Even when the form disables The formless enables the continuity... Boundaries for the form Beyondness to the formless Passion for the form Compassion to the formless Bridge for the two None for the one divine... Shapes and shades Sharing and caring Shining like stars Love of the self With or without stars Ever like the abiding abundant sky In the vastness of oneness

Can a board game take us on board into the journey  of life? maybe, if you wish to join me in this exploration. Most of us would have come across the board game called, "Life". A group of 5 to 50, kid, teen, adolescent and the adult started to assemble and go for it. An excellent combination of all stages except the old age, good mixture of various states of mind, let me have the opportunity to enjoy and be there to share the experience. Wonderful creativity in designing the game that has the wheel of Karma as the spinning wheel which decides the move, the birth, the loss and gain, revenge, option to choose the path between two, factors that thrill and disappoint, the turns and twists and above all, the money factor which decides the winner. A kid is full of excitement right from the start of choosing his pawn to start  the spinning first. But, lets not ignore his acceptance when the wheel of spinning decides the players place of seating and beginning. Followed  again is the ...

Born in the natural garden of fragrant flowers, fortunately or unfortunately, we tend to drift to the garden of artificial flowers over a period. As a newborn, fresh as the beaming fullmoon to as a little kid like a sparkling star, we go through various stages. Neither the fullmoon nor the star are aware of the beauty and it for the rest to bask in their glory! Along the way, the mind shifts the gears and predominantly likes to live in a fantasy of flowers of the senses alone, the fragrantless artificial ones. Have you observed the role of these lovely artificial ones(created by the human mind) that come handy, cost effective and supposedly to remain for a long period with less maintenance. One bouquet made from them can functionally occupy the space as a decorating corner of a banquet hall or just wield the colours of combination as a centre piece at a dining table. Functionally occupying the space yet not filling the space. The missing fragrance can never fill the space that is both ...

Springing from the heart Shining through the senses The light that brightens Voices of the void Spaces of the speechless Standing in stillness Saluting in silence Much more than just an attitude Moments filled in ....Gratitude!!

Most of us at some point of time would have been through this experience of either receiving a gift or giving it . Those moments have always been special even if it was momentary. The art of choosing a gift -- i would like to mention it as an art and not a purchase, simply because it is an extension of the self as expression. Any form of art - dance, music, painting is an expression of the individual. During a discussion on the topic of choosing a gift, things started to unfold naturally. Firstly, the person to whom it has to be gifted is the main focus. Considering his needs and complimenting it as close as possible with the constraints of budget, the gift turns out to be a useful gift. Unless the one who chooses the gift has a concern for the other, such details gets diluted while executing. When you choose a gift for the one whom you adore, you can clearly notice the intricate details and the rest that follows in that action. It is that love that gets reflected and never seen as an ...

You can only be devoted to Being You can only be bonded to human Whats that which makes the difference from bondage to devotion?? Whatelse than love. In any relationship, when we are connected to the Being of the other, its that love which transpires as devotion. But generally devotion is mostly related with God whom we have never seen in any human form or its related with Maser-disciple relationship. This is essentially because of the love connected to the Being in the human form. Rarely, we come across such impeccable love being transpired in other relationships. In the name of love, mostly you find only being bonded and they would claim that as great love. Fake has the ability to be deceptive to the extent of super matching the real. Its the fragrance of the real that can never be matched. The fragrance is the liberation that emanates in devotion. Thats why when you come across couple who are truly devoted to each other, you would be filled with its fragrance. We call them devote...

Ignorance blinds one's Self Compassion sustains in stability When a human is stuffed with the byproducts of ignorance called hate, jealousy, possessiveness, insecurity, fear etc -- it remains like a stuffed doll and loses its sense of love and compassion. This can be witnessed mostly in strained relationships, like between mother and son, married partners, friends. The strained relationship between two individuals can severe the link with one's own self if the individual lives in ignorance. This was so evident while witnessing the partners of a strained married life. The wife failed to take notice of the sudden deterioration in the health of the man until the daughter arrived in time to take the medical assistance most needed for the man. Its not that the wife was heartless, but just that ignorance virus named hate had spread all over her mind and she just could not even notice the seriousness. She did realize her foolishness how her ignorance had blinded her and didnot let her...

One at Site Another at Outdoors (just about to leave) Builders base, Birds nest Not in a wedlock Nor partners of a Firm Nature's pairs To play the game of love Neither an architect Nor an intellect Well divided in job Execution by impulse One Fetches from far Another assembles and guards Amazing it is To be a witness of their love Silence is their sign of strength In their brief exchange Of kisses and hugs Eyes watch you Being immerses in your love

Peaks of problems Penniless to powerless For the many indeed! Pearls of laughter Amidst the perils For the few indeed! Peripheral visions Blurred as ever Beyond exists Powerful Insights Crystal clear. Firm as the rock Flowing as the river Love and compassion Forever and ever....
