A circle of hugs,
A give and take of love and affection;
Keep it passing on and on,
And on earth, a divine heaven shall be spun…

Life is a closed loop control system. You take inputs from your environment, from what you read, from your social interactions and from your family and it goes as a feedback into your system, modifying you a little every day. Those who are obstinate are like an open loop control system where nothing affects them. It isn’t really good to remain in an open loop for not only will you be isolated, but also miss out important things in life. It isn’t too wise either to let that feedback system be so strong that you forget your own ideals and principles. A balance is necessary.

Discarded lay all the dreams
In the bin of unwanted things
Till you came and set them free
And, to soar, gave them wings…

Jumbled appeared the messages,
Nothing was sure or clear;
Till I fell in love with Him-
When translucent everything appeared!

The entire quest is for acceptance. You run from pillar to post for being accepted as you are. This quest ends only when you realize that the most important in life is to accept yourself totally, wholly and completely. Unfortunately, that is a long drawn process and it takes time to reach that level. However, once you reach that stage, you are at entire peace with yourself.

Let me breathe You in,
Let me taste the meaning of sublime;
Let my soul mingle with You,
Let me be one with divine!
