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.

Be to Become
Be all that you can
To become all that you want
Becoming what you want to be
Is a journey in time
Of highs and lows
To become is to envision
To intend consistently
The very same vision day in and out
To persevere time and time again
Without losing sight of your intent
To be passionate about what you are
To have patience in waiting
As you inch closer and closer
To become what you want to be.
And trust, what you are meant to be
Will always find a way!

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!

The Dance & The Dancer
How can you separate the dancer from the dance?
For there is no one without the other
Body and soul united in spirit.
When the two meet there emerges energy
In unison of the cohesive oneness
The heart knows what the mind speaks
And mind tells what the heart wants
In the dance of the lead and follow
There is no one without the other.
There is a draw of passion
There a pull of power
And there is the push of purpose
To flow as one in the moment of the now!
Embedded is the dance in a dancer
Embalmed is the dancer in the dance.
Savvy
All of you
Play like a child can and be ready for wonder
Work like you are truly invested in it
Dance to embody the truth of you
Love with all of your heart and soul
Live like there is no tommorow
All it takes is all of you!

Shake it off & Step up
Sharing an interesting read that came my way today… Life is to thrive
One day a farmer’s donkey fell into a well. The animal cried loudly for hours, while the farmer tried to find something to do to get him out.
Finally, the farmer decided that the donkey was old and the well was already dry and needed to be covered anyway; that it really wasn’t worth pulling the donkey out of the well..
He invited all his neighbors to come help him. They each grabbed a shovel and began to throw dirt into the well.
The donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly loud. Then, to everyone’s surprise, he quieted down after a few shovelfuls of dirt.
The farmer finally looked down into the well and was amazed at what he saw… with each shovelful of dirt, the donkey was doing something incredible: It was shaking off the dirt and stepping on top of the dirt.
Very soon everyone saw surprised how the donkey reached the mouth of the well, went over the edge and trotted out…
Life is going to throw dirt at you, all kinds of dirt… the trick to getting out of the hole is to shake it off and use it to step up. Each of our problems is a step up. We can get out of the deepest holes if we don’t give up…
Use the land they throw you to get ahead!!!
Remember the 5 rules to be happy:
- Free your heart from hate.
- Free your Mind of distractions.
- Simplify your life.
- Give more and expect less.
- Love more and… shake the dirt, because in this life you have to be a solution, not the problem.

There is no other like you
For you are unique.
In your own way

Habitually Angry?
When was the last time you got really angry?
Just a while ago, yesterday, few days ago, a week a few months or can’t remember the last time you were really angry?
There are many causes of anger and often, the root is in irritation, frustration neglect or abuse or even unfairness.
Often anger comes and goes…
But when you are unable
To let go of habitual anger
It’s a path of distress
That leads to self destruction
Anger poisons the mind & body
Leading to rage when out of control.
Yet, its part of being human.
Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.
Buddha
When anger has an emotional attachment and it gets difficult to let go easily. Mindfulness then is the path to emotional freedom.
Seneca the ancient Roman philosopher had a very relevant remedy for anger… He said, the greatest remedy for anger is delay.
How you choose to channel your thoughts
And effectively manage anger
Is what makes all the difference.
How do you express anger?
Are you assertive or aggressive?
This is what matters more
More importantly when angry
Can you say what’s on your mind
Can you even speak in a clear way?
Or are you emotions clouding you?
Perhaps you are suppressing anger
Then chances are it may surge
And unexpectedly so.
So instead, can you channelize your anger?
For then you control your anger
Before it controls you.

Life strings
Who runs your life
Is your life flowing the way you intend
Or is there a possibility
That the strings of your life
Is in anothers hand?
Question your self
In whose hands are your life strings?
As a child you may have your parents
That hold the strings for your self protection
As a teenager you may have questions on the strings itself
And then as a young adult many other strings may have come into existence
Some for a season, a reason or a lifetime
Then growing some more
These strings may have felt like a pull and push from all directions
Getting ahead a few more years
Some you may sense getting weaker
And some may have got stronger
Growing older and perhaps wiser
Of things as they were
And as they are…
A life lived
To fulfil a purpose
Is it yours at all
Or is it another’s dream
After all
In your head and heart
You may have the truth
Of a life lived
A stringed existence.
From innocence
To rebellion
From learning
To curiousity
From understanding
To accepting
And in the sharings.
And knowingly or unknowingly
In awareness or without
We come alive and die
Infinite tines
In the many moments
In our lives…
It’s a stringed existence after all.

A photo inspired poetry
9 :28 4rth of July India
While I wrote this piece yesterday seeing the photo inspiration , I am also aware that I had this thought on the truth of freedom many times.
What do you think on freedom within a stringed existence?
Are you in the drivers seat of your life
And if so what are the things you have compromised or have contended with to drive on…
Truth is in the meaning and purpose of the stringed connection.

Tune in
As you dance
Tapping your toes
To your own heartbeats
Life senses your rhythm
And waltzes along with you,
The joy of life
Manifests itself
Tuning into the melody of the harmony.
Creating music that beats in the synchrony.

Faith Love Truth
Master your mind they say
Before it masters you
Acknowledge the truths of life
For mind is full of thoughts
Creating countless thoughts
Know the value of mindfulness
Being mindful is about self awareness
To master the mind
Master your thoughts
Become aware of this now.
Whatever is this moment
Sense it and you breathe in it
Feel it and be alive in it
For the truth is in every moment
What you decide to do in this now
Has power to change and rearrange
Your state of being.
Life is precious
Have faith and trust
Stay hopeful in every breath.
For the truth is you can.
After all the mind works
On what you feed it.

The Parodox of Beauty 2
Beauty is what beauty feels
Continuing in a series on Life and Living … The subject of Beauty brings to mind its paradox As mentioned in my last article I would like to reflect on this with my readers and fellow writers and work in collaboration towards a certain consensus if attainable .
Here is a beautiful reflection of the thoughts of this reader who starts by visualizing in the vebalisation of the beauty in the elemental awareness of nature and culminates her standpoint in the beauty of nurture…
Of a mother and child and the beauty in a loving heart.
Thank you to my dear mother Anjana for your exemplary examples. Rest assured I certainly will be reading these lines often.
“Anything that pleases the eye is beautiful..How much exquisite or breath-taking the physical beauty may be… it’s just skin deep. Beyond that all is same.
A wise soul has this awareness. Though the elements may be the same, their arrangement makes the difference. But there is beauty in the wilderness too.
The dancing flames of fire, the eruptive flowing and glowing lava of the volcono, the blowing sand making patterns on the sands of deserts, the mystery that lies in the underground caves, in the depths of the oceans, in the vast space that surround us , there is beauty in everything. A thing of beauty is a joy for ever.
Above all beauty has a connection with love in the heart. Even the so assumed ugliest child looks beautiful to it’s mother. After all beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. Can anything be more beautiful than a compassionate and kind heart that sees goodness in all.”
The lines above have an sensitive emotive and reflective quality which is engagingly beautiful to me.

On Thoughts Beliefs & Awareness
Thoughts and beliefs
On power of belief :
When you deeply believe
You are bound to manifest
In the deepest intentions
Such is the way of creation
And the power of belief
On memories & thoughts:
Your memories are your thoughts that arise
They are a vision a feelings of things that were…
But in the power of belief they begin to have power over you. Your emotions come into play.
On Awareness of thoughts
But in your depth of awareness you realise thoughts come and go, then you also realise that you are above your thoughts and therein you begin to sense your limitless self.
