Its often said, "Flow with the river or Be the flow". Pondering a bit on the phrase unfolds the journey of a log in a river. A log thrown in a river has no choice but just flows the way the river takes its course. The fact is it may not really take the entire route of a river for it can get stuck between rocks or anything can happen. There is no mind in the log to think and there is no intellect to discriminate the situation and become aware of the present moment. The log is just fine if it flows or if it is stuck for both makes no difference to it. But, not so with the human being. A human being cannot be like a log for it is blessed with the mind that can be aware and decide. Imagine a human being given a log of wood which he converts it into a boat and uses it for his journey in the river. To tune into the flow(force) of the river is truly flowing. When grace bestows such tuning, the journey of awareness starts to flow. One becomes aware of the rocks to avoid or even if...

As a kid, we are taught the alphabets. Then moving on further the words are formed using the same alphabets. From letters to words it begins but later we master the art of deciphering the letters from the words even unknown. It just indicates the inter-connectedness. Similarly, life experiences begin with a lot of asking with "Why, What and When ? ". Understanding them all from the realm of the mind seems challenging and the only mission of this birth. It might comprise of simple ones to the most complicated. Eventually and invariably with all the explanations derived from various minds, it becomes an additional burden of just information. Rare few life experiences leave one with the attitude for exploring further. One such most vital one is "meeting the master ". Again, here too the asking does not stop but there is definitely a shift in that asking. One more set of information and the mind is stuck, then it is doomed. But if the asking leads to the unlearning...

Every seed essentially a potential tree The seed bursts open to reveal and become the tree The tree is just an expression of the tremendous dormant potential of the unmanifested Manifested as tree mind blowing to the world Unmanifested as seed goes unnoticed to many The few chosen know the potential.

The sacredness of just being all by yourself is so beautifully overshadowed with concepts of loneliness. Various situations bestow this most sacred space of a lifetime. Many times missed miserably by many yet never too late to realize. Space crowded with people especially of your own clan brings in some security and comfort that the mind is used to and when the same clan drops out in the name of separation(marriage, work, seeking or death), the individual feels so lost and lonely. Coming to terms with reality turns out to be the biggest challenge. The root cause for this loneliness primarily belongs to the fact that he or she considers himself or herself as an individual and hence always is in need of wanting something or someone to have that space filled whether its inside oneself or outside. What shocks the most is not just the one who has not even heard the word, meditation but even the so called spiritual seekers go through if not the same but much more sense of loneliness...

Have you ever thought or observed this process called "blossoming". let us ponder a little deeper into that beyondness of the expression, beauty! A beautiful flower, indeed when its all open and emanating fragrances all around or just simply being there. But, neither the tree knows of a potential bud nor the bud knows about its own blossoming. Yet its all happening. One may choose to observe a bud as closely as possible and yet may fail to pin point the exact time of every petal unfolding into its open space. Simply it is beyond the time. Its there simply available to existence, just that its not aware of it. what can possibly happen when awareness is bestowed in this process? Do we get to unfold each petal and plan it and place it as you wish? that would be probably the most kiddish idea. we can possibly have a world of game with tons and tons of ideas but wonder if any of them could ever take us anywhere near to what it is. Techniques and theories can help us to a certain e...

Blind to the blessings unwilling to share walk in selfishness walk away from The Self! As pointers to realize the benediction all around some do turn within to share that which belongs to all and remain grateful! Few, no matter, what it is continue to trek the terrain of selfishness engulfed in loneliness...

Eyes chose to embrace gently simply to let me dwell deep within Surging up like a lightening Stillness bestowed to realize The silence thats within and without Even while the sense chose To fill the ear with Divineful music Aware to the aliveness All alone in meditativeness To express the effects In words as here can the cause be contained In words of limitedness Bow down in grateful silence My own Beloved source...
