Sponge Heart

There is a profound Croatian saying

by Tea Obrecht –

“Is your heart a sponge or a fist?”

What is your first thought on this?

The human heart is continually operating as a muscular pump, contracting on average 80 times per minute to propel 9 tons of blood through body tissues each day.

Heart is a resilient organ

It keeps on beating through life.

In a lifetime it acts like a sponge

Yet it squeezes itself in every beat

Cleansing to regenerate itself.

Heart is resilient as a fist

Yet open to receive & share love

Heart is intelligent in its intuition

Courageous and compassionate

Caring loving and humane

For after all humanity is heart centric.

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.

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.

On purpose

Like every thing in the Universe
Has a reason to be…
Your purpose is intelligent
It is embedded in the flow
Such that it’s meant to be
To flow through you
Till you realize you are the flow
And you are enough for you!

Life the divine teacher

To the divine teacher
Called Life.
Who continues to teach
Until the lesson is learnt
Who tests us at the most unexpected moments.
In the many paths that lead us home
Who is the teacher of true meaning of freedom
From assumptions & limitations to true liberation
To develop our awareness & resilience.
To thrive on in this moment from now…
Namaste🙏

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 🙏

Infinite possibilities

Touch beyond the feeling
Sense beyond the seeing
Move beyond the doing
Listen beyond the hearing
Engage beyond the working
Give beyond the gaining
Think beyond the worrying
Play beyond the winning
Blend beyond the bordering
Involve beyond the training
Share beyond the owning
Will beyond the trying
Help beyond the supporting
Heal beyond the treating
Flow beyond the envisioning
Care beyond the loving
Dare beyond the comforting
Explore beyond the limiting
Reach beyond the knowing
Live beyond the existing…
Know Infinite is the truth of being!

Truth of Meditation

Happened to read a profound quote share of Lao Tzu, from
The Tao Teh Ching by my wonderful blogger friend Eddie Two Hawks here https://wp.me/p16fFF-6Ic

Here is my contemplation based on the quote

Close the doors..
Of the chaos of thoughts
Of unnecessary judgements
in the making
Close the doors…
Consciously in the noticing
In mindfulness than mindlessness &
overthinking.
This is the truth of meditation
In all its simplicity
And in all its profoundness.

Lens of compassion

When you look at other people through a lens of compassion and understanding rather than judgment and jealousy, you are better able to see them for what they are—human beings.” ~ Unknown

The way we see the world
Changes our experiences
Lesser expectations
Greater contentment
Lesser assumptions & doubt
Greater trustfulness
Lesser hopelessness
Greater possibility
Lesser the complexity
Greater the clarity.

On friends & friendships

Friendship…

Happens in the strangest of times
In an elevator, in a parking lot
In a bus, while walking or in flight
As a student  or as a teacher

Friends may come and go
To make you live life a little better
Think a little deeper with care
Value these gifts strewn in your life.

Friends make you see your worth
Because they want you as you.
Not an imagined version of you
So be you as you are in friendship.

Find time for a good friend
Whenever you both sense and feel it
Turn not your back on them
Know, friends are coming your way

Embody the light of friendships
Savour the joy and nurture friends Time and time again
They can be yours for lifetimes.

One positive thought.

It takes but one positive thought when given a chance to survive and thrive to overpower an entire army of negative thoughts.
Robert H. Schuller

One positive thought
The power of positive
Adds life to the years
Firms up the faith
Heals with hope
Brings trust in time
Makes us believe again.
So much to live for
Than simply languish.
Such is the power of positive thinking…

Steer your life for the better
Think a positive thought

Well here is mine
I think today is a beautiful day

Care to share a positive thought
in this now?

What face do you want to choose?

In the journey of life, love appears, it shows many faces…


Love is matter of perspective.
It can pick the color of one’s mood.

It can make us generous.
It can make us selfless.
It can make us strong.
It can protect.
It can bind us
It can make us happy & can bring us bliss and blessings.
It can do magic and wonders.
It can make us feel light.


Another face of love

It can be possessive.
It can make us  jealous.
It can make us angry.
It can make us weak
It can hide the loved one’s faults.
It can blind us
It can make us vengeful.
The extreme negative expression of love is hatred.

Choosing it positive or the other way is in our hands.
Which face do you want to choose ?

Divine love can make you see light.
Embodying this light, keep the journey on.
The path will be illuminated.
The journey will be a blessing.
Keep the love and light in your heart,
To make this journey pleasant .

A poem by my mother Anjana
