All That You Seek Around You Already Have Within You
All the knowing
That you may need
You have enough
Seek your truth
Around and within
You are enough
Already all is within you
Have trust hope and faith
Within you all is awaiting
You to know, You.

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 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!
Savvy
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!

If I were to keep feelings aside
I would perhaps become cold
And impersonal
Perhaps I may function perfectly
Like a robot.
Wonder if I would be well at all
For feelings are a great balancer.
To repress our feelings
And take decisions would make our decisions lopsided.
I am therefore I feel
I feel therefore I am.
Whether it’s personal or professional decisions, our feelings do make a difference and play a role in our decisions. We can perhaps bring to awareness how we are feeling in the Now and use this mindfully to bring a sense of balance in our thoughts & actions. But to think or say, we can be completely devoid of it is not necessarily true for we are built in such a way where our emotions, feelings and our thoughts in every moment is deeply interconnected, in more ways than one.
Feelings of empathy compassion and acts of kindness are deeply entwined.
How you are being in the now has much to do with how you are feeling.
To do anything well you need all of you & your senses to come together. How we choose to act upon our feelings and in what manner will depend on us.
Awareness is the key.
Do share your thoughts…

Today is a new day…
Like a flowering tree blooming everyday, with hopeful buds
Make a promise to yourself to live and greet each day with enthusiasm.
Yesterday is gone by and today is a new day…
Let not your past
Come in the way
Of all that you are
Leave yesterday
And live today.
For your present
Is what matters
The past is lived
And this now
Is yours to live.

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
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!
Savvy
Shine your light
The light of you
That comes through you
Your voice your truth
Your speech your words
Your work your authenticity
Your moves your way
Step into your light
Step into your place
Fill it with all of you
For none can fill this space
There is no other like you
For you are unique.
In your own way
Shine on.

Keep the flame burning bright
Rise up to the moment at hand
Have hope feed the faith
For the day is not done.

Your yesterday may have seemed very tough
Your entire body may have taken a toll
Your head and heart may have felt heavy
Your eyes may have welled up in tears
Your emotions choking you
Your breathing may have been constricted
Your muscles may have felt tight. Your steps laboured and dragging
Perhaps a sense of resignment may have reigned all through the day…
Yes it may have been more than you could handle
But handle you did
For you are alive and kicking.
Today your heart is lighter
And you are breathing easy
With a song on your lips
And a dance in your steps
Your body willing
And in enthusiastic spirit Looking forward to another day
To put in your very best
And make it another great day!
The question is then, what is happening in you, one moment to another
And what are you doing to alter the effects of the moment.
And what actually alters everything.
Simply put, your own thoughts
And the power of your choice
Choosing one thought over the other.
Trust life to show many colours every day but know you have the choice in how you choose see and perceive it.
Every day can be good or bad day…
But it’s in the way you chose see it… That changes the day!

Today is Gurupurnima. And I take this occasion to thank my mother my first Guru & all the teachers in my life for the learnings in the sharings as well.
The fish which swims in water, doesn’t know that it’s end will come by its food only.( Ignorance)
How much ever beautiful the deer be, the tiger doesn’t appreciate its beauty, it is behind its taste. (Pride, arrogance)
Translation from Tamil by Anjana
There is no pride in Beauty
It matters not, in times of survival
The frog becomes prey to snake by its sound only.(boasting)
In spite of knowing it will get killed , the scorpion bites ( haste)
The way to one’s downfall is ignorance, pride, arrogance, boasting and haste.
Anjana
Adding my musings to it this morning…
The wisdom of Mindfulness
Ignorance may not be bliss after all. There is no pride in Beauty
It matters not, in times of survival
Your so called assets can be a weakness
That makes you and marks you out.
Without mindfulness
Moves become meaningless
For one move can decide life’s fate
Without survival tactics
Life cannot exist.
Beauty pride vanity speed
Gifts & Riches of any kind
Abilities and skills…
Be it your voice or earnings
Mistake not these your strengths.
For true strength
Is discretion And discernment
In what how when and where.
And in moderation & mindfulness
Lies the Wisdom Of Balance.
Savvy
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.
Savvy
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.
