In the vastness of the ocean
Of our beautiful mind
Our thoughts come and go
Like the waves along the way!
All of our thoughts
Which are so full of self
Of what to do
Of how to achieve and accomplish
Makes us centered on getting!
When our thoughts
Begin to shift
To include the rest
In goodwill and trust
For the benefit of all…
The self finds joy
Of giving in gratitude
Thoughts become expansive
As the truth of oneness
Truly manifests itself
Savvy
The way we begin to see the world
Our world shapes itself accordingly
Lets choose to be all that we can be
Cause we can be definitely more
Than what choose to believe…
Lets never feel…
Let care to reach beyond knowing
To consciously expand and align
Our deepest intentions in goodwill.
Lets begin to see the good we have
As well as share that good with others…
Life will begin to become lighter
And we will get wings to fly!
Lets reach our dreams
And create some more…
Remember, all of this can be done
By nobody else but us!
Be all that you can be.

Same piece of sky
That we see everyday
Makes us gasp in delight
Every other day
Showing a new side
Painting the canvas
With vivid color and hues
Patterning itself in a dance
What ever the sky shows
We believe its the truth
Perhaps there is much more
In all its alluring textures…
A piece of sky
Makes you assume
The time of the day
But the perspective shifts,
When you create a barrier in-between
That divides the sky
Into distinctive diverse parts.
We begin to see the differences
We begin to pick our favorites
Colours tones,hues and tints
Associating with the shapes in the sky
Deducing patterns and patches
Divided in our choices.

When you type the word ego…
Ego
A few musings…
Ego & the Dance of Buoyancy
In the case of a human being
The ego is a dance of buoyancy
In the weight of thoughts words & deeds
The being is able to function optimally.
As long as the effect is balanced all is well.
If there is too much flutter
Its perhaps the behavior is creating a stir…
In every human interaction
A discomfort or a delight, talks of ego at play.
Is the ego that is overwhelming
An ego that is self sustaining?
Or is it Self destructing?
All depends on the movements
The trick is to continually balance oneself to stay afloat
Ego is both a boon & the bane of life.
If it is too less life becomes unobservable
If it is too much life becomes unbearable
Life is a dance of buoyancy
Of balancing the ego at play
Every thing has a reason to be.
Savvy
Every thing has a reason to be
Air and Space Water Form
All elements of being
This beautiful world of ours
Blesses us much
So much gratitude
For these elements of life.
We are born of it and we need it to survive
Every thing has a reason to be
The river of time
The water that flows
The shape of things
The spaces we occupy
The air that we breathe
All matters for life and living.
We breathe air to live in space
This air that we breathe
We often take for granted
This air is the gift of earth around us.
We need to value its presence
We need to keep it pure and clean
For what we breathe we are
For our actions depend upon it.
A ship floats in water
Not just because of buoyancy
But because there is air tight space
A space that contains air
A space that aids the displacement
A space that balances the weight
A space that lightens the load
The shape makes a difference
In the way the weight is carried
The shape of the ship makes it float.
Displacing water equal to its weight
Helping it to stay afloat.
Archimedes’ principle, physical law of buoyancy, discovered by the ancient Greek mathematician and inventor Archimedes, stating that any body completely or partially submerged in a fluid (gas or liquid) at rest is acted upon by an upward, or buoyant, force, the magnitude of which is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the body. The volume of displaced fluid is equivalent to the volume of an object fully immersed in a fluid or to that fraction of the volume below the surface for an object partially submerged in a liquid. The weight of the displaced portion of the fluid is equivalent to the magnitude of the buoyant force. The buoyant force on a body floating in a liquid or gas is also equivalent in magnitude to the weight of the floating object and is opposite in direction; the object neither rises nor sinks. For example, a ship that is launched sinks into the ocean until the weight of the water it displaces is just equal to its own weight. As the ship is loaded, it sinks deeper, displacing more water, and so the magnitude of the buoyant force continuously matches the weight of the ship and its cargo.

You show who you are
By the way you treat people…
Especially those who in a way
Have done wrong by you
Who didn’t treat you good
Who were nasty and mean
Who were happy by your loss
Especially these people
Treat them as well as others
Share goodwill from your heart ❤
Without expectations, be kind
Even with the most critical
They will come around.
Just trust in yourself
And your way of being.
Savvy
You have it in you
The choice of what to do
You are your own master
You are capable to choose
What you want to do
You need to own who you are
Your passion, your purpose
Your life, your breath
Then you will breathe in peace
As you begin to own your own breath.

There is always more
Than you can see
What you perceive
Is only a part of the whole
For there much that stays hidden
To the human eye.
Watch the invisible light of flowers https://youtu.be/abVgsgpLWyU
Is it fluidity of the flow or form
That makes them move
With grace and elegance.
This dance of the cow nose rays
Captivates the senses in awe & wonder.

Power of Silence
Emanates in stillness
Between rest and movement
Between words and deeds
Between two spaces…
In the betwixt and between
Is the potency of potential
To emerge in creativity
Silence is full of movement…
There is movement
In the stillness
And stillness
In the movement.

Peace
Whenever we get too drawn into the vortex of living life and whenever it starts to feel like a burden and like there is no lightness in the moments it is perhaps time to take a check on our own way of being. So today I am heart fully sharing my dear mother’s two bits on the way of peaceful life and living… I have re read it earlier for to balance my own thoughts as well.:))
Already a lot has been said and written about this. So many experts in different fields have shown so many ways to attain peace.
Peace- the ultimate human need even after reaching peaks of success in their fields. It eludes even the so called achieved souls.
Humans have various desires and find various ways to fulfill them.
Need for wealth, health, love, knowledge, family , status, fame, power, comforts… . the list goes on. To achieve them they go through various states of hardships n emotional turbulence . Perseverance, hard work, focus and luck help them to achieve their goals. But after attaining all these is one peaceful?
Unfortunately the more one gains, the greater is the loss of inner peace. Loads of pressure weighs down them.
The need for more never get satiated. Contentment is always on the other side of the river.Because our expectation keeps on increasing .
From childhood one has to live to the expectations of people surrounding them and in the process then they grow up, they start expecting the same from all around them .
Whichever field or whatever state they are, there is always expectations. Family , friend, society, teachers, work place, children, lifestyle, appearance, behavior befitting their age n status…expectations everywhere.; either by us or from us at all stages of our life. Again it is endless. Peace still eludes .
Like the most difficult puzzles have very simple solutions , life problems also can be simplified.
Simply working towards reducing and gradually ceasing the expecting from others or living to other’s expectations.
Be yourself , let others be themselves.
Never shy away from our duty or ignore social responsibilities or inner values. Doing without expectations. But it is not easy to transcend basic human nature. More than desires, our expectations not happening cause us more sorrow. All are not yogis or saints. But peace is ultimately desired by all. If every one adheres to practice non expectation, peace will befriend the surrounding .
Do your duty, Be dedicated, Be grateful , Be understanding ,Be helpful, Be kind and compassionate,
Be selfless , all without expectations.
Your due will come to you in its own time in its own way.
Such is Cosmic law.
No expectation –
No disappointment –
No arguments –
No disharmony –
Peaceful existence
With whomever or wherever one be, adopt, adjust & accept. Happiness & peace will follow.
When acceptance becomes our nature the rest become easier.
One word mantra to peace
Live, let live.
Stop Expecting.
Start Accepting.
Live happily.
I think these Seven Pieces of Advice from Rumi, always applies as a gentle reminder…as a way of being.
In generosity and helping others be like the river.
In compassion and grace be like the sun.
In concealing others’ faults be like the night.
In anger and fury be like the dead.
In modesty and humility be like the soil.
In tolerance be like the ocean.
Either you appear as you are or be as you appear.
