A borderless world
Overflowing abundance
In the kindness of being.
Beyond assumptions
Notions & judgments
In fear and confusion
Over man made division.
The beauty of creation
Survives the human frailties.
The world without borders
Is one of awe and intrigue
Of the alluring mystic
Of all pervading consciousness.
Of manifestations beyond compare
Of artistry beyond words
All strewn for us to sense
In the tapestry of life.
Interweaved interconnects
Unraveled in interdependence
Such is the true nature of elements
Of Creation at its best!
The Isha Upanishad (ईशोपनिषद्, ‘īśopaniṣad’) is one of the shortest of the Upanishads, in form more like a brief poem than a philosophical treatise, consisting of 17 or 18 verses in total. The Upanishad constitutes the final chapter (adhyāya) of the Shukla Yajurveda and survives in two versions, called Kanva (VSK) and Madhyandina (VSM).
The Isha Upanishad is significant for its description of the nature of the “Supreme Being”, exhibiting monism or a form of monotheism, referred to as Isha “Lord”. It describes this being as “unembodied, omniscient, beyond reproach, without veins, pure and uncontaminated” (verse 8), one who “moves and does not move’, who is ‘far away, but very near as well'” and who “although fixed in abode is swifter than the mind” (verses 4 & 5).
The first verse of the text has been cited as of particular importance to Vedanta or to Hinduism as a whole.
The only bird that dares to peck an eagle is the crow. He sits on his back and bites his neck. The eagle does not respond, nor fight with the crow. It does not spend time or energy on the crow.
It just opens its wings and begins to rise higher in the heavens. The higher the flight, the harder it is for the crow to breathe and then the crow falls due to lack of oxygen.
Learn from the eagle and don’t fight the crows. Just keep ascending. They might be along for the ride, but they’ll fall off.
I listened to my heart Every day As it shares from within And I write them out as words Sometimes as verses At times its measured In moderation. Its a zen moment For there is clarity In just a few words shared.
Then there are times
They flow like a river A torrent in a current Patterning itself In its own making Words come through me As if it needs to be spoken Sharing the sensitivity Of the moments at hand. I listen simply with rapt attention For in the slightest flutter In every movement in the moments Or the depth of silence There is wisdom in the stillness.
When sounds begin too feel like music Life takes on a new meaning.
Breathing into the songs of soul
All is a matter of fine tuning Music makes my spirit come alive Melodies can make me sing along Rhythms can make my heart dance The beats can get my feet moving…
What about you? How do you relate with music? Do you have a favorite type of music? What is the music of your soul like?
Your life is not just your own, thinking so is an illusion.
You are meant to be all that you can be.
You have a purpose that is larger than your self.
You are meant to live & reach out and be expansive
You are meant to merge and emerge in the new circles of connection.
The choice of being true to yourself is yours to make
The patterns you create help expand the universe.
The connections you make in your lifetime leave a pattern in the grid for another to sense and evolve in time.
No two patterns are alike as the patterns are unique to your being.
Your purpose then is to live your life to the best of yourself.
Reach out to make a connection and experience the realms and yet staying true to your centre.
As you learn your way back home, more will find their way back home in time and space continuum.
To be Continued.
Care to tune in Listen to the intuitive The meditative, contemplative The reflective & the restorative voices There is a connective wisdom In the sounds of silence Emanating from you. It is your precious inner self Expressing itself. Be mindful and attentive Listen if you can, Every once in a while.” Embody the peace within. Seek the Serenity in the Silence
I have started an experimental journey and would like to invite you to be a part of it. Everyday through this week I have been writing and sharing a few verses in flow that you can choose to continue as well.
Would love to explore the connection in what evolves through the week and see the interweaves in the interconnects.
Reach a little beyond
