Space for wisdom

Letting go of one’s space

Is not easy

For it is akin to relinquishment.

​Knowing how time and space

And all the other elements

Are never the same again.

​Yet these experiences

manifest themselves

In the journey of life

Perhaps one or many times

​For in that kind of letting go,

The ego of knowing

And assuming dissolves

Yielding space for wisdom.

​Like learning is also unlearning…

​Wisdom is wise in its ways.

It prefers space

And room to evolve

​For it knows only too well

What is, is not all…

​Change is the only constant.

Evolving through it all

Wisdom finds its space to be.

Savvy

P.S.:

These verses found their way to flow, on a particularly quiet dawn in moments of  contemplation.

Sensing how letting go is not easy in our clinging to the past, be it the wins 
or misses and how wisdom needs space to evolve.

And most of all as a reminder  that instead of holding on to the weight of the past, if we only could allow ourselves to be in the lightness of this now…

What is that one thought or habit you’ve had to “unlearn” recently to make room for something new?

I’d love to read your thoughts below.

The Plus Side.

Was reading an article today on how education today has become more and more  transactional…and how it robs the learner of the critical  thinking.

I share my musings…

When education is not a buisness

When learning is not about grades

When teaching is a passion than profession.

Where doubts, perspectives are welcomed

And not sidelined or ridiculed

When questions are not means to an end

Curiosity and wonder will find its purpose…

That I am fond of writing is nothing new after all these years of blogging and writing but as a child, I remember clearly when I was asked by a school teacher to read a  famous poem and share its meaning in class I dared to share a new interpretation to it…that resonated with me.

The teacher then, was not open to a change of perspective… nor ready for a deep dive on why I saw it differently. She simply wanted to finish her work without deviation. I remember sitting down that day, without feedback.

But it didn’t stop me from wonder and writing…in fact I continued to write free verses in time till date.

I write this all, for I have  shifted many schools in my childhood… as my father served in the Armed forces. I have seen upclose the good, bad and ugly side of schooling.

And the plus side is, it certainly has shaped me to be, adaptable and resilient as a person in time.

There is always the plus side…

What do you think ?

Find your space

If you ever find yourself belittled, unable to express  yourself because you are stifled;

Remember…not to shrink.

Trust in your self.

Know there is always a space for you that allows you to grow and evolve

You and your presence matters.

Find your space.

SPARKS OF LIGHT

There are times we sense, how words are sparks of light.

From life and lifetimes lived

Of learnings from being you

That is actually meant to light hearts

Near and far…

We simply need to trust, for words know and find their way.

Keep sparking & sharing your light ✨️ 🙏

Books are life

This morning I started my day with a beautiful book gifted by my daughter to me called… ‘Light from many Lamps.

I was inspired just sensing the light of life in each chapter…

So yes, ‘Books are life’ and I have, had and hope I continue to have all the energy to read some more…

What is your recent read?

Who am I ?

This life I am in,

Is beyond emotions & intellect.

Way beyond feelings & senses.

Beyond the pain & peace of the moment. 

Beyond the pressures of life & living.

Hence I am not my peace.

And I am not my pain.

I am not the height of happiness.

I am not the depth of sorrows.

I am simply me as I am…

In the infinite resonance

In the dance of conscious awareness

A living spark of the cosmos.

Who are you?

Beyond the name, I am the space between the breaths, the sum of my senses.


Beyond words, a witness & the resonance of infinite possibility.

Beyond deeds, I am the dance of life…
Beyond  speech, I am the breath that experiences life.


Life is a gift, granted in this lifetime.
I ground myself in gratitude to simply be.  🙏

Join in with me for a  moment of  alignment…
With the body, mind, heart, and spirit
That houses and helps in evolving the soul.
Infinite thanks to the parts
That weaves us into a whole.  🙏

Ask the self, ‘ Who are you?’

Light is meant to shine

The sky lights up

This morning

In ethereal light…

And in moments

It feels like twilight,

Where light seems engulfed

But it is already dawn.

Perhaps the sun is hidden

For a fleeting while,

Waiting for clouds to pass

Only to shine again.

In this moment

Of in-betweens,

Before light shines

Its brilliance again,

Let me take a moment

To feel the senses

Telling me to ease in to this now.

Breathe the cool wind

And pause to witness

The unfolding play

Of light of day.

The sun is patient

And humble,

Awaiting its turn…

Let me stay patient

And hopeful

In this play of light.

Light is meant to shine.

Was inspired to write these verses this morning as I silently witnessed the unfolding magic of dawn…

Every now is full of learnings awaiting the light of awareness.

In this now…

In this now I inhale peace
In this now I exhale love
In this now I sense calm
In this now I share a smile.

In this now what I can do
Matters than, then & later
For it sets the course ahead
Aligning past with present.

In this now lives potential
In this now, is the power of choice
In every now that is…
Choose well.

What are you feeding your mind?

Master your mind,” they say,
“Before it masters you.”


Acknowledge the truths of life,
For the mind creates
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 this moment is,
Sense it, and breathe in it.
Feel it, and be alive in it.


For the truth lives in every moment.
What you decide to do in this “now”
Has the power to change and rearrange
Your state of being.


Life is precious.
Have faith and trust.
Stay hopeful with every breath,
For the truth is, you can.
After all, the mind works
On exactly what you feed it.

The Game Changer

Often it is in the adversity,

you meet your true strengths.

In the tests of life,

you find your true self.

That which you discover

in these challenges,

arrives in the journey

to steer you on your path.

So hold on, in trust & faith.

For no matter what,

all in not lost.

You will find it in you,

to begin anew. 

In experiences of adversity, 

you meet yourself.

And that’s the gamechanger.

A question to my reader…

If you were to think of the past challenges,what comes to mind as a strength you uncovered about your self that you wouldn’t  have found any other way ?

Creating Resilience

Resilience is developed in time.

In every fall.

In every blow

In every painful experience.

The power rests with you to work on yourself.

Resilience is about nurturing  what is beautiful within you,no matter, while battling  the situation at hand.

Resilience is the art of appreacting the ordinary  moments that you have with you.

Resilience is being able to smile from the heart,  knowing your circumstances dont define you.

In your deepest breakdown there is a choice to emerge  from it stronger.

While resilience is in learning from experiences and  strengthening & refining the self for the better. Resilience is also about allowing life to happen…

Bending when necessary like a blade of grass without breaking  like the mighty oak tree,

Resilience is creating yourself  in such times without fear of the inevitable, for change is part of the flow of life.

Resilience means, you are very much present and it means  you are evolving from your experiences for the better.

In times of being resilience

You become the master of your life.

You steer on in faith

no matter the rudder is way off.

Knowing  you are meant to be, do all that you are ordained to.

Yet resilience m is not blind faith but a faith born out of inner self belief. In knowing  that the road is yet to clear, you are ready for possibilities using the time to see options and new perspectives

You are like an artist creating  something  from what seems to be blank and formless. Yet resilience is full of potential.And in exercising this muscle of resilience  results are awaiting you in trust & time.

Trust that this very resilience is in you and in me and it surfaces in our difficulties to tide us through in time.

What is resilience to you?

When did you last feel your need to exercise your resilience?

Do share your thoughts how you create and develop your resilience muscle.

The Quality Of The Spirit

You are not defined

By riches or possessions.

You are defined

By the attitude you carry.

Anchored in faith

No matter the storm.

You are defined

By the energy you emanate…

In the choices you make,

In the decisions  you take.

Way beyond circumstances.

It is a quality of the spirit.

Greater the refinement,

Greater the grace.

Savvy Raj

A question  in reflection…

When the world outside gets chaotic, what is that within you that keeps you anchored?

The Power of Calm

There is charisma in calm

It’s the power of calm

In life’s highs and lows.

In calm lies confidence

Invoking assurance

Being calm in a conversation

Evokes the energy of stillness

Emits vibrancy devoid of agitation.

In the calm there is depth of  awareness

In the center of calm

Is potential  to assimilate

No matter the chaos

You find equilibrium.

When was the last time you felt the charismatic power of calm?

What does calm feel like to you in this now?

What is the distance  between you and your sense of calm?

Where & how do you think you can find your calm?

The morning moments

My morning  moments have the preciousness of calm for me.I choose dawn to intend the calm for the day ahead. In the quiet moments of dawn where the world is still sleeping, I find my creative state of flow. Although I have been able to connect  with my calm through the day, the vibes of this part of the day resonate so much. The early morning  sets the tone of the day for me.

How do you relate to the calm of dawn?

How do you sense the power of calm?

All in time

Every thought has its own flow
Every word finds its own space
Every space has its own synchrony
Every sound its own frequency
Every element, its own energy
Lets enjoy the space between the steps.
And acknowledge the  harmony in the synergy…

All in time.
