Thoughts & us

Art by Savvy Raj

We are what our thoughts are.

God came.

Ask me whatever you want.
Ten people asked their desires

First one
Countless money & a big business to run

2nd one

The most powerful position in the world

3rd one
I need fame & fortune like a topmost world famous actor

4th
I have to become the most beautiful person that the whole world becomes mad after me

Like this each of the nine people asked their desires which God gave them immediately.

The tenth person asked
I want the most contented , peaceful & blissful stage which a man can achieve.

The rest of the 9 looked at him laughing.

Peace of mind, contented heart.

For that only we asked whatever we wanted . When we get whatever we wanted peace & contentment will follow.

God looked at them and said I’ve given whatever you all wanted. Now you all can go.

The He turned towards the tenth person and said,
‘you wait here. I need to talk to you. I’ll come after some time. ‘ He left.

Now the rest of the 9 hesitated & stayed back so anxious to know what God is going to give him.

In spite of getting whatever they wanted they became jealous over the man who has not got anything till then.

As time passed, their anxiety grew & they forgot to enjoy what they have got. There went their peace & happiness.

The tenth man waited patiently. He became so peaceful & content that God is coming to talk with him.

Who are we.
The tenth person or
the rest .
Decide.

Our thoughts decide who we are.

Translation from a Tamil social media share by my mother Anjana.

Have shared my artwork here for I felt it was apt for the story above, in depicting the 10th man who is at bliss and peace in the merging of thoughts in divine consciousness.

Meet life.

Meet life in the eye
See the light it shows

Meet life in this now
Understand there is always a reason why

And then trust enough
To meet it with enthusiasm to live
So you can meet the miracles in this now.

Know you

All That You Seek Around You Already Have Within You

All the knowing
That you may need
You have enough
Seek your truth
Around and within
You are enough
Already all is within you
Have trust hope and faith
Within you all is awaiting
You to know, You.

Be open to receive

Be open to receive.

Sharing a Tamil story translation by my mother Anjana.

I found this piece written by her today morning and shared as I felt many times we are ourselves in the way of our blessings. There is so much abundance, we are yet not ready to hear, take, care to see, that we miss partaking the joy of having them, often because our own ignorance, ego or lack of awareness comes in the way. All the abundance mean nothing if we are not ready to receive it.

Let’s be open ready to receive…

It was raining heavily. Grand mother was sitting in the verandah and her little granddaughter was playing nearby… So the grandmother told her granddaughter so much water is going waste,so keep a big vessel to fill clean water.

The girl who was playing refused to listen. So the grandmother noticed it and said sternly, Is just keeping the big vessel in the rain a big job? Go and keep it in the open. Grandma ordered. The girl went with half mind.

After some time when it stopped raining, Grandma got up to happily bring the vessel full of water.
She was shocked to see ,not a drop of water was collected.
The girl has kept the vessel upside down , just as it was kept inside!

Of course there was plenty of rain, but the vessel was not ready to collect a single drop.

Same like the Universe is filled with Divine blessings. But our hearts are not open to receive it. If we are ready with open heart the Cosmic Abundance will be in harmony with us.

Tamil Story translation by my mother Anjana.

A leap of faith

A leap of faith
Is what makes life a life.
Take the chances
That you choose to let go.
Be intentional
So that life doesn’t slip away
Take the chance
May be they turn out
The best decision of your life.

They say opportunity does not knock twice.. So take a leap of faith.

So when you hear the calling of your heart & soul…

Trust you can and you can!

Learnings from a tree

Today is a new day…

Like a flowering tree blooming everyday, with hopeful buds

Make a promise to yourself to live and greet each day with enthusiasm.

Yesterday is gone by and today is a new day…

Let not your past
Come in the way
Of all that you are
Leave yesterday
And live today.

For your present
Is what matters
The past is lived
And this now
Is yours to live.

Shine on

Shine your light

The light of you

That comes through you

Your voice your truth

Your speech your words

Your work your authenticity

Your moves your way

Step into your light

Step into your place

Fill it with all of you

For none can fill this space

There is no other like you

For you are unique.

In your own way

Shine on.

The day is not done

Embrace your U- ness

In your uniqueness lies the strength

Of Authenticity

Of Identity

Of Potential

Being you and being true to yourself is the simplest path towards your purpose.

And yet often being you at times can be challenging.

For life can demand much from you and you need to go beyond and bend backwards and forwards to surf through life’s unexpected turns.

But by being true to yourself you are at least sure to have your heart and head in check and balance, where your inner conscience meets your consciousness.

Embrace and embody your U-ness

Tapping into Creativity

An artist may give a shape to thoughts, its destiny is the result of the bubbles of thoughts in the connected flow.

Creativity is in each of us. We are blessed with much we are yet to understand.

Often we neglect the creative side in each of us and don’t find ourselves expressing it away, but tapping into it can open portals of yet unknown possibilities in each of us. And most of all gives us the courage to explore and embrace the unknown.

Learnings in the listening


I listened  to my heart
Every day
As it shares from within
And I write them out as words
Sometimes as verses
At times it’s measured
In moderation.
Its a zen moment
For there is clarity
In just a few words shared.

Then there are times
They flow like a river
A torrent in a current
Patterning itself
In its own making
Words come through me
As if it needs to be spoken
Sharing the sensitivity
Of the moments at hand.


I listen simply with rapt attention.
For in the slightest flutter
In every movement in the moments
Or the depth of silence.
There is always something more.

What’s louder than words?

This world…
Needs no pity
That feels sorry
Nor sympathy
That feels pain.
For feeling sorry
Or sensing pain
Will not solve
The issues at hand.

What one life truly needs from another…
Is empathy
To understand and relate with one another.
And compassion
That cares to help heal.

Whenever wherever
the dialogue changes
From I feel sorry,
To I will help you
Because I care…
The world will be a better place.

For action speaks louder than words.

The Gift

The Gift

We have a gift within each of us.

The gift of life!
It’s ours to take care.
We have another gift in and around us.
It’s in which we are.
The gift of this world!
It’s a gift we have for a while with us.
So that we can pass it on, to our children.
Let’s value the gifts we have.
Let’s remember to sense its preciousness.
Let’s never take it for granted.

For without it nothing is.
