~ Platter to ponder ~

Healthy food for the mind, once again from the home of "Creation". Nature representing a huge platter for the consumers, the human being. Fruit platters, one of the prominent eye catchers for many and taste ticklers for some does find its importance in the banquets. let us just walk along with the creator of the platter for sometime to discover the creation. The chef, well versed with the various availability of the fruits, initially draws a map of the platter in his mind. Selection, segregation and skill full preparation of each one of them is indeed a process of patience and perseverance. Thankfully, the fruit in all its surrender blossoms beautifully for its own self and also by remaining supportive and accepting and not judging and justifying the rest, lets the platter also blossom fully. Even the non consuming fruit has its place as a decorative piece.The mind(fruit) missing here lets them all happen by the one mind, the human being. Blessed with a potential mind, inv...

~ Union ~

Yet another dance show to witness and experience the communion. Not just performance on stage but that which involves competition , elimination too! Rules that existed but could never bind these two in their expressions. They had crossed the boundary of the mind, probably where rule can't rule.

A pot is made out of the choicelessness and awarelessness of the clay. The creator prepares the ball of clay, places it at the right time on a spinning wheel, guides the formation in coordination with the speed and shape he wants and eventually at the right time lifts it out from the wheel too to be presented as an item to the world. The whole process is purely happening in the awareness and choice of the maker. The one to be molded needs to become a clay only then it can just be something in this world. Clay doesnot instruct the maker nor has a wish to become this or that. It is just as it is, simply being. We, as humanbeings have entered this world with a definite form, mind full of desires and concepts and yet struggle to become whatever it is. Unlike the clay, when we just surrender ourselves to the Div...
