Date -- same as every year -- Soul Day -- Changes, need not be the same -- Mind Year -- constantly changing -- Body Birthday -- to practise atleast once a year to remind oneself to be grateful to existence for this form without which the possibility to drive on the road to Realization becomes impossible. A day to remember and remind to be aware of the changeless Soul amidst the constant changing body and mind. Its a celebration in itself. That which is born meets the death too leaving behind That which is never born too. Every moment has its own birth and death happening simultaneously. Every thought too has its beginning and end. Life full of events is a burst shot! Appears to have sequence yet has its own single frame. Unlike a birthday where all celebrations come to a close at the end of the day, let it sustain as an everlasting celebration, afterall its the celebration of the Soul!

Music -- Its there in some form or the other in everyone's life. Some love singing, some just listening. Nature presents the best of unheard tunes and melody all the time. Silence and stillness is the platform for that everlasting music with the great performers --thunder, storm or a cuckoo's call, fingers of the wind strumming the leaves....etc. name it --rock, jazz, pop, country, nothing left by nature. The question is " are you there to listen?" Our intellectuals too have offered us with the best of systems to listen to the music. They are all well promoted and exquisitely displayed in showrooms which eventually find a place with the individual at home, work place or anywhere. How does one listen to it? Looking at a plug point, everybody knows it as a channel for utilizing the electricity. But one has to plug in the music system to listen. Thats connecting to the source. Knowing the plug point is relating to it as a channel for electricity. Plugging in is connect...

Eloquent or extravagant none can explain the ONE when you are one with it distortion can only be the expression presented by the wonder words No known can reveal the Unknown Known can only relate Unknown only can connect best left to be and dwell in its kingdom The eternal silence.

All in one form Thankfully with no name tags No religious identity Connected to one ring, the Source By the string of love Suspended in air At various levels Simply they remain Yet let wonders of music Flow thro them and fill the air A gentle breeze or a soft touch acts as a trigger and lets The beloved wind chime render the Music of Harmony

Creation is just a way to the Creator. He has been so generous and kind in His expressions. Just when one is in the right frame of mind, the channel opens up to let the insight happen. Clearer the mind, better the vision to insight. Dog -- wonderful pet known for its obedience and gratefulness! Nothing else would matter to it other than its master's commands. Initially, the dog is trained to the words of its master. But those who have had the opportunity to grow with a dog would know that just a look from the master , the dog obeys the signal. So much in tune with the Master! A 'go away, come here, stay quiet, move in action, catch, drop etc... are all just mere commands for it to perform and it does, not because of fear but out of that great love. What a wonderful creation to teach the lessons of disciplehood -- obedience(no questioning, interpreting mind), gratefulness, 100% performance. Above all unlike some human disciples, it never ever barks or bites(anti propaganda, cr...

Air Show they say When metal birds go up yes its a show To impress the lot Flocks of birds that fly With none to impress For simply its their nature to be there and fly

Treat or Retreat Attach or Detach Aint it a part of a circle embraced in love? Balcony or bedroom aint it a part of your loved Home? Surfing on the surface choosing one and refusing the other Oh!

Turn within to be in tune with Him be abundantly grateful for you are one of the few chosen by The Master of Great wisdom.

Wings wide open With no itinery No passengers, no cargo No designated routes They fly in the open sky, The playground. Going in circles aimlessly rising in height Higher and higher, joblessly Freedom is all to be alone Boredom is only to a loner

Hey Loved Ones! Speech is communication Word is the language To the system known Stillness is communication Silence is the language to that which is unknown Birds do smile plants do speak rocks do sing In the land of the Being For source is the same and silence is the language No alphabets to learn Just resting the known system Unveils the universal language To be in union with One Divine

Patience in anticipation, in hope for the better can only lead one to become a patient. Its a waiting, taking one to the unknown future and the greatest thief that steals the present moment and pushes one into a sickness. The beauty of 'living in the present moment" can never ever be tasted by this kind of patience in anticipation. Naturally, anything thats artificial or forced upon oneself is bound to reflect in ones own personality. A simple natural smile becomes a distant future thats never going to be. However smart one tries to disguise, its a foul smell that can never be contained or sealed. Whereas the Real patience helps one to grow in awareness, to move within to tap the potential of the source and thereby naturally glows with the radiant smile and emanating the fragrance that no boundary can hold. Meditation is the process of Real patience. Beautifully expressing the essence of such patience, Living Master Akshara says "Patiently, lovingly waiting for the Divin...

An adventurous sport, loved by many, experienced by few and never ever dream of venturing into it by lots and lots -- The Bungee Jumping! This sport has three stages, climbing up the steps, watching from the platform and finally jumping. Life is a sport. Knowledge are the steps taking one to reach the edge--the platform. Know-the-edge = knowledge. Transformation is the platform. Transform all that has been formed in climbing up the steps. That which is formed can only be transformed. The knowledge that was formed to climb the steps gets transformed to be the original, natural one. Then comes the jumping. Let go- is the mantra, simple two little words that turn out to be the huge obstacle. This sport loved by many reach upto the platform but fail to perform the "let go" stage. They just return back to the steps --caught in the knowledge. Its the fear, insecurity -- the blocks that arrests the freeflow . Even with the best of safety systems, letting go is a big hurdle. The one...

CHALLENGE -- cha LLE nge -- Change Isnt it the change thats brought in or happened turns out to become a challenge? Starting from the change of seasons, from sunny days to rainy ones --it can turn out to be a challenge for a housewife to get the clothes dried in rainy days especially when faced with limited space in an apartment. While one accepts, learns and becomes an expert to go with the flow of changes, another resists and tries to reject the change. The end result, acceptance and learning-- smooth functioning(normal), resistance and rejection-- chaos and confusion! An expert driver is the one who can cruise at 120 kmph in an empty road and also has control to drive at 20 kmph in a traffic congestion, both performed in same poise. When one fails to learn the controls and apply them appropriately, even a simple change can appear like a monster. While in acceptance, learning and applying flows naturally and facilitates to turn the most challenging situations into an ordinary c...
