In India, its very common to experience the power failure, regular scheduled power cuts etc. Now, to call it a curse or name it a blessing or simply go with it is purely one's own state of mind. What it would be if everything is planned and executed as scheduled without any interruptions? absolutely heavenly? may be so, it may sound and appear too. But over a period, if we look closely, the extent of non functioning of the mind in the areas of creativity, adaptability and attunement will be revealed. Next the alarming bell will ring loudly if any slight disruption happens in the planning. Watching this episode of power cuts and its effects on human beings, it is very interesting to study the different aspects of  the ever mysterious mind. In some cities, they have scheduled power cuts and so people are used to fit in their power requirements and functioning accordingly. So here too certain planning goes on to fit in with known changes. But, the beauty begin...

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...

Who am i to build walls around and call  it "The ONLY" worshiping place so you mean to say the rest is a war-ship place? who am i to sanctify the space as sacred than the rest try to confine my Being to that limitedness calling it as auspicious am i not ignorant?? to ignore the rest If Gods can be limited who am i??? bigger than Him?? Let it probably be the starting point for the journey to nowhere begin but let it not become the stagnant point and remain forever within confinement The beloved Divine all over everywhere move on people be ready to break-free there is much more to JUST BE!

Only the movement as running from pillar to post endlessly running to a known destination Only the sitting like a dead body numb and dumb to all thats happening around Is there a moment even in the movement or a deadly stillness thats alive and untouched May be a loud "YES" to feel it alive awareness as it is said to simply BE it Not a moment missed in movement(action) not a moment missed in sitting(inaction) for the very base exists as the force behind both

Alive it stood tall and beautiful uprooted and rested remains dried and dead Wonder if it matters really to IT alive or dead appears not for IT To the world it mattered as a name as palm tree as a purpose so many to IT, i wonder.... Its human who named IT who saw purpose in IT not just when alive but even in its death Uprooted to build home for his race called human all along the mind in play searching for purpose Oh my dear human said the palm finally when would you see that which cant be seen Alive or dead i remain as i am no purpose no mind yet appear as its meant to be Can time and space limit my being am glad have no mind to bury my being! (Contemplations on watching the palm trees being uprooted to make space for a huge apartment to be built)

She works as a maid for her living and not just in one house but couple of them too. That clearly explains the need for the money. Yet recently, when she happened to narrate an incident in her life, it had powerful insights which were not necessarily known to her. Surprisingly, we come across many who can be so eloquent and well versed to explain something but when it comes to living fail miserably to live the same. Some years back, when she had taken up a new house to work as a maid, she noticed some change(money) on the floor and promptly picked it up and gave it to the lady in the house. She thought by mistake it must have fallen down and they may not have noticed it. But to her surprise, when she noticed the same thing happening for the next couple of days, she realized that it is not by mistake the money has fallen down but the owners are just checking if she is trustworthy. So without getting offended, she picked up the change and while giving it back to them, politely said,...
