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.

Travel on…

The journey of imagination
Takes me into the beyond
From nothing to something
From something to everything
And in this travel is limitlessness
In the abundance of possibilities
The unreachables & unattainables
Becoming sublime along the way
Traveling on, with the inate potential
Of infinite beginnings of imagination.

Journey lines

Every path is unique to itself
Every journey creates it’s own pathways
Each phase and stage of life
Enveloping in itself creating patterns and yet,
Embedded and enmeshed
Are the journey lines in the flow..

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 🙏

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.

Ease into the moment

Take that well deserved break  

There is really nothing at stake 

Take a moment to just pause and not lead 

To breathe in ease ,and not rush without heed

Have a seat … relax and chill 

 Watch the world  go by  savouring this moment now at your will

You rushed enough, to more than keep up with time

Time is eternal … is wisdom sublime

Sense the moment that is the Now.

Future will be fine ,every moment just care to love

It as it is, knowing  that it is this present

That matters in this very moment …:))

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

Thoughts & us

Art by Savvy Raj

We are what our thoughts are.

God came.

Ask me whatever you want.
Ten people asked their desires

First one
Countless money & a big business to run

2nd one

The most powerful position in the world

3rd one
I need fame & fortune like a topmost world famous actor

4th
I have to become the most beautiful person that the whole world becomes mad after me

Like this each of the nine people asked their desires which God gave them immediately.

The tenth person asked
I want the most contented , peaceful & blissful stage which a man can achieve.

The rest of the 9 looked at him laughing.

Peace of mind, contented heart.

For that only we asked whatever we wanted . When we get whatever we wanted peace & contentment will follow.

God looked at them and said I’ve given whatever you all wanted. Now you all can go.

The He turned towards the tenth person and said,
‘you wait here. I need to talk to you. I’ll come after some time. ‘ He left.

Now the rest of the 9 hesitated & stayed back so anxious to know what God is going to give him.

In spite of getting whatever they wanted they became jealous over the man who has not got anything till then.

As time passed, their anxiety grew & they forgot to enjoy what they have got. There went their peace & happiness.

The tenth man waited patiently. He became so peaceful & content that God is coming to talk with him.

Who are we.
The tenth person or
the rest .
Decide.

Our thoughts decide who we are.

Translation from a Tamil social media share by my mother Anjana.

Have shared my artwork here for I felt it was apt for the story above, in depicting the 10th man who is at bliss and peace in the merging of thoughts in divine consciousness.

Spirit Ablaze…

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,
And the fire ablaze, in the spirit of my soul.

The fire within, I nurture ,
As 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,
And I wonder of 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, awaiting the purpose of life.
With the spirit ablaze in my beating heart.
