WHAT ARE THE SEVEN MOST BEAUTIFUL WORDS YOU WOULD LIKE TO REMEMBER IF YOU  WERE TO FORGET SPEAKING AND YOUR LANGUAGE?

TO THIS QUESTION FROM KHALIL GIBRAN, HIS TEACHER, WHO LOVED HIM, COULD REMEMBER ONLY FIVE:  GOD, LIFE, LOVE, BEAUTY AND THE EARTH.

KHALIL GIBRAN CORRECTED HER SAYING: YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN TWO THINGS WITHOUT WHICH ALL OTHERS ARE USELESS. AND THEN HE SAID: I, YOU, DEDICATION, GOD, LOVE, BEAUTY AND THE EARTH.

As human beings, we are always destroying these essential home-truths which should have been our most beloved things in this life.

Do we believe in ourselves?

Do we believe in the second person?

Do we believe in sacrifice?

Do we believe in God>?

Do we believe in Love?

Do we believe in Beauty?

Dp we believe in the Earth?

Answer in every case is NO. A BIG NO.

THE BIG QUESTION IS: HOW CAN WE MAKE OUR LIVES HAPPY?

THE BIG ANSWER IS: BY MAKING OTHERS HAPPY.

THE BASIC FUNDA OF ALL HAPPINESS IS:

A SENSE OF BELONGING.

A SENSE OF ATTACHMENT

A SENSE OF FORGIVING

A SENSE OF HELPING

A SENSE OF SHARING

A SENSE OF FEELING

A SENSE OF TOGETHERNESS

IF WE CAN LEAVE OUR POSSESSIVENESS, OUR OBDURACY, OUR PASSION, OUR EGO,

IF WE CAN RELEASE THE LIFE FORCVES WHICH WE HAVE HELD TIGHT IN OUR MIND,

IF WE CAN FLOW LIKE A RIVER, LIKE WIND

IF WE CAN FLY LIKE A BIRD

WE CAN DO ALL THIS, PROVIDED WE HAVE A LIGHT HEART

A LIGHT SOUL

A MIND GLOWING

A SPIRIT FLOWING

IF WE HAVE LOVE FOR MANKIND

AND A DESIRE TO BURN FOR GIVING LIGHT AND LOVE TO OTHERS

WE CAN ENJOY THIS LIFE.

AND THE PEOPLE AROUND WILL LOVE US TOO.

LOVE IS THE CARDINAL PRINCIPLE.

IF YOU CANNOT LOVE, YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO LIFE ON THIS EARTH.
