Live one moment in time
Two is too much sometimes…
Love life as it unfolds & stay hopeful.
In sensing
One moment in time.
You feel thankful & grateful
For each lesson learned.

A Perspective of Advocacy
A mind-boggling perspective on Advocacy came my way !! 🙂
College Student Group asked a lawyer
*So what does ‘advocacy’ mean?”*
Lawyer said:
*I will present an example for this!*
*Suppose two people come to me, one is very clean and the other is very dirty. I advise both of them to get clean and take bath.*
*Now you guys tell me, who among them will take a shower ?? “*
One student said: *”The one who is dirty will take a shower.”*
The lawyer said:
*No, but the clean person will do it, because he has the habit of bathing, while the dirty does not know the importance of cleaning*
*Lawyer :: Now tell who will take a shower ?? “*
The second student said: *Clean person*
The lawyer said:
*No, but the dirty person will take a bath because he is the one who needs cleaning.*
*Now tell who will take a shower ?? “*
Two students said: *”The one who is dirty will take a shower.”*
The lawyer said:
*”No, but both will take a bath because the clean person has a habit of bathing, while the dirty one needs a bath.*
*Now tell who will take a shower ?? “*
Now three students speak together: *”Both of them will take a shower.”*
The lawyer said:
*”Wrong, no one will take a bath, because dirty is not used to bathing, whereas clean one does not need to bathe*
*Now tell who will take a shower ?? “*
A student politely said:
*”You give a different answer every time and every answer seems to be correct. How do we know the correct answer ???”*
Lawyer said:
*This is just ‘advocacy’! It is not important what the reality is*
*The important thing is, how many possible arguments can you offer to prove your point.* “😂
One moment to the next
To stay centered in equanimity
Is to be aware of the self in this now
Are we present in the moment?
Are we staying calm to understand
Change is the only constant…
The so called high tides, give in only to recede in time.
The dunes speak of sifting sands of time
Where there were mountains there are plains today…
What seems impossible becomes possible in time.
All is meant to move on
Problems well they come and go
Nothing lasts forever
That is why life is so precious
And every moment must be well lived.
From one moment to next!

Explore your being.
Dare to explore the magnitude of your being!
You are enough for you!

Light reflects light
Every moment that we choose to shine as bright as we can,
We begin to sense the lightness in the being.
In sensing the blessings of light
Light reflects Light!

Waking Up To A New Day!
We are the thoughts we think,
We become believers of our ways
What we do today has always a reason.
But every dawn is full of hope
Awaken to sense its brightness
Care and accept the vividity
Allow space for light to enter.
Much changes in doing the above..
Wake up grateful for this new day!
Wake up hopeful of this new day!

Inks of Hope
In your deepest turmoil
Writing becomes a let out
Words sensed and inked
Can bring balance to living
Such is the power of writing.
When life and living
Leaves scars behind
The pen colours life with hope.
With freshness of perspective
Hope inks itself into existence
And life goes on…

Work from home
Should the Corporates Invade our Homes…?
A youngster was attending a video conference with his Manager who was upset over the background noises. The Youngster turned around and told his grandmother to keep quiet.
She walked towards the youngster, to take a look into what he was doing and saw a person on the Monitor and asked, “Who is he?”
The youngster muted his audio and video and said, “He is my Manager”.
She said, “I want to talk to your Manager”. But the youngster denied. By the time the Manager started pinging the youngster and the youngster unmuted to talk and his grandmother shouted, “Manager I want to talk to you”.
The Manager agreed and the youngster unmuted the video. The grandmother, with a smile said, “Namaste” and introduced herself and the Manager also greeted her.
She said, “You look upset”.
The Manager said, “Yeah, some kind of work tension, a lot of noise around your house and we are not able to complete the meeting in time”.
The Grand Mother asked, “May I help solve your problem?”
Her grandson was stopping her and telling her to keep quiet.
The Manager said, “It’s ok, let her speak”.
The Grandmother narrated, “Once there was a Young man, who sat under a tree for taking rest. He was continuously hearing a bird’s sound. He lifted his head and seeing a bird, started chasing it, so that he could peacefully take some rest. The bird came closer to him and said, “You are taking rest under my nest. I will not ask you to leave this place but you should learn to co-exist with us”.
The Grandmother looked at both of them and said, “Your Home is your nest” where you are supposed to take rest and bond with your dear and near ones. I do understand the Covid-19 situation, but you should also understand that our home is not your office.
*When we come to visit our family members at your office place, we are expected to behave professionally or maintain a certain decorum.*
Similarly, when you are using our home for your office work, you should understand the situation at our home.
There is nothing wrong with working from home, but remember, it is the family members benevolent nature, that is keeping the corporate world functioning today and the economy running.
She looked at the manager and asked, “Am I correct ?”
*The Manager’s mother peeped and said “You are absolutely right”.*
Words of wisdom
The teacher who is indeed wise does not bid you to enter the house of his wisdom but rather leads you to the threshold of your mind.
The astronomer may speak to you of his understanding of space, but he cannot give you his understanding.
The musician may sing to you of the rhythm which is in all space, but he cannot give you the ear which arrests the rhythm nor the voice that echoes it.
And he who is versed in the science of numbers can tell of the regions of weight and measure, but he cannot conduct you thither.
For the vision of one man lends not its wings to another man. And even as each one of you stands alone in God’s knowledge, so must each one of you be alone in his knowledge of God and in his understanding of the earth.
Kahlil Gibran…
One of my favorite writers with profound words of wisdom.
I had been introduced to his books as a teenager but have revisited his works especially ‘ The Prophet ‘ many times just to soak in the learnings.
Learning is best done in willingness & curiosity to explore the beyond.
Teaching is best done in understanding the learnings and the learner.
Learning never stops it is like a river that flows…
The teacher creates curiosity for learning takes you to the river banks of knowledge and then allows you to quench your thirst, assimilate the learning to expand your horizons of learning.

Finding the good…
These are certainly abilities worth cultivating :))
Ability to see the good is a great habit to cultivate
Ability to respect the people for who they are.
Ability to work with diversity of thoughts
Ability to coexist in peace and harmony.
Ability to generate goodwill whenever we can.
Ability to make light of things
Ability to dance in the rain
As much as in the lightness of being.

Learnings in Life.
I loved these lines …
On learning in life.
Life is blessed
In valuing the gifts we have,
In cultivation of skills we are enriched
And life is transformed in the choices we make.
Life is full of infinite learnings
Endless opportunities and possibilities …
Life is how we make it!

For the love of books
A book bound or otherwise
Is a treasure to an ardent reader
Who knows the emotions sensed,
In the company of a good book
Of times, well spent in the joy of reflections.
Reading is a beautiful voyage of discovery… of new learning and associations in assimilation.
Books, that transport us back and forth in time in a moment.
Books, that beckon us to a world of imagination.
Books, that create the magic of words
Books, that speak of truths and illusions
Books, that contain stories of life & living
Have you a favorite book that comes to mind immediately?

Cultivate space…
As we cultivate a space
Within and around us
To listen and observe
To understand and care.
We access the underlying wisdom
As we allow ourselves to notice
The ways of life and living
We come across fresh perspectives
When we allow ourselves to hear
The sounds of silence
We sense our feelings
We accept our emotions
And likewise..
We tune inwards a little more
In this conscious awareness
We practice…
To tap into our intuitive intelligence
In every cell of our being
Speaking through our senses.
To access the powers within.
All we need is to cultivate space.
