Peace Matters More

We all fight…

For what we believe to be right

Yet sometimes we need to see

What is happening in and around us

Are we building or destructing?

Are we going to the point of no return

Engaging without rethinking

The point of it all…

How many battles do you wish you had backed out?

How many do you wish you had withdrawn?

How many arguments do you think you could have avoided?

Have you felt totally drained after a war of words?

How many times have you sensed the pointlessness of such a debate?

Sometimes it’s better to withdraw than fight

When you sense the futility of war

Be selective what you choose to focus on

The choice rests with you

Choose peace over war

For peace matters more.

The Wisdom Of Letting Go

“By letting it go it all gets done. The world is won by those who let it go. But when you try and try, the world is beyond winning.” – Lao Tzu

Trying to win is good

But when that very trying

Is consuming the life out of you

Would you think it over?

We teach ourselves

To try and try until we win

But there is always a point of tipping over.

Knowing when to bend so you do not break

Is a lesson in letting go…

When you are able to discern the detachment dispassionately

When you are able to rise beyond comparisons & competitions

When you are able to sense the contentment in what you have

You are meeting your true Self

For you are able to acknowledge in acceptance

The truth of what truly matters

In the learning to let go

You have witnessed there is abundance

In the circles of being there is always more

What is, was and will be

Always has a reason yet to understand

There is wisdom in the letting go!

Play of opposites

In the play of opposites
Life continues to churn out
The magic that is within us all
As we bring out the best of ourselves
We inspire another for some more
One thing leads to another they say
Such is the circle of life and living.

Learning to live

Are you feeling you are trying to live

Between the raindrops?

Or maybe you feel

You are surviving between the rapids

For life is not always a bed of blooms.

Is there a trick to the whole process?

To thrive from between to the beyond

To live through the unfolding journey.

Waltzing through without warping up

Smiling throught it all

Singing the song of hope than remorse

Question yourself

Is it just a matter of priorities

What truly matters after all?

What makes for a life

That’s worth its while?

All one needs to do is experience the journey

Because the destination takes care of itself!

Life

One who knows the worth of life

Cannot afford to waste

Even a single moment of life

Care to take a step

Towards a more meaningful life.

Every now is awaiting your awareness

To envision the potential within

Every new day is a gift of possibilities

Care to make today count!

Tweak your approach tweak your life

Your approach changes everything
The way you live
The way you work
The way you play
Choose to look forward to finding the joy
In whatever you do
If you can find something to better
Something to improve from

Something to grow and expand potential
Then by all means focus on it
Spend time to learn possibilities
Making work  feel better than before
Find the meaning & purpose
In whatever you do
Work to make a positive difference 
Tweak your approach tweak your life

Profound Life lessons

Disciple:

What is poison?

Guru:

When we have something more than our needs it becomes poison. It can be power, wealth, love, hatred or even hunger.

Fear?

When we do not accept impermanence it becomes fear.When we accept impermanence it becomes adventure.

Jealousy?

When we are not ready to accept the goodness of others it becomes jealousy. When we start accepting it becomes a motivational force.

Anger?

When we cannot bear things happening beyond our control it becomes anger. When we start accepting it becomes tolerance.

Hatred?

Not accepting others as they are, turns into hatred. Unconditional acceptance becomes love.

A profound post share in Tamil translated by my dear mother Anjana.

Fractality of creativity

If we were to only reach deeper
Than we know see or believe
Is the truth and begin to accept
And acknowledge the yet unknown
The unfamiliar & the unexplored


Structured to the unstructured
The understandable to the inexplicable
Sensations in our emotions.
All vying for our attention
Or even the patterns manifesting itself…

In space continuum
We are opening ourselves
To the spectre of multi dimensions
Possibilities are infinite
Fractality of creativity.

On Gentleness of Being

Life is precious
And so are relationships
Remember, gentle is the way 
When you walk with another
There is much you do not know
You never know the hidden truths
For some wounds are deep and invisible.
So walk gently, care sincerely live lovingly

Magic of New Beginnings…

One of my favorite quotes:

“Tomorrow I’ll think of some way… after all, tomorrow is another day.

Scarlett O’Hara in Gone With the Wind

This post is a dedication to a hopeful spirit.

No matter the calamities

No matter the challenges that come along…

In moments of deep despair

Know there is light around the corner

When the night turns dark

Know the dawn awaits full of light

Keep the faith & trust there is always more

In the infinite abundance

When one door closes

Another opens they say!

Keep the hope alive in your heart

And trust the magic of new beginnings💙

Align in the Flow


Speaking of opposites at play
Between the expansion and contractions.. Between the conflicts and clarity

The dance of the heart and mind goes on
Only to meet somewhere midway in peace
And adjusts itself in the circle of life.

After all there is a place and space
For every manifestation
Somehow everything aligns in the flow

A Face

A little bit of freetime and a mobile phone art app in your hand can make the moments come alive…

I started to paint the screen with all my favorite colors… but then somehow somewhere in between I sensed a face pop and I continued to sketch away at leisure and found a face staring righton .

Now the face was somewhat serious and I just could not gel with that, as the moment was anything but that, so I just had to play with my fingers on the screen just a bit and lo and behold that face was more appealing to me now.

It’s a work in progress…Yes I could have gone on refining this piece,there is a lot of room for it, but somewhere I just stopped adding more to it ,perhaps I might pick it up in posterity and paint some more.

P.s Must mention I used no stylus, just my fingers for this one. I thoroughly enjoyed creating this piece of art.

How did you like my mobile art ?

Which face resonates with you today?

Heartprints of Serendipity

How intuitive are you?

Do u sense the subtlety

In nature and its mystical ways

Of sending signs and symbols your way?

For you to understand perspectives

Beyond assumptions & notions

To create an insightful vision

Of the unfolding realms

Of the possibilities in the potential.

There is always a reason

Why you are gifted with intuitive intellect.

Consider ways to use it for goodwill

Think larger, widen your perspectives

For the world at large

Can you use this subtlety of knowing

And leave heartprints of Serendipity?

Partner with peace

Value of power of peace within you…

Today in this moment
Are you ready 
To partner with peace
Do you have the power
Of a grateful  heart
That knows to live light
And waltz in harmony with life!

Path of Equanimity

Peace begins in our hearts

In our actions in awareness

Peace spreads its wings

Unfolding its magic

Interspersing the seeds of peace

In the hearts of humans

When we embrace ourselves

With all our conflicts and chaos

With our inexplicable challenges

We embrace the peace

Already deeply embedded within

In between and betwixt

The rest and movement

Peace regenerates itself

In the middle path

Peace finds its balance.

In the path of Equanimity
