We were chosen by God’s to be His special possession.

Why settle for a lesser vision? When you are destiny for greatness!

Sometimes it takes a wrong turn to get you to the right place.

Every situation you encounter is necessary for your spiritual journey on earth.

Sometimes life has a cruel sense of humor, giving you the thing you always wanted at the worst time possible.

as jolaha ka maram na jana, jinh jag ani pasarinhh tana;dharti akas dou gad khandaya, chand surya dou nari banaya;sahastra tar le purani puri, ajahu bine kathin hai duri;kahai kabir karm se jori, sut kusut...
