Fear not

See that you do in your heart
In the silent meditation
In faces all around
The One Divine

Try this little game
The next time fear strikes
Look at anything around
Tell yourself silently
Each face
Each blade of grass
Is but a reflection of the Divine in me
That which moves me, moves them too

And say a word in silent greeting
From deep within
Not aloud
Look at faces in gentle reverence
For but a second
Watch fear melt,
Like fire melts ice
Fear is for the unknown
How can your own
Be unknown?
For there is just One Divine

DINO
She is a mother like me
Has children just like me
Watch her as she takes care of them

I did pass by her home one day
Just a small trench

She wagged her tail
Jumped on me
And showed me her own
Little ones

Little ones with pink stub noses
Spotless white, cuddly cotton balls they seemed
And tails that flicked this way and that
As they tried to reach to their mother bosom

I looked on with amazement
At the miracle of Creation

My eyes filled with tears at the
Trust the Mother placed in me

As she let me touch and caress them
This gift I shall treasure, ever

For she did treat me as her own
That day I learnt just this
The spirit of motherhood is just one

We are neighbours in this world
To live and Love and share together

‘Pain and pleasure
Spur and obstacle
In the quest of One DIVINE
Pain spurs on
Pleasure deludes;
Bliss eludes’
Some do perceive such
Acceptance of both
Reject none
Awareness of both
Is to transcend
For they are One

Shiva and Shakti
The source and the expression
One cannot exist without the other

The human body, mind give expression

To the soul within

The soul has to express
And express and experience
It needs a vehicle
The body and the mind are such

Vehicles by which the soul
Takes an opportunity to express
And experience the divine
This is the basis of all human actions
Performed consciously or unconsciously

The body shall die without you saying, “okay now you may go”
The mind too shall walk away too without your permission
They are just around for you to be used
As an expression of the divine, to experience the divine

When the realization of this ultimate goal of this life
Happens

All ‘doership’ in actions ceases
All karma ceases

From then it is just one
Journey to merge into the Infinite
One as ONE

( This came about spontaneously as I read a comment in Cosmic Consciousnes)

‘God’ is a presence
Not a person
Felt not seen
An experience of Love and warmth
Simply,
Ever-present, all around
Waiting to engulf,
Should you but allow

An awareness of this every moment,
Is Bliss here and now
Not in the distant future
Or in an unknown heaven

Why bother about birth and death
If this life is a dream
All the ‘lives’
Before and those to come are dreams too
The One Truth that encases all is ever-present
This birth or the next shall ever be in the arms of
The One.

Yet another opportunity to experience that Love
Yet another opportunity to merge
IN THE TRUTH THAT IS

This month a year ago


It been a year since the Tsunami struck. We lived just a couple of kilometers from the beach where the Tsunami struck. Until then the word Tsunami was not commonly known in Chennai, India before.

I just recollect what happened that day. It was a Sunday and to be woken up with the cot shaking was an experience. Earthquakes never did happen in this part of the world. At first I thought I was a little dizzy maybe and thought would just wash my face to properly wake up. Then found the water in the half-filled bucket swaying. The first thought was if this body of water could sway what about the huge one lying just by the side should it sway. And horror of horrors it did sway three hours later.

My book Kitchenette Soul had been printed and the copies neatly stacked at home, awaiting release. I was extremely apprehensive to say the least about the release of the book. I have never written before. When the news of the water coming inland, I thought to myself “Should this book see the light of the day, by Grace it will.” By the magnitude of the disaster we escaped by a hair’s breadth. Not many others were lucky. It’s a blessing to be here communicating with all of you.

The book was released on New Year’s Eve last year in the presence of My Master. It’s truly, truly a blessing to be Here and Now

My Master introduced me to the writer in me. I never knew there was one in me, never ever thought that a book would come out of some spontaneous writings that happened.
Through the book he opened the door to the whole world out there for me, effortlessly from just where I was.

The book introduced me to people I never would have met otherwise. It been a wonderful experience of expanding from where I was to interact and meet so many new people.

Blogging also happened consequently and that expanded my horizons still further. To meet so many great minds, encounter such beautiful thoughts everyday, that spark of a chain of positive thinking in me too. Its truly truly has been wonderful 2005

A time where I celebrated Life.
Tasted success,
Tasted some joys,
Some sorrow
A little anxiety,
shared some pain,
went through pain too,
and then change too
Left my 'own' people and place
To a 'new' place and 'new' people
Find they are mine too

LIFE IS THIS AND THAT
JUST IS

FIVE IN ONE
Earth
Water
Fire
Air
Space

An amalgam of five is me
All that I see around is an amalgam too just like me

The earth I tread on is a part of me
My teacher too
The water that sustains me is a part of me
The air that enters me is me too

I was created from the five
I shall return to these five elements
Just here for a while to experience the Divine
This Body and Mind are vehicles to experience the Divine
In me and around me
