In the depth of silence

In the depth of silence
Is the dance of stillness
Unfolding untold stories
Echoing in pathways as destiny
Are dreams of the masterplanner

Embracing the solitude
Gracing the silence
There is a hush
Without a whisper
A painting evolves
Sparking the soul

As the brush gently glides
Texturing  a tapestry of weaves
Of infinite intentions
Forging the known and unknown

Finding the souls sanctuary
Setting the cadence
Through the choice of the soul
Aligning the narrative
In the quietude of the inner balance
Destinies entwine.

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

Strength of the Soul

Never does the human soul appear so strong as when it foregoes revenge and dares to forgive an injury.
Edwin Hubbel Chapin

The strength of the soul
Is in allowing the fluidity of the flow
Of acceptance of possibilities.
In the flexibility of feelings
To adapt to the changes.
In foregoing retribution
And forgiving the past. 
Evolving in the flow.

On Richness

How do you know
you are rich?

Amazing answer
by an IIT student.

When I was doing my
B. E. there was a Professor who used to teach us ‘Mechanics’.

His lectures used to be very interesting since he had an interesting way to teach and explain
the concepts.

One day, in the class, he asked the following questions:

1. What is ZERO?
2. What is INFINITY?
3. Can ZERO and INFINITY be same?

We all thought that we knew the answers and we replied as following:

ZERO means nothing.
INFINITY means
a number greater than any countable number.

ZERO and INFINITY are opposite and they can never be same.

He countered us by first talking about infinity and asked, How can there be any number which is greater than any countable number?

We had no answers.

He then explained the concept of infinity in a very interesting way, which I remember even after more than 50 years.

He said that imagine that there is an illiterate shepherd who can count only
upto 20.

Now, if the number of sheep he has less than 20 and you ask him how many sheep he has, he can tell you the precise number (like 3, 5 14 etc.).

However, if the number is more than 20, he is likely to say “TOO MANY”.

He then explained that in science infinity means ‘too many’ (and not uncountable) and in the same way zero means ‘too few’ (and not nothing).

As an example, he said that if we take the diameter of the Earth as compared to distance between Earth and Sun, the diameter of earth can be said to be zero since it is too small.

However, when we compare the same diameter of earth with the size of a grain, diameter of earth can be said to be infinite.

Hence, he concluded that the same thing can be ZERO and INFINITE at the same time, depending on the context, or your matrix of comparison.

The relationship between richness and poverty is similar to the relationship between infinity
and zero

It all depends on the scale of comparison with your wants.

If your income is more than your wants,
you are rich.
If your wants are more than your income,
you are poor.

I consider myself rich because my wants are far less than my income.

I have become rich not so much by acquiring lots of money, but BY PROGRESSIVELY REDUCING MY WANTS.

If you can reduce your wants, you too can BECOME RICH at this very moment.

This interesting forward came my way today and I wanted to share this with a few musings on the same lines…

Being rich is living life exploring and discovering all your possibilities of your potential

Being rich is being able to realize the potential of you.

Being rich is being ready to sense the abundance that is.

Money is not necessarily the only factor for your worth.

You are rich in knowing your worth.

Be enriched in health wealth & prosperity but most of all be rich in the heart and mind.

In realization of the contentment of what you have, you are truly rich!

Zen of Oneness

In the unison
Of the mind& body
Is the integrity
Of the Spirit & Soul

Oneness eases itself
In alignment
In the divinity
Is the state of zen

Journey On

This poem is truly special to me. For one it was written during my first solo trip to Greece.

I am thankful to Spillwords.com for publishing my poem.

Much of what I describe here, I felt while I was there, as if I had been there, and I deeply sensed it all in that journey.

Journey on… 🙏

Are you OK?

The person who tries to live alone will not succeed as a human being. His heart withers if it does not answer another heart. His mind shrinks away if he hears only the echoes of his own thoughts and finds no other inspiration.
Pearl S. Buck

Nurture life nurture living
Care for one another
Each of us need one another
For we are not meant to be alone
We are meant to live and love
In this life we have.
This world is meant to coexist.

If each of us take a step
To reach out as humans
To nurture life and living
In love & compassion
In empathy & care
To be humane and inclusive
As simple as checking
With those closest to you.
Asking them a single question
Are you OK? And truly listen.
Our actions can be transformative
Sending a message of care.
Making the world around us
A whole lot better.

If you find someone lonely
Reach out with this message
In hope and trust in care.

Are you OK?

On teamwork

The challenge in building a team is not just about ones performance, but about sustainability, about  how  best the team can work together.

Then not just about working together  but about how much trust care and respect they have for each other that stands the test of times.

Choice

The power of choice, rests with us
Yet in conscious choices
We acknowledge
The space between the steps…

Of the inexplicable emotions at play
In mindfulness of the heart intelligence
The so called second brain.


In listening to our body mind & spirit
For the body never lies
We tune in to our truths
To make an informed and integrated choice..

Creative capability

Art of creativity emanates from self belief in the creative capabilities within.


Creating anything
Requires trustfulness
Needs effort and focus
And ability to adapt.
A willingness to attempt
Acceptance of errors
And perseverance to go on
To the shifting perspectives
In creative associations
Adding curiousity of a child
Of awe, wonder & joy.

To allow the self
Body mind & spirit
To think like a creator
Is to acknowledge
That within us rests
Possibilities in potential
Of creative capabilities.

The Dance of the Self Arranging Universe

How intriguing are the intersections in interconnects…

In synergy of the energy
Of the harmony in the synchrony
Of life and the living
Of spaces between the steps
The spectre of the spheres
The realms of the cosmos
From one to another dimensions
And what is beyond the known
The illusions in the making.

Yet to understand more
Is to acknowledge the dance
Of patterns of possibilities
Shape shifting formations
Arranging and rearranging
In the infinite potential.

Watch this spectre of the spheres, the dance of the planets Jupiter and Mars around the sun…

On Silence

Silence is the language of the mind in introspection.
It is the language of self analyzation .
It gives one time for self improvement.
The pauses in between can change the course of the situation.
It has many meanings.
Silence is so powerful

When the mind becomes still
Learning to silence even this silent language
Then it fills the soul
With bliss n harmony.
It becomes
A celebration of Silence.
