Best of shots captured by the mind thro the senses enter the album of the Self as moments of glimpses from duality to non duality as oneness of Divine eternity something else, so far, realized as an extension of your own self just as shots at different times and at different places of the space but arising from the one camera and going back to the one album The forever eternity......

Inspired by a blogger friend's post, here i am expanding on the subject. Do we really have a choice to choose the kind of people with whom we are more compatible? if only we can, how lovely it would be, may say the minds of many. Starting from the worldly relationships to the spiritual associations, it is a battle that goes on outwardly or quietly suppressed within. What is the cause for this? a very simple reply,"DESIRE". desire chases satisfaction and satisfaction chases desire. End result, engulfed in the flame of self- centeredness . Any association with such a virus is sure to have its effects. Fever, commonly encountered by almost everyone is a classic example. The virus affected body and mind can represent a thousand shades of reactions and responses. Some people are totally engulfed by the flame of the virus and they lose their own self. One may even have to wonder, just a fever and this person looks like as if he is in his death bed. It is a clear sign of the min...

Now a days, the corporates and the big organizations focus on the importance of welfare activities for the employees. Primarily it is to give the feel to the staff that the company is interested in the human side of the staff too. One such programme is arranging a sports meet for the employees. Witnessing one such sports meet, revealed the being too. The mind, all the time put into a zone of work --planning and execution is for a change expected to participate in the field of sport.

It is for the fun ...

Sickness, hospital, confined to the bed -- who would ever wish to be there either as a patient or as an attendant. But, life is not of choices of our own. One may plan everything in detail for the next day and go to bed. Wake up only to face the reality. Few are indeed unfortunately fortunate to observe the functioning of this great equipment called body and mind in such situations. I dont wish anyone for such a experience but at the same time when it happens, instead of getting caught with the sickness and the gloom of the whole region, you may choose to make use of it to observe yourself and the others too. Firstly, when we are clear with the understanding of body, mind and soul, the connectivity with our ownself does not succumb to the sicknesss of the body. No doubt, we watch the body failing in its functioning. The connectivity turns the duty as compassion. We watch and attend to our own body with so much compassion and the same happens when we are a attendant for others too. Comp...
