The Grass Is…

Grass is as you see it!

The donkey told the tiger: The grass is blue.

The tiger replied: No, the grass is green.

The discussion became heated, and the two decided to submit the issue to arbitration, and to do so they approached the lion.

Before reaching the clearing in the forest where the lion was sitting on his throne, the donkey started screaming: ′′Your Highness, isn’t it true that the grass is blue?”

The lion replied: “True, the grass is blue”.

The donkey rushed forward and continued: ′′The tiger disagrees with me and contradicts me and annoys me. Please punish him”.

The king then declared: ′′The tiger will be punished with 5 years of silence”.

The donkey jumped with joy and went on his way, content and repeating: ′′The grass is blue”..

The tiger accepted his punishment, but he asked the lion: ′′Your Majesty, why have you punished me, after all, the grass is green?”

Truth asserts itself!

The lion replied: ′′In fact, the grass is green”.

The tiger asked: ′′So why do you punish me?”

The lion replied:

That has nothing to do with the question of whether the grass is blue or green. The punishment is because it is not possible for a brave, intelligent creature like you to waste time arguing with a donkey, and on top of that to come and bother me with that question.

Your time is precious!

The worst waste of time is arguing with the fool and fanatic who doesn’t care about truth or reality, but only the victory of his beliefs and illusions. Never waste time on discussions that make no sense…

There are people who for all the evidence presented to them, do not have the ability to understand, and others who are blinded by ego, hatred and resentment, and the only thing that they want is to be right even if they aren’t.

What to focus on ? Choice is yours!

When ignorance screams, intelligence shuts up. Your peace and tranquility are worth more.

On Being Happy

The moment you choose to be happy

No matter where you are

You begin to learn to smile from the heart

You begin to change the way you speak

You begin to listen deeply and be focused

On happier things than the mundane

You evolve and thank life…

Every day a little more in time

Being happy is a choice

And the choice rests with you.

Words to live by…

Live with authenticity

Pretense falls flat some time or the other

Steer clear of dependency,

Dependency create inequality.

Prudence is being always on guard

It is a better form of defense.

Listen to understand

Without trying to prove anything

Avoid the attack mode of offense

Choose to communicate better

Converse calmly create peace

Wherever you are …

Footprints

This Birthday I am deeply grateful for the good energies and wish it likewise for all here.

And I share here,

what I deeply feel about living life and leaving imprints on the sands of time ….


Leave footprints if you must .
On the sands of time in trust
Just remember ….
No footprint is totally foolproof
to be washproof

All is a game
like the tides that tame
Even the strongest surfer …
Eternal to all is time and nothing else
And sparking in the cosmos we are all just wayfarers

Tread softly
Love authentically
Live lovingly
Behave empathically
Speak truthfully
Move consciously
Grow gratefully !

On Trees & Gratitude

Every  tree is beautiful
No matter where it is
But some take your breath away
In the sheer grace of abundance
Of nature’s manifestation.


Speaking  of trees
There is tree that comes to mind
That I used to always be charmed by
In my daily walk while in a distant land
It is a beautiful tree in Rennes France
A glance would be enough to feel
The gratitude welling up in me
For the bounties of nature!
So grateful!

Love

When you love deeply

You begin to respect life

In all forms that you see

You revere the omnipresence

You wonder about abundance in awe

Your life becomes more meaningful

For there is so much more to understand

About Life in the living

You become more present in the moment

Every now has immense potential

And you begin to live than simply exist

Live life lovingly!

Channelling the flow

Whatever you resist persists

Steer away from impulsive resistance

Yes while resistance is natural in life

Resistance may create tension

Yet it can be a signal of change

In channelling this very resistance.

In allowing to let go completely

Soon tension eases in the flow

In perseverance & patience.

In response than reaction

Creating positive transmutation.

In thoughts words and deeds

Sifting & sailing through your perspectives

Till harmony becomes you.

Life gives unto life

Cage not the spirit of a bird
If you truly want to hear
The soul song of a bird


Plant a tree…
For life gives unto life
Such is nature of nature

On Awareness

When the shift is known by the mind
And felt in the heart
Then every thing moves
In conscious awareness.

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!

Invisible Master

When we become conscious of time
It moves very slowly.
When we are immersed in something time flies.
When our thoughts wander on its own
Again time moves fast.
We never know how long we are lost in our own idle thoughts
That time took a backseat.
When we are asked to meditate or observe our breath
Time never moves,
Those 5 minutes never seems to end.
When we know all the answers
Time flies
Whereas when we go blank
Time never cease.
When waiting for someone we love
Time extends
While in their presense it flies

5 minutes or 5 hours
The duration remains the same.
What makes the difference is
our mind,
the master co ordinator
It can bend time at its will
Lengthy or short as it wants.
Make us it’s slave without our own awareness.
We assume what it wants us to think as our own.
Be it time , emotions or our understanding.
Such is the power of this invisible master.

When we learn the
Art of mastering this master
Time stands still.
Seamless transfer of Now
Ever being in the present.
