Where light shines forth
There is always a crack
That has given way
An opening that allows…
Light to shine through.
From darkness of night
Emerges a new dawn
In hope and deliverance.
With potential & possibilities.
Sense the cracking of dawn.

Peace Matters
Much more than anything else
For without it
Success has no meaning
True success is…
When the heart & mind
Knows peace within
Success becomes meaningful
Savvy
We are whole and complete
As ourselves in every cell of being
Yet we need each other
To live with and help arrive
To the best of ones potential.
We thrive as social beings
Feeding on each òthers energy
And exploring synergies
For each of us …
Are not just a life
Existing in this world
We are the uni verse by ourselves.

A story from Mahabharata
Once Arjuna asked Krishna-
Madhav.. What is this ‘successful life’?
Krishna took Arjuna to fly kites.
Arjuna was watching Krishna carefully flying a kite.
After a while Arjuna said-
Madhav.. Because of this thread, the kite is not able to move freely and upwards, should we break it? It will go higher.
Krishna broke the thread..
The kite went up a little more and then came down after waving and fell at a distant unknown place…
Then Krishna explained the philosophy of life to Arjuna.
Parth.. ‘The height we are at in life..
We often feel that certain things to which we are tied are preventing us from going higher; like :
-House-
-family-
-Dicipline-
-mother-father-
-master-and-
-Society-
And we want to be free from them…
In fact, these are the threads – which keep us at that height.
‘Without these threads we will go up once, but later we will have the same fate that happened to a kite without thread…’
“So, if you want to remain on the top in life, then never break your relationship with these threads.”
The height attained by successful balance of thread and kite-like attachment is called ‘successful life..”
Life and Living soulful stories share that come my way…
John D Rockfeller was once the richest man in the world. The first billionaire in the world. By age 25, he controlled one of the largest oil refineries in the US. By age 31, he had become the world’s largest oil refiner. By age 38, he commanded 90% of the oil refined in the U.S.
By 50, he was the richest man in the country. As a young man, every decision, attitude, and relationship was tailored to create his personal power and wealth.
But at the age of 53, he became ill. His entire body became racked with pain and he lost all of his hair. In complete agony, the world’s only billionaire could buy anything he wanted, but he could only digest soup and crackers. An associate wrote, He could not sleep, would not smile and nothing in life meant anything to him. His personal, highly skilled physicians predicted he would die within a year. That year passed agonizingly slowly.
As he approached death he awoke one morning with the vague realisation of not being able to take any of his wealth with him into the next world. The man who could control the business world suddenly realized he was not in control of his own life. He was left with a choice.
He called his attorneys, accountants, and managers and announced that he wanted to channel his Assets to Hospitals, Research, and Charity work. John D. Rockefeller
established his Foundation. This new direction eventually led to the discovery of penicillin, cures for malaria, tuberculosis and diphtheria.But perhaps the most amazing part of Rockefeller’s story is that the moment he began to give back a portion of all that he had earned, his
body’s chemistry was altered so significantly that he got better. It looked as if he would die at 53 but he lived to be 98. Rockefeller learned gratitude and gave back the vast majority of his wealth. Doing so made him whole. It is one thing to be healed. It is another to be made whole.
Before his death, he wrote this in his dairy, “The Supreme Energy taught me, that everything belongs to Him and I am only a channel to comply his wishes. My life has been one long, happy holiday; Full of work and full of play I dropped the worry on the way and God was
good to me every day.”
A profound message in those words.
Sharing musings from my mother..
Life moves on
In carefreeness
In dreaming.
In reality.
In sensibility.
In witnessing.
Each phase like
the changing face
moves on
teaching new lessons
To adjust
To accommodate
To analyse
To be detached
To let go
The most valuable lesson
‘To be in the Now.’
Live every moment
As it never come twice
Never contemplating,
Never anticipating.
Valuing the PRESENT
As a precious Present.
Live the NOW
With joy and peace
As they are not
From outsourcing.
For they are in me
Never let the transcient changes affect,
Like water bubbles,
they come and go.
Like passing clouds
They disperse.
With compassion in heart,
With awareness in mind,
With realisation in soul
Be in the Now.
Be in Bliss.
Anjana
The way we feel has much to do with the way we think
The way we think has much to do with the way we behave
The way we behave has much to do with our notions assumptions and perceptions.
And the way we are perceived has much to do with the way we carry ourselves.
Our personality & attitude is our projection of our personas
Our nature is interweaved with the emotional state of being .
In acknowledging this…
Our life’s journey evolves in awareness.
What we say to ourselves
Is immensely impactful!
Lets understand the power
Within each of us.
Let’s review our internal dialogues…
When you are about to say
‘ Let me give up’
Change it to
Let me try again
When you think
I am not enough
Can you say
I am capable as I am.
When you fear failure
Can you learn from failure
And emerge stronger from the experience
Life truly has many possibilities
For those who care to see
And acknowledge life’s lessons.
Savvy
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.

Writers knowingly or unknowingly
Reveal a lot through words
In the way they write
In the words they choose
To express themselves
If the writer adopts a style
It becomes his identity
A pattern begins to form
Of the soul through the words
Yet there is always more
Than the words can tell
More dimensions
In the perspectives
For every life is a mystery
In itself to unearth in time.
Savvy
It is a habit of a lifetime to cultivate
To remember to be kinder to oneself as much as another
It’s good to acknowledge the now
And remember every movement is happening
As it is preordained.
Let worries take a backseat
As well as the need for overt perfection.
Just keep the faith and hope alive in your heart
Simply know deep within…
All is well as it is meant to be.
Savvy
Just be…
Witness the wisdom
In the stillness
Beneath the din
In the silence
Betwixt the sound
In the spaces
Between the moves
Just be
Savvy
As you dance
Tapping your toes
To your own heartbeats
Life senses your rhythm
And waltzes along with you,
Savvy
Truths of life & living…
Take stock of strengths
Work in sustainable ways
Take stock of your weaknesses
And work to minimize them.
Acknowledge opportunities
And remember to be quick to respond
Watch out for threats
At every turn tread cautiously.
But above this all, focus
Where you know improvements are needed.
Keep this practise consistent…
And watch life turn around for you
Savvy
Worth considering…
Your life
Your choice
Which way
you take the turn.
Savvy
Came across a thought provoking quote by Henry George…’Man is the only animal whose desires increase as they are fed.’
Simply shows the need for a conscious awareness of contentment.
On contentment…
When you consciously plant the seed of Contentment in your heart …You realize how much you already have.
