New pastime

Seems the poem bug has bitten me courtesy a fellow blogger.The reading (poem ) bug .
The following is a post of a poem written by someone, somebody sent it to me once.
Have no idea who the author is?

People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may just never be enough;
Give the world the best you have anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, it's all between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.

Killing the Buddha

Excerpts from this website
The idea of "killing the Buddha" comes from a famous Zen line, the context of which is easy to imagine: After years on his cushion, a monk has what he believes is a breakthrough: a glimpse of nirvana, the Buddhamind, the big pay-off. Reporting the experience to his master, however, he is informed that what has happened is par for the course, nothing special, maybe even damaging to his pursuit. And then the master gives the student dismaying advice: If you meet the Buddha, he says, kill him.
Why kill the Buddha? Because the Buddha you meet is not the true Buddha, but an expression of your longing. If this Buddha is not killed he will only stand in your way.

Killing the Buddha is a metaphor for moving past the complacency of belief, for struggling honestly with the idea of God. As people who take faith seriously, we are endlessly amazed and enraged that religious discourse has become so bloodless, parochial and boring. Any God worth the name is none of these things. Yet when people talk about God they are talking mainly about the Buddha they meet. For fear of seeming intolerant or uncertain, or just for lack of thinking, they talk about a God too small to be God.

Snippet from John Donne

And into that gate they shall enter,and in that house they shall dwell, where there shall be no cloud nor sun, no darkness nor dazzling, but one equal light, no noise nor silence, but one equal music, no fears nor hopes, but one equal possession, no foes or friends, but one equal communion and identity, no ends nor beginnings, but one equal eternity -John Donne

here's the full poem

Hazaron Khwahishen Aisi:
hazaaroN KHwahishaiN 'eisee ke har KHwahish pe dam niklebohot nikle mere armaaN lekin phir bhee kam nikle
nikalna KHuld se aadam ka sunte aayaiN haiN lekinbohot be_aabru hokar tere kooche se ham nikle
mohabbat meiN naheeN hai farq jeene aur marne kaausee ko dekh kar jeete haiN jis kaafir pe dam nikle
