SEASON'S GREETINGS TO THE ENDLESS SEASONS.... Human race, probably, has been the only creation that created occasions to celebrate. Probably, the so called development of the mind somewhere lost the innate nature, celebration. Watch the flock of birds flying and it resonates the feel of celebration even though they are just flying to some other destination. They don't need an occasion to celebrate . They are simply living in their original nature and that is celebration. It is okay, we have created occasions to catch up with the essence. But then, are we truly living in celebration? have we made use of the occasion to revive the essence of celebration and allow it to remain as an integral part of our nature? If so, then , where is the need to long for yet another occasion? Pondering on these thoughts, the beauty of celebration and being alive to every moment gets enhanced. Even during an occasion, many people get lost to the past and keep recounting and comparing with the pr...

What is conflict? where does it arise from? when does it strike? A closer look at these queries reveals that there is a gap between the thought and the action. here thought, may be an idea that goes well in tune with one's self and an action that needs to be performed much against the idea. So, it means a gap between the idea and the reality or the truth. When the idea becomes the action, there is no conflict. This can be seen even in small instances. Some even call this as harmony in work, harmony in action etc. But the same idea can become a monster or just a hurdle and bring about conflict accordingly if the action to be performed differs. simple instances like someone who is so used to an independent living might find it really difficult when it comes to sharing his room or his personal things. It is just a thought that can turn into a boulder in letting the adaptability to happen. Dealing with outward conflict with situations and people primarily depends on how well one is in...

In today's world of shopping, most of the products especially the clothes come with one or many tags like price tag, fabric care tag etc. The tags are the ones that lets us know the prime detail -- the price tag. The cost that lets us decide whether we can afford it, whether the cost is right for the product etc. It is the information which is vital in deciding to buy the product. Once the product is bought, the first thing that needs to be removed from the dress before wearing it, is the tag. We ensure that even the string(which is used to tie it ) is cleanly removed, else, it can cause uneasiness while wearing the dress. That which helped in deciding or providing information becomes useless once its work is over. It just needs to be dropped or else it becomes a hindrance in the usage. Life with many situations, associations and relationships too come along with these tags. It is for us to read them well, decide and then drop it. No doubt they have been instrumental in providing...

In abundance you dwell deep within To abide in your abundance Is the grace of the Divine Neither can see nor hear you Yet alive to the fullness of stillness That connects to you My own, my beloved silence...

Moving from the Interpreting mind To the Integrated Self is Harmony The very word resonates a sense of completeness. From childhood, we have learnt the meaning of the word as "there is no flaw and everything is perfect". Also, we are taught to relate this beautiful word to the outside -- people and situations. Rarely, we come across to relate to the significance of the inner self . when two people are found to share a non-complaining and satisfying relationship, then we address them as someone who is in harmony with each other. Mostly, harmony is used to describe two entities that share the platform of comfort ability . Be it nature, people or situations -- it is always with something other than one's own self wherein the word finds its usage. When such a division arises, it is a clear indication that the mind comes into play. The mind is too good in interpreting and defining it with wonder words. One just needs to be smart to know the mind and move to the next zone, The...

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. The theme was "romantic round" and indeed it was the ultimate expression of union in love. It appeared as though the guy had the major work of lifting the girl and dancing(apparently, they were not real couple). No doubt, it is an additional weight on himself while moving around. But the truth, the girl too had played a major role in letting herself be uplifted so gracefully and probably that's why none could notice the moment of lift and drop. It was watching two flowing into each other and just emerging as ONE. When the dance came to a graceful conclusion, everyone even forgot to clap in appreciation for a moment because it was The Silence that pervaded and had drowned ever...

The field is provided to play the game. The activity, the game of actions takes place in the field. The results too are judged based on the action that happened on the field. Succes or failure, the field is just the same. Eventhough, it appears as a part of the entire game, it doesnot get included in the results of the sport. The judgement is awarded to the team or the individual as success and failure. Yes, the field can contribute or facilitate for a healthy sport if it is given due attention and prepared well for the sport to play. Yet again, it has nothing to do with the result for there are known and unknown factors that also have a role to play. Sudden showers can simply snatch the game and tilt it anyside. Known that is the so called predictable factors too have their contributions. The mind acting as the field and yet not influenced by the results of the sport can let us taste the state of beyondness. The actions go on, the results get announced too. If one gets caught in the c...
