Illusions in my head are like bubbles,
flying with the pace of the wind
some fly high & some quite low .. .. ..

[Think] : Clarity

The one who has a clear aim, is able to win the cooperation from others too.

Contemplation:
When we are doing something with a clear picture in our minds, others will
naturally cooperate. If we ourselves are not sure of what we are doing and
why, we will not be able to receive their cooperation. So we first need to
make sure in our minds our own clarity of our journey and destination.

Application:
When I want the cooperation of others in what I do, I need to make sure
that I am sure of what I am doing. I first need to be clear in my mind of
what I want to achieve and I will find others helping me automatically.
Situations too start fovouring me. In other words, I am able to make best
use of the resources available to me.

Imagine [ A Perfect Circle ]

Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try.
No hell below us,
above us only sky.

Imagine all the people
living for today...

Imagine there's no countries,
it isn't hard to do.
Nothing to kill or die for,
no religion too.

Imagine all the people
living life in peace...

You may say I'm a dreamer
but I'm not the only one.
I hope someday you will join us
in the world as one.

Imagine all the people
sharing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer
but I'm not the only one.
I hope someday you will join us
in the world as one.

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can?
No need for greed or hunger,
a brotherhood of man.

Imagine all the people
sharing all the world...

You may say i'm a dreamer
but i'm not the only one.
I hope someday you will join us
in the world as one.

[Think] : Alertness (Ability To Transform)

To be alert is to have the ability to transform.

Contemplation:
When we are alert, we are naturally able to recognize the indication
that situations are giving us. We are able to pick this up, realize what
needs to be changed. So we are able to transform easily and quickly.

Application:
When I find difficulty in changing something, I need to alert myself
and make myself aware of the change that is required. A little re-thinking
and checking will enable me to crystallize the change required and make
effort accordingly. So transformation becomes easy.

" Frozen In Time "

Sometimes some moments of mine get

"Frozen in time"

{ Head LocK }

Stupid talks i get to hear, quite often that turns mee off ..asusual
ezz
i dont know! some people dont have listening skills at all ... or
they have heads locked with no key they just do it intentionally now
for the purpose of making a situation!
and this is becoming a habit now .. as they say

" Idiots speak because they have to say something.
Wise men speak because they have something to say."

Thought of the day :

"If u dont like something about yourself,
change it. If u cannot change it, accept it."

[Think] : Alert (Free From Repeating Mistakes)

The one who is alert is the one who is free from repeating mistakes.

Contemplation:
Mistakes do happen, but we must keep our heart happy and have the
courage for the future. Whatever happens there is always a lesson to
be learnt which would be useful for the future. When we keep ourselves
alert and learn in this way, we are able to enrich ourselves and also
move forward with courage.

Application:
At the end of each day let me think of all those things that didn't go
right and see what I have learnt from them. When I am sure that I have
learnt something I will understand what has happened was for the good.
When I am alert to my own mistakes and learning I will never repeat
what I have done wrong.

{ Just A Pin Prick }

Ok
"Just A Pin Prick"
There'll be no more
But you may feel a little sick.

[Think] : Alertness Comes

Alertness comes from a calm and clear mind.

Contemplation:
Situations do bring a lot of challenges for us, but where there is fear
or worry while facing them, there cannot be clarity in the mind. So we
cannot be alert to the solution that is hidden. On the other hand, the
one who has a clean and clear mind is able to see the solution hidden
within every problem and so is able to achieve success quickly.

Application:
When faced with a problem I need to look for the solution with a clean
and clear mind. I need to make special effort to clear mind of all
waste and negative, specially about the problem itself. That means I
might for sometime have to even stop thinking about the problem and
allow my mind to dwell on something more positive. This will naturally
allow my mind to come up with the right solution.

The Reason [ Hoobastank ]

The Reason I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
That's why I need you to hear

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

and the reason is you
and the reason is you
and the reason is you

I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you

[Think] : To Make The Best Use

To be alert is to make the best use of the available resources.

Contemplation:
Difficult and challenging situations come to us in a way that we don't
recognize the positivity but only are able to see the negative aspects
in them. So we sometimes find it difficult to do anything to change the
situation. Having a practice of being alert to the positive aspect of
the situation helps in dealing better with the challenges.

Application:
Having a practice of seeing only the positivity in situations helps us
at times of need too. A long time of practice helps us even when the
situation is seemingly something negative. We become alert to the
little resources that are hidden and are able to use them well to
better the situation.

I've Seen [Outlandish Feat. Sami Yusuf]

I've SeenI wish you were here
Here next to me
Been missing you so
So desperately
But lately I feel
Like you feel and
I see what you see
How I’m missing you

What happened to the ummah
Once known so well…

I wish you were here
Here next to me
Been missing you so
So desperately
But lately I feel
Like you feel and
I see what you see
How I'm missing you

What happened to the ummah
Once known so well
Greatness was known
But now can u tell
Used to inspire others with our way of thinking and speech
People came from afar just to hear us teach
Yo what happened to the ummah
Once known so well
Greatness was known
But now can u tell
Mosques are empty, refrigerators are stocked
We lost our deen we feel secure
'Cause our mansions are locked
In my teen years salah wasn't really that tight
Now I gotta pray each one of them twice
What happened to the ummah
Once known so well
Greatness was known
But now can u tell
Brother we prefer light skinned women
While righteously maintaining our deen against racism
What happened to the ummah
Once known so well
Greatness was known
But now can u tell

I wish you were here
Here next to me
Been missing you so
So desperately
But lately I feel
Like you feel and
I see what you see
How I'm missing you

What happened to the ummah once known so well
Greatness was known, but now can u tell
Kids in Africa are starving – can't afford to cry
I'll pay bank interest for a car I can't afford to buy
What happened to the ummah once known so well
Greatness was known, but now can u tell?
We used to smile at each other, with faces full of light
Now we frown at each other, we bicker and we fight
Pops in the mosque praying, kids in the streets hating
Kids on the corner selling, pops in the mosque preachin'
What happened to the ummah once known so well
Greatness was known but now can u tell?
The Quran has left out hearts stranded, hanging on out walls
6232verses, so strong
9 out of 10 of us can’t even read or write
1924 feels distant like way before Christ

I wish you were here
Here next to me
Been missing you so
So desperately
But lately I feel
Like you feel and
I see what you see
How I'm missing you

Que le pasó a la maza
Como puede ser
La grandeza conocida
No la puedo ver
He visto como mi figura cae en tentación
A pesar de que la vida a sido buena con luz e ilusion
He pedido perdón por mis pecados
Tengo la cruz sobre mi cama y el diablo a mi lado
Que le pasó a la maza
Como puede ser
La belleza conocida
No la puedo ver
He sentido incompetencia buscando la verdad
Todos dicen conocerla solo veo la maldad
Que le pasó a la maza
Como puede ser
La pureza conocida
No la puedo ver

Translation:
[What happened to the people
How can it be
Greatness was known
But now can you tell
I've watched myself fall from grace
Even though life has been good, filled with hopes and dreams
I've asked forgiveness for my sins
I have the cross above my bed and the devil by my side
What happened to the people
How can it be
Beauty was known
But now can you tell]

If I was to fall on my knees and ask you to forgive everything for the Lord, out of Love, for the One, oh oh oh... I've seen
And if u were to fall on ya knees and ask me the same
Brother, don’t even think about it, lets just break out of the darkness of ignorance

I wish you were here
Here next to me
Been missing you so
So desperately
But lately I feel
Like you feel and
I see what you see
How I'm missing you …

[Think] : Alertness

Alertness comes with an awareness of the importance of time.

Contemplation:
When we are able to recognise the importance of time, we'll know how
important life is. We would understand the fact that each moment offers
something more significant than what is apparent. This perception
enables us to make the maximum use of the present moment, finishing
carelessness and bringing alertness.

Application:
If I find myself caught up with thinking about the past, I must become
alert to the beauty of this moment. I need to remind myself of the
fact that it is only the present that is in my hands, neither the past
nor the future. When I have the aim of utilising the present moment in the
right way, I will be tireless in my efforts.

Look Into My Eyes [Outlandish]

Look into my eyes
Tell me what ya see
U don't see a damn thing
Cuz u can't relate to me

U blinded by our differences
My life makes no sense to u
I'm the persecuted one
U the red, white and blue

Each day u wake in tranquility
No fears to cross your eyes
Each day I wake in gratitude
Thankin' God He let me rise

Ya worry 'bout your education
And the bills u have to pay
I worry 'bout my vulnerable life
And if I'll survive another day

Ya biggest fear is getting a ticket
As ya cruise your Cadillac
My fear is that the tank that’s just left
Will turn around and come back

Yet do u know the truth of where ya money goes
Do u let the media deceive your mind
Is this a truth that nobody knows
Has our world gone all blind
Yet do u know the truth of where ya money goes
Do u let the media deceive your mind
Is this a truth that nobody knows
Some one tell me

Oh let's not cry tonight
I promise you one day it’s through
Ohohoh my brothers
Ohohoh my sisters

Oh shine a light for every soul
That ain't with us no more
Ohohoh my brothers
Ohohoh my sisters

See I've known terror for quite some times
57 years so cruel
Terror breathes the air I breathe
It's the check point on my way to school

Terror is the robbery of my land
And the torture of my mother
The imprisonment of my innocent father
The bullet in my baby brother

The bulldozers and the tanks
The gasses and the guns
The bombs that fall outside my door
All due to your funds

You blame me for defending myself
Against the ways of my enemies
I'm terrorized in my own land
And I'm the terrorist

Yet do u know the truth of where ya money goes
Do u let the media deceive your mind
Is this a truth that nobody knows
Has our world gone all blind
Yet do u know the truth of where ya money goes
Do u let the media deceive your mind
Is this a truth that nobody knows
Some one tell me

Oh let's not cry tonight
I promise you one day it’s through
Ohohoh my brothers
Ohohoh my sisters

Oh shine a light for every soul
That ain't with us no more
Ohohoh my brothers
Ohohoh my sisters

American do ya realize
That the taxes that u pay
Feed the forces that traumatize
My every living day

So if I won't be here tomorrow
It's written in my fate
May the future bring a brighter day
The end of our wait

Oh let's not cry tonight
I promise you one day it's through
Ohohoh my brothers
Ohohoh my sisters

Oh shine a light for every soul
That ain’t with us no more
Ohohoh my brothers
Ohohoh my sisters

Una Palabra [One Word]

Una Palabra [One Word]

One word contains nothing
And at the same time
It contains everything
Like the air contains water
Like the flowers contain the mire

One look contains nothing
And at the same time
It contains everything
Like the rain on your face
Or an old map leading you to some treasure.

[Think] : Open To Mistakes

To be open to mistakes is to enable others to strengthen themselves and
progress.

Contemplation:
When there is respect for others there is actually an environment that is
created in which they can strengthen themselves and grow. The one who
has this elevated consciousness is not caught up with others' weaknesses.
On the other hand, he is able to encourage them to use their specialties.

Application:
When I see someone working with his weakness, I need to think of one
speciality in that person and relate to him with this speciality. Also I
need to draw his attention to it and slowly I'll find him getting stronger.

The Strangest Thing [George Michael]

Take my life
Time has been twisting the knife
I don't recognise
People i care for

Take my dreams
Childish and weak at the seams
Please don't analyse
Please just be there for me

The things that i know
Nobody told me
The seeds that are sown
They still control me
There's a liar in my head
There's a thief upon my bed
And the strangest thing
Is i cannot get my eyes open

Take my hand
Lead me to some peaceful land
That i cannot find
Inside my head

Wake me with love
It's all i need
But in all this time
Still no one said...

If i had not asked
Would you have told me
If you call this love
Why don't you hold me

There's a liar in my head
There's a thief upon my bed
And the strangest thing
Is i cannot get my eyes open

Give me something i can hold
Give me something to believe in
I am frightened for my soul, please, please
Make love to me, send love through me
Heal me with your crime
The only one who ever knew me,
We've wasted so much time
So much time

~ Sometimes ~

A strange feeling it is... dont know exactly perhaps a blend of many a things ...
sometimes it's just not the way u want things to move and
sometimes u have no
control over anything.
Sometimes u get hurt and
sometimes u make hurt
sometimes people think they r right
but they dont see what they actually do a strange hypocrisy it is !
