How important is spirituality in your life?

The darkness that has arisen inside a human being due to materialism can be dispelled only by the light of spirituality. Spirituality makes a person internally empowered and you can cultivate good conduct , virtue, self-discipline, respect, dignity etc through it.

A spiritual person is full of kindness, honesty, empathy, and forgiveness. The God who is residing in every one will become manifest when a person is pure hearted. If there is dirt and dust on a mirror we can’t see our image. So ignorance and wickedness are the dirt and dust that are on the mirror of our heart.

Selfishness is the chief sin, thinking of ourselves first. I will eat first, I will have more money than others, I will possess everything, I will get to heaven before others etc is the thinking of selfish man.

The unselfish man says I will be last, I will even go to hell if by doing so I can help my brothers. The person who has more unselfishness is more spiritual and nearer to God. And if a man selfish even though he has visited all the temples, seen all the places of pilgrimage and painted himself like a leopard, he is still further off from God.

How do you practice self-care?

I am the only child of my parents, form very young I used to live alone even today if I am at home I can spend 23 out of 24 hours alone in my room. As my parents get older I can feel the heat of responsibility on my shoulders.

Being an adult sometimes comes with overwhelming responsibilities. You must have to be conscious of about yourself to care your physical, mental, spiritual and emotional health. And you have to maintain a fine balance between them.

When you have to decide the direction of your future alone, then the whole responsibility of its planning and execution is also yours. Then there is no one to interrupt or correct you when you are wrong and no one to appreciate you when everything is going good.

Self care ensuring you get enough sleep every night or stepping outside for a few minutes for some fresh air. It can also mean taking the time to do what we enjoy or you feel relaxed. Talk to the person you like most and spend some time with parents.

This year’s global theme, ‘Yoga for One Earth, One Health’, underscores the profound connection between human well-being and ecological balance.

The event aims to promote yoga as a powerful tool for physical vitality, mental clarity, emotional peace, and spiritual harmony all essential in fostering a sustainable and healthy world.

Yoga is India’s gift to the world, developed over thousands of years ago and practising it leads to the perfect harmony between the mind and body, man and nature.

Yoga is the staircase which leads one to the experience of vedanta. Which explain the wholeness, fullness, or completeness of life, this is an ultimate stage of self realisation and it will achieve by meditation.

We practice different Asanas, which are the component of Yoga, albeit the most physically-centered part, and means pose, posture, or manner of sitting.

Asana, or postural practice, has been shown to tremendously benefit muscle tone, flexibility, blood pressure, back pain, arthritis, and the immune system.

It’s time to celebrate the anniversary of my blog ‘Rang-Rivaz’. It’s an opportunity to reflect on the blog’s journey, appreciate its growth, and potentially plan for the future.

WordPress give me lots of new friends with the same area of interest. These people taught me a lot with their excellent ideas and thoughts which they express on this blog. I really learn here only how to write a blog.

Regular writing a blog is a creativity, it’s not a easy task, it’s a challenge. On this occasion I appreciate all my fellow blogger for their creativity. At last I want to thank my friends who support and appreciated me.

What’s your favorite thing about yourself?

I hope one day everything will be in my favour, this gives me confidence and that results to be calm even in the worst situation. That tolerence is like a water tank, everyone has their own tank and is responsible for topping up the tank with the water of patience. With this water of patience the tank starts to over flow and tolerance becomes abundant.

Many people want to prove that they are right, that the other person is wrong. A tolerant person never needs to prove anything. The truth will always out is a very old proverb and if I understand it then I can accept others exactly the way they are. Let me be the one to change my attitude towards others and be more loving, kind and understanding.

Flowers continue to grow and blossom even though weeds are beside them. In the same way I am living in a world where there are people around me who are so different, yet how do I respond to them? My strength is in not how I respond, but how I adapt and adjust.

How do you want to retire?

It’s a curious journey
Undeserving to worthy
Enquiry to glory

No confidence to more confident
No interest to good habit

Introvert to extrovert
Comfort to effort

No opinion to expressive
It’s ok to impressive

No clue to hopeful
Dull to youthful

Suffocation to empowerment
Criticism to compliment                                           

Rawness to experience
Nothing to satisfied career

Nostalgic to energetic
Ugly to systematic

Mad to calm
Sad to glad

Pressure to stress free
Narrow to carefree

Inspire to retire
Start to end.

Describe one of your favorite moments.

I don’t know why, this happens many times in life, after someone leaves, we remember sweet talks and small things about him. You can’t forget even a single moments spent with him. And the heart is like a nomad which is looking for a place to stay.

If you managed to hold the dissonance, and resisted the urge to force two things to make a perfect sense. When a friend makes a mistake, the friend remains a friend and the mistake remains a mistake. If you easily seperate these two then separation can be avoided.

Nobody likes making mistakes. They feel awful in the moment. They mess with your confidence. But looking back, some mistakes shape you more than your biggest wins ever could. When you succeed in saving a relationship, you win the battle of life.

What is your favorite season of year? Why?

The season which makes me
feel good about myself
The reason why something
exciting happen inside me

The leaves change colours
It dazzle me every time
But please you never leave
don’t change like a season

Best wheather is when it’s
neither too cold nor too hot
Long term relationship is when it’s
neither too much dispute nor trouble

A walk under a cloudy sky when
beautiful flowers adorn the trees
Renounce your rowdy nature and
come with me with calm mind dear

It pleasant to be thoughtful at
edge of window during rainy day
The season of love begins when
your hand is in my hand forever.

What’s the one luxury you can’t live without?

Recently we celebrate World Environment Day which is observed annually on June 5, this UN Day brings together millions of people across the globe in a shared mission to safeguard and restore our planet. This World Environment Day 2025 mobilizes commitment, action to end plastic pollution globally.

Our environment is constantly changing so does the need to become increasingly aware of the environmental issues that are causing these changes. With a massive increase in natural disasters, warming and cooling periods, and different types of weather patterns.

Environmental issues are the harmful effects of human activities on the environment. These include pollution, overpopulation, waste disposal, climate change, global warming, the greenhouse effect, etc.

So we all have to aware about environmental issues and try to take a strict action against them with the aim of establishing a balance between man and the environment. So I can say we can’t live without a neet and clean environment, it’s a natural luxury for us. We all need a sustainable development.
