Passion is incomplete without compassion

We all have heard as to how important it is to follow our heart, passion and how that leads to success and happiness.. It is true, it cannot be denied but have we even bothered beyond our success????

Today, success has become a synonym for happiness but how many of us have reflected within to really understand if this is really true ....

We need to be passionate about work or hobby or anything that can bring us pleasure to derive the best form of pleasure but at the end of the day it is ONLY SURROUNDING SELF... it is all about SELF PLEASURE.... It is only self contained..
And anything that is self contained has a never ending longing and greed... To the extent, it becomes SELFISH in nature... Thus, passion in its pure form is SELFISH.

Compassion on the other hand helps us in empathizing with the other, compassion helps in balancing the pleasure we seek.
If compassion is accompanied by passion, we are constantly aware of not putting others in any inconvenience for our passion(happiness)... Compassion on the contrary can indirectly help us in assisting others too towards their pleasure.... Be it growth or be it happiness it is not fulfilling in spiritual term if it doesn't happen with others....

For instance, if I quote an example... Diwali (festival of lights) which just went by.. Assume, only we are privileged to illuminate our houses where our surrounding is not in a state to decorate and illuminate their homes.. How happy or contended will we feel in such a scenario??? Most of us wouldn't feel truly happy as how much ever we fool ourselves that we are only self contained, the SPIRIT within us is always looking at us doing something profound, as that is the real happiness we all seek.

Thus, it is fabulous to follow passion and being passionate about something but if we lose out on compassion, we are only fooling ourselves with the pseudo happiness we derive.

Choice is ours..

It's not very difficult to inculcate compassion in our lives to get that magical feel of divinity..

Here’s to the wild ones. Here’s to you...

Here’s to the fallen, the broken and the shattered. To the warriors who know that to be cracked is to let the light in deeper. Who know that the best fruit is on the very tip of the branch and the brightest jewels are hidden within the roughest of surfaces. Here’s to the ones intoxicated by the burning of the winds of change in their lungs and who live in the lands that others fear to tread. Here’s to the ones who raise their voices to the heavens even though they don’t always know the words. Here’s to the rare beings who walk the road less travelled, taking the adventure that rises on this path with purpose and passion. Here’s to the rebels, the heartsick originals, and the bittersweet loneliness that fuels their spirit. To the ones who won’t conform, back down or step aside. To the ones who were not born to fit in but to gloriously stand out. To those who are here to be midwives of the genuine. Here’s to the awakened ones whose purpose is to f...

6 situations in a relationship when it’s worth lying

Sometimes lying. In some cases, lying can help you cheer up your partner or even may save your life. 1. When you leave an aggressive partner. If you have decided to get out of a destructive relationship and you’re preparing to step back, you’re free to lie. Your main task is to draw his attention to save money, to gather your things, to make contacts with people who will help you get out of this relation. The aggressor’s reaction is unpredictable if he understands that the victim is escaping. Therefore, it is better to stay alive and healthy than fair and honest. #2. When the partner asks, “Have you ever loved someone more than you love me?” If you have not previously agreed on absolute honesty, then answer “no”. Let’s admit that there was a stronger feeling in your life than the current one. Who will feel better if you tell the truth? #3.
