As I celebrate Christmas this year, I have one question in mind which I can’t resist sharing. This question has been there since my childhood but I never really cared more than the gifts I was expecting. If Santa is real, he must be a child, with dreams and fantasies as vivid
as the ones I used to have when I was a kid. Else how'll he know about all my wishes.
Here it goes – Who is my Santa Claus? Can he be a child?
A name that fills up the heart of every child with joy, who else could it be but not a child. So, did Santa get all the gifts he wished for, if he is really a child?
There are gifts that people all around the world are giving to us every day, through their prayers, blessings and love. We just don’t know about them until the time comes. So what we have and what we are, is a gift from the Santa in every living being. That Santa for me is the child inside all of us who wants to share everything and in return wants just one thing as a token of gratitude – A Big Smile!
This Smile is the gift Santa wishes for, all the time. So the next time someone does something for you, consider it as your Christmas gift and feel grateful to the one who gave you that gift. I’m sure this will motivate you to give more gifts to others and become their Santa. And if you are looking for gift suggestions, here are a few of them.
To your enemy, forgiveness and respect.
To your opponent, tolerance and a fair chance.
To your close ones, gratefulness in the form of love.
To your customer, the best service.
To everyone else, your prayers.
And to yourself, belief!
I completely agree with the words of Mary Ellen Chase –
“Christmas, children, is not a date. It is a state of mind.”
This is the state of mind we should be in, all the time and not just one day. So, what I’ve realized this Christmas has helped me enhance my last year’s statement (read “My First Blog”).
If life is a box of gifts, and all of them are within me, then the sole purpose of my life is to open those gifts and share them with everyone. And the best way to share them is to gift them, because the more I’ll give, the more I’ll get. As long as I do this, I’ll be able to satisfy him - the child within me!

The One!
This is a tale of its own kind
With energy that completely took over my body and mind,
The moment when all lies reflected back as truth
And I saw someone with a unique fire-filled look,
Vanquishing all evil and sparking a new life
Angels, Gods and all Divine beings alike,
It was the day I saw someone else in the mirror
It was the day I met Him Face to Face forever!
Of all the generations and millenniums
Of all the people and religions,
Omnipotence, Omniscience, Omnipresence
It was an instant when it all made sense,
This was the moment and this was the place
When my every birth flashed upon my face,
It was the day I saw someone else in the mirror
It was the day I met Him Face to Face forever!
The clouds and skies with their thunder and lightning
The nightingales and peacocks with their singing and dancing,
The oceans and springs playing and clapping with water all around
The mountains and hills joining hands to bless the world surround,
The stars, galaxies, nebulae across universe
All twinkling and shining in the rhythm of a verse
It was the day I saw someone else in the mirror
It was the day I met Him Face to Face forever!
I could see blossomed flowers of every color
A light bringing upon a wave of new fervor
The heaven and the hell, all merged as one
I could see everything without any lights on
All the troubles gave way to a mysterious smile
I could feel the wind of change blowing from a mile
It was the day I saw someone else in the mirror
It was the day I met Him Face to Face forever!
I then realized…that it was never about what I could,
It was always about what I should!
And all I’ve been searching for, my only goal
Is Peace and Happiness within my Heart, Mind and Soul.
It was the day I cried the most
It was the day I laughed the most,
It was the day I saw someone else in the mirror
It was the day I met Him Face to Face forever!
It is my belief that there are some unfilled promises and unseen miracles that have been assigned to each one of us. Every birth, we try to accomplish some of them as per the will of the One. It’s our duty to submit to this will and understand the purpose of this life. The Mantra is within us, known only to the One within us.
Let’s try to connect with ourselves, with the ENERGY that has been creating and driving our soul through eternity.
Let’s try to learn from the lessons we’ve learnt across ages.
We are all One and will always be One. Our Lives are not just to be lived, they are to be lived for………. the One within!
