The Parodox of Beauty 2

Beauty is what beauty feels

Continuing in a series on Life and Living … The subject of Beauty brings to mind its paradox As mentioned in my last article I would like to reflect on this with my readers and fellow writers and work in collaboration towards a certain consensus if attainable .

Here is a beautiful reflection of the thoughts of this reader who starts by visualizing in the vebalisation of the beauty in the elemental awareness of nature and culminates her standpoint in the beauty of nurture…

Of a mother and child and the beauty in a loving heart.

Thank you to my dear mother Anjana for your exemplary examples. Rest assured I certainly will be reading these lines often.

“Anything that pleases the eye is beautiful..How much exquisite or breath-taking the physical beauty may be… it’s just skin deep. Beyond that all is same.

A wise soul has this awareness. Though the elements may be the same, their arrangement makes the difference. But there is beauty in the wilderness too.

The dancing flames of fire, the eruptive flowing and glowing lava of the volcono, the blowing sand making patterns on the sands of deserts, the mystery that lies in the underground caves, in the depths of the oceans, in the vast space that surround us , there is beauty in everything. A thing of beauty is a joy for ever.

Above all beauty has a connection with love in the heart. Even the so assumed ugliest child looks beautiful to it’s mother. After all beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. Can anything be more beautiful than a compassionate and kind heart that sees goodness in all.”

The lines above have an sensitive emotive and reflective quality which is engagingly beautiful to me.

Cont’d…

Pathways to light

Sabhar The way of patience in waiting

Shukar The way of thankfulness in gratitude

There is great wisdom in these two ways to live life lovingly.
Both are pathways in the ebb and flow of life.

To see from nothingness
Is to see possibilities ahead.
To keep hope alive in your heart. Cultivate faith in patience and trust.

To sense gratitude even when you have everything, Is to know that there is much more than what is visible. You are a tiny speck of the magnificent whole. And no life is less or more important. And that every life plays a significant part.

In awareness there is heartfelt thankfulness in contentment for everything you already have.

As you cultivate these habits every day becomes incrementally  better.
Or perhaps you begin to understand gradually, the power of managing change rests within you.
Stay patient
Trust yourself.
In thankfulness
See the light
You actually are.

A dot called now

Sharing Words of wisdom … from my mother Anjana Radha… A beautiful thought for the day 🙂

‘The “Now” is a dot. in the line – of life. Without touching the dot we cannot connect the past to the future. Just Be in the Now to witness a beautiful connection.The NOW is always present . Like so many dots form a line so many’ Now’s shape life to a beautiful past and a hopeful future. Our conscious awareness gives it meaning and purpose.’
Enjoy the moment:)

Compassionate connections

The path of compassion knows not separateness

Flowing in love of life in lightness

In the sparks of surging intuition

To be tender & move with compassion

Beyond mankind to all living being.

In the depths of compassion is an understanding

Of another soul in recognition

And sensing the joy and sorrows in reflections.

So join in to experience in embrace of compassion

Beyond intellect and reason and other egoistic delusions

Join the circle of conscious compassion.

Unite with single minded purpose of communion.

Share without fear or favour

All that you divinely revere

As every journey is a reunion

Of the spirit to another in Godliness .

The energy from such an authentic action

Creates oneness and peace

In and around us.

And a sense of belonging

To this vast wide world

Comes in the knowing

Of our owing to this

world and the beings around us.

We are not alone ever …

Works like a prayer…

For life to have meaning.

Soul wisdom

Life is an expression of the soul…


The soul goes through life


Like a rough diamond that gets polished

The body & mind take a toll


Many times over in a lifetime.


To shine like a diamond does.


In the shaping & moulding


Through the experiences


Garnering wisdom in the living.

What’s it about?

It’s about…

It’s not about wanting
It’s about retaining

It’s not about owning
It’s about valuing

It’s not about getting
It’s about giving

It’s not about receiving
It’s about sustaining

It’s not about having
It’s about nurturing

Life is the gift you have
How do you plan to nurture it?

Spirited Sky.

Today I happened to glance up at the sky

I was taken by its beauty.

Brilliant hues of blue

Adding brightness to the world

Whiffs of white clouds floating around

Like cotton fluffs patterned as two beautiful swans

Swimming in pure blue sea.

I imagine then,

The Spirited sky sending forth a sign…

Around the horizon, a tinge of orange yellow sun

Spreading hope & possibilities.

Walk in light

Why walk in shadows of dark
When light  is just around the bend.

Walk in light
If you can’t see the light
Find the light in you.

Trust your inner light to show you the way.
Love the light that you actually are!

All at the right time.

There is a time and reason for every season
For if all the seasons manifested together
There would be calamity.

There is always a reason to things
To questions and answers

If every lifes purpose asserted itself in this now.
There would be no tommorow…
Life is meant to go on
To live and learn
To explore and discover
To hope and await
To look forward to…

So acknowledge the learnings that happen
In a lifetime…
All at the right time.

Perception

We are what we believe ourselves to be

Our perceptions make all the difference

To become what we begin to understand.

In the sands of time…

We are ours perceptions,

Illusive yet mattering in existence.

As life and living.

We are reflections in the illusions

As much as illusions in the reflections.

Cups of time

Cupclock

If every hour were to be a cup

That would hold what you pour

What what you pour into the cup?

If every cup were to be

As they are meant to be,

Which cups would be full?

And which stark empty?

Life strings

We are strings of matter
Asserting ourselves in the giant spindle of time.

A string
Is meant to connect
It is also to be a bridge of bonding
Like a string of pearls
To string is to align with a purpose.

We are divinely connected in the subtler realms
To the infinite strings of matter.

Yet in the physical realm
We hold the strings to many
We pull these strings at times too lightly or forcefully
And what was meant to be for alignment ,  instead creates imbalances.

The strings we hold or latch onto
The strings that are passed into our hands
And the strings we want to control
All have a deep significance to the way we  were are,  we are and what our future will be…


Care to acknowledge our stringed existence in the interconnects.
Aspire to untangle the threads yet value the rootedness therein.


Aim to reach beyond the shackles of being
Unlearn to learn
Reach beyond knowing.

Life heals as its aligns and manifests the truth of its own potential.

Unique pathways

We are uniquely ordained by nature yet so very interconnected that we can find versions of ourselves time and time again as reflections in the resonance.

For what we see in another is a reflection of our own lives, that is unique yet self similar in manifestations .

We all duel and pass through these reflections in our lives at different times in our own special ways.

Every life has its own reason to be. A purpose of being. Every life has its own story Every life unfolds in its own way.

Bridge of learning

There is great wisdom

In the bridge of learning

Every move in our life

Is a prequel in the journey

Of living life in every now

A journey of learning

Has many moves

From exploration to action

From action to understanding

We learn from mistakes

From our own foibles

As much as others

There is a great many steps

To bridge the journey

Of our learnings in the living.

How much wisdom we imbibe

Is all in our intention

To apply the learnings

From our experiences

And understand some more.

What is it to dance?

We dance to let go, To enjoy this now. And celebrate it and find ourselves again.
In awareness is a flow, that merges in harmony to synch in with this now, in artistry of the moves… this is the truth of what it is, to dance!
