We live in a world where we are interconnected at the intersections .
A world piecing things together rapidly charging forward A world where technology triumphs in everything we do.
A world where there is greater acceptance of possibilities Where potential is being explored in associations A world where art and science are at interlinked at the crossroads Meeting like no tommorow Where art is created by logic and calculations Of a programmed artifical intelligence Where science is more and more accepting of the metaphysical Where science is turning to seek answers in spirituality And Spirituality is discussed scientifically But then in the same breath Is the emergence of the mystics & the art of Spirituality.
You can’t talk Spirituality You got to live it. Often when life takes you far Far away from it…
You got to know The divine that you seek Is with you in every moment Your actions thoughts and words Decides the distance between You and your spiritual self.
A house on a tree? Sure that would be an experience But the way of life Is if you are living on a tree Make sure that within you You plant the tree of Gratitude For life is a circle Circle in with a grateful heart.
There are few gifts Of life in the living Like the joy of laughter Like the happiness of smiles Like the sharing of loving kindness Like the sensing of gratitude
They add to your life They heal your being Body mind and Soul. The more you have it And live expressing it The better the health of your heart.
A good thought A good deed A good laugh And all is well In the lightness of being.
Secret of success A ten year old Japanese boy dreamt of becoming a judo champion. But he didn’t have his left hand. Judo is hard to learn even for a fittest person. What will this disabled boy do.
He went to many masters in vain. Atlast one master agreed. The training started. He taught him a single attack for days together. Months went by. The teacher didn’t teach him anything else. He was disheartened. Master how this one attack is enough. Pl. Teach me more. Master replied, you become expert in this one attack, that is enough. He can’t disobey his master. The training continued.
The championship tournament started. First round. A fully trained opponent n this boy who has learnt just one attack. The boy won to everyone’s surprise.
Second, third, he won till the semi finals. He won that too.
The finals. The opponent has won many championships. He felt pity n rediculance on seeing his one handed opponent. First round started. The boy couldn’t stand the champion’s attack. He fell down. All took pity on him and wanted to stop the competition. The master said, no, he will fight the second round. The champion became overconfident. He removed his helmet and started to fight with a little laid back attitude . The boy attacked the only way he knew with full force. The champion fell down. The boy won the championship. None, even the boy couldn’t believe what happened.
Later, the boy bowed his master and asked him how he won knowing one single attack. Master smiled and said, two reasons for your success. One , you have mastered one of judo’s most powerfull attack. Second, there is only one way to defend this attack for the opponent. He has to catch your left hand, which in your case he can’t.. Your weakness became your strength and made you a champion. The boy stood in wonder and bowed in reverence. If we all know how to turn our weakness as our strength and learn to face life with its challanges success is not far. Life has given every individual a uniqueness. Use it wisely.
A translation of a Tamil forward by my mother Anjana
The person who tries to live alone will not succeed as a human being. His heart withers if it does not answer another heart. His mind shrinks away if he hears only the echoes of his own thoughts and finds no other inspiration. Pearl S. Buck
Nurture life nurture living Care for one another Each of us need one another For we are not meant to be alone We are meant to live and love In this life we have. This world is meant to coexist.
If each of us take a step To reach out as humans To nurture life and living In love & compassion In empathy & care To be humane and inclusive As simple as checking With those closest to you. Asking them a single question Are you OK? And truly listen. Our actions can be transformative Sending a message of care. Making the world around us A whole lot better.
If you find someone lonely Reach out with this message In hope and trust in care.
Art of creativity emanates from self belief in the creative capabilities within.
Creating anything Requires trustfulness Needs effort and focus And ability to adapt. A willingness to attempt Acceptance of errors And perseverance to go on To the shifting perspectives In creative associations Adding curiousity of a child Of awe, wonder & joy.
To allow the self Body mind & spirit To think like a creator Is to acknowledge That within us rests Possibilities in potential Of creative capabilities.
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.
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..
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.
