Laws of Reflection (especially dedicated to over 40)

I was talking to an old school friend about my workshops on observing Physics with elementary school kids, when he jokingly said, "You are doing this kids, what do you have to share with us, people over 40?". I smiled, wondering.

But this morning, I woke up with a thought that just as I tell kids (at my library workshops) to hit the ball against the wall, to understand the laws of reflection. Then I ask them, "If you roll out blue ball, will you get a pink or a yellow ball". They (and their parents) wonder why am I asking that. And then, I tell them, when you friend is being mean, you feel like being mean and that keeps on reflecting. For laws of reflection hold good in all domains, whether you can see it happening (like balls) or not (like IR on remote control for TV and power point presentation pens); and they get it that if they need affection from friends, they genuinely need to send out affection, even if the friend is not ready for hugs (by just thinking with affection and smiling towards them, but from heart not from mind). So, also the parents get it, as they mentioned in the feedback.

But, here is a real life example, where I witnessed laws if reflection working, with me in less than 20 minutes:

After meditating, with my heart full of love,
I drove towards Costco, to buy myself a juicer,
since I only had to pick that, I didn't pull a cart,
and started walking towards the entrance, on that windy day,
on my way I saw a women struggling with the wind blowing her cart,
and she trying to download her shopping stuff into the trunk of her car,
I merrily, paused, turned towards her, and smilingly offered to hold her cart,
she thanked me, for that much needed simple help, and I moved on saying "God bless you",

I picked up the juicer in that bulky packing and stood in the line to pay,
to my surprise, in the mid-day of weekday, there were 10 people ahead of me with loaded carts,
I chose to smile, even though I had started feeling the weight of the 20 pound juicer on my arms and back,
just then the lady in front of me, turned around towards me, created space in her cart and very affectionately said,
"If you want, you may place the juicer inside my cart, while you are waiting in this very long line to make the payment",
I accepted the offer, began talking to her about her kids and mine, what to juice and what not to and other motherhood/women topics,
Finally, we both paid, left Costco, as if we were great friends, without knowing each others names, or even exchanging email/phone numbers,
When, I placed the juicer inside my car, it hit me that it took less than 20 minutes for the laws of reflection to work, between my act giving and receiving help.

Wow, everything does get reflected back, whether I can see it or not :))

As I think, my world becomes (poem)

If I focus on what I wish to create, thats what I attract,
so I see myself, laughing and singing, with my family members,
and I see myself, realizing all my dreams come true, in my relationship,
plus, I see myself, travelling around world, feeding kids and observing Physics.

Wow, what an inspiring moment (poem)

I saw her pass across the campus,
where in the center we were rejoicing,
laughing with our head out at kids answers,
on the award ceremony of my children's school.

But, behind all that noise, I saw her quietness,
amidst all the crowd, I noticed her walking alone,
beneath all exuberance, I witnessed her contentment,
and in her focus within, I discovered that invisible "joy".

She was walking, as if she had controlled, her sense organs,
She was looking, as if she was with, what she had been seeking,
She was sitting, as if she was happy, where she was watching from,
She was demonstrating, as if she were a turtle, with limbs retrieved.

Hate the sin, not the sinner... (poem)

Hate the expectations, but love the expectant,
Hate the helplessness, but love the helpless,
Hate the desires, but love the desirous,
Hate the fears, but love the fearful,

Hate the hatred, but love the hater,
Hate the anger, but love the angry,
Hate the ego, but love the egoistic,
Hate the sin, but love the sinner.

And I laughed at myself, really hard (poem)

I was on the land line, talking to someone about my work,
just then my cell phone rang, I saw it was a new number,
I let it go into the voice message, and I kept on talking,
but my mind started chatting in turn, without my Ok.

I witnessed, my mind leading me into the following story,
"Oh, it must be that lady, who I had met yesterday,
she had taken my number, and she wanted to meet,
but, how will I meet her today, I am so busy..."

I continued talking on the land line for twenty minutes,
and my mind kept on alluring me further into its story,
till, I finally checked the message in my cell phone,
only to find out that it wasn't that lady calling.

And I laughed at myself, really hard. :))

Everyone is God's child, so is Osama...(poem)

I have been a victim of my circumsatnces,
My heart has been flooded with pain,
My mind is full of random thoughts,
and in darkness, I am revengeful.

Just like me, and some of my very dear people,
many have searched for really deep bondings,
in which, someone can empathize, not judge,
and in Light only, I found that Love.

So, just as we pray, peace for even strangers,
why don't all of us, come together and pray,
for all those who lost dear ones on 9/11,
and include Osama Bin Laden, too?

For, everyone is God's child, so is Osama...

When God is one....(poem)

Krishna and Jesus consciousness are same,
All Masters are leading us towards only one goal,
Then, how can we, all of God's children be not same?
And, why wouldn't all of us, not pray, peace for Obama's soul?
