A matter of speech

There is always a learning
From every conversation
For it is a dialogue
Not a monologue…

Once I was having a conversation
With a well read corporate lawyer
In the depth of discussion
I casually said,
‘Anyways it’s fine’
And quickly, although polietly he says,
” Mam don’t get me wrong,
It’s not, ‘Anyways but anyway’
I thanked him for sharing without hesitation but in confidence.

While in formal situations of writing or speaking this is the proper way, in casual use of language Anyways works alright as well.

After all its just a matter of speech.

The choice of when to use it so, is yours to know and take…

Anyway now, I stand corrected.

I share this so anyone who also says ‘anyways’ in slang can self correct, if they choose to… for there is always room for a little self improvement.

After all…
We are what we learn
We are what we imbibe
We are what we share.

To learn is to share and to share is to learn some more.

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.

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.

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!

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..

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 🙏

On Prayer

 

What is a Prayer

A prayer is a conscious thought

A prayer is also a connectedness through  the spirit

 A prayer is a journey beyond the mere physical and emotional realms

 A prayer is a reminder of our source to access whenever, wherever …

 

A prayer is a shift in perspectives

 A prayer is a deeper look into the self 

A prayer is a reflection in positivity.

 A prayer is an innate tool towards subtlety

A prayer is a step towards conscious awareness

 A prayer is a bridge of acknowledgement

 A prayer is a bow of acceptance

 

A prayer is a trustful disposition 

 A prayer is a healing calmth in  despair and devastation

 A prayer is a joyous amalgamation to the divine within

A prayer is a call out in troubled times 

A prayer is within reach and beckoning

 A prayer is a helping hand from within…

A prayer is union of thoughts words and deeds

 A prayer is a foray into tenderness

A prayer is a poise of Grace 

 A  prayer is an expansion of the kindness of  the spirit

A prayer is the strength of the indomitable will

A prayer is an innate form of expression

 A prayer is a poise in humility

 A prayer is much more beyond the folded hands  bowing

A prayer is a Soul conversation 

 A  prayer is a meditation in action…

 A prayer is a realisation of the stillness of your being 

A prayer is a journey within the breath of life…

A prayer is a power of moving hearts 

A prayer is unity in the diversity 

A prayer is a grounding  in rootedness 

A prayer is a realisation of equanimity 

A prayer is a silence beyond the verses 

A prayer is a song from the heart

A prayer is a soulful dance in tandem with divinity 

A prayer is a thanksgiving in gratitude!

Conscious Awareness

Sanskrit Sloka

यत्रैव यत्रैव मनो मदीयं
तत्रैव तत्रैव तव स्वरूपम्।
यत्रैव यत्रैव शिरो मदीयं
तत्रैव तत्रैव पदद्वयं ते॥


yatraiva yatraiva mano madīyaṃ
tatraiva tatraiva tava svarūpam।
yatraiva yatraiva śiro madīyaṃ
tatraiva tatraiva padadvayaṃ te॥


Wherever is my mind, I find your real form. Wherever is my head, there reign your holy feet.

A few musings..

When you arrive at being able to see

The true essence of nature

In alignment with the Source coder

When wherever the mind wanders

Consciousness follows…

There is awakening in realisation.

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 …:))

Awakening the self

When you arrive at being comfortable
At ease no matter the seeking and the knowing
At peace no matter the circumstances
In equanimity in the wisdom of the interconnects
You are awakening yourself…
To the profoundness of you.
In the subtlety of consciousness
Resides the truth of it all.

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?

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.

Meet life.

Meet life in the eye
See the light it shows

Meet life in this now
Understand there is always a reason why

And then trust enough
To meet it with enthusiasm to live
So you can meet the miracles in this now.
