~ SOCIETY ~ Group of individuals that make a society Group of flowers that make a bouquet Group of trees that make an orchard Shades stroked together makes a painting Within a boundary, yet together

Sparkling or Scorching Sun is the one and the same Right time, right place It Glows, else It Glares. Shades for the glare None for the glow Eyes that see only matters "who or what is it" shall not be the worry "who am I, where am I" Shall be The way

A pedestrian on road gets knocked off by a car driven by a disturbed mind. His limbs become the gifts for that accident. Now, what next? atleast , he was fortunate to go for the artificial limbs that to a certain extent compensate for the original ones. Being a lover of nature, had explored extensively treading and trekking different terrains. Now, how is he going to cope up with his adventurous spirit. This is when the difference in perception speaks. Caught in concepts of blaming and cursing, one can never move ahead. Instead, it can become a great booster for a turn within. From certain expressions of nature, he moves ahead to focus on the very essence of nature. he may not be able to climb "The Himalayas", but he can experience the essence if only he accepts and adapts to the "Now". The palm tree has not stopped its dancing, the birds have not stopped their singing, the stars have not stopped shining.... all belong to the same nature! just learning to wear the l...

Expression in Time Essence beyond time Existence both in time and beyond! Essentially everyone is good in nature(not the good against bad). Essence is nothing but just a spark of the source, got to be That only. But when it gets expressed, the problem starts depending on the purity of the expression and the time at which its delivered. Right time, right place, right person -- all is well, missing any one -- one is in the well. Does one have a control on all these factors? may not be. Do we have the control over our time of birth or death? no. Then, whats it one suppose to learn from this process of Time factor. Its not in differentiating it as Good and Bad, but how well we relate it with our own self and remain in balance. Nature never chose only the sunny days or the rainy days. Its meant to balance the action and withdrawal in accordance with time. Thats why, Sri Krishna says, All that happens is for the good All that happened is for the good All that is to happen is for the good ...

House is made of bricks Home is made of heart To make a home as a house or a house as a home surely depends on all the members. But to have one's own inside as a home, its just one's own self. Connected it remains as a home, disconnected its just a house. Every parent at some stage --school or college would have to attend this "open House" to get the assessment report of their kid. Generally, it is seen as a day of judgement for the child. But its a wonderful opportunity for the parent to expose oneself to experience the joy of being with the innocence of the children(school or college - yet to get trapped into adulthood). A parent occasionally gets opportunity to be and express his innocence . Sometimes, one tends to get delayed waiting in the queue to meet the respective teacher. Grab the opportunity -- instead of cribbing about the delay, no this and that...watch the students, parents.. and simultaneously watch your own self.. oh! its a great joy and learning too....

Sharing some of the shades revealed by the word explain. Explain -- usage in the logical front. To prove the formula, one explains in different steps. Applying in life, to prove one's views and concepts, one goes into explanations. Kind of logical applications used in science, maths etc. But the catch in life is, there is nothing to prove but atmost give an extended description(explanation) to make the understanding easier. Instead, if someone is caught in the trap of proving(unconnected ego), then it can turn out to become an unpleasant experience. When one functions from the connected ego, automatically it views from the other person's angle and only stops with the extended description and never gets caught in proving. Even if the extended description fails to convey, it doesnt matter to the connected ego. As much as there is no need to understand everything in this world, so is it when it comes to explaining and expecting the other to understand. Its indeed an art expresse...

"Observe not the people around you, but the thoughts within you" - Living Master Akshara . People followed by situations come into our lives only to indicate the presence of certain corners (Dark & Bright)hidden deep within and let us learn to be aware of the Real Self in the absence of such thoughts. Thats why instead of getting caught in the trap of the Human being that acts as a pointer to look within ourselves, its important to make use of that pointer to turn within. Ofcourse , not an easy job but yet its worth the effort. In a way, they help us to unravel our own self. A kind of unpleasant help in the case of discovering the dark corners via a disturbed and yet to realize being. Unless exposed to such people and situations, how are we to experience the unknown? Similarly, some people and situations can help us to rediscover our hidden talents too. Realized beings are the ultimate source to know both our positive and negative sides and they help us to outgrow both t...

No farewell party To bid goodbye to the sunset No welcoming party To the birth of the moon As it comes, so it goes You remain a witness. Depression in bay Effects seen on land Peak of sunshine Scorching down below Is a way of the nature Denial of nature Is the ignorance of the mind Awareness bestows acceptance Protects from the blow of the wind Or from the scorching rays Nurture the mind In the land of awareness To the way of the nature

Just two simple words used often to express the final decision. However eloquent one is, its few who are precise in using these two little words. Rest mostly beat around the bush or just slip and slide away. One who is well connected with one's own self is also very clear in expressing the same. There is clarity in speech as much as in action. Speak but speed away at the need of the hour is someone who is strong in the ego but yet to be connected. so is it when it comes to emotional attachments too. Someone would be a very responsible citizen in the eyes of the society but invariably fails to extend the same justice when it comes to deciding on his kith and kin. simple cause -- emotional attachment as relationship. But one who is expressing from the source is clear with the decision and doesnot suffer or enjoy with hatredness or happiness. The words carry no attachments either happy or sad. Its only the need of the hour and the person is totally responsible for it. Suggestions can...

Where words fail to reach The silence slips in Boundaries are for The Sound of words No Zone, no boundary for The Silence of the soul None to remember, none to forget Nothing to attach, nothing to detach Just it is as it is Practice sessions held within The boundaries of body and mind Enable to play the sport of Oneness In an opponentless match In the open field Entry and exit, one and the same.

Support - The port that facilitates in helping one to anchor to one's own Self. when a tender shoot springs from soil, it is necessary to give the right support until it can stand firm rooted well within. The roots go deep down into the soil and remain firm. Well rooted within, the tree above stands tall. Similarly, one looks for support especially in times of crisis. Actually that is more of dependency and not support. The real support is the one which enables you to find your own strength. Wisdom from the enlightening beings enable that external support to anchor one to his own Self. Its there within but one even needs a support to show that strength. Search for the source. Nourishment drawn from within is supplied to the tree above to face the weather(world). Very few only search for that support which can show them their own in-built system. Interestingly, it happens at a very late stages of life when battered and shattered by the worldly happenings. If someone is searching fo...

A student gains each day. A follower of the Way (Tao) loses something each day.Loss after loss until arriving at Non Action (Wu Wei).* -Lao Tzu Knowledge is the accumulation of information which the student gains each day. But when the same knowledge takes an inner turn as experience, thats connecting to the Self, one has to lose all that has been gained. Thats what is called emptying, non action. Any resistance offered in the process of a student or a follower it would only arrest the way. Its much easier to gain than to lose. Resistance may probably be converted to re-assisting one self. No logic, no reasoning, just moving ahead with favourable or unfavourable situations but never losing track with Self can help one to learn the art of losing much much faster. The worldly loss like money, relationship etc causes unbearable sorrow and engulfs one in a terrible state of fear of all sorts and insecurity. It makes the heart heavier and the head go mad. The loss of a follower of the Way...
