Beautiful quote
Life is just too big. it does not stop if something goes wrong in it at some point of time. At the same time it is too short to fullfill all your dreams, if you have vision and potential to achieve.

Achyutam Keshavam
Achyutam Keshavam Krishna Damodaram,
Rama naraynam Janakivallabham,
(praising the Lord Krishna, with different names of Vishnu)
Kaun kehta hai Bhagvan aate nahi
Bhakta Meera ke jaise bulate nahi,
(Who says God does not come? You don’t call Him with the devotion of Meera)
Kaun kehta hai Bhagvan khaate nahi,
Ber Shabri ke jaise khilate nahi, … Achyutam …
(Who says God does not eat? You don’t feed him like how Shabari fed him)
Kaun kehta hai Bhagvan Sote nahi,
Maa Yashoda ke jaise sulate nahin,
(Who says God does not sleep? You don’t make him sleep like how Mother Yashoda did)
Kaun kehta hai Bhagvan naachte nahi,
Tum Gopi ke jaise nachaate nahin, Achyutam…
(Who says God does not dance? You don’t make him dance like how Gopis did)
Naam Japate chalo kaam karte chalo
Har samay Krishna ka dhyaan karte chalo
Yaad aayegi unko kabhi na kabhi
Krishan darshan to denge kabhi na kabhi …..Achyutam …
(Keep praising the Lord, continue working ... Remember Him all the time. Krishna will appear one day or the other)
In Hindi -
अच्चुतम केशवं कृष्ण दामोदरं,
राम नारायणं जानकी बल्लभम ।
कौन कहता हे भगवान आते नहीं,
तुम मीरा के जैसे बुलाते नहीं ।
कौन कहता है भगवान खाते नहीं,
बेर शबरी के जैसे खिलाते नहीं ।
कौन कहता है भगवान सोते नहीं,
माँ यशोदा के जैसे सुलाते नहीं ।
कौन कहता है भगवान नाचते नहीं,
गोपियों की तरह तुम नचाते नहीं ।
नाम जपते चलो काम करते चलो,
हर समय कृष्ण का ध्यान करते चलो ।
याद आएगी उनको कभी ना कभी,
कृष्ण दर्शन तो देंगे कभी ना कभी ।

Someone might need you
A nurse took the tired, anxious serviceman to the bedside.
"Your son is here," she said to the old man.
She had to repeat the words several times before the patient's eyes
opened.
Heavily sedated because of the pain of his heart attack, he dimly saw the
young uniformed Marine standing outside the oxygen tent. He reached out his
hand. The Marine wrapped his toughened fingers around the old man's limp
ones, squeezing a message of love and encouragement.
The nurse brought a chair so that the Marine could sit beside the bed.All
through the night, the young Marine sat there in the poorly lighted ward,
holding the old man's hand and offering him words of love and strength.
Occasionally, the nurse suggested that the Marine move away
and rest awhile.
He refused. Whenever the nurse came into the ward, the Marine was oblivious
of her and of the night noises of the hospital - the clanking of
the oxygen tank, the laughter of the night staff members exchanging
greetings, the cries and moans of the other patients.
Now and then she heard him say a few gentle words. The dying man said
nothing, only held tightly to his son all through the night.
Along towards dawn, the old man died. The Marine released the now lifeless
hand he had been holding and went to tell the nurse. While she did what she
had to do, he waited.
Finally, she returned. She started to offer words of sympathy, but the
Marine interrupted her.
"Who was that man?" he asked.
The nurse was startled, "He was your father," she answered.
"No, he wasn't," the Marine replied. "I never saw him before in my life."
"Then why didn't you say something when I took you to him?"
"I knew right away there had been a mistake, but I also knew he needed his
son, and his son just wasn't here. When I realized that he was too sick to
tell whether or not I was his son, knowing how much he needed me, I
stayed."
The next time someone needs you ... just be there. Stay.

TEMPORARY SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE.
