I AM GRATEFUL
For this moment of peace
In this now I am present
To know it’s preciousness.
And grateful in soulful awareness
That the Universe in and around
Is taking care of everything else 🙏

Sanskrit Sloka
यत्रैव यत्रैव मनो मदीयं
तत्रैव तत्रैव तव स्वरूपम्।
यत्रैव यत्रैव शिरो मदीयं
तत्रैव तत्रैव पदद्वयं ते॥
yatraiva yatraiva mano madīyaṃ
tatraiva tatraiva tava svarūpam।
yatraiva yatraiva śiro madīyaṃ
tatraiva tatraiva padadvayaṃ te॥
Wherever is my mind, I find your real form. Wherever is my head, there reign your holy feet.
A few musings..
When you arrive at being able to see
The true essence of nature
In alignment with the Source coder
When wherever the mind wanders
Consciousness follows…
There is awakening in realisation.

Wisdom of walking on…
To me walking has been synonymous with freedom, and I believe that it is one of the best ways to balance your mind and body every day. I have been enjoying this healthy activity pretty consistently.
Walking is something people take for granted but with the right approach the act of walking can be a friendly support for a lifetime.
But this is about walking and walking on from pride of success so that you create space for more.
There is great wisdom in such a practice.
There is always something
That you would have done
That which you have accomplished
Your success that you are proud of!
However,
What you did yesterday
Cannot be taken for granted
For it is back in time
What ever your achievements
Your accomplishments are yours to know
Yet life is not lived backwards
You can take your learnings
From what is done and apply to this now
For the future is another day
Dwell not in time gone by
Past glory recedes in time
No matter the memory into a distant dot.
Choose to be in this present
For then the hits and misses
Become small matters in the sun
Then no challenge is unsurmountable
For then success and failures
Become stepping stones to learn from
Walk on in this now…

Infinite possibilities
Touch beyond the feeling
Sense beyond the seeing
Move beyond the doing
Listen beyond the hearing
Engage beyond the working
Give beyond the gaining
Think beyond the worrying
Play beyond the winning
Blend beyond the bordering
Involve beyond the training
Share beyond the owning
Will beyond the trying
Help beyond the supporting
Heal beyond the treating
Flow beyond the envisioning
Care beyond the loving
Dare beyond the comforting
Explore beyond the limiting
Reach beyond the knowing
Live beyond the existing…
Know Infinite is the truth of being!

On stress & destressing
It’s not the stress
That is dangerous
But the what we do not do
About the stress that is.
And if we do try to do something the question then is…
Do we really know what we do
Is the right way to destress?
When we suppress
What is stressing us
We are creating pressure
Within us that will burst out in time
When we get angry
Lose out temper
Not only we lose dignity
But we lose our own health
So whether you are a caregiver
Or having chronic ailments
Whether you are feeling burnout
Or finding no way out.
Suppression creates disease
And anger creates heart problems
So between suppression and outbursts
Is a fine edge of balance
To not tilt to the extreme
But to create a pathway to unblock
To vent out without flare ups
To open the door without break it up
It’s all about channeling the flow…
Whether you are battling a crisis
Or feeling lonely on the inside
Whether you are on the edge of rage
Or you feel you have no clue in life…
Remember
There are as many channels as there are challenges
Consider these as a sample of options.
Conversation and dialogues
Socialisation and friendships
Any activity, Art and creativity
Or passion in perseverance.
Workshops and events
Programs, Therapies galore
Hobbies interests, support groups
Community service or mentorship. Education & self learning.
Meditation and mindfulness
Alternative Healing modalities.

Soul to Soul trust to let go.
Sometimes it takes lifetimes
To learn and unlearn
To do and undo
To birth and unbirth
To live and relive
Moving forward in time
Through and beyond
The karmic cycles
Of many a rebirths
To find eternal bliss
Soul to soul
To trust and to let go…

Finding time
Be Happy
To be happy, healthy and fully present in this now.
You simply need yourself
Committed to being all that you can be.
Work on your own self.
To be better than yesterday
Express your light of being
In ways that can make a positive difference.
Be happy as you can be
Know, you are enough for you.
As much as for the world
As you are creating positivity
In and around you.
Be happy.
Savvy.
On determination
To the truly determined
Opportunity unfolds
In the sustained effort.
To learn anything new
Needs dedicated determination
To understand beyond exploring.
In the will and perseverance
Arrives the point of knowing
And learning continues…
For the truly determined
Nothing can stop the learning.

Awakening the self
When you arrive at being comfortable
At ease no matter the seeking and the knowing
At peace no matter the circumstances
In equanimity in the wisdom of the interconnects
You are awakening yourself…
To the profoundness of you.
In the subtlety of consciousness
Resides the truth of it all.

On Meditation
Meditation can help us embrace our worries, our fear, our anger; and that is very healing. We let our own natural capacity of healing do the work. Thich Nhat Hanh
Perhaps often we need reminders
Of our own potential strengths
The capacity to heal from within
That we understand so little of.
Perhaps we haven’t yet explored
The depth of the gift of life we have
To understand the possibilities
Of the infinite abundance within us.
Perhaps we need to seek & connect
To our core being to heal ourselves
Trusting our body and mind
To learn and unlearn the paths
To thrive than just survive.
The art of meditation is a catalyst for growth and change for the better. Where thoughts become still in practice when human differences are welcome and perspectives are valued.
We allow ourselves to have patience and support, to be as we are, in witness mode flowing through life’s many moments in equanimity.
We begin to understand & develop resilience from within, to not be jarred in the rough times and acknowledge the truth our own being.
Would like to extend an invite to a group called Connected that I have created on Insight Timer a beautiful space for meditation.
The art is of meditation has many forms of meditation. And each has its own set of practitioners. The regular practice of meditation is significant for our holistic wellbeing. However like every habit it needs an intention and discipline and in time it become an awareness in flow.

What face do you want to choose?
In the journey of life, love appears, it shows many faces…
Love is matter of perspective.
It can pick the color of one’s mood.
It can make us generous.
It can make us selfless.
It can make us strong.
It can protect.
It can bind us
It can make us happy & can bring us bliss and blessings.
It can do magic and wonders.
It can make us feel light.
Another face of love
It can be possessive.
It can make us jealous.
It can make us angry.
It can make us weak
It can hide the loved one’s faults.
It can blind us
It can make us vengeful.
The extreme negative expression of love is hatred.
Choosing it positive or the other way is in our hands.
Which face do you want to choose ?
Divine love can make you see light.
Embodying this light, keep the journey on.
The path will be illuminated.
The journey will be a blessing.
Keep the love and light in your heart,
To make this journey pleasant .
A poem by my mother Anjana
Songs of the soul
Words flow, as if they are meant to
Everything that is has a reason why
How they come be and for what
Is also it’s own doing in time.
In bits and pieces in the moments
In a downpour like in a storm
As a spark to ignite hope in the dark
To shed light on the invisible.
Words that flow through you
Arrive in the sensing in clarity
And at times vague from nowhere
In verses, prose or lyrics
In a particular pattern
That seems to self arrange
For only those who it matters
Perhaps afor it to be seen and heard
Words live on in their hearts
As songs of their soul
It makes sense to those who care
To read it in their own way…

Thoughts & us
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.
