On Surrender

Surrender to the divine

Surrender yourself

You will find bliss

For you will sense

The magic of the life

Sense the life in the flow.

With abandon & faith.

You will sense the truth of being…

Acknowledging the good.

Often in the daily grind of life

We begin to take things for granted

Everyone we have with us

Every gift we are given in time

Every solution that solved issues

Every answer that came our way

The light of this day

The bliss of a restful sleep

A smile from a stranger

That made your day

A helping hand when in need

Nurturing home made food

Unconditional love from a furchild

And so much more..

Life gives you much

It’s in us to acknowledge

And recognise the good in our way

And appreciate this now

For all that which you already have!

On Spirituality

Whenever spirituality is discussed… there is always a question as to what is spirituality? And what is its significance in our lives?

Spirituality is a sensing of connection. The first step towards spirituality is about understanding the self as we are and then it’s an understanding of something greater than the self.

Simply put the spiritual significance of our lives is in the way we choose to live our lives.

To me spirituality is a sense of being & becoming a better person than yesterday, in selfawareness,in empathic connection, in being compassionate and kinder human being.

There are many pathways to explore spirituality and it’s unique to each of us.

It’s a pathway to finding the truth of your being and living life lovingly!

From yoga and movement arts to prayer and divination, the way we approach spiritual practices is varied and as unique as us.

What is spirituality to you?

Do you consider yourself a spiritual person?

What are your kind of spiritual practices?

Creators Masterplan

Some times life comes to a still.
That may be be Him testing will.

When we are low,
When we feel let down,
When we feel desperate,
when we feel alone, when we feel all doors are closed,
When life seems to have no meaning,
Never loose hope.

The master plan of Nature,
Is beyond our cognition.
The way will open up,
In any form, any time.
All we need is hope n faith.
Patience n perceverance.
The effort will pay off.
For He knows the right time and the right way.
Cos that’s
His Master plan.

Sharing this message of hope penned by my mother Anjana as a testement of faith and trust in the divinity providence.

Be like a cat

“When a cat falls out of a tree, it lets go of itself. The cat becomes completely relaxed, and lands lightly on the ground. But if a cat were about to fall out of a tree and suddenly make up its mind that it didn’t want to fall, it would become tense and rigid, and would be just a bag of broken bones upon landing.
In the same way, it is the philosophy of the Tao that we are all falling off a tree, at every moment of our lives. As a matter of fact, the moment we were born, we were kicked off a precipice, and we are falling, and there is nothing that can stop it.
So instead of living in a state of chronic tension, and clinging to all sorts of things that are actually falling with us because the whole world is impermanent, be like a cat.”

~ Alan Watts

Being a cat

Is about feeling ease

Not only in body

Built for speed

With flexibility of spine

Creating elasticity

In the cushioning

But also in their brains

Integrating moves creating agility

With remarkable coordination.

And powerful reflexes

Cats are graceful

In acceptance of the flow

There is ease of doing

Which lands them safe.

When you accept

Life is a but a dance in the flow

You begin to ease

In the ups and downs

You know life is a flux

Change is the only constant

You flow with effortless ease

Be like a cat…

When the truth tumbles…

Life as a couple

Has its own challenges

Yet what matters is trust

In a loving relationship.

Trust that makes you feel safe

That makes you sense security

And value for being you.

To be heard, & loved as you are.

Often expectations from one partner

To toe the line and accept everything

Brings in uncomfortable silences

Or unwanted arguments and conflicts

Breaking a relationship gradually.

Perhaps it is about negligence

Or lack of consideration & care

Perhaps it’s about lack of empathy

Or even inequality that creates a gap

That widens in time and cracks

The strongest of partners.

Compromise or need

May keep them staying together

Just existing not living a life.

The show goes on…

Until it one day becomes unbearable.

And the inevitable truth tumbles.

These words above are deeply interlinked in the flow of thoughts that arose after I read a translation by my mother from a Tamil quote forwarded on Social media.

Interesting to note it is from a divorced husband after 10 years of realization.

‘Don’t show your pride before your wife.
She came to you just believing in you
Not your relatives.

My property
My earnings
My will
Then who is she?
What is the meaning of her life with you?

Can’t she have her dreams, her  desires, to be fulfilled with you?

On reading this message

Something more rankled my mind

The question of expectations

To be fulfilled by the partner.

It’s never about needs

Being fulfilled by the other

But with one another.

In todays world

It’s about finding time

To be present in the now

With one another.

How many agree?

Flow

There is commitment in attachment

There is contentment in letting go

For then…

There is connectedness to all

In freedom of the flow.

Wordpower

I pray…

Let the words that pour

Make a meaningful difference

Let the thoughts that flow

From these words empower

To create a change for the better

Think of freedom

On freedom

Think of freedom
As a dance of the winds
Blowing in liberation
Think of freedom
Embracing the glorious now
As the dance of birds flying free.

Think of freedom
As a dance of unshackled souls
Synching with nature
Think of freedom
As they find it in their unique voices.

Think of freedom
Unfolding itself in a tapestry of dreams
Timeless in oblivion
Think of freedom
Uncaged & unbound
Yet contained in its own flow.

For freedom too has its edges
Inspired pauses to sense
The necessity of nurturing
A structure in the chaos.

So think of freedom
Blending in to adapt & mould
This very freeflow to its purpose.
For freedom has its reason to be.

Humanity

A few musings…

Where is humanity in this now?

What does it take for humanity to thrive?

How does it continue to thrive?

Touched by the grace of gratitude

Appeased in the love for life

Moving beyond the self in inclusivity

In thoughts, words and deeds.

Humanity continues to thrive…

In moments of humility, kindness & compassion

In help, care, support & empathy

And yet it takes us all

Each and every one of us

To consistently sustain our humanity.

We are on track

We are on track
Nurturing humanity
In every moment
Through connections
Through art & creativity
To journey into the beyond
From nothing to something
To transcend beyond the mundane
Of notions and assumptions
To envision in empowering ways
Beyond rational thinking
To rediscover aesthetics of truth.

Sky above, earth below, and fire within…

As I stand here,

Under the canopy of twinkling stars in the sky,

Sensing the nourishing earth under my feet,

The fire ablaze, in the spirit of my soul.

The fire within, I nurture

In passion that fuels, my soul

A purpose that ignites, and a will to succeed,

A heart that beats, a dream to be freed.

Watching the sky above, clouds floating by,

Like a bird soaring, I choose to fly

I wonder awed by infinite possibilities,

Until the setting sun, draws the moon at night.

I feel the fertile ground

Sense the abundance of nature

A garden of life,

In every breathing life, is a universe within,

Bountiful beauty, to inspire dreams.

Sky above, earth below, and fire within,

A journey of life, with a prayer in hope

To meet the mornings, the awaiting purpose of life.

With my Spirit afire in my beating heart.

Grateful

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 🙏
