"Once mature, a person prefers substance to appearance, fruit to flowers." "The Wise are guided by their belly rather than their eyes" Lao Tzu The flowers are soft and fragile, the fruits strong and sturdy. The flower embraces you with fragrance but the fruit can embrace you with fragrance and be your food too. The fruit --beauty to the eye and the belly! (ofcourse there are some exceptional flowers used for cooking too. Here said in general context). The mind when immature(Flower) is like the head of a newborn, needing a support. A hand that holds it to remain straight and balanced on its own shoulder. As the newborn grows, (mature-fruit) taking the help of the hand learns to master the balance of retaining its head on its shoulder. The spine, muscles grow stronger to keep it in its place. Babe to boy or girl still have that same hand now to help him/her to walk. The hand, the support continues at every stage until it matures as an adult. Its a wonderful transform...

'Just a moment'- can you be here please! Memorable, experiential and devastating moments have been plenty that fill our life from moment to moment. what is a moment? Is it an activity that happens in a fixed time frame which is generally referred to as one second? Is that all? Not exactly, may be. Grosser side of a moment can just refer to a fixed time. Subtler the Truth that reveals the beauty of both stillness and movement in a nut shell of moment. "Be in the present moment". True, only that can unfold the both sides of the same coin. Just watch the clouds in the most relaxed state of mind and body. Initially you would be watching the movement of clouds and in a jiffy of a moment, benediction bestows the stillness in that movement-- this is indeed the most precious moment! The true meaning of a moment having both movement and stillness, sound and silence. In this hurried lifestyle caught in the grosser moments, lets have some precious moments too! Ways are many, all...

" If you dont Trust people people will not trust you" Sounds similar to 'unless you give, you cant receive". Faith, trust - these are ways to the Being. Some have the natural flow for faith and trust, some no matter how things are transparent like to cross the intellectual bridge of suspicion and then reach to the gateway. Unfortunate few are stuck forever in the melee of Confucian and keep their doors closed. Where there is trust, greater the connectivity. It opens up the channel for free flowing, whether its just a conversation or some financial exchange, moral support or much much more subtler things to happen. Misconception is that when you trust somebody you expect only good things to happen thro them. In Truth, it cant be the Real trust. Trust is for the moment , at the moment. A true friend is one who points out your mistakes. He does that because of the faith in the truth in himself and the trust he has with his friend. Dont ever break the Trust to get R...

Unaffected by affection or estrangement, Unaffected by profit or loss, Unaffected by honour or disgrace, They are the most precious things in the world. -Lao Tzu Attachment-- begins from much before birth itself. When the form takes place, it needs attachment. The form yet to be born is attached to the mother's form thro umbilical cord. Nourishment happens through the cord until its time for birth, thats Independence . The trouble begins then onwards even though its reflected much much later as emotional, sentimental and all kinds of attachment. Master Akshara says, "Attachment is not wrong, but to what you attach is important. infact you cant detach without getting attached" True. The womb is attached to the source, the mother, for nourishment and what a joy it brings forth at the time of liberation(birth) to the source, the mother.Imagine the womb staying inside in the name of attachment forever, what a suffocating experience it would turn out to be as motherhood. ...

Living plants are flexible, In death, they become dry and brittle. Therefore, stubborn people are disciples of death, but Flexible people are disciples of life. -Lao Tzu Nature, the natural Master bestows lessons on life not by words but by just presenting itself. What better way can the grass teach the importance of flexibility and adaptability to be a disciple. Amidst the wildest hurricane, its the grass which withstands its fury than the tallest and well grown tree. Not just flexibility alone but its the rooting too which plays the major role. Flexibility can happen only when acceptability happens. Its the same gentle breeze which was caressing the blades of grass that turns into violent wind, its the same waves once a joy presents itself as Tsunami. Wonderful teachings from nature to learn the art of being the disciple, and to accept the Master, the nature as it is. Blessed are the disciples to experience both the ups and downs of life to master one's ownself. To go beyond is f...

CHANGE Is a bend in the road and not the end of the road unless you fail to make the turn An interesting and inspiring quote found adorning the walls of a courier office. From the time we are born, its always been changes happening at every stage of our life. Both physically and mentally, the changes have been following us like a shadow. One accepts these normal changes found in the growth of a human being. Any interference with the normal change flow can cause the damage both physically and mentally unless one learns to accept and adapt to the change, like if some one lost his limb in an accident and struggles to cope up with an artificial limb. Thats when the inner power comes to the rescue to adapt and be normal with the change. Change is to know the changeless that exists within and inturn its that changeless which teaches the art of proceeding with the journey when one encounters a turn in the road. The journey goes on with the thrill of turn and twists...
