when all are one
who is left out?

one day
one smile
let us walk
for a while


a walk
from no where
to no where.
every step
on sacred land.

The Moment

without a beginning
without an end.
that is the gift
of the moment.

Being Human

To be human,
we need to treat our circumstance as a friend,
neither fighting it nor surrendering to it.
We avoid the blame game and in stead try
to learn from each situation
and then move on.

Cause of Misery

What we see in the world outside
has already taken shape within us.
When we live as if, it is the other way round,
then we invite misery.

Evolution

How much do we need to survive?
Very little in deed.
Evolution is not about survival.
It is about the realisation that we are not just a body
but some thing else which just occupies a body for a while.
Let us pay attention to evolving and not just surviving.

Learning a Lesson

Congratulations.
If we have learned a lesson,
then an experience becomes memorable,
not a thing to be sorry about.
If we have learned a lesson
then we are free to move on to a new plane of existence.
We are all beginning to learn the value of community and fellow feeling,
for the wellness of the individual.
A single plant is vulnerable to the vagaries of nature,
but a plant in a jungle can stand it much better.
It can even contribute to the prosperity of the jungle s a whole.

Making a Mess

There is no shame in making a mess
only in expecting others
to clean it up for us.

Love and Lust

True love makes ripples
deep within.
Lust excites the skin.
Ganoba

Being and Becoming

I am a formless Being
that takes form
and then keeps toying with it.
All Being, I suspect
is inherently formless.

Becoming is a process
of the Being taking on roles
as the situation demands.
It is a transient phenomenon.

The rut

A rut, so cosy
it cuddles me
challenges me
to live fully.
Nothing to seek,
nothing to run after,
the moment
potent and pregnant
infinite possibilities.

Wisdom

The only Truth is NOW.
There is nothing else other than the present moment.
Forgetting this truth is the cause of all our problems.
(what a mania we are all suffering from?)
Obviously the solution of all our ills,
is to realise this truth and to live it.
This is WISDOM.

Spirituality begins when...

Spirituality begins when we start looking inward,
for the cause of all that is happening to us.

Once we begin to look for the cause within,
then we find that there is no duality.
Duality is created by the nature of choice we make.
What we acknowledge becomes friendly (godly),
what we disown becomes an enemy (the devil).
What we have are only qualities or gunas.
How we use them is a matter of our choice.
We can use them for the larger good or for our own personal gratification.
When we begin to look inwards then it is obvious,
that suffering is created not by external circumstances,
but by our response/ reaction to them.
