to his friends and came to know that they were precious stones.

Now he thought, "If I had sold those three fish to someone and then poisoned ourselves, I would have ruined not only my life but the lives of my family as well. God saved us in this situation."

This is how many people get tired of their faith in God and tend to destroy themselves. Only those who believe to the end will succeed

"He who endures to the end will be saved"

A Bait on the Hook (Thought for the day)

Pyugle, a small island in the Pacific Ocean, is a paradise earth with dense forests and lush natural resources. Slightly less than a hundred aborigines lived there. They did not know the modern trend and naturally lived happily ever after as a single family sharing what they found happily and peacefully. Until then the island had never been approached by strangers. Henry Higgins was a Tourism Explorer. His business was to make money by going to various rare places and filming its beauty and displaying it on social media. 

He set off in his motor boat to go somewhere else that day. On the way, the boat collided with a floating log and its propeller got damaged. By the paddle, he rowed the boat as much as he could that he found a nearest island to take rest.  That's it, the Pyugle Island. He unloaded all his belongings from the boat and set up a tent on the beach. Then when he tried to contact for help by satellite phone, he was suddenly surrounded by a group of thirty to forty aborigines. They stared at him and he tried to tell them what had happened by his gesture. Their vision then began to fall on each of the items he had brought. He used this time to film them with his video camera and they tried to attack him for fear of seeing it. When he showed them what he just filmed them, they froze in amazement as they were shown in video camera.

Then they gathered him and showed him around their island. He also filmed them one by one. They did not realize the value of the resources there, had realized the value of their relationship. Yes, the island is rich in precious stones, rare trees, and precious minerals. It was Higgins who filmed everything before them and screened every trend and cuisine of the trendy world filmed in various locations. A month passed like this. All the scenes seen on the screen for a month caused a stir in the minds of the aborigines. The scene of the resources there also caused a revolt in Higgins' mind, to bring many more new people to the island within a few weeks. The aborigines accepted them too without understanding status quo. Within a few more weeks some ships arrived with some machinery and many experts. 

The aborigines there were sent separately to different countries. At the end all the resources of the island were plundered. The trees were cut down and exported to many countries. Overall the island became a commercial market and a tourist attraction with many resorts. Those aborigines severed their ties, lost their beautiful natural life and worked as slaves in different countries. 

This is how many allures are imposed on our lives by various media. We are now enslaved to those temptations without realizing that the temptations we see will enslave us in the future. Forgetting happy relationships, forgetting the nature God has given us, forgetting love, forgetting sharing, forgetting affection, forgetting humanity we are becoming animals in the name of civilization and economic development. Life is only there if the fish live in the water. Life is what man lives by his nature. Losing nature is sure to cause loss of life. There are so many temptations going on around us. Let's wake up right now. Let's decide whether we are the fish in the bait or to live our lives as our own. We should be fulfilled in the life the Lord has given to us.

Night Prayer (English Poetry)

As the sun sets into the skies
In this time when dark arise 
As the moon appears N’ rounds
As like fireflies, the Stars around
Are twinkling incredibly in the sky
As the body worked gets tired to lie
As to see a new fresh day in next 
The night is bloomed as quiet just 

As today is a happy phase
As filled with God’s grace 
Given by you for that I thank
Before the Lord, I bow shank 
No shortage is to me today
A lot of good you did that I say
Boons many are come to me
With your love, blessed is me 

Completed Thy promised word
Complimented this day blessed 
My delighted mind  sings you
Exhausted body will praise too
In the prosperous life that I have
Your support is the safe haven        
By your radiant facial light
Blessed me to rise in height 

My heart is quiet as Deep Ocean 
You enhanced my abilities clean 
I feel better too on my burdens 
The situation becomes favorable
At this time of closing my eyelids 
Whatever the goodness you did 
My tongue will praise the Lord 
I’ll too sing my song with chord 

Your Angles throughout the night
Are to protect us relentlessly tight 
Without any harm touching us 
Your grace stays the night with us
Dissenting thoughts are to run away 
A good sleep that yields quiet allay 
Indeed You will give us this time 
Until the happy morning will chime 

To revive our body  a lovely snooze
To refresh thoughts a peaceful doze
To regulate our mind a good relaxation
To have peace of mind without tension
To see the dreams of divinity in sleep 
To make the depth in the deepest nap
By the comfort of You, the Daemon
Let us get them all until the dawn

Morning Prayer (English Poetry)

I wake up early in the morning
Amazing, this is too amazing
Saying all Praising to You
Starting this day I will do

In the dawn, by your gracious love 
On this new day you keep me alive 
In my age You added a fresh day 
You blessed it in a wonderful way

Thank you Lord for this day!
Bonding me with you today
Anchoring  onto Thy loveliness
I shall be filled by Thy kindness

All the worries of the past 
As a dream will be passed 
All fears that spread over 
As a chaff will be flown over 

The light of the Sun at dawn
Throws darkness and mourn 
The gloom of the servant's mind
Thy facial light will remove bind  

Throughout this day myself 
To be elated,  give me help 
You’ll protect me on day this 
 With grace, love with peace

As no deceit in my thought
As no poison in my talk 
Without guilt and the lie in me
Today with concern you lead me

All that arrogance and hauteur 
Abolish to leave me as humble 
Fires of my fury will be turned off 
You will bless me to live unruffled 

With me throughout the day
You guide me and run my way
Indeed, you bless me larger 
Extend the existing border

By thy righteous hands in my work 
Bless everything to shine with perk 
Heal my body and mind 
Higher you lift me refined 

All that pains you’ll exclude in my way
Threatening plague you’ll chase away
You’ll embrace me in the tests anything
You’ll make achievements in everything 

This day I hand me over to you 
Delightfully you accept me too
To spread Thy holy fame all over
Make me as your tool for ever 

Today I’ll rejoice and enjoy 
In glory, You’ll give me victory 
I’ll surrender to you in humble 
You’ll run me and my household

Song of Praise (English Poetry) - Part 16 (How can I thank you, God?)

Lord!
How can I thank you?
I’m the boy who knows nothing

I want to say thanks to you in ton
God! For the good you have done
My thanks is not enough even for one
Millions is not equal to one you’ve done

You grabbed me from the empty
Chose me afore my forming in tummy   
You lifted up me from a muddy abyss
You prepared me as your son in bliss 

A wonderful father unforeseen and 
A mother with lot your grace grand
You’ve created them to give to me
For that ever thankful to you I will be  

You gave me sibling who’re delighting
Made a spouse with good understanding 
Also granted a lovely child as a gift to prayer 
Have too nurtured relationships larger 

You are feeding us daily
Made us for residing lovely 
You gave me everything I asked for
You made all unwanted to go far 

You’ve adorned me by colorful attire
You designed with a splendid figure
You delivered me a good high learning
 In me you’ve made abilities yearning 

You raised my prestige in all works
You’ve multiplied mastery embark
Made me to show my honesty boldly 
Guided me to do all my things clearly 

When thoughts assaulted the mind
When displeasure pierces the heart
When the nets of fears trapped me 
Without parting You traveled with me 

Everything I have is given by you
The life, soul and the body are too
Clear knowledge and wisdom all
Created in me were by you whole

How many, how many benefits are 
You completed into me as so far  
To thank you for all that you did
Lifetime one is not enough indeed

Though, I will say many thanks to you
As much as I can in this life you knew
For the good still you’re going to do
I want to be born again to thank you

Millions of thanks I say to you
I will give myself as a gift to you
I will say your praise by the song
Is there anything else  I can bring?

Songs of Praise (English Poetry) - Part 15 (Let your word fulfill us)

We kept our heart opened
Our minds are longing deepen  
To let your word come to us
O’  dear Lord, desirably bless  

To reign all our hearts 
To rule all our thoughts
To find out what ‘s your will
Send your word to us to fulfill 

To correct our behaviors
To improve our lives’ avers
To follow the laws and decrees 
Let us have your word in ease 

Word of the Lord has come
With life and peace in sum 
To make plausible mysteries
Send Thy word rushed in glories

To perpetuate the truth within
To avoid deception in talking
To speak clearly with wisdom
O’ my Lord!  Give us your term 

Without diverging from the way
Without having the sin and gray 
Without the plague approaching 
Protect us by your word’s coaching 

As your servant for will of yours
To live dedicating my life forever
And for renewing harmless world
We ask for you will give your word

Every word of you creates new one
Eventually it will truly give us lifespan
It’ll guide us in this life N next birth 
It’ll shape us to do our work worth  

Finding your steadfast love each morning
In every noon, your grace we are seeing 
Feeling Thy promise fulfillment in evening 
As strong as mountain you makes enduring 

Until it is finishing its work 
Your holy word itself lurk 
Will not come back to you
Will not leave the world too

Seasons and times can change a lot
The viewing scene may be also lost
The Earth and The Sun may disappear
But, your word will be lasting forever 

Let your word be filled in us 
To achieve the right benefits 
To maintain purity in our tongue 
Let your word live with us among
